Kind Words.

Last weeks issue of the Morgan
town Post contained the following
kind notice of the life and work of
Rev. Dr. Benz. Ison, of Oakland, and
which is reproduced in these columns:
Rev. BENZ. Ison, like John among
the disciples, is held in atfectionate,
lasting remembrance by all our people
for his loving, gentle spirit. His
pastoral visitatiOns and tender minis
trations knew no sect, no condition,
no race. Eyes frightened, smiles
returned, life itself fingered as he
stood by the bedside of the sick and
dying. He among all our preachers
seemed to have engraved on his mem
ory with unerring accuracy the exact
words of the Bible, and his most edi-
flying and comforting sermons were
almost wholly made up from Scripture
quotations correlated to the text OF
his discourse strung together like
necklaces of pearls--each consecutive
ly more brilliant than its adjacent
gem.

ever, are of opinion that the exercise
of the power OF the court in the pre-

providing for new trial unless a

locks is immense and exceeds that Of
any other canal in the world including
Suck, The walls Of the canal and locks
are Of massive masonry. We did not
| get figures as TO the size, but while we
waited" we saw a huge whaleback and
her two tenders each nearly as large and
one Of the largest passenger and freight
steamers Of the lakes, all comfortably
fioated into the largest lock with room to
spare for yet another. The lock allows
the passage of vessels drawing 81 feet Of
water, and the tendency in the lake trade
is to larger and larger vessels with steam
power, while the smaller sailing vessels
are fast going into desuetude. The
train stopped an hour at this point for
observation and we western people look
ed at these mighty gates between the
lakes with interest not only because of
their own magnifcence, but because of
our personal interest in them as outlets
for our crops. When the day comes
which is fast approaching, that half doz-
en- trunk lines run straight from the Red
River Valley to Duluth these gates at
the $500" will mean still more to us, for
through them will we get our wheat to
the markets of the werld without paying
tribute to the middle-men Of st. Paul and
Minneapolis.

Free silver and free trade having lost
their charm with the people ofthe United
States, the Democratic leaders who re.
cognize that they will soon be out Of a job
unless they find some new rallying cry,
are now looking for other issues. This is
indicated by recent developments which
show that the men who have kept them
selves in the public eye and public office
through the operations Of the Democratic
party in the past few years are now quietly
discussing the single tax, the initiative and
referendum and features of this sort in the
hope that they may be able to present new
and attractive schemes with which to
catch the unthinking voter in the next ma
tional election.

A half century of commerce is a good
deal better index to the capacity Of a
country than short period of two OF
three years. The free-traders who are
trotting out figures to show that our sales
of American manufactures abroad in
creased under the Wilson law would do
we'll to look over the history of the past
half century before they go very far into
these statements. If they do SO they will
find that in the quarter of century Of
low tariff the balance of trade was almost
constantly against the United States,
while in the quarter of century of pro-
tective tariff the balance. of trade was
largely in our favor. In the twenty-five
years since 1879 there have been but five
years in which our exports did not ex-
ceed our imports, while in the twenty
five years proceeding that there were but
two years in which the imports were not
in excess of the exports. The excess Of
exports over imports in the last quarter
ofa century was about $500, 600, 900,
while the excess of imports over exports
IN the preceding quarter of a century Of
low tariff was about 81, 400, 100000.

The writer took in the G. A. r. en-
campment at Buffalo last week. We
made the trip in company with about thir-
ty other North Dakotans with some la
dies Of the. w. R. c., on special train of
the $500 Line" Mr.. Thorn, assistant
manager ofthe road, accompanied the
party and personally did all in his power
to make the trip pleasant one. But
the road Itself is roundabout way Of
getting anywhere. and passes through
more miles of wilderness than any other
road we have ever travelled. From st.
Paul to Toronto is about a thousand
miles. A few hours distance from either
of these terminals and the country is an
unchanging monotony of timber, stones,
sand, swamps and hills. In few places
1.-THE wilderness rises to the plain of the
picturesque. and after leaving the $500"
an occasional glimpse of Lake Huron
makes little variety. Most of the little
towns along the way are of the saw-mill
variety and at few points there are
mines. Long miles are passed with
scarcely sign Of human habitation, but
here and there, some misguided people
. have tackled the timber, and have made
small clearings, where among stumps
and stones and yellow loan or sand
stand little patches of grain and potatoes,
sometimes good but usually rather poor
in quality, but always of so small an ex-
tent as to make western farmer smile.
A farm about the size Of two city blocks
seemed about an average, and these
would be divided into "fields" of wheat,
oats, peas and potatoes, each about the
size of city lot. For men to spend a
lifetime cutting and burning timber, pull
ling stumps and piling stones, to clear a
few acres of land from which half dozen
crops will entirely exhaust all fertility, is
so absurd when SO many broad, rich
acres of the western prairie states lie
open, that comment is necessary.
But we thought it would be good OBJ
ject lesson to some of our prairie farmers
if they could take the trip over the ''Soo''
and c. P. R. road and observe the con-
trast in the natural conditions. We are
sure the question would arise to every
such man, "How do these people liver
From st. Paul to Toronto there is only
one object of more than passing interest
to the traveller. The rapids and govern
ment locks at Sault Ste. Marie are each
in their way, sights to be seen and re-
membered. The rapids are about mile
in length and about the same distance
across. The fall in this distance seems to
be about twenty feet and the water goes
rushing over stones and is thrown into
waves and spray and is a beautiful sight.
Notwithstanding the roughness and
rapidity of the waters the Indians shoot
the rapids in their canoes with perfect
safety. It is great place for fishing and
white fish are abundant.
The great government locks are also
well worthy of examination. There are
now two such locks on the American
side and one on the Canadian side. The
