THE ARTFUL DoDGER.

There is no man in public life more
expert in the art of lodging than SEN
ator ALLISON, of Iowa. He can blow
hot and cold with the same breath more
successfully than any politician be-
tween San Francisco and Boston. He
occupies position of national promi-
nence, and has for great many wears;
and yet there is not man in Iowa can
tell where he stands on any public issue
of Importance. Although the temper
ance and the railroad questions are the
two exciting issues in Iowa. no one has
ever been able to determine on which
of either Senator ALLISON stands. He
runs with the hare and chaSes with the
hounds just as occasion demands, yet
nobody ever takes account of it. In
the fierce contest over the guber-
Material nomination in the Des MoineS
convention, the other day, each candi-
date supposed that the ALLISON in
fiuence was in his favor; and yet, with
that consummate skill in lodging for
which he is noted, Mr.. ALLISON man.
aged to steer clear of all complications
and left each candidate to fight his own
battles. There is legislature to be
elected this fall, which will name Mr..
ALLIsON's successor; therefore he
had a personal interest in the out
come of the Des MONIES convention.
Still, there has nothing been said or
done that will commit ME-. ALLISON to
any policy. The issues that are most
popular in Iowa are not taking ones in
the East. Mr.. ALLISON is looking for
ward to presidential nomination; con-
sequentIy he is most careful not to be-
come mixed up in Iowa politics suffl-
GENTLY to injure his chances in the
next national convention. Still, it is I'M
portant that he should be sufficiently
identified with home affairs to keep him
a prominent figure before the people of
his own state until after the next sena-
torial election. 1t will be interesting to
watch his skillful political maneuvering
for the next few months.

BE CAREFUL.

Now that the game laws allow the
amateur hunters and sportsmen who
are not like Marshal NAGLE or DR..
CARVER in experiences with shooting
implements, to wander over the coun-
try, suggestion of caution worth con-
sidering is associated with the accident
to Judge KERR yesterday. Every
season there are many deplorable acct
dents resulting from carelessness and
inexperienee. Men and boys are started
with deadly weapons when they are
unfit to be trusted with even fire.
crackers. They shoot round recklessly
and can't always distinguish a tame
chicken from prairie bird, or calf
from deer. Eastern papers report
several casualties this season. Two
men shooting woodchucks in Pennsyl-
vania came near together in the woods,
and one mistook the crown-hat of the
other above the stump for game and put
a ball through the head of his fellow
sportsman. In the Adirondack forest
one hunter mistook the brown jacket of
a friend for deer and shot him dead.
Last season there were several equally
distressing casualties in this state and
Dakota. Too much caution cannot be
had,

TREE PLANTING

Some of the Sioux commissioners on
their return home speak of Dakota as
treeless region. Except in occasional
localities, there has been much less
progress made in rendering that de-
scription inapplicable than might have
been had if the people had not been too
busy in more immediate results. Now
that statehood and its more permanent
conditions are being entered upon, the
pleasing and useful arboreal advance
should be made. Illinois was in its
early days, away from its streams, about
as treeless as Dakota; now in every d.
rection the eye rests gratefully upon
extensive groves upon the prairies, and
the towns and villages are almost im-
bedded in the trees. No prosperous
farm is without its windbreak, and it is
likely to earn the name of the Forest
State. Dakota has perhaps fewer native
trees, and has some less favorable con-
ditions for tree growing, but the trees
will live and grow under proper care,
and the new states may yet rival any of
the elder ones in trees as well as cereals.

AN INSTANCE

1t isn't matter of much note, and
yet if the boot had been on the other
foot the Republican press would have
made great TODD about the treatment
JOHN YELDELL, the negro preacher,
received at the hands of a South Caro-
lima jury. YELDELL was arrested in
Pittsburg several weeks ago and taken
to Edgefeld, S. c., to be tried on a
charge of numbering white man. The
killing was done during political ex-
element five years ago. At the time of
his arrest the Republican papers were
loud in the assertion that YELDELL
could not get justice in South Carolina
on account of his color. Possibly they
were right about it. The judge who
presided at the trial was white man,
the twelve jurors were white, YELDELL
was both prosecuted and defended by
white lawyers, and while the evidence
was clear enough to connect him with
the crime. he was acquitted and is back
with his flock at Pittsburg. If he had
been white man he would probably
have been hung or sent to state prison.
The South Carolinians are getting
awfully squeamish over the race ques-
ton.

The fifth annual meeting of the Cen
trail Minnesota Fair association will be
held at st. Cloud the 18th, 10Th and Goth
of September, and promises to be the
best ever held by the association. st.
Cloud is the center of one of the finest
agricultural districts of the state. and
there is no reason why the farmers OF
Central Minnesota should not have
local pride in making their fair associa-
ton all eminent success. The fair will
also prove an attraction for visitors,
because, in addition to the fine agricult-
ural exhibits that will be made, the
town of st. Cloud is one of the most
delightful places in the world to visit.
1t is lovely little city, in the heart of
the famous park region, and in the
early fall season the city and the SUP
rounding country present an exception
ally attractive appearance.

ANExCITED PRoPHET.

DR.. TALMAGE is credited with the
statement in one of his recent deliver
les that "the Almighty will smite peo-
pie if they do not stop inventing ma
chinery to take work from poor people"
Possibly the doctor knows how far the
Almighty will allow inventions to go.
but he is fond of displaying special IA
miliarity with the supernal powers.
and this may have been uttered in that
sort of mood. The more machines there
are, the more work is discovered for
them, and more are needed to operate
them. When railroads were being in
troduced, it was insisted that they would
ruin the stage drivers and teamsters.
Work was had for more than were dis
placed. New industries were developed
and diffused. There is temporary con-
fusion by new applications of natural
powers, but in the run the world is
benefited by the machinery. Dr. Tall
MAGE was sensational and dramatic, but
not adding to the stock of valuable eco
nomic thought.

THE CHINESE.

The Chinese question never loses its
vitality in California. The decision of
the Washington authorities some little
time since, that Chinese residents of
the West Indies could be taken through
this country on their way to their ma
tive land, has stirred much antagonis-
tic feeling. The papers of all parties
there insist that this is not proper
construction of the exclusion act, and
is liable to lead to evasion of its main
purport. They insist that the law prohib-
its the introduction of Chinese laborers
under any circumstances; only tourists
or travellers being allowed. Further
legislative action will be insisted upon
in the next congress. There is embarrass-
ment in this matter. Chinese labor is
not wanted. but recent figures show
that China has foreign commerce of
s250.000,000. and this country may even
lose the not large portion it already has.
The question needs to be handled with
some prudence,

MODERN ENGLISH MIRACLE.
Remarkable Cure of Man Sick With

THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER

verted.

A London dispatch says: A sudden
recovery from serious illness has Gre
ated much amazement in Lewes, Eng
land. A little more than seven months
ago r. Rummery, of that town, was
taken i'll with chronic rheumatism and
hysteria, which seemed to affect every
nerve In his body. Prior to his illness
his sight had been bad, and now he be-
came totally blind in one eye, and grad
ually began to lose the power of vision
in the other. He was brought back
from Bath helpless invalid. For
month past he was utterly Frustrated
and never left his bed, nor could he
well raise his body therein without as
SiStance.
One day there came from London a
minister who sometimes breaches in the
chapel which the sick man was in the
habit of attending. He had known the
patient for some years. and was well
acquainted with all the circumstances of
his illness. He had it suggested to offer
special prayer. asking God to restore
the sick man to health.
Upon his arrival in Lewes small
party assembled in the chapel. and there
prayed that the Oliver of Life would
restore their brother to health once
more. The little party had belief in
the amending efficacy of the instructions
set forth in fourteenth and fifteenth
verses of the fifth chapter of st. James.
The minister and five Others proceeded
to the sick chamber.

him. Solemnly they anointed him by
pouring a few drops of oil on his head
and then laying their hands in turn
upon him.
Kneeling then by the bedside, prayer
was once more offered, when, within
ten minutes of the arrival of the party,
Mr.. Rummery, of his own accord, sat
up In bed, thing he had been unable
to do for weeks. He took from his
face the shade which for two months
had covered his eyes, and at once eX-

At first his fingers appeared dimly to

LOG ROLLING sQUELCHED.

The constitution submitted to the vote
of North Dakota is conceded to contain
many excellent provisions. One fran ed
by intelligent people, with the expert
ence of thirty-eight states before them,
would be likely to embody many of the
best features of that sort of political
charts, but whether the Dakota one is
free from fatal weights or not, is ques-
ton for the voters to determine. 1t IS
stated to contain the novel provision
that making up deal in the legislature
by swapping votes for the several meas
ures favored by members-JoNEs votes
for SMITHS bill in return for SMITHS
vote for JoNEs'-is punishable as bri-
berry. The novelty of the thing would
be increased by viewing it through the
glasses in which are seen the deal of the
constitutional convention in the matter
of the capital and state institutions. 1t
would look funny in that light.

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
The The excitement oc-
casioned by the Brown
Elixir Craze. Sequard elixir is more


casioned by the Brown
Elixir Craze. Sequard elixir is more
general throughout the
country than anything since the rage
for the pigs-in-clover puzzle. From the
present indications, one discovery is
likely to be about as important as the
other. It is noticeable fact that the
reputable physicians in this city. says
the New York Star, including such men
as DR.. II. P. LOOMS, have no faith i'll
the new medicine, although prepared to
give it fair trial.
When the alleged results of Dr.. Ham,
mond'S experiments were given few
days ago the Star warned the doctors
who followed in his footsteps that they
were handling an unknown force, and
that in justice to their subjects they
ought to proceed with the greatest care.
The results have justified cur warning
even sooner than might have been eX-
pected. In Philadelphia. where num-
Der of experiments were made, half a
dozen of the subjects have been taken
sick, and most of them refused to have
a second injection of the fluid. Other
physicians testify that unless the great
est care is taken diseases OF various
sorts are likely to be communicated by
the injection.
The next and probably the last stage
of this elixir craze will be when it falls
into the hands of the quacks. The wide
spread discussion as to this alleged
remedy will make it valuable nostrum
for charlatans, and they will soon be
prepared to give credulous people all
the elixir of life they want at dollar
hottie

NELSON COUNTY SUFFERERS.

Gently made to the st. Paul chamber of
commerce by the secretary of the Mel
son County Relief society warrants a
generous response to the appeal. 1t is
sparsely settled county away up in the
northeastern part of Dakota, and, owing
to the drought last spring and this sum-
mer, crops OF all kinds have been an al
most total failure. Last year the frost
killed the crops, and the county is now
in such financial distress as to be una
bic to extend help to the needy. At a
mass meeting of the citizens, held on
the 18th of last month. relief commit
tee was organized and an appeal made
for money ia purchase fuel and flour to
keep the needy from freezing and staly-
ing until another crop can be gathered.
The mercantile committee of the st.
Paul chamber of commerce have inveS-
tigated the matter, and recommend the
extension of aid to the Nelson county
sufferers. Secretary TALLMADGE is au-
thoriZed to receive and forward all con-
tributionS of money, fuel or food for this
most worthy object, and it is hoped that
our citizens will respond generously to
the appeal.
