CONNECTICUT has acted wisely in re-
fusing to admit the new Minnesota
bonds to the list or trust investments
permitted by law. If all states would
take the same attitude toward repudi.
ating states there would be more mu-
nicipal honor. If the bonds of states
which do not pay one hundred cents
on dollar were refused as trust in
vestments in the rich northern states,
it would be pretty hard for the repu-
diators to find market.

A BILL has been introduced in the
Canadian legislature regulating the
right of suffrage. The bill is based
on the principle that person must
possess pecuniary interest in the coun-
try to be entitled to the right to vote.
In addition to being citizen of the
Province, the voter must be the owner
of real estate of the value of $500.
Sons living with parents may vote,
provided the parent owns real estate
equal to $500 for each son. The fore
going are the principal qualifications
for voters in cities and villages. For
voters in the country the property
qualification differs little. The bill
gives unmarried women and the I'M
married daughters of faamers, who
are real estate owners, the right of
suffrage on the same conditions as
men. 1t is said the bill will become a
law, as it is measure brought for.
ward by the government.

Ecleam Consumption Cure.

The greatest lung medicine ever
discovered. Overwhelming testimony
accompanies every bottle, proving it
to be the greatest medicine ever of
ferred to the public. AS an expec
torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs, colds. Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice fullness and
clearness of tone that cannot be at
tanned otherwise. The Eciegm is
purely vegetable, and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.
Price 80 cents.

Reports are somewhat contradictory

REPORTS are somewhat contradictory
in regard to the growing crop of
winter wheat. They all agree. how
ever, that the crop is about two weeks
later lin the winter wheat betty than
last year, and damaged to some ex-
tent. The reports of spring wheat
seeding, also agree generally. that the
average will be less than last year.
1t is also claimed that the English and
European harvest will be deficient to
IA considerable extent. All of which
amounts simply to conjectures.

SHOULD the United States Adopt -
system of Tariff for Revenue Onlya'
was the subject of recent debate be.
tween the representatives of the Hes-
perian and Adelphian literary socie-
lies of the State University. A re-
porter of the Milwaukee Sentinel AYERS
that the closing argument for the af'
firmative by A. W. Shelton, of River
Falls, s.was the most able of those
presented in the Affirmative and
gives the following synopsis of Mr..
Shelton's argument. HE argued that
protection creates monopolies by di-
minishing competition, and instances
the copper industries of the country,
which charge the American consum-
ers from so to 100 per cent. more than
the foreign consumer. Protection is
not a national policy. Tariffs are
passed with reference to private in
terests, and not the welfare of the
country. All protection speeches are
made in favor of some particular in
dustry. The pressure brought to bear
upon Congress to secure the passage
of tariffs. corrupts Congress. Con-
gressmen themselves are interested in
protected industries and hence protec-
ton is self-bribery. Protection de-
creases the wealth of the country and
divides that wealth unjustly among
the people, and to effect this division,
corrupts the National Government.

The Legislature of Wisconsin passed
bill during its last session, making it
illegal to employ children under four
teen years of age in factories This
act threw 1900 children oat of facto-
ries in and around Milwaukee alone
These children will now be obliged to
attend school. 1t may look cruel to
some TO force these children, who may
to certain extent help support a
family, but to them and the country
at large it is benefit beyond estima-
ton. To put children of tender years
in the factories and workshops is to
raise up race of drudges, nobodies,
perhaps; owing to ignorance they may
become dangerous persons and large
number of them would: their minds
cramped and their strength stunted by
confinement at labor when they should
be growing mentally and physically
for their own good and the good of the
state, of what benefit is such racei
asks an exchange. As a rule the par
ents who put their young children out
to work and take the few dimes they
may earn during the week, are lazy
and protiigates. who. blinded by their
own selfishness, have no other ambi-
ton in life than to live off of the toll
of others even though 1t is the work
of a child. Every child in the coun-
try should be compelled to attend
school until IA years of age. II Their
parents are too poor to do this. hlen
the public should. Every state should
pass and enforce compulsory 'sduca.
tional law.
