NEW PUBLIcAT IONS.

The Story of the Byzantine Empire.
By C. W. Cooman. (New York: G. P.
Putnam's Sons; Portland: Loring, Short
& Harmony This is another OF the
Story Of the Nations series, which now
number thirty-three volumes, with more
to come, but they have all averaged so
well, that we welcome them as among
the most useful historical books of the
day; for although they are written for
young readers, and are therefore more
compact and picturesque than the larger
works intended for advanced students,
yet the talent which has been employed
upon them is so good, and the treatment
of subjects has been SO judicious and
accurate that they have found wide
circle of readers, and have filed gap in
the popular literature of the day. The
compiler of this volume is new name in
the list, but he1s fellow of All Souls Col
lege, Oxford, who has demonstrated his
fitness for the work by previous incur
sions in the field of historical literature,
and his treatment of the interesting
theme of the rise and decay of the East
ern Roman Empire fully maintains the
reputation of the series.

If the strikers on the Erie railroad who
find themselves out of a job find them
selves also without public sympathy they
have only themselves to blame. The
tendency of public sympathy in con-
troversy between labor and capital is
naturally to go with the former, because
it is looked upon as the weaker party,
and when it goes elsewhere labor gem
orally drives it there by resorting to
methods and means absolutely indefensi-
ble This was the case with the strikers
at Buffalo. Almost the first intimation
the public had that there was any trouble
between the railroad company and the
switchmen was conveyed to them by
burning freight cars which had been set
on fire by the latter or their sympathizers.
Of course no decent citizen could defend
such an act as that or look upon the men
who had perpetrated it otherwise than
as public enemies. Organized labor will
learn in time perhaps that the very worst
method of obtaining it's demands is a
resort to violence, because that is certain
to array against it all law abiding
people.

It is quite true that the Republicans
are not in favor of a reciprocal treaty
with Canada along the lines of the old
treaty, for the simple reason that there
is no real reciprocity in it. An exchange
of natural products between the two
countries which that treaty provided for
would bring more harm to the people of
the United States than good. Especially
would this be true in Maine, which is
largely an agricultural State. The Maine
farmer finds it sufficiently difficult now
to keep his head above water, but if he
were subjected TO the competition of the
Canadian farmer, as he would be if
the treaty of 1856 We're revived, his
struggle would be hopeless. To offer the
Canadians the market of 60,000,000 of
people for market of 100000, and that
restricted to natural products, is not
reciprocity. The Republicans are not in
favor of that policy.

Told in the Gate. By Arlo Bates.
Boston: Roberts Brothers; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony. This dainty
book of poems contains the following:
In the Gate, The Sorrow of Rohab, The
Sword of Tabber, The City of Irem,
Ahmed, The Wife of Hassan, the King
of Haroun AL Raschid, and The Voice of
Sakina. Eastern Tales full of sensuous
beauty and told in musical rhythm
which attest, the poetic instinct of the
author. They are full of Eastern color
ing and Eastern passion, and yet we are
glad that we do not live in the East.
Love transforms itself into other pas
sions SO quickly there that the transition
is not pleasant even to the reade". Yet
we do not find fault with the poet He
has used his materials well. 1t is the
materials that we are inclined to crlti-
else.

is SHE INSANE?

The examination of Mrs. Rebecca
Rabe in regard to her mental condi-
tiOn occupied Wednesday in Probate
court. A. F. Rabe returned yester-
day afternoon from Nicollet Station
bringing with him his wife's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ringstorff, VIII Q
reside six miles from the town. Sew
eral other witnesses were also Sc
cured.
DR.. Joseph Wicks was put on the
stand yesterday afternoon and testi-
fed to bad spell which Mrs. Rabe
had four years ago.
This morning DR.. A. w. Daniels
was called and testified to the same
effect. The defendant had at that
time just recovered from fever.
A. F. Rabe was called and testified
that his wife had had spells very fire.
quently and that at such times it was
necessary to use violence upon her,
such as slapping, when she would be
all right for a month or so. When
Mrs. Miller shot her divorced hus-
band at Nicollet Station last summer,
Mrs. Rabe said that she would put
four bullets in her husbands head,
whereas Mrs. Miller had put but one.
His aunt, Mrs. Mary Wenholz, was
next called.
John Ringstorff, brother of the de-
PENDANT, and his wife, testified, and
also her father and mother, all speak
ing of her actions after her sickness
four years ago. Mrs, Rabe is not on
good terms with her family.
During this trying ordeal Mrs. Rabe
took things quietly and pleasantly,
though at times it was very plain
that the was laboring under an in
tense nervous strain.
She has been detained as prisoner
at the Clifton House. She is a quiet,
pleasant appearing lady, with Ger
man accent, and her sympathizers are
greatly incensed at her husbands pro-
ceeding.
One witness was to be examined
this afternoon.

Not q Desirable Business.

Occasionally" said retired bur.
glar, "a man transfers to himself in
a single night the accumulations OF
another mans lifetime, but these in.
stances are very rare, and nothing
could be further from the truth than
the idea that burglary is quick and
easy road to wealth. The fact is
that the great majority of burglars
make but scant living, and to make
even that they must encounter many
difficulties and dangers. The bur.
glars reward, whatever it may be,
is never commensurate to the risks
he takes.
Il have myself acquired some
property, but if l had my life to live
over again | should choose some
other occupation than burglary. In
deed, when you come to consider the
inconvenient hours and the general
worry and uncertainty of that bust.
ness, the wonder is that anybody
should ever go into it; if a man is at
all inclined to be sensitive he should
certainly keep out of it."-New Or

A PUT UP JOB
That Worked Like a Charm! A Thoughts
full and Loving wife Cures Her
Husband of the Drink
Habit.

The true story runs this way: Dis
gusted with the late hours and con-
tinued drunken sprees of her hus-
band, after good resolutions and
pledges, and advice. failed, wife Sc
cured an infallible remedy for
drunkenness, known as Haines' Gold
en- Specific, put it into her husbands
coffee several times unknown to him.
and it made sober man out OF him,
who for six years had scarcely known
a sober day. Three doses settled him,
and now he blesses his wife and loves
his children. Commenting upon this
incident, an acquaintance remarks:
81 have been afraid to drink cup of
coffee or tea at home ever since, for
fear my wife will spring it on me and
l would get up some morning and not
be able to take my rations. Look in
to the matter for the fun of the
thing"
A Cincinnati, o., paper says: 1.-The
Golden Specific is simple, harmless
remedy. can be administered without
the knowledge or consent of the SUBJ
iect to be treated, and has yet to have
chronicled against it the first failure
to cure" It's efficiency is attested by
leading physicians and druggists the
world over. 1t is absolutely harmless
and effective. 1t will not discom-
mode the person who takes it, and
one package for three dollars often
does the work. There is no reasona-
BILE excuse for a man addicted to the
use of alcoholic drinks, who wishes
healing and health, to continue a
slave to drink when this peerless rem
edy, that has the highest endorse
ments both abroad and at home, is
within the reach of even the most
limited ia means. 1t is certainly
worth your while to inquire about the
Specific, and why not start it now by
securing a 4S-page pamphlet, free, of
Golden Specific Co., Cincinnati, o.,
which contains unanswerable algu-
ments in it's favor?

LAKE WASHINGTON.

One of the handsOmest bodies of
water in the state is Lake Washing
ton. It's surface is now higher than
for many years and the ripping
waves wash the green grass on the
shores. The contrast of the heavy
foliage with the blue waters forms
scene to delight the eye of an artist.
The points and rounded bays are
beautiful beyond description. A few
days of recreation at such place as
this, away from the rush OF everyday
affairs and the hum of industry,
should be enjoyed by our business
men. Days thus devoted will never
be regretted. The fishing is fine and
the boats excellent. Mr.. and Mrs.
F. r. Volk, the proprietors of the no.
tel, are ever solictious for the COM
fort of their guests.
Blue Earth county has several
lakes which have attracted strangers
to spend a portion of the summer,
and these resorts should be encour-
aged, for every guest must be sup
ported by goods purchased in Man
kato. The advertisement to the city
alone is of great value, for the more
strangers who come to our lakes the
more will visit Mankato. Then let
us by all means spread abroad the
fame of our summer resorts wherever
possible, and attempt to secure our
share of the army of summer tourists
who are looking for cool resorts to
spend the heated term. Our cool and
crystal lakes are the best in the state
and several hundred tourists could be
accommodated at rates more reason
able than elsewhere.

When Labouchere Travelled.

Of the many stories told by Henry
Labouchere one of the best is of his
journey from Dresden to CONSTANT
nople, which hequotes as illustrating
the niggardliness which rules at the
foreign Office in some matters. The
young attache not putting in an ap-
pearance at Constantinople at the
appointed period, formal inquiry was
made as to the reason of the delay.
After much trouble and considerable
expense the missive reached his
hand, and in due course letter ar
rived at the foreign office stating that
inadequate provision had been made
for his travelling expenses, and that
as his private means were limited
Mr.. Labouchere was walking, and
would in due time reach the shores
of the Bosphorus.-Cor. New Yorb

Gold Ore by the Wagon Load.

There is an ex-state senator il,
Beaver Head county, Mon, who owns
very rich mine, the ore yielding
$500 to the ton net. He is a Califor-
MIA "Forty-niner," who came as a
prospeetor to Montana, and since
discovering his mine has lived upon
it in a peculiar way. He has no faith
in banks. He says his money is
safest in the ground. When he has
spent what money he has he takes
out a wagon load of ore, ships it to
Omaha sells it, and lives on the re-
turn until he needs another wagon
load. -Julian Ralph in Harper's.

And she had stood by and heard it
all with an amused smile playing
about her finely chiseled lips and a
look IN her eyes that would burn
into his soul forever. 1t was TOO ter
rible.
She was lost to him All was lost.
Life had no pleasure left for him.
Nothing remained but dreary des-
ert, a dead level of misery; nothing
but life of loneliness and-ahl he
had not thought of that beforel The
river! The river which had quenched
SO many sorrowsl The river which
had borne away on it's black bosom
SO many hopeless onesl
There was CLEAN of fierce deter
minatlon in his eyes; his step de-
noted a purpose from which nothing
could turn him. He walked rapidly,
several friends nodded, but he did
not see them. On, on toward the
river 1t would receive him cordial
ly. ltwould open its great arms to
him. 1t would not question his mo-
tives. Calm, beautiful, peaceful,

No, he would leave no message for
her. She had thought him false.
No last word should comfort her.
They would find his body floating in
the harbor. She would hear of it.
She would understand.
He laughed wild, hoarse laugh
that made a shivering beggar draw
back and forget to ply his trade.
He was growing weary, his brain
was in a whirl. The river was still
far away. He boarded a car going
toward the ferry.
"Oh, Mr.. Jones, you're the very
person l wanted to see," called a
sweet voice as he entered.
He scarcely heard it.
DO please come up tomorrow
night. We are going to get up some
theatricals, and you're so clever at
those things. Please come"
He said he expected to be out of
the city.
'Well, then, come the next night. )"
He was to be gone long time.
She was very sorry. If anything
happened that he didn't go. he must
help her.
"Oh, certainly" and he laughed
again that same wild laugh.
But he called the next night.-De-

Geo. S. Powlison stepped forth from
the penitentiary at Saltwater on July
End a free man. The long petition
which was secured in this city and
the solicitations of several influential
gentlemen prevailed with Gov. Mer-
riam, and he signed the pardon
promptly. Mr.. Powlison has served
about thirteen months and this has
been sufficient to teach him the les
son of his life. He writes us thank
ing those who signed the petition.
We trust and expect that by his fu-
ture exemplary conduct he will make
amends for his past lapses. He has
the qualifications to become an hon
ored citizen and his endeavors to this
end should receive the assistance of
all, wherever he may locate, allowing

ents says: Do the supporters of Mr..
Cleveland's nomination outside OF
boards of trade national banks. adj
vocates of gold standard and subsi-
died newspapers in western and
southern states know what the cry for
honest money means?
1t means the retirement of $685.
OOQ 900 treasury notes now in circu-
lation. 1t means that the silver coined
and authorized to be issued under the
acts of 1873 and 1890 are dishonest
money. One billion of government
Indebtedness is payable by law of
congress in silver as we'll as gold. A
billion Of appropriations and all the
salaries Of the officers and employees
of the United States are payable in
silver as well as gold and yet Mr..
Cleveland believes and declared that
this silver and the currency founded
on it are dishonest
If the coinage of silver is to cease
then the gold Of the bond holder and
the value of his bonds will be doubled
From 1910 to 1873 the price of sill
yer was almost as unvarying as the
north star. When demonetized it was
81. 03 per fine ounce. Its depreciation
has been aptly illustrated by overpow-
ering a strong man and wallowing
him in the mud and then kicking him
because he is muddy.
