We are especially pleased with what
the law-officer of Ohio has to say about
the rights of the state as compared with
the rights of the nation. Liberty is not
thing of drums and trumpets. It con-
sists Of the preservation Of the rights of
the people; and in this matter the ballot
box. township and state, are the bull
warks of the citizen. While we are
proud Of our national government and
will maintain it in all it's rights, we can
readily see that it is so far removed from
the common citizen that it
may fall into the hands of
influences hostile to liberty. The doc
trine of States rights" was discredited
by the attempt at secession in 1861. But,
nevertheless, the states have their rights
and the peoples liberties may yet de-
pend upon the preservation of the
states. We need plain, homely, lib
erty that will insure every man equal
rights to prosperity. The splendors of
the world-conquering nation may graft
fly our vanity, but they cannot insure us
personal safety, full stomach, a warm
back and happy mind. I. D.

building up OF the Peoples party organiza-
ton and adhering strictly to it. The Peo-
pies party was well organized in 1894 and
tho reformers were being consolidated in 1t
with great rapidly; big men were joining It
as high privates. Ex-governors, ex-con-
gressmer., eX-judges were falling over each
other In their rush into the party. Con-
ferences sometimes are held merely to en-
able some gentlemen to. enlist as leaders,
as majors, colonies and generals-and each
one demands a little trimming here and a
little trimming there, until the principles Of
the movement are whitfield down entirely
too much. We believe the best way to unite
the reform forces is to get the Peoples
party as well organized as it was in 1894
and govern the party by the initiative ana
referendum. The Cincinnati plan should be
pushed. The Cincinnati nominations may
or may not be approved, but the plan of
organization should be nsed now and al
ways A precinct club organized under it
need never be disbanded, matter what
change may be made in name.
We do not think there is any desire
on the part of the rank and file to aban
don the Peoples party; but some of the
same men who led us into fusion In 1896
and 1893, with such disastrous results,
are now striving to break us up utterly,
for the benefit of Democracy. Let 'em

our own liberties make them part of our

have ignorance enough within our own

ANOTHER BANK GONE.

A'Minneapolis savings bank busted up
on last Friday, and was placed in the
hands of receiver. The deposits
amounted to s7,274.44; the total liabili-
ties of the bank are $S,179; the total
assets $7,63S.
Would it not be better to have govern
ment postal savings banks rather than
to have these constant failures and rob-
berries of depositors?
Why can't we have postal savings
banks?
The bankers don't want them, for the
reason that it would prevent just such
going. I'D.

Legends Of Falling Stars

In olden times it was thought that
falling stars were the souls Of the dead
whose thread Of life had been cut short
by fate. This was in Europe, for the
Arabs believed that they were flaming
stones thrown by the angels at the
heads Of devils when the latter ap-
preached too near to heaven. The
Koran reproduces this opinion, which
Is found scattered through all the re-
gions lying under the influence of Is
lamism, and consecrates it to a certain
extent Savage tribes possess coarse
conceptions Of the phenomenon. Other
peoples are more poetical. In Galicia
there Is legend which sees in each
falling star sprite. If the star falls
to earth 1t becomes a lady of the rarest
beauty, with tresses long, blond and
scintillating. This beautiful creature
exercises a magical charm on all who
behold her. In the silence of the night
she embraces them, until she STILES

the sweets of the wild flowers, and
after loading up on the mixture in the
box fly sluggishly to their tree, where
they discharge their load and return
directly to the box, bringing other bees
with them. When the hunter has the
bees working on the box it takes but a
short time to locate the tree where the
honey Is being stored up. AS a bee
leaves the box he watches the direction
of his flight. If the bee tree is a mile
or so away upon leaving the box the
bee rises perpendicularly to a height Of
forty feet, then heads directly for his
tree, but II the tree Is but few rods
away from the box the bee leaves the
snare leisurely, in a diagonal manner,
but directly toward his tree, for inva-
riably the bees fly to the storehouse Of
their money 'as the crow flies" The
hunter watches their flight, then takes
his box and follows upon their trail
from forty to eighty rods. The box is
again uncovered and the process is re-
peated, and so on until the line takes
him to the base of the honeybee tree.

One Of the quaint characters Of Sagi-

little fortune gathering wild honey
from the woods Of Saginaw County.
For upward Of forty years this strange
old man has roamed the forests and
wild lands of the valley, spending the
golden autumn days in the solitude Of
the woods and wild flowers spying
upon the secret hiding place of the
bees hard-earned treasure. The trade
Of bee hunter seems a very peculiar
one, almost an irksome task, but Mr..
McMurphy has piled it until he has
reduced it to a science, and each sea-
sons work generally averages him
from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds Of strained
honey. Some years he has done even
better than this and prepared for mar
ket over a ton Of the saccharine prod
uct. By an actual record Of each years
yield for the past forty years, which
ended on Nov. 15 last, Mr.. McMurphy
had gathered a trifle over twenty-six
tons of wild honey.
When the bee-hunting operations be-
gin in the fall 1t is with great difficulty
that the hunter succeeds in attracting

flowers to the bee box, a small wooden
