MINNEAPOLIS.
MINNEAPOLIS HOME RULE.

mINNEaH PULLS hOAL NJ liz
There are people in Minneapolis who
are disposed to look lightly upon the
issue of home rule in local self-govern-
ment. These same people will loudly
proclaim against the British system
which holds Ireland in bondage, and
VIII as loudly declaim III the right of
Dakota to home rule; yet they never
raise their voice in protest of system
which has taken its own government
away from Minneapolis. Those reform
ers who have been tearing the atmos-
phere with their denunciations OF mu-
nicipal extravaganza should remember
that the great increase of expense was
entirely due to the fact that aRepub-
lican legislature, without asking Mime
apOlis what it wanted. saddled upon US
five extra wards and a super-eXtTa po-
lice commission. with the attendant
expense. What has it cost the city?
a no less magnificent sum than quar-
ter of a million dollars. The following
figures show Just what additional bur
den a Republican secret commission,
headed by AID. Johnson, Gen. Nettle-
ton and a few other Teformers, through
a Republican legislature, has laid upon
Minneapolis.

 those interested in the scheme as the following:
 "The climate of Los Angeles and the surrounding towns exceeds in point of it's bxlmy benefcence any other sec ton of the universe. The vaunted eli mate of the Mediterranean shores of
 France and Italy is bleak and tempestu. ous compared with it, and the seasons of Madeira are semi-Arctic when
 brought in contact with our balmy skies and our delicious invigol ating
 air. The original location of the Gar den of Eden is unknown. There are many Biblical scholars who will not
 deny that the result of their researches leads to very grave doubts whether the valleys about Los Angeles may not
 have been the home of our common father and mother. The principal doubt arises from the fact that il
 Adam had actually lived in the Sar Fernando or San Gabriel valley he
 would have never risked expulsion by
 committing the great sin.'
 If Adam ever lived in that valley il
 is no wonder he struck for higher
 wages. The idea of carrying water
 two and three miles in buckets t(
 water his turnip patch fully exonerates
 him of committing that great sin"

SENATOR FRYE, of Maine, has begun his threatened attack on the presidents tariff message, which he declares to be
 what it really is not, an out-and-ou' free trade document. In support oi his theory MT. Frye quoted from Eng
 fish newspapers, the comments ol which are about as relevant to the is sue as would be a. quotation from tho Koran or the Book of Mormon. But the most amusing portion of the sena tors tirade was the charge that tho surplus in the treasury is the direct re suit of democratic incapacity; yet
 with strange inconsistency, he declared that the sad surplus was much to bt preferred to an empty treasury. As matter of course he finally settled down upon a demand for the abolition
 of all internal taxes, the usual shibbo leth of republicans who aim to conserve their beloved tariff scheme. It did not occur to Mr. Frye to state why tht Republicans, when in power, had never attempted to repeal the internal
 revenue laws, nor to explain whether Il in power now that party would be iE favor of demolishing the army oi federal office holders kept in place by such system of taxation.

THE SURPLUS.

While many are advocating navy improvements. fortifying our sea-coast cities and improving the great ruins of America, l, as an humble citizen. would, in a few words, call attention to the fact that there are over 500. 900 people idle in this country and why? Our cities are overcrOwded. It is the ambition of every American citizen to have home and s family. If our con gress would grant to each settler on the public domain a loan of $500, so as to enable tho settler 10 live and im- prove home, there would in five years from date be permanently settled 5OO,- 00o families, and at the end of five years on making proofs of settlement each settler could refund the $500 to the government before getting . deed to his claim. The government would lose nothing, open up the public lands, establish her people and relieve cities of their surplus population, and for ever settle the labor question. which will soon bring ruin on the American people. This course of legislation would relieve the pressure by degrees, and the national government bc for ever blessed in the fruit of her gener- ous actions to her people. 1 do not mean that all nationalities should share in this aid, but only American citizens.

TEXAS has as much territory as Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti- cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana combined, with some land to spare. Her territory could be cut into thirty-two States, each as large as Massachusetts. Her population equals the combined population of the nine States of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer mont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Florida
 Colorado, Nevada and Oregon. These States have eighteen votes in the sen ate. while Texas has only two.

PROMINENT eastern dailies are ac-
 cusing the U. s. senate of having de-
 sire to carry on its business in secret. To come down to plain facts there is
 much ground for this belief. The
 people want to know some things and the present senate is of the opinion
 that the people ought not to know anything. Riddleberger comes out for
 open sessions, especially while discuss ing treaties with foreign governments,
 and he is on the right track. Too much
 secresy will start cyclone, and don't YOU forget it.

0R- SKLpxN says that early rising.

DR. SELDEN says that early rising
 before the body has acquired sufficient rest-is one of the surest means by which insanity is acquired, and we think there is lots of solid truth and
 sense in the saying. Cold water thrown upon a sleeping boy at 5 o'clock in the morning is one of the sins our Puritan fathers will have to answer for at the great trial, if they have not already answered. It IS claimed by eminent medical scientists that he who gets plenty of sleep never died in the lunatic asylum.

Resolution nc of Respect

keeo1utions of Respect. At a meeting Of the "Gleancrs,' 5 Tuesday evening, February :, the fol- lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted:
 Whereas, It hath seemed fit for Our Father to take from us our beloved president, Mrs. Lizzie Prewett, as we bow in deep sorrow at our great loss, we praise Him for permitting her to abide with us as long as He did. Resolved, As a society we deeply de- plore the loss of her guiding hand, her wise counsel and her christian example. A more patient, lovely character it has never been our misfortune to lose. She | filled the beatitudes especially. Blessed are the Peacemakers She was like the oil on the troubled waters. We had in her the tr.e type of woman hood-smiling and patient always; a cheerful greeting to all, hearty welcome to the rich and the poor. Of selfishness there was none; the pure christian graces were united in the dear casket, her heart, and we feel twas good for us to have been with her so long.
 Resolved, That these feeble words cannot express or convey our respect, esteem and love for her memory; and that we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the husband of hor youth, the motherless children, the beloved of her life. the sad and widowed sister, and the brothers, the playmates of heI childhood, and to her numerous friends.
 Resolved, That copy of these reso. lutions be sent the bereaved family and that they be placed on the records of the Cleaners Society, and that they also be published in THE FORREST CITY TIMES.
