Brother Paradis came among us
about eight years ago and preached to
us of Gods love to fallen man; as time
and opportunity has presented he has
visited US frequently since, ever evin-

for the master. His visits to us have
been only of pleasantness, and instruc-

greetings have cheered US, and his dec
Iarations of Gods love and mercy have
encouraged US to increased faith, hope
and love.
We feel that in his death we expert
ence loss irreparable and for which, in
sorrow, we humbly bow in submission to
this dispensation of all wise provi-
dence.

Albert Lea, MIMI, Nov. 10, 1900
{Special.)-There are few men and
women in this State, or indeed in the
whole Northwest, who have not heard,
or do not know personally, Mrs. Hen
riette G. Olberg OF this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, and Superintendent Of Flax
Exhibit ut the International EXPOSE
tion at Omaha, Neb., In 1898. Mrs. o.
berg Is Secretary of the National Flax.
Hemp and Ramie Association. and AS
sistant Editor Of the "Distaff."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says;
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties so taxed my strength
that / thought 1 would have to give
them up. Through the continual change
Of food and irregular meal hours, and
a poor quality Of water, / lost my APP
petite, and became wakeful and nerv-
ous In the extreme. My kidneys re-
fused to perform their usual duties.
One of my assistants advised me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent for a
box. / am pleased to say that l de-
rived immediate and permanent bene-
fit. / used three boxes, and feel ten
years younger.
Il have great confidence In the eff
cacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am
always glad to speak a good word in
their favor.

Economic Effects OF the Coal strike.

Chicago Chronicle: An influential
eastern organ OF opinion says thai the
anthracite miners "are entitled to their
advance ITO per cent In wagesl I'm view
of h severity OF the labor they per-
form n the dangers they incur"
II maintains, however, that the ques-
ton whether the market will justify
such an advance Is an open one which
can be settled only by the practical
test.
In this connection II directs attention
TO the fact that we are exporting coal
IN increasing quantities, and points out
that this export trade is likely to be
checked or arrested entirely If the ad-
vance in wages compels the operators
to advance the price In order to save
themselves from loss.
This brings into view q more remote
economic question. 1t is quite true as
an economic proposition hat a perma-
nent advance In price is pretty sure to
cut off demand wherever the market is,
at home or abroad. If the demand falls
off less coal must be mined and miners
must be laid off. If the operators must
advance the price in order to save
themselves from loss there must be
less demand, less output and less EN-
ployment for labor.
IT follows that in order to keep the
lull lOTCe employed the price must ne
reduced to the old figure and wages
must be reduced to that end, because
operators will not submit to continual
loss.
This Is the immediate economic prop
osition. The remoter one relates to the
conservation of our coal supply. 1t is
not desirable to hasten the exhaustion
of our coal measures by stimulating ex-
ports. Even less is IT desirable to force
our miners to subsist on starvation
wages in order to maintain an export
trade in coal.
1t would be much better for the men
to maintain fair wages even If some
of them are forced to seek other en-
Payments. 1t would be far better for
the country to conserve the coal sup
ply than to hasten it's exhaustion by
expectation.
The same may be said OF the iron
supply, which is pretty sure to be con
erved by an advance in the price Of
coal.
Looking, therefore, to the more re-
mote economic results we may regard
the outcome OF the strike with satisfac-
ton. II is likely to improve the condi-
ton Of the miners on the one hand and
to strengthen the country for the inter-
national economic contests of the fu-
ture on the other hand.

DIsrespect for a Dynasty.

Philadelphia Record: Prince Su, who
accompanied the Chinese imperial
cour on Its flight from Picking, tells a
story which should give pause to those
powers that persist in their d~isorganiz.
ing tactics in Picking and vicinity. The
ruftianism displayed under the very
eyes OF the emperor and empress dow
ager by the army. which accompanied
the ~fugitives, the sacking and pillage
of villages and the slaughter OF their
Inhabitants, show tn what q low estate
the imperial authority has fallen in
China. The mutinous soldiery even
went so far as to appropriate the meals
prepared for the august ~personages
whom they were supposed to guard. 1t
would require very little to e~xtinguish
the authority OF the emperor and en-
press dowager altogether, and then
chaos would be let loose in China. 1t

tive craftsmanship to manifest itself

There is a further warning Of the in
suficiency Of the Russian crops. This
comes from the ministry of agriculture,
which admits that the crops OF this
year We're considerably below the av-
erage It's reports coming from more
than 1000 correspondents. AS Russia
has had two poor crops lately, and as
the Russian government has sometimes
stated the crops more favorably early

OUR SOUTHERN VENTURES.
American Capital Is Monopoiizing vcne
zuela and Mexico.

aA0 tAHSC
Venezuelan Herald: The perusal OF
the following lines Will furnish mfor-
nation to those persons in Venezuela
who smile when American capital and
enterprise are spoken Of. Let them
know that the Moniteur Ofdciel du
Commerce Francois says Of the Is, 200
kilometers of railroad IL, 400 are Ameri-
can; that of the 1880 mines in exploita-
ton. 1880 are worked with capital Of
the same nation; that of the $500 en-
fployes OF the American railroads, only
1,030 are the sons OF Uncle Sam, and
h others are natives OF the country;
that one bank In every three is Ameri-
can, that the which used TO
be monopolized by the French, Spanish
and Germans is now being fought for
by the Americans. The following are
the words Of M. Signoret, councillor OF
the French board OF foreign trade.
French, English, Germans and
Americans, we shall all find ourselves
competing harder than ever.
wv ave on our side past success,
acquired strength; the Germans, and
especially the English, have at their
disposal enormous capital and great
~audacity. AS to the Americans, I'm adj
dition to these clements, they have in
their favor the proximity OF their coun-
try-1ve days-the facilities offered by
ilelT low tdTlI, tnelf entefprlSinR spirit
and the which the
cial ard industrial American people
shower On their pioneers abroad. They
have also another advantage.
namely, that in the United States Mex
lean business is sought for: this they
understand quickly, investigate and
execute. In France months and some
times years, elapse before a hearing or
investigation can be obtained for a
Mexican affair.
I'm a word, Mexico has been made
known and developed by the Ameri-
cans, who, thanks to their IL, 400 kilo-
meters of railroad, have enabled the
wealth OF the country to be exploited.
The day General Porfrio Diaz and his
minister, Pacheco, gave them 120 con-
cessions, of which only 107 have seen
the light, he served his country, for he
encouraged a practical people, who
have sowed the country freely with
gold. What Porfirio Diaz did for the
Americans he has tried to do on many
occasions for the French, but they have
turned a leaf ear TO him and have pre-
ferred the Transvaal. but they have
time yet to show a little initiative"
Coming from a Frenchman, clothed
with an official character, these words
should cause reflection in certain gov
eminent officers who believe that up to
the present time the United States
have not gone out of themselves nor
invested their capital abroad. May
these lines, reproduced in the interests
of their country, not allow them to re-
main any longer In ignorance.
