about one half what 1t was a few years ago and
by printing very large editions, which also
greatly reduces the cost as compared with small

The old saying is ''its poor rule that

Let us take some of the thoughts of

that Book OF Books of his:
For instance, 3Sth chapter of Genesis
concerning Judah and lamar, his
dauShteI-ili-law; 10 chap. of the same
book, lot and lis daughter; I'd Kings,

DIFFER ENCE IN FREIGH7s.

The Mankato Review, commenting
upon railroad movements now going
on In this part of the State, says:
If Chicago roads can lay down gro
ceries vt Mankato for Is cents per
hundred, for Il distence of 400 miles,
there is no reason why the st. Paul and
Sioux City road should charge 40 cents
for = distence Of only S. miles. Adj
hitting that st. Paul can sell AS cheap
rs Chicago, the difference in freight
alone compells merchants to give pref
erence to the latter. The same is true
Of lumber, while it can be bought as
cheap IN Lacrosse as at Minneapolis,
the difference Of 50 to S. per car in fl.
vor Of the former. is the reason why
our dealers give that market the pref
rrence. This is the secret of the whole
matter. While ordinarily the people
If Southern Minnesota, would prefer,
I'LL things being equal, to aid in build
ing up a commercial city within the
limits Of Minnesota, State pride is not
sufficiently strong to induce them to
pay such !. high premium as is asked to
contribute to that object,

over as conclusive proof, the fact that the

information in regard to the recent traffic on

does not appear that they have any such
foundation as to justify the alarm In the

were. has made a splendid run. A GOOD crv

THEY GANlT W1IT

To any political party in a fairly prosper
Gus condition, to whose leaders the very be-
witchng temptation is offered to do some
thing by way of legislation or otherwise to i'm
prove its prospects, we commend thoughtful con-
sideration of the epitaph said to have been found
in an old churchyard: 81 was well; wanted
"to be better took medicine; and here
"am." As general rule it may be set down
that the party which goes about building
itself UP by making or unmaking laws, or by
any sort Of agitation not absolutely neces-
sary, is in the same bad way with the well
man taking medicine. 1t is as wise in par
ties as in individuals to heed the estab-
lshed maxim and let well alone. Our
impatient Democratic friends in the
present Congress, however, do not so view
it. They spurn the teachings of history and
the lessons of experience. Having, after
twenty years of exile, come back to full pos
session of power in the legislative department,
nothing will do but that they must go to
work at once making and unmaking laws, just
to show how well they can do it. Short
sighted leaders and Inflated party They
forget that it was what they did, and not what
they omitted to do, between 1854 and 1860,
that earned them their defeat; that two or
three times since then, through their not hay
ing the opportunity to disclose their weakness,
they have come almost to power, and only
failed because with the first chance to do any
thing they did it, and it was always foolish
that they gained the last two Congresses, not
by anything they did themselves, but by what
their opponents did and that their present
majority has been reduced by the fact of their
having had opportunities to show their capa-
city, or lack of capacity, for legislation.
The party in power is safest, and certainly
the country is, when Congress is not in ses-
sion. The tendency of the most conservative
and best balanced of legislative bodies is to
over-legislate. The Legislature or Congress
that does the least is always most popular.
