DEAR SIR:-The Minnesota Chief Sep
orator and Horse Power which we bought
of you in 1888, works to our entire salts
faction in every respect. We would
therefore recommend it to every one con-
templating buying Threshing Machine,
to buy no other than the above mention
ed machine, as we have had other ma
chimes on trial, such as the Springfield,
which our ten horses (neither horse
weighing less than 1900 pounds) we
could not get up speed enough to thresh
any kind of grain, while the Minnesota
Chief runs easy for the teams, threshes
more grain and cleans it better than any
other machine we know of.

THE old and well known case of the
towns of Manitowoc and Manitowoc
Rapids against the county has just been
decided in favor of the county. These
towns, it will be remembered, claimed
that the action of the commissioners APP
pointed by the circuit Judge in 1880 was
not binding on them. They took issue
with the county, and the circuit court
sustained them. Appeal was made and
decision rendered in favor of the county.
Subsequently they attempted to get an
Injunction prohibiting the county board
from imposing certain obligations, this
latter case was argued last winter and
decision sustaining the county was
rendered by Judge Gibson last Monday.

Queer Names for Streets.

The first odd thing that strikes a
visitor to Mexico is that every block
has different name. They do not
take the streets entire, but each
block is numbered and named by
itself and it is often the case that
there are several blocks of the same
named by itself and it is often the
case that there are several block Of
the same name in different parts of
the city. when the practice is to
call them San Francisco No. l, San

The names of the streets here
strike one with Il sort of awe, too,
for they were christened in the days
of religious fanaticism. Think OF
living on Jesus street ! Imagine
yourself telling a hackman to drive

The great strength of some writers
and speakers has been their COM

Carlyle, O'Connell and Bob Inger-
sol were all gifted in this line.
Wendell Philips had an off-hand
way of Safeguarding crowd that
was unrivaled. At a time when
abolition was unpopular in Boston
he would stand before an unfriend-

sheer force of abuse.
Once he addressed u crowd in the
following fashion: Hounds of the

"Kid gloycd mobocrats!" And then
for a photograph instantaneous they
got this: "Wcak sons of moderate

The GrIndstOne and Gan.

1t is an old saying among the |
farmers that there is no employ |
ment more trying than turning a |
grindstone or "minding gap"
The grindstone could have been in
troduced during the dark ages as an
instrument of torture. Turning the
crank is such miserable work that
the men, foregoing it with noble
resignation, compel boy to take it
in hand. When strong man with
blade appears the boys heart sinks.
He is told that grinding it will not
require II very long time, but he
knows better. 1t may be unconcious
strength, but it seems that the man
takes n special delight in bearing
unnecessarily hard on the stone. No
ties of affection are strong enough to
prevent this additional cruelty. The
boy wonders why Il man can be so
hcartlcss, but when he becomes a
man and when his boy turns the
crank, he bears ON the stone.

autumn when the corn is being

A INV Valuation Of Life.

remember upon one occasion
that Boyton was called upon by the
frantic cries for help of man who
had got beyond his depth and
plunged into the breakers, followed
by IL surf.Loat. The trcachcrous un-
dertow, setting strongly seward,
had caught the unfortunate swim
mer, and he was being rapidly car
ried out of the reach of assistance,
Boyton seized him just as he was
about to sink for the last time, and
had him hauled aboard the boat.
The man was utterly exhausted and
it was nearly an hour before he was
fully restored. He took off his
bathing suit, dressed himself and
then with rare magnanimity took
from his vest pocket n fifty cent
note (silver half dollars were not as
plentiful then as now and handed
it to Boyton saying;
Il owe you my life, sir, and |
hope you will call upon me when
ever you want II favor. Take this
money and treat yourself and your
assistants to Il good stiff drink. You
certainly must be chilled through"
Boyton is of Irish extraction and
as quick-witted as Philpot Curran.
81 think you have made a mis-
take" he said, "You put too much
value upon your life. Permit me to
give you your change" and before
the crestlallen miser knew what to
reply, Boyton had thrust into his
hand forty-nine cents i'll pennies

pocket. He has it to this day

Now that Cleveland is inaugurated
and democratic president again fills
the executive chair, there is no longer
heard the dismal notes of impending
disaster. True, the N. Y. Tribune oo-
casionally refers some railroad disaster
to the success of the democracy and is
often big with forebodings. But m ost
of the republican politicians confess by
their silence that the loud notes of alarm
we're buncombe. The election and in
auguration of democratic president was
essential to full restoration OF harmony
between the sections. So persistent was
tho howl that der,,oor~t;o suuvoo, Iu.ant
national destruction, that many simple
minded people believed there must be
some fire where there was so much
smoke.
Now the croakers ore silent. No fur
ther attention would be paid them and
they are more anxious to have their
prophecies forgotten than diligent in
protesting they are about to be fulfilled.
1t doesn't make much difference so far
as the sectional cry is concerned, wheth-
er Cleveland's administration is success
full or not; the idea that the union is in
danger will never again find lodgment
in peoples minds.

CLrvzLAEp's letter to tho .dyocsr,

CLRvRLAND's letter to tho advocates Of
silver coinage will cause some conster-
nation among silver men. He advocates
a suspension OF the coinage of silver so
as to prevent the inevitable result of its
continued coinage,-the withdrawal from
circulation of gold. There was fool
ish sentiment in the cry of the restora-
ton of 'the dollar of our daddies" and
an absurd anomaly in trying to make 3
less amount of silver, as represented by
the legal dollar, more valuable than the
greater amount, represented by the trade
dollar. No Legislative action can make
IS cents in silver the equivalent Of one
dollar in gold and time has demonstrated
what common sense clearly foresaw.
Aud still it won't do to discredit ono
of our own products. Why is 1t not wise
to fix the proportion Of silver which
shall make dollar, 80 q. to make it equal
in actual value to the gold dollar? The
frequent change in the relative value is
no argument against it as the difference
in value now is 30 great as to justify
complete change. Slight fluctuations
will not seriously affect the double stan
dard. A change made when the silver
dollar WAS restored 30 as to bring the
two standards on a level would have set
tied the matter up to the present at least,
and elimin ate factor of contention now,
