FINANCIAL CHILLS.

Thousands ana hundreds Of thou
sands of people in Christian America
observe the Sabbath because it is
written, Remember the Sabbath
Day to Keep it Holy" Others, and
many of them, who are not obedient-
ly led by Gods holy word, observe
the Sabbath as a day of rest because
they feel the need of it and realize
the wisdom in it.. But following is
a strong appeal to another and a
different class, and the logic of it
seems irresistible. The article is
from 1.-THE Interior" and reads as
follows:
THE fact that Sunday opening
was a financial failure in Chicago
during the Columbian Exposition of
1893, ought to refute the assertion so
frequently made that the laboring
classes demand it, There is no
city in the Union which has in it
less of native American sentiment
and more of foreign custom there is
no city in the Union in which the
proportion of labOrer to capitalists is
greater than here; nevertheless
Sunday opening did not pay In
Chicago, and it did not pay because
the foreign, antiSunday element
did not care to visit museums or art
galleries on Sunday. The work
man in America is beginning to
realize that in lending himself tc
Sabbath desc Grafton he is grid
ing the tree that shades him.
An open fair means an open fac
tory, and that which multiples
the rich mans recreations in
creases the poor mans labors. Witt
present machinery, to say nothing
of future inventions, America car
now produce all that she can sell
working onlv six days of eight hours
each. To add the seventh day il
only to bring her financial panic
nearer together, each caused by
'over. production Four times II
every century, as things now are, w
suffer as u nation a oongestive chill
because we have made more thai
we can dispose Of. What is the u.s.
of making it five chills, az we ar,
bound to do when Sunday is added
to the secular days of the week?"

Another Premium Offer.

A special New York correspondent
to one of our exchanges says:
divorce has become the popular
way of ending marriages that did
not pan out as expected. | am well
satisfied that it should be so, in spite
of the clergy. / do not believe men
and women should be held in matri-
mOnial bondage when circumstance
make the relationship of husband
and wife impossible. There is no
reason why good woman, finding
heI self the wife of bad man, should
have her present and future happi-
ness marred or wrecked because her
lord aud master has proven himself
false to his obligations. He may be
chaste enough, and yet devil other
wise. Or vice versa, there is no rea-
son why man should live with
woman who makes his life misery
and his home hell.
"If misery comes and the bond is
broken, the law should protect the
innocent offsprings and the, wife if
wronged; but continuance in the
marital state when love no longer
sanctions, is repugnant to nature,
crime against the community, and
an otfense against morality"
Those are not very orthodox viaws !;
and all of our readers will not take
that view of the case; but some of
them may. 1t is an interesting ques-
ton, take what view of it you will,
and one we should like to have dis
cassed intelllgently in our columns.
So for the present we will switch
away from the voting and guessing
contests, and give the writer's a
chance.
Taking the above clipping for the
subject, we will give a premium of
FIVE DOLLARS for the best paper,
not to exceed 800 words, written for
the HERALD. The views expressed
may be othodox or unorthodox. If
they are too namby-pamby on the
one side or too radical on the other,
that will initiate against the paper.
What we want is an original, logical,
thoughtful, interesting presentation
of the question. The clipping itself
whether we agree with it's conclu-
sions or no, is we'll said its style and
diction is good.
The committee who may be call
ed upon to decide the contest, will
not be bound by any special code oil
rules. Men and women capable OF
judging literary contest will be
chosen, and without limitation OF
restriction they will decide, all
things being considered, which pa.
per they think the best.
The HERALD will not obligate it.

depends upon the number we re-
ceive ard the quality of their pro
auctions. We will claim, however
the privilege Of publishing those We

in order to compete for the prize
must affiX their signatures. But il
order to encourage all who write tt

keep in profound secrecy the names

We have not thespace to keep this

pany may not be able to gobble the
Texas wells just vet, but, all the
same. it has already gained com
pand of the means of shipping their
product and can put the screws on

either by lew or revolution, control
their shipping facilities, or else lose
the major part of the profit from
their oil discovery. 1t would be

WHEN the whisky interests of the
country are effected by law, they
make the law unpopular by refusing
to obey it,.and then ask it's repeal
because of it's unpopularity. That is
how they are trying to get rid OF the
anti canteen law. They say 1t can
not be enforced. OF course we all
know that it can be. The trouble Is
that the officers do not want 1t en-
forced. The law was passed in
obedience to the public sentiment or
the country at large. Its weakness
lies in the weakness of that senti-
ment in army and political circles.
If the penalty for whiskey drinking
and drunkenness was as severe as
it should be, drunkenness could be
abolished in the army Ii the re-
crulting officers would require a
good character for sobriety before
examining an applicant, that would

THE United States Supreme Court
decision in the Porto Rico cases is a
straddle, intended to placate the
country and please the administra-
ton. both at the same time. It's
meaning in nut she'll is that Con-
gress cannot collect the tariff tax
under it's present general law, but
that Congress has the power to do it
by special legislation. The diff
ference is a matter of very little
conse quence to Porto Rico. The
decision was practically forecasted
several months ago, this Court, to
all intents and purposes, being con-
sideled by the general public as a
part Of the present administration.
Since their decision of the Income
Tax cases, the confidence of the
country in the highest judicial
tribunal of the land has perceptibly
been on the wane. The Porto Rico
decision will be sure to intensity
this distrust into veritable disgust.

Should We be in the United States and get the United States mining law there will be a great deal of mining on this island; the country Is very rich in gold and cop per. but we have no mining laws and no authority to Prospect or mine.

 She should remain in Kansas, where she can do some good" he says in an interview. "I do not approve her go- show oc herself, as people out there only want to make fun of her think she is showinO to the world that she is losing her nerve.
 If she starts to raise any row in Chicago or other towns I hope they will put her in jail and make her suffer for it. l took her part and spent sev- eral hundred hard earned dollars while she was fighting saloons in Wichita, but when she goes out of her sphere will have nothing mere to do with her should she get into trouble"
 We predict that Mir. Nation will have great deal more to do with her should she get into trouble The trou- ble will be so near him that he cannot avoid having something to do with her, and when this clash among the Ma ti)ns comes the joint keepers through out Kansas win sympathize with MT. Nation and bless him for having ere ated an at least temporary diversion in the rear.
 There are two things in the interview that must be especially irritating to Mrs. Nation One Is the statement that her sphere Is bounded by the cor porate limits of Wichita; the other is the implication that she has been making a show Of herself. We feel quite sure that MT. Nation will asccr- tain that his fears regarding thc de- cadence of Carries nerve Is un- grounded.

On the face. the only object 70 be secured is uniform standa ii throughout the territory which could not exist even if all the county boards were capable and honest. Unfor- tunately, they are not County super intendents are generally supposed to be capable, but there are grave sus- picions that some Ct them have been unfair; that they have been guilty of iavoritism in grading papers of appli- oants and of thus foistlng upon the schools persons unqualified to teach.
 The anne ndment contemplates a pre- caution against another species of dis honesty. the giving out in advance to fdvorites of the examination questions. Under the new system. if it should be adopted, the county superintcndan,. to whom the sealed envelopes containing the questions would be sent as they are now, would be required to unseai the package in the presence of the ap- plicants and two other county officials. Thus there would be no opportunity for rasoality except by collision amon7 the officials. and the teachers in all parts of the territory would fare alike. There would be no more county cer- tificates.
 During the last two years there has been large percentage of failures In most counties. indicating that the standard was being raised. In some counties however. the number Of fall- ures was not increased. It was this circumstance that suggested the need Of some plan to secure uniformity In grading.
