DEAR ADVANCE: Has it ever occur
red to you that the interior Of this high:
State Of Minnesota. these noble. plains,
or the vast vastness would be one. Of
the most desirable spots on earth to
bury ones soul in, an GASES in this des-
ert OF life, where one could find an ev.
erlasting grave, where cremation
might be done at small figure, where
unnecessary expense in all its details,
such as hack hire, floral decorations,
&C., could easily be done away with.
in the following manner: Stand alone.
Then when nature has supplied a gem
eral sufficiency. of .withered meadow,
set it afame and see how easily all this
could be done. =s ssssS !, r. -.
Or live in some wonderful town on
the Sioux City & st. Paul Railway,
where all conveniencies of /. life are
most munificently distributed to its
highly gifted settlers; where, fuel is as
as easily gotten as quartz in the Rock
ies,' and ranging at small figures
(unmentionable fearing that the coun-
try would be overrun with settlers
from all parts of the earth, and where
freight tariffs are at a most sacrificing
figure, almost ruination. But what
will not this corporation do for the
benefit of the country which runs with
in it's limits. Barely mention this and
nothing more.
Or where news from the outer world
come rarely, or far between, ); how much
dearer seems all this, than tlle.common
privileges of our eastern friends, where
the news is in daily circulation and
must become monotonous in the ex-
IRENE. Why should we complain in
deed. Please mention this.
Where mails are promptly and spec
tally delivered, whereby all important
privilege. Please mention this and
nothing more.
Where foreclosures and duns are
not done at all. Oh no, not here. Please
speak lightly and drink your own health
standing. Respectfully,
LUNACY.

VACCINATION.

We notice that the subject of vacci-
nation is under discussion now, and in
some places compulsory vaccination is
urged. In England and in some Of the
Eastern States there is much opposi-
ton to compulsory vaccinations. We
should have no objection to the vacci-
nation of any person who elects to he
thus poisoned, but to compel people to
submit to such a process is a barbar-
ism and an infamy which should be re-
sisted to the last. There is no ques-
ton whatever about the fact that con-
sumption, cancer, and all varieties of
scrofulous diseases are engrafted upon
healthy constitutions by means of vac
cination. An army officer informed US
that many of his boys were ruined, and
some OF them absolutely rotted away,
from vaccine poisons when vaccination
was enforced in the army.
# pure matter could be obtained d.
rectly from the cow there might be no
serious objection, but unfortunately
not one in a hundred is inoculated from
the pure matter. Let the fight against
forced vaccination so on. Prof. F. w.
Newman, speaking of vaccination,
says:
have seen an infant miserably per-
ishing from erysipelas induced by the
surgeons runcture, and, the mother
wasted by watching day and.night over
the babe's agonies.
Regarding law making vaccination
compulsory he afiirms:
As an Englishman and man of com.
mon sense deplore and denounce this
tyrannical, this usurping law. TO for
bid perfect health, as the law does, I
hold to be beyond the legitimate power
of any legislature. >~s....

The Star Route Cases.

THE CANARDs ABOUT CABINET CHANGES.
The return OF the President and Postmaster
General James from Long Branch has not
brought solid comfort TO the representatives OF
the Star route ring. During the absence OF the
cabinet last week the ring men talked good
deal about the wonderful things which were to
happen to certain members OF the cabinet who
were engaged in ferreting out the crimes OF che
organized band OF robbers. Having failed three
weeks ago In securing the removal OF Postmas-
ter General James, which had then been de-
clded upon by the ring the Attorney General
authOr1tat1vely announced that Gen. Garfield
would request Mr.. MacNeagh's resignation as
soon as the former returned from Long Branch.
He has returned, but the confidently aatic!-
ted renCva has not take place.
It can De stated upon entirely reliable
authority that the President has no intention
OF making any changes In his Cabinet. He is
VERY anxious that the star route cases should
be Iu-h he'd TO q final conclusion. and that no
steps which will serve TO convict the guilty
parties shall be omitted. he approves the
made no suggestions TO the prosecuting at
torneys and has Il utmost confidence In the
Attorney Generals wisdom and ability.
Several OF the cases against leading members
OF the ring Will be completed In ABOUT two
weeks, ready for presentation TO the grant
jury when IL meets In September. Had it no
been for the customary summer vocation OF
the court the leading members OF the ring
would have been indicted by the lst OF Augus
that 1t was the intention OF the court TO ad-
JourD, they would never, it is believed hs ye
