ccedfnEly Light.

The Portland Commercial Review. No
vember H.. says: All markets nave been
depressed, easier. with a downward ten
dency. Locally there has been but very
little business done during the week, and
trading has been exceedingly small. 1t is
reported that a good part of the crop in
the country is out of armer hands, and
held by interior warehousemen and specu-
latcrs. who seem to be firm holders. with
confidence in an improved market later on.
If reports are correct of prices heretofore
paid by these dealers. it will take con-
siderable of 4 rise to fetch them out even
on their purchases. AS for the shipping
class. they have large stocks on hand.
have no urgent wants to fill. and. conse-
quently, are only in the market when Of
ferings come within a reasonable price.
Reports from the country show that at all
points buyers have reduced limits, and are
more cautious in their operations. The
outward movement from herejis satisfac-
tory. while receipts from both sections con-
tinue very large. Eleven vessels nave ar
rived during the week: they have a
registered tonnage of 27.Oo tons. with a
carrying capacity of about 5000
short tons. Local quotations range
19c for Valley per bushei. Six vessels left
down during the week. carrying 364. 1894 CEN

Children Respond to Praise Where

The following extract from one of Miss
Elizabeth Harrison's talks to mothers on
child culture is we'll worth the considera-
ton of any mother whose children are Lack
Ing in promptitude:
"A friend of mine came to mo and said,
What shall I do with my Willie? He dali
lies so about everything that he has to do
II I send him up stairs after q thimble or
thread 1t may be half an hour or even an
hour before he returns. l have scolded
him and scoldede him. but It seems to do no
good,

house on an Grand for you: tell him that
you will count while he Is gone. When he
gets back him for, having re-
news. This VIM make it a meritorious
achievement IN your sons eyes
"The next week she came to me with her
face fairly radiant and said: Il have been
counting. and Willie has been trotting ever
that her mother wit would soon have TO
hunt up some new device.
Mothers, 20 cultivate the rational e,e-
ment in yourselves that you can see that
every fault in your child Is simply the lack
of some virtue. In the inner chamber OF
your minds. study your children. confess
their faults to yourselves. not to YOUR

these defects exist Like Nehemiah OF old

Dry Goods.

New York, Nov. 0.-The week closed
without any change for the better in the
situation for dry goods in either cotton or
through the week both in store trading and
mail orders. 1t is rumored that bidding on
some lines is a little freer than it was the
early part of the week, but evidences Of this
very conservative in all their statements,
with regard to the market in any branch.
Jobbers continued somewhat scattered bus
variously distributed being reported in
nearly all departments. Collections were
reported fair. The demand for woolens was
heightened by the reluctance Of sellers to
fix prices for new goods. In staple cottons
there wa no change in the demand. Print
cloths closed nominal at 2 5-16c for extras.

A section creating the Railroad Com
mission was understood at the time Of
It's passage to prohibit free passes, bui
he Railroad Commission not having so
Construed it, unmistakable laws should
now be passed to prohibit this evil. The
railroads could not turn a wheel or
move a car but with money collected out
IF the people.
10 continue the present system is TO
provide an ofiice-holding aristocracy who
ride free at an added expense to their
constituents. There is less excuse for
members Of the Legislature to ride on
free passes MS they are paid 10 cents
per mile by the State, each way.
The provisions for the keeping a list Of
free passes to those not ofiice-holders is
safeguard to prevent abuse.
The increase in the value of money
by the addition Of the gold standard has
greatly increased the rates OF railroads,
telephones and telegraphs which are
and remain as high as they were when
farmers got from 10 to t3 cents a pound
for cotton, and $3.50 to $500 for wheat
and S100 for corn. The men who own
and control these corporations, are the
very men who have brought this country
to the gold standard These necessary
Institutions Of civilization are now prac-
tically restricted to the use of the rich
and dead head officials except in cases Of
emergency and necessity.
To reduce their charges somewhat in
proportion to the rise in the value of
money and the corresponding decline
in prices in produce and labor, would be
just to them and would again throw open
the uses Of these great conveniencies to
the public at large as should be the ease.
The majority of the committee, after
hearing the arguments of the railroad,
telegraphed and telephone lawyers
against the bill. declined to hear the
undersigned CHauserl, in favor Of the
bills after agreeing to do so. Even II.
r. Commissioner S. Ohio Wilson came
before the committee purposely to balk
and defeat the bill by saying the r. Rs.
could not live at and IL cents per mile
and after that acknowledged that the
average now was only > 1-5 cents per
mile.
These are some of the reasons we offer
this minority report to the House of
Representatives, so as to manfully bring
the issues before the people and then
let the people judge the actions Of their
representatives on the bills

ed to Jefferson county, N. Y, where he
received his early education: later in 1882
emigrating to Pembina county, locating
II Fremont township. He was member
of several fraternal orders among others,
the Masonic, K. OF P. and Workman and
was inferred here last Sunday under the
beautiful and impressive funeral service of
the Free Masohs. A special train from
st. Thomas bringing the remains, accom-
panied by the several lodges along the
route. Masons from St. Thomas, Crys.
tai, and Cavalier were present; also the
K. Of P. OF ST. Thomas escorted by the
division OF the Uniform Rank OF the lat
ter order from Grafton, the visitors num-
bering between three and four hundred

spect. 1t was perhaps the largest
funeral ever witnessed here. We tendery
condole with the family of the deceased
on the dispensation which it has pleased
Divine providence to afflict them with
and commend them for consolation to
Him who orders all things for the best,
and whose Establishments are always
measured with mercy.
