THE PARSONS CORNER.
A. PARSON EDITOR.

IHE CHRISTIAN STATESMAN. 1T
is rare that a man fills such i'm
portant positions in the govern
ment for so many years with as
little criticism as has the late Sec-
rotary of the Treasury, William
Window. The following tribute
by his pastor, DR.. Hamlin, of the
Congregational church, at Winona,
is of more than ordinary interest.
II have known Mr.. Window
we'll for more than twenty years,
and he was the most consistent
Christian that I have ever known
in public life. Mr.. Window was
as far from being a weak senti-
mentalist on the one hand as he
was from being narrow dogmat-
ist on the other. He was devout,
unostentatious follower of Christ.
His piety lay deep and strong.
About year ago he said to his
wife (and it sounded almost like a
prophecy: Lest I may go and
leave you without opportunity to
say this, [ want you to have the
comfort of knowing that if I we're
to die to-day it would be in the
sure and certain hope of a blessed
Immortality. That hope is based
not on any worthiness of mine,
but solely on my abiding trust in
my living Redeemer."
THOSE HOMELESS CHILDREN
Rev. E. P. Savage, superintend-
ent of the Children's Aid Society of
Minnesota, was in Princeton over
Sunday, Feb. 8th, and interested
all who heard him in the welfare
of the. children who are so unfortu-
nate as to be without homes or
natural protectors.
He spoke in the M. E. church
in the morning, and in the Congre-
gational in the evening.
The following incident is one of
the many interesting things he
told us of.
''Does it pay to care for the
homeless little ones? Let the re-
cent incident answer. A few days
ago the superintendent of the
Children's Aid Society Of Mime
Fsota boarded&sthe train at Fargo
with a little waif two months old.
The interest of gentleman was
aroused, and he inquired into it.
It was explained that the child
was a homeless little one, being
taken to be placed in good home
in some worthy family. The gen.
tleman in the course of conversa-
ton said: MY name is Burke.
My mother died at my birth, and
my father when I was four years
old. The New York Children's
Aid Society took care of me till I
was eight years of age, and then
with "a others | was taken to
Indiana and placed on farm. At
twelve l enlisted as drummer
boy in the 18th Indiana and went
through the war. Now I am
Governor of North Dakota. If
there are any people for whom I
have profound respect, they are
those who have the patience to care
for the homeless little ones. Call
on me if I can ever be of service
to you in your work. You may
apply to me at any time you wish.
Doubtless some of the little ones
now being cared for will become
the honored men and women, per-
haps the governors of the future. y

Protect the Wolves.

Farmers are complaining a good
deal about wolves killing sheep
lately. Some of our local sports
could find good hunting in the big.
woods if they had the time and
ability to track this kind of game.
DR.. Shrader reports being within
gunshot of a very large wolf on the
Buffalo road last week, but unfor-
tunately he was without a weapon
or he might have made the expense

PerniniOuS LEGISLATION.

Traffic in legislation is, we re-
gret to say, a besetting sin.
BY traffic in legislation we mean
combination among members to
support each Others measures re-
CARELESS of the merits of what is
presented.
Almost every member has a sup
ply of pet measures of his own,
known in vulgar parlance as
''woodchucks." Among them are
some meritorious schemes, some
fairly good and others positively
bad.
It is the latter class which are
traded through because they can
not stand on their merits. A few
members of the legislature get to-
gether and agree to scratch the
back and tickle the ears of each re-
spectively, on any legislation which
any of them may desire. They
will then singly select this and that
member outside of their ring to
make a similar trade with.
The result is that a combination
is soon made up, which will sweep
everything before it. It will not
only pass the worst legislation pos
sible, but will defeat the best, and
only such measures as can get into
the dirty pool can hope to be Sc
cured.
It renders it so that nothing
stands on it's merits.
This class of legislation is even
worse than that which is purchased
for absolute cash, for that, as a
rule, is confined to a single meas
ure effecting only a single interest,
while the traffic style of doing bus
mess sweeps everything and any
thing into its NAV with no limit
upon the evil done.
There are decided indications
that this besetting sin has a firm
grasp on the present legislature
