WEDNESDAY, MAR. 20,1889
During the past four years London
bas had a society of amateur geolo
gists, which studies geology on Satur
day afternoon excursions.
Birmingham (Ala.) has a black
BDake that drinks whisky. Wilmar
(Minn.)
has
a man who drinks whisky
and has "snakes in his boots."
The diacuisiou of the question
"thould frosted wheat be seeded" will
ftobably be continued until auother
frost comes and destroys this season's
orop
ot
wheat.
On* of the "turn the rascals out"
Democrats expresses his feelings
thusly:
The times are out of Joint and who can say
Whan theae disjointed times will pass awa.',
Or when we'll have another chaueo to shout,
The victory's ours, "turn the rascals out!"
Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler vigorously
objects to the assertion that forty
years
is the "ministerial dead llue."
"We have," says Mr. Cuyler, "few
t&ongh
ministers of the gospel in our
OOuntry already but if this inexor
able
dead line of forty is going to
•helve
the
a large portion of those now in
field, we shall soon have a famine
of the gospel that will make a jubilee
in hell
Senator Washburn, in an interview,
•ays: "Considering the futile asser
tion of captious critics that Mr. Win
dom is not a Minnesota man, it is
wonderful to see the number ot appli
cations of office-seekers from Minne
sota who sign themselves 'your old
friend.' Senator Davis and myself
will act with Mr. Wludom in trying
to do justice to all who are claiming
the fruits of the victory."
Eight bogus insurance companies
have recently been discovered to be
doing business in this state, without
license. And this, too, in St. Paul,
right uuder the nose of the insurance
commissioner. One of these bogus
concerns has its "home office" at
Portland, Oregon, and one at Evans
Yille, Indiana. There are six others,
names not given, but are all of the
Wild cat order, and the policies written
up by them are not worth the paper
they are written on. So say the city
papers.
Speaking of extending the terms of
our county officers, the Mankato Free
Press say9: "There Is little excuse or
Heed of having a cleaning out of
Officials every year. It is
yery
ex­
ceptional that a bad" man lias' Been
elected to office in this county, and
four years is not too long for a term
of an honest, competent official, while
we are satisfied that the public would^
find itsef better served an(.LilaJ&jSTue'gs
ai^iafoetonly transacted by of
ficials who are not kept on the verge
of uncertainty by the rapid approach
Of the biennial election."
Senator Durant has introduced a
bill into the senate to improve the
civil service of the state. It provides
that the governor shall appoint three
Commissioners, who shall serve one,
two and three years respectively, from
July 1,1889. The commissioners are
to prepare rules not inconsistent with
existing laws for the selection of
persons to fill offices in the govern
ment of the state. These rules must
have the governor's approval. No
person using liquor shall hold an
offioe under the state, aari no.. PY?#ey
to be used for political purposes shall
be solicited from state employes.
Benson Monitor: The bill now before
the legislature fixing tlie terms of county
officers at four years is a measure that
tihould receive the unanimous support of
every member of that body. By this
"bill one-half of the county officers are
clected every two years, thus leaving
one-half of the old officers installed so
as not to have an entire set of inexpe
rienced men elected at one time, a state
6f affairs that usually works detrimen
tal to any county. We are of the opin
ion that the people will be better served
flnd the officers will become far more ef
icient by changing the terms as is pro
Tided for in the above mentioned bitl.
The St. Paul Globe says that Red
field Proctor, the new secretary of
war, never served in the army and
Cannot tell the difference between an
Infield rifle and a twelve pound
howitzer. This shows how ignorant
flbe Globe is. Secretary Proctor en
listed as a private in 1861 and was
made quartermaster ot the 3d Ver
mont regiment with rank of lieuten
fcnt. He was recommended for pro
motion by General McCiellan for his
Work at Lewisville, Va., and was
Biade major of the 5th Vermont regi
yient and later was colonel of the 15th
Vermont regiment. This shows how
well informed the Globe is on public
men.
Mr. Windom is the oldest member
if the new cabinet, being very nearly
years of age. Mr. Miller is the
youngest member, not having reaehed
Ilia 48th year. Mr. Blaine and Mr.
Busk are about the same age, 59. Mr.
Prootor is 58 and Mr.Tracey 60. Next
in order to Mr. Miller, the youngest
Snan in the cabinet is Mr. Wanna
Saaker, who is not quite 51. The
#verage age of the members of Presi
dent Harrison's cabinet is 57 years,
^fhe oldest man who ever entered the
Cabinet was Lewis Cass, who became
Buchanan's secretary of state at 75.
Alexander Hamilton was the young
est of all cabinet officers.
It will be remembered that Queen Vic
tpria was anxious to bring about the mar
JSage of her grand daughter, Princess
•Victoria, sister of the present emperor
Of Germany, to Prince Alexander of Bat
tenburg in fact, it is said that they were
ibgaged to be married that Bismarck
©jpposed the marriage and succeeded in
breaking the engagement. Now, then,
Prince Alexander j?ets on his^ear jtnd
goes off and marries Mile. Leisinger, at
tme time a favorite Tyrolese singer and
daughter of a woman who keeps a Iboard-
IiQuge. This tickles old Bismarck* I
but makeli Queen Victoria decidedly mad,
because, you see, her daughter Beatrice,
•tfho married Prince Alexander's brother
Henry, becomcs a sister-in-law to Prince
Alexander's peasant wife, whose mother
is a hash slinger at J*resbiirg. Here's a
fix" for royalty, sure enough.
Here is what a Washington correspon
dent of the NewYork World says of Mrs.
President Harrison: She is a true woman,
a cultured lady, a thorough American,
and she is proud of it and America will
be proud of her. I wish I could show
the little woman to the public—as I saw
her forty eight hours before she was
made mistress of the White House. "I
am glad for the party's sake we won,"
she said with a little smile, and I feel
the honor and am proud of it but think,"
the wife and mother-part coming to the
surface, "we had such a quiet, happy
home, and now this makes a break—
things can never be the same agaia. My
husband is not mine first of all, now,
but his countiy's. And then, just think,"
she said with a cheery laugh to dispel
the effect of her
Bad
words, "I am giv­
ing up nine bedrooms at home for five
in the White House
A Norwich (Conn.) correspondent of
the New York Sun says that Eastern
Connecticut is overrun with skunks this
spring and that skunk hunters are bag
ging immense numbers of these savory
animals. The pelt of the skunk is valu
able to make into American sable, by a
process that only the Russians had the
courage to discover, and which, after the
method—that of addition, extraction
and silence—has been applied, is shipped
back to America, cut up into strips, and
sold to ladies, with which to fringe their
cloaks, muffs and necks. It is very fash
ionable. The oil is good for rheumatism,
croup and the ear-ache. In about every
old fashioned house in New England a
vial of yellow, sticky oil may be found
in the fall and winter, tied by a twine
string about its neck to a nail over the
fire place. It is skunk's oil. The oil is
rich creamy, balmy and emollient. Rheu
matism and croup fly before it. Often
the approach of it, long before it has
come within easy range, will bring a
croupy child to his senses.

AlbertLea Standard: The managers
ofth9Btate normal schools, and their
Ibcal beneficiaries are, as usual, de
manding of the legislature big appro
priations, and in conjunction with
the inanagera-©f,tfee otneFstate insti
-tutfons, they will undoubtedly, as
usual, combine their influences, and
dictate to the legislative that their
extortionate demands be granted.
The normal schools as local educa
tional institutions are well enough
but otherwise they are great humbugs
and outrageous impositions on the
tax-payers. It would be a blessing
to the state if they oould be donated
altogether to the respective ambitious
cities in which they are located, and
one-quarter of their aunual cost dis
tributed amopg the various state high
schools, which exist In nearly every
county. It is remarkable that among
the well-posted and level-headed
members of the legislature there is
not one to rise up aud protest against
and resist with all his might the
'feuomnnrs* subsidies that are being
demanded and absorbed by these local
so-called normal school.
It is inhuman to confine human
beings within the walls ot our prisons
and keep them there for years with
out allowing them to work. As i
has often been said, it should be the
aim of the state to reform and make
better men of its criminals, and not
torment them, so that when they
leave the prison they do so with a
feeling that they will have revenge
for having been deprived of their lib
erty. Report comes from the prison
at Sing Sing, N. Y., that the inmates
who have been confined there for a
few years without labor, are becoming
insane at a fearful rate. Only a few
days since three yoifng man, one 19,
one 22 and one 24 years of age, become
violently insane and were taken to
the asylum for the insane at Auburn.
Principal Keeper Connaughton says
that men are going insane owing to
their having no work. "I trust," he
says, "that the legislature will do
something very soon for the convicts
If they don't we will be kept busy all
summer sending insane prisoners to
the assylum." This should indeed
serve as a warning to Minnesota Jaw
makers.
John W. Shull, in an" article on "Fatth
and Providence," which appears in the
March number of the Phrenological
Journal, very truly says: "Children,
youth, men and women, in the prime of
life, or in old age, sicken and die, and
ministers impress us with the straage
ness and inscrutability of the ways of
Prpvidence. We are given life, and the
blessings of health and happiness, we
know not why, but on conditions whose
fulfillment is wholly a matter of choice.
Failing fulfillment, pain, sickness, and
death ensue. Nor are we left to ehance
in choosing, for intellect discerns the
laws of life and health with as great cer
tainty as it does the laws of the inorgan-'
ic world. If reason demonstrates tho
falsity of a belief in 'Providence,' it is
degrading to the Christian profession to
believe in it, and Christian ministers
should be first to enlighten the minds of
the laity. The sooner we shall divorce
ourselves from prejudice, and from er
ror, venerable with age, and sanctioned
by monkish or scholastic names, the
sooner we shall be free to consider 'the
ways of God to man,' and receive the
blessings of worthy service rendered in
telligently, in accordance with His laws,
and not in blindness of ignorance and
superstition."
Building Association Houses.
With the rapid spread of building
demand tor
associations there is a
designs of houses, for the most part
inexpensive in character, which can
be built for the sum representing their
nominal cost. In order to meet thri
want, Carpentry aud Building (Nev
York) a short time since aunouxiced
two competitions in house de^i^ns,
which were designated as its "Build
ing Assoolatlon Competitions." Oiu
of these was for houses coptlng $1000,
and the other for houses costing $2000.
Liberal cash prizes were offered, and
the contests were extensively adver
tised, with the result that a very
large response was received, many of
the studies coming from architects of
standing and experience, who ordin
arily find no opportunity to give at
tention to cheap work, but who were
attracted this case by the chance
of a fat fee for comparatively e-.isy
work. The designs are accompanied
by ftpeoifioatious of construction aud
detailed estimate of cost. Two of the
studies of $1000 houses are presented
In the Maroh number of the periodi
cal named, and the announcement is
made that others will follow, of both
classes, month by month, for some
time to come. This enterprise upon
the part of the leading building
journal of the country is something
in which every one who is contem
plating building a home for himself
will feel an interest. In other parts ot
the journal more expensive houses
are shown, a* well also as various
details and conveniences which go to
make up the comforts of a modern
residenoe. Published monthly at 6G
and 68 Duaue street, New York, at $1

Working Women.
One of the last acts of the late con
gress was to authorize tho publication
of the fourth annual report of the
commissioner of labor, which is de
voted entirely to the condition of the
working women In the United States.
The work for this report has been
performed mostly by two women
under the supervision of Mr. Carroll
D. Wright, commissioner ot labor.
They have visited between 17,000 and
18,000 working women, in their homes
as well as in the shops while at work.
The cities visited were the representa
tive cities of the whole country. They
found that a great advance had trans
pired in the condition of working
women during the last fifteen years.
Among other things, the following is
stated in a lengthy report to Commis
sioner Wright:
Where there were formerly but 25
occupations open to women, there are
now about 400 in which money may
be earned. I find that many of them
go to work at fourteen, live well, dress
well aud sometimes save. Families
in which there are many daughters
live very nicely off the aggregate in
come, very often, especially among
foreigners, owning the house in which
e y i v e e y i n v e s s a v i n s
in a variety ways in different
placegr' Xn St. Paul they buy lots and
J^roulate a little in real estate in
Indianapolis they invest in the build
ing and loan association, and in Bos
ton put their funds in the savings
banks. As regards their moral con
dition it compares very favorably
with that of women in other walks of
life, and considering their exposures
and temptations, I should call it
better. They are a heroic band, con
stantly exhibiting evidence ©f brave
endurance, unparalleled devotion,
and patient self-sacrifice, and the
only difficulty with them is that they
do not know their own value and can
not lay aside personal considerations
for the sake of the wellfare of the
masses.
Deafness Can't Be Cured
By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumbl
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but au in
flamed condition of the mucus sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that we can not cure by tak
ing Hall's Catarrh Cure. Seud for

A Word for the Criminal.
If people who are favored by circum
stances of birth in possessing good or
ganizations. exhibit irregularity of moral
conduct, we should be considerate with
regard to many of those born in relations
that impress an unfortunate type of or
ganization, although we may not grant
so much respect to heredity as some of
our writers. A close observer of the
vicious and criminal class justly says:
"We must not forget that the great mass
of the human race stands near the line
where animal impulses dominate intel
lect and moral will, and that education
alone—in the highest sense of the term
—will determine whether they shall be
most animals or angels, and also (an
affair of much deeper importance) which
kind they will transmit to posterity. To
prove that an habitual inclination to
crime is the outcome of anatomical de
formity, or of pathogenesis, would by no
means imply an irresponsibility for
criminals it would only make clear-the
nature of the physical perversion, and
afford the only direct method by which
the extent of the responsibility could be
approximately estimated. It would put
us on the road to ascertain how far and
by what means regeneration could be ef
fected, and how the responsibility could
be augmented by an intelligent and'per
sistent treatment or education of the
moral will.
Instead «f licensing crime because it
resulted from disease, science would
urge and devise much more vigorous
measures to protect society, and to pro
tect it by such ways as would also prol
tectand humanize criminals. Prisons,'
which brand the beings they confine
with social annihilation, and which ut
terly crush all self-respect—without
which last all men are brutes—would for
a moment stand forth in all their hideous
reality, and then pass into history as the
well-intentioned but crude and misdi
rected device of a primitive age, to com
mand law and order a savage relic that
forever disappeared before the holy light
and warmth of humanity as it came into
the world hand in hand with science.
Criminals, instead of being subjected to
a vindictive retaliation, and returned to
the world more dangerous beings than
ever, would bo cared for, educated, and,
|f necessary, kept for life under the eye
of protectors instead of being outcasts,
their si'lf-respect would be continually
appealed to and strengthened. In a
rightly-eonduetcd state of affairs, with
every able-bodied person whom the state
found necessary to put under otllcial re
straint and treatment, an important part
of tlio treatment would be regular, pro
ductive occupation, tho income from
which would bo ample not only to de
fray state expenses, but to give also a
surplus to be employed in some way to
the advantage of the person."

BIRTH OF NEW PLANT SPECIES.—
The plants recently collected from
Christmas Island by tho English ad
miralty prove to be closely allied to
those of J.»va. Yet their isolation has
had the effect of making them mostly
unlike their Java congeiiers, though
not sufficiently different to be specific
ally distinguished. In this gradual
alteration Mr. W. T. Thiseltou Dyer
sees "a manifest cas4 of nascent
species."

A Land Office Decision.
We have received the following from
Judge Husevold, postmaster at Cyrus:
U. S. LAND OFFICE,
BENSON, Feb. 23,1889.
K. J. HUSEVOLD, Esq.—Sir:—Commis
sioner's letter of Feb. 15,1889, affirms
the decision of this office, rejecting the
application which was made by you as
agent for Lorens Berg to the' following
land: NWJ Sec. 3, T. 124, R.44, and oth
ers unnecessary to mention here. The
lands described are within the 20-mile
indemnity land of the St. Paul, M. & M.
railroad company, and at the date of the
withdrawal at this office vacant, unap
propriated and unreserved. Tliey were
selected on account of the grant of Oct.
22, 1887, and Oct. 16,1883, and were not
subject to disposal under the public land
law, at the date of said application. You
have about 60 days from this date to ap
peal froiri this decision to the Hon. Sec
retary of the Interior.
Very respectfully,
C. F. WILKINS, Register.
Parties interested in this class of lands
must appeal ia order to get their claims
before the seceretary of the interior in
proper shape, as the land laws will soon
be changed, in my opinion. The com
missioner could not otherwise act under
the present law, but wisely gives notice
that applicants must appeal within sixty
days. This leaves the matter still open
for settlers until a change is made in said
land law. You think that the Manitoba
railroad will fight for the land, but I do
not, as it is a settled fact that the rail
road company has overdrawn lands un
der the legal charter made by the gov
ernment. You say that an application
is worthless, but I did not find it so in
my case, as an application for homestead
had been made .on my farm for over 12
years before I moved on to it hence it
was a hard job to have it cancelled, and
had to secure satisfactory proof to do so.
In addition they wanted me to show an
assignment from the former applicant,
as proof why the applicant did not re
side on the land. You say go and squat
on the land and when it comes into the
market then apply for it. That is one
way, but I have taken the counsel of the
best land office attorneys at Washington
and they say apply for the land and as
long as the government can't give you a
title you are not necessarily bound
to move on to it until the land ques
tion is fully settled hence I hold that
if a man squats on a piece of land
where there is no application on file, he
will be all right, but an application
should be made so as to get your inten
tion properly before the department.
Respectfully yours,
