r. Bindind With Straw.

Early last spring the Illinois State
Grange, through it's executive COM
mittee, and seeking relief from the
extortion of the twine-trust, offered
ten thousand dollars for successful
and practical machine, or attach
ments, to bind grain with straw.
For the information of the general
public, the following report is sub
mitted:
We have received applications from
persons wishing to compete for this
prize from every state and territory
in the Union, also from Canada and
Scotland. The committee met Aug.
20, and for three days carefully look
ed and minutely examined the models,
drawings and specifications then sub
mitted by 40 inventors many OF the
models showing much thought and
inventive genius. July s, had been
intended as a day of field trial of
binders, under this offer, but
at that time not q single machine
was ready for field work, and only
one working model Of full size. How
ever, as letters and applications con-
tinued to arrive daily on this import
ant invention, the August meeting
was adjourned without action, and a
final meeting was held October 20
and 30, when the committee decided
that the full sized model above men
toned, filed the bill under the offer,
and accordingly rendered the ten
thousand dollars. The inventor
however declined to deed his straw
binder device to the state Grange for
this amonnt of money, having had
much larger offers for his machine
and it's patents. We have seen this
machine bind grain, and it does the
work much finer and better than can
be done with straw bands by hand.
1t has an extra attachment for short
straw or grain, that can be set in
motion by the foot OF the driver.
This binder seems perfect in all its
parts, more simple, and easier to
operate than the twine-binder. The

This Will Apply To All Game Laws.

MS VIII Apply O All Oame Laws.
Mechanicsburg, o., News: Why
do not the farmers rise up as one
man and demand that the quail law,
which grants a permit to kill this
bird between certain days shall be
absolutely repealed, and that in it's
place a new law shall be enacted
making it a msdemeanor to hunt on
the premises Of another at any time
in the year? What would be thought
of law giving the public a ight to
take a farmers grain, or his fruit,
or his grass, or his timber, at a
specified season each year? If quails
are not technically the property of
the owner of the farm on which they
are reared they should be recog-
nized as such by the state. Weshould
not interfere in any unwarranted
manner with the pleasure of the
sportsman, but certainly there is no
reason in common sense or common
Justice why he should have leave, at
stated times OF the year, even by
tacit consent of the legislature, to
roam at will over the premises of
others, shooting and slashing away
without regard for the farmers or
their wishes.

CrOOkstOn Times:

CrOOkstOn lines:
In his speech, in this city, during
the time he was a candidate for con-
gress, Mr.. Comstock announced that
he was tariff reformer. Yet the
first thing he did after going to
Washington was to attach himself to
the tail of the high protection kite.
He was of the first and most persis-
tent supporters OF Reed, the high
priest of the Pennsylvania idea OF
protection. 1t is safe to say that at
least three-fourths of Mr.. Comstock's s
constituents are anxious to see a Judi
cious reduction OF the existing tar
iff duties, and any action Of his
tending to perpetuate the present
high tariff laws is the direct violation
of his pledges to the people OF this
district.

The KNIGHTS OF Labor.

Resolved, That 1t is our !udg-
ment that the next census of the
United States should show what
proportion Of the people OF the
country occupy their own homes
and farms; what proportion have
their property free from debt,
and OF the homes and farms un-
mortgaged, what percentage of
the value is SO mortgaged.
Resolved, That the secretary,
treasurer be, and he is hereby
instructed to transmit a COPY of
these resolutions to the president
of the United States and the
Hon. John W. Mobiles, Secretary
OF the Interior, Washington, D. c.
Resolved, That all local assem-
blies be urged to at once adopt
resolutions requesting Congress-
men from their respective districts
to use their influence to have
these facts collected and pub
lished.
The above resolutions were
passed at the recent General
Assembly OF the Knights OF La
Dor. They show quite conclu-
sively that the idea is becoming
general throughout the country
that Superintendent Porter will
not include mortgage indebted
ness in the next census report.
Mr.. Porter is quoted as having
said that the collection Of this
information would require a sum
equal to the entire amount appro-
priated for census purpose.
The amount was $6,OOO,OOO.
Carroll D. Wright estimated the
expense at $25O,OOO. 1t may
cost a trife more than Mr..
Wright's estimate, but it certainly
can not cost the amount given
by Mr.. Porter. The fact is the
money power has notified the
administration not to include
this information in the census,
and the chances are a million to
one that it will not be done. They
dare not place before the people
Of this country a true statement
OF their condition. They dare
not let the truth be known, for
the moment it is trouble will be-
gin for a large number OF our
supposed statesmen. Asitis moth
ing can be done but to petition
and pass resolutions asking Con
gress to have this Indebtedness
taken if not done, remember the
fact when called upon to vote the
next Unconstitutional Economist
More and at once!

Biiou Hills Times q:


By it's grant of land to the rail-
road corporations, the United States
has more than built all the railroads
of this country. This seems a big
statement, but it is nevertheless a
fact. To money-glutted capitalists
the government has given untold
millions, while the people have been
cheated out of these lands which, by
the policy of our government, rightly
belonged to them.

NV. Observation-Disclosures:

Nv. Railroader-R Robinson):
The outlook for Railroads in North
Dakota is not very hopeful. The
Farmers Alliance is not only more
powerful, relatively, in North Dakota
than in any part OF the country, but
it seems to be more entirely under
the control of the professional
demagogue and anti-monopolist.
Some OF the anti-railroad bills which
will be introduced at the present
session of the legislature are likely to
be curiosities Of grangerism; and the
prospects for having one OF the most
thoroughly political commissions
having the widest power in the coun-
try are excellent.

struction, yet does not take up more

The Lansing Mich Sentinel re-
ports the following:

The Redwood Gazette's objection
to Mr.. Donnelly's late address to the
farmers Of Minnesota is that it "fnds
it an advertisement of Ignatius Don
nelly and his newspaper enterprise,
and filled with misinformation be-
Sides" There is not a grain of truth
in either of these assertions. The ad-
dress very properly contains an
endorsement of The Great West a
paper that is preaching the gospel of
deliverance to the farmers, is the
recognised mouthpiece of the Farm
ers' Alliance and is owned and con-
trolled exclusively by DR.. Fish, late
of the Central Minnesotian, of Glen
wood, in this state Now in regard
to the "misinformation'' contained
in the address, the Gazette would be
only doing it's duty in pointingit out
to it's readers if it believes in it's ex-
istence. The Sentinel has failed to
discover this "misinformation" and
would be pleased to have the Gazette
show it up. If the editor hasn't the

In Memory Of NANsll S. BRoylss)


Oh sweet as the flowers love twined for her
bier,
Was the dear one Death claimed for his own
And frail as those blossoms that wither and
die,
When DER them the north wind has blown.
So young, that her feet had pressed but the
path
That glows meath life's rosy Moonlight;
Her eyes had but seen its howery meads
With their perfume and tints SO bright.
So like tired child in slumber, she seemed,
As she lay in her dreamless sleep;
We felt, mid our gathering tears, she was
safe
Where the Shepherd His watch doth keep.
From the tumult of life with all its woes,
From its tempest so dark and dread,
Like bird seeking shelter, her soul
"Into Jesus, for refuge has fed"
think Of her, not as she lay cold and still
In her robe Of snowy white;
Nor vet in the casket beneath the mound
All covered with flowers bright.
But as one who hath passed the ''gates Of
pearl''
With love-lit peaceful brow
Whom Jesus hath touched with His healing
hand
My pure Angel-sister now.
And so DER our grief and our bitter tears,
Sweet faith bright vict'ry has won;
For our hearts, uplifting in love, can say
Our Father-"Thy will be done"
And tho in our sadness we touch life's harp
And its chords are minor strain,
The pathos will blend into joyous notes
That will thrill with sweetness again.
