MAHTOMEDI.

Sunday the Greatest Day of All at Mahto-
medi-ChildreB's Day To-Day.
A testimony and praise meeting at $50
a. N. inaugurated the successful meetings
yesterday. Mr. Hammond led the morn
ing devotions. At 1920 Bishop Foss
preached an excellent sermon to 600 souls.
His text was: "He that spared not his
own life but delivered it up for US all;
shall he not freely give US all things?" His
divisions were as follows:
1st-We see God delivering his son.
2d-Reasons why God should withhold
his son.
1st-Arguments drawn from the fact of
Gods giving his sen.
He dwelt on the lowliness OF Christ, his
persecution, suffering, sorrow and Gods
feelings through all. The union that we
sustain to him. The bishop was very elo-
quent at times and every one seemed
pleased with 1.-The effort.
At 1:30 p. m. the brethren of
the Swedish conference held
held a meeting in the amphitheater. Rev.
Nelson, of Minneapolis. preached. Many
we're present from different parts of the
state.
using as text these words: "For me to
live is Christ to die again" All must pre-
pare for eternity, he said, and gave many
illustrations from biography showing the
excellence of character which We should
initiate. At the close a consecrating meet
ing helped some souls into a higher life.
EVENING MEETING.
DR.. Smith read lesson from 1st john
Rev. T. Mckinley, of Winona, preached
the sermon. Text: But as many as re-
cesved him to them gave he power to be-
come the sons of God. He said we are
transfgured from generation to genera
ton We may be born in
religious ideas. We are naturally born
the sons of man but not the sons of God.
Vice and virtue run in families, not gene
ologies. The will of the flesh can not
make man the son of God. We may not
underestimate the will. There is a ten
tency to do this. Man has power to do
much more for himself than he does do.
The strength of will is increased
by contact with other wills, hence
the power of organization
The effect can never transcend the causeso
! they will can neveF produce union with God
of itself man may, with his viii, begin a
Christian life. God accepts these in every
nature that accepts him. The sermon was
good one. An altar service at the close
of the sermon was of great power.
To-day is children's day. An excursion
flom Saltwater has been arranged to bring
| several hundreds from that place. It is
also expected that there will be large at
tendance from St. Paul and Minneapolis
Quite a company of soldiers, including
Col. johnson, were present yesterday af-
ternoon.
1t has been arranged to continne Sunday
services at Mahtomedi during this month
and August, so that those on the ground
and at White Bear may be sure of attrac-
tive services each Sunday at II O'Clock
a. m.
The interest IN the camp meeting will

ASSISTED EMIGRATION.

The inutility and fooiishness of assisted
emigration is completely shown by the
recent labor trouble in New Hampshire.
company Of manufacturers imported
from Sweden a number of people, with a
view to giving them employment, partly
for the reason that it was estimated that
the labor thus secured would cost less, and
partly for the reason that there was a
scarcity of the operatives in demand. The
people selected for this purpose were very
poor. Their passages were paid for them,
and when they reached this country furni-
ture and other supplies were bought for
them, and thus they had fair start in
their new homes and new life. But the
scheme was a total failure. The laborers
turned out to be shiftless, thriftless, and
dishonest. And furthermore, they turned
out to be dangerous and insubordinate,
and the state authority was invoked to
quell disturbance that arose.
Another case was that Of glass manu-
facturer in Ohio. An agent of the house
visited Europe and selected body of glass
blowers from Bohemia. A contract was
entered into in regard to wages, services
and other matters, to cover period OF
years. The passage of the men aDd their
families to this country was paid, and in
addition some advances granted. After a
few months, when the operatives
had begun to be of some use to their
employers they suddenly quit work. An
action was brought in the courts to COM
pei the men to return to work and to car
ry out the contract. counter action was
instituted by the men, and after vexa-
tious delay the manufacturers were salts
fed that their assisted emigrants were
more cost than profit, and so they were
abandoned to their own will. Among these
people there is go material for citizenship,
and in that respect it is misfortune to
+ the country that they have come into it.
Another case, differently managed, pre-
sents different view. The present min
lister to Sweden has established colony
of emigrants in the pine woods OF
Maine. These people had the means to pay
their own fare and surplus enough
to buy or build and furnish such houses as
| they needed or desired. An inducement
as regarded land was all the offer or assist.
ance afforded them. The colony is pros
pering. The people are industrious, fru.
| gal and developing into good citizens
This importation is a success. The clas:
of people who had some accumulation and
means in the old country, will flourish here
where broader opportunities are within
their grasp. The history of these cases i:
valuable. The deduction is that assisted
emigration is failure. The people whC
accept transplantlng under such conditions
become public hindrances and burdens
They add to the volume Of consumption
but in the department of production the!
merely beg and steal. The lesson which
this experience affords should not be lost.

be reduced by so much, and the burden of
the taxpayers lessened. Mr.. Gladstone in
making up his budget is able to estimate
within a margin like that, and it
can be done under this govern
ment just as well. A surplus
of such dimensions would be no embarrass-
1nent to business OF impose hateful ebur-
den on taxpayers.
The country will not tolerate Mr.. Whar-
ton Barker's plan fer perpetuating high
taxes in the interest of monopolists, even
if the president is in favor of it, though
the truth doubtless is, he is not. Whatthe
country intends to have is such an adjust
ment of taxes as maybe limited to the
necessities of the government economically
administered. A system. of taxation SO ad-
justed in It's application as to prevent un-
equal burdens, and at the same time offer
encouragement to the productive interests
of the country, affording 20 labor just
compensation, but powerless to create or
foster >nonopolies.
Any project that is hostile to the method
just outlined cannot be epgrafted upon
the American system, the mo2opolists and
protecticnists of Pennsylvania to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. MIR. Wharton
Barker is just the kind of statesman to de-
stroy his party, and President Garfield did
a wise thing i'll giving that selfish schemer
the cold shoulder. President Arthur can
follow the same policy to his personal
profit at ths very least. All men, includ-
r
understand that this country will never see
the day when its government will collect
money by taxation to pay it back to the
people. The surplus revenue robbers may

SURPLUS RETENUE,

1t seems that that estimable young man,
Mr.. Wharton Barker, is the author of the
Pennsylvania protection scheme to distrib-
ute the surplus revenue among the states
The wonderful Mr.. Barker went to Presi-
dent Arthur before the PENNSYLVANIA
Republican convention was held and asked
his approval of the contrivance to tax the
people so as to pay the surplus revenue
back to-them. It is said that Barker's
resolution got in the Pennsylvania plat
form upon the story being told that the
president was in favor of the idea and
would recommend it in his next message.
Now it is denied that Arthur gave any
approval at all to Mr.. Wharton Barker's
scheme, and the denial has
at least in its favor the probability of con-
sistency, as in his last message the presi-
dent advocated different doctrine, to-wit:
that the revenues of the government should
be limited to the actual needs of the gov
eminent economically and honestly ad-
ministered. That is a sound position, and
Arthur is too little dreamer to have for
gotten what he had said, and too crafty a
polltlclanto have given his endorsement to
the dishonest project that would open the
t1oodgates and turn on to this country a
TOW of corruption that has never been
known, and it is hoped never will be.
Those who favor the idiotic notion OF
Mr. Wharton Barker say that it is impos-
slble to determine beforehand exactly
what the revenue will be in any one year
No government has ever done that. Sc
they argue it is ''pure folly to say that
the government ought not raise more
money than it needs. Granted that the
exact amount of revenue cannot be fore
cast, still the most stubborn surplus reve
nue. protectionist will admit that it can be
arrived at nearer than $13O,OOO,OO0. Sup

a SALARY GRAB BILL KILLED.

By an act passed in 1879 the pay of
members OF the Massachusetts legislature
was fixed at $500. 1t was not anticipated
that the legislature would be in session
more than three or four months of each
year. The present legislature has now
been in session seven months, and it seems
probable that the sitting may be per-
petual. In view of the length of the ses-
sion the lower house passed bill raising
the salary to 800. When the bill reached
the senate it created spirited discussion,
principally among the Republican sena-
tors. The senators generally favored the
bill, and all who spoke said they saw
nothing wrong about it, and at one time,
had the vote been pressed it would have
passed. 1t was urged against the bill that
it was salary grab of the rankest sort
and men who voted for it would be unable
to explain such a vote to the sat
isfaction and approval of their constitu-
ents. The great length of the session was
the plea urged in behalf of the "grab.'
while it was true the session was long tht

service of the people, but to serve party
ends. He had been kept prisoner to heal

Il SGiuf0ry Lesson.
IGrand Forks News |

The Red River valley, noted the world
over for its fertility and for It's exceptional
exemption from the vicissitudes that en-
barrass farming operations in other
regions, has barely escaped a serious ca
lamity in the shape of drouth. A practi-
cal farmer from the stony hills of the east
looking over our prairies in the spring,
with their superabundanee of moisture,
and examining the frjable surface soil, IN
derlaid by clay subsoil that holds water
like barrel. would wonder how it were
possible, with proper cultivation, that such
land could fail, even in the dryest season,
TO produce at least a reasonable yield of
gram. That it has barely escaped failing
TO DO so this season is fact too apparent
TO doubt, and truth that our farmers
should be ashamed to acknowledge.
There Is an axiom, that "where provi-
dence does most for man he does least for
nlmseIt," illustrations of the truth of
winch are abundant all over this country,
ana the Red river valley furnishes its
quota. In many cases with first settlers,
supernclal cultivation is almost a necessity.
out unfortunately, after the necessity has
disappeared, 1t becomes q habit, and SLOW
oA11 A1AAi4nS, Win ltS consequent short
crops, IS the result. And had there been
a failure of an average crop in the Red
river valley this season, inefficient cuIti-
vatlon would have been solely to blame for
1t. The writer of this article has given
close attention to crop reports during the
present season, and the result of his OBJ
servations is that where land has been
properly drained so as to relieve it of the
surface water early in the spring, plowed
to the depth of six or seven inches, and
carefully seeded, there would have been an
average crop without drop of rainfall
from the 1st of July until harvest.
In the cultivation of wheat, and that the
best produced in the world, the north Da-
kota farmer is almost absolutely inde-
pendent of climate or meteorological in
1uences. The melting of the SHOWS of
winter and the spring rains furnish an
abundance of moisture, which is retained
IN the soil; the timely drainage of surplus
water IN the spring, and the cultivation of
the soil to fine tilth of sufficient depth to
give the roots of the plant room for growth
will insure good crop IN any season. It
is hoped that the scare they have had this
year will prove salutary lesson for our
farmers, and that they will by better culti-
vation provide sgainst such disgracefuI
calamity in the future as failure of the
crops in north Dakota

The music for the sham drill and parade
was composed of mouth organs and snare
drums, both operated by amateurs. If
the performers had been heard at head

About 2:3o p. N. the large pavilion in
front of the Williams house, having at the
time about twenty-five people seated under
its roof, suddenly broke down, the water
sine piers having probably been under
miued by the big storm of Monday.
The floor fell to an incline down the bank,
while the heavy roof settled down and
then slid off into the water. It seemed to
have caught a number of ladies and chill
dren, and cry was raised that the floating
roof carried several drowning persons.
Capt. Burger, Mr.. Mashoe, Capt. Jno. Fish,
DR.. Davenport and others promptly sprang
into the water and worked for release of
any who might be under the roof. Among
the men in the water was Wade
Hampton, formerly sergeant
in the Twenty-ifth q. S. Infantry,
and Col. Lawson. his former company
commander, called to him to dive and look
under water to see if there was anybody
under the pavilion roof. Hampton recog-
nized the voice, and only half turned his
head before he went under water. The
one-armed Capt. Burger and Capt. Fisk
also went under, and the three quickly
discovered there was no one else under the
roof. Meantime it was ascertained on
shore that all who were in the pavilion
had escaped without being
thrown into the water. One
woman had her right arm badly bruised
and baby's hand was severely bruised,
but all the rest fortunately escaped with
out harm. Before the doubt was solved
and while anxious relatives and friends
were searching for those supposed to have
been in the pavilion, the excitement of the
crowd was intense.
The wind was not favorable for sailing
but all the boats were our during the after
noon, and they, with all sail spread, made
the view from the shore at all times a
beautiful one.

In taking leave of his congregation TO

In taking leave of his congregation for
his summer vacation, Henry Ward Beecher
told themsa period of abstinence from
church going would probably be as bene-
fetal to them as a period of rest from
preaching would be to him. The frank
remark of Mr.. Beecher is capable of the
application that people need to guard
against too much dependence on their
preacher, and an excess of spiritual min
istrations. Mr.. Beecher doubtless had in
his minds eye the class of people who
cram themselves with religious truth or
dogma, and so become mentally and spirit
ually narrowed and dwarfed and need the
opportunity for vacation for intellectual
refreshment. Mr.. Beecher's clear under
standing of human nature is happily illus
trated in this remark.

Postmaster Wright yesterday received a
notification from the postofice department
at Washington that a daily mail service
from Livingston to Mammoth Hot Springs
had been authorized to go into operation
on the Goth inst. The contract for the
route has been awarded to Wakefield &
Hoffman. They will probably not be in
readiness to enter upon the service before
Monday next, but after that date their
coaches will run daily. At present, at
least, coaches will take the mail direct
from the Livingston Office, though it is
possible that after a time it may be taken
out to the end of track by rail. The same
order authorizes a tri-weekly service to
Cooke City, in the Clark's Fork district,
and the weekly mail from Bozeman to the
Park and the mines is discontinued from
this date. The new arrangement has long
been q necessity and will be hailed with
qualification not only by those at the ter
minus of the line and intermediate points,
but by the people of Livingston, who thus
see themselves brought into direct and
regular connection by mail with the min
ing region of Clark's Fork, with the tourist
crowded Park and with the prosperous
country along the route. Postmaster
Wright feels degree of elation over this
desirable consumation for which he has
worked long and diligently. Though the
Livingston postofice has large revenue
the total emoluments for the postmaster
hitherto has only reached the sum of $1,000
! and as Mr.. Wright hired a clerk there was
absolutely nothing left for him. By the
new arrangement, which makes Living

| Iowance for clerk hire, thus leaving mar
gin to compensate the postmaster for his
