ORANGE JUDD, whose death was
announced recently, was one OF the
remarkable products of American
civilizations; was another example OF
the poor boy without money and with
out influence working his way not
only into a wide field of usefulness
but into career that brought him
reputation, influence and wealth. He
was the founder OF the modern agri-
cultural journal. He was a pioneer
in carrying to the common people
the theories OF the scientists. He
made the American Agriculturist one
Of the most influential and one OF
the most widely circulated farmers
papers in the world. He added to
this the publication Of books suited
to the farmer and the stock-raiser,
and contributed as much as any other
one man to the progress Of the farm
ers OF this country. His paper, the
American Agrlculturist, up to 1873,
had a rapid growth, and at that date
had over 100000 subscribers in the
United States, and a good constitu-
ency in Europe. Mr.. Judd virtually
retired from the management in that
year and spent some years in Europe.
On his return he went to Chicago,
and established the Orange Judd
Farmer. He was always a hard
worker, a close student, a man domi-
mated by special enthusiasts, and
in his forty years of newspaper work
accomplished great deal of good.

ORDER OF THE GARTER.
The Most nlustrious Order of KnighthOot
I'm Existence.

The Most IllustriOus Order OF knighthood
I'm Existence.
The Order of the Garter was founded
In 1850 by Edward III. of England.
The sovereign, its head. and the num-
Der of the knights is limited to twenty
five natives and very small number OF
distinguished foreigners. AS the orig
inal number has never been enlarged,
this badge OF distinction continues as
valuable as at it's first institution; and
is still an honorable. though cheap,
present which the prince can confer on
his greatest subjects or allies. Men
whose fame is worldwide have regarded
it as the greatest testimony to their
merit to have the garter OF the order
tied around their left knee by the hands
OF England's sovereign. Even the
mightiest potentates esteem 1t dis
tinguished privilege to be admitted to
this honor. In 1857 Victoria installed
Napoleon III. as q member OF the
order, and with her own hands, much
to the offense of many of her staid sub
tects, tied the garter on his leg at a
session of the chapter held specially for
the purpose.
The historian Hume gives the follow
ing romantic account OF the institution
of The Order of the Garter, though he
declares that it is not supported by any
authentic authority: AT court ball a
favorite OF Edward, commonly supposed
to be the Countess Of Salisbury, dropped
her garter, and the King, taking it up,
observed some of the courtiers to smile
as IL they thought he had not obtained
this favor merely by accident, upon
which he called out. 'Honi soft qui NAL
pense'-evil to him that evil thinks
(another author adds that the King tied
the garter around his own leg and wore
it during the remainder Of the EVENING" ;
and as every incident of gallantry
among those ancient warriors was mag
nified into matter OF great Importance
he instituted the Order Of the Garter in
commemoration OF this event, and gave
these words as the motto OF the order.
This origin, though frivolous, is not
unsuitable to, the manner of the times
and It is indeed difficult by any other
means to account either for the seem
ingly unmeaning terms OF the motto OF
for the peculiar badge OF the garter
which seems to have no reference To
any purpose either Of military use oil
ornament.

MORE reprehensible than the idiotic
practice of discharging ''unloaded"
firearms is that of locking children in
house while parents or guardians
seek pleasure elsewhere. The latest
instance Of the terrible danger from
the latter source comes from town
in Tennessee, where three children
were imprisoned in their home while
their parents sought agreeable pas
time at some neighbours. On their
return they found their dwelling had
been burned and that their offspring
had persisted in the flames. Sympa-
thy for parents who make themselves
responsible for such casualties is
misplaced. Only the severest con-
demnation, IL not punishment, should
be added to any grief which they may
suffer. They deliberately jeopardize
the lives of their helpless progeny
that they may indulge their selfish
propensities for amusement.

pie did not want Home Rule; that the
union Of Ireland and Great Britain was
q decree OF nature which laws and trea-
ties had only recorded, and that the pres.

one, and the noble duke cannot make it

which has opposed Home Rule with all
the bitterness possible, is not 80 sanguine
as one might suppose of the defeat of the
bill in the Lords. In recent issue it
said that the members Of the upper house
had many things at stake on the defeat
of the bill, and quietly warned them
against making too many mistakes. The
general impression in England is that
the upper house will reject the bill, and
that when Gladstone passes few i'm
portant remedial measures for England
and Scotland he will appeal to the coun-
try and be returned to power with a
much larger MAORI y than he has in the
present parliament. In the face of such
victory the Lords dare not refuse to
pass the Home Rule bill.

EXPOSITION OPENED.

The eighth Minneapolis Exposition
opened Wednesday last. and the indica-
tions are that the big show will be well
patronized this season. Never in the
history of the exposition have the people
of Minneapolis turned out and filed the
big building as they did the past week.
The variety of the exhibits this season
are much more varied than ever before;
while the agricultural feature OF the show
is something new, and decidedly inter-
esting. The people of the Northwest
should avail themselves of this splendid
exhibition, and no doubt they will. Farm
ers particularly will see much to their
advantage there, and as the admission fee
is within reach of all, there is no reason
why any one should neglect such an OPP
portunity. The citizens lof Minneapolis
owe much to the exposition, and it is to
be expected that they will not be slow to
attend early and often. The manage
ment have spared neither money time
nor labor in their efforts to please the
people and we are sure that no one who
visits the exposition will go away disap-
nointed

Punch by the alleged humorous artist

DEFEAT PROBABLE.

The Home Rule measure, now before
the House of Lords, already seems
doomed to defeat. Friends of the cause
everywhere will regret such an outcome.
yet it seems inevitable. There Is much
to hope for, little to expect, from the
four hundred or more Peers who are now
to pass upon the measure. That body
has never yet established precedent for
justice or fairness towards Ireland or her
people and it is not probable that it will
do 80 now Such decision, then, seems
near at hand, followed by an adjourn
ment of parliament for stated period,
perhaps a month or more. On reas-
|sembling Mr.. Gladstone will resume the
items of bis Newcastle programme and
push them to passage by the closure, if
necessary. The Unionists are endeavor-
ing to Illustrate this manoeuvre and de-
clare that they will allow no work beyond
the Home Rule measure this year, but
the great Liberal is not to be banked in
the scheme he has outlined for the
autumn session. He is determined to
fulfill his pledges to the British de-
mocracy, whose representatives have adj
hered to him with answering fidelity
during the fight on the Home Rule bill.
Both the Irish and Radical members may
be relied upon to be constant in their
attendance at the fall session, when such
measures as the registration, parish coun-
ellis and eight-hour bills will be proposed
for passage by Mr.. Gladstone. In jan
uary, 994, the Home Rule bill will be re-
introduced into the Commons, passed,
and when rejected a second time by the
House of Lords, parliament will there
upon be dissolved for an appeal to the
country. In making that appeal Mr..
Gladstone's hands will be immeasurably
strengthened by the popular legislation
of the fall session and the result seems
hardly doubtful. When the ballots shall
again have been cast and Mr.. Gladstone
is found to have been endorsed by an
overwhelming majority, Home Rule will
then.haye been gained for Ireland. The
government viii then have the right to
request the present Peers to resign,
whose places will be filled by men in &C
cord with the party in power. Another
year will not have passed away without
granting Home Rule to Ireland.

THE COAL COMBINE.

A great deal of noise and buster was
made last winter by the state legislature
over what is generally known as the coal
combine. Men of reputed intelligence
and ordinary sagacity sat up nights in
the neighborhood of the state capitol
with the intention of getting at the in
side history of the great money eater of
the Countrywide coal combine. Extreme
measures were resorted to to get facts,
and indeed some unpleasant facts from
the coal dealers standpoint we're brought
to the surface. Not long since the legis-
lative committee having the coal ques-
tion in hand advised the people of the
Northwest not to purchase or contract
for their coal at present prices as they,
the committee, believed that lower prices
would be announced before long. We
do not wish to discourage the committee
in the least, but we are afraid that the
old prices will prevail the coming winter,
and that the coal barons will continue to
extort two prices for their goods. The
legislature of this state is great and
ponderous body, but when it assumes to
correct an evil that lies outside it's juris-
diction then it is assuming too much.
The coal question, like the Prohibition
question, cannot be contro led by an in
dividual state with any deg1 90 of success.
A state may pass law prohibiting the
sale Of any particular article inside it's
boundaries, but, it cannot prohibit the
manufacture of that article in another
state, and so this contraband commodity
can be successfully struggled across the
Prohibition line. In the same way can
the coal barons of the country smile with
satisfaction when they consider that the
Minnesota legislature has no power out.
side Minnesota. The coal question is one
OF national as we'll as of local Importance,
and until congress takes some concerted
action to wipe out that national plague
the coal combine-so long will we con-
tinue to pay two prices for our coal.
When congress gets through with the
silver question, and repeats the Mckinley
tariff, it will no doubt turn it's attention
to the coal combine.
