An effort is being made in Canada
to merge the Presbyterian, Methodist
and Congregations churches, and
the proposition will be voted upon at
the annual conference of the respective
denominations. Whether the views
of one Samuel Van SAINT have been
obtained upon this important ques-
ton we have been unable to ascertain.

Governor John is Cunning.

Gov. Johnson is in favor of 2-cent
mile rate and in his message to the
legislature he will recommend the
passage of such a law. OF course he
will! The legislature is a republican
body and the gentleman's idea is to
force a measure upon it's members
that he or his party would not dare
to undertake. He and his party
would be gamers in the passage of a
measure of this kind. He and his ad-
visers are cunning enough to know
this. While the 2-cent rate would be
a good thing, yet the act would be
fraught with great danger of reduc-
ton in wages, causing no end of
trouble. A proposition of reduction
would never be mentioned if the Min
nesota legislature was democratic.

What objects do young men have in
going to college? They have two OBJ

other is to become proficient in the
hazing of freshmen, some of whom
occasionally die therefrom. The
same is true of military schools.

part OF our religion to deal Justly
with all men and to give every man
the credit that is due him. We there
fore give Mr.. Hill credit for his sound
theory on methods of farming. His
statements in a recent number of the
Princeton U o are correct. And
now the question is. will farmers fol-
low his advice or will they continue
in the same old rut of farming by
halves?

The meteorological predictions in

pers two or three days after the

Wild geese were seen flying over
North Dakota on March I'd. They
must be a winter variety and perhaps
related to the snow birds which are
often seen flying just before a snow
storm.
Wolves and coyotes must be numer-
Gus in portions of Montana, as one
county has paid over $4,000 in boun-
ties within year. We don't fear
any harm from coyotes, but Montana
is welcome to the wolves, as we do
