this as a piece of cheap political clap
trap? They must advance or retreat.
They must prove their sincerity or
confess themselves perjured. They
must use the power that the supreme
court has given to them or forfeit it
ANONYMOUSLY. On the one hand they
must attack and rend to pieces all the
great industries of the country, good
and bad together, or, on the other hand,
they must admit themselves utterly
dishonest. They must confess that this
action was brought for private and
sinister purpose, and that they will use
the machinery of justice and the high
est courts as it may chance to please
their whim to punish an enemy or to
protect a friend. We challenge them on
this issue, and dare them to go before

Minnesota does not intend to lose
its reputation as "a bread and butter
state, for if the present plans are put
into effect thirty7five new creameries
will be established in the state during
the coming season. That will give the
North Star state total of $50 with an
annual output aof 7O,000,OO0 pounds of
butter. If tRfs amount Of butter was

The BEAUTIFUL SPRING.

We are now happily assured by the
calendar Of the arrival of spring.
At exactly $50, Sunday evening,
March 20, the vernal equinox occurred
and, your powers of observation to the
contrary Notwithstanding, the sun
crossed the line ushering in the glad
some days when a young mans fancy
lightly turns to the thoughts Of love
and the elderly party sees to it that
his goloshes are put in repair. Accord
ing to the sages the air is balmy, life
is budding in the vegetable world, the
little birds are twittering of their love
affairs, all nature is smiling and the
hail insurance man is giving the glad
hand of fellowship to the husbandman.
Science and the poets assure us that
we have but to look about us and be
glad. {
AS mere humans we do not go all the
way along with the poets and sages.
There was that underfoot and overhead
yesterday which might cause the most
credulous Of men to doubt the singers
and scientists. The only birds in sight
were snowbirds and they were too busy
foraging to twitter except in protest
against the conditions that delayed
them in the South. The arctic owl
hooted his disdain of spring announce
ments. The budding vegetation was
doing fairly well in lighthouses, but
spring poets local to this section had
cold feet.
Yet that hope which springs eternal
in the human soul bade US brace up.
For some springs past we have been
afforded the same evidence that things
are not as they seem. There may be a
foot of sIush undertook and a mile of
snow-burdened clouds overhead, but
we know that somewhere under the
slush there is asphalt and under the
