TonoNro, ONE, August % Referring
to President Harrison's proclamation
imposing toll on vessels passing
through the sault Ste. Marie cana, the
Empire government organ says:
"The spirit in which the present ac.
ton is taken is certainly an untriendly
one, and will not tend to increase cor
diality Of feeling between the two
countries. We doubt whether public
opinion in Canada will approve OF any
concession in this matter in order to se-.
cure an amicable arrangement with q
country which seems to have as little
regard for international comfy as for
solemn treaty engagements. There
will be tendency to think that the
government ought in a dignitied man
rler to hold on to the course they have
announced, even II they have for the
balance Of the season to make some
arrangement TO reimburse the Canadian
shippers who have entered into con-
tracts which this retaliation will dis
arrange, rather than yield to the etig-
gestion now made"

Our Minnesota Letter.
LAKEWOOD, Oct. Both. 1S9

LAKEWOOD, Oct. Both, 1892.
To the Editor Of the Banner.-MY DEAR
SIR,-I stayed another month in the prai-
RE after the threshing was over and per-
haps some one may be interested in some
of my experiences. One day spent with
a potato digger that was full work for
four sUrong horses, if the ground was Or
dinarily hard. 1t takes eight men gener-
ally to pick up after the machine, but
they can dig eight acres in day, and to
keep it going where the potatoes turned
out well it would be quick work for ten
or twelve men, according to circum-
stances. The machine costs SIPS at the
shop, and one that the owner said had
probably dug 200 acres, was about worn
out. 1t consists of a shovel pillow in
front that is run so as to scoop up all the
tubers and they are pushed back onto a
sort of crate that lets the dirt sift
through. In the middle are fingers that
are in motion clawing the weeds and
vines back so as to shake the dirt and pO-
tatoes out and leave all on top of the
ground and the rubbish and vines little
to one side.
One night | spent with the hay makers
In camp on the bottom lands of the Min
nesOta river, where they have to stack
the hay and wait for winter to pave the
road for them to haul 1t off to market
then the .aen go in companies of ten or
ffroen with their sleighs and follow down
the river TO Fort Smelling, where they
seek the road on the higher level off to
the city. In the Minnesota bottom land
there are plenty of wild grapes, hops and
elder berries. l was surprised at the
siz,, If some of the box elder trees. At
thn fairy here we crossed, some ten
miles up stream from the Fort, the river
has the appearance OF being r,.C.rrly as
large as the Father of Waters" and It's
color reminded me of the meaning of the
name which is variOusly rendered, mud
dy or cloudy water" and 'sky-Colored
water" l think the latter rendering
must be nearer the original idea of the
Indian word for the Sioux, called Mis-
souri, river, Minneshosha-muddy water.
The Sioux word Minne-water, seems to
have met with quite popular favor in our
local names here.
Let us take trip back through the
prairie again to pick up few botanical
notes. One weed that was quite promi-
nent in grain fields was sort of wild
rose that never seems to grow more than
a foot of two high, but its petals are very
brilliant though single and when they
drop the seed balls take an extraordinary
start and grow to the size of thorn apples
an are brilliant red, being the most
conspicuous thing about the shrub dur
ing its whole growth. They were full of
seeds. A troublesome vine is known as
wild buckwheat and ground cherries, or,
as they are sometimes called, wild toma-
toes, are common, and some of them get
large enough to be good eating. have

law as you think it should be, but what
it is. We have told you what the ST.
preme Court of the United States says
the law is, and that is the law you want
to know. If any man on this jury thinks
he knows more than the Supreme Court
of the United States, of course he will
stick to his opinion. 1t is a shame, how
knowledge should waste his time in the
jury-box."
Upon this the jury retired and shortly
assessed the defendants, Colonies Haw-
kins and Streator, half the costs.

SERVED JAMS RIGHT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5th,-The Iams case,
which has been on trial for week, an
unusual thing in the case of a charge of
assault and battery, was concluded yes
terday and given to the jury last evening.
Judge Porter in his charge said, among
other things: IF Colonies Hawkins and
Streator in shaving the head of Tams and
drumming him out Of camp obeyed the
orders Of superior officer, they cannot
be convicted of assault and battery.
Your verdict in the charge against As
sistant Surgeon Grimm must also be not
guilty. 1t was the duty of the officers to
maintain proper discipline, and if any
feeling of insubordination arose it was
their right and duty to punish such Of
tenders. II the officers believed it was
necessary to so punish Iams in order TO
maintain discipline and good order, they
were justified in so doing, and they can
not be held accountable in any civil
COURT
When court opened this morning the
jury had not agreed, and sent question
in writing to Judge Porter. In response
the Judge said:
1.-THE subject Of your inquiry is wholly
immaterial on the question. 1t cannot
enter into this case. Any other action
between these parties cannot enter into
this case. AS to the instructions given
you in the assault and battery to find the
defendants not guilty, / propose you shall
obey the court You of course may ig-
more the instructions. You are the
judges Of the fact and the law. Not the

Vermont Women at the worlds Fair.


People who intend to visit the Worlds
Fair next year will soon begin to think
about lodging place, and those who de-
sire to keep away from the crowded and
high priced hotels in Chicago will be glad
to le Urn that the Dormitory association
of the exposition, encouraged by the
success of the woman's dOrmitory pro-
ject, are contemplating the erection of a
family dormitory, if sufficient stock is
taken before January first. This stock,
like that for the women's dOrmitory, will
be sold at ten dollars per share, the
owner being entitled to its face value in
lodging for himself and family at forty
cents per day for each person. The
buildings are to be two stories in height,
with interior courts. 1t is proposed to
have restaurants near the buildings,
where meals can be obtained at reasona-
BILE rates. Application for stock in the
family dormitory should be made at once
to Mrs. E. NJ. Chandler, of the Board of
Lady Managers, POmfret, Vermont.
Vermont papers are requested to make
mention of the project, that their read
ers may understand how they can visit
the great exposition comfortably and
cheaply.

tinue making any kind of incandescent
lamps. Instead of a reduction from 30
to so per cent. below existing prices, as
first announced, it is probable that it will
be from 40 to 80 per cent.
The effect of this new departure will
be not only to revolutionize and impor.
tant industry, but it will effect electric
lighting more than any previous discov.
cry has yet done. Cheaper lamps mean
a greater percentage of light from a
given amount of electricity, and they al
so mean that electricity will be used in
hundreds of places where the extra cost
of lamp renewals has been the great OBJ
lection to its introduction.

MY DEAR SENAToR-Permit me to con-
graduate you warmly on your election,
as l certainly congratulate the State.
hope you may fill the Office us long as
your venerable colleague has done, and
as much longer as you may feel inclined,
and that may live to run against you
without success at every election.
In these days when so many high
places are unworthily filled, and when
the general average of your body has
shared to a considerable extent the COM
mon misfortune, am glad and proud
that our own little State is keeping up in
your election the high standard in the
Senate it has so long, and indeed always,
maintained.
Let me thank you also for the very
kind words so gracefully spoken in your
speech of acce ptance in respect to my
self. wish they were better deserved /;
but do not know but it is better than to
deserve them, to enjoy friendship par
tial enough to think them deserved.
And quite aside from myself it is pleas
ant to see an example set of those kindly
amenities between political opponents
which used to be more common than they
are now.
am, dear sir, always sincerely oours,
E. j. PHELPS.
