To Our Readers.

This is the time of the year when our
readers are wondering which is the best
periodical in the United States for them
to subscribe for during the coming year.
We unhesitatingly recommend them to
take the independent. it is by far the
largest, the most instructing and the
most interesting weekly newspaper pub
lished in this country, Of not in the
world. 1t has regularly SO folio pages,
but it increases the number frequently
to SO and 40, and sometimes even to 4S
pages. These are filled with the best
articles, stories and poems that this
country and Europe can furnish. Every
conceivable topic OF religious, political,
social and liter ary interest, is fully and
freely discussed. 1t has q score OF de-
partments, embracing nearly all branches
of human interest. The independent is
above all things family newspaper,
and as SUCH we recommend it to you
We would at least advise that you send
thirty cents in postage stamps for a
months trial of The paper. That will
fully pursuade you to subscribe The
yearly subscription priceis So 90. or. if
a club of five be formed, ouly $500 a
year each.

coad T.uck for 1907.

The last few days of 1891 reminds us
that that il is a pleasant custom among
friends to wish each other, at the advent
of New Year, happiness and prosperity
for the coming months. Just why our
good wishes should be any more feryent
at the beginning ofthe year than at any
other period, it would be hard to say;
certainly our friends need good fortune
at one time as well as another. But
whatever the reason or unreason OF 1t,
"Tle Burlington believes it a custom to
be hoaored and therefor very cordially
wishes lis friends and patrons and the
public generally, a HAPPY New Year. :"
AS oar particular friends arc the travel
ing public. we would elaborate little
by hoping that, by whatever line you
journey, your trains will run without
accident and make good time; your way
lie through lovely scenery; your trip be
one of comfort in Pullman Sleepers and
reclining chair cars; your meals be en-
joycd on dining cars whose cuisine is
peerless, and your baggage be safely de-
livered If you travel by other lines, we
hope for the above good luck; if you use
"The Burlington" weknowit will beso.

An Appeal.

Gov. Merriam has issued the following
circular which tells its own melancholy
story:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, st. Paul,
Mimi, December 9Th, 1891.
The attention of the charitable peo-
pie of Minnesota is hereby called to the
duty devolying upon them of taking
some prompt and efficient steps to send
aid to the starving people OF Russia.
The facts regarding the widespread
restitution in that empire, are already
quite we'll known, having been published
widely in the journals of. our state; and
the statements have been confirmed by
official information received at the de-
partmeuts of the general government.
There are, it seems certain, twenty mil
lion people in Russia who are to-day in
a destitute condition, and large ma
jority of them absolutely suffering tor
food at the beginning OF a long and severe
/ winter. Tine distress and suffering which
must eusue, unless these millions OF I'M
oItrna tes receive speedy relief from some
other nation, is terrible to contemIllte
ar, appeals to the sympathy and gen.
crosby of humane people everywhere.
Something must be done at once, or the
suffering in Russia will lie appalling, and
perhaps whole populations will die OF
hunger and disease. A recent writer in
the Illustrated American, speaks OF the
famine as follows:
In one village of $50 families, forty
seven people died of hunger i'll a fort
night. Reports OF terrible suiteTngs
come also from the province OF famhow.
Travellers say that all along the railroad.
and especially around the stations. are
crowds of housands-gaunt, hungry.
living. They have abandoned their
homes, where the last cruulb has been
eaten, and have flocked in despair to the
raih Dad. recognizing in it the one INK
that unites them with the prosperous
world outside. Therethe beg piteously
of all passengers. and there they are dy-
ing and being buried by their dying copl-
rades where they fall. In Samara only
two per cent of the people have VIII
ter's supply Of food, and more than one
third of the inhabitants are absolutely
destitute"
This country. overlooking as it is with
plenty, should not forget that Russia be-
frisnded us in the time of oar dire dis
tress. We are more favorable situated
perhaps, than any other nation. to aid
these starving people. Oar harvest have
been uaexampled; our surplus at food
products unprecedented. Prosperity
abounds on every hand, and we should,
as humane peop!s. give our unfortun-
ate fellow beings in far away Russia,
some of the surplus substance which
Almighty God has showered upon us.
