MORAL HEROISM.
- OLsANL
J. @. Sec'y.

Mr.. EDITOR regard with mingled
feelings of pride and awe a hero
whether he has won his laurels in bat
tie Or in the councils of nations or in
lif3's disciplinary conflicts. There are
different types Of heroes. That char
acter which one generation adOres an
other repudiates. The voice of the peo-
pie is not the voice of God, The war
r1or, If a cOnquering hero, usually sue
ceeds IN bringing out the loud applause
OF the pOpulace, but the moral hero
may go down unwept, unhonored and
unsung. His too invincible and always
accompanying characteristics are con
vlction and courage. That man who
goes out to battle, daring to do his own
thinking, daring to differ from the
majority, daring to champion the
cause of right whether it suits personal
convictions or not, daring there to
stand though alone, is the highest type
of humanity and Is the outcome of
progress through the ages.
If this spirit is early seen in the
youth it should be encouraged. for
upon this basis alone can you hope to
raise up a man. But few take in the
broad meaning of that word man.
This character has to deal with the
opinions of men on social, political and
religious questions. That man who
has brains enough has that amount of
originality which "a guide him to an
intelligent conclusion Is offered a field
for development. Look at the many
with no opinion, no ability to think,
no power to guide rs leaders with but
one alternative to follow and think an.
other mans thoughts. Some saw cns-
tom, some say prejudice, some a
tradition, some say training are the
div1dual opinion and braverv a. IN IA
clare it is the mightiest power n V Soo G91
relations today. Many wo11d aIOJ1L
be eader but they absolutely bei;oLa
nothing, or If they do it is not 20 az
sake OF the merit It seems to nroso Ca0

We the undersigned committee of
Exter Alliance respectfully state that
brother Charles Q. White, a worthy
member of Exter Alliance, No. 1850,
has recently had the misfortune to
lose his only horse, and that brother
White is a poor man with a family of
a wifi and three small children to sup
port, and has no means to buy another
horse. We therefore ask all the Sub
Alliances to contribute a small amount
of IS or so cents to help ~him buy an,
other horse. Any amount will be
thankfully received by him and this
Alliance, and we hope the Presidents
of the Sub Alliances will present this
appeal to their Alliances as soon as
possible. All contributions may be-
sent TO our Secretary, Zachariah
White, Exter p. o., BERTHE county,

ion till others do, then they take in the
situation and fall in line. No man is
truly a qualified leaders or moulder of
opinion who does not rely more upon
his own personality than the prevail
ing sentiment of the times. The call
of the nineteenth century is not to the
battlefield, but it is for men who want
to know the right and who will do the
right as they interpret it though So
ciety ostracise, and kindred hate, and
the land of nativity disown, and the
organizations in business, in public life
bury them with the waves of tyran-
meal public opinion.

DOES 1T CURE?

The lawsdepartment of the KELLEY
corporation f0f the cure of inebriety is
of growing Importance. This instt
ton is something Of a monopoly, and
those outside have usually a weakness
for forcing diyVy with monOpolies that
begin to swell with fairness. In this
part of the moral heritage there is even
an individual now and then who has a
grievance with the city railway that
needs financial placating. A number
of suits have been brought against DIR.
KELLEY and his institution, for alleged
failure to cure patients. One of these
is by carpenter named MUNROE, who
sets forth that lie was not cured but
damaged $1,000 worth. He remained
at Dwight, the headquarters of the sys-
TEN, and alleges that the Illustration he
afforded Of the failure of the bichloride
method was so obnoxious that the oper-
ators sought to force him to leave town.
Probably compromise will be had
with this man, and the suit dropped. If
forced into court an analysis OF the
agencies employed i'll this cure of the
victims of Il bad appetite would be had,
and the secret of the composition of the
chief factor in the work possibly ex-
posed. 1t is of good deal of public in.
tereSt that the facts in regard to this
whole business should be definitely
known. Is the alleged cure YER
table remedial agent. or sort
of bread pill 10 supplement faith?
Does it endanger the mind or health
under any circumstances? Is it worth
while for one who wishes to break
away from the vicious habit to take this
regimen? These points are of interest
to good many people who do not care
to make any special show of concern.
There are many who have tried the
treatment who feel a delicacy in expos
ing their personal relations to it There
are quite a number of reputable citizens
of the Twin Cities who have been to
Illinois and taken the KELLEY course.

STATE PRESS POLITICS.

The Duluth Tribune comes out for Stanford
Newell for congress.
Nothing is too good for Knute Nelson in
the eyes of the Haliock News
The Mortified News would like to see
Halvor Stevenson warming seat in con-
gress.
The Anoka Herald claims that Knute Mel
son is far in the lead in the race for an Office
in the state capitol.
In the opinion of the Heron Lake News
mo one but Bro. Pease predicts that McGill
viii have much OF following in the conven-
ton.
Mark the prediction" says the Little Falls
Daily Herald, William r. Merriam will be
renomnated for governor ny the Repub-
licans. The other candidates are killing
each other off,
Possibly the Glencoe Register is right in
saying: I'VE rather think the McGill boom
inaugurated by Editor Pease, Of the Anoka
Union, has died a-bornin', for we hear very
litrle of it at the present time"
The Wheaton Gazette Reporter arrives at
the conclusion that 1.-THE belief is fast gaining
ground that McGilrs candidacy Is simply
move on the part of the ring politicians to
defeat the nomination Of Knute Nelson"
In re the Pease- Eastman imbroglio the Red
Wing Republican says: lone turns from the
hot fury that RACES over the lnoka sands on
tie banks OF the Rum to the refreshing calm
that reigns through the shades of Wright
county the other side of the Mississippi
Thus the Litchfeld Saturday Review sizes
up the situation: ut looks as though the
powers that be of the Republican party of
this state have decided on Knute Nelson as
40 90 DdiIofa For onvarnor ,his raor Thio
the way the matter looks at present.
In heroic measure the Brainerd Tribune
shouts: Nominate Nelson and Minnesota
will send seven Republicans to the next con-
gress." But what if Nelson should be de-
feated at the polls? What would the seven
Republican congressman do then, poor
things?
"Ex-Gov McGilrs boomlet for guberna-
torial honors,' says the Woodstock Eagle
''has gained gigantic proportions, especially
in the Southwestern portion of the state"
"Well, perhaps so, replies the Jasper Jour
nal, but we have been unable to find any
one who is overly enthusiastic over his can
didacy."
Says the Glencoe Register: Merriam says
that ne is III favor of the reelection of SEN
ator Davis and intimates that he is not after
any office. Sol Actions speak louder than
words William, and we should advise all
friends of the senator to keep close watch
over you or they may be caught mapping,
and not take everything for granted. William
is sly, devilish sly"
Dropping into scripture the Litchfeld
News-Ledger says: THE city papers are
now booming A. R. McGill for governor,
but there are number of the best country
Journals that will say: Depart from me We
worker of iniquity; we never knew you until
you had served one term as governor.
However, this may not be straight Scripture,
but it may do duty as political scripture

KYLE'S QUEER DOLLAR.

Senator KyIe's proposition for an
''elastic currency" which proposes To
convert designated quantities of all the
great staples into cunts Of Nvalue, IS
apparently an elaboration of the -four
unit of value as mooted in congress
few days ago. Philadelphia Record.
Senator Kyle proposes composite
dollar" based on the fuctuating price
of thirty articles In common use. Why
not average the brains of cohgreSsmen
IN the same way? a composite BRAIN"
now, would be decided improvement
OH the present average article.-St.
Republic.
Senator Kyle's compound dollar
scheme proposes to utilize bricks as
we'll as farm products as units of value.
The plan wound not be without adyant
aye. When common bricks should pass
as currency the fraternity who sell gold
bricks TO wealthy farmers at half their
value iii order to get the ready cash
would no longer need to ply their foca-
tion.-Phiiadelp Record.
This is not new idea at all. 1t is
known among political economists rs
the tabular standard" idea. 1t is pretty
generally agreed among economists that
such a standard, if made to embrace 4
sufficient number OF staple articles i'll
quantities prop0rtioned to the conSHmp-
ton OF such articles to the people, would
be more truly standard OF value than
either gold or silver money or both to-
gether.-Chicago Herald.

decision filed by Judge Yanderburgh
yesterday, reversed the judgment OF the
trial court in the case OF In re the estate
of Charlemagne Tower, deceased. Char
lemagne Tower Jr. ct al, appellants, VS..
Deborah Taylor Lee ct al. respondents.
The case involves the construction of
certain clauses OF the will OF Charlie
magne Tower, late of Philadelphia, de-
ceased. and relates especially To the dis
position of certain real estate i'm the
northern part of Minnesota. The ques-
ton raised was in respect to the validity
OF a certain trust created by the will.
and particularly whether the absolute
power OF alienation Of the real estate IN
question is suspended for a period ex-
ceeding two lives in being. The sylla-
BUS reads:
In this state the absolute power of
alienation as respects real estate cannot
be lawfully suspended by the creation
OF a trust for more than two lives In be-
ing. But as To personal property the
common law still prevails. and trust
therein may continue for one or more
lives in being at the death OF testatOr
and twenty-one years and a fraction.
By the statute the absolute power of
alienation is not suspended where there
is person in being by whom an abSO-
lutte fee in possession can De conveyed.
And where Il single trust embraces both
personal and real property, aud IL does
not offend against the rule rs 10 per
petuities in respect To the personality.
and by the instrument creating the
trust an unconditional power OF sale is
given to the trustees. under which they

MAY BE AN ISSUE.

Taking as an indication the express
slons Of administration organs, the Min
neapols convention will more or less
distinctly demand the enactment OF a
force bill. This has always been a
cherished scheme with the president,
and he will have unObstructed way in
the convention, apparently 10 Will at
ford him and his supporters an Oppor-
tunity TO fling out the bloody shirt in the
campaign in the North. They fancy
that they can stir the old prejudices
with this and call b TEX many Of the
wanderers after tariff reform and
other anti.R;publican things. The
tariff issue does not inspire them
with confidence, although they pro-
fess TO have gone past that or
deal with great success in Ohio last
year and later in Rhode Island. 1t will
be remembered that the president did
conceal his disappointment al the de-
feat Of the measure in the last congress,
and has never abated his purpose to
work for its success. He would have
the national convention pledge the
party for it, III the hope that Repubi-
can congress may DC elected next fall to
pass it in the house. and the Republican
kickers in the senate may be held down.
1t will be remembered that it
was defeated in that body by the
solid vote of the Democrats and
few Republicans. Some of the latter
were extremely bitter in their hostility
10 the bill in principle. One or these
IL. .T.I.. 4
Orado. Senator TELLER. In speech in
the senate few days ago, he took ocea-
sion to refer To the measure. and SAID
that in the TWO years since IL was voted
on he has read the bill with care more
than twenty time in the hope that he
might be able to agree with the major
ity Of his party in the senate; but the
more he had studied the question, the
more intense had become his conviction
of the viciouSness of the system. He
even went so far rs to assert that, if it
cost him his membership in the party,
he would vote against the bill If it were
presented again.
"A more infamous bill" he said never
passed the Threshold Of the doors of the
senate. Avowedly in the interest of good
government it was instigate1 by men whose
interest it was to prevent free expression
of the will of the voters at the polls"
1t is understood that the other Re-
publican senators who voted with him
share his opinions in regard to the bill.
The Republicans could not do the
Democrats better service than to pre-
sent this issue. 1t would insure them
Of
the South, and aid them in some i'm
pOrtant Northern states. IT, with rep
resentative, popular candidates, the
Democrats cannot make a winning
fight for tariff reform and in opposition
to the force BILL they might as we'll
throw up the sponge.

DANGER FOR BEN.

If the Republicans really want to
nominate HARRISON at Minneapolis,
they should not be lulled to security by
the song sent cut that the attempts to
divert strength from him have proved a
failure. The men who are trying to
throw him over are the largest party
bosses. These are QUAY, PLATT,
CLARKsoN, WAsHBURN, ALGER and
others. If they can prevent deleg ates
being instructed for HARRISON, and
quietly inculcate the impression that he
is the one man who cannot be elected,
their present purpose will be subseryed.
Their tactics will be brought into play
at the crucial moment, if there is any
possibility of stampede and uniting on
any other man.
