Circumstances of permanent removal cause me to place the further editorial management of „the Beview into the hands of its proprietors, Messrs. Brandt and Weddendorf, who will hereafter be responsible for the same. In retiring from the editorial cnair, it affords me great pleasure to state that I shall con tinue to furnish the Review with origi nal articles on travels in the West, par ticularly on the Pacific Coast, Califor nia specially, and that I will endeavor to supply interesting accounts on the social and other features of the districts visited. Thanking the readers for the appre ciated encouragement given the paper and soliciting for the future managers a continuance of the favors granted. I retire from a position, the occupation of which, although humbly hiled, has given me a warm regard for the many friends of the Review. Bidditfg them all a hearty fare-well, with wishes for their prosperity, I remain their faithful servant EMIL WESCHCKE. Among the resolutions passed by the labor organizations at Minneapolis last week, and which are to be recommen ded to the present Legislature for con sideration, is one which shall prohibit under se^ ere penalties, the «ale or gift of cigarettes or lobticco an form to boys under 16 years of age. "1 his is a step in the right direction and will prove of untold benefit to the boys, who falsely pride themselves on the attainment of manhoed when able to stand at the street corner, puffing a cigarette. There is no more disgraceful sight to the average visitor to one of our metropolitan cities, than the spec tacle of half grown urchins lounging on the street and in the gutter smoking a stub, inhaling the noxious smoke of a rotten cigarette, or swallowing the poi sonous jnice of chewing tobacco. With this evil habit in the young, inevitably goes the demoralization of character, thet^hild imitates ape-like what it thinks ma, in a street bum who kills time by wandering aimlessly about, pouting ly flourishing a cigar. Aside from the loss of character, the early indulging in the habit alluded to is accompanied by the loss of or damage to health, and it is therefore for two great reasons why a law as hereinbe fore stated, should be enacted. Another good woi for our legisla tors, and one which should be continu ally agitated by the educators of our youth, is the drafting of such a law as will forbid the printing and sale of dime novels, these blood and thunder series, which haye done much to demoralize the American boy and are the direct cause of great injury to the child and of untold sorrow to the parents. With these noxious outgrowths of civilization abolished, a great progressive step would be taken towards the reform of our street urchins and an injurious ex ample, as yet daily held up to the gaze of the innocent, abolished. Gov. Mernam has announced the following reappointments which the senate will be asked to confirm: State Librarian, W. H. H. Taylor. ^^---Superintendent Public Instruction,D. Kiehle. Director of the Institute for Defec tives, Hudson Wilson. Regents of the State University, C.K. Davis and Greenleaf Clark. A labor meeting, composed princi pally of the legislative committees of the twin cities' labor organizations, was held in Minneapolis last week for the purpose of recommending to the Legis lature the passage of such laws as will protect the workingmen from competi tion with prison labor, secure to them the prompt payment of wages and other lights. It will doubtless be a surprise to many to learn that a Mormon settlement ex ists in this state. Ifc is located on a beautiful tract of land between Lake Clithual and Battle Lake, two of the handsomest lakes in the state. This branch is under the leadership of Pro phet Seer and Revelator Chancey Whit ney. The electoral colleges of the different States met at their respective capitols and cast their votes for President and Vice President last Monday, thus for. mally verifying the results before an nounced, **•#&• _~ A Woman's Discovery. I "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years the withstood its severe tests, but herbottle vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write W. 0. & Co., of Shelbv, N. C—Get a free trial bottle at C. L. Roos Drug Store,. 2 Church and State. But recently Congress has had under discussion the Blair Educational Bill, a proposition which has caused wide spread attention throughout the coun try, which on the face of it seems but of secondary importance, yet in reality threatens an alteration of the Consti tution of the U. S. directly in opposition to the aims and wise wishes of the foun ders of this great republic. 3 The Blair Bill provides for an amend ment which shall force each state of the Union to an establishment of a system of free public schools adequate for the education of all the children living therein, between the ages of six and six teen years inclusive, in the common branches of knowledge, and in virtue, morality and the principles of theI Christian religion. This in the main is the scope of the amendment, laudable in all respects, save in the last instance, referring to the teaching of "Christian religion." For holding this one clause the bill is to be attacked and deserves an amendment which shall expunge the former. The Constitution provides a total sep aration between the state and religion, provides therefore not for instruction in religious subjects, and gives conse quently equal rights to all sects, to all denominations. Apparently then the Constitution of the U. S. was drafted by free men for a free people, the laws re corded were bioad in their meaning, granting exercitations of the free will of the people as long as their actions were moral. The dark days of theWorsteds Spanish Inquisition were apparently remembevbd in the glorious indepen. dence days of our republic as a nearly extinguished shadow of a never to be revived past, and the pen that wrote the words of the Constitution wrote in a better cause than did the quill of the veiled inperator centuries ago. In the founding of the Constitution our fore fathers manifested a spirit of indomi table independence, perpetuated them selves as liberal freemen, and as a re mit of their counsels the U. S. of Amer ica have prospered most gloriously. And now in this enlightened period of our history there rises a man. narrow minded and prejudiced, who asks our counselors at the nation's capitol ^to amend that Constitution in such a man ner as shall stamp it more unjust than the dictates of an absolute ruler. If the Blair Bill becomes a law that broad distinction which has hitherto stood between State and Church is nul lified. The bill, if made alaw^would necessarily create religious strife, for Protestant as well as Catholic would claim prior distinction in advocating the Christian religion, the religion of Christ. It would necessitate high coun cil to determine who was right, it would give into the hands of one, the power to control all. And as a consequence a rule of tyranny would be established. For the sake of our country, for the sake of not only religious freedom but ©f liberty in all respects, the Blair Bill must be condemned to a pronounced defeat. And the originator of the bill deserves political death hereafter. The legislature, which has been in session for over a week, so far has transacted veiy little business of impor tance and probably will not until the senatorial question is settled. Of the bills presented only two are of a more important character, the Australian election bill, introduced by Representa tive Keys, of Winona, and the corpora tion fee bill, presented by Representa tive H. F. Stevens, of Ramsey. The first mentioned bill is of great impor* tance and will undoubtedly receive a close investigation at the hands of our law makers. The system, which is practiced in different localities, is a simple one and preventive of fraud, yet necessitates certain steps at elections which may in convenience at smaller polls. We shall discuss the matter at a later date. Following the example of. other na tions, the United States has turned its attention lo the construction of torpedo boats. At Br stol, R. I., one is being built from hich the government hopes much the i»veni of military emergen cies. It ill be 138 feet long and with a draft of les- than four feet. A speed of 23 knots an hour is expected. The armament will consist of what are called "eight automobile tubes," he sides two six pound guns. No one can doubt that this class of vessels is bound to take a prominent part in future naval operations in time of war. The govern ments of the old world are rapidly add ing torpedo boats to their navies. ill Wm. M. Bushnell is chosen president of the State Agricultural Society. •& *58*§i —4 The Verdict Unanimous. W.
