Duluth News.
The one objection to the bill which
ought to influence the governor to veto
it is that it creates a MONOPOLY of sta
pie article of food, and is therefore di-
rectly opposed to public policy. There
is no allegation that the dressed beef
sent into the state by the Chicogo, Kan
saS City, Omaha and Sioux City con-
Germs is not good beef.-Duluth Herald.
Armed with the proper certificate,
Nh. Farmer might kill the dirtieSt and
most disreputable old hog ON the farm
and peddle its meat from door to door,
charging each customer the cost of in
Spection. Why such law, except, per-
haps, for cities of 5000 Inhabitants or
over? All the talk about the farmers
demanding an inspection law is pure
CANNON, begotten by Coles fertile

AS usual, it is the labOrer that must
suffer instead Of the millionaire. Profits
must not decline. The earnings of
capital are more important. thinks Mr..
Lowry, than the earnings of flesh and
blood. Doubtless the men would bet
ter SUCK 10 tNelr JOBS even at the re-
duced rates of pay, for thousands of
men out OF employment stand ready to
take their places. But what crying
injustice it is that poverty must always
yield to pelf.-Winona Herald.
The Lance suggests that the men ac-

pany. Every man then would be inter
ested in saving and working to make
the company show profit.-Free Lance.

A Plutocrat,s Code.

Ohio State journal.
With no more than $4,000 twenty
years ago John ID. Rockefeller has built
fortune of at least 100000 900. His
dividends amount to S500,000 a month,
OF SIG, $685. every day. Being a man of
simple tastes and small personal eX-
penditures. he is called upon to do con.
siderable thinking TO properly invest the
gold that flows night and day, year in
and year out, into his bursting treas
ury. He holds, to use a judicial ex-
preston, that so long as man is In
health it is his duty to accumulate
property. No matter if he has more
money than he knows what to do with,
he should remain i'll business
and get as much more as his ca
pacity and opportunities will permit.
But he should spend it wisely and
for the benefit of those who are in need
of it. He should build churches, edu-
cate young men for the ministry and
rear colleges. Moreover, he should be
a friend to the poor, but in no case
should he retire on a fortune, no matter
how magnificent, as long as he is in
health, and thus permit some other
man to take the place God intended him
to occupy.
Such. in brief, is the moral and tinan-
cial code of one of the richest men In
the world

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.

Some enterprising paper has inter-
viewed great number of Democrats of
the two houses of congress, who were
enjoying seeing the procession crowd
ing up for their soup, as to whether the
possession of the patronage is an adj
vantage to party. There was re-
markable unanimity of opinion in favor
of the negative. One or two were able
to suggest rare contingencies in which
it helped out, but the experience and
observation of all was, that party was
better off without the offices. This was
phil OsOphical from their present rela-
ton to the official pasturage, but it is
good philosophy in the run of things.
There is no office worth anything that
has not good many applicants, and
the disappointed will vastly outnumber
the rewarded. The insiders have little
incentive to special activity as they ex-
pect to go out at the end of their terms,
and the others will be more or less dis
affected. This is good view for Dem
ocrats, particularly now.

THE INDIAN POLICY.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat is the
home organ of Secretary NOBLE. and
it perhaps gives hint of coming pol
icy in its vigorous advocacy of the early
opening of the entire Indian territory
to White settlement, without much
other regard to the claims of the Indi-
ans than to pay them some moderate
sum, to be fixed by the government.
The tawny aborigines are not to be re-
garded in any tribal relations fit parties
for treaty obligations, but as vagabonds
and obstructioniSts i'll the path of civil
iZation. Lands are condemned and
taken for public improvements. and the
idea seems to be to adopt somewhat
similar methods with the Indians. If
they want to live they must hustle like
white folks and keep out of the way
Should this be the policy with the In
dian territory,it would, of course, be ap-
piled to all the Indian reservations as
fast as white settlement comes up to
them.

THE OKLAHOMA RUSH.

A week from tomorrow the Okla
homa lands will be open to settle
ment, and what wild rush and dis
graceful scramble there will be. There
are 10000 homeSteads in the territory
and there are now over 100000 boomers
encircling the territory, ready to rush
across the border on the morning of the
day fixed by the presidents proclama-
ton. They are all adventures, most
of them of reckless disposition, and
some of them notorious desperadoeS, so
it is easy to imagine what scene will
be presented i'll fair Oklahoma land
next Monday. The presence of the
small body of Federal troops that will
be on hand will hardly be sufficient to
restrain the daredevil spirit of these
boomers. And then what is to become
of the 10000 who will not find home
steads? There is fertile strip of Cher
okee land that they will have to pass
over in getting into the Oklahoma
country, and the chances are that they
will squat on that and defy the govern
ment to remove them. So far as the
HARRISON administration has outlined
our IndiaD policy, it is to be the reverse
of the one adopted by the CLEVELAND
administration, and the probabilities
are that the Cherokee lands will be
turned over to the boomers.

LONGEVITY.

A French scientist of high note is re-
ported to have died the past week at
the age of 103 years. He possessed his
faculties and physical powers in good
degree to his latest years. 1t is notable
that longevity is more common among
those whose minds are occupied with
elevating and expanding ideas, without
the friction ard strain of excessive ac-
tivity. In the sacred college the aver
age age of the members is about eighty,
and none of the cardinals give signs of
mental weakness. The statistics do not
show that Italy is specially healthful
land as compared with other portions of
Europe. The pecentage of Italians over
sixty is given as Z, with added fractions
in Germany and England, and France
comes up to IL. Possible the volatile
Gaelic nature is conducive to long life.
This may not be quite respectful, how
ever, to the English clergy. who are at
the head of the classes the life Insurance
companies like for risks. 1t is a sim
gular fact, as stated, that the clergy of
the church of England average much
greater longevity than the Catholic
clergy. While ten of the former die
fifteen of the latter pass away. Per-
haps, an argument in favor of matri-
mony may come in here. In this coun-
try the greater intensity of life reduces
the average, but the insurance people
report material and steady gain. They
have figured out the chances of life very
closely. They find that the average
man at sixty has little less than four
teen years before him, and the woman a
little more. AT eighty the woman has
an increased prospect. These insurers
have good deal of interest in the hab-
its of the insured, and it is wonder
that they do not inculcate upon them
the practice of the requisites for Ion
gevity. They find, for instance. that at
the age of fifty the expectation of life
for the temperate man is as seven to
three to that of the Incorporate. With
those over seventy the chances in favor
OF the rich over the poor are about four
to one, and they prefer risks on the
wealthy.

BORING FOR GAS.

A good deal of sport has been made
of the scheme in the Kansas legislature
to bore four deep holes in different
parts of the state. There was some reason
in it if there are proba bilities of strik-
ing natural gas, coal or other valuable
substance. Less rational uses are made
of a good deal of public money in this
state than in experimental deep borings
Ill the geologically diverse parts of the
state. individuals have been risking a
good deal of money in tests for natural
gas in Freeborn county and at Still
water. They will do good service if
they fully determine the question of
such deposit in those sections. If there
is anything of value laid away by nature
within reachable distance of the sur
face, it will not subserve It's mission
unless expensive chances are taken.

Oddities of the Patent Office

Washington Post
Occupying prominent position in a
case in the center aisle is the model of
boat for lifting vessels over shoals.
1t was patented to Abraham Lincoln in
1S49, when she future president thought
to make reputation as an inventor
rather than statesman. Lincoln is
the only president who ever secured a
patent.
The first shoe was patented in 1911
by two Massachusetts men. 1t is of I'M
dressed leather, and there is quite a
difference between the workmanship of
that and the present machine-Stitched
shoe. So we'll was the work done, how
ever. that it was impossible to tell
whether it was pegged or SeWed until
some sacrilegiOuS clerk cut the sole and
ascertained 1t was pegged.
In the class of perpetual motion ma
chimes the patent office is deficient. 1t
has no working model, but an inventor
stepped in the other day to say that he
had a completed and tested model
which he would send shortly. 1t re-
such as a governor to keep it from going
too fast and running down. When the
machine arrives it will be given an en-
tire case by itself.
The flying machine inventor is repre-
scented. There are flying machines of
all sorts, sizes, and conditions. The
last one to be patented was an elaborate
arrangement of wings and tails, which
the aerial traveller dons for his flight
through space, and was patented March
5, last.
There are in the neighborhood of 300
600 models in the patent Office, and had
it not been for two destructive fires the
number would be near half million.

The Medieval Housewife.

Good Housekeeping.
The housewife of the Middle Ages
cooked over an open fire On a stone
hearth in the middle of the room, hole
in the roof letting the smoke escape.
Over this fire the people shiy-
cred in cold weather. but at a
later time some of the queens had
braZiers or small iron furnaces in their
rooms. There were no carpets in those
days, and rusheS and sweet herbs were
spread upon the floor instead, especially
when company was expected. There
were tapestries on the walls of the finer
houses. At dinner people sat on wooden
benches and stools at heavy ia
bic of boards set on trestles, and this
was covered with cloth The bill of fare
changed with the centuries in those
days, and not much from day to day;
the food was barley and oaten bread,
bacon. fish, capOns, eggs and an abund-
ance of ome-brewed ale, and the no.
bles sometimes had wine from the East.

THE MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY.

Here, Lord, upon this mount of grace
Where we with wonder see
Thy glIstening robes, Thy shining face
How good it is TO be!
Here, Lord, abide; and we will build
Three tents for Thee and Thine;
And glory, which the temple filed,
Shall ever round us shine
AS Thou TRANSPORTED didst appear
Low at Thy feet we bowed;
And, with great and trembling fear,
We entered in the cloud.
But now Thy words our fear allay;
How well we know their tone;
OH, here we would forever stay,
To see Thee, Lord, alone,
But no, Thou wilt not here abide;
For soon with eager feet.
Thou goeSt down the mountain side
Thy service to complete.
Thy loved ones need delivering grace;
The suffering need Thy care;
And for a lost and sinful race
Thou hast cross to bear.
Not longer, then. will we here rest,
But Thy disciples be;
And from this mount with hearts refreshed,
We now will follow Thee.
Oh. help us by Thy grace within
To bear the toll and heat;
Thy poor TO serve, the lost to win,
And cen our cross to meet
higher mount we then shall climb,
Led thither by Thy grace,
Where in its majesty sublime
Forever shines Thy face
Not IN the tents that we prepare
Cap dwelthat radiance bright
But i'll that sunless city where
Thy glory is the light

he has taken with him, and as to that

FARCICAL INSPECTION.

A Minnesota gentleman who does a
considerable business in the live stock
trade. and who has frequent occasion to
be at the Chicago cattle yards, says that
cattle inspection there is farce. In
one day there he had seen three men
inspe ct $1,000 cattle; and the way they
did it was to ride around the cattle
yards on horseback and look at the cat
tie over Seven-foot fence.
Lit is to be hoped that such an inferior
system of inspection will not be toler-
ated in this state, because unless the in
spection is honest and thorough the new
law will be worse than failure. 1t
will have to be honestly enforced or
public sentiment will soon force its re-
peal.

Corrupting the Ballot in Chicago.

chicago Daily News
The Republicans have collected $780,
600 to buy the election of Mayor Roche.
This sum is sufficient to pay 10000
voters 50 each. Sixty thousand votes
will elect Roche and give him a good,
big majority. But large vote will be
cast for Mayor Roche that will not have
to be bought. This will leave perhaps
81 OF S. to pay to those voters who
would not vote for Roche without being
hired to do so. There are, 1t is said,
10000 workingmen in Chicago who are
out of employment. 1t is designed to
rupt the ballot. This plan of the Re-
publican campaign is now developing.
The Republican wards are to be aban-
doned. The recalcitrant Republicans
will be left alone. The Democratic
wards are to be bought.
