MAN.
Poetic Thoughts Concerning Him.

Poetic Thoughts Concerning Him.
Man passes away; his name perishes
from record and recollection: his his
tory is as tale that is told; and his
very monument becomes ruin. -
Washington Iruiaag.
To understand man, however, we
must look beyond the individual man,
and his actions or interests, and view
him in combination with his fellows
Carlyle.
Man is his own star, and that soul
that can be honest is the only perfect
man.--Beaumont and Fletcher.
The scientific study of man is the
most difficult of all branches of knowl-
edge.-Olirer WendeU Holmes.
The man of wisdom is the man of
years.-YOu,1g.
The smiles Of love aQo.n,
Mans inhumanity to man
Makes countless tloesands mourn.
Burns.
stood I, Nature. man alone in thee.
Then were it worth On IS Willie man to be.
-Goethe.
A man is TIE whole encyclopedia of
facts. The creation of thousand for
ests is IN one acorn, and Egypt, Greece,
Rome. Gaul, Britain, America lie
folded already in the first man.-En,-
e7sOn.
Such is man! in great affection, he is
elevated by the first minute; in great
happiness, the most distant, sad one,
even while yet beneath the horizon,
casts him down.-Richter.
What piece of work is man! How
noble in reason! how infinite in facul-
ty! in form, and moving, how express
and admirable! in action, how like an
angel! in apprehension, how like god!
the beauty of the world! the paragon
of animals! And yet, to me, what is
this quintessence of dust? = Shak-
SpeGre.
When faith is lost. when honor dies,
Then man is dead.
Whittier.
Reading maketh a full man, confer
ence ready man, and writing an exact
man.-Bacon.
A man that is temperate. generous,
valiant, chaste, faithful, and honest,
may, at the same time, have wit, humor,
good-breeding, mirth, and gallantry;
while he exerts these latter qualities
twenty occasions might be invented to
shcw he is master of the other nobler
virtues. s.-Steele.

Sir j. Denhnm.
Men are but children Of a larger growth;
Our appe,ites are apt to change as theirs,

THE MINNESOTA ELECTION

''Gath" writes the Minneapolis Tri5laar
that Minnesota is the banner Republican
state. If that is so the rest must be- in bad
shape, for the results in Minnesota are not
very encouraging TO the Republican parry,
and indicate very clearly that the day is not
far distant when even this rock-ribbed state
will b. placed upou the deb4teable list.
In tlis year Of gIace 10 fight was made
upon the Republican electoral ticket in Min
nesota, and the vote cast was 44.417 greater
than it was four years ago, while Bl4ine's
DaqjOrity is but 1921 as compared with
80, 1921 received by Garfield. II is even less
than the majority given Hayes in 1875 which
was 81, 1853 Oh a total vote Of 121, 76l. In
otLer words the total vote Of
the state increased in eight
years 6s,s64. while the Republican
majority fell off 952. In 1872 the vote stood
Grant So, liz, Gree.y "a, 423; or Republican
majority OF 20, 794 in total vote of SO. $40
In 1876 t8e total vote had risen 10 I2I, 7Gl
aud the Republican majority had increased
TO "a, 1853, or gain Of Is, 1863 in four years.
But with 1876 the tide turned aud although
population has continued 10 increase, the
Il; it has absolutely fallen of in eight years 952l
and relating 10 population il has decreased IN
a much greater degree. Toe Republican
party is on the downward grade, and instead
OF tue fifty or sixty thousand majority when
the Republican leaders this year claimed,
they have to be content with a bcggarly 3d.

scandinavian vote OF the state; aud as the
voters Of that population are becoming to u

To the day when even Minnesota snail be re-

two years from now the horde of postmasiers,

We can take especial encouragement from
the results in the Third district, where Mr..

THEoH0LE

The cholera has been prevailing for some
time in Paris, in the ilthiest, aud the very
filthy portion Of that city. 1t has not pro-
dnced the commOtion and CONSERVATION
that it did. when it appeared in Marseilles
and Toulon. The report now is that the dis
ease is abating, and no special alarm is felt
in regard to its spreading. That it will visit
this country next year there is every reason
10 expect. Itis the part of wisdom TO prepare
for it by every possible sanitary precauiion,
to mitigate its severity as much as possible
when it does come. To this end ia cities of
every dimension, drainage. cleanliness, the
sewers and the streets should be looked after
in the most careful manner, and as soon as
the rigors of winter abate the most vigorous
renoyating sanitary measures should be ad-
opted.

BALDWIN, Wis, Nov. 20.-The Democrats
oi Baldwin, aided by those from adjoining
towns, painted this town red tonight. Their
capacity Tor enthusiasm was limited, but
they were chuck full, aud they made the

and Hendricks. Forming in front OF the
engine house, they marched through the
principal streets, bearing torches, transpar-
eneies and brOOms. preceded by the Little
Rnek q Fort Smith railroad "a Ia" Ham
mond and brass band. They did honor TO
those who were in unison with them, and.
despite the fact that Republicans who ought
TO have known better, tried hard tc provoke
them, they were credit to Baldwin and
themselves. After the parade they packed
Melgord's bail full, when they listened To
stirring addresses by Judge Larson and
Others- The night is one memorable in the
history OF the town. Such bouirrs and such
saiutes were never seen or heard here, and
the speech Of Judge Larson, although be is
a defeated candidate, was full of humor,
pith and goo.l points. This was a glorious
ending Of the campaign in Baldwin.

honor of the election of Cleveland and Hen
bricks. Mark Paine was elected chairman
of the meeting and speeches were made by
Hon. II. Gutenberg and A. Delacy Wood.
which were received with great applause. A.
Deiacy Wood spoke upon the effectua burial
OF the bloody shirt and thought that this coun-
try would be a union in practice as well as
in the speech OF the paid Republican stump
orators. The Duluth brass band was in at
tendance and a grand torchlight procession
marched through the principal streets. The
office of the Carlton County Press received
fine serenade at the hands of the Duluth
brass band. Mr.. Wood, the editor, made a
lively speech in rec ogntion of the compli.
ment When the band marched toward the
hall bout 800 men were in the procession.
Paddy Welsh and Tom MeGowan, of the
famous Duluth Glee club were present and
enlivened the occasion with a number of
songs, after which the Hon Mark Paine an
nOunced to the audience that the meeting
had closed and grand old JefTersonian

ties OF the occasion. Marshal Cole is en-

from his known character there is no reason
to expect. That an immense pressure will
be brought to bear upon him in regard to re-

be anticipated. This is true. indeed, of every
new administration. But Mr.. Cleveland has
given evidence in his executive action az
Albany that be has nerve aud inpependence
and clear diseernment Of the right and
has the integrity to pursue the right, as he
concludes the right to be-.
Men that he finds in office who are honest.
capable and faithful, who have not prostitu-
ted their official positions to serve party ends.
in short, who have been non-partisan, with
an eye single to the faithful discharge of Of

not be disturbed, however great the pressure
that may be brought TO bear upon the ap
p hitting power. How many such honest,

the minority, no doubt. That there will be
