Judge HGsesold sc id s another
lengthy communication to THE SrN
this week, which for lack of time
cannot be inserted in this issue. The
Judge sees many chances for our
farmer legislators to put to good
effect their friendship for the much
abused agrioulturist. In addition to
the change desired in the herd law he
thinks that considerable Improvement
Team be made in the estray law Of this
state. He says that 'sthe present law
has SO many crooks and turns that no
farmer is safe in taking up an estray
without first retaining the best
attorneys in the county And lie
proposes that u meeting of the farm
ers Of the district ~ be heldDonnelly
early in January to discuss these
matters with a view of presenting in
y clear manner to our representatives
some of the work they will be asked
to do in the legislature. We would
kindly suggest to our ''little Norwe-
gian" friend that as the district
meeting recently held at Herman was
called for this indentical purpose the
impracticability Of holding another
meeting SO soon is plain. However,
if special legis lation is needed for the
farmers of Stevens county their uni
ted request for any such will nj doubt
receive the requisite consideration
from thelaw- makers from this
district; and Il meeting of the farmers
of the county in this connection
m light not be undesirable.

SERVANTS. UNION.

The Kitchen Girls Of Melbourne Banded
Together In . Union.
There exists in Melbourne q Domes-
tic Servants Union. It has issued q
circular in which it says:
The members of this society wish il
to be thoroughly understood that they
have not banded together for the pur-
pose of. taking any arbitrary steps
against their employers, such as an agi-
tstion tor eight hours, or any thing of
that description, as will be seen from
the objects under which the union has
been formed-namely:
l. To unite together for mutual pro-
lection.
2. To give mutual support to its
members.
8. To endeavor to obtain q mitiga-
sion Of the difficulties under which we
1t present labor.
4. To establish a bureau for convcn.
fence and economy in obtaining en-
ployment-
5. To encourage and protect the legit-
innate interests OF aforesaid union, to
render assistance in cases OF oppres-
sion, and to endeavor to settle any dis
putes between employers and em-
ployes.
s. To establish home under the
management Of the union for the use
Of the members when out Of employ
ment
Z. To establish sick fund for mu-
tual assistance to ncmbers in time Of
sickness.
Our principal grievance Is the regis
try Offices, which, taking advantage Of
their monopoly, do not hesitate to cx-
tort to the full extent The union In
tend to abolish this evil By. the estab-
lishment Of bureau where all profits
will be used for the benefit Of members
namely: towards the maintenance Of
. home for members when out Of en-
ployment, where it is intended to COM

been fixed at Is. Cd, and the weekly

AMERICAN CHURCHES.
a Plea for Less Decorative Illusions 0n6'
More Solidity and Durability.

A Plea for Less Decorative Illusions Snd'
More soiidity and Durability.
However well-planncd our churches
are-and many of them are admirably
arranged and cxcellently planned
their interiors suffer by the same de-
fects as the external design. Reposc,
dignity and simplicity are rare quail
tiles. Gaudiness and over-decorat;on
are frequent, every inch of wall space-
being tornented with stencilcd orna-
mentation, often in loud and inhar-
monious colors The different parts
of the decoration ofttimes neutralize
each other, and give no rest or salts
faction to the eye. Sometimes, on the
other hand, these interiors are pain
fully bare and white, cold and dazzling
to the eye. To steer between these
two evils-to secure richness without
ostentation, or simplicity without bare
ness-is not easy, nor is it often done.
Fortunately. ambitious flights into the
domain of fgure-painting are rarely
attempted; for the failure is apt to be
deplorable and ludicrous.
Far less excusable, however, than
merely artistic faults, is the prevalence
of sham in the construction of our
churches. One would imagine that
here, at least, honesty and sobriety
should prevail. And yet there is no
class of buildings, except theaters.
where initial ons and shams are SO
general. Sanded wooden pinnacles on
stone spires and buttresses; sanded
wooden cornices and balustrades;
cheap pine pews anl wainscoting
painted and grained to simulate costly
woods; brick columns plastered to re-
semble stone, and lath and plaster
vaulting, pretending to be of masonry
these are all so common as-to be al
most matters of course. They are used
to produce a false impression of rich
ness and beauty, just as a vain woman
wears paste jewelry; and there is
little difference between. the two
motives. Does it never occur to
our churches that it is morally
wrong thus to pretend to wealth
aud resources that do not exist2 And
yet, did they but know it, the eye
gains far more satisfaction from a sim
pie, well-proportioned, honestly-built
interior, where all is solid and genuine.
than from q richly decorated interior,
where all is fraud of stucce and paint.
Their search after beauty is in the
wrong direction. since it ignores the
principle that the highest beauty in
architecture is based on good construc-
ton A great reform is here necessary;
the builders tricks and the decorators
illusions must be suppressed. Solidity,

The only capital tllat is made
against C. X. Davis in discussing him
rs candidate for United States SEN
ator, is that he believes in principles
of the Republican party on the tariff
issue. It is funny to hear the alleged
Republican tariff reformers of Mimi
esota denounce a republican of this
State who sbelieves in protective
tariff and yell themselves hoarse for
Blaine, who is Il pronounced protec-

You are right. Mr.. Transcript; and

s@Habitant," as one of many, discus
SEES in brief in this issue the desirable
lily of holding a farmers institute in
Morris, to which THE Sun says amen.
The immense value to the farming
community Of something of this kind
has heretofore often been spoken OF
by THE Sun. There has already been
held i'll Morris one successful farmers
institute, and there is no good reason
why the good work once started can
not be continued. A farmers club
was Organized in June, and a
few important meetings were held;
but harvest being at hand meetings
were then postponed, and have not
since been renewed. Through this club
tit being composed only of farmers)
could be readily learned the wishes OF
the farmers of the county as regards
a farmers institute. These club
meetings, if we'll attended and
properly conducted, are considered of
equal importance with farmers instr
tutes, and it was with this view that
the Stevens county club wasorganized
There are between now and the busy
setson Of 1887. several months during
which the farmers can without any
Inconvenience, proftably devote few
hours TO discussing, AM listening to
discussions Of. the timely topics on
agriculture. Therefore. If there are
others who think as "Habitant' does
let them start the ball rolling and keep
it moving until every farmer is awak-
ened to lively interest in this mat
ter; in which movement THE SCN
will gladly lend it's humble assistance.
Then and not until then will s.Habi-
tant' be able to learn whether a
farmers institute is in fact desired,or
whether it viii be of material benefit
TO the farmers Of the county.
