FHR THREE PREACHERS.
NJ CHARLES MACIAY.

There are three preachers, ever prcach1nS,
Filled with eloquence and power:
One Is old, with locks Of white,
Skinny as an anchorite;
And he breaches every hour
With shrill. fanatic voice,
And bigot's fiery scorn:
BACKWARD! ye presumptuous nations;
Man to misery Is bort
Born to drudge, end sweat, and suffer-
Born to labor and to pray;
BAcKwARDl ye presumptuous nationa-
Back be humble and obeyI
The second is a milder preacher;
Soft he talks as if he sung
Sleek and slothful is his look,
And his words, as from book,
Issue gEbly from his tongue.
With an air Of self-content,
HIGH he lifts his fair white hands:
STAND YE STILL We restless nGt;onss
And be happy, al ye lands
Fate is law, and Low is perfect;
II We NEEDLE, ye will mar;
Change is 3ash and ever was 80;
We are happy as we are.'
Nightier is the younger preacher,
Genius flashes from his eyes,
And the crowds who hear his voice
Give him, while their souls rejoice,
Throbbing bosoms for replies.
Awed they listen, yet elatsd,
While his stirring accents fall:
FORWARD We deluded nations,
Progress is the rule OF all;
Man was made for healthful efots
Tyranny has crushed him long;
he shall march from good to better,
And do battle with the wrong.
Standing still is childish folly,
Going backward is crime;
None should patiently endure
ANY i'll that he can cure.
ONWARD keep the march OF Tina
Onward! while wrong remains
To be conquered by he right;
While Oppression lifts finger
To affront us by his might;
While an error clouds the reason
OF the universal heart,
Or slave awaits his freedom.
Action is the wise mans part.
Lo! the world is rich in blessings;
Earth and ocean, flame and wind,
hath unnumberd d secrets still,
To be ransacked when you will
For the service of mankind;
Science is child as yet.
And her power ano-scope shall grow,
And her triulrphs in the future
Shall diminish toll and Voc;
Shall extend the bounds OF pleasure
With an overwhelming ken,
And Of woods and wildernesses
Make the homes Of happy men
OSwARpl there nre ills to conquer,
Daily wickedness is wrought,
Tyranny is swollen with Pride,
Bigotry is deified,
Error is intertwined with Thought,
Vice and Misery ramp and crawl;
Root them out, their day has passed.
Goodness is alone immortal;
Evil was not made to last;
ONWARD? and all Earth shall aid US
Ere our peaceful flag be furld,
And the preaching Of this preacher
Stirs the pulses Of the world.

WARDEN RANDALL, of the Saltwater
prisoa. rendered his resignation to the
Board OF Prison Inspectors on Weonv--
day, and the same WIS laid aside for fu
ture consideration. That it will be &C.
cept6d is foTegOne conclusion. That
Mr. Randall chose this means of retir-
ing rather than being dethroned is
equally apparent. The resignation,
while voluntary on It's face, bears the
imprint of compliance with the de-
msnds of the bowling mob that has
been on his track for loi these many
months? Mr.. Randall has been made
the target for petty grievances, e0ncoct-
ed to rid the prison of his presence and
humane instincts. The CnIy manly
course left open for him to pursue is
the one ne has adopted, and he will re-
tire with much more to bic credit than
will those who have been DIGGING at MS
heels. For the credit of the party and
the good name of the state, II is hoped
that Gov. Merriam will exercise great
caution IN selecting man TO fill Warden
Randau's place, one who is broad-gaug-
ed, determined, competent and indie
pendent from the dictates of any fac
ton or clique. There are some things,
that the people are interested in, and the
management of the penal institutions of
our State is not least among the num-
Der.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.
Special to the FREE PRESS
Congress has met and started INTO
work IN the right way-the horse before
the cart First the election act
IN the Senate and the sppro-
portiOnment in the House. The ap
prlation measures of necessity must
be passed, by the work of shis congress
or The next, but honest and fair elections
and an honorable and equitable distri-
button OF congressman must be accom-
pilshed this winter or not at all. Pres
ent indications point to the success of
both measures, and appropriations will
not fail because the Democrats dare not
hazard an extra session with the fnanc-
ial requirements of the government as
tha sole issue.
In Congress and out nothing but com
mendation is heard for President Har-
rlson's message. Even Democrats In
the Senate and House find no criticism
that the purely impartial cannot cnnsld-
er praise, as the objections lie TO the

by President Harrison
Congress IL quite at sea concerning the
cure that must De prescribed for the is

Cd that the cure of the disease is the
province of Legislation, that OF the exc

history of the patient. Secretary Win
dom, they add, makes two things pat
ent, that the crop movement in the fall
causes annually an undue absorption of
money, and that nearly all of the most
des ructlve money panics have occurred
at this period of the wear. This means
pure and simple more money. How to
get 1t though, is still the unsOlyed cnnun-

fact that the federal courts have not the

Luverne Herald: Senator Washburn
visited Mankato recently, and consulted

ton TO the establishment of sugar beet
factory IN Mankato. HIS visit was great
~ appreciated by the people of Manka-

TO get practical information on this i'm

given tile whole subject the most careful
study, and has done much to stimulate
interest in sugar beet culture in this
state and IN the Dakotas. II the pres
ent movement TO establish sugar beet
factory IN Mankato is carried to a sue

STATE SUPERINTENDENT kIEHLE, in his
annual report, is ID line with the Repub-
lican convention which last summer rec
ommended the adoption OF the free text
book system for use in country school
districts. On this point the Superin-
tendent remarks:
/ consider it wholly within the prov
ince of the people who pay for school
books to devise from the financial stand
point their own best way to furnish
them, with this kept clearly ID mind,
that the end for which all this expense
Is incurred is in the education OF our
youth, and therefore that no scheme
should be considered which forbids
teachers and youth the use of as good
books as the market affords.
Assuming that the present contract
will terminate IN 1892, ii will devolve
upon the coming legislature to make
proper regulations for supply Of good
text books at fair prices after the expir-
alton of the present contract.
/ am still of the opinion, as presented
IN my report of 1886, that no method SO
entirely meets the demands of both fin
ancial and educational interests as that
of free text books" i. g., books pur-
chased by the district, and used as q
part of the school apparatus. From the
financial side, purchases are made di-
rect from the publishers and at lowest
rates. The experience OF other states
and of many cities has been that the
cost per pupil is reduced to about 40
cents, SO that the average cost to dis
trict of so pupils would average about
$40 annually.

A COLD wave is defined by Prof. 7.
Russell as fall of temperature IN TWEEN
ty-four hours of 20 degrees over an area
of 80, 900 square miles, the temperature
in some part of this area descending to
26 degrees. Between 1880 and 1890 no
less than 691 cold waves were recorded
in the United States. In the great cold
wave of Jan. II, 1882, the fall of 20 de-
grees extended over an area of !, 101 900
SCARE miles, and the fall of 10 degrees
included :. 929, 900 square miles In six
cold waves of the ten years the area Of
the fall of 20 degrees was more than &

IN Denmark, some interesting, and
perhaps very valuable, researches into
the potato disease have been made by
Prof. J. L. Jensen. The disease is found
to consist of fungus, whose spores are
carried by the wind, and which first at
tacks the foliage of the plants. 1t
spreads to the tubers In about seven
days by spores washed down from the
stem and foliage. Considering these
facts, it was thought that the tubers
might be protected by moulding the
soil into q broad ridge, or inches
high and 10 or II inches wide, after the
first wedding, and further earthing up
on one side only-causing the plants to
bend SO that the spores would fall away
from the ndges-within seven DAYS az
ter the appearance of the disease on the
foliage. Some 150 farmers are said to
have experimental in this way, with
these astonishing results: Where no
moulding or earthIng up was done, the
percentage of diseased potatoes was "a !;
where the moulding was imperfect, u;
and where the moulding was perfect,
only 1. Infection during harvest was
prevented by allowing the tuber to re-
main in the ground for month after
the whitening OF the tops.

Well and Happy.

I take pleasure in submitting the follow
ing statement of facts that you may know
the great benefit that has resulted from the
use of your Specific in the case of my little
daughter, now ten years Of age. The child,
when two years of age, had severe attack
of scarlet fever, which left her with shat
tered constitution. Among other evidences
of impaired nutrition was what the doctors
called softening of the bones. In her fifth
year she happened to slight accident
which resulted in the dislocation of the hip
joint, and, from the irritation thus set up,
terrible assesses of the hip ensued. The
assesses, despite the best medical treatment
that could be obtained, remained for three
years, discharging continuously. At this
time, through the influence of friends, I
put her on your S. S. S. When this treat
ment was commenced the abscess was very
large, having six perforations, pus discharg-
ing through them all. During this treatment
several spicula of bone came out, and by
the time she had finished her fifth bottle the
abscess had entirely healed, her appetite
and general health had been restored; in
short she was we'll and happy, and so con-
tinues.
