CURES By INHALATION.

we are to have republic here and a
military depotism there -
never heard but three arguments in
defence of imperialism. First, there is
money III It: second, God is in it.: third,
we are in It and can't get out. Uaugh-
teri 1 want to speak of them one at the
time, Who says there is money in it?
The man who says so must show how
much 1t costs and how much we are go
ing TO get out of it. He must show how
much the war of conquest will cost-and
no man can tell that. When you start
in war Of conquest you never. know
when you are going to get out, and how
much it will cost You to get out; and II
you want an Illustration of that You see
what is going on now in South Africa.
England started in the war of conquest.
and she has already spent more money
than she expected to spend in the whole
war, and her soldiers have not yet reached
Ladysmith, and God grant they never
may. Great applause)
My friend, want to warn you that you
cannot afford to do thing that is morally
wrong because you think there is going
to be money in it.
LET THE NATION STAND ERECT.
The Bacon resolution almost passed
Congress In spite of his opposition. The
vote was so close that it required the
vote of the Vice-President That resolu-
ton promised to the Fiiipinos indepen-
dence on the same terms as to the
Cubans You say now instruction has
broken out. it has been rendered impos-
sible until that has been put down. say
my friends we need never have had that
insurrection if we had told those people
we were there only to establish gov
eminent.
You tell me that it is the destiny of
this nation TO sink to the level OF the
empires OF the old world; that we must
follow in the footsteps of the govern
ments gone down to decay? 1 deny 1t.
Let this nation stand erect Let 1t show
that there is a difference between a
monarchy and a republic. Let this nation
practice the doctrine Of self-government,
and then it can preach it everywhere;
and then as this nation grows in strength,
population and influence. its power fol
good will increase and whenever people
anywhere struggle for liberty and die for
tbe right to govern themselves, this
greatest republic OF history can say to
them: God bless you. may you win
YOUR struggle for independence" Gap

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.
There was practically no rain
north of the Minnesota river during
the week, and in southern coun-
ties there. were only lighu and much
scattered showers. The weather
was cool in the middle OF the week,
and on the mornings Of the End, 3rd
and 4th there were severe frosts, and
ice was formed in many places as
thick as window glass. Early in the
week high winds dried out the soil,
and in Kittson county a severe dust
storm was reported. The barley
and oats are about all seeded; most
of the wheat and much OF the oats
and barley are up and growing very
nicely with good stands, though in
Polk: county it is said that wheat is
not as even as it would have been
with earlier and more abundant
rains. The cool. weather of the
week has been favorable to the root
growth and stooling OF early sown
mall grains. Potato: planting is
pretty well advanced. Flax has
been sown during the week, and in a
few places it is all in. the ground.
Some corn has been planted and q
great deal of corn ground is ready
for the seed, but many are deferring
planting till the soil is warmer.
Gardening is very we'll advanced, and
the market gardeners have made the
first deliveries of out-of-door grown
stuff. The warm weather of the
previous week started the fruit buds,
and wild plums, crab apples, cherries
and Strawberries are in full bloom,
or nearly so. Reports as to the
effects of the frosts are contradictory.
The cold was severe enough, especial
~ on low lands, to freeze the young
plants of vegetables, and grains, and
possibly the fruit blossoms, and in
some places the vegetables. and all
grains but wheat were wilted to the
ground, but as the rfrosts of early
May have not caused serious loss in
previous years, it ts probable that
the injury to fruit and grains will be
found to be slight this season. Pas
lures are green, but the growth OF
grass will not he rapid till there is
more rain, and warmer weather.
