A Timely Hint.

Every merchant says an ex-
change, should use printed sta
tionery, no matter how large or
small business he may be doing.
We lately received a letter from
merchant who had neglected this.
The letter required an answer, but
the signature was written in a
way that made it impossible to de-
cipher it. A direction was made
as near it as possible, and he may
receive the letter, but if be does
the credit will belong to the post
master who must guess at the in
scription. A printed notehead
would have made the name plain ::
would have looked more business
like, and would have cost but a
trife. Country merchants who
neglect these things, be business
men. You have been selling goods
'for q living" Change that this
year. and sell goods for a business.
Then you will wake up, use these
things, and find that at the end OF
the year you have made more
money than you ever did before.
And the best place to get your
printing done is at the Gazette
Office, 46 Merchant street.

WHY WOMEN DON'T MARRY.

Mrs. William c. Whitney, wife
of the ex-Secretary of the L. S.
Navy, thus answers the question of
why more girls do not marry
"Higher education, it seems to
me, is one of the chief reasons why
more girls do not marry. 1t has
made them more independent, and
has qualified them to be more self
supporting. Now that the differ
ent professions are open to them,
they have the broad fields of litera-
ture, and they hold professorships,
and the result of it all is that they
have outgrown the necessity of the
championship of man.
Women formerly were more
romantic than they are now. Their

THE DIFFERENCE.

The true difference between reciprocity
as outlined by Secretary Blaine and free
trade, pure and simple is not clearly
understood by many. The better is UNI
derstood the deeper is the hold it gets
upon the people. The Washington cor
respondent of the Montevideo Leader is
very clear headed on this matter, and
gives the readers of that paper some ex-
he has to say:
Democrats are fond Of saving that
reciprocity is free trade-to limited de-
gree, and they ask if it is such fine thing
why not be consistent and give us I'M
limited reciprocity, or tree trade. The
argument sounds plausible. but it is far
from it. In the first place reciprocity is
not free trade in any sense. whatever.
Men do not pay for that which free, and
no nation can enjoy the privileges of
reciprocity without paying for these
privileges. 1t must pay for all it gets
and pas what it is worth, and if we
choose TO take like privileges in its mar
kets, in lieu of cash, the pay is none the
less and none less desirable. Reciprocity
builds gates in the high walls of protec-
ton that are made to swing both ways,
but she holds the keys and opens them
country to do so and opens them only to
those countries that have paid for the
privilege of coming in. Free trade would
destroy the gates and tear down the
walls and bid our enemies and our friends
to come in and possess and destroy.
Reciprocity opens our ports only to
pete with our own in our own markets.
Free trade ignores all such considerations
and says there shall be NO restrictions
either upon nations or upon their pro-
ducts; each and all of them can make
such use as they see fit of our markets.
RECIPROCITY discr:minates between what
we need and what we do not need, and
sattempts to prescribe specifically for our
.iailments. Free trade would gulp down
the entire materia medica and call it the
proper treatment. Reciprocity exercises
the utmost care in preserving our own
/, valuable markets to our own producers,
while it secures to us additional markets
abroad for our surplus products. Free
trade ignores our own markets or treats
them as the common property of the
world. Reciprocity gets value received
for what it gives, and takes its pay in
something it wants. while free trade gives
away all it has that is valuable and gets
back nothing that the other nations
care TO keep.

Beaten to Death.

A sad accident occurred near Month
cello last week, which resulted in the
death of a thirteen year old SON of Mrs.
F. B. Fillmore. 1t seems that the lad
had been accustomed to go up and play
around the windmill, and at this time
while up there he gotcaught in some way
and before he could be rescued was act
ually beaten to death. In trying to save
the little fellow an older brother was
knocked senseless, and his mother got
her clothes caught in the mill and they
had to be cut away by the hired man. Be-
fore the mill could be stopped the boys
legs were beaten off and the broken bones
fell to the ground. The sad accident has
caused deep gloom to settle over Big
Lake and Monticello. Howard Lake

TWIN CITY CENSUS.

THE curtain was rung down on the
last scene of the great Minneapolis ecu
sus squabble, few days ago, when
Ed. Stevens and the man Dickey appear
ed in court and were fined, the latter $500
and Stevens $4,000. The cases against
the enumerators will be dismissed with
out trial. The Minneapolis papers have
little to say on the subject. When these
men plead guilty, Minneapolis practically
admitted all that st, Paul charged her
with. The so-called census annex" was
probably the most gigantic fraud known
to census history. 1t was laid out by a
master hand, and the scheme was work
ing most beautifully when the st. Paul
officials brought matters to sudden
termination. st. Paul, not to be out

he couldn't hope to catch up: therefore
rather than be beaten. he gave the whole
snapaway. The recount necessarily gave
the cities smaller population than they

Sunday Laws.

California is one of few states which
have no Sunday laws. Previous to 1883
it had such law, but in the year 1882
as the result OF an attempt to enforce it
to the letter, thecourts were fairly flooded
with cases of prosecution for its VIOLA
ton. This brought the matter forcibly
to the attention of the people, and in
the fall of that year it was made the is
sue Of the state campaign. The republi-
cans espoused the law and the demo-
Gratis repudiated it. AS result the
hitherto republican state went over II,
500 democratic. and the religeous-med-
dlesome law was repealed by the legisla-
ture of 1888, since which time c california
has been without Sunday law. The
friends Of such laws, however, are not
content to let it remain so, but are en-
deavoring to have the law re.enacted.
The Chicago Weekly chronicle-Record
of Dec. Is. 1890 prints the following
comments upon the matter: An effort
will be made to have the California Leg
islature pass Sunday law. Strange to
say, this movement has its headquarters
in New York and is ia :hered by the Am
erican Sabbath Union, an offspring of
the Reformed Presbyterian church. This
church does not permit any of its MEM
bers to hold Office in this country because
the national constitution does not men,
tion the name of their deity. This is no
doubt to the advantage of the country.
That part of religious history written
with the blood of martyrs shows that
from time immemorial, legislation fer
Christ's sake has been the work of the
devils ambassadors. Christ himself din
not escape. A religion that needs the
strong arm of the state to support it
should be abandoned in the interest of
good government. Morality cannot be
legislated into any man or community.
| When the Reformed Presbyterian or
any other church seeks the aid
of the state to sustain and promulgate
its tenets, it confesses its own weakness
and unworthiness. while it merits and
secures the contempt of ali thinking peo-
pie. We believe in observing the Sabbath
in our own way and logically must con-
cede the same privilege to our neighbor.
Thisis the substance of theentire ques-
ton: IF this is afree religious country,
why should we not haveit so?" Arenot
the other religious sects of as much i'm
portance as the one mentioned1 There
