OBJECT IEssoN IN FAIERNAGIsM.

The National Bank OF Australasia has

lapse IN these colonies is an object lesson
in paterualism in government pushed to
an extreme - make what its projectors
called 'the paradise of workingmen."
The labor agitator has had GEAR field in
Australia. and his specific uostrums for
the creation of industrial prosperity have
all been east into legislation. In lSS6 the

THE DEPRECIATION OF sILvEI

The Stree silver" men urged the passage
of the so-called Sherman act of 1880 on the
ground that doubling the monthly pur-
chases of silver would stiffen the market
and lift silver TO its normal price. Here
are some figures from the Baltimore Sun,
Dem, which illustrate how miserably the
act has failed of a success from the point
Of view OF its advocates.
In April, 1850. silver was At $l.o7 per
ounce: now it is at s3H cents. The in
creased abundance of silver and silver
treasury notes has not improved prices. As
was predicted. May wheat is at 757s cents
d bushei, As against g5l4 in 1890; cotton is
at 1916 cents a pound, as against lI7s
cents in 1890; pig-iron is at $l4.50 as
against $3.50. Nor is money abundant
for the borrower. Money commands a
higher rate of interest on good COM
nercial paper than in 1890.

JOHN EDWARDS,
Born Sept. 18th, 1881.
Died March 11th. 1891.

On the second die, 2-5x2-5x2-10, is the
double eagle, the mystic emblem of the
Masonic order of which Mr.. Edwards
was an honored member. At the head
of the Eagle is the Greek delta and
within it the figures 80, significant of
the 32nd degree. Above the emblem
is inscribed in a semi-circle wisconsin

latin motto "Spes Mea Dec Est"

The cap crowning this is SKIS and on
this rests the foot statue of fine
Westerly, R. l., granite of a pure light
grayish tint. The sculpturing of it is
classically simple and work of art.
The features retain the likeness of the
subject. The work came from the studio
of the eminent Boston sculptor who did
much of the finer work on the World s
Fair buildings. The work upon it alone
is understood to have cost $1,000. The
entire monument is beautiful one and
represents the best product of master
workmen.

Worlds Fair lmmensities.

Jackson Park, where the biggest fair
in the worlds history is being held, has
700 acres and over 800 buildings. The
Manufactures building is the biggest
building in the world; the Ferris wheel
is the biggest wheel in the world; the
Big Hammer in Transportation building
is the biggest hammer in the world; the
big Krupp gun is the biggest gun IN the
world; the Art Gallery has the biggest
collection of pictures in America; and
America is the biggest spectacular
theatre in the world; Buffalo Bill's show
is the biggest in the world of its kind,
and all are gathered together on the
shores of the biggest lake in the world
the biggest crowd ever gotten together
for a similar purpose was there on
Chicago day, when 716, ,646 people passed
the turnstiles.
The statute of the Republic is sixty
five feet high and is SO large that four
men can sit on one of it's hands. 1t is
gilded and in the sunlight the effect is
of unparalleled magnifcence.
Thirty-three of the United States and
nineteen Foreign Countries have build
ings on the grounds.
The biggest collection of America s
historic relics are here. One of the
most instructive and best paying private
collections at the fair is the Cliff Dwell
ers. In one day the receipts often foot
up to over $1,000.
The Smithsonian institute has a natur-
al history exhibit, showing all the prin-
cipal species of each family of mammals
in the two Americas. There is also an
exhibit of the families of beasts and
birds which are fast being extermin-
ated
How one is impressed as he stands
where he can view the immensities of
this great fair, and compares the pro-
ducts with the three little ships that
represent the initial beginnings. The
thought attains and goes with us through
scenes of unrivaled magnifcence that
Columbus waited, and argued, and plead
for, and Isabella, queen, and woman
with prophetic faith and womans active
sympathy pledged her jewels to make
it possible for the three frail, poorly
equipped vessels to sail on the uncertain
voyage that discovered half world.

Wages in the Woods.

The question of woods wages for the
coming winter is the dominant one
now, and on its settlement depends to a
good extent the work of the woods this
winter. This question however, seems
likely to settle itself. At least two firms
at Duluth have made written contracts
with all the men they have hired so far
to pay on basis of $16 a month, and
$13 if they go out Of the woods before
the work is done. This is pretty low
basis and one that some of the heaviest
employers in the district do not feel to
be just the proper caper. Still it is
evident that wages will run from $13 to,
say $40 or possibly $50 in exceptional
cases. In the Ashland district we
understand they are paying from $12 to
S14 and find no difficulty in getting
men. Too low a scale will be likely,
however, TO result in too low style of
work on the part Of the men.-Phillips
Bee.
The laboring men in the twin cities
who have been finding plenty of
employment at 81. .25 and $1.5O per day
can congratulate themselves that they
are not obliged to go in the woods at $12
and SIC per month. No two cities in
the state are suffering less by the hard
times than Centralia and Grand Rapids.
The Nekoosa Paper Co. paid out nearly
$4,000 the past month. We have
everything to be thankful for in these
Democratic times

Was Priest Hickman a Christian?

Last week deluded daughter of Mr..
Mehl, the proprietor of the "Ryan," in
st. Paul, eloped with, and married an
ignorant black employee Of her fathers.
No girl not mentally unbalanced and un-
tit to be at large, having personal free
dom, would have done such a thing.
The preacher who assisted in the ne
farious ceremony of making her the
wife of man mentally, morally, socially,
and in the Unborn nationality, immeas-
urably her inferior, and shrunk behind
the excuse that eff he did not perform
the ceremony some one else would"
seems to a just public cowardly and
unworthy man, deserving of punish
ment. Officials having the power to
assist or protect misguided youth in
their insane freaks, are by all the laws
of God and man bound to do it, and no
class of unfortunates are more deserving
of pity and protection than the empty
headed gill whose one idea is to marry,
black or white, Jew or Gentle, Turk or
christian, SO that it is man they get to

week filling orders. He isaccompanied
by Mr.. Slowey, his salesman, and three
other employees. The principal monu-
ment that he is setting here this week
is the beautiful and costly statue of the
late John Edwards. A delay in getting

Where Money is Made.

Agricultural and horticultural pursuits
IN the region east of the Rocky Noun
tains are attended by the hard condi-
ton of close competition. 1t is only
the exercise of superior industry and
intelligence that more than bare sub
sistence is possible. In California the
situation is entirely different. In that
State certain articles are produced which
cannot be grown in any other state in
the Union; they are costly articles of
consumption, which are grown else
where only in foreign countries and i'm
ported thence into the United States
under heavy expense for transportation
and customs charges. The California
fruit grower thus has special advantages
enjoyed nowhere else in this country,
and in this way the surprising profits
which he secures are accounted for. Al
the staple articles common to the other
States may be grown in California, ard
at a larger profit than anywhere else;
but the largest profits are made in the
articles which are produced in Asia
Minor and semi-tropic Europe, such as
olives and olive oil, Smyrna figs, fancy
wines and raisins, rare table grapes,
oranges, lemons, and long list of other
products. It is much easier to get A
start in California than one might sup
pose, the various colony enterprises
especially offering easy conditions
There are no bitter cold days when
work is impossible, and some kind of
crop may be made to grow at any time
of the year. The climate is mild, brac-
ing and healthful. Women especially
have more opportunities for making
money at pleasant occupations than
anywhere else in the world

Agent of the Southern Pacific Company,
San Francisco, Cal, will answer fully,
reliably and disinterestedly any letters
of inquiry from those who write for in
formation of any kind concerning Cali
fornia.

Getting Engaged.

No man should become engaged to a
woman without having perfectly frank
talk with her in regard to his means,
and the woman should be quite as hon
est in telling Of her qualifications and
willingness to undertake to master the
problem of making home on the in
come that seems assured to them both.
More than this, they both should 90
over this question deliberately, looking
at all sides of it. The changed mode of
living, the self denials, the added ex-
pense of sickness, if it should come, all
should be carefully considered. The
man who for years has spent his income
upon himself, living, perhaps. like his
neighbor, who has a fortune back of
him, will often be heightened at the
pictute of the future, which this careful
weighing of the subject presents to him,
and he may decide either to wait few
years or else do what, unfortunately, a
great many young married people think
they must do-go to boarding house.
The woman may have lived an aimless,
careless life, her father being able to
support her in comfort and, perhaps,
elegance. The picture may have as lit
tie charm for her as for the man who
asked her to marry him, and she, too,
is glad to settle upon the clearinghouse
as promising more style and ease for
less money than the simple home. This
is one solution of the problem. Another
common happening is that one or the
other fnds-or, perhaps, both the man
and woman do--that they have not the
independence and moral courage to be
willing to live in such simple, unfash-
ionable manner as their means would
compel them to. When two people feel
that way it would be better for them
and the world at large that they remain
single; for we have to-day too many
people who are trying to live as if they
had an income of many thousands,
when, in fact, it is often the case that
they have less than two thousand.

STONE WALL.

The work on the stone wall is pro-
crossing nicely. Mr.. Koenig has three
masons laying rock while the city has a
crew of seven men clearing the way for
them. The wall is already sufficiently
high to be out Of danger of water
unless we soon have great raise. AS
this improvement progresses the kick
ers can readily see that this wall will be
great protector of city and business
property in that part of town. The
rock used is Scotch granite taken out of
the Bensley slough a few years ago and
is delivered on the grounds for $500
per cord.

Local Entertainment.

There is to be an entertainment at

evening, October 9th, with an excellent

some of the teachers and number of

sured. The proceeds are to be applied
to the purchase of piano for the High

proof that the entertainment will be
frst-class in every respect. Tickets will
be on sale at the usual places at prices
within the reach of all.
