One of the worst features OF LA
Grippe is the amount Of poetry thai
accompanies it. Nearly every exchange
contained several lines of doggerel or
the subject. For the disease there are
many remedies, but for these nonsensical
efusions there is unfortunately no relief
but DEATH .-ANoKA HERALD.
| The Mortified News concludes an
article, in regard to recently published
communications to the president from
Mr.. Heatwole, by saying that to-day
the president is only the head servant

The labor organizations Of the coun-
try have agreed on May 1st as the date
for a universal strike, if necessary, to
bring about the eight hour blessedness.
1t begins to look as though the cranks
were in the ascendency in the labor or
CARNATIONS. Il the country and peo-
pie will be as well off with eight or less
hours for day, we long to see it,
but it looks like the vision of a crank,
instead of the wise deliberation Of a
leader, to talk of bringing about such a
great change SO suddenly. FA1RMoMT

The proclamation of President Harri-
son for the opening of the Sioux reser-
walton, will, doubtless, soon be issued. A
great rush OF settlers is expected. The
lands, when opened, will only be dis
posed OF under the provisions Of the
homestead law andGthe special laws OF
1888 touching this reservation. Occu-
pancy OF five years must be continu-

The government does no. intend that

hundred years, while prices of mos
things are much less. Where fast living
is the rule, there will always be the very
poor, the rich and the middle class
which sacrifices everything enjoyable
to Keep up appearances. Independ
ance III our living expenses is what il
needed as much as ANYTHING else, anG
the saying, that only he who is con
