Fergus Falls Journal: The bill for
the inspection Of cattle on the hoof
before killing Is attracting wide at
tention. It is direct blow at the
dressed beef industry Of Chicago, as
represented by Armour and his asso-
ciates. AS 1t Is now the beef Of all the
big cities is killed and shipped into
the state by these large butchers. It
has completely driven out the Mime
sofa beef, and 1t is stated that while
the price of cattle has dropped so per
cent. in the last few years, the price
Of dressed meat has kept up This
proposed law, under the gulse of pro-
tecting health, will necessitate all
cattle being killed in the state, so
that, if it does not serve to make q
market for Minnesota cattle, 1t will at
least make it possible to build up
great slaughtering interests in the
state

Short and Long Courtships.

Daisy Dandelion, Essex, Ct, Is per-
picked over the question Of short and
long courtships, and wants our adj
vice. Well, Daisy, it is hard to make
a rule to fit every case, but In general
we will say that long courtshlps are
not advisable. Many women, pale,
haggard, wan and wasted from long
continued uterine ailments, are forced
to Danish all thoughts of marriage.
Such unfortunate sufferers should
know that DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Pre-
scription is a positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain

Moorhead News: Senator Browns
bill, making railroad tickets and
mileage books good to any one who
holds them, has been referred to Q
special committee, consisting OF Sem
ators Gibson, Hall and Hixson. This
bill it seems to US should speedily be-
come law. We cannot understand
why a railroad company should insist
ON transporting only the person who
originally purchases mileage, except
for the object of avoiding carrying
anybody though the transportation
has been paid for. OF course it must
necessarily happen that where mile
age is confined to one person, such
Is prevented by sickness, death, or
other failure to use the mileage, and
so the company gains that much.

Free Text Books.

The state legislature of the state of
Maine has just passed law compelling
towns to, provide free school books for
the use of pupils in the public schools.
A law similar to the one advocated by
the TRIBUNE. The Maine law provides
that Clowns shall provide school books
for the use of the pupils in the public
schools, at the expense of said town;
and all money raised and appropriated
for that purpose shall be assessed like
other money; and school committees
shall make such rules and regulations
not repugnant to law, as they deem
proper, for the distribution and preser-
walton Of school books and appliances
furnished at the expense of the town"
The Maine Farmer in an editorial
article relative to the passage of the bill
says: lone of the biggest Hobbies or
gapized for years, came here to fight the
Stree text book" bill in its passage
through the legislature. 1t is not gen.
orally known perhaps that there is big
book syndicate, representing sec, 600, 900,
composed of Boston, New York and
Western firms, which practically con.
trolls the publication and prices of the
text books used in our public schools.
There are only very few publishing
firms which are outside of this ring,
and they have no effect upon the price
of our text books. That price is fixed
by the syndicate, and the prices that the
people of Maine have to pay for their
books are outrageously high. These
firms have the people by the throat.
They have combined against the Free
Text Books" bill, because experience
has proved that wherever adopted it
diminishes their sales from one-quarter
to one-half, and their profits one-third."
But they were beaten in their scheme
here, and the pupils in our schools,
whatever their circumstances may be,
will be provided with school books at
the expense of the several municipali-
ties. We have no doubt it will make a
saving to the people of the State of
$500, 900 annually"
The instruction of school is derived
in part from the text books, as we'll as
from the teacher, and we can see no
good reason why the towns should not
pay for the text books as well for the
salaries of the teachers.
