THE esteemed editor OF the St Pau
Nears, formerly Of the Democratic GioJc
is not able to convince all the brethren
that his movements against GOV. Mer-
RAM are entirely the disnterested but
virtuous motives Of an independent jour.
nalist. Here, for instance, is the New
Ulm RerieaC limiting at unkindlv things,
as follows:
Twice a week the 81 Paul Nc,rs pub
fishes column OF clippings from the
state papers rejecting the sentiments OF
public? )opIniOn with regards to our next
governor. Here and there amongst
these will be found Kind words for our
present executive, but, like tine oasis OF
the desert, they are few and lar between.
Were it not that the governor knows the
cause of their attack he would probably
have fears for himself. But he under
stands the nature of their disease and no
doubt has the remedy if anv Is neces-
sarY.
1t does seem as though the NerS could
have done more forcible work by serv-
ing a longer probation.

The American Missionary Association
will hold its forty-third Annual Meet
ing in Chicago, H., Oct. 29-3I. The
sessions will be held in the New Eng
lang Congregational Church and will
commence at three O'Clock Tuesday af.
ternoon, Oct. 90. This missionary body
is natural organization and draws lie
rupport from Christian people in every
State and Territory in the Union. Its
missions are in the United States; in
the South among the negroes, ard
among the white people, especially OF
the mountain regions; IN the west
among the Indians; and in the Pacific
States among the Chinese.
It's object is to give true Christian
schools, colleges and churches to these
races at our own doors. In our country
three-fourths of the nations IllIteracv is
in the South. Forty per cent Of the
whole population of the south cannot
read. OF the 100000 Illiterate voters
in our country, 100000 are in the
south. In eight representative South
ern States, 800, 900 negro pupils are be-
ing trained by 1900 teachers Of the
same race.
Among more than 100000 mountain
whites in the south, in the heart Of our
country, one-half cannot read. This
Home Mission work is vast and increas-
ingly urgent.
The annual gatherings of this great
society are usually meetings of marked
interest and power. They bring repre-
sentative men from all parts Of the
country, and We are informed that the
Chicago meeting promises to be one Of
the most interesting ever held. AS the
work of this association takes hold OF
the foundation principles Of our Ameri-
can civilization, it commends itself to
the sympathy and endorsement of all

A NUMBER of the government organs at
Ottawa asset that the United States has
displayed hostility to reciprocal trade
with the Dominion, by megIecting TO in
vite Canada to send delegates to the in
ternational congress in Washington.
The true reason, however, WHY Cana
dian delegates were not asked is found
in letter from Senator John Sherman
to gentleman in Ottawa. The senator
says:
l think there is no doubt that the
presence of delegates from the Domin-
ion of Canada at the proposed confer
ence of American states would be very
acceptable and proper, but l do not see
how it could be done except with the
consent or appointment Of Great Britain.
Our government could NOT with due re-
spect to Great Britain, mold any formal
political relations with the dominion
government, necessary result of the
dependence of Canada upon Great Brit
ain, but which no douDI could be waived
by the parent government.

The English postmaster general has de-
cided to give trial TO a new automatic
distributor of stamps made on that prin-
ciple, and 400 are to be attached at once
20 the street letter boxes in different
parts of London. The machines have
two slots, which deal out pc my and half

being inserted, while the machinery Ii

the depa :tment by inserting other ar

thousands of people in large cities who
live remote from the postottices, anC

chances are that il is usually true, fol
bears are tough customers and provide
