A Toast Raises International QUESTION:
Tho Austrian Empress.
lCopyrisht. 1890. By New York Associated Press.
BERLM. Nov. THE report Of the COM
mission on the tariff question has not beer
published, but il known to disfavor bott
the extensive revision Of Austro- German
customs matters and combined action in
the way OF reprisal for American and
French tariffs. The new French tariff is a
heavier blow than the Mckinley law against
the export trade of Austria, for, while il
does not affect Germany, expectation from
Austria to France is almost entirely checked
by the new tariff. Austrian newspapers ara
crying out against it. Protests, chiefly
from the agricultural interests, are pouring
into the chancellerie against any zollverein

such action was an impossibility.

to the Duke Of Connaught at the dinner Of
tho Scithen Hussars, of which the duke is
honorary colonel. The emperor called the
duke an able German officer, worthy to lead
hussars in the presence of the enemy. The
French papers took this up and asked If the
future commander in chief of the English
army ought thus identify himself with the
German army. The French ambassador to
England, it is reported, to-day conveyed to
Salisbury the intimation that the affair was
offensive to the French government. Now
the kaiser denies the accuracy of the report
of his toast and prosecutes the editor.
A communication in the official press
signed by the chief of the emperor's civil
cabinet, denying curtly that the kaiser took
any step whatever to induce Bismarck to
come to Moltke's fstes, suggests no lessen

attend as member Of that body, but told
his friends that while he would respond to
an invitation from the kaiser he would not
mingle with the imperial circle unless he
was made welcome.

clearly from Bismarck, refers to the exult-
ant bowling of his enemies and declares that
the calumnies will be regarded with con-

claim to know to a man what the vote will
be on Tuesday. It is at this time difficult
to accurately determine the vote for con-
gresham, but it is certain that Bob Fisher
will again be relegated to the shades of pri-
yate obscurity. His own mouth will con-
tribute good part to this result. One OF
the best county campaigns in Montana has
been conducted by Charles 2. Pond, chair
man of the democratic central committee.
He has labored night and day without rest
to bring about a democratic victory, and
his efforts will show good results when the
votes are counted. If tireless energy and
devotion to political work are worth any
tking, Chairman Pond il entitled to un-
bounded credit. George 8. Greene, chair
man Of the republican committee, has been
laboring hard, but he lacks Ponds knowl-
edge of political fine work, and is weak in
other respects. He is surrounded with
plenty of lieutenants, while Pond has done
good part of the work alone.
There will be heavy falling off in the
vote of this county. Last year something
over $500 ballots were cast while the regis
tration in the entire county this year is but
1896. This is largely. accounted for by the
railroad vote last year on the Pipestone and
vicinity. The vote at Wickes will also be
about 100 short. The republicans carried
this precint last year by 50 majority. This
year their majority there will be a bare
scratch and it is doubtful if they secure
that. II is known that several we'll known

John HOWard's Real Character.

On the Goth of January, 1890. John
Howard, the philanthropist. died at Cher

100 years tribute may justly be paid to
the great prison reformer. With all How

else title to honor has been generally mis-
understood He is loosely spoken of as a
phlanthrOpist who went from prison to
prison, and from hospital to hospital of
Europe ministering to the wants of prison
ers and sick persons. Howard was without
doubt a good and charitable man. But the
errand upon which he traversed Europe
over and over again was not an errand OF
mercy in that sense.
He had far deeper conception of the
philanthropist's functions than to be scat
terer of dOles. Nor was he one OF those
friends to humanity" whose friendship to
their fellow creatures consisted in evolving
grand theories out of a so called natural
law" Howard really did for Imprisonment
what Beccaria and Bentham did for GRIM
inal egislation-placed it upon humane
and logical basis. To his credit. he applied
to philanthropy, almost for the first time,
patient process OF research and inductive
reasoning. Howard was Calvinist,
severe disciplinarian. and like those Scotch
missionaries whom Stanley has celebrated.
he was impelled by an Overmastering sense
Of duty.-London Times.

Emigration.

The history of the human race, is story
of emigration. Commencing with that
luckless pair, driven forth from the garden
of Eden. their pathway lighted up by the
glare of the fiery sword-go forth and till
the earth-and man was hencefOrth to earn
mis- living in the sweat of his face.
The cities of Rome COrinth, Babylon,
Athens, Carthage. what are they? Land
marks and tidemarks of the endless emigra-
ton. In the days before history. in the
mountain mists of tradition. we see the dim
form of pioneers leading tribes across
mountains and rivers and through the
wilderness.
Even Mythology is tale OF emigration.
And the story did not end, when Hercules,
set up his pillars at the strait of Gades
(nOw strait of Gibraltar). and forbade man
kind to explore the exterior ocean. The
fearless PhOenician came, and swept by
without Stacking sail or needing Hercules.
He came. and went. and came diSenchant-
ing mankind of their fears.
The Romans talked of having conquered
and ruled the very ends of the earth. And
Europe for ages accepted the Roman geog-
raphy.
AL lHSplIcu SdllOI, CHllStOputI COluIuUuS,
dedcating his ship to the mother of Christ,
launched fearessly out into the unknown
sea and introduced the New World to the
acquaintance of the Old. This was the
greatest event that ever happened in the
history of the world. A situation simular,
had not been presented to mankind, since
the days of Noah. The birth of new
world was at hand. Mankind had it in
their power to begin the world over again.
And the greatest emigration in the history
of the human race commenced with the dis

that period was Overrun with oppression.

large cities and who can equally as well as
the latter be classed as professional jurors.
The sheriff is impOrtuned to use his infu
ence to secure them employment, and his
refusal is taken as an insult. By some he
is evidently expected to break his oath of
office for their convenience. Efforts have
been made time and time again to break up
the practice. and while it has by these
means been reduced it has not been broken
up entirely. 1t is an evil that it seems i'm
possible wholly to break up.-Red Wing

The Hereafter Discussed.

1t is further to be remarked that the
Bible does not affirm immortality IN any ab-
stract or general form. 1t does not furnish
any argument on the subject. 1t proceeds
upon the assumption. from Genesis to Rev.
elation, that Immortality is mans preroga-
tive. Take the opposite thought or theory
and there is no intelligibIeness in the writ
ings of Noses or David, or Isaiah, or any
other of its writers, just as there is no dem
OnStratlOn of the existence of God, but
universal taking it for granted. and you can
not read Genesis any more than Revelation
without seeing God in it. Just as a man
naturally cOnceiveS of God, so he cOnceives
of immortality. and the Scriptures speak in
harmony with this natural conception and
longing. But when we come to ask for
prOOf-teXts that the soul of man is immOr-
tai through a natural. inherent, internal
necessity. we do not find them. 1t can only
be inferred from such texts that God
breathed into the nOstrilS of man and man
became living soul.
The primuS homo was the first man thus
inspired, who became the progenitor of the
species. Taking this as starting point,
we may marshal all the texts of Scripture
that bring life and immortality to light"
and hear them speak inferentially for the
natural immortality of the soul. 1t is easily
seen that if the position could be Scrptur-
ally established. it would be decisive and
final in the conflict with those who contend
for the annihilatiOn of the wicked. For if
the soul is naturally and inherently inde-
structible the annhilationist has no ground
Oh which to stand. The question is, has
God given to the spirit of man indestruct-
iblity as gift? We wish for immortality.
The wish is a kind of argument; it Is not
probable that God would have given all
such feeling if he had not meant to crafty
it. If we thirst. God has created liquids to
crafty thirst If we thirst for life and
love eternal, it is likely that there is an
eternal life and an eternal love to satisfy
that craving. H. Vaudeville. D. D.,

LifesS Shadows.

Life's Shadows.
What great influence over the destnies
of our lives the shadows have. By their
brightness or darkness they make us happy
or sOrrOwful, hopeful or respondent, dill
gent or reckless. truthful or dishonest.
How they lift us up or drag us down. All
our lives, for want of light. are immersed
in shadows opaque or transparent. Some
are unavoidable. others imaginary; but all
have subtle and powerful influence.
The pessimst grovels in the darkest
shades of shadowed hope. While others
live under transparent shadows; which are
the omens that stimulate their actions. We
are all more or less given to prOgnOstic pro-
clivities that obscure our lives, or illumi
nate our paths and lead us on to success.
All hope is based upon the image shadows
that take shape in the mind. and become
prominent before us as truths soon to be
realized. These are. if properly founded,
the shadows of the true success of life.
But how often, though seemingly the
brightest. they are as fitting as phOsphor-
escent light from eff1uvial swamps When
young men venture on the treacherOuS ways
presented before them by shadows of va
rlOuS and grand objects that seem to be per-
feet realities which they have gotten by
following their own speculative ideas-they
have 10 adequate conception of the final re-
suits. 1t is self abrasion of manhood to
revel in ilusOry hopes and shadows that
are in truth the darkest shades of death;
because we are standing in our own light;
q
of certain destruction. A man will picture
in his mind the very objects of his destruc-
tiOn and follow them, believing that he is
right. He must determine the true results
before acting, and if the shadows are of
substantial appearance he will not be cen
Sured if he fails; but in nine out of ten cases
he will not fail.
Young men start out with the hallucna-
tiOn. that to be able to gain from the eco
nOmical industry of others. is an evidence of
shrewdness, and here they are in the shades
of darkness. striving for their own final de-
structiOn. There is not man on earth
that would purpOsely commit a crime if he
were positively sure that he must suffer the
penalty; therefore. 1t is obvious that ne does
not comprehend the finality. This is again
seen when men are released from bondage:
as, they fall into the ruts of the old ways to
sink deeper into ruin. There is but one
way to Obviate this predomnating error.
and that is. we must be reasonably sure
that we fully comprehend the probable re-
suits of our proposed undertakings, and
never undertake to prosecute a proposition
that we cannot anticipate the right results
to be obtained.
Reason teaches that difficulties fraught
with tolls, privatiOns and perpleXities sur
round us. Nothing but zeal. stimulated by
the holy spirit of right, guided by philOsO-
phy and reason, can give that impetus to
our energies necessary to SurmOunt the diff
ficulties that ObStruct our progress. By the
aid Of intelligence. all mpediments to our
advancement will be removed, and all Omi-
nous shadows discarded. G.

A Reflection and Little Advice.

AS the pale moon cast her shadows into
my dismal cell the other night l thought of
the fair world without these walls and won
dered how my various friends were occupy
ing their time, and it struck me what
dolt, ass and idiot 1 was to have gotten my
self into such an institution as this; and
then my thoughts suddenly struck off at
tangent to far fairer scene than this, to
sunny. southern Spain, where the air was
redolent with the fragrance of the magnolia,
acacia and arbutuS. where the voice of the
nightingale may be heard all through the
balmy night and where the writer met his
fate in the face of a fair wOman-fair as
Cleopatra, but treacherOus as JezebeI.
For the benefit of my outside readers 1
will herewith give short sketch of my life
and trust it may be lesson to many young
men who may have become imbued with
the idea that a short life and merry one is
the best.
At the age of twenty-one, after having
graduated at college, l inherited fort
une that was ample to have kept me in
ease and luxury through lifetime. started
out to see the world and it's vanities. At
first all went we'll and my income was am
pie to meet all expenses; but then came the
siren with her fair face and hOnied words
and instead of living on the interest OF my
money l began to draw upon the capital.
In few short years the whole was scattered
like chaff before the wind; and now. looking
back. l ask myself: What good did that
fortune do me?" and the answer is, Not
one iOta." l did not do one single act that
would rebound with credit or praise to my
self; and even now, when l think of my
midnight carOusals in the gayest and most
wicked city in the wOrld-Paris-Ic can hon
estly say that feel thoroughly ashamed
and disgusted with myself. and could only
retrace my footsteps. my life should be diff
ferent; but alas this is not to be-what is
done cannot be undone.
Now to you, young men. who are about
to start life in this pleasant world I would
say, ponder few short moments on the
above specimen and result of fast life. If
you think it is worth trying all well and
good go ahead and try it and l will guar
antee to say that ere few years have passed
over you head you will regret you did not
take the advice offered for your welfare;
and the probability is that you will find
yourself one day in the same if not worse
box than the writer is day.

this narrow life of ours and if you keep
within the same and even up to the edge of
it all is we'll. but should you once cross over

CLIMBING UP THE HILL.

JAMES WHITCOMBE RILEY.
Never look behind, boys.
Up and on the way!
Time enough for that, boys,
On some future day.
Though the way be long, boys.
Fight it with will;
Never stop to look behind
When climbing up hill.
First be sure you're right, boys,
Then with courage strong,
Strap your pack upon your back.
And tug. tug along;
Better let the lag-lout
Fill the lower bill,
And strike the farther stake-pole
Higher up the hill.
Trudge is slow horse, boys.
Made to pull a load,
But in the end will give the dust
To racers on the road.
When you're near the top. boys,
of the rugged way,
Do not stop to blow your horn,
But climb. climb away.
Shoot above the crowd, boys,
Brace yourselves and go!
Let the plodding land-pad
Hoe the easy row.
Success is at the top. boys,
Waiting their until
Brains and pluck and self-respect
Have mounted up the hill.
