One word regarding church mem.
bers' position on this subject. As
church members we should view this
matter carefully and conscientiously
from all standpoints. Some object to
games in the church parlors, others
object to refreshments, or ''fairs' in
the churches, while still others object
to readings, lectures, or the concert.
How will we suit all? We heard a
sermon about q year ago, which gives
q new cue ON this line. The idea sug.
gested: attractive church parlors
expressly for young men. The tables
to he filled with the choicest and latest
reading matter. Well filled book
cases by our best authors should be
placed there. Games should be al
lowed there unders Christian auspices.
The church members should take
turns presiding over these parlors. ;"
If there were more places to entice
young men from evil resorts by good
influences, the saloons, ''blind-pigs," :"
billiard halls aud other questionable
"dens" would he less frequented by
the "coming man.
Readers. while this idea is not
original, yet we are more inclined
every day to look at the evil results

is the sentiment Of the young as we'll

The supreme court of the
United States has rendered de-
cision in the contempt cases
which grew out of the investiga-
ton in the fifty-third congress
where the senate of the United
States were inquiring into the
sugar trust and the speculations
connected Herewith by senator's
of the United States. Mr.. Chap
man, the broker, through whom
such speculations were supposed
to haye been transacted refused
to answer, and in accordance
with law was turned over to the
supreme court of the District of
Columbia for trial He was duly
indicted, tried, convicted and
sentenced, when his case by writ
of habeas corpus, was brought
before the supreme court of the
United States. This latter court
has affirmed the decision of the
district court, sustaining the law
giving the senate right to in

OF Interest to Dairymen.

AtbtlOuSu Gllo tuululStCSkUlOu IL
hardly six weeks old, President Nc.
Kinley's wisdom in selecting Secretary
Wilson to head the department of
agriculture has been shown more tnan
once. Secretary Wilson's experience
as a practical, progressive farmer has
already shown itself in some very not
able changes in the policy of the de-
partment, all of which are along lines
that ought to prove of immense benefit
to the farming interests.
The most recent move of the new
secretary, which may be considered
typical of his views as to the uses of
the de. 'artmeut, is the Inauguration OF
q systematic attempt to secure for
American butter a foothold in the
English markets. Enormous quanti-
ties of butter are consumed by the
English people, but a large proportion
of it comes from the Netherlands.
There is but little sale for American
butter, apparently because American
farmers have not been in the habit of
exporting their best grades. packing
the product in the best .manner for
transportation or endeavoring to suit
the tastes of the English consumers,
as to salt, color or packing. In order
to open this market to American pro-
ducers, the dairy division is now en-
gagged in purchasing samples OF butter
made in the leading dairy sections
and willspack them in various forms.
ascertain all about facilities for ship
ment and place the product on the
English markets under most favorable
conditions, obtaining criticism from
consumers for the purpose Of learning
wherein the product is weak. On the
basis of this and other experiments,
bulletins will be compiled and distrib-
uted, thus enabling such farmers as
wish to take advantage of the English
markets and cater intelligeatly to the
trade in that country.
How valuable this experiment will
prove will, OF course, in the end de-
pend upon the enterprise of American
farmers in taking advantage of the in
formation acquired. The failure to
adapt their wares to the wants and
tastes of foreign countries has hither-
to been one of the main reasons why
American manufacturs could not COM
pete with English, French and German
rivals in many foreign countries.
The manufacturers are, however, mals-
ing determined effort to overcome
this obstacle and the dairymen of the
country should profit by their expert
ence and avoid their mistakes
Minnesota followed by North Dalzo-
ta, is rapidly forging to the front as
one of the leading dairy states and to
seize upon the opportunity offered by
the agricultural department would
prove of incalculable value to the
whole state. Could Minnesota and
North Dakota butter, rs such. estab-
lish for itself q place in the list of ex-
ports, it would provide d great stimu
lus to successive improvements in
quality and methods and would add
immensely to the wealth Of dairy in

WORK FOR STRIKERS.

Hamburg, Feb. 13.-Negotiations for

going on between Herren Frohme Lee
gion Won Elm and Molkenbuhr, lead
ers of the Hamburg Social Democrats
and their representatives in the German
reichstag, and Senator Oshwald, presi-

that the continued rioting and blood
shedding on the part Of the disappoint-
ed strikers will react against strikers
and they are now anxious TO prevent
further excesses by securing work for
the embittered men. 1t is probable that
they will be successful, since the gov

nize the necessity Of employing the men
in order to prevent further trouble. All
Of the non-union 'longshoremen, except
about 300, have now quit the city and
the prospects are that within a few
