HANNIBAL HAMLIK.

Hannibal Hamlin died on the na-
TONS 115th birthday. He was old
enough to enter college, though kept
at home by domestic eXigencies on
that 18Th anniversary Of the same
great event which was strangely
commemorated by the deaths OF
John Adams and jefferson, the two
first party leaders Federal and
Republican, OF the country's politi-
cal history. He was old enough to
edit country newspaper when
James Monroe died on the both
Fourth Of July. His fist service in
the Senate was with Webster and
other "giants ~ of the eXp0unding
oratorical, or, in plain English
slack jawn period Of national
growth, and his death removes the
last of Lincoln'S immediate and
prominent advisers. Thus was his
remarkable longevity a living link
between the youth OF the courtry's
second century and the three great
epochs of it's first. Boru in the same
year with Gladstone, and 4 months
his senior, the American was
continuously in public lie for nearly
the halt century winch the English
statesman rounded nine years ago,
and, like him, held Office for life
time without once sacrificing princi-
pies for power ul cmoiumentS. In
the words OF the great Frcnchmau

NO 500 FOR $40.

The arrest and prosecution ofsome
OF the officers OF the short-term
associations throw flood
of light upon a speculative craze
that has demoralIzed legitimate bus
mess all over the country, and prov
ed as ruinous 20 many investors as
the graveyard insurance mania
some years ago.
The alluremcnt is the temptation
of making money fast. The principle
is that "the lapses pay the profits,
and whenever the increase of mem
berShip won't make up for the lapses,
then the financial sky rocket comes
down with an unwelcome sound.
Somebody must lose for somebody
to make. The principle is dishon-
est; it is gambling. The officers, or
at least few head officers and or
ganizers, make the money. When
the money don't come fast enough
they heap on assessments; and
when that fails, rtorganize under
other schemes without giving the
membership any say in the mat ter
except to comply With the new reg
ulatious or forfeit their membership
The intervention Of the law will
clear this speculative atmosphere
and open the eyes OF the people.
The sound aud reliable will stand
the test the fraudulent will go down
1t will not return the hundreds Of
thousands of dollars Withdrawn from
legitimate trade and business, but
it will be wholesome lesson of ex
pericnee in the future.
The srrest and safest plan in
all such investments is to chose
home companies and organizations
the officers Of which you know, and
the laws of which hold them respon
sible. AS long as your money is at
home under investment it is safe
except from unforeseen calamity.
All is not lost that is in danger
but the risk should not be greater
taan the gain and should be shared
by those who live on the tat salaries
OF course if you want to run the
risk of specializing, you may make
500 on $40 or $50, and yon may
lose lt,-it is your own look ont.
We have home lodges, home so
cietles, home organizations, home
business, stand by these and le
the city sharper alone with his little
one hundred for $40 scheme.

is THERE SYMPATHY FOR THE FAIL
LEN

Some time ago the Baltimore Sun
had commendable article on
" True Sympathy. When anything
happens to man or woman in pub
lie life,-any error Of the heart or
hand,-any fall from grace or favor,
the world readily responds, +" am
sorry to hear it," True sympathy
is help in time OF ueed,-moral, So
eial, religious or pecuniary, as the
case may be. True symptthy does
not kick down aud reproach and
condemn the unfortunate. 1t helps
the fallen to rise. 1t sustains them
in misery. The rlle of the world Is
sympathy and friendship in sunshine
and success, and turns cold and
cruel in misfortune aud failure. It's
SO easy to criticise it costs nothing
and is becoming popular.
Bardsley, the Phila. treasurer, in
his honest days, had a host of
friends and every friend had favor,
none more SO than the newspapers.
Now there are no more fierce de.
nouneers than the press. 1t helps
to cover up other peoples sins. 1t
helps to shield the unconyicted. The
whole load can now safely be pack.

Maryland was as honest aud popu

and Maryland sentiment were tenn

Public thieves in the great cities
and even in governments are plenty
The world knows it. But they are
shielded by party or church Or socie
ty. These authorities are condoning
their crimes and sharing the profits

criminal if exposure comes. All the
powers that now be will then crush
the violators of the law.
"The severest test of friendship

North Dakota Frost Record.

The Devils Lake Inter-Ocean has a
record Of thh weather statistics taken
at Fort Totten by the government OBJ
server from 1874 to 1884-ten years.
The earliest killing frost in that time
on September 7, 1888. In 1884 the first
frost was on October 6. In the ten
years there is no record of frost in Aug
ust, but since that time the country has
twice been visited by August frosts-
in 1885 about the 18th and in 1888 on
the 9th and 9th. There many not be
frost in August this year, but with the
present magnificent crop in sight, it
will pay farmers to prepare for it Just
the same. Experience has shown that
frost can be guarded against by sur
rounding the fields with fires. There
is an abundance of grass this year and
one or two days work with a mower
and hay rake will give every farmer all
material needed for fighting frost.
Now is the time to make preparations.
