1t must be discouraging to those
who have been insisting that the free
coinage of silver at a false ratio is the
only hope for business prosperity to
find that nature is cooperating with
those other elements which they in

Lady Cook, nothing can be more ab-
surd than the baptism of infants un-
der any circumstances. No statement,
no matter by whom it may be said to
have been uttered, can make that true,
which is radically false" She then
states that if an infant child, ire
sponsible to God and man, incapable
of thought or action, is not member
of Christ, then no vicarious promise or
priestly ablution can make him one.
"For if this were so, similar cere-
mony under devil worship could make
him a member of Satan," writes the
lady of Doughty House.
Next Lady Cook gives the detail of
the baptism in the Roman Catholic
church, ceremony which has been
followed by the Church of England,
but portion of which has recently
been abandoned, although that church
still regards the infant as the Child of
the Devil until made free by baptism.
She criticises the forms severely, and
states that if they are correct marriage
is dishonorable and procreation sin.
She closes with suggested form for
baptism, if infants are to be baptized,
which will probably be approved by
the more liberal believers in religion.

But enough of that for the present.
We hope the merchants of the smaller
towns in the State, like Redwood
Falls, Marshall, New Ulm, Waseca,
etc., will stop their petty strife long
enough to get together on this matter.
Because by that organization alone
which the Twin Cities are seeking and
which the Windy City has cornered
this business, can they expect to win
against these gigantic conspiracies
fostered by railroad companies. These
business men, those of each town,
must get together at once and declare
upon their solemn oaths never to buy
another dollars worth of goods from
the jobbers of St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis until they stop the nefarious prac-
tice of having their department stores,
etc., stealing the business from the
country merchants by reason of these
cheap excursions. This actionis need
ed at once. Quick action will alone
put stop to the theft, for if it obtains
grasp for once it will be manifestly
harder to unfasten its talons. THE
GAZETTE is ready for one to take in the
initiative and cease it's business rela.
tions with St. Paul and Minneapolis
wholesale houses, and buy in New
York, if necessary, where goods can be
purchased cheaper than they can in
the Twin Cities.
Let a committee be appointed in
each town to bring about this action
and we venture the prediction that af.
ter the joint committees have been al
work for month the public thefts oil
the cadaverous department stores Of
St. Paul and Minneapolis will STOP
their calls for excursions for the bene.
fit of people on whom they can unload
their old goods at a higher price than
they would have to pay for them here

The sugar trust is not wholly hap
py. The Dingley law deprived it of
the special advantages which it had
enjoyed under the Wilson law, and
now the farmers of the United States
are preparing to raise beets for the
sugar of the country and refine it in
the factories where the sugar is made.

Leaders of the gold Democrats are

INFANT DAMNATION.

Lady Cook, nee Tennessee Clafin,
now of Doughty House, Richmond,
London, England, is one of the new
est advents to the corps of incendiary
writer's on human errors and the way 8
of bringing about an Elysium among
the children of the Almighty. Aside
from publishing red book just full
of heated points or pleas for the young
and old maid, of criticisms on the new
man and the new woman, on matern-
ity, love. and probably fifty other sub
jects, Lady Cook issues circular in
two parts on Infant Baptism. The
writings seem to have been inspired by
her accepting an invitation to attend a
christening of little baby, the child
of near relatives. Prior to this she had
always supposed that baby was stain
less as the unspotted snow in the eyes
of it's maker, "but we were shocked to
find that the little hero of the occa-
sion was concentration of all the
vices, child of the devil and pos
sessed by devil, filed with all man
ner of moral disease and spiritual IN
cleanness," according to the teachings
of the baptismal ceremony. She con-
sidered the whole ceremony as SAVIOR
ing of staginess, and unreal in mean
ing, and really ceremonies of Pagan
ism.
