John Wesley may not have been fit to

thousands of men and women follow in
the footsteps of Wesley and the band OF

There is a parallel between the hostil-

Methodists and the spirit to-day among
those who worship the golden calf toward
the big-hearted altruists like President
Andrews. They do not like to have be-

teaching rebukes their selfishness. The
fox-hunting parsons and lax church Of

The ecclesiastics and Journalists of Wes-
ley's day could not abide his exposure of
their moral death any more than the
worshippers of Mammon to-day can abide
the exposure President Andrews makes
of their robbery of the people under the
forms Of law. They will not tolerate a
man who believes it is dishonest to de-
mand the payment Of two dollars for one
borrowed, and who breaches doctrines so
dangerous to their craft" There are
no doubt honest and good men who be-
lieye in the gold standard, but they are
not found among the bigots who perse-

DULUTH AND WINNIPEG.

Building of the New Road VIII Benefit
Northern Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, July 2S.-J. d. Cameron,
attorney general of the province of Man.
itoba, has been visiting the Twin Cities,
supposedly in the interests Of the Du-
luth and Winnipeg railroad, which the
Manitoba government is backing. In
asmuch as a large portion of that road
will be built in Minnesota, it will be
necessary to incorporate a company un-
der the laws of this state. Mr.. Cam
~ expresses the belief that the
road will be built and that it
will be not only a paying invest
ment, but Of great value to the
Canadian Northwest. 1t will tap the
wheat fields of Manitoba and pass
through the timber belt and iron re-
gions of Northern Minnesota. opening
up a new territory and having a ten
dency to greatly reduce freight rates.
Speaking about railroad building, Mr..
Cameron says that it is quite possible
that an extension of the Duluth, Port
Arthur and Western will be built into
the Rainy lake gold fields this summer
and fall.
