REGISTER we should Judge that some

planned of. To all that we may have
offended we would say that it was
unintentionally done, "that all things
work together for the good of those
who love the Lord"

The adulteration of food is being
seriously discussed by the newspapers
in our leading cities, and extended in
vestigations are being made. It has
been discovered that bogus articles are
such clever limitations that no one is
certain of what he is eating. About
the only relief offered SO far is for the
people of large cities to flee to rural
districts where pure food is cheaper
than adulterated limitations.

Because Malone, the new Senator
from Virginia, has refused to act with
the Democratic party and aided the
Republicans in organizing the Senate,
many persons think they see the "be-
ginning of the end" of the solid South.
We think this opinion comes more
from an earnest desire that such might
be the case than from any good reasons
that can be advanced to show why the
Solid South is about to be broken. 1t
is doubtless true that there are large
number of intelligent Southerners who
are heartily sick of the Solid South,
and especially of the means used to
make and keep it solid, and it is also
doubtless true that the bold stand Ia
ken by Senator Malone will strength
en- this dissatisfied independent ele-
ment in the Southern States, but it is
yet to be seen whether they will be
able TO keep the ascendency in Va. or
control a single Southern State. When
ex-Coagressman Smith was recently
interviewed in reference to this matter
he said that the Bourbon Democrat,
as lac knew him in North Carolina,
could only be reformed by death. And
the same we think can be said of those
OF all the Southern States. Senator
Malone has enabled the new Repub-
Ecan administration to start out with
both fouses Of Congress in its favor,
but t. .at he has broken the Solid South
we think there is as! yet no evidence.
The desire to be able to dispense the
patronage of the general government
will doubtless induce the Democrats
to keep the South Solid for some time
to come.

The Kansas State Pharmaceutical
Association will meet at Topeka on the
18th of this month. At this meeting
an effort will be made to have the
druggists in the State act in harmony
in reference to the temperance law.
And an effort will doubtless be made
to get the druggists. all to refuse to
take out license, as many think the
restrictions upon them too severe. We
think Thatcher's amendment to the
new law which passed the Senate,
was e good oneand ought to have been
passed by the House, but as it did not
the druggists will have to be bound
up tight or else refuse to deal in alco-
hoiic liquors. A refusalon the part of
the druggists to comply with the IA W
will doubtless compel the next Legis-
lature TO modify it, and in the mean
time we think the people will not suf-
fer greatly because they can not obtain
intoxicating liquors.

Farmers should bear in mind that
experience has clearly demonstrated
that it is as important to use care and

corr as in selecting animals from
which to breed. Uniform, medium

better results than large, coarse ears.

The Methodist Episcopal Conference
recently held at Concordia, Kansas,
gave us a practical demonstration Of
the fact that wise and good men often
do very foolish things. We allude to
the resolution passed by this Confer:
enee requesting the..Bismarck Encamp-
nlent Committee to withdraw the
invitation of DIR. Howard Crosby to
lecture at Bismarck next summer.
This public, uncharitable aud discount
eous act toward brother who has
been a lifelong and efficient labores
for the same Master whom they serve,
was unworthy the representatives OF
great, intelligent and progressive
church; and besides it did an injury
rather than good to the cause of tenn
perance. That DR.. Crosby is in error
in reference to the best means of sup
pressing intemperance and drunken
ness, We verify believe; but the action
of this Conference, and like denuncia-
tons of the doctor by other temperance
men, arouses opposition and resentment
in the minds of hundreds of men who
live consistent temperate lives who
agree with DR.. Crosby as to the best
means of advancing the Gauge Of tenn
perance. And if our temperance law
is made success it is necessary to have
the assistance and corporation of these
men. Hence the foolishness of raising
side issues or denouncing temperance
people because they are not radical
prohibitionists. What the temperance
people Of this State want is such unity
and harmony of action as will enable
them to close up tie saloons and pa

The barge lines, established for the
purpose of carrying grain from st Lou
is to New Orleans, are proving a grand
success and will doubtless solve the
question for the farmers of the west
Of cheap transportation to the sea
board. AS much as $4,000 bushels of
wheat have been set atloat i'm one day
by these tow boats and barge linss,
and as this is going ON continually it
can be seen what immense proportions
this business has already assumed.
The aE2ountof grain taken out in one
day by tow boat with karges is suf-
f;cient to load twenty-seven ordinary
freight trains. If railroads get fair
proportion Of the products of the Miss
issippi valley for transportation to
the sea-board, they must compete with
these barge lines. 1t is cheaper to
transport products by water than by
rail, but if the railroad companies
make fight to retain fair share of
this traffic it will give greatly reduced
rates of transportation, to the advan-
tage of our western farmers and stock
raisera.

books. A solemn written promise is
then exacted of him that he will not
give lessons of any kind, or try to teach
any one that every letter he writes will
g through the Ispravnik's hands, and
that he will follow no occupation except
shoemaking, carpentering or field-labor.
He is then told that he is free, hut at
the same time he is solemnly warned
that, should he attempt to pass the
limits of the town, he will be shot down
like dog rather than be allowed to
escape and, should he be taken alive,
shall be sent off to Eastern Siberia with
out further formality than that of the
Ispravnik's personal order.
The poor fellow takes up his little
bundle, and, fully realizing that he has
now hidden farewell to the culture and
material comfort of his past life, he
walks out into the cheerless street. A
group of exiles, all pale and emaciated,
are there to greet him, take him to some
of their miserable lodgings, and fever
ishly demand news from home. The
newcomer gazes on them as one in a
dream; some are melancholy mad,
others nervously irritable, and the re-
mainder have evidently tried to find
solace in drink. They live in commu-
mites of twos and threes, have food, a
scanty provision of clothes, money and
books in common, and consider it their
sacred duty to help each other in every
emergency, without distinction of sex,
rank or age. The noble by birth get 16
shillings month from the Government
for their maintenance, and commoners
only 10. Winter lasts eight months, q
period during which the surrounding
country presents the appearance of a
noiseless, lileless, frozen marsh-no
roads, no communication with the outer
world, no means of escape. In course
of time almost every individual exile is
attacked by nervous convulsions, follow
ed by prolonged apathy and prostration.
They begin to quarrel, and even to hate
each other. Some of them contrive to
forge false passports, and, by miracle,
as it were, make their escape; but the
great majority Of these victims of the
Third Section either go mad, commit
suicide or die of delirium tremens.
