Robert G. Ingersoll once had a case
tried before Peoria Nll.) Judge, who
was an old friend. Ingersoll scored the
Judge in his keenest rhetoric for rul-
ing he made and the judge fined him
$40 for contempt of court. The story
goes that .'Bob'' wentthrough his pock-
cts, and, not finding anything, paralyzed
every body by stepping up to the bench
and saying: "Lend me a ten, old man.''
The Judge was dumbfounded. Then
his features relaxed, and turning to the
clerk said: Il Remit that fine. The peo-
pie of this county can better afford to

Island, Nebraska, wherein the latter
states that he will be in St. Paul this
week with view to investigating the
advisability of establishing beet sugar
factory here. Mr.. Oxnard advises the
Legislature to offer bounty of one
half cent per pound for beet sugar man

The difference between the North and
South is that here the people have con-
fidence in their institutions. There self
government is but shield for misgov-
ernment. The state governments are
founded on fraud and violence, and the
violation of the constitutional rights of
the colored race, and it is not strange
that but little trust is reposed IN the ef-
fectiveness of such a system to protect
the lives and property of citizens. Two

Sueur, Northfeld and other towns in
that section, that it IS not worth while to
talk about building railroads in Minne.s
sofa in face of pending railroad legisla-
ton. The legislature is serious mem
ace to the business interests of the state
in a great variety of ways. Speed the
day when it will expire by limitation
and can no longer disturb the business
conditions, and embarrass the industri-
al and commercial interests of the peo.
pie by foolish and mischevious medd-

drastic provisions of the pending bill.

The owner of money must have an agent

he performs in connection with loans.
By the collusion of a dishonest agent
with dishonest borrower, the owner
of money can be robbed of his capital,
under the provisions of the bill, with

being liable to prosecution and punish

IF you want to reform and benefit the
fallen you must cheer them up and feed
them. and comfort them with the good
things of earth. This holding out that
they will get their reward in the other
world, does not satisfy an empty stom-
ach or a thinly clad body. The better
people live in this world, the better they
are prepared for the next, and Of late
years there has been wonderful broad

the country. Humanity has better
