TIE Democrats in Congress oppose
the admission of Dakota as State
for the reason that it will add two
more Senators to the Republican list
in the Senate. Democratic leaders
seldom get away from Democratic
practice.
DEMOCRATIC leaders; tariff men for
revenue purposes only; and all the
leaders of the foreign free trade NOV
ement have succeeded in keeping the
Democratic Congressman steady in
their opposition to the appointment of
a commission to revise the national
tariff.
DEMOCRATIC politicians that make
such a great fuss about the Chinese,
have not the courage to ask Congress
to pass bill to revoke or recall the
treaties existing between this country
and China. 1t is a very cheap denun-
citation to denounce President be-
cause he vetoed a bill that would
dishoner the treaty obligations that
exist between China and United
States.

Concord Mass, last Thursday, in his
18th year The seven Emersons
that preceded him were preachers

prepared for the ministry. He
preached three years and at the end

orphans now awaiting admission,
provided the principals of the schools
will wait for any deficiency that may

time that the Missouri Bandit Jesse
James was killed in the city of ST.
Joseph, he was living obscurely in q
very small way with his family, and
efter his death his wife was found to
have but $500 to maintain herself
and her children, Notwithstanding
that the plunder of the express car
alone had yielded to the thieves a
quarter of million dollars. The
money had all been squandered or
divided among the conspirators and
by paying people to aid the leader in
escaping justice. So this sort of rob-
berry appears after all to be a poor
business"
REfosTs from the growing crops
are not favorable. A short crop all
over the country would effect the
freight and travel rates of railroads,
and a shortning in the income of
railroads would affect the demand for
iron, coal, ties and so forth. A short
crop is far reaching in its effects ;
it reaches from the swiftly running

just named to every individual in pro-
portion. The source of all prosper
ity is in abundant crops.

Hebrews on sojourn in Russia shall

the government of the Republic.
