ThE MIRACLE 81 IN

The waterpots were filed at Gods behest;
Yet IN the marriage wine no grape was pressed
No tired feet the weary wine press trod
To make this sacred vintage Of our Godl
As nature doth proclaim a power divine.
Each drop Of moisture turned itself to vine.
In spite Of arguments in Jesus met,
The world IS full Of doubling skeptics yet
Believing naught but they themselves have
seen,
They doubt this mirsx5s OF Palestine;
They find the Holy Bible filed with flaws
And pin Tier doubting faith TO natures laws
We scofers OF our sacred Lord. pray tell
Who tinted first the water In the wellf

And gave the oiean waves their constant huef
Whose moisfur raised lnclouds an coloru lack

General Z. f. Burton describes q
novel method Of catching bears prac-
ticed by .he native hunters of India
Four or FIVE sturdy men are armed, two
with long spears, eros barred on the
handles close TO the sharp, two edged
blades, and two or three with ten foot
bamboos, Of which the ends are smear
ed with bird lime.
Thus equipped, and leading several
powerful dogs, the hunters sally out an
hour or so before dawn, and pass along
the base of the hills with the fresh
morning wind blowing up from the
plains below.
If the hunters have luck it Is notlOng
before the fierce dogs wind the bear;
and though dogs of this species hunt
as silent as death, their straining on the
leash informs their masters that the
shaggy game is nigh.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
In the darkness. and soon the roaring
and growing show that they have
found the game. The hunters run up
TO the spot where the bear is fighting
with the dogs.
The men with lined poles poke the
bear in the ribs and adroitly twist the
ends in its long hair, thus holding il
fast on either flank, and the spearmen
complete the tragedy by repeated spear
thrusts. II is said that a party of ex-
perienced men with good dogs never

All attempts, by reported inter
views or otherwise, to make Gov.
Donnelly appear opposed to ''hold-
ing wheat" are false. Mr.. Donnelly is
simply opposed to having it an ALI
ance matter. He insists that the
Minnesota State Alliance has no con-
nection with the matter officially. In
dividually he believes that wheat
should and will command higher
prices, and those who hold their
wheat will reap an advantage in do
ing so. But he holds that there is a
wide difference between personal ad-
vice and official action. And he is
right. The "Reform Press Associa-
ton" has never endorsed the "Cir-
cular."

ries. Sometimes silver isworth more
than gold, standard for standard
it was in 1873, when silver was de-
monetized by a midnight fraud.
No, the government, nor anyone
else, could make 18c. on dollars
worth of silver under free coinage.
The government would buy no silver.
The metal merchant, the refner, the
miner, would take their silver to the
mint, just as he does gold, and it
would be minted for him. 1t would
be already in circulation. Any man
who would pay about CSC. on the
dollar for the bullion metal, and
would get 1OOc. in coin, paying the
government for the work, and COM
mission if a broker is used. If the
government were to quarantine all
eggs, and prevent their being eaten,
eggs would soon be worth less than
sc. a dozen. When the farmers rose
en- masse, and demanded that eating
eggs be made legal again, the doing
so would lift the price again, by re-
storing the use OF eggs. Now, that
would be aiding the farmers by be-
ing just to everybody. But no one
would think OF fighting the restora-
ton Of the egg trade, because the
farmer would get his rights.

Wheat Commerce.

North Dakota proposes to have
something to say about the grading
of wheat. We admire the pluck with
which she insists upon the matter of
doing her own grading, although as
yet we have not become familiar with
the condition of things. 1t seems
that inspection for N. Dakota wheat
will now take place at the state line.
Minneapolis has got a blow in the
neck. As soon as Duluth managed
to get justice from the railroads, get
ting fair rates as terminal she be-
gan to pay more for wheat than Min
neapolis. AS result she got the
wheat. 1t has been pouring in there
in tremendous quantities, and soon,
as we earnestly pray, the Mill-Queen
OF the Mississippi will gnaw on her
own rind. She has been a despot.
She has carved her eighteen million a
year off from the farmers, and did it
by keeping a partner of every grain
firm of Minneapolis in Duluth-and
so unifying prices. Now Duluth Of
fers from three to five cents more
than Minneapolis and gets the trade!

At the Elk. Com. meeting of the
Peoples Party, on the 18th, there
was a committee sent out to verify
the figures OF the GREAT West
showing the astounding difference
OF lac. bushel less this year than
last, in Minneapolis. The commit
tee, H. V. Poore, reported, on return,
our figures lie. too small on Sept.
20, but too large on the 18th, by
1Oc. Other dates we're correct. We
knew there was an errior somewhere,
and would state that MIR. Poore
took his prices from the date of the
paper. But the date OF the paper is
one day later than the market re-
port in it. The date OF the 10Th
was the market of the 18th!
However, our report was of &C.
tual sales, and not newspaper option
quotations, and if 81. V. had looked
down little below the table-report
OF the Board prices, under cold
wheat" quotations, he would have
found quotations of $1.O7 whereas
he used, naturally enough, the CSC.
figure. Our quotations we're found
correct enough-but we offer this
to show to the large number pres
ent that even the one apparent error
was not an error after all.

DR.. Huxuet.

We have not settled down to a full
review OF Gov. Donnelly's new book,
CDR. Huguet." 1t is a novel-but a
work OF fiction which conveys a polit-
ical, and moral, and social lesson.
He takes a most unreasonable, and
improbable, and impossible circum-
stance as having occurred, in order
to place his hero in position to
Judge of the difficulties under which a
black man has to struggle through
out life. This circumstance is the
sudden transpos;tion or change, OF
the mind and being OF DR.. Huguet-an
educated and refined gentleman-in-
to the body and surroundings of a
''low-down" colored laborer, and the
instant change of the colored mans
mind into the body and estate of the
Doctor.
The first few chapters-say 80
pages-are not so interesting to the
average reader of fiction. They are
splendidly written, but they are phil
osophical. A few readers may drop
the book before reading through this
heavy matter. But thereafter the
book grows intensely interesting
both as a story and as a lesson-bear-
er. Some of it's situations are won
derful; and before the reader is one
third the way through it is impossi-
BILE to lay the book down until finish
ed. The plot may make one thing OF
CDR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde" However,
their is no resemblance except that in
each two casts of characters are rep
resented by the same person. No
man can read this work of Gov. Don
nelly's without being a better man
after it's perusal.

The North Dakota Capital takes
issue with our proposition that the
government loans money to the
National Banks at one and two per
cent. and quotes Senator Sherman
as follows: "Under the national
banking act, bank may be made
depository for public money re-
ceived for internal revenues and
sales of public land, but in such cas-
es the bank has to give security in
United States bonds equal to the
amount of such deposits. Well that
is just as we have always stated ity
except that that money is deposited
Qoaned) and no interest charged.
1t is on the issue of the banks that
a tax OF one per cent. per annum is
charged. We are not particular
whether it is called a loan, issue or
deposit. We demand that all classes
of citizens be treated alike if they
offer equal security. Senator Sher-
man says, "These repositories are
not for the benefit OF the banks, but

pie and security OF the government. :"
Senator Sherman knows that is false
and so must the editor OF the Capt.
tai. "For convenience OF the people. :"
Then why not issue it to them direct
on better security? mot for the
benefit of the banks?" and yet the
banks pay nothing for the use of the
money deposited, but draw AZ per
cent. interest on their security and
from 10 per cent. up on the money.
For security of the government"
What bosh, would it not be quite as
safe in the government vaults?"
Sherman may be "a walking encyclo-
pedia Of our national finance sys-
tenn" but he cannot longer fool the
people with such trash as that. We
are inclind to think it was the devil
of the CAPITAL and not the editor
who penned that editorial.-Rura-

ED. GREAT WEST:
1 wish to ask you couple of ques-
tions. The first one is about the
legislature-how they Gid last winter.
Next, how Donnelly abused one of
the men in the meeting My next
one is on the silver question and it
is thuswise: Ii every dollar has 80
cents worth of silver in it, where does
the Is cents go to? Now they saw,
if the poor people, or all the people,
had silver bullion to be made up
into money it would be all right;
but they haven't it and can't get it,
and that it is the millionaires who
own the silver mines that want free
silver, and they want it for the rea-
son that every time the government
coins dollar free for them, it puts
profit of Is cents into their peck
cts. j. B. COPELAND.

history as having done absolutely
nothing for the people at large.

As to the silver question, we answer
that nearly every week. If gold were
demonetized it would drop in value
to half-price. If it we're then remon
etized, up it would come. 1t is helG

gold mines are owned by rich men

but they are not-and we must hav,
