Editorial Notes.

"The innocent suffer for the guilty, the
world over, and the just for the unjust.
How strangely the world seems fitted to-
gether! Who ever saw an idle, indolent,
ease loving woman, who did not find
somebody to carry all the burdens for her;
somebody to toll, and sweat, and care for
her, while she selfshly takes her ease?
She who is weak and idle through her
own seldishness, insensibly impels others
to minister to her needs, instead of bestir-
ring herself; while the strong, loving wo-
man who has made herself very pillar
of strength through her own exertions,
must not only take care Of herself but
others also. Just observe how poor rela-
tions for example, will leave the one who
has no bounty to bestow, and swarm like
flies on molasses keg around one who
has become successful and prosperous by
dint of hard work and self sacrifice. The
industrious labor to feed the idle, and can
not throw them off because of the natural
ties of kinship and affection Then,
again, who ever saw person punctual by
habit and punctual by nature, who is not
continually rasped and fretted by the tardy
and the dilatory. Who ever saw a tender,
delicate, sensitive nature that did not find
people everywhere who were eager to
pierce it with thorns. Such a person
one without armor-is very unfortunate;
he invites the shafts of harshhess and crit
icism as pincushion invites pins. What
ever ones weak point may be, it seems to
be in the nature of some one to find it out
and give him thrust in that particular
place. minneapolis Daily Tribune.

we want, and repeal the Scott Law, they
had better keep sharp lookout ahead.
We are bound to no party, and our saloon
interests are of more importance than
politics. Since its foundation the Demo.
cratic party has been the advocate of what
you doubtless call free whisky, and they
know as well as we, that it is not in their
interest to antagonize the liquor interest
of the State" If this is not for the Dem
ocratic party, an instance of being
wounded in the house of its friend, " we
do not know where to find one.
