NO DANGER OF CIVIL WAR.
Why CnSle Sans Big Family VIII Hence
foV,aard Live In Peace.


There is no longer any danger of a
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was war between the
south and the rest of the nation because
their differences W ere removable in no
other way. There was no prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. 1t was to be apprehended,
Oh the contrary, that the very processes
Of growth would inevitably lead to the
extension Of slavery and the perpetual
ton of radical social and economic con-
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region.
A heroic remedy was the only remedy.
Slavery being removed, the south is
now joined with the west-joined with
it in stage of development, as region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
industries, without multifarious trade,
without those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into
single community. But these are lines
of difference which will be effaced by
mere growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make no boundaries for
armies to cross.

rated once from her own population

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase of Life Which the Realist May
Not Touch.


In defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison, the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
81 have been asked, in print, if ]
think that there is no phase of life
which the artist may not touch. Most
certainly think this; more, l know it.
1t is the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks well, and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
If the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
eyes, then che fault is that of the COM
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilege, but his duty. 1t was my fate to
encounter place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance of living decent lives,
where they were born foredamned to a
criminal or semicriminal career. 1t
was my experience to learn the ways of
this place, to know its Inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
''For the existence of this place and
for the evils it engendered the COM
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community was and is
responsible in his degree. If had been
a rich man, might have attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way; if had been statesman, /
might have tried another. Being neither
of these things, but simple writer Of
fiction, I endeavored to do my duty by
writing tale wherein l hoped to bring
the condition of this place within the
comprehension Of others. There are
those who say l should have turned
away my eyes and passed by on the
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of the priest and the Levite
in the parable.

A REPRESENTATIVE I anKee, OF al
least South Dakota gentleman pos
sed of shreWd va lkee notions, has
devised scheme for sending a con-
Signment of marriagable young
women to the Klondyke country next
season. He argues that lot of good,
cOmely, hardy damsels will be worth
their weight in gold to the miners.
Working up his party on this theory,
it is presumed that nothing short of
three hundred pound avoirdupois
girl need apply for aadmission. II
you don't think this fellow has fig
ured out his profits, be undeceived.
He is evidently posted on the value
of his precious goods, for ne says that
he has talked with the miners and
knows what they want. "Nice, is or
20-year-old girls, respectable and will
ling to work" he say will go like hot
cakes. Medium grades should. bring
from So, 900 to $4,000 head. That'il
cover the cost Of transportation aDd
leave handsome profit" The fellow
who has this speculation in mind goes
under the name of keenan,, and he is
said to be an old cattle man. La his
own language. as reported to the Min
neapolis Journal, he expects to run
some chances in getting the girls to
market, but his profits are figured
high after making liberal deductions
for shortage"
He says:
l expect it'll take something to get
'em out. can't rush 'em drought
I'll have to stop often to feed and
water. The best can do, I eXpec

Keenan, may be good judge OF
steers, he may have a keen concep-
tion of the innate temperament and
spasmOdic habit of mules, but it is
clearly evident that he knows mighty
little Of what difficulties will'confront
him with a heard OF three hundred
real, live, active, independent girls
from Is to 20 years. Rather than un-
dertake the job he has outlined for
next spring, he can find many ways
for much, less tortious death. We
would advise him to take Immediate
passage for the Youkon, select some
secluded spot (there are plenty of
them) and lie down in peace. He can
freeze stiff in 48 minutes by following
this advice, but the death that will
follow. his other wild scheme will be

NEW WHEAT.
1t Is rlore or Less Damp and of
Poor Quality. IL

Some new wheat is being brought
in, but it is rather damp and of poor
quality. Two or three loads were re-
ceived at the big mill this morning
This was somewhat damp, having
been threshed direct from the shock,
1t was also of poor quality, grading
No. 3, and brought p cents per
bushel. 1t was stated at the mill
that such would have brought about
35 cents a year ago. The grade of
wheat in this section, and in fact all
through the southern part of this
state, as was shown in the crop report
published yesterday, is very disap-
pointing, and the yield is consider
ably less than was expected several
weeks ago. This is the result of the
hot wet weather of some three weeks
ago, which seems to have blighted
the tops of the heads. 1t is said that
there will be more or less spoiled
wheat unless much care is taken by
the farmers. The weather this sea-
son has not been favorable to shock
threshing, most of the bundles being
more or less damp. Most OF the
wheat that is damp will bring two or
three cents more per bushel on being
dried out But poor as the quality Of
most of the wheat is, the farmer will
realize twice as much if not more per
bushel for it than last year, and the
increased acreage will make good the
shtinkage in yield per acre.

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

A small amount Of the right kind Of
food is better than too much inferior
stuff.
The best means of obtaining a profit
with any class of stock is to keep the
best and keep 1t well,
If the farmer cannot afford to breed
and raise Pure-bred stock he can at
least breed and raise good grades.
In order to push growth it is quite
an item to teach the lambs to eat as
early as possible and then feed them
well.
The best feeding at ali times is that
which gives to each animal just what
its system can best assimuate andmake
use of.
Clean up the hog pens. the horse and
cattle stables, and disinfect thoroughly
with carbolic acid before the spring
opens.
The cheapest feed is not that which
costs the least, but rather that which
in proportion 10 its cost gives the best
results.
Early maturity is one of the best
ways of lessening the cost Of raising
stock. and good feeding is an essential
to early maturity.-Farmers' Union.
