"1RANGE MARTYRDOM.

He Attempted to Restore a Dead
Boy to Life, But Was Himself
Slain.
London Standard.
India has just lost snake charmer,
one Kondajee Mubojee, who fell
martyr to his belief in his own powers.
A lad six years old, named Vittoo.
Heorree, was bitten by cobra at
Mazagon, Bombay, and, as usual,
snake charmer was at once sent
for. Kondajee arrived at the spot
in half an hour, but the boy was
already dead. The snake-charmer in
quired where the cobra had taken
refuge, and, on the wood-pile being
pointed out, he removed the wood, found
and seized the snake and endeavOred to
make it bite the boy, declaring if it did
so the child would at once be restored
to life. For two hours he perseve red,
but the snake refused to strike the
body, and at lest, irritated beyond en-
durance, turned and bit Konda-
jee in the hand. The snake
charmer calmly placed the snake
down. A vehicle was sent for and the
man placed inside, but by the time he
reached home he was dead. The story
teStifieS strongly to the belief of snake
charmers of India in their power over
the snakes, and to the existence of SUI
persttion that the second bite OF a
snake will restore the life that the first
has taken away. The apathy OF the
Hindoo is evident by the fact
that the snake charmer used no
effort whatever to save his own
life. Whether he thought that he
was proof against its i'll effects was not
stated in the evidence at the inquest
held OH the body of the child; but it is
clear that he had no belief in the vir-
tues of any antidote or mode of treat
ment. 1t is most probable that he was
confident in the powers of the drugs,
OintmentS or charms he had previously
used to protect him, for the evidence
of the spectators showed that upon
finding the snake in the woodpile he
had seized it without the slightest hest
tation. 1t is certainly singular that
man accustomed to handle snakes
should have been so convinced that
their bite had power to restore life as
well as to canse death.

Kane field in Mexican county,
and is thoroughly posted On oil
and gas matters. He said: "There
are as good indications of gas about st.
Paul as there were ten years ago about
Murraysville. The gas is bubbling up
from the bottom of the Mississippi there
in such quantity that at one place /
filled a 1O0-gallon oxygen gas bag in two
minutes. A great deal of gas is escap-

there is such thing as natural gas.
The only thing is to find it,"
Mr.. Clemenger is in the employ of the.
Northwestern Natural Gas, Oil and
Mining company. Last summer well
near st. Paul was sunk to $500 feet.
This spring the river covered the top of

fifty miles southwest of st. Paul, and
still another at Mankato, sixty miles
west of st. Paul. MIR. Clemenger is
sure some of them will reach the right
spot. In one well, between Minneapolis
and st. Paul, good showing of gas has
been found at 500 feet.
THAT'S not ALL" said Mr.. Clemenger.
81 firmly believe great gas territories
will be developed further west, and
that natural gas will be the fuel there.

of Dakota water well was drilled to
depth of $50 feet, when flow of gas
was discovered. 1t has pressure of
twenty-five pounds DOW. 1t must come
from an immense supply below. All
that is needed is little enterprise"

ChisagO County Names Him for
Governor and Denounces High
Taxes.
They have had lively time up in the
Chisago County Farmers alliance.
AT recent meeting held at North
Branch, the following spicy resolutions
were passed:
Resolved, That we declare it to be
the leading niicc..t0 and unanimous senti-
ment of the farmers on u,iiss alliance to
support none but tried and true IrI1iiiaass
to our cause in the coming campaign;
and,
Whereas, The Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly, above all others, has in the past
fully demonstrated his sincere devotion
and loyalty to our cause, we unani-
mOuSly declare him to be our first choice
for governor of the state of Minnesota:
and,
Resolved, That we most emphatically
and Indignantly protest against the
action of the executive committee of the
State Farmers alliance in indorsing AL
bert Schetfer for governor of the state,
and we hereby declare that said action
will have no binding effect on the men,
bers of this alliance; and
Whereas, The present tariff system Is
UNJUST 10 the many ana enrlchlng to the
few, oppressive to farming interests
and tending to the Capitalization of cap
ltal in the hands of few and overflow
ing the treasury with money when it is
not needed for any legitimate purposes
of the government, but is Withdrawn
from circulation and plays no part in
the business transactions of the people
and is a constant temptation and stand
ing inducement for schemes of plumber
and corrupt extravaganza; and
Whereas, The tariff as now applied
is higher on those commodities which
are necessary articles of consumption
to the poorer classes of citizens than
upon those articles which can only be
INDUCED in by the wealthy, be it
Resolved. That protective tariff is
club in the hands of organized wealth
with which to beat down and battle the
efforts of the people to restore the di-
vision of wealth.
Resolved, That the spectators in the
necessarIes of life be classed with other
gamblers.
Resolved, All articles of produce or
manufacture controlled by trusts syndi-
Gates or combinations be Immediately
placed on the free list.
Resolved, That the present tax ON
liquor and tobacco should be retained.

Grover and His Duty.
Times


Ex-senator Davis and the senate committee on
pensions view with alarm the inclination of
PRECEDENT Cleveland to investigate carefully
each private pension bill and to veto those
in which the facts show that no pension
should be granted. This the committee re-
garda an invasion of the functions of con-
gress. The weakness of the argument of the
committee lies in the fact that the constitu-
ton of the United States invests the presi-
dent with the power of which it complains.
and charges him with the duty of exercising
it. There is only one of two remedies open
to congress in the matter. The revocation OF
the veto power by a constitutional amend
ment or the abandonment of the practice of
passing private pension bills for everybody
who asks for one. The latter alternative
would be the most sensible, of course, but
sensible action is not always to be expected
from congress.

Sabin on Humans Nomination.


United States Senator D. NJ Sabin, of Min
nesota was regular attendant on the con-
vention. The senator is a fine-lookiug man,
but very busy one. 1t is stated that his
car works at saltwater employ so much of
his time there that he only attends the
United States senate about two weeks during
the entire session. Senator Sabin is, how
ever, a warm friend of Allen G. Thurman,
and while here he remarked to a friend
rather sadly: What pity it is that Thur
man insisted on being Democrat If he
had changed his politics when the war COM
menced he would have been elected presi-
dent by the Republican party. Of course
he's likely to be elected vice president now,
but think would rather be Republican
president than Democratic vice president
any time" And the distinguished-lo looking
senator wiped his brow with his perfumed
handker chief and heaved sigh of regret.

WARNER MInLER's SEARCH.

WARNER MILLER, of New York, who
who was one of the most conspicuous of
the Republican managers at the recent
convention, and who, by the way, is a
perfect representative of the monopo-
listic type, declares that he has been un
able to find Republican who does not
approve of the Republican nominees
and the Republican platform. This is
startlingly bold assertion.
1t does not argue well for Mr.. MIL
LER's powers of discernment, or else it
indicates disposition on the gentle
mans part to limit the field of his OBJ
servations to an exceedingly narrow
range. He has very evidently omitted
the West and Western Republicans en-
tirely from his search. Mr.. MILLER
will hardly deny that there are many
Republicans, tried and true, in Mime
sofa, for instance. Yet, without fear of
contradiction, we assert that, should Mr..
MILLER continue his search to this
state, the Republican he might find who
would approve the Republican platform
with its demand for high tariff taxes
would be the exception.
The most influential Republican jour
nails in the state, including the leader of
them all, our esteemed contemporary,
the Pioneer Press, have repudiated the
high tariff declarations of the platform
and have consistently, in response to the
demands of the people, advocated tariff
reduction. Numerous county conven-
tons and several congressional conven-
tions, composed exclusively of Repub-
licans, have spoken in precisely the
same vein. Against HARRISON and
MORTON personally the West has not a
word of censure. They are both estima-
BILE gentlemen, but with the principles
they must perforce represent Western
Republicans are not in sympathy any
more than are Western Democrats.
But perhaps Mr.. MILLER intended to
ignore the West and its opinions. The
Republican convention gave him an eX-
cellent precedent for such course of
procedure,

FOR CLEVELAND STILL.

The Mugwumps are Mugwumps still.
Harper's Weekly and the New York
Times, the acknowledged organ of the
Independent element who elected
CLEVELAND in 1884, are for CLEvE-
LAND now. They fail to see in what
respect HARRISON is better than
BLAINE, or why Republicans who
honestly favor revision of the tariff
should give Endorsement to the Chicago
platform by voting for the ticket nomi-
mated on that platform. On the other
hand, these most respectable and in
tluential independent newspapers con-
cede that President CLEVELAND has
been faithful to his civil service reform
promises and is making & brave, earnest
effort to reduce taxation.

THE MACHINE GRIP.

The political pot commenced to boil
early in Minnesota this year, and has
kept steadily at it. And with all its
boiling and bubbling we are never per-
mitted to lose sight of the fact that the
corporations never had firmer grip on
the Republican machine than they have
at this time. The two congressional
nominations that have been made are
illustrations in point. In the anti-mo-
nopoly Fifth district the railroads abso-
lutely dictated the nomination OF
CoMsToCK and forced to the wall every
candidate with anti-monopoly tenden-
cies. The same thing has been done in
the Third district. There is no stauncher
or more active Republican in that dis
trict than Capt. REED, and yet he
was defeated simply because he re-
fused to wear the corporation collar.
On the other hand, Senator HALL was
one of the most serviceable men the cor
pOratiOns ever had in the state legiSla-
ture. 1t is notorious that, while chair
man of one of the most important COM
mittees in the senate, he used his posi-
ton to delay and defeat all legislation
that tended to release the people from
the grasp of the wheat and railroad
rings, and his nomination for congress
in the Third district was bestowed upon
him as a reward for his services to the
corporations. 1t is fairly evident that
the corporations intend to pursue the
same aggressive policy in other districts,
and will probably succeed in debating
the Republican nominations in the re-
manning three districts. Nor will their
efforts stop there. The corporations
have such firm hold On the Republican
machine they are confident of their
power to control the Republican state
convention, and have already slated
their state ticket. 1t is presidential
year, and they rely on the fealty of the
Republican masses to their party to sub
nit to their high-handed exercise of the
machine power for the sake of harmony
in the party. Whether or not this conf
dence in the blind adhesion of the
masses to party organization is well
founded remains to be seen. But we
are mistaken in the virtue and intelli-
gence of the voters of this state if the
machine grip isn't relaxed at the polls
in November, and the machine itself
smashed into fragments.

true, is creditable to Mrs. Cleveland and hon
orable to her husband, and the Wisconsin

gain much added popularity thereby.

FIRST LOVE.

AS the first flowers of spring from earth's
bosom start
To meet the warm sun and the rain,
So is love slipping out Of the half-opened
heart
To greet the first sweetheart Or swain.
But fleet are the feet Of the year in the
spring,
And brief is the bloom of the flower;
Like the delicate dust on butterfiys wing
Is the charm OF loves earliest hour.
Oh /! first flowers of love that have bloomed
for day.
And the garden of life have made bright,
Though the future come Haunting in richer
array,
The heart will not thrill at the sight.
AS well from youths chalice second
draught drain,
With the foam and the sparkle above,
Or change to gem the cold ashes again,
AS to bring back the birthday of love!
