THE MAN AND HIS TWO WIVES.
(AEsoP's FABLEs.)

In the days when man was allowed
more than one wife, middle-aged bachelor,
who could be called neither young nor old,
whose hair was only just beginning to turn
gray must needs fail in love with two women
at once and marry them both. The one was
band to appear as youthful as herself; the
other was somewhat; more advanced in age,
and was anxious that her husband should
appear suitable match for her. So while
the young one seized every opportunity of
pulling out the good mans gray hairs, the
older one was as industrious in plucking out
every black hair she could find. For awhile
the man was highly gratiicd by their attep-
ton and devotion, til he found one morning

A MORMON SCHEME.

Whatever the condition of the Nor
mon question as relates to the social
feature that has been the object of at
tack, it does not show any disposition 10
surrender its political opportunities.
AT the late election the Mormons had
their candidate for congress in Utah,
and in all the counties their vote was
unit for the men representing the in
terests of the church. They had a large
majority in the territory. and carried all
but one or two counties. There is no
other politics with the masses controlled
by the Mormon priesthood than the
service of their church. Their vote can
be thrown as unit for either party or
any purpose dictated by their rulers.
Since the election. the Republican
Gentle papers of that section advance
the theory that the Mormons think the
time is favorable for a deal with the de-
pressed Republicans at Washington
that will advance them to statehood.
Their idea is that the Mormon leaders
will contract to deliver to the Repub-
licans the three votes of the state in the
presidential contest, the two senators
and congressman, as their part of a bar
gain that will give them statehood.
There is no question as to the ability
and probably would be none as to the
good faith of the Mormons, in carrying
out their share of such an arrangement.
The only chance the Republicans in
congress would have to materialize
such a scheme would be at the coming
short term, and it would be impossible
to carry it cut in the face of the obsta-
cles the Democrats could throw in the
way. Were it feasible it would cost
them more than the assets. They are
likely to need a few more senators not
long hence, but they will not invest in
the Mormon article. The Republican
journals at Salt Lake City. however,
have not confidence enough in their
party to regard the scheme as idle and
absurd. But there need be no appre-
hension in the matter. The Repub-
licans in congress will have no time,
had they the disposition, to treat with
the surviving relic of barbaIism in any
such way. They will not FIND senators
in that quarter.

THE MONEY sTRINGENCY,

There Is plenty of money III circula-
| ton to do the legitimate business of
the country, hence there can be no dan
ger of crash. Yet there is manifest
nervousness in New York. which is the
money center of the nation. and more
| or less apprehension throughout the
country that we are approaching a
financial crisis. 1t would be useless
10 deny that q panicky feeling
exists; and yet. the most conservative
business men all agree that there is no
real cause for alarm. The depression
i'll the value of stocks has demoralized
the spectators, and this is the real
secret of the panic. Business concerns
which are conducted on legitimate bust
ness principles have no uneasiness and
no ground for uneasiness. But the
iiaitS are bad for the wildcat specu-
lot"rs and for such industrial and finan-
cial institutions as have been built on
sandy foundations.
n number of explanations have been
given for the peculiar condition of at
fairs in Wall street. and none of them
altogether. satisfactory. One theory is,
that there is a combine of capitalists
who have locked up the money in order
to advance the rate of interest and to
make it difficult to carry stocks. Others
attribute it to the situation abroad,
while there are those who think that
the treasury department is TO blame,
and the secretary himself is suspected
of being in the combine. All Of these
causes may exist. and all of them may
be contributing to the monetary dis
turbance. But a fair investigation of
causes brings one to the conclusion
that this country, in common with the
rest of the world. is suffering from
temporary scarcity of capital conse-
quent upon period of rapid develop
ment. For the last ten years our civil
lization has been moving too fast for
our resources. We have Overdid our
selves and have to stop for breath.
That is all there is of it, and as soon as
we have had our breathing spell we
will be in good shape again and pre-
pared to move forward with accelerated
pace.
Fortunately we are in condition here
in the Northwest to resist the effect of

their W estern customers to induce them
to pay their bills in advance of matur-
ity. If the Western customers yield TO
this temptation it is likely to produce
more of a drain on our banks than is
compatible with the business interests
of this section. Considering the it'll
mate relations existing between our
jobbers and our banks, we do not an
ticipate anything that would be detri-
mental to either. 1t is time when all
of our Western interests must stand to-
gether and work in harmony i'll protec

COMMERCIAL STATESMEN.

Mr.. DEPEw's alacrity in climbing into
Mr.. BLA1NE's reciprocity wagon indi-
Gates his anxiety to float with the tide,
and leaves him open to the spicion
that the presidential bee still buzzes in
his bonnet. His speech at the New
York chamber of commerce banquet,
Tuesday night, is queer accumulation
OF political riff-raff. 1t is a clear flop
from the protection idea to Democratic
doctrine: yet he hadn't the manliness
to either plant himself squarely where
he wanted to stand, or to openly avow
his conversion of heart. What he is
pleased to call the commercial states
manship of the age, has just averted a
financial crash, and did it without ask
ing the aid of cabinets or secretaries.
This has impressed Mr.. DEPEw with
the newborn belief that the permanency
of our prosperity depends upon opening
the f1oodgates of commerce, and in Civ
ing full freedom to the laws of trade.
This is most sensible view to take of
matters, but if Mr.. DEPEw had talked
that way before election he would have
been called a Democrat. and Tom REED
would have bounded him all over the
country as a renegade and traitor to Re-
publican principles.

purpose or taking steps to organize
national Alliance. The call follows
When the otter Tail County Alliance on the
1lth day OF June. A. ID. 1890, declared In
favor of independent political action it gave
the signal for political uprising such as
never before was witnessed i'll the state. and
perhaps not in the nation. The result was a
victory that exceeded our most sanguine eX
pectations at that time.
But as eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty we must not in the intoXication of
our hrst success for moment forget that the
people \ 0ppresSOrs with restless energy and
limitiess resource, with unequaled expe-
rience. ability and cunning are already pre-
pairing for the conflict of 1892
During The last thirty years the national
and state governments have tenderly nursed
and protected the s'infant industries and
the railways and other monopolies until the
creatures consider themselves greater than

Both of the dominant political parties are
responsible for that condition.
Relief must be sought in new national Or
ganiZation.
To that end il is imperative that the next
annual meeting of the state Alliance take the
preliminary steps towards organizing Ma
tiOnal Alliance party.
Otter Tail county must maintain her place
as the first one Ill the front rank of the ALI
ance movement.
Notice is therefore hereby given that a
special meeting of the Otter Tail county
Farmers Alliance will be held at the court
house in Fergus Fails on Thursday, the Ith
day OF December, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. M,
to elect one delegate TO the state Alliance,

GETTING TOGETHER.

Mr.. OWEN, late Alliance candidate
for governor, is emphatic in his opin-
ion that there should be 10 fusion be-
tween the new party and either of the
other parties. This is unquestionably
the correct view to take of it. If there
is any reason for the existence of the
Alliance party. it should certainly
maintain its organization and be as in
dependent as either of the other parties
1t so happens. however. that no one
party has majority of the legislature
which assemblies this winter, and what
ever legislation is enacted must be ac-
complished by the coming together of
two of the parties. There may not be
an actual fusion, but there must be an
understanding or agreement by Which

CHICAGo's BIG CANAL.
Gen. Newton Invited to Take
Charge of the Work.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The big canal
from Chicago through the watershed
separating the great lakes from the trib.
utaries of the Mississippi was advanced
an important step to-day. Impatience
at the slow progress apparently
being made when the money for the
great work had months ago been voted
by both the city and the state was
brought to a climax at this afternoons
meeting of the board of commissioners.
A majority of the board voted in favor
OF measures looking to the appoint
ment of supervising or consult
ing engineer. The idea was to
secure man with a record that would
guarantee the energetic pressing of the
immense undertaking to successful
conclusion. Gen. John Il. Newton, the
West Pointer who gained worldwide
fame by his feat of blowing up He'll
Gate in New York harbor, was men
toned. and the board, by formal reso-
luton, invited him to try his hand
on the formidable distractions to the
success OF the Chicago canal. There is
little doubt but he will accept ami that
with the 10000 or more men expected to
be employed in the undertaking. Chi
cago's part of tie work will be COM
pleted before the opening of the worlds
fair.
