BIBLES INFLUENCE.

Every now and then, says the
News and Observer, some bril-
liant skeptic or matarialist tells
us that the Bible is not read
these days and that it is losing
its hold upon the people. As a
matter Of fact observation ought
to teach to the contrary, but it
is rarely safe to rest a truth
upon so uncertain a ching as
individual observation. "Give
'em facts" is the true Gradgrind
method. The last issue Of the
London Quartely Review shows
from figures that never before
has there been so great a de.
mand for the Bible as now. In
England alone about three mil
lion copies are issued every
year. There are two hundred
million copies in circulation in
$50 different language and the
demand is yearly increasing.
In the face Of these figures
nobody need lose sleep because
the Bible is going into disuse.
II is today the great propelling
force in all civilized countries,
and those that follow it's pre-.
cepts most closely are the most
prosperous and useful.

PREGNANT FACTS.


There can be no genuine busi-
ness revival, nopermanent nation
al prosperity, says the Lnchburg
News, until we return to bi-metal-
ism and restore to silver the mon
ey character given it by the fcun-
ders Of the government. Bi-me-
tallists do not propose to "revolu-
tionize the monetary conditions Of
the country" as charged by Cleve-
land. Those conditions have al
ready been reyolutionized by the
demonetization Of silver and BIZ
metalists are only demanding
that they be restored, as establish
ed by the constitution.
Under the momentallic system
the few have been enriched 1t the
expense Of the many. The farm
ing and laboring elements have
suffered most. Generally, where
there has been an increase of
wealth at all, it has occurred in
the cities while there has been a
falling off in the rural districts.
The statistical abstract, pub
lished by the treasury department,
contains a statement of the true
values Of all property, real and
personal, in the several states Of
the Union for each decade from
1860 to 1890. This statement
shows that during the decade in
which silver was demonetized
from 1870 TO 1850, there was a
depreciation Of such values in the
state Of New York to the extent
of s192,941, ,26I, During the fol.
lowing decade, from 1880 to 1890,
the effect Of the revolutionizing
process was shown in an appre-
ciation ofsuch values in the state
Of New York to the extent Of 81
26s, ,701, ,99l. BY far the greater
part Of this increase, too, was in
personal property and not in real
estate-the mere piling up Of dol
lars, the result Of the constantly
increasing purchasing power Of
gold. New York Is the creditor
of the nation, and this process Of
accumulation has been going on
until in the single year, 1s93-'9l,
out OF 43 states in the Union, all
from which official returns have
been received, 81, showed d depre-
ciation Of assessed values Of real
and personel property amounting
to $500, 100000. In the remain
ling u there was an increase
amounting to sS3s, 100000. OF
this increase s235, 900 occurred
in the state Of New York.
These figures show that under
the process Of reyolutionizing the
monetary conditions, commenced
in 1873, property values have
been steadily falling off in the
South and West, while in New
York, the money lending center
they have increased with wonder
full rapidity. Several eastern
states have profted like New
York, but not TO the same extent
The lesson illustrates the advan-

A CORRECTION.

Editor Willmar Tribune:
The last issue of the Hammer
contains the following
.:'Did Dennis O'Brien and the
Board do what was fair to the
Independent District of Willmar,
when the ten thousand dollar
bond was sold at one-tenth of
one per cent premium"
Allow me to inform Mr.. Hille-
Doe that l have hitherto labored
under the impression that l did
not do the fair thing to myself
III that matter, as the following
fact may convince even bin:
At the time I made the bid for
the bonds, l hoped to be able to
sell the same to the Burlington
Savings Bank of Vermont,
through A. +. Kelley of Mime
.apolis. Said bank however, re-
fused to take them, for the rea-
son that the district was heavily
bonded and the bonds were to
run only a short time. l next
tried to dispose of them to H. P:
Upham ofSt. Paul, who informed
me that he had already declined
to buy them. (Mr. Upham had
held the bonds for whose refund
ing these bonds were issued.) l
then turned the bonds over to
l.. 0. Thorpe, who negotiated
their sale in Minneapolis. After
paying MIR. Thorpe's expenses in
delivering the bonds, Hound my
self short $3.50 of realizing what
| had paid for same.
So, Mr.. HiIleboe, taking $3.50
out OF my own pocket to COM
plete the deal constitutes my on
ly Offense in connection with those
bonds. 1t seems to me the Inde-
pendent District of Willmar is
hardly the right party to COM
plain of same deal.
It convinced me, however, that
a tive-year bond is not desirable
property to sell when compared
with Il village bond running
thirty years. To compare such
is simply ridiculous, and is on a
par with the rest OF the accusa,
tions emanating from the Ham.

about the house, and a good
warm sling after & long cold ride,

abOut the house, and a good
warm sling after a long cold ride,
or severe exposure, or a glass of
beer instead Of poor filthy water
on a hot day is not~considered by
them anything out of the way.
Such are moderate drinkers.
And it is our opinion as .physi-
clan OF something like 20 years
experience, that the good old
fashioned sling is far better and
safer medicine, both physically
and morally, than nine hundred
and minety-nine of the patent
medicines on which our rising
generation is fed today. This
class is the moderate, temperate,
self-controIled people. They do
not furnish the material for
drinkers. You couldn't make
them drinkers if the streets flow
ed with liquor. We need no IL
quOr laws to save them.
3rd. Habitual drinkers. Such
a person has inherited or formed
a habit for strobg drinks or 9TH
er stimulating drugs. He is an
inebriate. He suffers from a dis
ease of the brain. The under
lying trouble with that person,
no matter from what station in
society he may come, is a lack OF
mental force to control himself.
He yields to temptation, often
against his better Judgment.
This is the class that go to make
drunkards. That class we want
to protect from temptations, sa-
looms, and cure of the disease
If we can.
This is our view. We shall
neither argue, nor quarrel with
Prof. .Hilliboe. We have not at
tempted to explain ourselves for
the benefit of the Prof., hut for
the public. To write language
that the Prof. cannot some way
n,isconstrue is beyond our power.
If the Prof. desires to empty
some of his exubennt gail at us
simply because we do not happen
to see things just as he does, we
see no way to prevent it. The
Prof. cannot pick Il quarrel with

VILLAGE ELECTION.

To-day is election day, and ol
course the main issue will be ''ll-
cense'' or "no license" The
dry" element is very confident
OF success, and it appears that
there will be two tickets in the
field. There are some who seem
to think that the prohibitionists
were over-cOnfidentin putting up
a complete ticket OF their own,
thinking a wiser plan would have
been to nominate but one ticket
and merely make the fight on the
liquor issue. But to-day will tell
the tale, and probably it would
be: wiser to wait until the votes
are counted before indulging in
any comments ON the situation.
The tickets as near as we have
been able to learn at this writing
will read something like this:

Minneapolis Times, March -: The
state M Minnesota has four state
normal schools in fact, and five,
counting the school at the university,
and it looks as If three more schools
a total OF eight normal schools to
he supported by the state.
The senate yesterday surprised It,
q state normal school at Duluth,
but it is understood that this was
simply carrying out an agreement.
If what some senators say be true,
Duluth, Litchfield and Pipestone
have formed a combination, and all
three are to be given normal schools
Some time ago the senate emphati-
cally refused to grant a normal
school to Duluth, and 1ntimated
that no one else need apply either.
however, just before the. junket to
Duluth, and now there is found u re-
markable change of sentiment in the
senate, for the house bill went
through comparatively easy, and all
that it. needs to become a law is the
signature of Gov. Clough. For these
reasons and what ia heard on the
senate floor, the Times is justified in
believing that a combination or
scheme has been worked up by which
all other applicants are to get
schools, and it is believed that the
necessary votes are already pledged.
The Duluth bill passed over.
whelmingly 30 to IL against.
Notwithstanding the opinion OF
Senator Thorpe that the Duluth
bill was killed, the Tribune as.
serted a couple of weeks ago that
the Normal at Duluth was part
of the capitol deal. This has
been, demonstrated to be true
Nor have we the slightest doubt
that Litchfield will get a state
normal school in the same deal
These hustling Litchfield fellows
weren't working for nothing

Willmar got left. He would
rather see the city die than have
it profit by anything a Populis1
suggested. Well, we don't blame
him. He is made up that way.
