THE BEE AS A BAROMETER.
The Queen Has a stan of Weather
Prophets.

Such should be the title of these lines,
for whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind of weather to be ex-
pected. At least that is the opinion Of
many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home when
rain is In the air. When the sky is simply
dark and cloudy these busy workers do
not leave their dwelling all at once A
Few go out first, as though the queen
had sent out messengers to study the
state of the atmosphere. The greater
number remain on observation until the
clouds begin to dissipate. and it is only
then that the battallons entire rush out
in search of their nectar. A bee never
goes out in a fog, because It IS well
aware that dampness and cold are two
fearsome, redoubtable enemies. We do
not mean, however, that the bee is a
meteorologist in the absolute sense Of
the word. Its cleverness consists in never
being taken unaware, for 1t possesses
untiring vigilance. Often one may OBJ
serve the sudden entrace of bees into
the hive when a dense cloud hides the
sun, and even though the rain is not In
evidence

Will Not Support cummins.

Although in Iowa, as elsewhere, the
Anti-Saloon League has not been un-
friendly, to draw it mildly, to the Re-
publican party, recent events prove
that it contains an element which can
not under all circumstances be count
ed on to advance the interests of that
party. H. H. Abrams, State Supt.,
had announced in the public press that
he would support A. B. Cummins, the
Republican candidate and notorious
champion of license, for Governor.
Prohibitionists throughout the state
who had been supporting the League,
and others of it's members, chiefly Re-
publicans, who would not support
Cummins, rallied to the state conven-
tion of the League, ousted Abrams
from the superintendency and started
the League upon career more in har-
mony with it's professed purpose to
oppose all candidates in all parties
who befriend the saloon by adopting
the following resolution:
'We are opposed to any candidate who,
directly or indirectly, favors the sale in
this state of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage, and we pledge ourselves in this
campaign to oppose the election of any can
| didate who is not in harmony with this
| resolution. We believe that it is the duty
of Christian and temperance voters of the
| state to cast their votes for candidates fa-
| vorable to the absolute prohibition of the
| liquor traffic.

TWO PRACTICAL PAPERS.

what Can a Prohibition City OFF,
cial Do?" was discussed at the Nation
al Prohibition Conference at Buffalo
last month by Hon. Jas. Mansell, who
was elected mayor of Williamsport,
Pa, on a straight Prohibition ticket.
He must be the servant of all the people,
He must have the courage of his convic-
tions. While he cannot make Prohibition
laws, he can take the statutes as he finds
them and enforce them without fear or
favor He can see to it that all depart
ments of the city are conducted on bus-
ness principles He can stand at all times
directly in the way of vicious legislation.
He can suppress houses of ill-fame, gam
bling, etc. He can in many ways better the
condition of the poor.

Farm Lands for Sale.
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha Railway has choice farm lands
for sale in Northern Wisconsin, at low
prices and easy terms of payment.
Early buyers will secure the advan-
tage of locations on the many beautiful
streams and spring fed lakes, which
abound with fish and furnish a never
ending and most excellent water sup
ply, both for family use and for stock.
Land is generally well timbered with
a mixed hardwood growth, the soil fer
tile and easy of cultivation and this is
rapidly developing into one of the
greatest sheep and cattle-raising re-
gions in the Northwest.
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Duluth, Superior, Ashland
and other towns on "The Northwest

kets for stock and farm produce

Keep Converts in Prohibition Ranks"
First, catch them Many vote our ticket
for a campaign or two who were never
caught and fastened as party Prohibition
lists. We have allowed many to get away
from US who. at the hour of their convic-
tion as to truth and duty would have
burned every Republican or Democratic
bridge behind them and enrolled them
selves as Prohibitionists
Open commitment to the Prohibition
party before neighbors and friends gen
orally burns the old-party bridge. En-
rollment in Prohibition ranks will insure
marching to Prohibition music in the next
campaign, and probably through several
campaigns.
l believe in the political pledge Call
upon the Prohibition convert to testify. Set
him to work.
A live Prohibition party will know it's
converts by name, will enroll them upon it's
records, will encourage and aid them in
study of its literature, and will see that
they are on hand and make response for
Christian politics when it is roll-call at the
polls.
/ believe that at least $4,000 men in this
state OF New 4OrK nave voted the PrOnlDl-
tion ticket at some time within the last
fifteen years. Why did over $4,000 of these
men, former Democrats and Republicans go
back to their wallowing in old-party mire
1t is an easy conundrum. What else could
you expect when less than one in every
three of the whole number read Prohibit
tion paper?
A live church knows it's converts by name,
enrolls them upon it's records, encourages
and aids them in Bible study. The Eey to
Prohibition party faithfulness fits nearly
the same lock. Imagine church converts
left, at the close of a revival, to feed thei1
hearts and minds only on the pages of Vol
taire, and Tom Paine, and Bob Ingersoll
As we'll expect them to read only infide
literature, every day, and remain Christian
believers as expect Prohibition converts tx
read only Democratic and Republican litera
ture and remain true to Prohibition party

Omni- Partisanism in Mime.
SOta.


The Minnesota Issue is the state organ of
the Anti-Saloon League. 1t is edited by
Rev. r. H Battey, the State Superintend-
ent of that organization. The August num-
Der contained lengthy review of the work
OF this on.ni-pdftisdn society in this state
since its organization here. Among the
sixteen points which Supt. Battey thinks
have been gained as a result of the work
of the League is the following
Third. 1t has by inaugurating onpni-
partisan temperance a statewide basis

upright and influential Christian temper
ance men who are now contributing time

The italics are ours. None of the
half dozen or more dictionaries which we
nave consulted contain the word omni-
partisan. 1t was probably coined by the
society which so frequently and prominently
uses it to characterize it's own work We
must therefore look to that society for a
definition of it's meaning. In Minnesota at
least omni bipartisan means bitter opposition
to and contemptuous language concerning
the only political party in the field in this
state which stands for the death of the sa-
loon.

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

No greater boon has ever come to the agricultural interests of the South than the development of it's manu- facturins industries during the last fifteen years. As the movement gains impetus the farmers and landowners will realize more and more fully the benefits to be derived from the widen ing of their opportunities. The South has so long been classed as a purely agricultural section that the change it is now undergoing upsets accepted traditions. That it should utilize large part of its cotton and lumber and iron ore on the spot is an evidence of the economic progress of the age.
 What the South is doing. and what it aspres to do to constantly in creasing event, is to create home markets for it's raw products. There is a point at which agriculture must soon languish when it is subjected to
  inevitable tendency is for the manu- facturer to get as near as possible to his points of supply. It is this in= fuence that of late years has been building up new manufacturing com mlnities all over the South and turn ing to account the rich natural re- sources that have long been allowed to lie neglected or hidden. There is no good economic reason why the South should have waited so long for it's cotton mills It had the power and the matrials, but it was satisfied to let trade follow the beaten path and to ship it's cotton to New England and Great Britain. Now that it has awakened from it's lethargy it pro- poses, with the aid of capital and business experience to make the most of the advantages that have fallen to it's part.
 The staff correspondents of the North American have visited many of the southern cities during the past month. They have found that the one great need of the South, in the minds of it's leading business men and public officials, is manufacturing establish ments to work on native products. At Danville. Va. for example. Mayor Wooding says local capital is plenti- ful, but the business men lack eXpe- rience in manufacturing What they desire, as he points out, is some one to lead the way. to start and manage the plants with the cooperation of local investors. They know their own opportunities, but are timd about taking hold of them without outside assistance and advice.
 The springing up of manufacturing towns and cities throughout the South will stimulate every branch of indus try. It is not merely a question of finding easier and better sale for the raw materials that go into the making of finished articles. but of encourag- ing a greater diversity in production. Immigration and advancement in a material way will constantly create new needs that must be supplied and afford new openings for profitable labor.-Philadelph North American.
