If a man lias a leg broken he soon
knows all the broken-legged lueu in
the state.
A good church and a live minister,
a progressive school and a wise teacher,
a newsy paper and a sensible editor
are three essentials to a thriving com
munity.
"The Surprise''of Detroit ought to
be better supported by the merchants
and advertisers of the place. It is a
paper's bounden duty to do its best
lora town, but it is also a towns duty
to do its best for a paper.
It is shrewdly suggested that one
reason why farms do not pay their
owners is that the farm does not owe
them anything. There are no better
investments for farmers than those
made in the farm itself.
We are not acquainted with the
gentlemen who have started another
paper in Ortonville—The headlight—
and can not speak positively but we
think there is a soft spot in their heads
somewhere. As there are two papers
there before them, they have gone to
work with an ambition to starve to
death themselves or starve somebody
else to death neither of which is vory
commendable for men in the full en
joyment of reason.
"We see many preparations of which
the chief virtue is supposed to be that
they contain all the digestive princi
ples. These can be active only so far
as they contain pepsin, and have no
advantage over the simple drug.
It has also been shown that certain
substances combined with pepsin in
solution, render it inert. Alcohol is
one and even in moderation dimin
ishes its action, while in auy quantity,
the activity of pepsin is totally pre
vented. This is a point often lost
sight of, and serves as a hint concern
ing the use of liquors at meals, by
dyspeptics."—J/ed and Surg. Hep.
The judicious and tasteful planting
of fruit and ornamhutal trees enhan
ces the value of real estate more than
an equal amount of money invested
in auy other way. It is not necessary
to-liave a large extent of idle laud in
lawn or dooryard, or expensive drives
and fancy walks, in order to give a
place an attractive appearance. A
plain neat yard, with a few trees and
shrubs well selected and judiciously
planted about the grounds, and prop
erly kept, would often change the ap
pearance of many a place from a ne
glected wilderness to that of a thrifty,
comfortable home.
Correspondence in Gracevilie Trans
rript: Don't straggle awajr to the out
skirts of civilization for the purpose of
obtaining "cheap land" for it is often
dear in the eud. Suppose you raise
the same amount of—we will say
wheat—upon the $15 farm near market
it would bring ninety cents a bushel.
On a s-3 farm far away it would have
to be sold for sixty to eighty cents—
twenty bushels to the acre—on SO
acres would be 1600 bushels, the differ
ence iu cash received on the two
farms would be $400, or nearly if not
quite enough to pay one-third of the
purchase money of the higher priced
farm and the interest on it. If you

In explaining his vote on the Mor
rison tariff bill Hon. Knute Nelson
very sensibly said:
I believe in a reduction of the tariff,
and I believe a majority of the people
in my district are in favor of a reason
able reduction. I feel that the people
of the "West are entitled to a reason
able and equitable reduction of the
tariff, and that it is a great outrage to
have a system of tariff which leaves a
surplus of $150,000,000 in the treasury
every year." Our present high tariff
was an incident to our great war debt
and our extensive pension list, and
now that our national debt and ex
penses are reduced, and we have a
surplus in the treasury, there is every
reason in the world why taxation
should be reduced.
I
would not vote
to strike out the enacting clause of
the bill, for the reason that it might
cut off all opportunity to vote for any
tariff reduction. I think the vote on
the passage of the bill will be stronger
than it was to day. I know of at least
a dozen Republicans who voted as
they did under protest, because they
were persuaded it was in the interest
of the party to so vote." I was very
sorry the Republican side did not de
cide upon some kind of a tariff bill,
and have it introduced, for I should
have preferred to vote for a measure
introduced by the Republicans but
as no opportunity of "the kind was
offered, I had but one alternative, and
that was to vote to take up this bill.
I feel that the farmers and producers
of the West are entitled to some con
sideration, as well as the manufact
urers of the East."

CORRESPONDENCE.
EDITOR TKIBUNE
I wish to call the attention of Rev,
H. Johnson and other high license ad
vocates to the following address by
Mr. Talmage:
PROHIBITION.
TALMAGE ON HIGH LICENSE.
The Address.
NEW YORK, April 6.—The Rev. Dr.
Talmage addressed 4000 people to-day
on "High License or the'Monopoly of
Abomination." "We are at a point
he said, where it is proposed to restrain
liquor selling by compelling the liquor
merchants to pay a high license of
$1000. The result of high license is to
make rum selling and rum drinking
respectable by closing the low grog
geries and allowing a few gilded sa
loons to sell all the liquor. It is a
proposition to close the rash on the
body politic, and gather together all
the poison and all the pus into a few
great carbuncles. [Laughter.] High
license is the monoply of abomination.
Legalized rum selling has made the
ground of England, Ireland and
America hollpw with the catacombs
of slaughtered drunkards. High
licence is the violation of the first
principle of our Government—equal
rights. It allows one man who can
pay $500 or $1000 to sell sweetened
dynamite and denies the right to the
man who can only pay $100, or noth
ing at all. I plead for equal rights.
High license allows a few men to sell
extracts of logwood, strychine of log
wood, strychine, and blue vitriol, and
denies to others even the right to
strike a lucifer match.
IT IS NOT FAIR.
Why don't you appJy the same prin
ciple to other trades? If it is right to
sell liquor, all men should have an
equal right to deal in it. If it is wrong
then a license fee of $500 or $1000 is
Simply a bribe to the government,
but it is said that we can't get prohib
ition, and that it is better to take what
we can get. Some say half a loaf of
bread is better than no bread at all.
Yes. provided the half loaf is not
poisoned. A half pound of butter is
better than no butter at all, provided
it isn't oleomargarine, [laughter.] A
midnight express train speeds across
a bridge, one half of which has been
which has been sweept away by
storm and blood. The train rolls
over into the torrent below, and twen
ty souls are landed in eternity. Is
half a bridge better than no bridge
But it said a prohibition law can not
be executed. But there is not a law
on the statute book that is perfectly
executed. We have laws against
murder, blasphemy, and theft. Then
let us have a high license for theft.
[Laughter.] We must put down these
small thieves who make away with
door mats, postage stamps and choco
late drops. [Laughter.] Let us make
the license high—say $10,000—so that
only a lew can pay it. Then we shall
put to ilight. the wharf rats, and all
hail io the $1,000,000 rascals. If rum
selling is wrong, $5,000,000 ought not
to buy immunity. [Applause.]

N. W. Scott, after about ten years
experience, as practical printor, pub
lisher and editor of the Popo Co. Press
has soid out. He was obliged to do it
as the business had injured his health.
Lead poison seems to have got into
his blood, from the holding of type in
his mouth, a dangerous habit. His
right arm had become partially para
lyzed, from the constant practice of
typesetting. He came to Glenwood
trom the St. Cloud Normal school,
and was the first teacher in the new
brick school hoUse, built iu 1S73.
Soon to be enlarged. He succeeded
quite well. Being requested he en
tered the printing office, wholly un
acquainted with the business. The
writer gave name to tiie paper and
proofed for months. Mr. Scott has
certainly done very well every way,
considering circumstances and his ex
perience. He paid for the office and
his home. His house was burned and
lie built a better one on its ashes.
Typographical erors were not his
fault alone. They are common in
most of our papers. His locals were
good, considering they were scarce.
Some papers kick him, that would
not relish such sauce. God bless him.

EXCITEMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Irisli and \t'elsli Jlincrs Declare
Thnt the Hungarian Must Ho.
"WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 18.—The anti
Hungarian agitation continues. A fresh ar
rival of Hungarians from Castle Garden
were on the ir way across the river to King
ston, when they were warned that their lives
were in danger if they attempted to go near
the Kingston min? They then retraced
their way to this
city.
Arrangements have
been made wit\ the sheriff of the county to
have a largp
p0£se on
band on pay-day at the
mines, as= j0t js feared. The Hungarians
arc in
a
jjjgh
s
tate of excitement, and many
packing up and leaving for other places.
A red flag was displayed at Ross Hill, bear
ing
the following inscription: "Down with
the Huns, who work for 50 cents a day, and
live like hojs! White men to the rescue!"
A Hungarian sliauty was gutted at Mill
Hollow and the inmates compelled to flee for
their lives. The Hungarians are buying fire
arms in large quantities to defend them
selves.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 18.—A hostile
feeling against the Hungarians who now
throng the coal mines of Pennsylvania has
broken out in this section. In the vicinity
of Kingston there are many hundreds of
Hungarians employed in the mines as labor
er's, and the Irish and Welsh miners have
formed an organization to drive them out.
They complain that the Hungarians are
crowding them out by working for less pay
than Americans that they bribe the mine
bosses to give them work to the exclusion of
Americans. They openly assert that they
will murder all Hungarians who persist in
remaining. The disgusting habits of the
Hungarians have set all the respectable
portion of the community against them.
Should an epidemic of fever or small-pox
break out the consequences to the whole com
munity would be intensified by this filthy
people. The mob. Thursday, numbered fully
500 men and boys, and, had it been under
leadership, the result would have been fright
ful. The Hungarians replied to the attack by
firing out of the windows. Several were
wounded on both sides, but none killed.
After the riot had lasted nearly an hour, a
justice of the peace and half a dozen con
stables succeeded in securing order. On
Tuesday night a disturbance took place, and
one of the rioters was fatally stabbed by a
Hungarian. This inflamed the Irish and
Welsh miners, and they swore to have re
venge. The gravest apprehensions are felt.
The Hungarians are resolved to hold their
ground, and are arming in preparation for
the conflict.
