are embodied the greatest elements
OF success to be found in any church,
and these elements will enable il to

RAILWAY CONTROL.

The Wisconsin Farmer of March 10
has lengthy article on the subject
of Railway Control in Wisconsin, in
which it most emphatically endorses
the position taken on this subject
year ago by Hon. A. r. Hall of Dunn
", and calls attention to the fact
that as long as the free pass system is
i'm vogue no relief is to be expected
from present railway oppression. 1t
looks upon the pass as bride 10 the
legislator which, even on the most
honest individual, may exercise its
baneful influence. Mr.. Halls prOpo-
sitions were a practical adoption of
the same system as that in vogue in
Iowa, and which has proved itself a
great blessing to that state as is
abundantly shown by present rates
as compared with those in this state.
Wisconsin is tagging far behind the
surrounding states in this matter of
control of railway rates. All the
states surrounding US have given
their railway commission some power
to control rates while in this state the
commissioner is very little more than
a mere statistician. Mr.. Halls joint
resolution to, amend the constitution
so as to prevent railway companies
from offering and public officials from
receiving passes was, it will be re-
mem bered, tabled in the legislature
by vote of 81 ayes and % noes, but Mr..
Hall is an untiring worker and con-
cluded to go to the people. He had
blanks printed and distributed
throughout the state and brought the
matter to the attention of LAP town
meetings and the subject was con-
sidered at the meetings in over 500
towns. About 81 900 voters expressed
themselves in relation to the subject,
and of these all but about 800 voted
in favor of the proposed amendment
and legislation. Notwithstanding
this fact, the anti-pass amendment
and the proposed system of control
stood no chance in the last legisla-
ture. Many of the then members
will be candidates for denomination.
They will be profuse in promises. See
that none are renominated who are
not earnestly in favor of the views
| expressed by the Wisconsin Farmer.
There is no question but that paper
reflects truthfully the sentiment OF
the farmers of the state. 1t SAYS:
''On the pass question the only
question is, shall public officers, Sc
| lected for the performance of duties
| owing to the public, accept what are
practically brides from railways, whose
interests may be, and often are, adj
| verse to those of the public? On the
| question of railway regulation, the
i plain. broad question is, shall rates be
| regulated and abuses prevented, OF
| shall the roads make the whole bar
gain and favor individuals and locali-
| ties or discriminate against them at
/ will? And shall the body which is tc
exercise such regulatiye supervision
be elected by the people and be re-
| sponsible TO them? These are the
| questions to which the farmers OF
Wiscon sin should direct their atten'
ton, and their judgment on them
should guide them in their selection
of representatives in the next legisla'
ture.'

An employe who is a consistent
christian is valuable to his -mpiov1r
on account OF his principles. He is
conscientious; does not waste his en-
ployer's thee, nor neglect his inter
ests. He is faithful and reliable and
is required to be so by his religious
principles. As "a merchant and manu-
facturer, he is honorable and fair in
his dealings. His goods are equal 20
the sample and the public has con-
fidence in his integrity. Character
wins reputation and commands re-
spect. These things settled, ali legiti-
mate business methods are open to
the religious business man. He is not
debarred, or held back, from pushing
his business with energy and persist
ent industry. Diligence is enjoined
upon him. IF l were onl- a boot
black, said christian merchant, Il
should consider it my duty, for the
honor of my Lord, to be the best boot
black in the CITY," The christians
place in the world is ''the city on
hill;" his duty is to shine as light
on the work. There ought, therefore,
to be no just ground for reproach
against him, no matter what his call
ing in life may be. He is under bonds
to do his whole duty, because more is
expected of him than other men. Any
remisSness on his part will bring dis
grace on his Lord and the christian
cause, so that he has an additional
motive, which worldly men have not,
for diligence, energy, and activity. A
high conscientious conception of duty
keeps him ON the alert and sanctifies
the meanest accusation. He does his
work as to the Lord and takes care
that it is done to the very best of his
ability.
WORKERS AND sHIRKERS.
Workers increase the stock of the
worlds wealth; shirkers reduce it.
Workers reduce the universal burden
of life; shirkers increase it. Workers
glorify duty: strikers defy pleasure.
Workers become rulers; shirkers have
but an empty napkin, their talent
having been transferred to their more
faithful fellows.
Love and work, for God ard man,
Are brothers in redemption's plan.

A canvass among the druggists reveals
the fact thai Chamberlain's are the most
popular of proprietary medicines. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, especially, is
regarded as in the lead of all throat
trouble remedies. and as such, is freely
prescribed by physicians. As Group
medicine it is also unexcelled, and most
families with young children keep a bot
tie always handy for instant use. The

known Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
do the work after all other medicines had
failed.-The Kimbali Is. D. Graphic.

The closing Farmers Institute of
the season was held during the past
week at Watertown, Wis. The pro-
ceedings of the Institute will be pub
lished in book form in fifty or sixty
thousand copies, making handbook
of more than three hundred pages,

charge at next seasons Farmers in

addressed the Institute on subjects in
their respective lines of investigation.
At the republican caucus in the
town of Pleasant Springs, Dane
county, not far from Madison, resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted
censuring Gov. Upham and the
legislature for passing the bill reliev-
ing the ex-state treasurers from the
judgments against them. and de-
claring it to be the purpose of the
republicans of that town to vote for
no man who had aided in passing such
legislation. 1t is only al awakening
of the public conscience tnat can
relieve the republican party from the
odium of broken promises under
which it suffers in this state, and the
republicans of Pleasant Springs are
pursuing the right course. The men
guilty of the passage of the atrocious
legislation of 1895, and those who
apologize for them, have tasted blood
and will make desperate fight for
public endorsement-Or apparent en-
dorsement of their record. Whether
their purpose is to still further
legislate so as to refund the half
million dollars actually collected from
some of the ex-state treasurers, we
can not say. The democrats will
charge them with such intention in
case of Upham's reelection, and we
see no escape from their logic. 1t is
true that the state is strongly republi-
can on national issues and that the
national ticket will to a large extent
carry the state ticket with it. If
left to run upon his own record and
merits, we think, however, that
Upham would be woefully defeated.
Republican voters of Pierce county,
study the situation and when the
time arrives do not fail to attend the
caucuses and see that such action is
taken at the primaries as will truth
fully reflect your wishes in the con-
yentiOn
