The Merata-Review. E. C. KILEY, Editor. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. A banker’s interest in his fellow-man is a note-worthy matter. Women usually look on the bright side of things—especially mirrors. Virtue is still its own reward, and mankind punished by its sins—not for them. A man wouldn't be able to recognize himself if he were what a woman thinks he is. Charity should begin at home, but judging by the way relatives talk about each other it very seldom does. There can never be any legitimate union between church and state, but no state can long exist without relig- ion. There is one fine thing in connection with the Lawton fund. The New York yellows are in no manner responsible for its plumpness. Racks and thumb screws were used to torture people in ancient times, but in this age of enlightenment nothing remains but the camel-hair undergar- ment. A large part of mankind makes its living by pulling down the institu- built by men who try to build the centuries. To which division do you belong? Every man’s heart is connected with heaven by wireless telegraphy. The stings of remorse mean that God is “calling up” the operator. Blessed are they that understand the wonderful code, for when the heart beats with remorse they will answer asking for forgiveness with the promise to do better. Gen. Buller promised to eat his Christmas dinner in Pretoria, and has been well ridiculed for his rash speech. It may be recalled that in 1793, refer- ring to the war between England and France, William Pitt, one of the great- est of statesmen, confidently $ “This will be a short war. [t will cer- tainly end in one or two eampaigns.” Yet it practically lasted twenty-two years. Gen. Buller has erred. in dis- tinguished company. sai Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire ad- vocate of poverty as a “good thing’— for others—has lost. still one more of his old associates, F. T. F. Lovejoy, who has renounced the Carnegie Steel company and all its works. This gentleman is the third prominent in- dividual who has left the management of that concern within a short time. The long-headed Scotchman’s succeess in piling up dollars has been wonder- ful, but it seems to be fully counter- balanced by his knack of losing his most valuable helpers. About ten years ago a young widow with three children went to New York, seeking employment. The eldest child, a boy of 15, had been before the mast, and his boyish boast of the different knots he could tie inspired an inven- tive woman to order of him a screen of tied rope. The effect was so odd and beautiful that a paying industry in ropework resuited. By the combined efforts of the family, one daughter has been enabled to study art in Paris, the other has lately graduated from Cor-) nell, and the boy is a civil engineer of much promise in the government serv- ice. “My resources are what we our- selves can do,” said Frederick the Great to his discouraged generals. The dictum is no less applicable to each inquirer today. A curious explanation of the method by which longleaf pine seedlings pro- tect themselves against forest fires is given by Gifford Pinchet, forester of the department of agriculture. In or- der to strengthen the struggle for existence of the young tree nature gives it a thickness of bark not un- commonly as great as that of the wood itself, but the young trees have a further device for the promotion of their safety when growing in long grass, as they almost always do. In the first four or five years of its growth the longleaf seedling seldom reaches a height of more than four or five inches above the ground. But while the stem is thus making leisurely prog- ress the long needles shoot up and bend over in a green cascade, which falls to the ground in a circle about the seedling. This barrier of green needles not only burns with difficulty, but shades out the grass around the young stem, and so prepares a double fire-resisting shield about the vitals of the young tree. This is the reason why fire, which has kept down the growth of evergreen oaks in parts of Florida, for example, has made a pure forest of pines in a region where oaks thrive splendidly when they are so pieced as to be beyond the influence of forest fires, Complaints of the chronicles of hor- rors with which the press, or a part of it, teems in this day and land, are per- haps well founded, but they are not new. In one of the earliest American papers, printed before Franklin began his editorial career, an apology for lack of good news was based on the ground that the English prints were ‘generally stufft with Robberies, Cheats, Fires, Murders, Bankruptcies, Promotions of Some and Hanging of Others.” This was a century and three-quarters ago. if we are no better than in those days, qwe are assuredly 20 worse © ESUME ¢ the NEW Washington, Tre Hague peace treaty has been ratified by the senate.

Late last evening it was gen- erally decided by the senate officers to make out the warrants for the arrest of absent Democratic senators with- out waiting for the arrival of Lieut. Goy. Marsball and Howerd and Cecil were given ihe warrants. Where the two ,will go is not known here as no. tickets were purchased ard they would not tell. ‘The significant remark was made that something would be heard to-morrow. The following message from Gov. Taylor was received early in the day by a member of the legislature: “Have warrants issuec for members of the house and put in the hands of sergeant-at-arms to serve.” The warrants were inade out late yesterday and given to Sergeant-at- Arms Cecil of the house. The morning sessions were quiet, but it was appar- ent the legislators were laboring un- der some excitement. The message from Goy. Taylor re garding the issuing of the warrants was received just before the house met. The information was passed quietly to members and an air of sup- pressed excitement became apparent. The intention of Gov. Taylor was evi- dent. “We mean business. We have a quorum in the house and a quorum in the senate. We will be ready for business on Monday. Further than that I have nothing to say,” said a member. DECISION FINALLY Authority Says Gov. Will Sign, Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 11.—Goy. Tay lor did not sign the Louisville peace agreement yesterday., He announced moreover that he had no intention of doing so for some time and did not know whether he would sign it at all. On the other hand the Democrats were confident that he would affix his signa- ture to the document. On the morning train from Louisville came the Repub- lican attorney, David W. and Judge John W. Barr, boih whom were members of the Louisville conference on the Republican side. Immediately on a al Mr. Fairleigh called upon Senator Blackburn at the Capitol hotel, and after a few words with him went, in company with Judge rr and Gen. Daniel Lindsay to the p of Gov. Taylor. A conference $s held there from 11 o'clock until 1, when an adjournment was taken. Later in the afternoon the conference was resumed and lasted until after 5 o'clock. It was impossible to learn the result of the protracted debate. Late last night the situation was ‘somewhat changed. Adjt. Gen. Collier s again called into Gov. Taylor's of- fice about 8 o’clock and was in con- sutation with him until a late hour but would say nothing as to what transpired. From other and authori- tative sources, however, it was learned that a decision had finally been ar- rived at, and that the peace agreement probably would receive the signature of Gov. Taylor iuside of twenty-four hours. When the statement rade by Gov. Taylor to the Associated Press was taken to the couneil of Den ocrats who were in the capital waiting for word from him, the following statement was made by one of the most prominent Democrats in the state, who said that he did not wish his name used as it might embarrass those who were try- ing to induce Goy. Taylor to sign: “I say he will sign, and he will sign with- in two hours. This is positive.” Democrats Will Be Protected From Arrest. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 11—The Demo cratic legislature met here yesterday, having present in each house a quorum of the total membership. Gov. Beck- ham announced that he is prepared to protect the legislature from arrest and that he will do so. The developments of the day mark the first steps toward carrying out the plans announced Sun- day last by the Democrats to set up.a state government that have been tek- en since those plans were interrupted since the peace negotiations. Some commotion was caused among the leg- islat by reports from London and Fraykfort that warrants were about to be orn out for enough Democrats to make a quorum of the Republican legislature now meeting at London. When told of it Gov. Peckham said: “No member of the legislature who comes to Louisville need fear arrest. I shall not allow any member to be ar- rested.” On the Assassin's Track. Yrankfort, Ky., Feb. 11. — The au- thorities expect to obtain important evidence regarding the assassin of Goy. Goebel from Silas. Jones, who was arrested yesterday morning. Jones has already made a partial confession. He declares that he personally knows nothing of the crime, but says that Harlan Whittaker, who was arrested immediately after the shooting while running from the executive building, from which the shots were fired, knows a great deal about the crime. It is believed that Jones gave more in- formation than that regarding Whit- Mea and that what he told the police y lead to further arrests in the felghborhood. of Richmond, Madison county. REACHED. Good Taylor M'KINLEY ON HORSEBACK. He Will Lead the Last Grand Parade of Veterans.

Shaw, of the G. A. R., has appointed him as an aid-de-camp on his staff, and among others he will receive the regular official order to ap- pear in the big parade of the Grand Army to be held during the national encampment in Chicago next summer. Of course the organization will have its regular annual encampments after this one, but there is a feeling that next summer's event will be the last really great and notable one. The president is a member of the organiza- tion, and will be the guest of Chicago during the entire week, and the goy- ernors of several states will be here.
