THE LATE Governor Perry, of Sonth Car

but when his State seeded, recognizing his
primal allegiance to her, he obeyed her call,
saying, however: "You fellows are all 60

And that was just the way hundreds CT
thousands of other people in the South who
gave true faith and allegiance to the Con-

them spoke, when they entered the Confed-

A great deal of alarm is felt when
cholera. smallpox, typhus fever, or
other epidemic diseases are prevalent.
Yet over large areas of our country
there are more people killed by
diseases of the respiratory organs
than by all the more active diseases
combined. Consumption destroys
more lives per thousand of the popu-
lation than any other one disease,
and pneumonia is next to it. The
former makes away with ninety-one
in thousand, and pneumonia sixty
three. CHASING together consump-
ton, pneumonia, heart-disease, and
bronchitis, the fatility of this group
of allied disorders is one hundred and
ninety-one in a thousand. Of course.
the proportion is much greater along
the sea coast, the river bottoms, and
In damp low-lying localities, while in
high dry regions, diseases of the
respiratory organs are infrequent.
Experiments are now under way to
test the virtues of rooms, the air in
which is manipulated to make it cor
respond to the conditions that exist
in mountainous regions-that is the
air is rarefed so there is less pressure
on the breathing apparatus. 1t is
believed that by sanitary and me.

this class of disorders will be alleyia.

The amounts given by the people in
various ways to build the railroads OF
this country are perfectly astonishing.
The Northern. Pacific road had land
grant of II, O0O, 900 acres, which at the
average price ut which our pnbilc
lands sell, would represent cash
value of $l6s, 100000. 1t Is said that
it cost but $75, OOO, 900 to complete the
road. In other words according to
the original grant the government of
the United States proposed to build
the road, give it to the company and
make it n present of 500, 900, 900 in the
bargain. An exchange remarks that
a great fortune can be made with
comparative ease when one has q
government like that of the United
States as a partner. The question
now arises, will the Northern Pacific
railroad be permitted by Congress OF
courts to steal this amount of wealth
from the people, when it is acknowl-
edged that the terms of the grant
were not complied with.--Western

Translated for the Mercantile and
Exchange Advocate, New York, from
LIE Moriteur des Inventions, Paris.
France: The manufacture ofartiticial
butter has increased considerably
everywhere. Unfortunately it is to
the detriment of both our stOmachs
and our purses, that this industry is
developed. The principal material
which was first selected for the pro-
duction of oleomargarine was purified
beef suet, afterwards hogs fat was
employed, but finding the suet and
the lard too dear, the manufacturers
substituted for them q mixture of oil
and stearine, favored to have the
taste of butter. At present this even
does not satisfy the spectators, and
they have commenced to mix "gela-
tine' into the butter, one part of
which absorbs about ten parts of
water to reduce it to the desired con-
sistency. From this new product,
these 'honest" butter manufacturers
OF the United States (for it is in that
country that this last composition
has been invented) hope to gain
fortunes quickly.

The eight-hour movement is any,
thing but popular with the employing
class. They say and with apparent
reason, that eight hours work for ten
hours pay is practically an addition
OF 25 per cent to the wages of labor.
If this was made universal in the
United States, it would SO add to the
cost of production in this country as
to put us to disadvantage with all
foreign nations. Our tariff will be
Intellectual in keeping out foreign
goods, We are already handicapped
by our extravaganty high tariff
charges, SO much so, that we. cannot
compete with the manufacturers of
Europe in the markets of the world.
Indeed, one of the most desirable re-
forms would be a liberalizing of our
tariffs SO as to make production
cheaper, not dear, in which case we
might send something abroad besides
our agricultural products. From De-
morest,s Monthly for July.

The lately promulgated rates of fire
insurance in Montevideo are such as
will compel many to do their own IN
surfing. Why cannot few towns in
western Minnesota join hands and
start mutual fire insurance COM
pany of their own under control of a
board of managers who will make
such reasonable rules and restrictions
as would best serve all parties con-
cerned, and furnish safe insurance at
or somewhere near its actual cost.
We believe the project is feasible
one and we also believe that such a
company could be made strong enough
to do efficient work at very little ex-
pense above the actual loss sustained.

One needs only to peruse the market
reports to learn the extent to which
the bogus butter business has grown.
Imitation creamery "butterine"
"oleomargarine", etc are regu-
larly quoted and at prices but little
lower than pure creamery butter.
Place proper legal restrictions upon
the manufacture of these fraudulent
articles and good butter will at once
be worth an additional ten cents per
pound and every COW in the land will
be enhanced $1,000 in value. IF there
is anything under the sun that both
needs and deserves governmental
protection it is good butter.

political party and any one who has
average judgment can fully under
stand what would be the certain re-
suit of such step. 1t has been ad-
vanced as an argument that the gov
ernor might veto the measures passed
for the relief of the farmers unless he
is a man elected upon the same prin-
cipies as the Legislature. This is
simply confession of the scheming
of this cohort of political tricksters
who are attempting to create Il gener-
al political movement. IT is also a
direct insult TO those men who have
been before the people as candidates
for this office. There is not u man
among those so far named who would
dare to do such an act.
1t would be not only
political suicide, but social ostracism.
All this scheming will be fully eX-
ploded before the time for reaction
comes, and those papers which are
the friends of the farmers and de-
termined to fight for their interests
should review this matter fully and
cause general understanding on the
Subject. -Sauk Centre Tribune.
