A year ago this fall Hon. Dan Law
Ter, of St. Paul, was racing with him
self up and down the state preaching
against monopolies, especially rail
roads. Some thought Dan was honest
in his declarations, but of course they
were few. A change has come over
the ex democratic candidate for gov
ernor-no man s-man. He is now the
paid attorney of a railroad company.
Dan, dear, we thought you were too
pure for that. Just think of the poor
farmers and laboring men, whom you
love SO well, that you have left to
fight the battle alone. They did not
think you would go over to the enemy
so soon.

The level-headed editor of the
Window Reporter comments as fol-
lows on one Of Kings balderdash
Editorials: The Adrian Democrat
says that the admission of the Wor-
Ellington ADVANCE that the wealth of
Massachusetts, is due to a protective
tariff is more surprising because it
is made to a farming community,
many of the residents of which are
mortgaged to this same state of Mas
sachusetts and who are tryingto solve
the problem of how that great state
has succeeded SO much better than
others in fabulous riches.' The
Democrat thus admits that if Mime
sofa was manufacturing state it
would be supporter of protection.
At the same time it alphabetically
says that there is nothing in common
between the farmer and manufacturer,
while today in the market the farmers
wheat is worth less than fifty cents
bushel and millions of factorymen are
out of employment. 1t seems as
though the farmers could see some
thing in common between a farming
community and manufacturing
community. Itseems as though they
could see that when factorymen have
work at good pay farmers would have
a better market for farm products
than when factorymen are fed from
charity, and the farmers themselves
made to do their part in thus sustain
ing starving people in the present low
price of farm products. That the
farmer and manufacturer are separa-
ted in interest is the merest demo-
cratic slop. The Estern states, with
their millions Of population, can't
produce enough to eat, and Minneso-
ia is part of the storehouse from
which they derive sustenance. What
a short sighted policy it is to cripple
the east-to cripple the manufacture
ing population in the pretended be-
lief that it will benefit the west, or the
grain producer. And, by the way,
Minnesota is fast becoming manu-
featuring state. We have good
many hundred thousand people who
are not cereal producers and who
must be fed. Farmers want to see
those people able to buy farm pro-
ducts, but thousands in st. Paul and
Minneapolis are now out of work and
at the very threshold Of our farms are
unable to buy wheat and oats and
corn and meat We should be glad
to see our young friend of the Demo
crat recognize the fact that this is a

"of two ladies and three gentlemen on
the summit of this mountain on August
4. On the morning of that day the sky
was passably clear; at noon there was
q thick fog. Between six and seven
O'clock in the afternoon (the wind
being south to southwest the fog sud-
denly cleared in places SO that we could
see the surrounding country in sum
shine through the riffs. We mounted
to the flagstaff in order to obtain q
better view of the scenery, and there
we at once observed in the fog, in an
easterly direction, a double rain bow
forming a complete circle and seeming
to be twenty to thirty feet distant
from us In the middle of this we all
appeared as black, erect and nearly
life-size silhouettes. The outlines Of
the silhouettes were SO sharp that we
could easily recognize the figures of
each other, and every movement was
reproduced. The head of each indi-
vidual appeared to occupy the center of
the circle, and each Of us seemed to be
standing on the inner periphery of the
rainbow. We estimated the inner ra-
dius of the circle to be six feet. This
phenomenon lasted several minutes,
disappearing with the fog bank, to be
reproduced in new fog three or four
times, but each time more indistinctly.
The sunshine during the phenomenon
seemed to us to be unusually bright
Mr.. KiellandT orkii- president of
the Telmarken Tourist club, writes to
me that the builder of the hut on the
top of Gausta has twice seen spectacles
of this kind. but in each case it was
only the outline Of the mountain that
was reflected on the fog. He had never
seen his own image, and he does not
mention circular or other rain bows

France Going to Decay.

The decrease in the population Of
France was the subject of special dis
cussion before scientific congress in
Paris few days ago. Numerous recon-
m endations were made by the savants
to correct the evil, but the wisdom of
many of them may be doubted The
doctors recommended, among other
things, the strict execution of the law
regarding vaccination, military service
for two years, freedom from taxation
for large families, and the heavy taxa
ton of all bachelors over forty years
old who have not adopted children
The congress also proposed a way Of
founding families without the necessity
of civil or religious marriages. revO-

tunately will be frowned upon by the
great majority of the French people

IL a myth, started for the purpose Of
frightening colored people and other
superstitious ones. There are scores
OF people, however, who not only saw
the bird, but plainly heard the tinlsle
of the bell about its neck as it passed
over here, although the creature flew
too high to be in range of the dozen or
more rifles aimed at it.
The bell, which must be small and
light one, or the bird could not fly
with it, has rich, silvery tone, and
was evidently used on some Alabama
lady's tea table originally. Whenever
the bird makes its appearance in the
superstitious portions OF the south the
negroes run affrightedly into their
cabins and remain hidden until its de-
parture is announced, as 1t is regarded
by the more ignorant ones as a verita-
BILE devil, which brings with it all
sorts of evils.
