A story is told by the Independen,
asout the late Rev. William NJ. Taylor.
Of New York, which illustrates how
heartily he obeyed the Masters words
BE reconciled to thy brother"
1t is well known that he was a thor
oughly conservative man in all his the
illogical views. At one of the meetings
Of the Nanhat ttan Association a younger
ministerial brother had read q paper In
which certain views of inspiration were
expressed that did not at all meet his
approval, and he said so in very en-
phatic and not wholly courteous Ian
guage.
Immediately after the session came
to a close. DR.. Taylor was asked to
pray, which he did. AS soon as he had
finished his prayer he hurried as rap
Idly as he could to catch the brother
whom he had criticised, and gIsspine
him by the hand, said:
II beg your pardon for what I said;
beg your pardon for speaking ~
harshly as did"
The brother was startled, perhaps Q
little confused, and began to say that
he had taken no offense
But say you forgive mel Say you
forgive msv' said DR.. Taylor. The A..
surance was given. and DR.. Taylors
conscience and heart were relieved.

wanted. The bargain was made and
It was agreed that Bee should be sent

INGENIOUS JAIL PRISONERS.

Queer ThiaEs Made without the AID
Of the Sin nplest Tools.
Jailer Whitman, Of the county JAN,
has on his desk lamp which Il 1T once

be done by a prisoner with scant mate

Of tA--Ioners last week, and IL now

old Roman ones composed Of q floating

the receptacle for oil is a whisky Sottls

composed Of a cork and part Of a gas
jet The tip Of the Jet containing the
slot.shaped opening for the escape Of
the gas has been removed. leaving q
round hole IN the end Of the Jet. A
round hole had been made In the cork
Of the bottle with knife. and into this
the jet had been thrust, making a rud'
bnt effective burner.
In tho manufacture Of the wick, con.
siderable ingenuity had been shown.
1t is composed wholly Of white twine,
twisted into strands, and these neatly
braided together into q round wick, al
smooth and regular In appearance as
a braided sash cord. The wick runs
through the Jet down into the bottle.
A number of plumbers had been at
work about the Jail building just be.
fore the lamp was found. 1t is sup
posed that the gasoline in the bottle
was taken from their torches, while the
other materials had been picked up in
odd places. The only motive for the
manufacture Of the lamp which the
jailer can assign Is a restless longing
for something to do, as the cells Of all
the prisoners are brilliantly lighted by
electricity.
Another article Of prisoner manufac.
ture in Jailer Whitman's possession Is
billy" of which the butt or heavy
end. usually filed with bird shot, is

foil. Much of the smoking tobacco in
common use is packed in tinfoil, and
this, the jailer thinks. is the source
from whence it was obtained. The tin
foil was pounded into hard Jumps. and
makes fair substitute for shot as lead
for the billy. Its handle Is of cord,
tightly woven, and it Is supposed that
the leather cover Is from an old shoe.
The whole makes fair substitute for q
regular billy. and might be used with
considerable effect as a weapon.
In the pen;tentiaries many curious ar
ticles are furned out by the convicts
but in the county Jail the absence OF
anything In the way Of tools makes
these specimens Of prisoners ingenuity
rather rare.-Chicago Times-Herald

result Of scientific discovery applying
during the past century steam and
electricity to motive power to an ex-
tent undreamed of by the Missionaries
of the time of Columbus or of Sir Wal

spirit of this young republic has linked
the Atlantic with the Pacific. From
the head waters of Lake Superior two
great transcontinental lines stretch
themselves to the Oregon and Column
bia rivers, and to the shores which
look out upon the Orient. In this
very center of st. Paul these same two
lines of transportation have their ter

One of the New Ideas

From the New York Times
The new ideas that now possess American
minds are no mean compensation for the cost
Of the war
They are many, but take one alone. the
idea OF the open door. Do the American peo-
pie realize its breadth and reach? The an
nouncement by a Republican administration
with William Mckinley at its head that the
ports of a part Of our domain are to be open
to the ships and the goods Of all nations
upon the terms enjoyed by our own ships ard
goods is an event as mOmentous as a change
Of dynasty in a monarchical country Pro.ec-
ton has been our king and master These
who set him up and constantly augmented
MS power now set bounds to his sway. 1t is
the first step. Inevitably it leads to his de-
thronement and the emancipation of his op-
pressed realm. Free trade in Luzon Is incom-
patfble with protection in Massachusetts,. The
American sense of humor would tolerate 70
such ridiculous proposition. Besides, the
American manufacturer, having glutted the
home market, begins to strain at the ham
pering bonds of Dingleyism. The Spanish war
has knocked the life out of the doctrine and
practice of protection. 1t has freed US, or
will.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what Ii cost"

Mr.. Dearth's Views.

In the interview with Insurance Com

Mr.. Dearth's concern for this class of

tirely of Minnesota citizens, is natural
and proper. Whatever affects them af-

Sample of Wheat Grading.

Mr.. Laugalin. Of Birch Cooley Renville
county. who was caller Monday morning
says farmers are receiving four TO FIVE cents
per bushel less for their wheat than is paid
at New Ulm. OF course this s one OF the
results OF the wheat buying combination at
terminal points. where the price OF wheat at
every elevator In the state is fixed every
morning. This is made possible under the
present system Of state grading. which gives
the buyers at the terminal points the power,
with the aid of the state grain inspectors, to
fix arbitrary grades, dockage and prices. In
the case mentioned by Mr.. Laugalin 1t
should also be said that his wheat has all
been graded at Morton as No. 2, whereas

N,a-Roaa Ticket Hurt EustIs

The Fusion Populists have always called
the Mid-Roaders assistant Republicans, and
claim that we could not have taken a better
way to elect Eustis than by putting up a
third ticket. While we have said nothing
about 1t in public. we have said to our friends
right along and have written letters In which
we claimed that the broad ticket being
in the field would do more for the election
of Lind than anything that could have been
devised. Our reasons for saying so are iogi-
cal and the outcome has proved the truth
OF our prediction, that Lind would be elected
and the ticket would be defeated Judging
from the talk Of Mid-Roaders, and from the
letters we are receiving. come to the
conclusion that rs per cent Of those who
voted the Mid-Road ticket would have voted
for Eustis IL no Mid-Road ticket had been
put IN the field
But as things have turned out the vote
Of the Mid Readers would not have helped
Mr. Eustis even II he had It all We have
had many Republicans, even bankers and
lawyers say TO US within the past year tina.
II II were not for the fact that John Lind
believed in free silver and other Populist
heresfes, they would vote for him in pref
erence to any Republican in the state. The
fact that old-time Populists. the men who
made the party. put up a ticket of their
own on the ground that Lind was not a
Populist and the further fact that Lind
said the silver question was not an Issue In
the campaign. and that he was neither
Populist nor Democrat, convinced the in
dependent Republicans that they had nothins
to fear from Populism with John Lind at
the helm Of state. These are the men who
elected John Lind governor, and we see no
reason TO be sorry for what they did.
Nearly all the Republicans claim that 1t
was the Scandinavian vote which elected
Lind, and intimate that any man who could
prevail on the Legislature to put Ole as
prefix and SON as an afix to his name
would be sure OF election
But the assertion IL not true, and will re-
act upon the Republican party In the future
Tho ScandinaviAns are an honest race of
people, and II they voted for John Lind 1t
was because he has the reputation of being
an honest man. We say with Capt Lowe.

Secretary Longs Report.

The report of Secretary of the Navy
Long very appropriately rehearses the
history Of the Cuban war just closed.
1t is valuable in that it seems to make
clear many points which were in dis
putation with respect 10 the operations
of the fleet of the United States pre-
limtnary to the location of the Span
ish admiral. Cervera. within the little
bay Of Santiago.
The controversy between Admiral
Sampson and Admiral Schley has been
the most unpleasant feature of the
naval operations in the Caribbean sea.
The country was treated by Admiral
Sampson to his own report which en-
bodied the cold statements Of facts as
presented to him by the officers in COM
mand of the several vessels under his
direction. Admiral Schley made no
contention for specific honors in con-
nection with the battle at Santiago,
nor did Admiral Sampson accord to
him any special distinction beyond that
of the commander of the Brooklyn
which followed the Cristobal Colon and
eventually sank that Spanish man.
of-war with the aid of the Oregon, I'M
der the command of Capt. Clark.
The report contributes little in the
way of historic information bearing
upon the facts of the battle which has
not already found its way into print
1t appears to be evident, however,
that Admiral Schley did not originally
believe that the views of the govern
ment, as telegraphed to him from
IL.
fleet had been located within the bay
of Santiago. were entirely correct. Ad-
miral Sampson, perhaps, has suffered
a little of blame in not being more
declaratory of facts at the time the
history of the whole affair was in pro-
cess of creation. He chose rather to
vaunt himself into the worlds notice
as the commander of the fleet at the
time of the battle and to ignore the
service of Admiral Schley. doubtless
because of the existence of a feeling
of professional jealousy at that time
The report of Secretary Long makes
it appear perfectly clear that Admiral
| Schley did not in the earlier days Of
the pursuit believe that Cervera had
! entered Santiago bay. There does not
appear 10 De anything DlamaDle at
taching to the fact that Admiral Schley
failed to locate the Spanish fleet in
that port; neither does there appear to
be anything especially creditable TO
Admiral Sampson in this connection,
inasmuch as he was in just about as
much ignorance Of the location of the
| Spanish admiral as Admiral Schley,
until he was advised by the Washing
| ton authorities through Cuban sources.
One thing is certain the plain state
ment of facts ought to be enough to
satisfy the country that Admiral
| Sampson and Admiral Schley alike per-
| formed their duty, and, however far
the former may have departed from
| liberality of treatment and statement
| in regard TO Admiral Schleys part In
1 the battle. the victory was won by the
| alertness OF Admiral Schley and the
| commanders of the several vessels dis
| posed in the outing and altogether In
the absence of Admiral Sampson.
