Z Are Our Legs to Vanish?

DR.. Emil Young, professor of physi-
ology at the University Of Geneva al
lowing scientific speculation to run
away with him, is concerned lest lin a
thousand years or SOY the legs of the
human species will practically disap-
pear. ''Men refuse more and more to
walk, though walking is the whole
soonest of physical exercises. Steam,
electricity, the rope railways, tricycles
and bicycles have changed the whole
aspect Of Swiss touring. Everybody
seems anxious to get everywhere any
way except by the use of his legs. In
another generation our travelling bal
looms will hang outside our windows or
our electrical coaches stand outside
our doors. They will be produced so
cheaply that every man will have his
own chariot. Hence our legs will be-
come .superhuous, then they will be
crippled and shrink to hideously small
dimensions until at last they will
finally disappear This seems to be
science run mad. DR.. Young is UNI
necessarily alarmed. But even if the
year 5000 A. D. should verify his APP
prehension, the people Of America,
Especially those residing in Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyom.

Hon. a. n. DARE, Of Elk River,

Hon. A. n. DARE, of Elk River,
is not afraid to come out fat-footed
and express his preference for
United States senator. He favors
Senator Washburn and does not
care who knows it. Friends and
foes of Senator Washburn will
alike respect Mr.. Dare for his out
spokenness. The man who has
the courage of his convictions al
ways commands respect. The
vacillating man is regarded with
distrust by everybody, and while
he may have no enemies he will
have few friends. We predict
that when the session of the legis-
lature is ended A. n. Dare will
have as many friends as any mem
Der Of the house.

N. H. INGERsoLL, Of the Brain

crossing clerk Of the house, and
he is entitled to the position.
Mr.. Ingersoll has always been a
consistent Republican and has
labored increasingly to promotethe
interests of his party, besides he is
experienced, competent and a
thorough gentleman, and is backed
by the solid delegation from the
18th district. Such editors as In
gersoll, French, Strain, Bowling,
Whlteman, Hays and Schmahl are
deserving of recognition. They
are honest and earnest Republican
workers. But such a fellow as

OUR representatives in the next leg
islature will need to keep a sharp
watch on Minneapolis or we will lose a
portion of Fridley at least. Hennepin
county has long viewed the southern
part of Anoka county with an envious
eye and if it ever gets half a chance we
will find ourselves minus our lively lit
tie village and one of the best tax pro-
ducing towns in the couuty.-An0ko
Herald.
No territory can be detached
from Anoka county without the
consent Of a majority of the voters
of that county, and in no event can
any organized county be reduced
below four hundred square miles.
See article XII of the State consti-
tuition. Unless the Anoka people
are willing, Hennepin county can
never secure a square foot OF
Anoka's territory under the pres
ent State constitution.

JOHN GooDNow, the hustling
Minneapolis politician, is in bad
odor at present, on account Of a
$500 contribution to the Republi-
can county committee Of Henne-
pin county, which it is claimed
was not properly accounted for by
him to his fellow members of the
committee. The UNION has no
particular affection for Mr.. Good
now, but we are decidedly of the
opinion that too much prominence
has been given the matter. John
is a practical politician and is not
in the habit of proclaiming party
secrets from the house tops. The
affair has been unduly magnifed.
There is no sense in attempting tc
make a mountain out of a mole,
hill. \ |

dams, in the shape Of petition
TO Our Great Father in Wash
ington, " appears elsewhere in this
issue. The petition was sent to
Hon. n. Richardson, Of Little
Falls, and was by him forwarded
to Washington. The Indians re-
quest that their annulties be paid
them at. Mile Laos, and that they
be permitted to remain there. Any
money paid these Indians at Mile
Laos will be simply wasted, will
do them no good whatever. The
government has offered, time and
again, to furnish these Indians
with comfortable homes at White
Earth, provide them with teams
and supplies and put them in a
position to be self-sustaining. But
the Indians have listened to the
counsel of interested white men
men who wish to secure contract
for their removal and stubbornly
refuse to accept the generous offer
of the government If the gov
eminent was to disburse $500, 900
among the Mile Laos Indians to-
day, in less than a month schem-
ing white men would be in possess
sion of every dollar of the amount
and the Indians would be no better
off than they are at present. The
only, and the proper thing to do
is to remove the Indians to White
Earth. During the past three
years many of the Indians who
formerly made their home at Mile
Laos have gone to White Earth
and are, gettingly along nicely
are in comfortable circumstances.
We hope the government will
not change it's policy toward the
Mile Laos Indians. They should
be given to understand that they
must accept the liberal terms Of.
fered them, or remain at Mile
Laos and take the consequences.

his name over the butcheries of

horrors can be found nowhere in
the history Of the world as has
been, and is now going on over in

President Cleveland this year is
the longest one that he has ever

THERE is little doubt that Mr.. Sabin
is at the head of a very formidable con-
spiracy-if such it can be called-to
defeat Senator Washburn for re-elec-
ton. There are a great many roots to
Mr.. Sabin and the spirit of revenge
will lead him to make a desperate
fight. The odds are against him but if
in the end the right sort of man from
outside the twin cities can be induced
to contest for the honors Mr.. Wash

the women and children are not all
crying for him and that here and there

labor will not have been barren of good

Anything to beat Washburn is a
poor motto. Certainly he is not
the only man in Minnesota capable
Of representing our State in the

VERTICAL writing has been agl-
tated considerably within the last
year or SO by class of people who
are evidently in pursuit Of noto-
riety more than usefulness or
beauty. The old right slant is
strongly implanted in America
and is likely to hold it's place for
years to come. If ever replaced
by any other style, the left slant is
the one to adopt. It is easily
written, has an element of beauty
and has been for many years usec
to a large extent throughout the
country.

Several of our leading citizens have
suggested that entertainments be got
ten up during the winter to add to the
hearse fund already on hand, and pro-
cure a hearse. Time and again this
matter has been agitated, and why not
carry the work, SO substantially
started, through to a successful issue?
One hundred and forty-fve dollars are
lying in our bank deposited for that
purpose. One good dramatic perform
ance, in Jesmer's Opera House, would
secure all that is now needed to get a
good hearse. Every person in the vii
lage feels an interest in this matter,
and every one would contribute some
thing toward getting what is yet
needed. We have the talent for a
good play. Let some one start the
good work, and carry it through.
