there is not likely to be prolonged de-
bate over such an amendment"
Minnesota has gone through good
deal of this sort Of thing. It's people
had in great measure outgrown such fool
ishness. They had realized how injurious
it was and is to the development or
the state and the Northwest generally.
and the epoch which had marked the
most radical policies in this direction
has since been regarded by sensible men
as one which ought not to be recalled.
1t can doubtless stand some more of it,;
but the people, if they can ever make
themselves heard except through the
editors. will be found to have their own
views of the form of railroad admins
tration which is most promotfve of their
interests.
With settlers pouring into the state
month after month, and the work Of tilt
ing up our waste places in satisfactory
progress, it may appear to interested ed
itors sound public policy to represent
those responsible for the administration
of our trunk lines of railway as deter
mined to rob and Cypress the people
whom they can only prosper by serving.
But to every intelligent, thinking man,
resident either in the cities or the coun-
try districts of Minnesota, such conduct
will sooner or later present itself to
view as form of stock gambling as
dangerous and as thoroughly criminal
as was ever Instituted by professional
railroad wreckers in the past.

Republican candidates for every office
to be voted for in the spring are rising
and asking the attention of the chair in
the First ward. The disposition must
not be mistaken, however. for an indica-

These amiable gentlemen are assured
that they will at least probably carry
their own ward if they should happen
to be nominated.

Two local ciergymen IN their sermons
Sunday called attention to the tenden-
cy among the people to attach too much
importance to the material festivities
attendant on the Christmas season and
too little to its spiritual bearings. One
of these clergymen, as reported in
GIob e. declared thai. he had once heard
a lady say that Christmas was a season
when we buy things which we cannot
afford for persons who do not want them,
adding that he thought there was too
much Of hustle and extravaganza, too
much of dining and feasting, and net
enough of the religious observance of
this sacred festival. The other clergy
man. commenting on the small degree
in which the personality and example of
Christ appealed to the modern young
man, used the following language: IF
the emperor of Germany were to visit
US, how elaborate would be the prepara-
tons for his reception, while for the
Son of God, who is always with US.
there is reserved SO small a place.
No doubt there is a good deal Of truth
in what these reverend gentlemen say
But if it is true, does it not carry with
it something of an Indictment of the
work of those who call attention to it?
The. people of today are more thoroughly
religious than those of any preceding pc
Rod. Charity is more general among
them. EVIL thoughts and evil deeds are
but small fraction Of the activities of
men in actual life today Prevailing in
telligence notes that evil of itself pro-
duces evil and that the pursuit of evil
means encouragement and ruin.
Perhaps there is not as much Of the
religion which expresses itself in attend
ance at church as there has been in
the past. But the very best and most
religious of men outside of the Catholic
church alone often do not concede that
attendance Of church is any safe cri-
terion of the real Christian character
of a given life.
1t is the mission of the church and It's
ministers to teach men devotion to the
divine ideal, to set less store on the
things Of this life and more on those
Of the life to come; to judge others not
by their power or influence in worldly
affairs, but by the rectitude of their lives
and their activity in directions
which lead to the Strengthening of the
spiritual influence on human life. If that
mission is not being fulfilled with sue
cess it certainly does not lie with those
charged with it's fulfllment to complain
of their lack of success. Their com
plant cannot be Invested of the charac-
ter of confession and self-accusation.
The men and women of today have
higher ideals, and they see the right and
seek to do it with more certainty than
ever before. The correction to the ten
denotes which are away from those ideals
is the work of the ministers of the Chris
tan church rather than of complaint that
the remedy is needed and not applied,
or, if applied, is not successful.

Cloak sale Nov. 2, at Mrs. J. Hamm'S

Hamlet, CyranO de Bergerac, The
Merchant of Venice, and David Gar
rick composed the repertoire of the
Slayton New York Stock company
last season. These gre ltly disimilar
plays made fine impressions whenever
they appeared, and We expect that a
play like An Enemy To The Queen"
written by as great an. author as
Victor Hugo, and played by so COM
mendable star, supported by strong
company, should give the patrons of
our Opera House an entertainment
not often enjoyed by them To make
room for two great plays. 'An Enemy
To The Queen" and "Virginius' in
their repertoire. it has been found
necessary to dispense with Cyrano de
Bergerac and The Merchant of Venice
this season, retaining of last seasons
repertoire only Hamlet and David
Garrick The company carries special
scenery and practically no scenery of
the house will be used. This. with
the elaborate and snowy costumes of
the period represented, aud the good
acting that we expect from Mr.
Arthur and company, will give us an
evening Of wholesome entertainment
at the Opera House Nov. 2.

not mentally, Don Caesar being a

There has been considerable excite
ment the past week at a place called
Knapp in the vicinity of Mosinee over
the discovery of gold and silver in
what is said to be rich quantities.
No less than fifty assays have been
made, which show the presence of
gold and silver in quantities running
from s. to $50 ton. Experts say that
surface mining can be done with a
steam shovel at an expense of S1.5O
per ton, which would make the pro-
perty very valuable. There has been
a lively scramble for land in the
vicinity of Knapp on both sides of the
Omaha track, but holders now refuse
to sell, awaiting further developments.

The county board meets in this city

The county board meets ia this city
week from next Tuesday or on
November Il. Probably of the most
important matter coming before the
board is the election by the board of a
county tax commissioner. in accord
ance with the statute passed by the
last legislature. The duties of this
officer is to supervise aud to work in
connection with the assessors of the
county in listing property for taxation.
Probably the best equipped man for
this position, and we would suggest
his name for the office, is Judge John
A. Gaynor of this city. He has long
been we'll acquainted with values in
this county, and his experience as
special tax commissioner to adjust
valuations in Portage county has
given him extra training and special
insight into the work TO be performed.
