weeks after election, if what many
people pretend to believe is true, that
newspapers get lots OF money out Of
politics. The facts are that country
newspapers get little or nothing out
OF politics, but on the other hand are
money out every time, at least that
has been our fix for sixteen years
Albert Lea Standard: The talk
about blind pigs is heard on every
ha nd. Everybody seems to know that
they exist and eight or ten places are
named where it is said drinks Of one
kind or another are almost openly
furnished the thirsty. II half is true
that is talked, no-license is farce and
those who are responsible mainly for
the adoption of the system and who
seem to be wholly Indifferent to its
enforcement are entitled to little
credit, at least, for the present state
OF affairs.
Hokah Chief: The regular biennial
persistent agitation for reapportion-
ment of the State has commenced and
II Southern Minnesota does not desire
to be robbed of what little representa-
tirn it now has in the State councils,
all pressure possible must be brought
to bear upon the representative from
this section Of the State to stand to-
gether for the rights of their constit-
uents. Let a reapportionment be
made, if really necessary, but not at
the expense of Southern Minnesota
for the benefit of Hennepin and
Ramsey counties.

JUDGE COLLINS, of the Minnesota
Supreme Court, has sustained the
order OF Judge Egan in the manda-
mus proceedings in the case of the
State ex REL, The Railroad and Ware
house Commission, respondents,
against the Adams Express Company,
appellant. This is very important
decision, as bringing the express COM
panies within the meaning of common
carriers and making them subject to
the requirements of the provisions of
the act of the legislature approved
April, 1895, entitled an act requiring
express companies to file with the
railroad and warehouse commission
copies of their schedules of classitlca-
tious Of rates, fares and charges. We
may get down to reasonable express
rates one of these days.

IT is stated that the makers of
cigarettes are subject to cramps that
frequently end in complete paralysis.
If the making of these pestiferous
little nuisances causes so much suffer

known that the habit impairs the
mental faculties, but the fact that
they are dangerous to life as well may
lead few of the slaves of the habit

We intend to watch carefully the
new state capitol business in the
coming legislature and any legislator
from these parts who goes in to help
on the schemes which St. Paul is try
ing to put up will deserve and receive
abundant condemnation. Under the
original act a tax levy Of two-tenths
of mill was laid upon the as
sessed valuation Of the state
each year. which is bringing
in about $4,000 annually for the
new capitol. This is to continue
uniformly for period not exceeding
ten years and two levies have already
been made. The foundations of the
new building have been completed
ahead of time and now the st. Paul
gang coolly asks the coming legislature
to consolidate the levies OF three OF
four years in one tax next year so that
the costly building will be finished
years sooner than originally planned
This simply means a heavy increase
of taxation next year, The man who
helps on such a scheme simply misrep
resents his constituents and will bt

900, 900 barrels for the people of the
United States, over three barrels for

this immense amount of fruit is COM

$4,000, 900 barrels; Michigan, 80, ,000, ,00O;
New England, 40.0o0,00o, and the rest
from the central western states and

the crop will be turned into cider or
allowed to rot. We expect to get

FUNERAL REFORMS.

T. The Duluth Ministerial Association
appeals to the public for much-need-
ed reform in the funeral service and
other practices that are in vogue in
laying away the dead. It's appeal Is
based upon considerations OF health
and propriety. The ministers want
more simplicity In the service. The
funeral discourse is gradually becom-
ing thing of the past, and properly
50, for 1t Is subject to abuses. The
ministers favor private burial after
the public service at the house or
church. This avoids the idle gaze Of
the multitude and the big expense Of
procession. They also want no fun
erals on Sunday except where 1t is an
absolute necessity. They deprecate
the extravagant expenditure for flow
ers, casket and an excessive mum ber
Of carriages. These outlays often fol-
low the heavy expense Of protracted
sickness, and have to be met by those
who cannot we'll afford them. The
WELT to-do should set an example in
this regard. They are also against
the uncovering Of heads during pro-
cession in cold weather, which invites
other funerals. Likewise. they are
against outdoor services in cold
weather, believing that all that need
be said can be said indoors There is
a deal of good sense in the above sug-
,roctiorc

IT will be long time, we believe,
before the people again try policy OF
free trade and low prices. The past
three or four years have abundantly
sutticed. Business stagnation, enforc-

severe teachers, but the lessons which
they teach are likely to be long re-
mem bered and needed.
