81 A YEAR In ADVANCE
Free Trade Ruin Spreading.

No business is surer indicator of
the general condition of the people, SO
far as abundant employment and
liberal reward for labor are concerned,
than the manufacture and sale of
watches. A watch is not an article of
absolute necessities. While in some
calling the use of watch is indispen-
sable, the large majority of people can
get along without the pocket time
keeper, and the possession of watch
usually signifies that the owner is
earning something more than is re-
quired for his ordinary needs. For the
reason a serious decline in the demand
for watches indicates pretty clearly
that business men and the wage ear
ners are not prospering.
American watches have Justly ac-
quired high reputation both at home
and abroad, but their chief market is,
of course, the United States. 1t is q
significant sign, therefore, of the, de-
preston and loss caused by the pros
pect of free trade that the American
Waltham Wat h Company, said to be
the largest watch producing concern
in the world, after giving its employees
vacation during the month of July,
has announced that the vacation would
be extended a week, and that, when
the factory resumes on August Z, only
half the employees can receive work.
1t is also stated that the great Elgin
National Watch Company will dis
charge half of its employees on the ist
of August. In Waltham alone the
reduct OH will mean the discharge of
about 800 persons, many of them sup
porters of families, and, should the
Elgin Company act as reported, an
even large number of American wage
earners and their families will be de-
prived of their means of livelihood.
Nor does the record of calamity stop
here. Word comes from Fall River
that several of the leading mills will
shut down in August for longer or
shorter period, and news from other
parts of the country is equally omi-
nous. American industries were splen-
didly prosperous under Republican
rule. They are being parlyzed on
every hand by the threat of Democratic
free trade.-New York Press.

When and How TO Pack Butter.

May and October are the best months
to pack butter for family use. Take o
clean, sweet vessel (stone jar preferred)
pack churning of butter in it that
has been properly salted and worked.
Then make strong brine and cover
the butter two inches deep. Set away
in cool place; cover nicely. When
the next churning is ready pour off the
brine into clean vessel, pack the but
ter on top of the previous churning
and return the brine. Repeat until
the jar is full, If a wooden vessel is
used be careful to use none that will
spoil the flavor of the butter. Ash
wood il the best. When the vessel is
full spread thin cloth over the but
ter and cover with salt. Cover tight
and set away until it is wanted for use.
Butter put up in this way may be kept
sweet and fresh for months.-Farmers

ried dcivilization from the Alleghanies
to the Pacific had small leisure for the
study of esthetc principles. But with
social development and the increase of
prosperity there has come ripper cul-
ture. Beauty has taken her rightful
place by the side of use. The build
ings that house the exhibits of the
Worlds Fair are themselves worth a
journey across the continent to see.
In educating and inspiring the public
taste they are performing function of
great value. Not the least of the ad-
vantuges of visit to the Columbian
Exposition is the fact that multitudes
who witness its wonders will carry
away with them juster appreciation
of the nobility of art and the impor-
tance of applying its principles to the
construction of American homes

The Constitutional Convention.

The Legislature of Tennessee must
take the initial steps toward calling
the constitutional convention for the
State. A two thirds majority of that
body, if we mistake not, is necessary
before the question can be submitted
to the people for adoption or rejection.
The next session of the legislature will
not convene until January, 1895. 1t
will, therefore, be at least eighteen
months before any official steps can
be taken toward the end in view. 1t
is necessary, however, to begin the
agitation of the subject at once, in
order that it may be thoroughly un-
derstood and made an issue in the
elections of next summer.
The committee appointed by the
State Bar association last week, will
set the ball in motion without delay
The press of the State will take up the
subject in earnest when furnished with
the necessary data and discuss it Sc
fully that all may understand why th'
convention should be called and wha
it should accomplish.-Knoxville Sen

Our Biggest CrOp.

How many readers Of last Sundays
Press on reading that this country
raises annually 40, ,843, ,094 tons of hay
on an acreage of 8S,59l ,9O2 acres, or
S4Os, 499, ,205 worth, remembered that
these enormous figures are partly the
result of the duty placed on imported
hay by the Mckinley law? The over
production of cotton caused many
Mississippi Valley cotton growers to
increase their acreage Of hay last year
in lieu of the 20 per cent. of cotton
acreage which they decided to cut off
the substitute crops agreed on being
largely crops on which the Mckinley
act had placed duty. A duty Of "a
a ton was put on imported hay, and
the home market for crop that al
most every farmer can raise more easily
than any other crop was thus reserved
for the American farmer. The for
eign market for hay is also increasing
steadily under enterprising effort.
And this is but one Of many industries
helped on by the Mckinley law.

Mob Law and Crime.

Notwithstanding the horrible and
disgusting brutalities of the Memphis
mob last Saturday night, the report
comes from that city to the effect that
the crime of attempted rape was again
committed yesterday afternoon. This
is not surprising. The outrages of
lawless mob do not deter from crime,
but rather encourage 1t. Lawlessness
naturally and logically promotes law.
lessness. Asa rule, the more sensation
al and horrible the vengeance of the
mob the more certainly will it encour-
age repetition of the crime which
infamed the mob. 1t is the fashion of
the advocates of mob violence to deny
this and say that the more terrible the
vengeance wreaked upon a criminal the
greater the deterring effect upon other
would be criminals. This is mistaken
idea, as observation will prove. The
frighfful fate of Eph Grizzard at the
hands Of mob in Nashville was fol-
lowed by numerous instance of rape in
various parts of the country. 1t is,
therefore, not surprising to hear that
Immediately after the horrible law
lessness of Saturday night in Memphis
human brute attempted to commit
the crime which made the villain
Walker a subject Of barbarous revenge.
There are sound philosophical reasons
to sustain the view here taken, but 1t is
too warm to enter into the philosophy
of the subject Suffice tito say that it
is only when the law is magnified that
the punishment of crime becomes o
deterrent from crime. No citizen or
company of citizens has right to take
the law in lawless hands. In doing
so they trample on law. Crime is
compelled to recognize the right of
constituted authority, but it denies the
right of Ia awlessness to set itself up as
the vindicator oflaw. tits when officers
of the law appreciate the high dignity
and grave responsibility of their inves-
titure of authority and when the law
is scrupulously observed in it's admini-
stration that crime is minimized and
the peace and safety Of society is best
assured. Every violation of law is
harmful, but when lawlessness assumes
the popular phase of mob law, it gives
license to all lawlessness by over
throwing all authority, spewing con-
tempt upon courts of justice and max
ing of the officers of the law forsworn and
bringing puppets, the laughing stock
even of the criminal classes. Nashville

NeighbOrly Maine Folks.

They are neighborly in Booksport.
A capitalist having given an indus
trious citizen an old house if he
would move it from the lot, the folks
turned out with eleven pairs of horses,
seven yokes of oxen and 200 boys and
had moving picnic, pulling the
structure in the old fashioned way on
shoes, by sheer strength. The poor
but honest citizen got home for
nothing, while the town had a taste Of
excitement at slight expense. = Lew is

1t Is the Fair Too Beautiful.

A curious charge has been brought
against the Worlds Fair magement by
Major Pangborn, President of the Asso-
ciated American Exhibitors. Itis that
the landscape and architecture of the
Fair have been made so attractive that
visitors prefer to spend their time ad-
miring these outside glories to the neg.
lect OF the exhibits. In President
Pangborn's 9 words, ''the directory has
made an architectural picture instead
of fair.n %e@&
1t is true that the grounds and build
ings of the Exposition are msrvelously
beautiful. This is not matter for
criticism, but for pride. American
architecture has made gigantic strides
in the past ten years. Not only !, in
great cities, but in many small towns
and in open country itself, structures
have sprung up that combine the func-
tions Of practical usefulness and beauty
in an eminent degree. The White City
on Lake Michigan is striking example
of our progress in this respect. Its
stately structures satisfy the eye and
kindle the imagination. They repre-
sent the highest skill of American
architects. They command the un-
stinted praise Of the ablest foreign
critics of architecture. They are
worthy of the twelfth decade of this Re
public. w
Every American ought to be glad oi
this. Until a recent date our people
have had little time or taste for artistic
cultivation. Americans have been Q
nation of empire builders, not natior

statues but States. The men who

Doing Good by Stealth.

Philadelphia Times: Many years ago
Mr.. Drexel loaned some money to a
prominent business man, who finally
failed. Going to the banker he gave
him an insurance policy on his life say
ing it was all he had. For many years
Mr.. Drexel paid the policy. The man
died, leaving dauhgter who is very
well known. One day Mr.. Drexel sent
for very intimate friend of the family
told him to collect it and give it to the
daughter with the understanding that
she should not know where it came
from. The daughter did not know her
father had any insurance, aud that
money,is oil that stands today between
her and poverty. This was told the
writer by the friend who collected the
policy.

Regarding NJ. & St. L. Officials.

The Redwood Falls correspondent
of the Pioneer Press is an ass, and the
following special sent from his city
by him to that paper last Thursday
evening, will prove the statement:
To-day the president. passenger and
freight managers, with a superintend-
ent of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
left their special car at Delhi, drove
to Redwood Falls over the proposed
route of their railway into town and
locked over several sites suitable for a
depot. Afterwards they met with a
committee for information as to what
the town would do to facilitate the
work, The committee will shortly
make definite proposals.
The officials drove here from Delhi
but not over their proposed route, be-
cause they have none. They did not
look over several sites for depot
grounds but merely looked over the
city, not even having depot grounds in
view. They did not meet with a COM
mittee to ascertain what the. town
would do to facilitate the work." but
merely to become acquainted with the
business men, and possibly to ascer-
tain our desires. The committee will
not shortly make definite proposals.
Barring the statement that the, Off
Gals. Messrs. Truesdale, Pratt, Fox,
Clark and Hopkins were here, the
special is mass Of misleading false
hoods, such as an American school
boy would not be guilty of writing.

MRS. J.sH. c. FLYNN.


Mrs. Josephine H. Cole Flynn,
whose death was briefly chronicled in
these columns last week, was born in
Erie county, Penn, in 1888. She re-
sided in that county until IL years of
age, when she moved, with her par
ents to Sank Co., Wis, where she met
and married Birney Flynn, and in
1866 came with him to Redwood
Falls. Several years after her hus.
bands death, which occurred ten
years ago, she removed to California,
where she remained until about three
months ago. Since that time and up
to her death she resided with her
brother Rufus Cole, just west of the
city.
The funeral occurred from the
Presbyterian church last Thursday
afternoon, large number of the ac-
quaintances of the deceased attending.

Mr.. Crump was born in Kentucky,
near Louisville where he resided fun-
til his removal west over 20 years ago.
He was carpenter by trade. During
the war he was one of many neutral
Kentuckians. He was married at an
early age and had one child by his
first wife, both mother and child dy-
ing before Mr.. Crump came west He
afterwards married Miss Alice Col
braith, who has made devoted and
tender wife. In 1868 he came to Min
neapolis, and after a short stay there,
removed with his wife to Redwood
Falls,which place has been their home
ever since. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Crump
were enthusiastic in the cause of re-
ligion, and it was probably through
their efforts that the present Christian
church was erected here.
