THINGS BACON SAID.
How They May BE Applied to Present
Conditions.

How They May BE Applied to Present
Conditions.
Bacon is not Shakespeare, but he is;
often as surprisingly modern; sentence
after sentence seems written with an
eye to current events, says the COrnhill
Magazine. Take this, for instance: ITO
be master of the sea is an abridgement
of monarchy ii. e., monarchy in
miniature). Surely at this day with us
of Europe the vantage Of strength at
sea (Which is one of the principal dow
ries of the kingdom of Great Britain).
is great both because most of the king
doms of Europe are not merely inland
but girt with the sea most part of their
compass and because the wealth of both
Indies seems in great part but an ac-
-cessory to command Of the seas And
here is our American policy. Among
unjustifiable wars Bacon ranks those
made by foreigners under the pretense
of Justice or protection to deliver the
subjects of others from tyranny and
oppression And here is a Judgment
on the Transyaal government; "All
states that are liberal OF naturalization
toward strangers are fit for empire.
Here, too, is one side of the colonial
secretary: Wonderful is the case of
boldness in civil business: What first?
Boldness. What second and third?
Boldness 1t doth fascinate and bind
hand and foot; therefore we see it hath
done wonders in popular states, and
more ever upon the first entrance OF
bold persons into action This is, of
course. the passage from which Danton
stole his III nous faut de l'audace,
encore de faudace, toujours de fau-
dace" Here is a good criticism on the
drink commission: In choice Of com
mittees for ripening business for the
council it is better to choose Indifferent
persons than to make an indifferency
by putting in those that are strong
on both sides"

The dcmo-populistic party is

the colored vote on the pretense

us fair. Let us ask the colored
voters to stay with the republican
party this year. The time has not
yet come for us to change. True
we may not get our Justice by the
republican party; yet all we now
enjoy or ever received has been
through the G. O. Z. The new

The pops" held a meeting last
Saturday night at the court house.
OF course the s'Black Cyclone
Orator" (Johnson) was present
and made a speech. He claimed
that the war liberated 100000
slaves, and that the present cam
paign was for the liberation Of
70, ZOO. 900 slaves, who are in a
worse and more deplorable condi.
ton than the blacks had been.
Any man with ordinary reasoning
powers and capable OF acquiring
information would not attempt
any such comparison. Johnson
knows, if he knows anything, that
such talk is nonsensical and has
no foundation in fact or reason.
johnson has proven beyond a
doubt, since his very brief resi-
dence in this community, that he
is a demagogue. He has been a
republican, democrat, and a
populist within three months. He
passed the hat at the close Of his
harangue, and not a cent did he
get. Rather disappointing but
deservedly SO.

B0ISTER0US MARCH.
1T is INDEED A ROUGH HARBINGER
OF SPRING.
FOR ONE THING 1T is THE BEST
MONTH IN THE YEAR.
Everybody Knows, or Should Know,
What This One Thing Is.

1t is hard to agree with the calendar
and hail March as the first month of
spring, for it is so bleak and boisterous
and brings In its train so many storms,
that only poets connect the idea of
gentle spring" with such a month.
But March is the best time Of year to
prepare our systems for the spring.
The indoor life of the winter tells up
on us severely. There is loss of appe-
tite, confusion and giddiness in the
head, sleepless nights or else horrid
dreams, with waking suddenly In af-
fright. There are noises in the head
and ears like tea-kettla singing or
beats of muff1ed drum, occasional
deafness, headaches, black and light
spots before the eyes, and sometimes
partial loss of memory. The person Is
weak, tired and languid, is pale and
sallow, has poor circulation in feet and
limbs, the spirits are depressed, gloomy
All this happens because of poor
blood and weakness; the brain and
nerves are only supplied with poor
blood, instead of good, rich red blood.

1t is necessary to restore the healthy
action of the system by the use Of a
good nerve-strengthening and blood
purifying medicine.

ming down for some time. 1 had a liver

was not able to do any kind of work
and had no strength nor energy.
After using DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy 1 had no tired
feeling, my nerves We're strong, and l
gained flesh, and now feel like myself
again."
You see what this remedy did for
her; it can do the same for you if you
will but try it. 1t is an inVigorating
tcnic for the entire system. Why not
take it now in the spring when you
feel the need of it? This. grand medi-
cine is the discovery of one of the most
successful physicians, Dr. Greene, of
50 West 14th ST., New York City, who
can always be consulted, personally

MRS. Nicholas gave resume of last
years meeting and work She had dis
trlbuteo among the representatives
present leaflets to be placed in the
hands OF their ministers regarding the
work, and said that she had asked
Archbishop Ireland as to the fitness of
having sermons in regard to Sabbath
observance preached on Easter Sunday
and he had said he did not consider
there could be a more fitting subject
chosen for Easter than that of the
Lords day. However, this matter is
optional with the ministers, and they
may select either April 8 or II for the
delivering of the requested sermons.
Ministers present gave their hear

petitions at Washington of citizens of
Minnesota against Sunday observance
legislation.
1t was decided to appoint a commit
tee to write to Senator Nelson, asking

CAss-CRow WING DISPUTE.
Supreme Court Asked to Pass Upon
the Question.

The Cass-CroW Wing county bound
ary dispute is in the supreme court.
M. l.. Hardy yesterday filed with the
clerk of that tribunal a petition for a
writ of certiorari, requiring the state
commission to produce to the court all
the papers in their possession in the
case.
The petitioner processes to represent
104 residents of the land in dispute,
and of these it is claimed that twenty
five are on the petition, which is a
part of the argument of the advocates
of the Grow Wing county annexation.
Their names, according to the petition
filed yesterday, are also attached to a
protest against annexation, in which
they especially ask that their names be
stricken from the former petition for
the annexation. With this reduction,
the petitioner claims there was no au-
thority under the law for the gov
ernor, secretary of state and auditor
to take the action they did in detach-
ing territory from Cass county and an
neXing it to Crow Wing.
1t is further stated as a reason for
bringing the matter before the supreme
court that the judge of the judicial
district before whom the case would
otherwise come, Judge George w. Hol-
land at Brainerd is an avowed ad-
vocate OF the annexation, an active cir
culator of the petitions for it, and
therefore not a fit judge before whom
to argue the case
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-05

thereof as Judge. AS these orders are not
revisable by the supreme court, being discre-
tionary, there is no way after the orders have
been made and the term of the court lapses,
for any review TO be had whatever by any
appellate tribunal or coordinate judge, 10 set
aside the action of a court OF the United
States.
The action of the Western court,
while not entirely unexpected by the
st. Paul people interested in Northern
Pacific matters, caused considerable
stir when announced owing to its un-
usual character. Both Receiver Nc
Henry and Counsel Bum were seen,
but beyond expressing mild surprises
at the result of the courts deliberation,
had little comment to make. AS the
matter now stands, the case is just
where 1t was last week. when all the
courts pronounced ancillary to the Mil
waukee court, had with the exception
of the Seattle court, followed the order
of the supreme justices.
Attorneys here do not hesitate to
pronounce the refusal of Judges Gilbert
and Hanford a bit of seeming imperti-
nence to the supreme justices, which
amounts to judicial suicide. 1t is hint
ed that the Western court is sparring
for wind, but it is difficult to see what
the court or its appointed receiver has
to gain by delay which will terminate
with the visit of one of the supreme
justices to Seattle, where the order
made some weeks ago will be made at
first hands.
The Seattle court is in Justice Fields
circuit, but owing to his extreme age,
it is probable that, by a temporary
change of assignment of circuits, an
other justice will visit the West.
Able lawyers express the opinion that
Judge Gilbert wrongly construes the
supreme Justices order when he says
it does not provide for the confirmation
of Judge Jenkins appointees as re-
ceivers.
The Western judges have come in for
some hearty scoring by people here on
account of several moves made during
the progress of the Northern Pacific
case but the action yesterday is con-
ceded to be by all means the most in
eXcusable because of it's futility.
Not only judicially, but politically, are
they thought to have made a serious
mistake which calls for the presence Of
a supreme justice on the Western
bench to make one of his own orders.
