ton. But there is some serious
difficulty in determining when the
inspiration is effective, and how
far cruelty to animals is an offense
which merits Church discipline.
DR.. Leffingwell, in the Arena,
lays down this rule:
"Our moral duty to all living crea--
lures, from the highest to the lowest
form of life, is to treat them precisely
| as we ourselves should be willing 10
| be treated for the same objects IN
| view, were we instantly to exchange
with them every limitation and cir
cumstance of their condition and
FORM"
This is excellent doctrine, but
we must paddle our own canoes
many miles nearer to the millen-
ium, before we can take such heavy
freight on board.
OF late, there is question which
most seriously troubles those who
believe in the higher criticism "
Of mems relation to animals. What
shall be done with a horse when
we have used him for years, and he
is past his prime?
The customary way is to sell BIN
off, and leave the responsibility Of
his proper care to the conscience of
the purchaser. The duty of the
one who owned him, is not well
defined, and besides, the men or
women who have a hatful of tire
some problems of their own to
solve, have no time to waste on such
a subject. Besides, if the sugges-
ton of the great Bishop Butler is
correct, that animals have q" here
after" it makes the trouble much
greater, because, by bringing them
to untimely deaths, we may be
arresting their moral growth. AS
DR.. Arnold, of Rugby, said, "the
whole subject of the brute creation
is, to me, one of such painful mys-
terry that 1 dare not approach it,"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

In reply to the question of cor
respondent, asking in our issue of
the Goth, for the commandments
of Scripture, regarding the treat
ment of animals, we publish in an
other column a compilation of re-
cent literature on the subject.
While there appears to be no
specific commands given in the
Bible for the treatment of animals,
it is justly contended that those
who are inspired with its teachings,
are, necessarily, kind to beasts.
This appears to be a correct posi-

THE MISSION OF ENGLAND.

Dir. G.. \. Cursor, NJ. P, In hi:
book titled the problems of the
Far East" dedicates it to ''those
who believe that the British EN-
pire is, under Providence, the great
est instrument for good, the world
has ever SEEN"
Some American papers say that
this language is quite too conceited,
and stuffy with self-praise.
Whatever may be the ''glory and
shame of England" as related by
her own historians, during the last
two hundred years, it must be adj
mitted by every one, who makes
himself familiar with the condition
of the world, today, that the Brit
ish nation has in its hands, for set
Element, the grandest, the most far
reaching, and the most complicated
problem of modern times, and in
deed of any age, since the date OF
authentic history; it is the govern
ment, and final disposition of $780,
100000 of human beings in India
about one-fifth of the people of the
globe.
The people Of the United States
consider their own problem of deal
ing with 100000 of negroes, a
very serious one, but it sinks into
utter insignifcance beside this
grander question in the East.
1t is generally believed that the
withdrawal of British rule from
India, would leave that vast coun-
try in peace, and native rule would
quietly take its place. But every
British statesman, and every
student of current history knows,
that the withdrawal of that force
would precipitate those three hun
dred and fifty millions of people into
a cruel war ofraces, and of religions
into fierce fight between the Hin
doc and the Mohammedan, and it
would simply bring anarchy to one
fifth of the people of the globe.
Today, there is reign of law
and justice, and civil service, the
best in the world. The acute, edu-
Gated people of India are gradu-
ally learning the meaning and
value of Anglo-Saxon institutions,
and above all, the incerruptible |
administration of justice.
Men look out at the stare, every
night, and see system of worlds /; |
but they fail to comprehend it's |
vastness. So we, who now live, in
Guiding Britons themselves, fail to |
grasp the political situation in
India, which involves such impor-
tant consequences to mankind.
1t is the grandest historical
drama of the centuries, now in
action before us. On the little,
Insignificant isle, near the North
Sea, goes out a small force, but
with an organizing brain behind
it, which crosses oceans and CONT
nents, and holds at its feet, with
$4,000 effective soldiers, one-fifth
of the human race. 1t hold them
there without "moral rights," and
yet lift withdrew that force, 1t would
precipitate the greatest calamity of
modern times. The Lieutenant
Governor of Bengal said to us, in
1881: IF the Indians could agree
among themselves, British rule
would instantly end. We rule
them through their own differ
ences."
Mr.. Cursor has not stated more
than the truth.

OF lands tor hOmeSteadS a
member of the Planters Labor
and Supply Co., remarked
during a conversation, that the
occupation of lands by foreign
ers meant to a certain extent
the death blow to the rain in
dustry, for the reason that
every homesteader on timber
land began clearing as soon as
he took possession. One
honorable member of the last
legislature contended in de-
bate that the existence of trees
in any locality did not influence
rain in any way whatever. To
doubt the philosophy of this is
to argue oneself unacquainted
with the opinions of some of
the most learned men of this
world and the next. Several
of the States across the sea
have "Arbor Days on which
days trees are planted, not
only for decorative but useful
purposes. Here, when the
sugar crop depends largely
upon the quantity of rainfall,
we need trees quite as much
as in the deserts of the United
States. The Government
could appoint an arbor day
here and insert a clause in the
homestead deeds that would
in a measure settle the difficult
ty. If a homesteader insists
upon cutting away the timber
on his land let him be forced
to plant some shade trees, say
a fourth of the number cut
down, to attract the rain even
on off seasons. To the curious
as well as scientific people rain
guages are a good thing to
have. We sell them and good
ones too.
The physicians of the Board
of Health recommend that all
drinking water be boiled, and
we advise you to use an I'M
proved Stone Filter. You can
boil it if you wish but just take
a glass of the water so treated
and hold it up to the light.
You'll see more snakes in it
than a bi-chloride OF gold
student. Take the same
water and let it pass through
stone filter and it will be as
clear as crystal. We have all
sizes from So up. If you

Or to give to your stock at the

NOT GUILTY.!
such Is tho Verdict of the Jury In the case
of the People We. Mastau.

/
The famous trial OF the People ys. Sam
Mastau, charged with the murder Of
Ziade Wilma on the night Of May 5th
came to an end at six o'clock Tuesday
night by the jury bringing in verdict
! Of not guilty, after being out about two
hours.
This trial occupied the attention of
the court for six days, and before jury
was secured over $50 Jurors and talesmen
were examined. The testimony was ex-
haustive, going into the miuutest detail.
While it was not strong enough to re-
move all reasonable doubts in the minds
OF the jurors as to the guilt of the accus-
ed there were many circumstances
brought out that made 1t extremely pro-
babe that he was the guilty one.
The prosecution was conducted by
Prosecuting Attorney Halsey, assisted by
e. j. Mapes, prominent criminal law
yer OF Marquette, and the accused was
defended by Messrs. Peters Il Shaull. OF
Marquette and Newberry. 1t is needless
to say that each put forth his best
endeavor in the conduct of this trial.
TIE history of the case has been given
in detail in these columns and needs net
be repeated. Briefly stated Ziade Wilma
was found murdered in his cabin on Sun
day May 9th. He had been killed while
lying in his bed the night before, by q
charge OF buckShot in the back, the shot
being fired from outside the cabin through
window opposite the bed. The bed
when the body was discovered was
saturated with blood but the body
of the dead man lay prone on
the floor in front, indicating that be had
not been instantly killed, but had expired
in an attempt TO get up after being shot.
The night was dark and stormy such
one as an assassin would choose for such
foul deed. A lighted lamp in the cabin
assisted him IN his deadly aim. The
murdered man was alone, his wife having
gone to Michigamme the day before aud
there was no witness to the terrible
crime except the criminal himself.
Whether he will ever be brought to jus
tice time alone can tell. but for the good
name of our county we hope he may be.

Ichabod, whose communication appears
elsewhere, seems to feel aggrleved over
the treatment accorded him by the pas
tor of the NJ. E. church at Baraga, and,
according TO promise previously given,
we have accorded him space to defend
himself in this issue. We must candidiy
confess, however. that we cannot con-
ceive how the good cause can be pro-
NOTED by the airing of grievances
through the public press. The church
at Baraga is none too strong at best, and
matters Of difference, II any exist, be-
tween the pastor and members OF his
congregation should be settled at home
in o true Christian spirit. lchabod
claimed that his personal character had
been assailed, In which event he weuld
be entitled to be heard In self-defense;
but as his communication fails to speci-
fy in what respect his character has been
attacked candor compels us to admit
that the best interests OF the church
would have been better subserved 10 tho
breach of the premise than its fulfill
ment. For ought we know Ichabod may
have been wrouged; but he certainly
does not emulate the spirit Of Him who,
when smitten upon one cheek turned the
other also, and we are inclined to the
belief that his love Of controversy has
overcome, in a degree, his sincerity.
Christian gentlemen should not allow
acrimony to find Judgement In their
hearts and we shall certainly discourage
any further demonstrations Of this
character.

The annual fish product \of Michigan is
estimated by Statistical! Agent Moore to
be 81, 100, 900. The catch for 1898 was 20
per cent less than 1892, and in 1894 the
catch will be worse yet. Unless steps
are taken to prevent the fouling Of the
water with sawdust and the massacre by
fish nets, Mr.. Moore thinks it will be
only a question Of time when the lakes
will be practically stripped of fish. Nine
thousand citizens Of Michigan get their
living by fishing.
