Auditor Porter, in an interview in the
Fargo Forum, takes very decided stand
on the question of the governors appoint
ments on the agricultural board. He tells
the people of Fargo frankly if the gov
ernor is not sustained by the people of
that city, Operations on the building will
stop and the institution must necessarily
be seriously crippled. The Auditor will
not recognize the vouchers or pay the bills
of the old board--at least not until the
courts command.

Bismarck Tribune: A great fight is be-
ing waged by the Minnesota legislature a.
gainst the coal combine and in the senate
the other day Mr.. Donnelly stated that he
had received letter from a coal baron in
the east, threatening that if the fight was
not discontinued Minnesota would be shut
off entirely from the hard coal market of
the season of 1874. 1t is hoped the war
will be continued. Minnesota does not
need to pay tribute to the coal barons of
Pennsylvania. Let her turn. her eyes to

The case of the w. G. T. U. against Mrs
Linda w. Slaughter, for the possession of
a certain building in Bismarck, which has
been in court for year or more, has been
at last decided against that estimable lady,
and last week Sheriff Donnelly took pos
session of the building and set Mrs.
Slaughter's household goods out upon the
sidewalk.
Under the law as it now stands any per-
son whether resident of the state or not,
having tree claim upon which the trees
have been planted and cultivated as re-
quired by law for eight years, can. make
proof and secure title to tie land whether
they have succeeded in growing trees or
not. This IS the amendment that was
secured by Picker of South Dakota at the
late session of Bismarck Settler.

to keep him in entire ignorance of What his
father had done In New York. We found
a man who in such a cause was willing to
lie with a clear conscience and make the
son believe that he had been employing the
father all these years. He doesn't know
that this is a charity hospital. And he is
staying at the house of DR.. -, who pre-
tends that he has been his fathers physi-
clan for many years. But the old mans
gratitude makes it easy to keep up the de-
ception."

moved by it.

but it was not until the old man had
recovered from his delirium u heard
what the nurse had lone that We found ont
what an utter sacrifce his life had been for
tho last ten or eleven yeas. The Thought
OF meeting his son seemed to fill him with
joy un speakable. but there was a load on
his mind still. And at last he conf1ded to
tho nurse what it was. In France he had
ha n snug little fortune. But an unfortu-
nate investment and a false friend swept il
nearly all away. Then HIS wife died, and
there was left him nothing to live for but u
son, who wna just nine years old. That waa
eleven years ago. He came TO New York to
begin life over again. determined in any
event to make money enough to give his
boy the education and training OF a gentle
man. But without a trade or profession he
could get no work by which he could make
money enough TO support himself and his
son in Paris. He was discharged from ono
place because his clothing was &C
shabby. What little he had saved he had

took to begging. He found that that way
he could 80 shabby and live on next to
nothing. and send nearly all the money that
was given to him to Paris to pay for the
education and support Of his darling boy.
When his son grew older he made him be-
lieve that he had found congenial employ
ment and was happy and prosperous. And
he kept up that fiction year alter year with
heroic TO titude, living meanwhile Heaven
only knows how, but sustained by the
knowledge that his body knew nothing of
the pangs of poverty, and was getting a
good education and training IN Paris. But
what marred the JOY he felt at the thought
of meeting his son was this fear that when
he came to New York he would find out that
his father had been a beQgar.
I'VE rsassured him by telling him that
that knowledge should be kept from his
son at all hazards. And when the son

PHILOSOPHICAL THEORIES.
They Are Based on Early Teachings
Known as the Mysteries.

They Are Based on Early Teachings
Known as the Mysteries.
Last evening at the Theosophical head
quarters, 6l04 L street, the conclusion of
the paper on "The Esoteric Basis OF
Christianity was read, and in its course
the following points were made:
First-The "fall of man. explained,
esoterically, as the descent of spirit into
matter.
Second-As man has fallen so he must
rise. The redemption defined esoteri-
cally.
Third-Adam, a type of the earthly
man; Christ, type of the heavenly man.
Eourth-The divinity of Christ is as GER
tain as the humanity of Adam. The one
completes the other. If Christ was not di-
vine, then is humanity not divine, and
there is no salvation possible for 1t. II
humanity is not divine, then there could
have been no Christ, and all mems spirit
ual aspirations are empty dreams.
tifth-There can be no conflict between
true science and true religion.
SiXth-Thes cross has been a universal
symbol in all ages.
Seventh-The atonement in esotericism
agrees with that taught in the gospel OF
John and in the epiStles of Paul.
Eighth-We do not deny or destroy
Christian doctrines; we affirm and re-
establish. Every doctrine-inspiration
and prophecy, the fall and the redemp-
ton, the crucitiXion and the resurrection,
the divinity of Christ and the atonement
are one and all susceptible of an esoteric
Interpretation, and are based upon earlier
teachings, known as the mysteries.
