A Move in Minnesota.

MIR. E. II. Atwood, Maine Prai-
rie, MINI, "was appointed a COM
mittee Of one to organize for the
purpose Of eIecting to the Legisla-
ture men pledged TO work for the
agricultural interest. He opened
correspondence with husbandmen
all over the county, local leaders
we're chosen who met in a Peoples
Convention in each district and
nominated smart, active, intelligent
and honest farmers :"
The old political rings, the whis-
| ky ring, railroads and millers' as
sociation, fought the farmers candi-
dates with money, whisky and lies,
but we elected two out OF three.
This Independent action was pro-
voked by aggressions of the money
power and monopolists, which have
become intolerable. A few of the
grievances are stated as follows:
The railroads will not furnish cars
TO any one to ship wheat in from
wagons. Will only ship wheat from
an elevator of at leaat $4,000 bush
els capacity. The farmer is obliged
to put his wheat into an elevator
and take just such . grade as the
agent is willing to give, and pay
him two and half cents for taking
it in and shipping it. All COMPETE
ton is driven away by discrimina-
tons in favor of the elevator. Nc
private individual can compete with
the elevator agent and buy wheat
At Minneapolis large part Of the
wheat raised in the northern part o.
the State is ground into -four, but
the difference in price between thai
city and stations sixty-fve miles
away is from fifteen to twenty-five
cents per bushel, and then the ele.
vators cut us down generally one

from New Yo9' to st. Paul.

A $40, 900 FUNERAL SERMON.
How Rev. DIR. Newman Carried
ON im a Church i'm
California.
Victoria Colonist.

At San Francisco, a few days
ago, the funeral services were con-
Quoted in an Episcopal Church over
the remains of Leland Stanford, Jr.,
sixteen-year-old son of Leland
Stanford, the railway king, who died
in Europe some months ago. The
services were held in Grace Church.
For two hours before the appointed
time boys passed about the streets
distributing a beautifully printed
programme of the service, very
much as circus dodgers are
thrown about the streets. The
floral decorations alone cost $780,
1000. Rev. Or. Newman, of New
York, preached the sermon. His
sermon was the most intense speci-
men of pulpit laudation that was
ever uttered. We quote
"Although SO young, he was tall
and graceful as some Apollo BelVi-
dere, with classic features some
masters would have chosen to chisel
in marble or cast in bronze; with
eyes soft and gentle as an angels,
yet dreamy as the visions of a seer !;
with broad, white forehead, home
of
A RADIANT SOUL.
He reminds us of the beautiful Jo-
seph, "a godly person and well ia
vored.' Think of him as rapt lis
tener to the mature conversations Of
such men as Sir Joseph Hooker,
Sir William Jenner, Baron Roth
child, DR.. Schlieman and General
di Cesnola, etc., asking or answer
ing questions. 1t was the repro
duction of Christ among the doctors
at the age of twelve. Our youth
should read his biography, which
will be more facinating than ro-
nance and more edifying than the
creations of the imagination. The
public school scholar and the col
lfege student would be entranced by
the epic of his life, and the Life OF
Leland Stanford, Jr.,' would be-
Icome as familiar as Fenelon's 'Tele-
machus' or Richmond's 'Dairyman's
Daughter His tomb will be the
shrine to which our youth will GO
as on sacred pilgrimage, and from
it they will gather grasses and flow
ers as mementoes of what he was to
them"
-Four columns of this gush did
Mr.. Newman pour out over o child
who in life never attracted special
notice. he was paid $4,000 fol
the mornings work.

APPROACHING EARTHQUAKES.

The earthquake shocks which
were felt recently over whole
area in Yorkshire reminds us (Home
News) that an authority on the SUBJ
ject of these phenomena, M. Delau-
ney, of Paris, is of opinion that next
year will see the recurrence of up
heavals of the earth's crust in an
intensified form. M. Delaney is
prophet of evil, but, unfortunately,
all his prophecies have hitherto
come true. His speciality is earth
quakes, and he predicts them only
too surely. In 1877, he announced
that the year would not conclude
without violent disturbance of the
earth, and as matter of fact the
frightful catastrophes on the coast
of South America followed. In 1888,
M. Delaney again pointed to APP
preaching earthquakes, and soon
after the volcanic eruptions in the
Indian Archipelago occurred, by
which thousands of human beings
lost their lives, and hundreds of
square miles of terra firma were en-
quilted by the sea. Towards the
end of last year M. Delaney once
more raised his warning voice, and
the earthquakes in Spain proved
how well-founded were his warn.
ings. Quite recently he has pro.
phesied very severe volcanic dis,
turbances for 1886. Having &C.
quired a well-merited notoriety il
foretelling earthquakes, some weight
ought to be attached to M. Delau
ney's utterances. He affirms tina
next year these natural phenomen;
will be of a very intense character
and that they will show themselve
either when the earth is under tn
influence of a planet of the frs
rank, such as Jupiter, or under tina
of group of asteroids, or at tim
when sun and moon are nearest t
our planet at the same time.

STATEMENT.

FlIE undersigned, Committee of Di-
Il rcctors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi-
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by In
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi-
dends and surrender value; are indis-
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of
stated period thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
| licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
| holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
| on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
| paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-EXperience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfcitable under the laws of the
State, If SO desired at the time the as
surance is effected.
Sth-The Tontinc system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-Ihe Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first hall
of the present year is $1,750,O 900 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O0O0,OO0; over $4,000
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

TRIPLES TURNED TO ACCOUNT.

Some women (says Embroidress
in the Queen), have a mania for
covering the walls of their sitting
rooms with trifling ornaments, and
the last idea is pattens, the verit-
able wooden pattens which country
women wear, and certainly find in
them the best protection to the feet
as far as damp is concerned. But
they are vastly transmogrified; the
wood is painted one color, the
leather another; they are fastened
with bright colored laces, and
flower pot put within the strap, after
they are hung against the wall. So
much that we have hitherto con-
sidered rubbish is now made thing
of beauty, whether of perpetual
beauty remains to be seen. A useful
cupboard may be made with an old
packing case set on end, fitted with
shelves, and curtain attached to
a small rod gathered across the
front. If you have any old cane
bottomed chairs which want re-
Gaming, you may make the seats
useful with thick colored wool Irvine.
Cutaway the old cane first, and thread
a long, stout darning needle with the
Irvine. Knot the ends, loop it through
the holes backwards and forwards,
crossways from side to side, right
and left, and every hole being filled,
work them back again, weaving as
you would for cloth, SO you must be
careful not to draw the threads very
tight for the first time over, or it is
more difficult to weave. Finally
press the pair of threads together.

LIFE VIEWED WITH DIFFERENT EYES,

"But week is long!" he said,
With toss of his curly head.
"Onc, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Seven whole days. Why, in six you
know
(You said it yourself-you told me so).
The great God up in heaven
Made all the earth and the seas and
skies,
The trees and the birds and the but
terflies,
How can wait for my seeds to grow"
"But month is so longl" he said
With droop of his boyish head.
"Hear Inc count--one, two, three, four
-Four whole weeks and three days more:
Thirty-one days, and each will creep
As the shadow crawls over yonder
steep;
Thrty-one nights and shall lie
Watching the stars climb up the sky
How can wait till month is o'crp"
"But year is so longN he said,
Uplifting his fair young head,
"All the seasons must come and go
Over the hills with footsteps slow
Autumn and winter, summer and
spring,
Oh, for a bridge of gold to fling
Over the chasm dark and wide,
That might cross to the other side,
Where she is waiting-my love, my
BRIDE"
"Ten years may be long!' he said,
Slowly raising his stately head.
"But there is much to win, there is much
to lose
A man must labor, Il man must choose,
And he must be strong to wait.
The years may be long. but who wonld
wear
The crown of honor. must do and
dare,
No time has he to toy with fate
Who would climb to manhood's high
estate.'
"Ah! life is not long he said,
Bowling his grand, white head.

TIAS on hand and for sale various
IL sized surf boats, constructed on
an improved principle of my own in.

lighter and less liable to bilge in, than
boats of any other build. Each side

stem to stern, and is consequently not
liable to strain there being no midship

COMMENTARIES.

The Ne1cs has undertaken to supplant
Story as commentator on the Constitu-
ton, but it succeeds very i'll so far. To
sustain its theory of privilegesit supposes
case last night 1t says, suppose
State should be- formed and admitted
into the Union which lcgalized plural
marriage" The trouble with this is that
it is all supposition, and supposes that
made legal which is now Il crime. A lit
tie further on the new commentary says:
Mormon plural marriage, rs we have
| shown, is an ecclesiastical matter. 1t
was not established by secular law, it did
| not ask the sanction of the secular law"
This is true, and the fact therein stated is
the very reason it could not become
privilege as contemplated by the Consti-
tuition. We cannot accept the Nelcs' the
ory as to what is true Democratic doc
trine, while we are compelled to recog-
nize the doctrine OF the Supreme Court
as to the power OF Congress to legislate
for the Territories, and this power is alb
soute, il Congress chooses to so make it.
That the regulation OF family relations
properly belongs to the local Legislature,
we admit; but the local Legislature has
been content to let the legal family be
the family OF the common law, and
which is, as the NeWs knows, upon the
monogamic system. The local Legisla-
ture never legalized polygamous mar
riages, because "it was none OF their
business" Congress, however, made
such marriages punishable, because il
was the business OF Congress. The Four
teenth Amendment does not apply, then,
to the privileges" of the Epistle and the
elite, does it? "How's your liver?"
