The executive committee of the Red
Rock park management have named
Jure IA as the date on which the camp
meeting would commence. The meet

committee appointed S. Sherin general
manager for the ensuing year. Bishops
Joyce and Newman have announced
their intention to be present.
The number of corporations fling ar
ticles of incorporation has been unusual
ly large for the past month. Herman
Stockenstrom, assistant secretary of the
state, says that the present run is unpre-
cedented. The number has not only
been large, but the corporations filing
articles have, as general rule, had large
capitals. Those OF 81 600, 600 capital and
upwards constitutes good share of the
number incorporated, and have not
been exceptional. The corporations have
ranged from debating socities IN the in
land towns to Railroads.&c. and loan associa-
tons of S., 000, 900 capital. The average
number for the past several weeks has
been four and five per day.
According to the annual exhibit of the
life insurance business in Minnesota, is-
sued by the state insurance department,
there are 81 companies in the state, car
rying insurance on the lives OF MInneso-
to people to the amount of $45.72l, 7l5.
At the end of the year 1887 there were
1869 policies in force, amounting to
38,669,7l5. OF this amount 1893 premi-
ums expired during 1888 by death, ma
turity, expiration, surrender and lapse.
These amounted to 3d. 7,175. In 1888
there were issued 9,O97 new policies, ag-
gregating $16, 4S9, 175, leaving in force to-
day 1908 policies, representing $45, ILL.,
us in insurance. The total amount paid
to the companies during 1888 was 81 $685.
6S9.24. The losses incurred were $780,
576 O3. The total amount paid by these
companies to the State, in the way of
taxes, is a very large sum and will prob
ably amount, this year, to $4,000 or
$l1S,000. The leading companies, like
the Equitable, Mutual and New York of
New York, the Etna of Hartford, and
the Northwestern of Milwaukee, pay
taxes of over Sc, 900 each.

THIS is REAL RETRENcEMENT

The joint finance committee of the
legislature has made it's long-looked for
report on the general appropriations
bill, and it will be source of gratifica-
ton to the tax payers to know that the
appallingly large amount of 81, 600
asked for has been cut down to about
$3.50, 900. Retrenchment and reform
have evidently been making stay In
the rooms of the two committees, and
the result is one which will be a credit
to the legislature if it adopts the joint
committees recommendations. The
knife has been used unsparingly. The
various hospitals for insane have been
cut down from an aggregate of about
S425, 900 to $50, 600; the soldiers home
from 500, 900 asked for, to $4,000; the
State university from $3.50, 600 to 500. 900;

THE Prison Mirror still survives and
comes to us every week with much IN
teresting matter regarding the Saltwater
prison. It's editor is not afraid to dis
cuss the convict labor question, and con-
siderable sound sense is evolved on that
subject. In its last issue the editor re-
marks:
We often hear 1t said that the Elmira
plan of reforming criminals tends rather
to make hypocrites, than honest, self-re-
speeding men. We have never seen a
specimen of the work turned out of the
Elmira reformatory, therefore we can
not say whether they are hypocrites or
not. Judging by the statistics of that in
|stitution, If it is hypocrisy they teach
the inmates, thew do the work so thor
oughly, that out of every one hundred
criminals that enter the place, over
eighty are discharged such consummate
hypocrites that ever afterwards they
hide their criminal instincts under the
cloak ofhonest, self-supporting industry.

ALTHOUGH it Is reported that Gen.
Lew Wallace will be re-appointed to his
old position of minister TO Turkey it is
not reasonable to suppose he desires the
place. A man who has written one
book which made him famous besides
bringing him more than $60, 900, and has
been offered $500 for another story,
certainly would have queer taste if he
wanted to give up his residence IN a
civilized country to live four wears in
out-of-the-way Turkey.

A REPORT from Columbus, Ohio, says
there is a movement among the Demo
cratic politicians to nominate Allen
Thurman for Governor. He is the only
son of Judge Allen G. Thurman. Yes,
that would be a fine scheme-for the
Republicans. The coal oil element of
Ohio Democrats have less love for young
Allen w. than they have for his dad"

Deafness Cant be Cured

by locai application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus Inning of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness in the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition Of the mucus surfaces.

THE Chicago papers are poking lots
of fun at the feeble work of the so-called
anti-beef trust convention just held at St.
Louis. And it is possible there is some
truth in this fling from the Inter Ocean:
In trying to administer consolation to
the Authorised Beef Convention, now
in session in st. Louis, the Republic says:
This syndicate has been attacked from
two standpoints: From that of gener-
al public and of the cattle breeders, it is
oppressive and odious because it is a
monopoly. From the standpoint of the
butchers, it is odious because it deals in
dressed beef" The principal cause in
the eyes of the st. Louis crowd is the
fact that the so called syndicate is loca-
ted in Chicago instead of the city at the
other end of the bridge.

to lay himself open to the charge of
farming the Offices for the benefit of his

Tyner's old position, while Third Assist

THE letter which we print to-day from

polygamy and mormonism in much OF
its responsiveness. 1t is a matter of as
constituent that such state of affairs
can exist IN this fair land without caus-
ing an upheaval of righteous indignation
from civilized people. But these out
laws have even been pressing their de-
mands to be given the rights of state
hood, thus seeking to exempt themselves
still farther from the reach of the law.
1t certainly seems about time that this
question was securing more attention
than It does,

CENTRAL PARK IN New York City is
considerable of an institution. The land
included in it cost Sc, $50, 1881, for which
7 per cent. bonds were issued. Its con-
struction cost over $40, 1000 900, and the
cost OF maintenance has run all the
way from $4OO, GOO to nearly one million
dollars yearly. The Central Park has
824 acres. There is an agitation for
some new parks and the newspapers are
arguing with great force that a spirit OF
niggardness should not stand in the way
of providing for them now when very
reasonable terms can be had. The new
parks have $40 acres, which will cost
but So, O0O,O 900, on per cent. bonds
They need comparatively little for main
tenance or construction. They are ma.
tural parks and could be opened to the
public on the LIST of May.

form. Mr.. Tichenor has been in the
employ of the Government since 1873 as
Special Agent of the Treasury Depart
ment, he has thoroughly investigated
the undervaluations abroad, and is more
familiar with the subject than any one
else in the service. The duties of his
new Office concern the Customs law, and
his promotion was not only earned, but
ia for the best interests of the Govern
ment. Secretary Windom's first act is
thoroughly businesslike, and promises
we'll for his administration.

There was large attendance at recent adjourned meeting at the Second Congre- gational church at Ware, Mass, as every one expected lively time and was not disappointed. The case of John H. Storrs, charged by the standing committee of the. church with leasing his business places for saloons, was up for hearing. Mir. Storrs was on hand and vigorously de- tended himself, totally denying the charges. He produced the leases of several build ings in which were clauses that no illegal business should be carried on in the build ings, and itemized the case of Hugh Ken nedy, in which he allowed $125 discount on the rent as an inducement to prevent the sale of liquor on the premises. MT. Storrs also said that he had been good member of the church for 30 years, had contributed largely to it's support, had sold the land on which the chapel now stands to the society for several hundred dollars less than he could have got from a rum-seller and paid $290 toward building the new chapel, had collected over $50, ,0OC pew rent for the society the past 10 years at only one-half of 1 per cent. joss to tho church. Mir. Storrs here held up bun de of documents in his hand and made slashing charges right and left against thu visiting committee and deacons of thu church, some of whom he could prove hat bought and drank beer in certain saloon
 while deacon had repaired beer-puml in order to facilitate the sale of beer a William Volk's saloon.
