OF A PERSONAL NATURE.

DR.. Joel P. Justin, the inventor, is re-

King George. of Greece, is one of the
most democratic of rulers. He has a
thin and rather elegant figure, fresh
complexion, but prefers walking to rid

John Davis, of Kansas, is the first So
cialist to be elected to congress. He is
siXty-fOur years old, and has twice been
an unsuccessful candidate for repre-
sentative.
Senator Charles B. FarweH, of Illinois,
seems to be confident of retaining his

way.

The greatest marvel of all the rich
possessions of the maharaiah of Baroda
is carpet, about ten feet by six. made
entirely of strings of pearls, with cen

carpet took three years to weave and
cost 92OO.0OO.
Leo Kill, who is an able financier,
has already accumulated considerable
amount of money, which is invested in
foreign stock and deposited in foreign
banks. The money is destined to create
a reserve fund for the interests of the
church.
King Humbert of Italy is forty-two
years old. His face, like ParnelPS. has
a fixed expression of melancholy. He
is brave, courteous, aud devoted to his
only child. boy of fourteen. The king
speaks French as we'll as he does Italian,
and is said TO be charming man to

Queen Victoria will probably confer
the Order of the Garter upon the King

Edinburgh.
Gen. Wade Hampton's father was
probably the largest Shareholder in the

PROFIT SHARING.

At the opening of the year some of
the large manufacturing concerns that
have been experimenting with the
proft-shaTing plan report results. One
of these, very large establishment at
st Louis, reviews the operations of five
years of this reciprocity, OF mutual
feature. In that time 43 per cent has
been paid in wages, besides allowances
as sick benefits and for surplus fund
The past year per cent was paid upon
the stock of the company and 10 per
cent on the annual wages. There has
been in all the years of the experiment
entire harmony between the men and
the employers; no strikes or jarring;
all have labored to make the business
produce the best results. Other cases
are named in which similar conditions
seem to have obtained. The instances
appear to multiply in which this reia-
ton of labor and capital has proved

TWO COLLAPSED TRUSTS.

Two great trusts, with headquarters
at Chicago. have the past week failed to
connect after the preliminary arrange
ments and the gathering into monopo-
istic unity seemed about consummated.
These are the harvester and window
glass combines. 1t is suggestive that
in the latter case the final failure caused
an immediate decline in the price of
glass of per cent and upwards. The
harvester conspiracy attributes its ca
tastrophe, after spending a half-million
dollars or SO IN preparing the machinery
of the trust, to the obstrucuons found
in the statutes of some of the states
covered. Possibly there was diff
Guilty in making the great amount of
stock, stated at S35. 600, 600, commercially
available, but other trusts seem to baye
evaded that sort of discouragement.
The storm of hostility excited, especially
among those who are very influential in
the legislatures where the productions
of the trust would look for their chief
patrons, may have had something to do
with the happy cataclysm. Perhaps in
these bodies minds will be quickened to
devise still other discouragements for
the aggregations of manufacturers and
operators. Although this harvester

BALLOT REFORM.

Among the subjects that Gov. MER-
RAM will treat most forcibly in his
forthcoming message is understood to
be ballot reform. 1t is in fashion with
his guild, and the executive would not
be out OF fashion. In Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois. and pretty nearly every
state that has not already adopted the
reform, the messages of the governors
indorse and recommend it. They speak
of it as essential to the purity of the
elective franchise. The experience
with it i'll the chief cities of this state
has been so satisfactory as to warrant
its extension. 1t is sometimes urged
that in the country districts and small
towns there is little need OF it, but that
discrimination is not found desirable
elsewhere. Politicians and those who
have interests to promote by controlling
votes are at times found outside of
large cities. There is small ex-
pense and trifling inconvenience in

volved in the system. There is a
growing feeling that the permanency
of our institutions is to be secured only
by the freedom and purity of the ballot.
The opposition to the reform is most
notable in the regions where it is be-
lieyed to be most needed. In Pennsyl-
vania the influences that have been in
control there, and still possess the legis-
lature, are unfavorable to it, and its
adoption is in doubt. The great mo-
nopolies have kept their power by COM
pelling their stipendiaries to do them
service at the ballot box. In McKinley's
district, in Ohio, an illustration of
corporation intimidation was had last
fall. The ballot of each of the hun
dreds of employees was reported, and
those who dared vote against the tariff
maker were punished by loss of wages.
But no party dares to stand yi5iblY op-
posed to the reform. and it must soon
become the rule.

Rourbons to the Rear.

Birmingham Age Herald
We believe that this nation will be
better off when such men as Hoar and
Spooner have been permanently retired
from public life. And we go further
and assert that it will be good day for
the country when the younger genera
ton from the North shall meet the
younger generation from the South in
congress. The nation has been sorely
troubled with sectional feuds. The is
sue from which these feuds originated
is dead forever dead. But they have
been given posthumous existence and
projected into the present by the sur
vivlng animosities of the past. Let us
endeavor by every means possible to rid
ourselves of these animosities, and to
that end it would be good idea to
choose our senators and representatives
from the younger class.

SOUTH DAKOTA TALK.

Some irresponsible persons are going
through Iowa. Minnesota, and possibly
other states, begging for alleged drought
sufferers. These people are frauds, and
the people the sWindle should know it.
1t is very unsafe to trust any one not
provided with q certificate signed by
the commissioners of his county.-SiOuX
Falls Argus.
The Indian prediction made last sum-
mer that the grass would be green in
the reservation valleys all winter seems
liable to come true. In the upper val
leys of the Cheyenne the grass is still
green, and even growing, and grazing
for stock is eXcellent.-Pierre Democrat.
The trouble with South Dakota has
been that it was in the hands of an
overwhelming Republican majority who
created superabundance of Offices that
had to be provided for out of the state
treasury. Last winters legislature tried
to make berths for the many ''rising
young statesmen" This winter the
legislature will have to provide for
lower appropriations and lighter public
expenses in obedience to the peoples
demand.-Brule Index.
The judges of the South Dakota SUI
preme court have handed in this de-

an original package. They claim that
when lot of bottles are packed in a
box, the box and not the BOTTLES. is the
original package. How very bright this
is! What does original mean, anyway?
We should naturally believe that an or
iginal package was the parcel or bottle
in which the goods, wet or dry, were
first put up.-Clark Republican.
Moody followers claim his reelection
to the United States senate as a sure
thing. They bank upon getting the as
siStance of enough of the Independent
voters to insure his return. The Inde-

any Independent play the part of traitor
at this critical moment he would have
a warm reception on his return to his
constituents. But such thing is not
probable.-CIark Democrat.

CLARKsoN,s TROUBLE.

CLARKSoN is, perhaps, out of job
since his retirement from the postal
guillotine, and has good deal of time
to work his mouth. He does not gush
like TANNER, but says some things that
are not altogether palatable to his p0
litical persuasion. He is impressed
with the belief that the Republican
press has been losing its hold with the
people, and the great factor in shaping
the public thought and producing po
litical results is largely in antagonistic
service. This seems to him very grave
fact for his party, and he throws out
frequent nuggets of monitory counsel.
He looks back to the time when the
great journals at the centers Of national
life were nearly all sustaining his party.
The reverse is now the fact. His recipe
to reinforce the press" of his party. He
would have the Republican newspapers
more widely diffused, but it is not quite
clear how he would solve the profile m
of inducing the people to take and read
them. In New York, Boston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, st. Paul. Baltimore. and the
other newspaper centers. with rare eX
eeptions, the Democratic and anti-Re-
publican papers have the lead in circula-
tion and influence. This Mr.. CLARKsoN
sees and depIores. How he is to change
the prevailing and growing fact is prob
ably not quite clear to his own mind.
The laws of demand and supply operate
in the production of newsp apers as in
the development of food supplies or
statesmen. The people take and read
the publ cations that contain what they
want. Those in harmony with the gen
eral thought and that advocate the in
terests of the masses will naturally hold
the ground, as intelligence prevails
with the people.
St. Paul daily globe., 1891-01-12
CORPORATIONS.

We see that the West Virginia Bar as
SociatiOn is about to memoriallZe the
states legislature in reference to re-
forming its laws regarding incorpora-
ton. The association says that it is so
easy to form corporation in West Vir-
ginia now. and so little regulation of its
affairs is made when formed, that the
state is becoming the nest of all the
piratieal organizations of the nation.
There was similar opportunity in Min
nesota until the last legislature struck
blow at the enemy by Increasing so very
materially the secretary of states fees
for filing articles of association. Before
that time it was matter of practically
no expense here to equip any three or
more men with corporate powers for any
purpose under the sun, and the work
was so simple that not even the services
of lawyer were necessary.
There has been no change made in
Minnesota as to the freedom with which
franchises can be had, and we presume
that there will not be for the present.
In former time special act of the
legislature was necessary for the for
nation of corporation. This is the
case in some Eastern states still. The
chance for favoritism and corruption in
this method was very great. The objec-
tiOn to our freer plan is that it affords a
cloak for doubtful schemes, and causes
great deal of confused thinking as to
the rights of corporations. These ought
somehow, on our statute books and in
popular thought, to be carefully divided
into two great classes. There are ordi-
nary mercantile corporations, which
are nothing different from commercial
partnerships formed for personal profit
and sharing in none of the prerogatlves
of the state. They can be safely left to
look out for themselves, and the man
who has dealings with them must find
his protection in the same weapons
which he would use IN bargaining with
private individuals. The other class is
made up of those which share to a
greater or less extent in the functions of
the state. Such are railroads, water
works companies, gas companies, tele-
phone companies, insurance asSocia-
tions, banks, and the like. All these
enjoy natural or artificial monopolies,
and are removed from the regulation
which competition affords in the other
sorts of enterprises. The state has del
egated to them part of its duties and
privileges. Such corporations, being the
children of the commonwealth, and
under its tutelage, should be required
to give the utmost publicity to their
condition and methods, and are legally
subject to the closest direction and dis
cipline at the hands of their author.

STATE OPINIONS.

The State Alliance did handsome
thing in electing Miss Eva Mcdonald as
state lecturer. She is bright, smart and
eloquent, with pleasing manners, and
personally attractive. She has, too,
positive convictions, will of her own,
and will never square her views by
those in higher positions. That she
will have many clashes with the presl-
dent we have no doubt, and that she
will not surrender her own views is
equally positive. Had the Alliance
leaders purposely planned to make Mr..
Donnelly's position as president un-
comfortable for him, they could not
have made better Mankato
Review.
The Farmers Alliance made no mis-
take in choosing Miss Eva Mcdonald, of
Minneapolis, for state lecturer. She as
been prominent among labor agitators
for a number of years, and will no doubt
be one of the most ardent workers for
the Alliance cauSe.-Graceville Tran
script.
Perhaps. after all. Donnelly only runs
his political tarce as Sideshow and ad-
vertisement to the main circus, his lit

enough books. Donnelly disposeS of a

If Ignatius does not reach the United

then the labor movement, and now the

for yet another race. Will he succeed?
That remains to be seen. If betraying

If Mr.. Donnelly carries himself in
such a manner as to secure the conf
dence of the members and give the Alli-
ance the confidence of tha public, it
will be an engine of power in January,

Merriam. Fish, ct al. continue, and he
holds to fire-bug policy of melting in
ternal feuds, the Alliance will have a

new leadership before marching for the

ELECT A FARMER,

The members of the Minnesota State
Agricultural society, at their annual
meeting this week, are to be afforded a
rare opportunity to demonstrate that
their society is really being run in the
interest of the Minnesota farmer, and
to silence the oft-repeated cry that its
yearly fairs have degenerated into a
Twin City horse trot." The appoint
ment Of the present efficient and hard
working secretary, Col. W. NJ. LIGGETT,
to a place on the board Of railway COM
missioners necessitates the election Of
new man to fill this responsible Office.
As usual, there are already host of
candidates in the field, but few of whom
know or care anything about farming
or the farmer.
The election of any broken-doWn po-
litical hack to this office at the present
time would be suicidal, in view of the
condition of affairs in the agricultural
society. The confidence and interest of
the farmers of the state must be won by
the society if it is to live and prosper.
and the best way to win this confidence
is to elect secretary who does not live
in either Minneapolis or st. Paul, and.
who possesses the confidence of the
farmers of the state.
There is man being pushed for the
place by his friends, among whom, by
the way, can be reckoned nearly every
farmer in the state, whose election
would do much toward enlisting the
active support and interest of every
farmer in the state in our big annual
fairs. This man is eX-President R. j.
HALL. of the Farmers Alliance. He is
capable, energetic and honest, and, if
elected, would make worthy successor
to that untiring worker, Col. w. NJ. L1G-
GETT.
