A Fair Trial

OF Hoods Sarsaparilla for serofula, salt rheum,
or any affection caused by impure blood, is suff-
cent to convince any one of the superior and
peculiar curative powers of this medicine The
following statement is right to the point:
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ul0us sore neck from the time she was % months
old till she became years of age. Jumps formed
in her neck, causing great annoyance. and two of
them, after growing to the size Of a pigeons egg
broke and discharged. One became a running
sore for more than three years. We thought we
would give Hoods Sarsaparilla thorough trial
We began with it in January, and in a few months,
after she had taken five bottles. all suppuration
had ceased. We then waited three months,
when, as new lump was beginning to form, we
again gave her Hoods Sarsaparilla: After she
had taken less than two bottles the lump and all
indications of scrofula had entirely disappeared,
and now she seems to be healthy child"

THE GEORGE THEORY.
A Vigorous Discussion Regarding
Ii mt Window Hall

There was 4 large audience at Win
dom hall last evening. when the resOlu-
ton THAT the single tax on land values
the Henry George theory--!s not Il
scientific solution of land monopoly or
its evils was discussed. Mr.. Mclean
presided, and introduced Frank Hos
kinS, of st. Paul, who opened
the discussion in the affirmative.
The present land law, he said, was
founded by man on the assumption that
the strong should rule the weak. This
view was carried out by the beasts of
the field. No trouble would ever have
arisen in the coal regions if no one had
been allowed TO own over certain
amount of land. Allowing one man to
own any amount of land is conducive to
fraud, and is direct drain Oh the land
business, as il takes so much to acquire
title. \ perfect land system would be
hard thing to put into prac-
tice. and il would be practically
impossible to find perfect law.
The speaker said that in his opinion
there should be a law creating stability
and security of title, and a perfect
method of keeping the records, which
should be simple, away from fraud.
Each person should be limited to so
much land. The easy system OF trans
ferring land in the Western states and
territories had convinced the speaker
that the system was nearly perfect.
The Henry George theory simply con-
tinues our present land system, as it
does not touch the question of title. In
closing his argument, the speaker said
that the basis of the new plan was that
no man should take rent.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Thomas Lucas opened for the mega
tive. The George theory was, he said,
that no man could really own foot of
land, as he never created any by hard
work. If man was given the right to
own limited amount of land he would
soon extend this limit. 1t was the cas-
lest thing in the world to get this limit
extended, and the speaker cited how
lumbermen had gained possession of
the pine forests through other men.
All that was necessary was
to get mortgage on it.
There is only one title to land, and that
is the ability to use it. Talk of allow
ing man TO own SO acres. He could
not use it. If he could he would have
more nerve than Ike Weir exhibits in
his prize fight. If the George theory
was in operation, there would be no use
for title as there is now. The personal
tax system was also wrong, as the
highest personal property tax paid in
this city was S3S, 900, when it was known
that one man alone had curtains OH his
windows which over 81 200 each. The
only way to do was to arrange things SO
that no man could afford to have 81, 600
curtains. Mr.. HoSkins replied at some
length, III which he slightly roasted the
honorable Thomas. He considered the
George theory a false one, he said. as it
allowed man to sell Or rent his title to
individuals. {. j. Buell., on the mega
tive, followed. He said he wished Mr..
HoskinS had read up the George theory
before attempting to say it was no good.

OUR GROWTH.
We Want to See Things Grow Too
Fast


Rev. Marion d. Shutter preached at
the Third Universalist church yester-
day afternoon on Growth" Following
are the closing paragraphs of the SER
mon:
Do not look too soon for fruit in your
self Oh in others. We are in too much
Of a hurry. We are impatient because
the harvest does not come at the heels
of springtime. Do not think much
about fruit. Let yourself grow and that
will take care Of itself. We have not to
do with results. We have to do with
duties. Labor faithfully to be honest
with Yourself; be generous and just to
others. Fill up life with every form of
ministry God may give. and never
excise, will Himself minister to you.
We are limited. Yet who knows
what capacities are wrapped up in the
bundle of rags you discern to be an out
cast? In this world there are multi
tudes who seem to have no chance.
Circumstances have drawn contracted
circle about them, beyond which they
cannot pass. The toe of gentility spurns
them, against them the lip of fastidious-
ness is curled. What heart throbs for
them? What hand is extended to help?
w Hat Oh Une1f futures! is there any OUT
look? Does ray of hope stream up
from beyond the horizon? Is our God
an almighty tyrant that He shall smite
and rend? That He shall visit with
eternal blight His own handiwOrk?
Somewhere the might of His love shall
conquer. at doth not yet appear what
we shall be-" No; nor does it yet APP
pear what the least developed specimen
of our race shall be. 1t doth not yet
appear what any dwarfed and SHINING
soul shall be, when freed from its
peculiar conformation of skull, when
freed from the grosSness of the
animal, when freed from ignorance and
blindness, it rises to higher conditions
a blot on the earth, it shall become a
star of the armament.
CareleSsly you pick up the acorn in
the forest and toss it aside. The poet
takes it and sees wOndrous possibilities.
Coming centuries unrOll before him.
He sees in the dim vista the majestic
oak; he hears the laughter of children
at play beneath its shade; he sees the
Wayfaring man repOsing under it's
shadow; leaning against its trunk, the
young man whispers his love; kneeling
upon its roots, the mOurner pOurs forth
her sorrow. All this and more the poet
sees as he holds in his hand the acorn
you have scOrned. All this and more
does the Eye of infinite love behold in
the souls we have given over to evil and
remanded to perdition. Fairer groWths
than we ever dreamed shall rise into
forms of majesty and beauty from these
unsightly germs.

IN RELIGION AND POLITICS
apparent Inconsistency May
Merely Show True Wisdom.

II. nj. Simmons preached on "Con-
the First Unitarian church, taking his
text the statement oft made in the
Bible, that "God repented' of some in
tended evil. He said these WORDS
charging God with such inconsistency,
seemed prOfane, and yet were in sen e
true. The God of nature seems ev,
repenting; for months curSing Mi. =
neSOta with frost, and then caresSing t
with flowers; making snow crystals al
winter, and then wiping them all out,
and making grain and Strawberries il
stead; destroying the foliage every fall,
and whole systems of flora and fauna
repeatedly through the geologic ages.
The God of human history has worked
in the same way; again and again de-
StrOying races and religions, and the
very customs and convictions OIL which
society seemed to rest.
But the inconsistency is only appar
ent. For beneath it we see consistent
progress, perfecting every year, and adj
vancing life through all the ages. So
in history, the downfall of old customs
and beliefs has always brought the
growth of better ones. The divine law
looks to the growth of humanity, and
orders everything which opposes that to
melt like snow in May, and everything
which has ceased to aid that growth to
fall like autumn leaves from the maple.
The seeming Inconsistencies are but the
shifting scenes in the divine drama of
human progress.
The true man will work in the same
way. and fear not to he inconsistent
with his own past in order to follow the
right. He will not hesitate to abandon
a political party, if justice points
the other way: just as Plutarch
says the Egyptian kings made their
judges swear to disObey the king if he
should order them to give an unjust
sentence. In illustration, the preacher
cited at considerable length the case of
Sir Robert Peel, who was born exactly
100 years ago this Sunday. and who. in
his work for humanity in England, "lOSt
party, but won natiOn," and last
ing place in history. He quoted Peers
saying, that Inconsistency is merely an
admission that l am wiser to-day than
yesterday" The wise man will be will
ing to be inconsistent with his yester-
days, for it is sign of growth. The
man who sees no mistakes last year has
made no advance since last year. So in
religion the true man will cast off old
creeds like WORKOUT clothes, when new
knowledge rendS them, or when an in
sincerity makes them rotten. Strict
honesty may make him a monochrome
iSt, and inconsistent with his parents
and with his whole past, but it is the
only way to be consistent with the truth,
to keep conformity with God.

REVEALS.
What Is More Needed Than Con
tinual Conversion?

At Calvary Baptist church yesterday
morning Rev. 6. l.. Morrill, preached an
interesting sermon on 'Revivals."
Christ's ministry, said he, though linz
tied to time and place, has present i'll
fluence which can only be measured by
celestial diameters. He who said to His
church, 'Lo, | am with you Away"
has by His spirit made rich and repeated
revelations of His Fathers glory, and
will till letters, art, science and COM
merce Grown Him Lord of Alp
Revival means ''awakening"-we have
religion? In day of devil diversion
what is more needed than continual
conversion? The brain and heart of
the world believe in revivals, not as the
flash of thought from one mind to an
other or flood of emotion from one heart
over many, but as divine energy
which i'll every age, place and church of
Christ has brought men from death to
life and led them in the way everlasting.
Men are sinners, and there is nothing
between them and eternal hell but the
blood of Christ, to preach culture and
acknowledgment is nonsense, to point
to cathedralS and be satisfied with smart
sermons and swelling music is to be
messenger without tidings, a well with
out water, q stumbling block to weak
believers, a comfort to infdels, JOY to
the devil and an Offense to God. "He
that winneth souls is WISE" To mod
eyn Jews and Greeks this is foolish
ness and stumbling block"-they for
get the weakness of God is stronger
than man," that mind cannot compre-
bend souls, and when it attempts to,
falls into the same error OF those who
at Pentecost told Peter he. was full of
new wine." Revival is fact and not
fancy and rests on the granite truth;
'the Lord knoweth them that are His,
but every man that nameth the name
of the Lord be careful to depart from
all iniquity."
In revivals some nave mistaken con-
victiOn for conversion and error and
eXaggerati0n have been found, but if
there is Judas there is also John; if
there is one counterfeit there are eleven

AN OLD FEUD
Settled by Duel With Gloves
Another Little Scrap.

Another Little Scrap.
Certain circles rejoicing in inside III
formation were yesterday discussing an
Interesting duel with the gloves which
took place in professional office on
Hennepin avenue, on Saturday night,
OF rather yesterday morning. The
place and names are kept a profound
secret and may never be divulged. The
principals, were baker and plumber.
and back of the glove contest
was an old grudge, believed to have
grown ont Of case Of jealousy. The
feud had been discussed very consid-
erably among few friends, and it was
finally agreed to fight it out and then
wipe out the account. About ten men
gathered ill., the Office and young man
who represents several Eastern sport
ing journals was selected as referee.
The contestants were of nearly equal
weight, about 140 pounds, and were we'll
up in the fistic art, the plumber being
the better sparrer and the baker having
the longer reach. Small hard gloves
were used, and at the call of time at it
they went, under Queensberry
rules. Eight ronnds were fought,
in which, without any decisive
advantage, both men were well pun
ISueu. Az TIC DtS illtlitS vi tllc Ill1Gll
round the plumber, who had shown
himself rather the better man, "tnrew
0ut' his arm and was unable to continue
the fight. A long parley followed, and
1t was finally agreed to call the match a
draw. The men shook hands and de-
cided to be friends and the party dis
persed, the injured man being driven to
doctor. One of the witnesses, says it
was, as far as it went, the best fight he
