A Glass Of Cold Mater

Where is the liquor which God the
eternal brews for all his children7 Not
in the simmering still, over smoky
fires choked with poisonous gases, and
surrounded with the stencil of sicken-
ing odors and rank corruptions, doth
your Father in Heaven prepare the
precious essence of life, the pure cold
water. But in the green glade and
grassy dell, where the red deer wan
ders and the child loves to play; there
God brews it. And down, low down,
in the lowest valleys, where the storm
cloud broods and the thunder storm
crash and away far out upon the wide
wild sea, where the hurricane howls
music, and the big waves roar; the
chorus sweeping the march of God;
there he brews it-that beverage of
life and health giving water. And ev-
erywhere it is a thing of beauty, gleam-
ing in the dew drop; singing in the
summer rain; shining in the ce-gem,
till the leaves seem to turn to living
jeaels; spreading golden veil over
the setting sun; or white gauze
around the midnight moon. Sporting
in the cataract; sleeping in the glacier;
dancing in the hail-shower; folding it's
bright snow curtains softly about the
wintry world; and waving the many
colored iris, that seraph's zone of the
sky, whose warp is the rain-drop of
earth, whose woof is the sunbeam of
heaven; all checkered over with celes-
tial flowers by the mystic hand of re-
fraction.
Still always it is beautiful, that life
giving water; no poison bubbles on it's
brink; its foam brings not madness
and murder; no blood stains it's liquid
glass; pale widows and starving Or
phans weep no burning tears in its
depth, no drunken, shrieking ghost
from the grave curses it in the words
of etornal despair; speak on, my
friends, would you exchange for it de-
mons drink, alcohol?-John B. Cough.

Representative Sheets, elected to
the legislature on the alliance ticket
from Todd county, sizes up the pend
ing Legislation on usury bills about
right in recent number of the Todd
County Argus, as follows:
This question of ixing the rate of
interest by law has occupied the time
of the legislature more than any other,
and it is probable that no laws ever
enacted are of less Importance or ben
eft than interest and usury laws. |
supported the Bull interest bill in def
erence to the wishes of large majori-
ty of the people of Todd county, and
because, personally, l would as soon
have one interest law as another. Dur
ing the past year [ have borrowed
money at rates from eight to twenty
per cent, the law having no effect
whatever in fixing the rate, and I think
others have had similar experience.

The Gazette he's repeatedly spoken
with approval of the motives of Clifton
Holden's brother, in giving his brother
the best defense procurable. But it
cannot do less than condemn the ILL
advised letters which have been given
to the newspapers in that connection.
Our readers will recall the fraudulent
letter of year ago, purporting to be
written by an anonymous writer who
confessed to the killing of Dodge and
declared Holden to be innocent. The
letter was such palpable invention
that it's publication was greatly depre-
Gated by Holden's counsel, inasmuch
as it did much to destroy a certain
feeling of public sympathy for their
client. Another letter, with but little
stronger basis of fact, appeared in the
Minneapolis Tribune last Monday.
Like the fraudulent confession, many
of the statements of this letter are SO
palpably misleading that they carry
with them their own denial, to all who
are at all familiar with the history of
the case. Elsewhere Mr.. Kenney Of
fers ample evidence in refutation of
the charge that he attempted to in
iuence the jury while acting as bailiff
He refers to any one of the twelve
jurymen on the case, most of whom
live in this vicinity, and all of whom
are credible men and good citizens
The imputations against Sheriff Mead
come with a particularly bad grace
Had it not been for the precautions o.
the sheriff in hurrying Holden away
from the eoroner's inquest to Now Ulm
a mob of Dodge's friends from Morton
would have made any trial OF Holder
unnecessary, as it is asserted on goot
authority that thorough plans wer'
made for lynching him on the nigh
following the inquest, and only frus
trated by the action of the sheriff i,
taking him out of town. Elsewher,
we reprint the letter believing that tn
lies in it are harmless in this commun
ity, and realizing that many of ou
out-of-town readers will have a natura
curiosity to read it. 1t is a sufficien
refutaticn of the material charges il
this letter to say, that many of then
singly and alone, supported by evi
dence, would have furnished ampl
grounds for demanding new trial
and that although Holden had tw
abe attorneys engaged in his defense
they were not able to procure evidenc
to substantiate any of the crazy state
ments made by Holden at the tim
of his sentence, and foolishly repeate
by his brother ip the Tribune letter.

The fact that the Minneapolis Tri-
bune has ceased to carry Blaine's pic
ture at the head of its editorial columns
is assumed as evidence of hostility to
the Blaine boom by some of our CO.
temporaries. 1t strikes us rather as
an evidence of good judgement when
the new administration of paper like
the Tribune declines to become the
advocate of any man exclusively, so
long before the time for making party
nominations. A great many Republi-
cans who would be delighted to vote
for Blaine in 90. are not ready now to
say that it will be expedient to nomi-
nate him for the presidency. A great
many turns of the political wheel are
possible in a years time. There is
no denying the fact, however, that
at this time the man from Maine is
the favorite in Minnesota, against all
conars

A Joint resolution expunging from
the Legislative records the evidence of
the impeachment of E. St. Julien Cox
passed both houses last week. Aside
from reviving the memory of an almost
forgotten episode, which purged the
bench of this judicial district from
palpable disgrace, we see no result
from such Legislative action. Mr.. Tur-
ren supported the resolution effective
ly in behalf of the judges family. II
the action will alleviate the feelings OF
the family, it is perhaps a piece Of
harmless Legislation, aside from being
a bad precedent. The way for man
to 'expunge" his past record is to live
it down and make better record.

Its Work in Assisting Small ConErega-
tional Churches and Sunday-Schools.
Rev. w. C. Merritt general superintendent of
the American Home Missionary Society of the
Congregational church of Tacoma has sent out
circular letter to the boys and girls OF the Con-
gregational Sunday-schools of the state. In
tha letter he gives some interesting facts about
the society and its work.
The object of the society 10 to assist congrega-
tons that are unable to support minister and
to carry the gospel to the destitute ali over the
United States. 1t now has 1912 missionary
laborers in service, and sixty-six of these are in
Washington. There were 1880 members added
to the churches aided last year. In Washington
lS9 churches and stations are established.
Next sunday the boys and girls of the Sun
day-schools will be asked to contribute q mite
to help along the work of the society. II all
the members OF the churches and Sunday
schools would enlist 1t would make an army of
$4,000 soldiers. And If each made gift aver
aging 10 cents the aggregate would be over $65,-
00o, while % cents from each would amount to
$4,000, which would pay the debt of the So
cety and $40 900 for new work.
Last year Washington contributed 81 ass 81
ami the total expenditures were $500 $50. SO.
