Late English papers contain an order
from the privy council which requires
every local authority in England, Wales
and Scotland to slaughter within
two days of the existence of the
disease becoming known to them
all swine affected with swine fever, and
all swine which have been in contact
with such affected swine, the compensa-
tion in the former case being fixed at
one-half the value of the animal and iD
the latter case at the full value.

The territory of Alaska is 50 far away
and in the popular i'm lgination is so
closely associated with polar bears and
everlasting SHOWS that, though !, is
part and parcel Of the United States of
America but little is known of it by
Americans. There are reasons now for
the belief that at no distant day Alaska
will be more familiar to the people under
whose protection it was placed by the
purchase of 1877, and it would not be
surprising if, in the development of its
undoubted mineral and timber resources,
it should become ere long au important
and influential State. The territory is
of vast extent, having more than 1900
miles of seacoast, and 50 varied is its
climate that, while portions of it are
almost uninhabitable, other sections are,
bv reason of the warm currents from the
Pacific ocean, made as salubrious as the
middle Southern States.

LOVE RULES rnn HALL AND COZ

You ask me "What is lover
Permit me two reply,
A dew.drop from above,
A sunbeam from the skyi
A thing of heavenly birth,
A germ of holy life
In every spot of earth
In human calm or stii'o.
A flower in every heart,
Its seed spontaneous springs;
Aroused by Cupids dart,
Or famed by angels wings,
The essence of hymn
Sung by heavenly choir;
But not a coxcomb's whim,
Or coquette's irail desire.
Like Persian lily white
'1is always pure and true;
A beacon in the night,
A star in skies of blue.
IT'S hope and faith and trust,
Affection, truth, and joy,
Not the red glare of lust,
Not passions base alloy.
A bud of native grace
in every human mind,
In every maiden's face
Or rugged or refined;
In every manly breast
1t reigns supremely bright,
And CLEANS upon the crest
OF every gallant knight.
Love guides us as we roam
Der all the ways of lie,
Seals holiest ties of home
The husband and the wife,
The parent and the child
Where'er he cast their lot,
In hamlet or in wild,
Love rules the hall and cot.

BITS OF OPINION.

John Lamb on abor-OrganiZatiOns have
always desired and advocated the substitu-
ton of FILTRATION for strike, and that en-
plOyers, as a rule. have refused to arbitrate
on the ground that they had n right to run
their own business as they saw fit. The
difficulty in this country is that the princi
pie of personal rights is being carried too
far as against the rights of society, few
men defended by law arrogating to them
selves the right to mjure whole communi-
ties. for the purpose of advancing their pri-
vate Increase.
Rev. j. l.. Scudder-Now as to the Sun
day newspaper, personally, would prefer
that it did not exist. 1t infringeS on the
pulpit. 1t gives the people SO much bright.
interesting matter that the minister who is
going to maintain his grip has got TO wake
up and put some life into his sermons.
| Some ministers are pretty lazy. and l be-
lieve indirectly that Sunday papers does
good even here. 1t undoubtedly has a
| tendency to keep some people away from
church, and that is bad. But such whole
sale and indiScrimnate condemnation as
was dealt out at the ministers meeting the
other morning is uncalled for and not bene-
! fetal i'm its results. did not like the way
| the meeting was conducted. l was opposed
| to making it a secret session. There were
some speeches made that would not have
been made had the public, through the re-
pOTterS, been listening.
Capt. j. c. Reno-I think the time Is not
| far distant when the echoes along the river
between Minneapolis and st. Paul will be
awakened by the merry toOt of the steam
boat whistle.
S. S. Small-When we get the system
arranged. which will be on Monday. the
motor trains will run with their Old-time,
clOck-like regularity. There is no doubt of
the success of the soda motor.
Ed a. Stevens-When the soda motor
has been pronounced a success there will
/ be a general change of front on the part of
those papers which opposed the line.
Thomas LowrY-We have not decided on
any plan for the library yet and shall not
for some days. Judge Koon will not return
for fortnight. We have found some eX-
cellent buildings and shall try To make the
| Minneapolis edifice second to none.

THE RICH OBSTRUCTIONIsTs
Call n Meeting 90 Protest Against
the Motor Line.

a ueGtthG tW
the Motor Line.
The handful of rich property who
have put themselves upon record In opposi-
ton to the motor line have called meet
ing for this evening at Harrison hall TO pro-
test against their bette noir. A paper has
been circulated very industriously citing
that 1.-THE undersigned invite all citizens
who object to the occupation of central
business and residence streets by the Min
neapOllS, Lyndale IL Mnnetonka Railway
company 10 meet In Harrison hall Saturday
evening, to protest against the further con-
tinuance of the steam motor" The leading
signers are L. S. Corser. 5. c. Gale, George
A. Bracket, L. j. Phelps. /. c. Seeley,
a. b. Nettleton and L. A. Harrison.
OF course, the meeting will come off, but
it Will have little public moment. The mo-
tor company is about to make test of the
soda motor, which it is confident will be
successful, in which event the public will
be satisfied. The leaders in this Harrison
hall movement are against the line itself
and would equally oppose steam, soda, cleo
trieity, cable or horses. The wealthy Re-
publican land owners are all rich and can
afford their fine teams and liveried coach
men. SO it matters not TO them how long or
how far the Eighth ward people may have
TO walk. They are opposed 10 rapid transit
along the present line of track. no matter
in what shape it may come. Very little
public sympathy will be their portion.

SCENES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Lines Upon which the Munic'

pal Battle Will Wage.
There seems to be but one explanation Oh
the long, loud and continuous wall gong
up from the Republicans on the license ana
patrol limits questions. They have made
war slogans of these two questions ana are
bowling them out at every Juncture as
though they were now pending before the
people for action. There can De but one
explanation. and that is that IN the near tu-
ture the Republicans expect to lose control
of the council. License and limits can be
dealt with by council alone, and why should
this howl go out unless some change IN the
constitution of the council is apparent? 1t
is evident the Democrats cannot control the
body after the next election, for should they
elect in every ward they will only number
twelve in the new council. Do the Repub-
leans, then, fear IA change of heart on the
part of some of their own members in coun-
ell that the change may be wrought With
out a Democratic majority?
The next mayor, whoever he may be, can
exert only moral influence on these CUES
tiOnS through council, as he can neither
make, amend nor alter them. Yet. in
spite of this the Republican press insists
on forcing them TO the ont as though they
were tine issues OF the campaign. 1t is
merely part of the insincerity which has
ever characterized them. 1t is a species OF
scare they are endeavoring to inllict upon
the straight-backed portion OF the COM
munity.
There is only one issue in the mayOralty
campaign, that of progressive. liberal adj
ministraton. Shall the city stagnate be-
meath the eighteenth century blue-law
moSsbackism OF cant and hypocrisy. or shall
it push forward under advanced, broad,
liberal and nineteenth century ideas? On
these the people will vote, on these the
Democracy will triumph.

REPORTED TO BRADSTREET'S.
The Strikes Having n Bad Effect on
RnsInaES

NEW YORK, March Especial tele-
grams TO Bradstreet's from the more i'm
portant business centers report the move
ment of general merchandise rather below
than above previous totals. At st. Louis
and in the Southwest the report of business
is at standstill, owing to the continued
interruption 10 traffic over the Gould South
western railways and the Texas Pacific
line. The number of strikes throughout
the country has increased beyond all prece-
dent, and the number of employees so idle
is reported as 81, 900 east of the Rocky
Mountains. In December, 1884, the
total, covering the same territory, was
about $4,000. Both the bituminOus
coal and textile strikes outran the South
western railroads. taken in point of num-
Der. Contrasted to the stagnation in trade
circles at St Louis. Chicago reports a
good business in almost all staple lines,
per cent. more than last year at a like
period in dry goods alone. But this report
is quite exceptional. At leading Eastern
cities business has been of moderate pro
portions only, though feeling of confidence
that an improvement will be felt in the near
future is frequently mentioned. Increased
caution in making contracts is noted on the
part of textile mill-Owners. At other cities
general trade is less active than had been
expected at this time, while at the North
west particularly more favorable reports are
made of the movement and outlook.

MATRIMONIAL AMENITIES.
Man Obtains n License TO Marry
a Former Wife.

Henry Ambrose yesterday applied to the
clerk of the district court for a license to
marry Eliza Ambrose. Objection was in
terposed by gentleman. who stated that
the parties had been once married and that
the woman had obtained divorce upon the
ground of cruelty; further. that she is in
sane, and that the marriage is used as a
means by Ambrose to obtain possession of
her property. The license was granted in
spite of the protest, the clerk saying he could
not take cogniZance of these statements.
The relatives of Mrs. Ambrose are very
much disconnected at this prospect. They
say that after the divorce Ambrose went Ia
Nebraska, and, returning on "Wednesday,
managed to induce Mrs. Ambrose to leave
her daughter, Mrs. Costa. at whose house
in East Minneapolis she was staying. The
daughter objected, but Ambrose enlisted
the services of Capt. McCraney of the East
Side Police station, who INFERRED in his be-
half. Steps will probably be taken to have
the matter investigated by the courts.
