GIVE THANKS.

Tomorrow is the day set apart by
President Cleveland, and acquies-
cenced in by Gov. Clough, as Thank
giving day. 1t is time-honored GUS
tom, and as we all have something to
be thankful for, strict and unani-
nous observance of the day should
be kept. 1t is also wholly American,
being instituted by our forefathers at
The end of harvest time and strictly
observed by them by congregating
together at the village church to lis
ten to an appropriate sermon, after
which the rest of the day would be
spent in feasting on the fruits of the
harvest. The times for the last four
years have been hard, and some PEG
pies lots have been doubly hard, yet
they can be thankful that things have
not been worse. The people as
whole should be thankful that we are
through the greatest financial depres-
sion that has been the lot of any man
10 witness, Let US all be thankful.

The slate makers are still harping
away on McKinley's cabinet, in spite
of the fact that the slate gets broke
into ''smithereens" about as fast as
they are made, still they will bob up
the next week with another. The
Minnesota people appear to feel salts
fed that they will be represented in
the new cabinet, but the pulling
question is, by who? Some say Mer-
riam, while others stoutly declare
its Davis or Nelson. But what is the
difference which one it will be? All
three are good men and able, and
either would be credit to the state.
Minnesota would be safe in their
hands and ably represented. So let
it go at that. AS to the other cabinet
positions Mckinley will very likely
make them up to suit Mckinley.

How many candidates have live'

How many candidates have lived
up to the new election law. which
makes it obligatory for all candidates
for nomination or Office, within thirty
days after election, to file sworn
statement with the officer empowered
to issue the certificate of election, and
with the county auditor, of all sums
of money contributed, disbursed ex-
pended or promised by him, and to
the best of his knowledge and belief
by any other person or persons in his
behalf, to secure his election? The
purpose of this act is to prevent cor
rupt practice in election and stop all
fraudulent use of money at the polls,
which has been so common under the
old ballot system. The act is a good
one and should be lived up to.

The sensational trial of Rev. James
c. Hull for the attempt to murder his
wife by slow poisoning, came to rather
an abrupt and sudden ending last
Thursday when the prisoner broke
down and confessed his guilt, and re-
ceived sentence of six years in the
penitentiary at Saltwater. The evil
dence was so convincing that his at
torney advised him to plead guilty
and place himself at the mercy of the
court. The penalty for such a crime
IS from five to ten years, and by Civ
ing him almost the minimum term it
seems that he was really shown more
elemency than he rightly deserved,
yet the judge in sentencing him
claimed that he would be lenient with
him because he considered him of un-
sound mind. The depravity of the
crime is the more astounding on &C
count of the principal actor being a
minister, an educated man, one whose
associations and walks Of life would
lend to purify and elevate instead to
degrade. A hardened criminal, born
and bred in the slums of some great
city, reared in ignorance and nodded
10 the ways of his surroundings, would
seem to be some excuse for leniency
Oh the part of the courts, but when
an educated man. born and reared
in the religious ways of the world,
with the best of companionship,
preaching the way to righteousness to
nAhers and at the same time plotting
night and day the most heinous and
dastardly crime, there seems no pun
ishment too severe, and we think that
if there had not been doubt in the
judges mind as to Mr.: HulFs sanity
he would haye given him the limit
Of the law-ten years.

of Mr.. Bryan by the democrats, and says
that the peoples party, at it's second ma

continues:

to cast their votes for either party is to

PERUVIAN MARRIAGES.
Methodist Ministers in Chicago Get
Unsatisfactory Replies
from Rome.

Chicago, Ill, April 27.-At the Chi
cagO Methodist ministers meeting today
Rev. John Lee chairman Of the com
mittee on religious liberty for Protest
ants in South America, read report.
The committee tells of the trouble it
had in laying the matter before Rome.
The troubl" was that only Catholic mar
rIages are recognized in Peru and there
fore ProtcstautS are placed in a very I'M
pleasant position. 1t was thought that
If the matter was properly brought he
fore tn" Pope he could remedy the mat
ter. rs far back as the beginning of
1884. letter was sent 20 Cardinal Glib
bous. 1t received no response and let
tcrs were sent to Mgr. Satoili with no
better result. The scheme of registered
letters was then rc>urtCd to, but even
this brought forth no reply. Finally
communications, duly registered, were
sent direct to Rome. To none of these
did IL" Pope reply.
When Cardinal Gibbons was about to
sail for Rome in 1879 he was again
asked to Intervene for the Per Iviau
irotcStants. In June he replied that +"
lHd roSerr"d this matter to the cardinal
secretary of state. II took three regis
tered letters to evoke q response 1t
was not until March of this year that
anything further WAS heard. Then,
through Cardinal Gibbons secretary,
Cardinal RampOlla'S letter was received,
the pith of which is as follows: Il am
in 4 position to state that the protrs-
tantS in Peru, far from being restricted
in tn" free exercise of their WORSHIP are
rather accorded Il larger degree If toll
Grafton than is Compatible with q strict
construction Of the political constitution
Of these countries. This is evidenced 10y
the fact that i'm Peru. especially in the
cities Of Lima and Callan there ar" soy
cral Anglican and Methodist IN Jp"ls.
where weekly conferences are held.
AS to the solemniZatiou of marriages,
the delegate informs IN" that whilst the
constitution of Peru recognizes no other
form taS validl than that prescribed by
the council of Trent ProtcstantS do as
a matter of fact wed with religious Ger
emory in presence of their ministers and
ciyil!y before the conSulS ana ambaSSa-
duES of rh"ir respective countries.
In reviewing this reply the Methodist
committee says:
1T is indeed q sad spectacle in this
enlightened age that an institution claim
in@ to- h" moral and religious power
in the world should refuse 10 lift finger
toward sweeping away what Roman
Catholic editor in this city terms 'odiouS
religious rcStrirtonS.' and 10 which an
aged English statesman applies the Ian
