Was not the outcome of a sudden quarrel Oir wi outburst of passion. It was the of a cold, determined and devilish Conspiracy, and every additional day's - delay in bringing the assassins to ac­ count, heightens the general horror of rthe affair. That such a crime can be committed in Chicago and the perpetrat­ ors go free can hardly be possible. The murderer* must be caught or the police authorities confess their incapacity for tfee offices they hold. IMinnesotians are happy ores' the prospect of good crops. Specials report cold rains all over the northern and central portions of the State. The chinch bugs, wherever they were get- ting active, seemed to have been chilled to death or drowned. A plaster of mud has been formed over the ground re­ cently plowed to kill the grasshoppers in Otter Tail country, and the pests are sealed up and will probadly die without showing a head above ground. The farmers claim there is water enough in the ground last for si? weeks or two months. The crops everywhere are in fine shape, and promise a grand harvest if there is no bad lock from rammer frosts.

Ŝ ' • . IflPAnother specimen of Arkansas pol­ itics has cropped out at Forest City in said state, over an election for school di­ rectors. Shooting commenced, as a mat­ ter of course, and four men dropped, as the opposition were • trying to elect a couple of Republicans orfueionists, which is the same thing to an Arkansas Demo­ crat as " nigger rule." Republicanism in that benighted region is something to be stamped out. They pretended to make tome sort of investigation into the assas- Bination, of Clayton, and after running a little while dropped it. We e this will end in the same way. hite Republicans and one colored editor of a newspaper, were sacri- to "white rule." No wonder emi­ grants keep away from such a State as that. IW* Lovers of the grotesque will find rare entertainment in the recital of the scenes of the first Sunday in Guthrie. Old Si," Chief of Police, cajoling the gamblers with Chesterfieldian courtesy into closing their tents for at least a part of the day and enlisting recruits for church choirs and Sunday-school teachers among the outcasts of the mushroom town, is a character worthy of a place in Bret Harfce's best pages. The common native for the official campaign against vice and for the religious fervor of the opening services of prayer and song was ft prudent forecast for the fortunes of the town. A quiet, respectable Sunday, as was generally recognized, would be "a big boom" for Guthrie, and so the chief constable, the gamblers and the lay preachers combined their forces for the temporary regeneration of the town. Northern men are leavening the doll Old South with progress. The men of the Army of the Cumberland «'»" re­ member no sleepier, 'slower village than Florence, Ala. L npainted houses, wood­ piles in front of the doors, unpaved, un­ lettered streets covered with rank dog- fennel to the rutty track in the center, no sidewalks anywhere, and the princi­ pal industry of the men chewing tobacco, talking politics and sampling inintjuleps This was a picture of the town "afo' de wall." Now it is having a boom of the most pronounced variety. Northeners jpjting the advantages of the place, have ppipiipd Itt titae, and within a short siBii Itave established 20 factories, with aggregate capital of $1,500,000 > lMUbito of the natives are not much by this influx, however. Noth --s oat befog born swain, of different SaS WiU accomp,i8" thart.--vVafiona/ Loan Association*. A history of loan associations, which are attracting so mtioh attention at pres­ ent, has been published by Mr. Seymour Dexter, of New York. Following are some interesting facts: Although these societies have only be­ gun to attract public atteation within the last t w o or three years, their proto­ type was founded in a suburb of Philadel­ phia fifty-eight years ago. At first the building associations were purely volun­ tary, and it was not until some fifty of these had been started that the first in­ corporation of such a body took place. The laws of Pennsylvania passed in 1850 restricted the number of shares issuable by any one association to 500, a number raised nine years afterward to 2,500, and finally in 1874, made illimitable. In 1876 there were 450 of these associations in ojieration in Philadelphia. A year ago it was estimated that- the aggregate capital invested in these societies throughout the State of Pennsylvania was $<10,000,000. To this application of the co-operative principle is largely due the fact that Philadelphia lias more small houses owned by wage-earners than any other city in the Union. From Pennsylvania the building loan movement passed at an early date to New Jersey, and by 1347 the last named State had passed an act authorizing the incorporation of societies formed on the Philadelphia model. According to a re­ port of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were in New Jersey three years ago 156 associations, comprising nearly 38,000 shareholders, and possessing over 19,000,000 in net assets. In Massachusetts the societies are now known by the statutory name of "Co-op­ erative Banks." Although it is only twelve years since such associations were authorized by law, this had fifty- one in operation in 1887, the aggregate assets amounting to upward of $4,000,- 000. Within nine months afterward, thirteen new banks had been organized, and at present the popularity of these institutions is increasing. In the other New England States there are relatively few of these associations, although they are authorized by statute in all but one --Vermont. In New York an act was passed for the incorporation of these so­ cieties in 1850, but as late as 1870 very few of them had been formed. Now, on the other hand, there are nearly a hun­ dred in a single locality, viz.: the city of Rochester and its vicinity. In Erie coun­ ty 327 have been incorporated, but most of these have ceased to exist. There are, however, at least a hundred still active in the city of Buffalo alone. In the city of New York there are thirty, in Brook­ lyn, eighteen, and it is estimated by Mr. Dexter that by Jan. 1, 1890, there will 400 in operation in the whole State. In reviewing the work a New York paper supplements this by reference to the progress of these associations in the West. In Ohio the number exceeds 600, of which 400 are in Cincinnati, where there are 75,000 shareholders. In Chicago there are 250 ^associations, in Wisconsin there are 42, all organized since 1883. In Indiana, the idea started late but it is reported that now associations are being organized at the rate of one a day. In the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapo­ lis the record is remarkable. In the lat­ ter city it is estimated that 1,250 homes have been secured for workingmen by building associations; in the former there are over forty societies, credited with having built, wholly or in part, eight to ten thousand small houses. The number of loan associations in Iowa and Kansas is not large but in Missouri it is believed to reach 100. In Maryland there are nearly twice as many, 158 hav­ ing been founded in Baltimore alone Most of the Southern States, however, have been backward in adopting the eo-operative principle. There are, never­ theless, some thirty associations in New Orleans, and about the same number in the State of Tennessee. We have only to add that in California in 1887 there were eleven association# with aggregate assets of more than two and a half mil lion dollars. There are no less than 4,000 of these associations in operation in the United States. They are not a thing of the moment, of mushroom growth, but something that has been gradually mak­ ing its way. M9*In times past most of the legisla­ tion on the liquor question has been on the theory that the liquor seller is a crim­ inal. The legislature of Minnesota has made a new departure on the liquor question and has passed a law which pro­ vides that whoever becomes intoxicated by voluntarily drinking intoxicating liq­ uors shall be deemed guilty of the crime of drunkenness and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as follows: For the first offense by a fine of not less than flO nor more.than $40, or by imprison­ ment for not less than ten nor more than forty days; for the second offense by imprisonment for not less than thirty nor more than sixty days, or by a fine of not less than |20 nor more than f50 for the third and all subsequent offenses by not less than sixty nor more t.h«,n ninety days. By this law the drunkard is regarded not as a person to be pitied but as a person to be punished shunned. "It f» far from the Herald to b#* H%Te a man is aa good as a woman. A man smokes and chews. He drinks and swears. He fights. He loafs around groceries. He tells stories which no woman believes to have a morsel of wit. He talks politics nefariously . He tries to find excuses lor absence from church. He belongs to clubs. He crowds the street cars. He thinks too little of the children while they are babies, and too much of them as soon as they can go out with him. He is vain and pulls down his cuffs whenever he sees a woman. On the whole, he is a stupid animal, easily and constantly deceived, and de­ serving of deception because he is in­ clined to be brutal and selfish ."--Chicago HernJd.

Directors. m: 1ST The body of Dr. Cronin, who mys­ teriously disappeared from his place of abode in Chicago, on the 4th inst., was discovered last Wednesday afternoon in a catch-basin at the corner of Fifty-ninth street and Evanston avenue, in the suburbs of Argyle park, by some work men who were engaged in elaaning sewer. The body was stripped of cloth ing, and there were seven wounds upon the head, inflicted, presumably, with an ax or hatchet, any one of which would have proved fatal. The spot where the discovery was made is nearly a mile north of the place where the trunk was found that has played such an important part in the case, and the facts thus far ascertained show that the unfortunate man was murdered, and his body was placed in the trunk and carried to the catch-basin into which it was thrust through the man-hole, and that the murderers, returning after their ghastly work was completed, threw away the trunk at a convenient place so far from the scene that its discovery would furnish no clew to the crime. < "After a varied experience with many socalled cathartic remedies, I am con­ vinced that Ayer's Pills give the most Katirfactory results.
