Virtue OF Nicotine.

From investigations at Green
witch, it appears that the cholera
bacillus docs not like smoke. 1t
shares the feelings, says the Lon
don Telegraph, of the tribe OF
cannibals who petitioned an evan
gelical society to send some mis-
sionaries who were members of
the Anti-Tobncco Society. The
authorities at the workhouse,
where cholera recently broke oLt,
have discovered that male inmates
who had been great smokers, or
who had been in the habit of
chewing tobacco. passed unscath-
ed through the epidemic. Nearly
every man was or had been a
smoker, and the statistics show
that only eighty-three males were
attacked, as compared with 100
females. 1t was found that when
a man was seized with the disease
it took "a very mild form. Several
old Irish women in the workhouse,
who smoked before their admis-
sion, and now, when they could
manage it, had all escaped. Not
one of them had been attacked.

Letter That Has Travelled over

On the first day of April last
DIR. G. r. Wood mailed a letter
addressed to A. w. Hit, NJ. D.,
Terrace Cottage. Laudour, Mus
soonie North Western Presidency
India, and today it came back to
him through the local postoffice,
bearing twenty-one different post
marks and several inscriptions.
According to these the
letter reached it's destin-
alton only to find that its owner
had moved to Bilaspur in another
presidency. 1t was forwarded to
him there, but the doctor had left
for the United States, leaving in
structions to have his mail forward
ed to the Foreign Mission in
Chicago. The letter duly followed
him there but he had not turned
up, which is shown by the fact Of
its being advertised in Che Chi.
cago papers. No one applying for
the letter it was returned to the
writer at once. If DR.. Wood had
not taken the precaution of hav-
ing his name and address printed
on the envelope, it would have
been sent to the dead letter Office
in Washington, opened to find the
name of the writer and then Re
turned to him.
DR.. Wood should keep the
letter rs e travelled curiosity, for
it twice crossed the Pacific, At
lantic, Mediterranean and Indian
Oceans, passed twice through the
Suez canal, and by rail twice
across the continents of America
and Europe, besides several
thousand miles in India. All
of this was done in a
little over six months, during one
or more of which it was lying in
the Chicago office. Practically it
shows the marvellous facilities for
the careful transmission of mail

civilized nations of the world.

The BEST TREATMENT FOR CHO-
LERA-When promptly and pro-
perly treated a recovery is almost
certain. This was fully demon
strated during the prevalence of
Cholera in New York in 1866.
Go to bed as soon as the first
symptoms appear, remain as quiet
as possible, and take Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhma Remedy in double doses
until the pain ceases, and then
after each operation of the bowels
more than natural. Send for a
physician, but take this remedy
in this way until he arrives. The
remedy should be kept at hand
ready for instant use. 1t should
be taken within five minutes after
the first symptoms appear. Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rh@a Remedy is the most success
ful medicine that has yet been
produced, not only for the mllder
forms Of bowel complaint, but for
the most virulent forms of Asiatic

PRESS REPORTS OF BRAD
STREET AND DUNN.

Out of all the jugglery of facts and
statistics by Plutocratic press Moth
ing better illustrates their modus
Operandi than their comments on
commercial reports. Each week we
see under loaded headlines the same
old gag-"that after an unusually
long period of industrial and trade de-
preston better times are already at
hand" Further comment then calls
the readers attention omit to in
creased activity in some line
Of business dependent upon the
season of the year. II win
ter is approaching we are told
that trade in fuel and winter clothing
is livelier than it was, Tin June). If
spring is approaching we are informed
that brisk demand has already
sprung up for cotton, silk and other
summer goods. If some portion of
the country has been blessed with a
good crop prominent mention is made
of scarcity of help in that locality, in
creased wages, Unprecedented demand
for transportation and general bust
ness activity there. While the full
report of either Bradstreet or Dunn
if carefully and intelligently read has
each week for the last three years
shown a most alarming state of trade
and industrial depression. While these
weekly commercial reports have in
bly, shown as whole falling off
both in trade and genera prices. The
old Plutocratic press has each week
headed this column with it's falla-
cious, misleading and deceptive OPP
timism. Over the most depressing
and discouraging reports the old party
papers have never ceased to display
the glittering headlines of a brighter
future and the false promises of bet
ter times. e. A. T.

cheap transportation from Chicago to
the lake region north, is what is pro-
posed by the Chicago & Wisconsin In

has just been incorporated by Chicago
capitalists, under the laws Of WiscCn-

The route of the projected line is not

line will be run also to Milwaukee and

BLESSINGS OF LOW PRICES.
Brainered Journal.


The Pioneer Press of ST. Paul re-
Gently contained an editorial setting
forth the blessings of low prices for
farm products to the working people
who have to buy them. 1t overlooks
the fact that low prices for the pro-
ducts of the farm suit in low wages
in all lines of industry. Did you ever
know a workingman to sit down at
his table and eat cheap bread and get
up and go out and find good wages Of
fered for his labor? On the contrary
does he not find wages low, the labor
market overstocked, and many people
unable to procure the comforts of life
even at the low prices prevailing?
G. A. Pierce, who has been travel
ling through Crow Wing county lately
says that the sentiment in favor Of
the free coinage of silver is over
whelming in the country districts.
The farmers do not think that forty
cent wheat and ten-cent potatoes are
just the thing to get enthusiastic
over.

ard prices, anyhow? The finest crops
that benefcient Providence can give

THE FARMERS IGNORED.
THEY MUST BE AGGRESSIVE
Magnolia, MINI

THEY MUST BE AGGRESSIVE
Editor Representative:
Excuse plain farmer, but I feel that
it will be necessary for the farmer to be
rather aggressive than otherwise. Hav-
ing read the list which our governor has
sent to the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce, and not being able to find single
farmer among the whole lot l felt that l
had to do something radical.
The farmer of the Northwest is more
interested, or ought to be,-in this pro-
ject than in anything yet proposed by
the Peoples or any other party for his
economical advancement We farmers
ought to be foremost in this movement.
Of course, men like Pillsbury and real
estate boomers of Duluth are naturally
very much interested, but in no such
measure as are the railroad-ridden pro-
ducers, the Northwestern farmers If we
are to survive in the deadly competition
now going on in the production of bread
stuffs and other agricultural products we
need to use every available opportunity
to cheaper and liberate communication
and transportation from the relentless
grip in which it is now held by the soul
less corporations. Yours truly,
G. AHLNESS.
Hanska, Mimi, Sept. %.
The following is Mr.. Ahlnesss letter to
Governor Clough:
Hanska, Mimi, Sept. 23-To His Elk
cellency, The Governor of the State of
Minnesota.-Sr: In the newspapers has
appeared list of names purporting to be-
names of delegates, selected and ap-
pointed by your excellency, to represent
this state in the waterway convention
presently to meet at Cleveland, O.
AS this project is of more interest to the
producers of this state than to any other
class of people it would have been but
natural that the farmers should have pre-
dominated in this movement, and 1t was
confidently expected that the chief exec
utive, who had the appointing power,
should have seen proper to so arrange it..
There is no doubt but that delegation
composed of the sturdy, intelligent aver
age Minnesota farmers would have
brought as much and more influence with
it, than one composed of lawyers, jobbers
and trades people. And it is surprising
that your excellency should think other
wise. It would be unjust to claim that
there were no farmers intelligent enough
to fill chair in that convention, but it
would greatly release the mind of your
humble servant if your excellency could
produce another and more satisfactory
reason, for the otherwise ineXplicable
conduct of our executive in this instance.

ANOTHER JUDGE GONE WRONG.

y. S. Judge Sanborn, at Minneapolis,
has decided that the Great Northern
road may consolidate with another
road in the face Of the law Of Mime
sofa prohibiting it. He claims it can
do this because the state gave it that
privilege in its charter. But it takes
two roads to make a bargain. Does
the Northern Pacific road have like
provision in its charter? The papers
don't say what Judge Sanborn
thought Of this. The Great North
ern may have the right to combine,
but if the Northern Pacific does not
possess that right, how can it COM
bine?
The most important part of this
opinion is the facility with which a
United States judge can set aside a
state law. Such judge can see the
vested right of corporation with his
eyes shut, but the vested right of a
free people to enact their own laws he
could not see with Lick telescope.
The United States Judges, with the
exception Of Judge Caldwell. have
united in conspiracy against the
people of the cOuntry.-Helena News.

PARODY ON TARA'S HALL.

By Monsini
For the Representative.
The fame that once thro' Faneuil Hall
The soul of patriots shed.
Now hangs it's forms on Faneuil wall
AS if that soul were fled;
So sleeps the pride of Washington
So glory's thrill is DER,
And hearts that beat for victory won
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more to chief and ladies bright
The fame of Faneuil swells;
The horde of plutes, who scott at right,
It's tale of ruin tells;
Thus freedom now SO seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives,
Is when some heart indignant breaks
To show that still she lives.

PROSPERITY RETURNING,

How long will the old party slaves
listen to this ''glad tidings Of great
joy?" Where does this cry come from9
Does it come from the thousands of
merchants and tradesmen who are
forced to sell their wares and mer-
chandise on falling market? Can
the farmer see returning prosperity
in 40c wheat, 10c potatoes and CORE
spondingly low prices for other farm
products? Does the skilled mechanic
see returning prosperity when every
day sees the Introduction of some i'm
proved machine to take from him his
job and add to the profits of his en-
ployer? Does the owner of any form
or property either real or personal see
prosperity returning when every to-
morrow sees his property worth less
than today? Can any debtor see pros
perity returning when each tomorrow
requires more of his products or labor
to pay his debts that would have been
required to-day? Can there be return
ing prosperity concurrent with falling
prices? Can people be prosperous
Think of these questions and give no
hasty answer. When you hear man
say times are better or prosperity is
returning examine that mans sur
roundings. II he receives fixed
salary he can with his salary buy
more of lifes luxuries and necessities
and he naturally looks upon the in
creased purchasing power of his salary
as returning to him more prosperity.
Where is the increasing pros rity of
those who supply this Salaried man at
starvation and bankrupt prices?
When your neighbor says times are
improving see whether he is not the
beneficiary under some will, got some
public pull, some monopoly. Ask
whether he is money lender, a de-
partment storekeeper crushing the
life out of smaller dealers. Learn
whether he belongs to some trust, is
landlord collecting rents, holder Of
bonds or interested in a National Bank
or Metropolitan Daily. His circum-
stances and conditions surrounding
in every instance furnish the key by
which you may read the true signs of
the times. Prosperity is returning
omit all it's bOunties to the few and
receding from the masses. The
masses from necessity are growing
more economical, giving up the
palaces for a cottage, moving from
cottages into tenements,and from the
tenement to the hovel. Thousands
are walking because too poor to ride,
marriages are postponed or laid on
the table sine die for financial rea-
sons. Births are decreasing, suicide
and crimes are increasing all for the
same reasons. When you wish to
know whether "Prosperity returning"
is reality or a chestnut, just mark
the general trend Of prices When
prices are going up all along the line
you have prosperity returning in
reality. When prices are universally
failing prosperity returning" is a
chestnut, lie to quiet the masses.
