THE PRICE OF A WIFE.
savages Place a Varying Value Upon Their
Chosen Helpmates.

Chosen Helpmates.
In the earliest times Of purchase a
woman was bartered for useful goods or
for services rendered to her father. In
the latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was Beena
marriage, where a man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin-the woman's. The
price of a bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver island varies from EGO to
e40 worth of articles. In Oregon an In
dian gives for wife horses, blankets
or buffalo robes; in California, shell
money or horses; in Africa, cattle.
A poor Damara will sell daughter
for one COW. A richer Kaffir expects
from to 80. With the Banyai, if moth
ing be given, her family claim her chill
dren. In Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained
for half dozen needles, or a coat, or
pair of shoes. An ordinary price is a
box of percussion caps. In other parts
goat or a couple of buckskins will buy
girl. Passing to Asia, we find her
price is sometimes 5 to so rubles, or at
others CARLOAD of wood or hay. A
princess may be purchased for 5000
rubles.
In Tartary woman can be obtained
for few pounds of butter, or where a
rich man gives 20 small oxen a poor
man may succeed with pig. In FIJI her
equivalent is whales tooth or mus
ket. These and similar prices elsewhere
are eloquent testimony to the little value
savage sets on his wife.-New York

Discouraging to Burglars.

There is little encouragement for a
man to be a burglar nowadays. When
he has an earnest aspiration to rise to
eminence i'll the profession, inventive
genius always does all it can to bother
him. For instance, the vaults of the
subtrcasury in San Francisco are fitted
with wires laid between every two rows
of brick, so that any attempt to inter
fere with the cement or the bricks will
disturb an electric circuit and sourd a
warning bell.-Boston Courier.

ElieS on the Wing.

A Russian has discovered by patient
research that the wings of fly vibrate
$50 times i'll a second, from which he
infers that a fly can perform the dis
tance of one kilometer per minute,
which is the rate of speed of an express
train. By flying straight in one direc-
lion without stopping fly could travel
:ound the world in less than 28 days.

Ten years ago Mr.. Edison applied for
a patent in his own country for a new
method of generating electricity, which
is now made public. 1t consists of a
furnace on which is placed an iron pot
or crucible, through the closed cover of
which stout rod of carbon passes down
to near the bottom of the crucible, where
it is surrounded by dry metallic oxides
or other compounds capable of attacking
carbon under heat and in rarefied air.
The closed crucible is connected with an
exhaust fan by an exhaust pipe. This
invention seems to have been abandoned
by Edison. At all events, it has not as
yet come into practical use.

STElLER'S SEA LION.
In Temper He Is More Lionlike Than the
Lion Himself

Steller's sea lion is the king Of the
pinnipeds Unlike nearly all other sea
animals that have been gloriously mis-
named after familiar land quadrupeds,
his appearance is quite lionlike, partic-
ularly his massive head and ferocious
countenance and his powerful neck,
covered with long, coarse hair of
tawny gray color. While he does not
roar quite so thunderously as the king
of the desert, he roars much oftener
and more universally. In temper he is
more lionlike than the lion himself, for
the old males are continually fighting
and cutting each other with their long
teeth in a way that real lions never
dream OF. They are timid and afraid in
the presence of their master-man-
but so is the lion also, for that matter,
though he is not a stupid idiot, like the
sea lion
Steller'S sea lion is at home in various
places in North America, from the Far
alone islands and Point Reys, near San
Francisco, northward along the Pacific
coast to the Pribilof islands. He loves
the most rugged and rocky shores, where
the breakers thunder INCREASINGLY
against the foot of tall black cliffs. 1t
is on the Pribilof islands, however, that
this animal may be seen in the greatest
numbers and at his best The herds that
make that wild spot their home number
many thousand individuals. The herd
that frequents the northeast point Of
st. Paul's island is drawn upon by the
natives for food and other purposes as
regularly as if it were a big herd of cat
tie. In Mr.. Elliott's time that one herd
is said to have contained between 49,
900 and 20, 900 head. --St. Nicholas.

Force of Habit.

There are no tables in the houses of
the Eskimo, and the women are there
fore in the habit of placing everything
on the floor. A Danish lady employed
several Eskimo women to do some wash
ing. Entering the washhouse, she saw
them all bending over the washtubs
that stood on the floor. To make them
more comfortable she had some stools
fetched and placed the tubs upon them.
By and by she looked in to see how they
were getting on, and to her astonish-
ment discovered the women standing
on the stools and STOPPING still more la
boriously over the tubs, which still re-
maipad on the floor.

OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose Of estab-
nshing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford a forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and In
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides of the questions at issue a fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed one-quarter of a column, if pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
have a motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THE EDITOR.

erty it owns; and whether 1T shall
be allowed BY artifice to evade for
an indefinite period, its legal and
just obligations.
1t is fact
1st. That the Manitoba was organ
lied for the express purpose Of own
ing and operating railroad.
I'd. That by the admissions of Mr..
ClOugh it does not now operate, though
it may technically own a railroad.
Sd. That it has abandoned the bus
mess and purposes for which 1t ,o,ts
formed, as even Mr. Clough admits
and hence has waived. abandoned,
and forfeited charter.
And now we come to the real object
of the resolution, on which Mr..
Clough does not seem to touch, viz !:
That, having abandoned its road and
the purpose for WHICH it was organ
lied, it has waived, abandoned. and
forfeited its charter; and we call on
the attorney general to do his duty
and commence suit in quo ,carranto
to wind up the affairs of said compa-
ny, have receiver appointed, and
sell all it's lands and property, there
by making them taxable beyond ques-
tion.
l drew the resolution advisedly,
and with full knowledge of all the
facts, having in view the testing of
this very question;-to determine
whether the railroads own the. state
or whether the state may own the
railroads.
| recall to mind the fact that it is
not so many years since Mr.. Clough
entertained somewhat the same views
as now express, and [ trust that he
may brush up his memory and return
to his first love.

might be compelled to do 90: which

Second. AS stated above, the ar
rangement by which the Great
Northern Railway Co., operates the
railways, owned by the Saint Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway
Co., is not deed but mere lease.
The Saint Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba Railway Co., still owns
every mile of the railroad which it
owned at the date of this lease; and
has since aided to that mileage, by
construction and purchase, more
than one thousand miles additional.
This lease reserves rental amount
ing to millions Of dollars per year.
The Great Northern Railway Com
pay has never paid any money, and is
not obligated to pay any money, as
the price of this lease, other than he
annual rental, as the consideration
for the making of it. Now, If it were
possible for the state to do so wild an
act as to forfeit the charter of the
Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba Railway Company, and wipe it
out of existence, what would become
of our ownership of the railroads,
costing up to date more than hun
dred million of dollars, and of the
yearly rentals which the Great
Northern Railway Co, has undertake
en- to pay? Would such action stop
the obligation of the Great Northern
Company, to continue paying rent,
and vest the ownersip of the railroad
subject to the mortgages upon it, in
the Great Northern Company? And
if not, to whom would the rentals be
paid? And what would be done with
them after they had been paid:
These of course, are mere matters OF
detail, and probably had not been
thoroughly considered by Mr.. Burke
when he drafted the resolution re.
ferred to; but as they must be taken
care of in the execution of any
scheme of the kind suggested it
would be interesting to know how it
! is proposed to treat them. Your;

ed, as follows:
Resolved, BY the Todd county
COnfinrsed IN mace
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-01-31
Mr.. Burke Replies.

In reply to Mr.. Clough's first point,
it will be noted that he expressly ad-
mits the correctness of my cOnclus
ions as to the income derived by the
company from running the road
but he said it was not gross earn
ings. Now in the name of common
ssnse, if the sum so received by the
Manitoba is not gross earnings, what
is it?
It is a self-evident fact
1st. That the company has an in.
come of $4,640, 286.4l per year.
I'd. That said sum is received from
running line of road; though it be
true, as claimed, that said sum is
paid for the rental of the roads, it is
none the less gross earnings, and by
the company's own voluntary act, the
only earnings received.
Mr.. Clough is terribly afraid the
state may make someone pay taxes
twice, but we opine our esteemed
friend has religious scruples against
allowing his company to pay taxes
once.
Conceding that he is correct, and
that his company does not owe any
gross earnings tax, since we allege, as
conclusion of fact and law, that the
Manitoba road is now justly and law
fully indebted to the state of Mime
sofa for fourteen years back taxes on
all it's land grant, and all other prop
erty not incident to the running of
the road, and now amounting to
many millions of dollars.
In order that we may not be misun-
derStood, we assert as conclusion of
law, that the lands and other proper
ty of the Manitoba have been taxable
from and since 1879, since it has re-
peatedly been decided by the supreme
court of the U. S. that the immunity
from taxation enjoyed by the St. Paul
& Pacific did not pass under the fore
closure sale-see decisions in analo-
gous cases.
But waving, for the present, the
question Off gross earnings and as
Stunning, for the sake of argument,
that Mr.. Clough is right, it must be
borne in mind that the Manitoba, by
it's lease to the Great Northern, had
apparently one Of the following OBJ
jectS in view:
LIST. To transfer the visible possess
sions of the road,-rolling stock and
revenue, TO the Great Northern, but
retaining the invisible, or naked le-
gal title, with a view to thereby
claiming that the act was not a sale,
and thereby hold for an indefinite Pc
Rod all the lands and other property
of the company, free from taxation;
since even Mr.. Clough must admit
that as soon as sale of said lands is
made to anyone they are taxable.
I'd. BY said lease chance was Of
fered to issue, by a new company,
stocks and securities and float same
on the public; and, if the past<histo-
ry of many roads should be repeated,
the road, in case of default in the
terms of the lease, would fall back to
the old company, in which case the
purchasers of the new securities
would be in the soup.
We consider the said lease a mere
subterfuge to evade the requirements
of law, and for an indefinite period
withhold the lands from taxation.
But it is not so much a question of
whether the Manitoba shall pay tax
on gross earnings, as whether said
company shall pay a tax on all prop
