A CLERG YMAN Us. TIE CO!NSTOCK

Elsewhere we publish letter clipped
from the New York Tribune and writ
ten by prominent Baptist clergyman,
protesting against the work Of Antho-
ny Comstock and his gang. We are
pleased to see at least one clergyman
who ventures to speak out against this
internal gang Of spies and prosecutors,
although he does not sign his name to
tho letter. So complete has become
the terrorism which this villainous So
ciety, of which Comstock is the spy
and tool, has established, that decent
and sensible clergymen are afraid to
put their names to the mild protests
WEIGH they write.
The ADVANCE has stood alone
among the country newspapers in de-
nouncing and showing up the infa-
nous methods and villainous deeds of
this gang. Cur protests have fallen
still-born among our own people and
our near exchanges, but they have
made the ADVANCE widely known
among liberal publications thro ughout
the country. If our brother editors
would take the trouble to post them
selves rs to the work which the Com
stock gang are doing, there are very
few who would not join us III protest.
ing against these spies and procurors

stock be suppressed.
Let us look again at what this arch
prosecutor and spy has done and is do
ing:
l. lie has spotted certain liberal pa
pers for suppression, among them the
New York Truth Seeker and the Bos-
ton Banner Of Light. BY decoy let
ter he secured the arrest of D. NJ.
Bennett and his incarceration in the
Albany Penitentiary.
2. lie paid $l4 to some girls in
Green street New York, to expose their
persons and then had them arrested
for indecent exposure.
3. lie had Mrs. Chase, a lady physi
clan and publisher of the New Y ork
Psychologist, a reputable medical Jour-
nal, arrested for advertising and sell
ing All instrument calculated to relieve
suffering.
4. He procured the arrest of one of
the most respectable and reputable
physicians in New York for publishing
and selling a purely medical work on
sexual physiology.
5. He has established an espionage
over the United States mails which
would disgrace any absolute monarchy
on the earth, and which Congress
should not permit for another day.
6. lie Breasted some time ago that lie
had driven fifteen persons to commit
suicide by his prosecutions.

CORN and PORK.

Our Graham Lakes correspondent

lions to farmers, some of them in the
line of our recent article OIL corn rails

ly to learn from q Minneapolis trayel-
ing man that the pork raised in Mime
sofa is not drop in the bucket toward
supplying the demand in the North
west. OF course, we knew that this
was not considered corn and hog
country, but the amount raised is
nothing compared to what it should be
at the present time.
The belt in which we live, is adapted
TO the raising OF corn and hogs, we be-
lieve, more than to wheat raising.
Wheat raising will keep our farmers

THE HE'LL DOCTRINE.

The Pennington Press devotes half
a column to comments npon sermon
delivered at that place by a Methodist
preacher upon the hell doctrine. The
Press is much gratified to see that the
world moves, even in the NJ. E. church,
as this sermon emphasized the thought
''that neither heaven nor hell is place,
but condition Of the mind, which man
produces of his own volition.''
This view is not new. III the year
1857, the editor of the Worthington AD-
VANCE wrote short poem or sonnet,
which was published in a Virginia pa
per, expressing this thought, and SUBJ
seQuent reading and thinking have. not
changed his views. The poem, which
was thought at the time to he rather
''Mlvanced" for youth of Sunday
School proclivities, is as follows:
HEAJ:EN AND HELL.
Night locks the gates of Day. The Sun has
passed
Gone down down behind the Mountains blue and
And Angels hang the lamps out on the sky:
Across the eastern mountains far came
And deemed should be happier by the change
But Place will leave the anxious heart the same,
Bliss is in State, wheree the man may IA &c.
Sunsets ard rainbows and the sky's soft blue,
Earth's glory and the stars, are in the Mind:
The Heart must give the universe it's hue,
There is no Beauty when the Soul is blind.
We bear within us that which makes us blest,
And Heaven and Hell are carried In the breast,
Not long since Rev. II. ". Peasc.
Pastor Of the NJ. E. Church at I.uverne.
attacked the Herald. Of that place.
We notified Miller then that he would
''bile" for this some day in big black
kettle, with an NJ. i. Preacher stirring
up the fire. But Miller PERSISTS and it
seems Rev. Pease has really been doing
something bad for which he has been
expelled from the church.
The Herald says:
With reference to the misdemeanors
with which the pastor of the Method
iSt church, II. W. Pease, now stands
charged, it shOlld be born in mind that
man is innocent until he is proved
guilty. and until the charges are sus-
tanned, all should he careful to suspend
their Judgment. The affair is an ex-
treme1y unfortunate one and one that
all will regret. Nevertheless we should
never lose sight of the fact that If a
member of the church should prove
| himself prodigy of infamv, the blame
must rest solely on the individual him
self ..@. =.

THATBOREAL REGION.

THAT BURIAL KEGlON.
We sat in our sanctum the other day
with one of Sam Davis good cigars in
our mouth and st. Paul newspaper in
our hands and read with complacency
Of the billiards and snowed-up rail-
roads up in the Northern Pacific coun-
try. Those two engines, like two buck
ing rams, trying to get together,
and bucking away at the snow for
weeks, furnished us an amusing pic
ture. From Fargo to Bismark there
were three trains through from the LIST
to the 25th of February, and our little
spirit of snow on Friday and Saturday
last was only the leavings and screen
ings of one of Old Boreas' big grists
poured out on that Northern Pacific
country. There the country was buri-
ed again in snow and the exhausted To-
comotives saw with despair that they
must back off and begin to buck again.
All this we read with serene compos-
ure AS We thought of the fact that
down here in southwestern Minnesota,
right under the isothernal line, in the
corn and grass region Of the State,
there has not been a train showed up
this winter, and only on one or two &C.
casions were the trains few hours be-
hind. Last winter it was the same,
and this has been the case every winter
during the nine winters that we have
lived here, except the first one,
and one or two times afterwards
when trains were delayed for
day or two.
We have known but one really hard
winter since we have been here. The
average, the rule, the normal winter in
this prairie region, is a comparatively
mild, bright, enjoyable season, with
clear days, dry roads and millions of
cubic feet Of pure air.

The freight business of the road has

THATCRUEL GOD AGAIN.


EDITOR ADVANCE: When will
Mankind cease to advocate those erro-
neous ideas of 4 cruel, partial and op-
pressive Deity? Why should I'VE, the
people of this community, be censured
and punished more for our transgres-
sions than those Of our own friends
and kindred who fortunately live in
more prosperous countries at the pres
ent time? Is it possible that the God
Of all perfection should pour out his
wrath and indignation upon a poor,
suffering community just for-:?
Well for what? Here we must stop for
want of information. They say for
our wickedness, but don't say what
that WickedneSs consists Of, only for
being intidels. But there are as many
infidels among the people who live in
lands Of prosperity as there are here.
The Hebrew god always favored those
who had riches and held power and the
poor had to take care Of them selves.
The Bible says: Thou shalt not coun-
tenance the poor man in his cause.'
Consequently we can see no other rea-
oOiA III up
on us only for being poor. Well, we
have no business to lie poor. If we
could only all of us so to Congress
or hold some government offices and
belong to some aristocratic church, we
could soon all he rich and blessed.
All our difficulties and ups and downs
in this world are only attributable to
natural causes. Epidemcs and FAM
ines are no longer considered manifes-
tations Of Gods special anger, but are
attributed to a long disregard and dis
obedience of the common laws Of ma
ture. AS long rs the church and It's
adherents use their influence to impress
upon the minds of the people the char
acter of an angry, jealous and malici-
Gus God, what can we expect Of the
Christian world? Why should mankind
in their imperfection. lie better than
their God of all perfection? Is it not
natural for children to inherit the pro-
pensities Of their parents? We, the peo-
pie Of this country, ventured out too far
from shore and were caught by the
flowing tide and in order to save our
selves we have only to work and strug-
gle with all our might against the flow
ing tide and keep our heads above wa
ter and wait for the ebbng tide to
carry us back and land us again on the
shore of prosperity. perhaps wiser and
happier men and women.

PROFITS OF STOCK GROWING.

IAOr11O OT OlOCA U1COVxNU.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Having looked
over your county recently to some ex-
tent, wish to make few remarks
about stock raising. I recently visited
the farm of &. R. Perry, near Hersey,
and learned that three years ago he in
vested $500 in stock. He realized
$4,000 in cash from them and has near
ly 81 900 of increase, an average of 200
per cent. a year. This looks large,
and it is, but when, as you show in your
last issue of the ADVANCE, 10 months
old blooded calves setl for 500 it is safe
to calculate OH some such basis. Had
Mr.. Perry invested his money in sheep,
1 think he would have shown better re-
suits, though I believe it is better to
grow both kinds, and let me say right
here that I believe there is no better
place III the Northwest for stock grow
ing than in this locality, for you not
only have the best of water and plenty
of it, but you have an abundance of
blue joint grasses, which are far super.
ior to the tame grasses Of the East for
any kind of stock growing. There are
large quantities Of these grasses burn
ed and 60 to waste every year which
would be a strong temptation to our
eastern capitalists if they only knew of
the advantages offered here.
It is we'll understood that nature
provides clothing according to the eli
mate. North you get on an average of
from one to two pounds of wool per
head more than they do from the sheep
grown further south, and they are less
liable to disease. Couple this with the
advantage of markets and you have
large percentage in your favor.
There is large body of land for sale
by the railroad company that will make
equally as good farms rs Mr.. P.'s, but
l judge from the present outlook that
this will not be the case long. 1 learn
from railroad sources that there is
prospect of very large sales of land this
coming summer. PROsPECTOR,
