REAE-ADMIRAL LUCE in the last number of
the North American Review upbolds With
great earnestness the necessity Of war, ex-
pressing the opinion that arbitration. as .an
international method OF settling disputes. is
impracticable. The Rear Admiral only re-
iterates the views Of Bismarck. that man Of
blood and iron, who long ago declared that
in the absence Of war people gradually fall
into enervated habits and lose the robustness
of manhood It is unfortunate for our generals
and admirals who believe so firmly in the
moral utility of blood letting that the United
States is so powerful that no single nation on
the globe dares to enter into contest with
her. 1t must seem but q tame business to
warlike mind to find the only outlet for its
bloody aspirations in pennins sanguinary
articles for monthly reviews at 80 much a

s Distressing Famine.

Not famine in Ireland. nor in In
dia. but right here in the Northwest.
and right at the close OF season of
surprisingly bountiful crops. Neither
is it famine of bread, but. instead, d
famine OF cars. which, under some
circumstances, is almost as serious,
for when cars are scarce it is hard to
get supplies of coal. etc. The extent
of the crops throughout the West and
Northwest has created heavy de-
mand for cars, and the supply thus
far has scarcely been equal TO the de-
mand. However, in the matter of
passenger equipment, the st. Paul
& Duluth is never at loss to give its
army of patrons just exactly what
they need, and to that fact is due the
decreasing popularity of the Duluth
Short Line. This popular route ex-
tends from the Twin Cities to the
head of the big lake, with numerous
branches. and is the line ali should
take when travelling in that direction.
for it has splendid trains running on
quick time over an admirable road
bed. and makes close connections Tor

WORLDS FAIR VIEWS.
As voiced BY lac Pres Of the Sac.

Dodge county's apportionment
based upon population and taxa Ole
property is 500.
Yet in Justice TO the state each coun-
ty should raise the amount designat-
ed. which would be, in taxation, a
seyenteeu-hundredt Of one mill on
the dollar. The only way we can see,
as far as this county is concerned, TO
raise the necessary funds, is for few
public-spirited citizens TO promptly
undertake and energeuically push this
matter to finish. on some well devils
ed plan. free from political bias, but
with a purpose that will rebound TO
the credit Of the county. We will be
pleased TO hear from citizens on this
ubject.-.D0dge Go, Republican.
What is Murray County going to do
about raising her proportion. $500 OF
the 500. 900, that The Minnesota
Worlds Fair Commission is asking
for. to make an exhibit for our state?
We suggest that a meeting be called.
and the county be divided into dis
tricts. the same as the state is. and
some one appointed to pass the hat in
each for contributions. Twenty men
could raise the amount in one day at

see. The canyaSserS could be paid fOI

DESTROYED BY SILENCE,
The Unique Ending of an Ancient City of
 LaCnnia.

The Unique Ending of an Ancient City of
 Laconia.
 Amycle, if the old legend of its fate is to be relied upon, actually perished through silence. The legend concern ing the unique end of this ancient city is as follows: Amycl@ was town of Laconia, founded by the Lacedemonian king, Amycle. It was an independent city for many years, but was finally conquered by the Spartans. The city had been so often alarmed by false rumors of projected Spartan invasion that at last, weary of living in state of absolute terror, it was decreed that it should be made public offense to re- port the approach of an enemy. So, when the Spartans at last actually ap- peared before the city, no one dared to warn the officials of their approach, and thus they were able to take the town with scarce an effort. There is, it must be admitted, another silence" myth concerning Amycl@. Servius says that the city was founded by Pythagoreans, forbidden by laws of their order to speak or to harm ser pents. The result was that the snakes from the hills sought the precincts of the city, and, no one daring to speak of it to his neighbor or to harm the slimy creatures, one by one the inhabitants left until finally the city was complete ly turned into snake den.

 Resolutions were passed, calling Tn $500 of general fund and $500 of con tingent fund warrants after transferring from funds, monies of nc use to such funds sufficient to make the amounts. This will wipe out another $3O0O of indebtedness and places the city's debt atsfess than $l0,0O0.

4 SAMARITAN PIG.
The Remarkable Reasoning Power Dis.

The Remarkable Reasoning Power Dis.
 played by a Sow.
 Like the goose the pig is much maligned animal, It is taken for granted that they are both stupid to the core, and in consequence no one will make pets of them, and endeavor to find whether they really have any sense. Perhaps there is a prejudice against swine because they are so homely, but that is no reason why they should be slandered. For instance, here is a story of a good Samaritan pig: A Penn sylvania farmer missed one of his hogs, and for three days was unable to find him. On the third day, the hired man, while feeding the pigs, saw a SOW take an ear of corn in her mouth, trot across the lot and disappear in the thick under. brush. She returned in about an hour and the man told hls employer of the occurrence, and the SOW was closely watched when the drove was fed again. She ate her dinner, and then took big ear of corn in her mouth and again started for the underbrush. She was followed quietly to little hollow in the wood, where the missing hog was dis covered. One of his hind legs was ,held fast by the stout and springy roots of hickory tree, between two closely growing forks of which he had stepped, and which had spread under his weight md then closed on his leg like a wise. The ground about was covered with ,orncobs, showing how the SOW, which lad evidently been present when the accident had occurred, had cared for the prisoner. But for her he certainly would have perished, as he never could nave escaped from the trap he was in.

A Hard-Headed Negro,

In Williamstown, Mass, lives a nepro whose claim to be one hundred and one years old does not constitute the whole of his right to fame. He was born with an extra hard head and a horn over an inch in length on the front bone, and unremitting practice soon made his brain box terrible weapon.

THE commander in chief of the C.. A. R. in his opening address in Detroit, favored the creation of departments for colored veterans, much to the sur prise of all concerned. It only goes to show that to force social recognition of the negro upon the whites in the south is getting to be considered an impossible task.
