Just as the UNION predicted in last

Last week spoke to the readers of the
Union of the wrongs of the farmer Let
me speak to them this week of danger to
the republic which lies in the purchasing
power of money. Said an ancient phi
losopher, with a mathematical turn of
mind: "Glve me fulcrum for my lever
and | will move the earth.'' Money is
that lever, and the insane desire for sud-
den wealth is the wished for fulcrum
1t would seem that there IS being
opened in the public market stall for
the sale of every principle which has
heretofore been held sacred. Legislators
in the national and State capitals, IN city
councils, members of municipal boards
and commissioners-every that
men are placed to guard the sacred
trusts of their fellowship same story
comes to us. Bribery, rottenness, cor
ruption. Votes are hawkcd in the mar
ket place. Laws in nation, State and
city are passed for private gain and per-
sonal emolument There is but one bull
Wark against the corruption of the age
the judiciary. TO their honor be it said,
they have maintained almost, not quite)
their ancient purity. When will it end?
Fortunes made through questionable
methods are in turn used to corrupt other
men who want fortunes, and thus the
circle of impurity widens. Once ac-
CURED, fortune of one million Of dol
lars is made the medium of increasing
itself to ten millions. Then, maybe, the
possessor "whacks up" with God by
founding an orphan asylum or divinity
school, and goes right along, with this
poultice upon his rheumatic conscience,
and by the rule of Tradition, division and
silence" makes it twenty millions.
Never mind. Let us take comfort just
before the out break of the French revo-
luton a philosopher pointed out the dan
ger of a terrific explosion of that human
dynamite composed of two in gradients
ignorance and poverty-calling the at
tention of one of the butterflies of
wealth to 1t, "never mind" was the re-
spouse, cit will out-last our time!' That
is the comfort of this generation. Let
us Seat, drink and be merry and not

MI. James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railway, has very gener-
ously given $40, 900 to McAlister college,
a Presbyterian institution of learning at
st. Paul. This is very generous of Mr..
Hill, and should be an example to the
other wealthy men of the State 1 want

respondent fully appreciates the generous
self-ahnegations that prompted this gift.

up to call Mr.. Hill blessed for his gener-

But Mr.. Hill has done more. He has
given Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul,
$500, 900 in cold cash to found divinity
school or theological seminary in that
city. This school will, by this generous
expenditure, become the most firmly es-
tablished institution of Christian theo
logy in America, and one OF the religious
lights of the world. It will draw stu
dents from all quarters of the civilized
world, who, in turn will spend their
money in Minnesota and add rapidly to
the honest Accommodations of our people.
1t will therefore be readily seen how the
gift of Mr.. Hill casts its benefcient rays.

1t is very desirable that other million
aires may be encouraged TO assist the
cause of righteousness by similar gifts,
and they should by all means remember
that "the Lord loveth cheerful giver!''
Hon. Fl. G. o. Morrison, one of the
pioneers of Minneapolis, is dead. He
was lawyer, and settled in St. Anthony
IN 1856; was a brother of Hon. D. Nor
rison, the millionaire lumberman, also
of Minneapolis. He was good citizen,
an honest man, unseltish, kind hearted,
thoughtful to others, the truest of nus
bands and fathers. He did not possess
great wealth, and therefore had no serl-
Gus obstacle, probably, to entering at
once into the Kingdom of Heaven. He
was the firm friend of the widow and
the fatherless; he delighted to visit those
who were sick and in prison. l never
heard that he was much given to pray
ing-and hence was not heard for sshis
much speaking.'' All his neighbors
loved him. Every acquaintance greeted
him with a smile. He lived four years
beyond the allotted life, and died with
out an enemy. His life was gentle, and

might stand up and say to all the world,
