The Pioneer Grip, of Alliance, Box
Butte county, Nebraska, reproduces in
full, a CONSERVATIVE editorial upon the
obligations of parents to their children
and kindly remarks:
$50 many articles are published these
days concerning the proper training of
children and written by people having
neither children nor the inclination to
get them that the public has come to
look upon such advice with feeling of
contempt or disgust. However, when a
man having achieved the success Of J.
Sterling Morton, in giving to the world
a family of the eminent attainments
possessed by his own sons, has anything
to say, it is given thoughtful considera-
tion and attention. The following arti-
Gle taken from the Nebraska City Con-
SENTATIVE must be admitted by all
thoughtful persons as containing ideas
eminently correct"

fortably, than are the scores Of well-to-
do farmers in Germantown; and what
they are doing, tens of thousands more
industrious and intelligent farmers
could do. By the way, it would open
the eyes of thousands of people in this
city who "have their noses Oh the grind
stone" and who are struggling so hard
to make ends meet and to live respect
ably" on meager salaries, should they
go out and visit around for few days
amongst those same Germantown farm
ers and see how nicely they are getting
along. They secure here in Duluth ga

they have to sell and that is all that

POLITICAL.

"In all New England, except Massa
chusetts, in New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, in
all the South, except South Carolina,
the organization is against the campaign
Mr.. Bryan is now conducting in the
Commoner." says the Louisville Post
"Mr. Bryan is fighting buzz-saw. He
will yet learn the real character Of the
machine he fondled and smiled upon
last year.
Speaking of Gov. Odell's visit to Buff
falo, the Courier says: "This is not
Pan-American pleasure trip, but a visit
of inspection to state institutions. 1t is
creditable to the governor that he is
willing to take this midsummer period
for so important and arduous task.
He has thus far given the state a
business-like administration, and if he
and the legislators who control the
appropriation of public money can find
places where economies can be effected
without injuring the efficiency of the
institutions, they will be entitled to the
thanks of the taxpayers"
Chairman Jones, of the democratic
national committee, in dropping Mr..
Bryan, suggests that the next candidate
of the party for president may be some
obscure person, not now thought of in
connection with the exalted position.
Commenting upon this suggestion, the
Philadelphia Record says: "In these
days, when everybody who is popularity
regarded as anybody, lives in the glare
of publicity, it would be difficult for
Chairman Jones to find candidate for
the presidency possessing the requisite
quality of obscureness. When found
he might prove woeful choice. In
stead, then, of searching for an obscur-
ity, it would be much better to nom4-
nate for the presidency some democrat
who is well known to the people for his
qualities as political leader and states
man."

BOYS, GET A FARM !

SATURDAY ENeuluS TOSt, eApIesSeS Gho
conviction that within the next fifty
years, all farming lands that are at all
well-located, anywhere in the United
States, will be worth at least from 5000
to $500 per acre, while those lying close
to market and the cities will be worth
more yet. He says that this will not be
due to speculation in agricultural lands,
but simply to the demands which our
rapidly increasing population will make
upon lands of that class. He advises the
young men of this country to get farms
to take up homesteads if possible and
to improve them as rapidly as possible
and then hold onto them. He says that
nothing that he knows of in the line of
what is called, Legitimate business"
promises so well as does the securing of
desirable farming lands before the price
goes any higher.
He calls attention to the fact that in
spite of the so-called "dull times" of the
past six or eight years, the price of farm
ing lands has steadily advanced, and
he says they are bound to go higher,
right along.
This article would be incomplete did
we not say that in our opinion, farming
can be made to pay in St. Louis county
about as well as in any other portion of
the country, so that it is not necessary
for one desiring farm to go away out
to Kansas or Nebraska, or even to the
western portion of the state or to the
Dakotas. All that is needed to ''make
farming pay" here is to know how to
farm-to carry on farming operations
intelligently. For instance, it is not
worth while for farmer in this vicin-
ity to waste his time in raising wheat.
We do not say this for the reason that
this country will not produce good
crop of that cereal, for as a matter of
fact it can produce the very best of
wheat; but we make this statement be-
cause land here will produce far more
profitable crops than wheat. For a
farmer in this county to make a special
ty of raising wheat, would be trying to
beat the Red River farmer cat his own
game" Let the Red River farmer on
the open prairie go ahead with his
wheat raising; but let the St. Louis
county farmer turn his attention to
other matters-to products that he can
raise far more profitably.
For instance, we are safe in saying
that this county is not to-day produc-
ing the one hundredth part of the vege.
tables, butter, eggs, cheese, poultry
strawberries, blackberries, currants, pie
plant and celery, &c. &C., that her peo.
pie consume and yet this county is ad
mirably adapted to produce all these
staple family necessities.

COMMENTS ON THE CONSERVATIVE.

The editor of the Nebraska City
CONSERVATIVE is thinker, and some
times confronts the people with homely
truths. In instance:
every man and woman holding the
Office of parent ought to realize the fact
that the children are drafted into this
world, that they came into the battle of
life not as volunteers, but as conscripts.
The fathers and mothers of the land are
responsible for the existence of the
children, and the obligation is largely
upon the parents to so develop, physi-
cally and mentally, those children, as to
make them good citizens. Under our
modern school system, the duties of
parenthood are very much lessened, ap-
parently, by the attempt of the state to
act as parent-general for all families.
Thus the common-school system, to-
gether with the purchase Of the text
books for pupils, has in manner, re-
leased the fathers and mothers of the
country from a natural duty and obli-

Lightning Opens a casket.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat of re-
cent date publishes a special stating that
at the town of Hanston q five-year-old
daughter of Samuel Nc Preaz died, or
seemed to die, Sunday morning The
funeral services were held Monday and
on the way to the cemetery the metallic
casket was struck by bolt of lightning
and split open. Thereupon, TO the
amazement and CONSERVATION of the
funeral party, the child sat up and called
for her mother The horses were knock
ed down but no other damage was done
The little girl is in fair way to recov-
cry. 1t Is believed she was in catalep-
tic state, from which the shock of light
ming reused her.
People who Were in the funeral pro-
cession tell many strange stories in
connection with the occurrence. Some
of them say that just prior to the fash
of lightning, peculiarly soft mellow
light appeared in the sky, which was so
pronounced in its difference from sun
light as to attract attention and occasion
comment, and while the peculiar atn1os-
pheric or light conditions were being
discussed the clap of thunder and flash
Of lightning riveted their attention upon
the strange scene which followed.
1t is also said chat the lightning after
passing through the metallic coffin, pass
ed along the running gear of the spring
wagon and out on the double and single
trees and burnt the ends of the leather
traces, so that when the horses which
had been knocked dowr, struggled to
their feet, they were practically unhitch-
ed from the vehicle that contained the
broken coffin and resuscitased child
What is thought to be one of the
strangest features Of the remarkable oc.
currence is that nobody was killed OF
even seriously hurt by tine lightning

To the Republicans of Wisconsin -
The undersigned, republican members
of the Pfister legislature Of 1901, are
convinced that the republican party OF
Wisconsin is pon the verge of crisis
which can only be averted by organlzed
efforts ON the part OF corporations ''ld
federal officials who consider THEIR
OWN welfare above party success.
AS representatives of the corporations
we view with alarm the persistent Ell
fort to strengthen the executive at the
expense of the legislative department OF
the state.

tive power shall be vested in senate,
assembly and corporation lobbyists.
The perpetuity of our institutions de
ponds upon the independence and in
tegrity of each of the coordinate
branches Of our government Each

should submit TO dictation from the
corporations ANY attempt to subordi-
nate the lobbyists to the control OF the
executive is Revolutionary and de-
serves prompt and emphatic rebuke.
The public interest demands that
among the several departments OF gov
eminent there be cordial and courteous
cooperation. These propositions are sc
fundamental that they are more vita
than party success itself.
ClMany warrantable ipterferences witt
the power Of the lobby and attempts te
coerce acquiescence in reasonable act
and wise experiments at the last session
were contrary to the welfare OF the cor
porations and created bitter factiona
differences in the republican party.
The party must not permit itself t.
be divided, and possibly destroyed, b.
fractional disputes. Its work Is too i'm
portant to be dominated, except TO
personal ends.
For IL ese reasons we present TO yol
