The Minnesota Supreme Court has
filed decision as to the proper construc-
ton of the Constitutional amendments
adopted last fall providing for biennial
elections. The St. Paul Dispatch says
THE most significant feature of the deci-
sion is that which, contrary to the ex-
press intent of the Legislature in framing
and the people in ratifying the amend
ment. the terms of Office of State Auditor
and Clerk of Supreme Court, which would
otherwise expire in January, 1885, are
extended until January. 1887. 1t Is a
bonanza to the inc umbents of these posi-
tions, which they will duly appreciate,
whether the aspirants for the succession,
or the people generally appreciate it or
not" The remaining list of state officers
elected last fall, from Governor down,
also receive the benefit of one years ex-
tension Until January, 1887. As to our
list of local officers, the following are
affected: The term of office of County
Treasurer Case and County Superintend
ent Belden are each extended until the
first Monday in January, 1887. As Mr..
Cases term expired under the old law the
first Monday in March, 1886, lie gets only
a ten months extension but Mr.. Belden's
term expiring December 1st, 1885, he gets
the benefit of IS months extension. The
new law sh0rtens the term of Office OF
County Auditor Elms two months, as
under the old law, his term OF two years
does not expire until the first Monday in
March, while the new law makes the date
first Monday in January.

SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.
)ne Thousand Acres of Land and

hight Smart OF Bears"
On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
by sweep OF his arm the water the boat was
PaSsi' over. he said to u passenger from the
North: when was twelve years old killed
my first bear on new plantation my father
was then cutting out Of q forest that grew
directly over the waters Of this bend. That
was mighty good plantation, and there was
right smart Of bears there, too. But that one
thousand acres of land went into the Mlssis-
sippi years ago."
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to
say that great forests of youthful hope,
WOmanly beauty and manly strength are
swept in the same way every year into the
great turbid torrent of disease and death.
Yet it should not be so. That it's so is dis
grace as we'll as u loss. People are largely too
careless or too stupid to defend their own in
terests-the most precious of which is health.
That gone, all is gone. Disea ais simple, but
to recklessness or ignorance the simplest
things might as we'll be complex as PROPOSE

rivers. which so often flood the cities along
their shores, arise in a few mountain springs,

blood and a small group of disordered organs

Tor disease is Parker's Tonic. 1t goes to the
sources of pain and weakness. In response
to it's action, the liver. kidney, stomach and
heart begin their work afresh, and disease is
driven out. The Tonic is not, however, an
intOxicant, but cures desire for strong
drink. Have YOU dyspepsia, rheumatism. or
troubles which have refused to yield to other
