A recent Washington telegram
discloses the fact that the dlstillers
and whiskey spectators are again in
an anxious frame of mind. The Nc
Culloch unlawful optional extension
for seven months will end in July
and leave the whiskey men worse off
than at the beginning of the year.
1t is said that, as might have been
anticipated, the extension has not
helped the whiskey spectators, but
has rather injured them. Secretary
Manning, it is announced, will be
asked to give further extension, to
tide the whiskey men over till the
meeting of congress; and that when
congress meets there will be a renew
ed demand for three years extern
sion. In this scheme the distillers
and whiskey spectators should be
checkmated. Why should not the
dealers In -four, lumber, dry goods
and hardware also have a three
years. exemption from taxation as an
encouragement to their business by
the government? Their business is 8
public benefit that of the distillers
is opposed to the best interests Of
the people, and should be abolished
altogether.

Temperance.
BE HONEST WITH GOD.

No man can succeed who is not
honest with God, and true to the
deeper convictions Of, his own soul.
God and truth never measure out
duty by what others do or what is
convenient for us to do. Christ gives
us no privilege of going with the
many for the sake of company. 1t
requires no small degree of moral
bravery to pioneer any great reform !;
but the peace and strength which
come to every noble God-fearing
soul in doing what is right for
its own sake is of Incompatible
worth. The popular notion con-
corning the keeping of Sunday is SO
loose and indefinite, and no-Sabbath-
ism has 80 poisoned the public
conscience that it will cost the lead
ers in true Sabbath reform some
thing to break away from former
habits, and perhaps associations, for
the sake of keeping Gods Sabbath
and obeying his law. But one with
God is a majority, and he who
is true to what God demands is a
king among men. Now that the
truth has come to you, and you feel
God calling you to obey it, to honor
his law and hallow his Sabbath, we
beg you confer not with flesh and
blood, but obey, at once, the voice
of the spirit in your own heat. The
trial is half past when you determine,
with Gods help, to obey. He will
grant you support. and open paths
for your feet when you least expect
them. We know something Of the
struggle it costs to obey, and of the
SURPRISING satisfaction of being true
to ones deepest convictions of duty
Listen to no hattery of temptation
which promises you better place OF
more influence by continuing to dc
what your heart tells you not to do
Heed the voice of the Spirit in your
soul, and obey. Duties are ours ; re-
suits are Gods. Obedience is better
than sacrifice. The church is being
overwhelmed with the tide of no
Sabbathism and revelry. Gods law
is the only foundation on which thu
edifce can be rebuilt. Somebody
must lead in the work of recalling
the people of God to the law of God
You, my brother, are called to thi
work. Be true to youself and homes
with God, and his blessing will no
fail Won.

A New Orleans telegram TO the
Chicago Tribune says: "Some twen-
ty of the fifty-seven parishes of the
state abolished liquor selling more
than a year ago, with the most salts
factory results. One parish has had
an empty Jail for the last six months,
and the sheriff is using it as corn
crib. The parish of Natchitoches
reports her criminal expenses over
$4,000, OF it takes three times as
much to punish her criminals as it
does to educate her children. In the
adjoining parish of Rapids, where nc
liquor is sold, the matter is exactly
reversed there is three times as
much expended for schools as for
Jail and court costs. The absence
of liquor selling has its most notice
able effect upon the negro laborers.
Formerly they came out every year
in debt to the planters. This year
hundreds of them will wind up with
money in the bank. Still the aver
age plantation negro stubbornly re-
fuses to vote against granting llcen.
ces, holding that it is voting away
the rights Abe. Lincoln gave him."

The cry is continually made that
prohibition is failure. The statue
has made liquor selling crime, and
the Christian men have elected liquor
criminals to punish the crime of
liquor selling. Treat the prohibI-
ton law against stealing sheep in the
same manner and it will be a great
failure. Elect sheep thief for con-
stable, another for justice of the
peace, another for town clerk, an
other for judge of the court, another
for county clerk, another for sheriff,
another for district attorney, thus
putting sheep thieves on guard, en-
surfing for the sheep thief who was
caught in the act the privilege of be-
ing tried by jury of sheep stealing
peers, all Of whom had been engage ed
in the business and were daily dining
on stolen mutton, and see if the pro-
hibition against sheep stealing would
be any more efficient? A well known
sheep thief would not be drawn on a
jury to try any class of criminals
and yet well known violators of the
excise law are constantly drawn te
punish liquor criminals.

Naaman was in the highest station

given deliverance to Syria by him.
But after all ne was loathsome and
incurable leper. A little captive
maid from Israel waited on his wife
and said, sWoud to God my master
were with Elisha, the prophet of Is
rael, and he would recover him of
his leprosy." Naaman was wise
enough to think of it and consulted
his king, who sent him to the king
of Israel with letter of introduce
ton requesting him to heal him. The
king of ISRAEL was amazed and seek
ing his counselors, he rent his clothes
and said. cam I God to kill and
and make alive, that he should send
to me to save man from his lepro-
sy? He seeks quarrel with me.
Elisha hears the news and sends
word to the king, s'Wherefore hast
thou rent thy clothes? Send him to
me-" He appears with his chariot,
his servants and his prepared gifts
at the door of the prophet, who sends
message to him to 60 and dip sew
en- times in the river Jordan and he
should be healed. The great man is
taken down from the height of his
fancy. He expected a great cere-
monious display by the prophet, but
it is a seven-fold dipping by himself

says the humbled Naaman. He
went down and made the expert

LIVING FOR GOD.

"He who lives for God will find
himself irrresistibly impelled to the
best and widest service for his fell
low-men." He who lives for self how
ever carefully he may strive to
strengthen his position by maxims of
worldly prudence, or by unitarian
philosophy, fails ANONYMOUSLY of all
the highest ends of living. Reckon
from self as center, and your fell
low-men become your obnoxious RI
walls in the stern struggle for exist
ence and advancement.
Reckon from God as a center, and
your fellow-men become your broth
ers. They are infinitely worthy of
your loving interest, since one Fa-
Their has made all our spirits after his
image, and one Saviour has died to
redeem from sin and to restore to
Godlikeness all who will turf to him,
even the most debased. Thus reck-
oning from God as the center, the
law of loving service and self-abne-
CATION becomes the law of your life.
But | have duty toward myself,
say. Unquestionably! You will do
the best for yourself, intellectually
and morally, when you subjugate
self to the service of God, in the
service to your fclow-men. Thus
living, the feverish strain will he
taken ont of the hot, painting rival
ries of life. The success of all good
and true men will be your success.
The spirit of Him, who came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister,
possessing your souls, failure for
you will he impossible. The very
effort for others welfare and for the
defence of righteousness, which may
exhaust your vital powers, will as
sure your deathless victory-your
true success. For know well that
truth, of all fixed laws in the uni
verse the most unalterably fixed, is
the prevalence of that holy and un-
changing will that makes for right
eousness-no vague, blind tendency
in fortuitously evolving universe.
1t is the personal will of personal
God, whose eye is now, and will ev-
ermore be upon you as a person, who
claims from you the personal love of
your finite being, while he offers you
the sustaining, personal love Of his
infinite personality.-Pfesident Mer-
( rM e. Gates.

The DairE Department.

Superintendent Potter was on hand early
yesterday, giving the finishing touches to
the dairy building, assigning space, receiv-
ing entries and answering questions. By
this morning this department will be in good
shape, and visitors will be delighted with
the perfect arrangements and the fine. large
display of butter, cheese, dairy implements
and salt. Usually at fairs, but poor accom-
modatiOns have been providad for the ex-
hibitiOn Of butter and cheese, and as a rule,
after these articles have been on exhibition
for few days they deterioate in value, and
consequently owners of these articles have
been rather slow in showing their goods.
This objection has been overcome by the
managers of the state fair, who have pro-
vided in the dairy building a commodious
refrigerator where butter and cheese can be
displayed to good advantage, and at the
same time be kept in good condition. Every
butter-naker who exhibits at the fair will
appreciate this, and will know that their
goods will be well cared for Refrigeration
has become necessity for the preservation
OF butter, not only while it remains in the
creamery, but also while in transit to the
markets, and for this latter purpose trans
portation companies have been organized.
which guarantee to deliver the goods in the
most distant markets of our country in as
good condition as when received by them.
By this means Minnesota butter can be sent
to New York, Boston or elsewhere and
compete with that made within few miles
of those cities, and by the same means but
ter is sent to New Orleans and other South
ern cities, where it arrives in ex-
cellent shape. Through the in
strumentality of these refrigerator
companies it has become possible for the
farmer and the creamery man of Minnesota
to send his butter to any market he may Sc
lect. knowing that it will not be spoiled
while in transit. The refrigerator in the
dairy building is so arranged that visitors
can see the exhibits through the windows
without going inside. The temperature is
kept down to about 4Oo or perhaps lower,
which insures the safety of the butter.
THE ROLL OF HONOR.
On entering the dairy building one is con-
fronted with the roll of honor, which tells
of the magnificent achievement OF Mime
sofa at the Worlds Exposition at New Or
leans last winter. This roll is, or should be,
the pride of every citizen of the state. for it
was no small victory to win in competition
