SAUK CENTRE HERALD
A MEMORIAL.

At the annual meeting Of the State
Farmers Alliance, held at St. Paul
recently, the following memorial was
unanimously passed with instructions
that copy of it be sent to the members
of congress from this state, asking them
to have it read and, if possible, placed on
the records:
The Farmers Alliance of the state of
Minnesota, hereby request and urge your
honorable bodies that you appropriate
such sums of money as may be necessary
to enlarge the Salute Ste. Marie canal so
that vessels from the ocean can load with
produce at Duluth and convey it directly
to Europe, free from the exactions Of rail-
roads of the United States, which are
now so grievously depressing the agricul-
tural population of the country.
It is signed by E. H. Atwood, presi-
dent, and Eric Olson, secretary, of the
State Alliance. Mr.. Atwood mailed a
copy of the resolution to Senator Davis
and Hon. Knute Nelson, in which he
urged its presentation. He also stated
in the letter that the alliance would soon
forward a resolution asking that the
interstate commerce law be maintained
and strengthened in the interest of the
people.

Hon. CHAUNcEY Nj. DEPEw is in Chica-
go. He declared the report that the
Union League club and other powerful
organization of New York were arrang-
ing to unite Upon ticket of Depew and
Harrison, was without foundation. He
said he was not candidate for presi-
dent. Mr.. Depew said that deadlock
might occur in the Republican conven-
ton and Blaine be nominated. His at
tention being called to recently pub
lished story that gigantic railroad
trust was being agitated, which contem-
plated placing all the principal roads be-
tween New York and Colorado in the
trust, with capitalization of $780,
OOO, 900, Mr.. Depew said there was moth
ing in it. Andrew Carnegie, who &C
companied Mr.. Depew here, in an inter-
view prophesied that all the great
trusts" would soon go to pieces.

THE stunning surprise of the Blaine
letter of declination has subsidized, and
the party is coolly and carefully discuss
ing the merits and dement's of possible
candidates. Gresham, Allison, Sherman,
Depew, Hawley and half score more,
are mentioned in connection with the
nomination, the friends of each being
confident that theirs is the strongest
candidate. One thing seems to be con-
ceded-the next candidate will be friend
of Mr.. Blaine, and that he will actively
engage in the canvass. That conceded
there is abundant promise to the party.
Gen. Sheridan, in a recent interview, has
premptorily declined to be considered a
possible candidate. The present indi-
cations are that Judge Gresham of Indi-
ana has the most concentrated strength,
although Senator Sherman is very strong
with his party.

The Sentinel did not make false state
ment as to what the HERALD flung out
in reference to Mr.. Nelson being of small
calibre, but quoted the exact words
which appeared in that paper, and here
they are, in reply to what the Sentinel
said about the HERALD booming A. Bar
to for congress, and that we thought he
(Barto) was "big enough to stand it,
and too big to 20 to congress-"
The Sentinel is correct to this extent
to such as prefer men of small calibre for
representative, Gov. Barto offers no at
tractions.-Sauk Centre Herald.
Now, will the HERALD please state
what it did mean, if we were not correct
in our Interpretation of the above? Did
the editor mean that any and all Others
who are or may be candidates for con.
gress, are of small calibre in comparison
to Mr.. Barto?-Sauk Rapids Sentinel.
The HERALD meant just what it said
in the above quotation. To declare that
Gov. Barto is of large caibre no more
intimates nor insinuates that other men
are of small calibre, than to say a GER
tain editor is deficient in perception is a
sweeping condemnation of the entire
editorial fraternity, See?

Jennie Deloney has made such a rec

required examinations in perspective.
She paints wonderfully well in oil
she possesses a rare genius for art

anything that she undertakes. Should

Perhaps no prettier wedding was
ever consummated than that which
took place Tuesday, September 25th,
at the Temple in this city, the con-
tracing parties being Miss Dora Pol
lock, only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Abe Pollock, and Mr., j. B. IIirsch,
of Newport. As the organ pealed
forth the wedding march the ushers,
followed by the groomsmen and
bridesmaids, passed down the aisles
of the church, followed by the bride
and groom. They formed in semi
circle at the altar, the bride and
groom standing in the center and
directly beneath a handsome bell,
composed of cream-colored roses,
which were suspended from the CEN
ter of a floral arch. At one end of
the arch was the letter p and at the
other the letter H. After the i'm
pressive ceremony was performed the
wedding party repaired with their
friends to Concordia hall, where they
were delightfully."- entertained by the
parents of the bride. A great va
riety of handsome and useful presents
were given the young couple, and
many were the heartfelt wishes ex-
pressed for their lifelong happiness.
They left for Newport, their future
home, on Wednesday, the 26th.

Bones for FertiIizing.

Bones may be reduced by dis
solving with sulphuric acid or boil
ing them in lye; also, in slower
way, by mixing them up when
broken in a heating compost of
horse manure, earth, ashes, etc.,
and to be kept moist with drainage
from the stable. Bones IN burning
lose the nitrogen they contain, but
as they are chiefly valued for their
phosphoric acid, which is mostly
retained III the ash, this is the cas-
