lative 10 The jurisdiction OF Justices, The
point in question being whether Or moi
Justices Of the Peace had Jurisdiction
over ofienses in which Imprisonment
might be aajudged as penalty, il being
held b. soair that when the statutes made
= fine Or Imprisonment discretionary. the
Justice could consider the case and assess
= line. The point was u nice one and
the Attorney General, after reflection aud
= critical examination or the statute came
70 the following conclusions:
\. justices have exclusive jurisdiction
~ All cases where the fine can not exceed
three dollars.
?. Justices have jusisdic-
ton. 20 the extent OF twenty-five dollars
line IN all cases where the ofIense Is pun
ishable By fine only.
;. Justices have Jurisdiction as CON-
q ting Or recognizing officers in ell Of
fenscs.
4. Justices have no power to imprison
except under sections 73 aud ~ for non

The numerous creameries now spring
ing up all over Southern Minnesota are
sufficient evidence that good butter Is
more preferable than peor. What ar
ticle OF food is better relished by man
kind in general than good butter! It.
is source of congratulatiOn that this
branch of American industry is on the
advance. These creameries prove not
only profitable to their owners. but to
the farmer as we'll, for those farmers
within the radius Of several miles to
well established creamery receive
much better price for their milk from
the creamery than they possibly could
If made into butter and then sold. The
creamery near Winnebag0 City pays
the farmers who furnish it with milk
the same as fifteen cents q pound for
butter, without the making. The con-
sequence is that farmers in that imme.
diate vicinity are improving their stock
and introducing cows possessing s0pe-
rior milking properties. Free

THE TRUE RIBLE

The ADVANCE has said frequently,
since the Bible revision began. that we
shall never have the true or reliable BIZ
ble until it is col!ated and given to us
by a commission of scholars, sitting
simply as scholars, without any church
or creedal prejudices to govern them.
The present Bible is partial, doctored,
interpolated and emasculated Bible, ar
ranged by the priests in the interest of
Orthodox Theology. 1t is not the whole
Bible nor half Of it. And until all the
sacred books are gathered together and
published, just rs oriental nations have
done with their Bibles, the Christian
nations are defrauded and the Christian
Bible is a fraud.
Thus. as to the Gospels, it is well
known that large number have been
rejected by the priests and only four,
and these of doubtful authenticity,
handed down to US as ''inspired." AS
though a. body of komish or Protestant
priests, sitting in council, could deter
mine what was ''inspiration" and what
was not. The only fair way is to give
the people the whole mass of s0.called
sacred books and let them Judge for
themselves.
AS bearing upon this matter we find
the following in recent number of
man." a journal published by Asa K.
ButtS. of New York.
We very quickly found that the au-
thenticily of the canon rests on the fiim-
siest foundations. That the only Cos
pei which presented any claims to be
the work Of the Apostles of Christ was
one not recognized in the cannon at all.
Yet we soon found some seventy differ
ent fragments, some of considerable
length, which were found clearly quot
ed i'll the writings of the early fathers.
These fragments of the Gospel, accord
ing to the Hebrews, may be found in
the works of many authors treating on
the subject, and especially IN volume
prepared III 1879, by Professor Nichol-
son, Librarian Of the London Institu.
tiOn.
This eminent orthodox scholar has COL
lated and translated about 81 as certaiu
fragments Of this original gospel. and
us many more which were probably por-
tions Of the same, and has published the
same with copious notes. Prof. Nich-
o'son's book seems to have been writ
ten largely rs u reply to another emf
nent author who wrote ANONYMOUSLY
''Supernatnral Religion" This book
was published several years ago, max
ing every where great sensation. It
contained many extracts from the Cos
pei according to the Hebrews. Schol-
ars have had these extracts before them
for a long time.

LITERARY NOTICES.

THE GRIMES OF PREACHERS in the u
nited States from May, 1875, to May,
1881. BY Nj. f. BILLINGS. Independ-
ent Print, Waverly, Iowa.
simultaneously with the stir caused
by the Atwater case comes this little
book of 81 pages, mostly taken up with
4 catalogue of ministers or preachers
who have been exposed and deposed
during the FIVE years from May, 1876, to
May, 1881. The name, residence and Of
fence of each is given and the list of
names covers over twenty pages. The
number who have been published il
these five years foots up 9l7, and covers
nearly all the crimes of which other
men are guilty. The bulk of them are
crimes against or with women. The
author says: ''Of these 456 have been
against women in a sexual way, and 81
against women in other ways, or 544
against women especially" These 9l7
cases have been gathered from the
newspapers during the five years men,
toned. The denominations to which
the preachers belonged have been pre-
served in only 2O3 instances. Of these
POS, the Methodists have 72, Baptists
4e, Presbyterians %, Catholics 10, Con-
gregationalists Is, Episcopalians 10,
Campbellites 6, Lutherans IL, Advent.
lists S, United Brethercn 8, Hebrew 2.
Unversalists l. The per cent in this
list Of offenders is: Methodist 80 per
cent, Baptist 20, Presbyterian 10, Cath
olic 9, Congregationalist 6, and so on.
The author asks: 'Can it be possible
that the most orthodox are the most
criminal and vice versa? Are men
nearer pure rs regards crime the furth-
er they get from orthodox belief? It
seems sO."
This list indicates one thing quite
plainly, viz: that in proportion rs they
believe in and preach an eternal hell.
they are inclined to fall into crime and
in proportion as they deny it they do
the reverse. Thus there are ~ Metho-
odists and only one Universalist in the
list of 2O8 where the denomination is
given. This accords with a fact pub.
lished some time ago. a gentlemen
who made the round among number
of penitentiaries found that most of
the inmates were orthodox Chris
tians in education who had been
brought up to believe in endless punish
ment. Facts are stubborn things and
the facts show beyond dispute that the
teaching of the orthodox churches does
not save men, neither priest nor layman,
from a criminal life, while proper edu-
cation and training does save them:
The per cent. of criminals among the
classes who deny vicarious atonement
and endless punishment is much less
than among the classes who teach and
believe these doctrines.
The pamphlet referred to above is
certainly suggestive. Either preachers
are worse than other men or they are
less sllrewd in avoiding detection.
We should like to see a list of editors,
lawyers, doctors, teachers: etc.. who
have been exposed in crime during the
past five years, so that we might know
with more accuracy which one of the
professional classes leads off in crime.
at present the preachers seem to be
''carrying everything before them" rs

came in behind ut the races.

THE PRESIDENT.

The past three or four days have been
days Of great anxiety rs to the condi
ton of the President. On Sunday he
was taken with vomiting and has been
in critical condition since. The
physicians announce that the wound is
doing we'll and the trouble is with his
stomach. If they can keep that from
being rebellious and in a condition to
receive food, they see no reason why
the President should not recover. If
the stomach continues rebelliOus death
is said to be certain.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that the man named Beefort, who
was accidentally shot in Worthington
few years ago was wounded similarly
to the President. The ball struck rib
and was turned downward in about the
same direction. He lived two months
and seemed to be doing well, when lie
was seized with vomiting and died
few days after. From this. some of
our people predict the death of the
President. We think, however, that
Deefort's liver was injured from the
fact that he became yellow some time
before his death.

One of the most offensive circumstan-

President Garfield has been the jmper-
tinent prattle of DR.. Hammond of New

long range has not only been unprOfes-
sional but ndecent.-Minneapoli Trl-

Well, we arc glad to llear such good
orthodox paper rs the Tribune say so.
Hammond was discharged from his po-
siti"n Of Surgeon General in the Army
for some sort of fraud, and ever since
he has been devoting his energies to the
maintaining of medical bigotry and pro-
1essional egotism and aristocracy. He
was one of those five or six ''experts,

professional tomfoolism. Beard, how

Bv carefully scanning the columns OF
the Free Press to-day, it will be seen
that candidates for some of the respon-
sible offices in Blue Earth county have
alreadv stepped to the foot-lights. This
is bold, manly and proper. Time was,
in our remembrance even. when such a
step would have been regarded as the
height of immodesty, and for a candi-
date to vote for himself, fairly shock:
ing.-Mankato Free Press.
This good old custom Of candidates
coming before the people in advance of
all conventions and in disregard of ring
'.slates'' has been introduced i'll this
county for the first time. Time was in
this county when every ticket was made
up aud every convention controlled by
''mac'iue." The ''slate'' was sure to
20 through at the convention and if the
delegates 50 far forgot their allegiance
to their masters rs to nominate single
man who was not on the ''slate," then
the machine was turned against that
man and the slaves of the machine bolt
ed and fought against that nominee of
their own convention. This so disgust
ed one or two townships that for several
years they have refused to send dele
gates to the Irregular" Republican Ma
chine Convention. They said, ''if we
do nominate Il man We want, your Dun
nell juggernaut machine will be turned
against him to crush him.
We hope now that candidates will be
announced in advance and that the peo-
pie will be given time to make a choice.
The curse of the Republican party is its
machine methods and distrust of the
peODle.

THURSDAY. AUGUST IS. 1881.

1t is now given out that the offence
for which Spotted Tail was murdered
was the seduction Of an Indians wife.
This is decidedly thin but it shows that
the Indian it taking on the pretexts II
not the virtues OF the white man. 1t Is
remarkable how many white men, when
they want an excuse for quarreling
with or shooting fellow man. will
trump up an ''insult'' or something to
their wives. It is . most cowardly
dodge but it is common even In smaller
auarrels. OF course man who thus
drags his wife into his quarrels and
hide behind her petticoats for protec-
gainst public sentiment. is mis-
creant and coward. Crow Dog has

Dakota reports estimate the wheat at
six to fifteen bushels, the latter being
the outside. If the average reaches
eight to ten, it will do we'll.
