r During this time of unDrecef1ent

During this time of unprecedented
Irouth, the utmost care should be
taken to prevent all accidents by fire.
The late fires in cities in Washington
and Montana, might, perhaps, be laid
to incendiaries, and yet they are quite
apt to occur through carelessness.
Everything is now 50 intensely dry,
here as well as elsewhere, that a fire
once started, either in buildings or in
the grass on the prairies, is almost be-
yond the power Of man to subdue.
Therefore, all be extremely careful
how they use matches or fire, either III
buildings or fields. -Ex, 4s' I'll e. 81

CLEVELAND'S ANTI-TARIFF
MESSAGE,

Don NJ. Dickinson, who was post
master general during part of Presi-
dent Cleveland's term, INDUCES in
some interesting comments anent the
last Presidential election. He says:
"When Mr.. Cleveland proposed to
send out the message all the eminent
protection Democrats Of the East,
such men as Brice, German, Whitney
and others went to the President and
protest edagainst the message being
issued before the election. They told
him that his success was certain, and
these was no use of jeopardizing his
chances by promulgating the message.
He admitted that his reelection was
certain at that time; but to all these
arguments-and hundreds of them
we're presented by the most able men
of the party in private conferences
he maintained that if the message
was postponed the grand opportunity
Of a national campaign to educate
the people on the tariff question
would be lost. The session of Con-
gress, would come together with no
popular instruction on the subject.
The result would be timidity if not
half-hearted measures, and a postpcpe-
ment of any substantial advance for
four GA eight years. The Presidents
position was that he had no selfish
hess regarding his reelection and 50
he went forward to make the sacrifice
of himself for the principle Of his
party. He insisted against the pro-
tests Of political and personal friends,
that the proper result would follow
even if he sacrificed the Presidency.

PROPER SUBJECTS OF Ma.
TIONAL LEGISLATION.

Minneapolis Star: The Tribune
Star believes in a uniform marriage
law, u uniform divorce law, a uniform
collection laws for the people of this
great country. Under the influences
Of the principles settled by the great
civil war, we are rapidly becoming
a homogeneous people. The vision of
no man of intelligence and public
spirit is now limited by state boundary
lines. Every man is supposed to take
a proper pride in the development of
his own state, as he does in his city,
his village, his farm, his residence
and his immediate neighborhood, but
his chief boast is that he is a citizen
Of the great republic and is sheltered
by a common flag. The rapidity of
INSTRUMENTATION now by rail and
telegraph makes dwellers in far diff
ferent section virtually neighbors.
The business relations Of residents Of
different are often as intimate as those
Of jewellers in the same state or city.
If the laws governing contracts and
all business transactions were uni
form, everybody can see how it would
facilitate transactions; diminish
litigation and smoth the rough path.
ways of social and business life.
The law of contracts. embracing
marriage, divorce, credits, collections,
and the adjustment of all affairsof in
solvent debtors, is d proper subject
for national legislation. The relations
growing out Of snch contracts or their
dissolution affect intimately the whole
body of the people, and affect them
for the most part uniformly. Their
regulation should, the fore, be uniform.
II properly adjusted by national
legislation, little would be left for
that state or municipal governments
except police regulations, the conduct
Of local and state Improvement, the
protection Of person and property and
the punishment Of crime. This would
be proper adjustment Of national
and municipal functions.

WITHIN SIX DAYS. I

From the Pioneer Press
An astonishingly fast trip was made
by the City Of Paris last week across
the Atlantic. She beat the record by
arriving off Sandy Hook in 5 days 10
hours and 18 minutes from Queen
town, distance of 2,7S8 miles. This
same steamer has made the trip east
ward in 5 days 10 hours and .38
minutes, In this last trip to New
York the city of Paris did not work
her engines to their utmost capacity,
and she will probably beat even this
last wonderful run, provided the en-
gineers are able to keep up under
the severe tension Of their own nerves,
for under such tremendous pressure.
far above the average, the most care
tul watchfulness Of machinery, furn-
aces, stokers, is positively essential.
Such continuous strain on machinery
is very exacting, and any weak point
is liable to be developed at any NOM
ent. Instead Of thanking the captain
of one of these 'grcyhounds' for a
fleet passage and a safe one, the
engineer: ought to be especially
thanked by the passengers, for with
out their skill and painfully minute
supervision the voyage might have
ended in disaster. Such tremendous
running as the "Gty Of Paris makes
| across the ocean is magnificent. 1t
is not many years since twelve or
| tEirteendays was thought to be the
limit to which ocean passage could be
| reduced. We cross within six days
now and no body is satisfied. "Beat
the record? is the cry. And it
| doubtless will be beaten.

Cost of Running Saloons In Duluth,

was talking to business man who had been
figuring on the cost Of running saloons in Duluth
per yenr. His figures are startling. 'Well take
80 as the number Of saloons; it's about right.
There's $4,000 year for license. Then the 80
average $50 month rent. There is $500 a
month or So ,6ooa year and that's very low.
Now, the help Of each will average 81 200 q year
that's se6, 600; gas and electric light will average
SIS month each, that's s14 400; fuel will cost at
least 1000 more. So 1t costs to run the saloons
of Duluth alone nearly 100000 a year. When
one figures that the profits are large, he can get
some idea of the vast sum spent yearly for drink
in this city."-Duluth Herald.
