HEIGHT OF CRUELTY.

Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy
they deserve. While often the pictures of
health. they are constantly ailing. To withhold
sympathy from these unfurtunatCs is the height
OF cruelty. They have a weak heart, causing

believing at the time of ordering
the Withdrawals that these lands
were in a state Of reservation,
specially excluded them from said
order. The number of entries re-
lieved from suspension on account
of conflicting with the railroad

The railroad companies may ap-
peal to the secretary of the interior
within sixty days, and will no
doubt do SO, and the final decision
in the matter will thus be deferred
for a time. AS the secretary made
these causes special by his decision
OF Jan. 9, 1891, it is probable that
he will consider the appeals at
once when presented to him. The
decision was prepared by Charles
H. Babbitt, who has charge of
Minnesota railroad cases of this
character, and is very likely to
meet the approval Of the secretary.

Study the Bible in Church and by
the Home FireSide.

Another class affrms that our
schools are goddess because the
bible is not read in them, which is
wholly an erroneous idea. Intelli-
gence leads to the study of creation
and the Creator. As the child
pursues its studies, as its mind is
awakened to inquiry, it invariably
gets back to first causes. True, it
may not reach proper conclusions,
and it may not if you put the
bible before it and bible in each
hand. Our schools fare not god
less, but lead the developing boy
and girl upward in thought and
stimulate inquiry into religious
questions. The school ought to be
training place for the physical,
mental and moral well being of the
child. The home, and the church
are where the religious training
should begin. In such places the
teacher should know his business.
In the day school he or she may
not know it. Western Ru7'al.

In conclusion, / do not believe
any system of taxation of mort
cages can be invented without in
juring the borrower more than the
lender, or driving lenders out of
the State, and then how can we re-
new our mortgages, for there is
not one in ten that can be paid
when due? The only salvation I
can see for the debtor class is to
increase the volume of currency to
such an extent that it will seek in
vestment as it has in times past.
Of course, our eastern friends
will object to that, because as
money is commodity it will de-
crease in value in proportion to it's
increase of quantity. But s'turn
about is fair play; they have gone
about far enough, it is our turn
now. G.. H. CHADBURNE.

A "REMINISCENCES.
How Minnesota Was Stolen from
Blaine in 1SSO-Will History
RRDRat Itself in 1900

Blaine in 1SSO-Will History
Repeat Itself in 1892?
The Minneapolis Tribune, under
its new proprietorship, has taken
down the Blaine flag which has
stood at it's mast head for several
months. This is confrmatory of
the report that Harrison was de-
lighted over the sale of the Zri6-
e1,ee and the prospect Of ex-senator
Pierce becoming the editor of the
paper. In that case he counted on
having stalwart friend and hoped
to secure Minnesota in the next
National convention.
At first thought this might seem
foolish on the part of President
Harrison, but when one reviews
the political history of Minnesota,
there is nothing surprising in the
president feeling that there is an
opportunity for his securing the
delegation from this State, though
the popular sentiment in the Re-
publican party is overwhelmingly
favorable to Mr.. Blaine.
Minnesota is really responsible
for Blaine not having been already
president of the United States, and
at the same time it is probably
within bounds to say that eighty
per cent of the Republican party
in Minnesota are, and always have
been, since Mr.. Blaine has been a
presidential candidate, favorable
to him.
The scheme by which Minnesota
was taken from Blaine in 1880 was
by bringing out Mr.. Window as a
S'favorite SON. and the ''Windom
Ten'' vote which stood recorded in
the Chicago convention, if it had
been cast for Mr.. Blaine and ac-
companied by such earnest work
as Minnesota politicians can render
when their heart is in the cause,
would have secured him the NOM
nation instead of Garfeld.-St.
Paul NeaUs.

Filings Made Prior to 1888 May be All
Right-The Railroad Companies Made
Their Selections in 1884.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
March 19-Acting Commissioner
Stone, Of the general land Office.
has rendered a decision respecting
the question of railroad rights to
lands in the Mile Laos Indian res
ervation in Minnesota, holding
that the lands in odd sections lying
within the granted limit of the
Northern Pacific and not embraced
in the settlement claims of any
kind at the date of the definite
location of the line of road (Nov.
81, 1884, pass to the government.
The lands falling within said
limits are fractional sections 5, 7,
II, 10, part of fractional section
21, and the north half Of section
20. Of these fractional sections, 81
is held to be excepted from the
railroad grant by the claim of
Shaw Bosk King, the Mile Laos
chief, which was confirmed by the
secretary of the interior in 1867.
The total quantity of land
awarded to the railroad company
by this decision is 1860 acres.
All other lands in the former res
ervation are in the indemnity
limits of the Northern Pacific and
part of them in the thirty mile in
demnity limit of the St. Paul &
Duluth, the limits of the two con-
flicting as to the latter.
The acting commissioner holds
that none of these lands we're with
drawn for railroad purposes, and
that the railroad companies have
only the same RICH to take them as
is vested by the law in all persons,
the superiority of right being de-
termined by the priority of legal
initiation of lawful claims. Nearly
all of the odd sections in the in
demnity limits of the roads are en-
braced in soldiers additional home
stead entries made in 1879, while
the earliest application by the
Northern Pacific to select them
was in 1883, and by the St. Paul &
Duluth in 1884. '-s. 49,.
APPLICATIONS REJECTED.
The railroad applications for
these lands are rejected because of
conflict with the said entries. The
acting commissioner does not pass
upon the validity Of any of the adj
ditional entries, leaving that ques-
ton for future determination, each
case to be considered on its own
merits. Nor does he express an
opinion respecting the question of
superiority Of right between the
two companies as to lands not
covered by entries in the respect
i've dates Of their applications to
select the same.
The rule that the indemnity
lands were not withdrawn is based
upon the fact that neither of the
granting acts directed the with

Mr.. Mansfield in his impersonation of the most
famous of fops scored great artistic success.
None of the great men of his day was better
known than Beau Brummell, for he was not
only the most picturesque, but at the same time
the most conspicuous parsonage in British
social life from the restoration to the early days
of Victoria's reign. He was the best example
in history of human vanity, and though mild
exist to day, they are less aggressive than the
original and have earned the then unknown
title of "dudes." Brummell carried his super
cilious airs and graces so iauntily that he was
often mistaken for gentleman, though his was
a boorish nature; he was not heroic nor chival-
rous, and probably Mr.. Mansfield knew this as
well as any one when he decided to essay the
role of the eccentric court favorite.

the United States, South America, Japan, China,
Australia, and India, possibly touching at Cairo
on the way home.
Lawrence Barrett's success in Oscar Wilde's
drama, 'Guido Ferranti,' has been such as to
warrant him in giving the piece permanent

This is reported to be Louis James's last season
