THE WOOL DUTIES.

The Wooden Manufacturers associa-
ton that delighted the McKinlevites
recently with its protest against the
free wool dill was not the representa-
tive body it was taken for by many. It
was more political aggregation than a
business body. 1t affected to speak for
the WOODEN manufacturers as willing TO
pay more for the raw material imported
rather than have the home wool grow
ers come in competition with the wool
produced abroad. and especially OBJ
jected to the reduction of duties on
wooden goods. The Wool Consumers
association, representing the great BODY
of WOODEN manufacturers of the coun-
try, comes into the arena with an en-
tirely different expression. 1t urges
the passage of the bill now before the
house providing for the repeal of duties
on wool, even if it does involve a con-
siderable reduction of the tariff on
wooden manufactures. They insist that
the success of their industry and its
ability to give full employment to its
labor depends upon their ability to

Corporal is the greatest hero Of history.
and he reads every line he can find re-

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, wants

DAVID BENNETT HILL.

The statement that Hill ''dOes not de-
sire to hinder the success of his party
by forcing himself upon it, is one of
those fairy tales which are devised from
time to time for the diversion of the
marines.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
When, on Washington's birthday, the
New York Democratic convention leads
out with a solid delegation for Hill,
there will be wonderful craning of
necks to note the effect upon the rest of
this broad land.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
Whatever may be the opinion in the
West and South. the impression pre-
walls among New York Democrats that
David B. Hill holds big and little ca
SinO. with prospect of cards and
spades, in the presidential game.-New
York Advertiser.
TIE fact that David Bennett Hill
wants a midwinter state convention for
change. and gets it. should not be over
looked by those persons who imagine
MIR. Hill is not in the race for the presi-
dency. He is there, and moving with
more or less precision.-NeW York Ad-
vertiser.
The drift of Democratic sentiment is
unquestionably in favor of Hill just
now, but there are many chances for
him to lose his advantage during the
next four months, and it may be that
fate is merely encouraging him at pres
emf for the purpose of getting decisive
Whack at him in June.-St. Louis Globe-

be held at later periods. Their action
will be individual and independent.
Should the state convention act in.
the interest of any aspirant, it
does not follow that the districts
will concur in such action. For instance,
should Gov. HILL be in the field, as
many assume that he will be, it is highly
probable that the state convention will
be favorable to his candidacy, and elect
four delegates committed to him,
whether instructed or not. The dis
tricts will, no doubt, choose delegates
irrespective of this fact, some being for
HILL, Others for CLEVELAND or other
names favored. In this view the i'm
portance of the action of the state con-
vention is greatly lessened. 1t
will have value as an indication
of party sentiment, and influence
the districts to some extent, but
does not render probable unan-
unity in the voice of the state at
Chicago. The course taken III calling
the state convention at SO unprece-
denied date will probably be negative
ly influential, so far as it has effect upon
the party at large. 1t may aid to render
it lmpolitic to nominate one of the
party leaders of that state, but will
have small effect in elevating another.
On the whole, it will tend to minify
rather than magnify the potency of that
great state as factor in the prelim-
mary stage of the presidential contest.

A NEW HOLIDAY.

Congressman HALL. of this state, who
is proving very efficient worker in the
house, has initiated one measure that
meets wide approval without regard to
section or politics. He has introduced
a bill that declares ''the anniversary of
the discovery of America by CHRISTIE
PIER CoLUMBus,..to wit, the 18th of
October, day of national thanksgiving,
on which day the people of the United
States may express their gratitude to
Almighty God for the life and services
of the lllustriouS navigator and explor-
En-" 1t is regarded as quite probable
that this view will prevail and another
holiday be added to the list. The tend
ency of the times is to fewer hours of
toll and more days of recreation. There
are, however, many who insist that
COLUMBUS should not have the undi-
yided honor. The NorSeman who hap
pened somewhere III this part of the
world about 500 years earlier has many
friends, who are likely to insist that he
should be given some sort of place in
the records. His neglect, however, to
write book about the country. or even
fill few columns in the daily papers
depicting his adventures and discover
les, leaves his surroundings and ac-
compliShmentS too indefinite to work
up we'll in festive remembrance. 1t has
been said that the man who opens up
new pleasure to the popular life is
benefaetor. A whole holiday of jubila-
ton for great nation may even in
time require an annex in justice to the
originator of it.

ROOM FOR REFORM.

One OF the peculiar features of the
temperance reform work, as rule. is
that those engaged in it have no concern
as to whether the liquors used are pure
or aduterated so as to be far more de-
leteriOus than the alcoholic element
should be. Some have even been so
heartless as to want the liquors tc be as
harmful as possible, in the fanciful sup
position that somehow reaction Will
he provoked and their use discouraged.
A New York temperance evangelist,
who is chemist. has been collecting
samples from tony saloons in New York
city, and gives out results that are
adapted to useful service in the re-
formatory work. The .'fine old Ken
lucky whisky" contained neutral spir-
Its, glycerine, Icreosote, unslaked lime
and fusel oil. But it was comparatively
pure beside the port wine and gin. The
composition of the latter WIS fonnd to
nearly exhaust the resources of the
drug shops, many of the ingredients be-
ing very harmful poisons. Still, in va
rlety of elements lager beer is the great
marvel. Here are some of the alleged
discoveries:
Pepper, ginger vinegar, capsicum, cream
OF tartar; acetic. nitric, citIic tartaric, sui
phurlc and prusslc acids; nitric sulphuric and
aceuc ether; spirits of nitre, the oils of Wit
rlol, turpentlne and cassia caraway Seeds
clover japonica extract bitter almonds, orris
root, grains of paradise, Spanish Juice, black
ants, dried cherries, orange peel, coriander
seed, white oak bark, fannie acid, fennel
seed, cardamom Seed NORWOOD copperas
alum sulphates of iron and copper, licorice
opium, gentian root quassia, coculus indi-
GUS tobacco, saltpetre, logwood. marble dust
egg shells, hartshorn, nutgalls, potash and
soda
Some of these are harmless. but others
are dangerous to take into the system.
as they must be if they really have gen
eral place in the New York beers. 1t is
not probable that many of them are
found in any one sample, but it would
be in the interest of humanity to insist
that no dangerous ingredients should
have place. So far as there have been
tests made of the beers used in st. Paul
1t is not remembered that there have
been serious imputations as to their
purity, at least so far as deleterious ele-
ments are concerned. 1t is believed no
popular makes of beer are freer from
Impurities than those of local proauc-
ton. That is the impression given out
as the result of tests. 1t is clearly i'm
portant to reduce as far as possible the
harmful effects upon the system of arti-
Giles used as intoXicants. and there is
probably room for much reform in this
direction.

CHARLES HADDoN STURGEON.

u ~.
News of the sudden death of London's
most popular preacher will come as
shock to millions i'll America. His fame
was worldwide. and the loss to religious
circles will be universally deplored.
With us the effect of Rev. SPURGEoN's
death in England can be better appre-
ciated when we compare it with the de-
mise of HENRY WARD BEEcHER in
New York. What BEECHER was,
potentially, in the United States,
STURGEON was in all England. He
stood in the same position as an emf
nent pulpit orator, yet Invested of the
strong political attributes with which
BEECHER delighted to clothe himself
The death of STURGEON was sudden
in the sense that, in this country at
least, it was entirely unexpected. Yet
within less than eighteen months the
distinguished divine was brought very
near deaths door by complication of
diseases from which he never entirely
recovered. Since then his health has
been precarious, and he has been
obliged to forego large portion of the
religious work that he loved, and which
has endeared his name to thousands.
Dying at the age of fifty seven years,
Mr.. STURGEON has been a preacher
since he WAS eighteen. At that early
age he connected himself with clay
preachers association from whence, in
1853, he was called to the New Park
Street Baptist chapel In Southwark,
London. Here his eloquence attracted
immense crowds. So rapidly did his
popularity increase that ia 1861 chapel
capable of seating between five and six
thousand was erected for his congrega-
ton in Newton Butts. His success as a
reyivalist has been great, so many as
1900 having been admitted to his
church during his pastorate. In his re-
ligious views Mr.. STURGEON has been a
liberal in the sense of reconciling re-
liglon with the practical duties of life.
A hard worker both in and out of the
pulpit, he apparently labored in full
sincerity of purpose for the pure love of
the cause to which he had devoted him
self at so early an age. In the death of
Mr.. STURGEON one of the great theolog-
ical lights of the world has gone out,
and London's humanity has lost

DOTS ON DIVORCE.

Another woman has sued for divorce
after looking through her husbands
pocket. She ought to have known it
was loaded.-New York World.
Mrs. James G. Blaine Jr. was entirely
justified in refusing to compromise her
divorce suit. She already had been
compromised enough by hermarriage.-
Chicago Mail.
Why the Divorce Reform league
should meet in Boston, with Chicago
and Sioux Falls ready to entertain its
members, is one of the mysteries that is
not likely to be solved.-Detroit
Tribune.
The fact that several London divorce
suits have lately been decided in favor
of the husband may be taken as an ndi-
cation that Englishmen regard the pres
ent as a time for EngliShmen to stand
together.-New York Advertiser.
Boston has National Divore Reform
league. 1t is worked in the interest of
New England spinsterS, who think that
the matrimonial market has been bulled
by the letting loose of too many fasci-
mating grass wid0Ws.-St. Joseph News.
A New York paper points to the nov
city of "a suit for divorce in the county
court of Media, Pa, by Jane Dawson"
The novelty consists in the fact that
Jane and her husband are both Quakers,
and divorces in the Quaker church are
things almost unheard of.-Chicago

IS THIS SOMETHING NEwq
Powerful Organizations TO Insure
People Against Poverty.

Powerful Organizations TO Insure
People Against Poverty.
Probably next to death or serious
bodily injury, poverty will be conceded
to be the worst of human ills. 1t will
therefore be matter of large public
interest to know that complete arrange
ments have been made to insure the
people of this country against that dire
evil. d
1t has been well known that COM
panies are in existence to afford indem-
nifty for almost every possible ill. The
building may burn and there is FIRE in
surance to meet the loss. A man may
be injured, an accident policy plasters
his wound beautifully. There is in.
surance against tornadoes On land and
wreckage at sea; insurance to protect
employers against embezzlement and
owners of plate glass against breakage;
live stock insurance, matrimonial in
Surance, and lately society has been
organized in this and an adjacent state
to insure people against being assaultedi
and murdered
But insurance against poverty is
quite another matter. 1t is the aSSer-
ZION OF molly WIFI tnal we must always
have the poor with us, and like other
scriptural statements, it proves sadly
true. But amelioration of that stern
truth is found in the fact that great Or
CARNATIONS are now in existence by
which all men who will, may by rea-
sonable thrift guard against the posi-
bility of poverty. There are grand COM
panies, more opulent than any others IN
existence, which for the payment of
small sums annually will guarantee any
man that at the end of a fixed term of
years he shall have money paid, if he
SO arraDges, running up into the thou
sands, directly to himself; or, if he dies
before the designated time, there shall
be a fine estate in ready cash for his
family.
"But that is life Insurance." says the
reader.
Call it any name you like, but it is
certainly and unequiyocally insurance
against poverty.
