a foolish American public to fighting
their own railroads, for the accomplish
ment of the avowed purposes Of those
gentlemen. What better allies could they
want than their American brother editors
who grow frenzied in showing to the
people of the American Northwest that
their own railroads are being administer
ed by bands of public robbers and ma
RAIDERS, and that it is their impoverish-
ment rather than their prosperity which
their own railroads seek. What a benei-
cent public institution is the British
subsidized transcontinental railroad along
side, for instance, of that inhuman pro-
duction Of the genius of a citizen of Min
nesota, whose home is here, whose life
has been devoted to the service of his
fellow citizens and neighbors, and who
never asked and never got dollar of
public subsidy to carry out the great en-
terprise of which he is the head.
The Canadian Pacific railroad and its
creature, the $500" line, have their Amer
lean lawyers, their American officials,
their American newspapers engaged in
this raid. They have tried to drag down
the American judiciary from the serene
heights of public justice to promote the
same end for which these Canadian
editors are among us-that of promoting
the interests of the Canadian Northwest
and it's people at the cost of the Ameri-
can Northwest and Southwest alike and
their people.
To those Of our fellow Americans who
have lost their wits h Globe ad-
dresses it's warning. This is an anti
American fight. It is one designed to in
jure the American people, to divert
American population, to build up the
Canadian Pacific railroad and the coun-
try it traverses at the expense Of the
Great Northern railroad and the North
ern Pacific railroad and the country they
| traverse. The time is coming when the
choice must be fairly made by the peo-
pie of this section, if this raid is to be
kept up, between the soil of their own
| land and that of people who are taught
by their politicians to be hostile to every
interest and every national preference
of the American public.

THE QUEST OF THE FATHERS.

What were our forefathers trying to find
When they weighed anchor, that des-
perate hour
They turned from home, and the warming
wind
Sighed in the sails of the old Mayhow-
What sought they that could compensate
Their hearts for the loved ones left

What were our forefathers trying to

What were they trying to find more dear
Than their native land and it's annals

It's throne-its church-and its worldly
Its prlncely state, and its boarded
What more dear than the mounds Of

long?
What more sweet than the throstle's

Faces pallid, but sternIy set.
Lips locked close, as in voiceIess prayer,
And eyes with never a tear drop Wet
Even the tenderest Woman's there
But Q the light from the soul within,

Adjustment of Life.

Adjustment requires Intelligence, rea-
son, discrimination. A thing is good In
no tendency is adequate by itself. To
feel to be deeply emotional, is to be no.
bic, if only emotion be balanced by or
ganic adjustment in scale of Worths or
values Life is first for feeling, then for
thought; now for science and now for
art; at times for contemplation and at
proper seasons for action. Through all
the channels of existence the divine life
streams, including every portion of the
body; and he is wise who neglects none
of these. Error is an aspiration for the
truth, potentially immanent in it. Ugli-
completion in good. Disease is lack of
symmetry; it's cure Is the attainment of
due proportion.-Horatio w. Dresser in

A SCANDINAVIAN LEGEND.

A Scandinavian legend gives to the mis-
tletoe mystic powers. Balder, the god of
poetry and song, tells his mother, F'rigga,
Of a dream foretelling his own DEATH. In
order to avert the impending doom.
Frigga invokes the powers of nature-fire
air, earth and water, and animals and
plants as Well-extracting from them a
vow that they will not harm her son.
Balder then takes his place fearlessly
among the battles of the gods, sustain
ing no injury, though in the midst Of
showers of arrows. But Lol1i, the god
Of evil and Balder's enemy, determined
to discover the cause of his invulnerabil-
ity, DISCUSSES himself as an old woman
and visits Frigga. He fatters her,
praises her sons valor and good for
tune, and at last extracts her secret from
her. She tells him that nothing can harm
Balder, as all the powers OF nature have
taken oath to do him no harm. There is
only one little plant, she tells him, to
which She did not appeal, and that was
so insignificant 1t would be impossible
for it to harm her son. Loki inquiries
the name of the plant, and finds it a
feeble shoot, growing on the bark of the
oak with scarcely any SOIL" Quickly he
procures some of the mistletoe, and APP
pearing before Holder, the blind god, the
god of darkness, who sits in the great
assembly, says: why do you not con-
tend with the arrows Of Balder?" 81 am
blind and have no arms is the reply.
Then Loki gives him an arrow made Of
the mistletoe and says: Bladder is be-
fore thee Holder lets go the arrow, and
Bladder falls dead. Loki's plot, however,
was not altogether successful, for Bladder,
by the united prayers Of all the gods and
geddesses was restored to life. The
fatal mistletoe was, after this, placed in
safety in the keeping Of the goddess Of
love, and, since that time, whose passes
beneath it receives a kiss from her lips
to show that the plant is no longer the
emplem of death, but of love- The legend
ends abruptly here, but doubtless the
fatal arrow of mistletoe was stolen by the
scamp Cupid, and transformed by him
into love dart to stock his CULVER
withal!

MONUMENT FOR WATERLOO.

France mas at last. after a lapse OF
elghty-six years, decided to mark the

issued being that the memorial must be

me monument is striking piece Of
work The principal figure represents
a dying eagle with one wing broken and
dropping by it's side and the otker ex-

firmly grasps the French flag, while with
the other the mortally wounded bird de-
tends the coIors on which are inscribed
the words ''AUsterlitz'' and 'Eylau"
The eagle is of bronze and stands on
huge boulder of marble, over which the
nag droops on one side, and on the other
will be carved an inscription, the exact
text OF which has not yet been decided
upon, but it will contain the date of the
Battle of Waterloo, and in a few brief

THREE-CENT FARES IN cEEYE14y1

AAhLE-CE01 HZ4hES IN Gle REfI.4ND
The city of Cleveland, Ohio, is in fair
way to see the three-cent fare establish
ed on all the street railways Of the city.
And the cities of St. Paul and Minneap-
oils, in the state of Minnesota, are long
ing for the realization of a like fare.
1t would be difficult matter for any
spokesman for the Twin City Rapid
Transit company-attorney or newspaper
TO make a plausible, much less a con-
vincing argument, why the two cities
should longer be denied the three-cent
fare.
In addition to the three-cent fare, there
are other things the residents of the
Twin Cities are hoping may soon be real
lied, to-wit: Better service, especially

during the hours when travel is heaviest
and cross-town line, probably on Dale
street.
If more cars were run the necessity of
making express train speed would be OBJ
waited, to the great saving of life and
property, and the material reduction of
the earnings of the coroner.
These things could be done by the
Rapid Transit company doing business
in and between the cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and still the company would
make more than fair return upon the
capital invested
Along with other matters needing at
tention, there should be some effective
method of ascertaining the number Of
cars actually in use by the traction COM
pany, and the tax collected upon that
number,
The people are patient, but patience
sometimes ceases to be a virtue, and
when that time comes there will be a
demand for the things herein indicated
that cannot be resisted
If the owners OF the street car lines
are wise they will forestan the wrath of
the people by providing an adequate
service for the three-cent fare.

MARK rwAIN,s DOWNFALL.

If we may believe some newspa-
pers, Mark Twain has suffered the
most complete collapse ever known
to literary celebrity.
These keenly critical journals have
discovered that the man who was
until very recent date universally
admitted to be without a peer among
American authors in humor and sa-
tire has suddenly lost his power and
fallen into a condition that is truly
pitiable.
The foolish public, however, con-
tinues to read everything that Mark
Twain writes and has grown so used
to finding him invariably brilliant
and effective that it has not yet fully
accepted the dictum OF his cruel
critics that he is "decayed." And on
inquiry into the matter il will he
found that every one of these editors
who are endeavoring 20 brush Mark
Twain aside as utterly unworthy Of
further attention are organs and
henchmen of the administration.
They are shocked and deeply pained
because Mark Twain has committed
the treason OF condemning some
things that have been done in the
course Of our benevolent assimila-
ton of the Filipinos ~
For instance, he does not admire
