We remember some time ago Of reading
about mill in which was posted notice as
follows: "Dont monkey with the buzz saw
when in motion" We were reminded of
this by an incident which happened at re-
cent meeting of the Iowa Pool Line Rail-
roads in Chicago. The Pool is composed of
the various roads which run from Chicago
to Council Bluffs-Chicago az Northwestern,
Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul, Chicago,
Rock Island q Pacific, Chicago, Burlington
81 Quincy, and the Wabash. The represen-
tatives of one of the roads made charges
against Mr.. X. st. John, General Passenger
Agent of the Rock Island, of irregularity in
business methods. Mr.. st. John was absent
at the time and considerable was said in the
papers about how the Rock Island was work
ing 10 beat the pool, but upon his return he
at once took up the matter and issued quite
lengthy as well as spicy circular, in which
he "goes through" the allegations made
against him and the alligator very much as
buzz saw would go through the person who
was so foolish as to monkey" with it when
il was in motion. II is our opinion that the
roads making and attempting TO sustain the
charges against Mr.. st. John found him de-
cidedly ain notion" and hereafter when
they want to stir him up they will feel like
taking the advice of Punch TO the young
man about to marry-Don't. -"Toledo (Td.)

Democratic members of congress cannot
rise above the level of partisanship. They
stand solidly arrayed against the admission
of Dakota as state, although it has greater
population than most of the states have had
when they were admitted. A census of
South Dakota at the present time would
probably show population sufficient to en-
title her to two representatives. But the
democrats say there are peculiar circumstan-
ces in connection with the claims of Dakota
for admission to the Union. The only pc
culiarity manifest is that such admission
would make another solid republican delega-
ton to congress.
For this reason and for this reason alone,
democratic congressional demagogues
thinking more of party than they do of right
and justice, are willing to disfranchise a
large body of their fellow citizens, and to re-
fuse them the privilege of selfgovernment
1t is in vain that they stand and knock at
the door of the Union and ask admission.
They vote the republican ticket and that in
The eyes of democratic statesmen ~ is suffl-
cient reason for keeping them on the out
side. more shameless exhibition of parti-
sanship was never exhibited in the halls of
the National legislature. 1t will be one of
the things the people will remember against
the democratic party in future elections.

Since the democratic supreme court of
Ohio overthrow the Scott law and opened NJ
the foodgates of free whiskey, ten thousand
new saloons have been opened in that state
1t was by the aid of the prohibition party
that the democrats obtained control of the
court and other branches of the state gov
eminent, and were thus enabled to do this
kindness for their friends the liquor dealers
The contemplation of this, the legitimate
result OF their work, must be q source of
great satisfaction, to the political prohibi-
tionists of that state.

to having their mails destroyed in this man

repeatedly, and it is becoming monotonous.

of their mails, and not for their destruction.

the difficulty, the postal authorities had bet

If the democrats can get hold of the
United States in 1888, they will, undoubted
", attempt to carve up Texas into four or
five states, the law admitting the state into
the Union providing for such thing. OF
course democratic senators would be sent
from these new states, and the small repub-
lican majority possible in the senate at pres
ent would be overthrown forever. -Four
years ago the democrats who controlled con-
gress had this scheme in mind, and only
wanted the presidency to carry it.

Old, But Good.

The old story going the rounds about
the Senator from Arkansas who ate q
chunk Of soap disguised as O caramel,
and never WINGED over the dose, brings
10 mind little incident that once oc-
curred-or is said to have occured-in
Virginia City, though the story is not
particularly new. 1t was the custom in
those days, to set on the tables in the
restaurants, as condiment, dish of
little but very hot pepper berry, known
~ the "chilicoPena." Two Irishmen
walked into re,taurant, and seated
themselves at tsnle.
"Phwat's them, Pat7" said one, point.
ing to the chilicopenas.
"Berries. think" said the other.
Pat put couple of the berries in his
mouth, and in moment the tears were
streaming from his eyes.
"Phwat are you cryih' about, mon7''
asked his companion.
"Sure," said Pat, II got letter to day
that me ould mother is Dead"
While Pat was saying this, the other
man was chewing on some chilicopenas,
and the tears were coming into his eyes
also.
"And phwat are 70 cryin' about ?"
asked Pat.
"Snre, I'm crying to think that your
mother didn't die before you were born" !"

Land Loans.

We are not among those vino regard
the foreign land loan associations row
operating In our State az an unmixed
public benefit. On the contrary, we re.
gret that any Of the land owners of our
county have felt It necessary TO borrow
money from these associations. The lien
law, with the high rate of interest that
inevitably attends it, il bad enough
there Is no doubt about that; but we pro
fer the lien TO the mortgage. AS has
been said, the lien executes itself at the
end of the year and If the crop does not
satisfy 1t, it leaves q simple unsecured
debt.
The rate of interest which the loan
associations profess to charge cannot be
called extortionate; but the rate which
shey dc actually charge is somewhere Ii
the neighborhood of twelve per cent. 1t
ia carried up 10 that point by feea and
commissions; h,i. It :s 9 heavy peg cent.
all the sane. Then, the man who Dor.
js from these associations Ia 30 hedged
about by conditions and restrictions as to
be dangerously in the hands of the lender.
He must keep his house insured, for the
benefit of the corporation; he must pay
the taxes On his place and on the mort.
gage that covers 1t, he is not allowed to
cut timber on his own land, except for
the purpose of the farm; and if the asso.
citation is forced to foreclose the mortgage,
he is bound by the agreement to pay ali
costs, Including the lawyers fee for col.
lecting. The debt runs five years, the
interest to be paid annually; but the
company reserves the right 10 foreclose
whenever the borrower breaks any of the
numerous conditions of the mortgage.
We do not hesitate in saying that one
should be very slow to put himself in the
power of foreign capitalists, unless he is
driven to that course as last resort. 1t
is better to borrow money ct hca.s; arr.
few capitalists would -sf,gs to lend span
such security as that required by the loan
associations. -
We do not find fault with the men who
control these corporations, for it is per.
fectly legitimate that they should seek
the most profitable Investments for their
capital, but we regret that our people
cannot borrow money nearer home

A Lawyer Who Starved.

bright men and scrambled for by an
army OF tools; wnen, in short, strong
armed raen are winning the prizes and
white-hngered mollycoddles are trampled
under foot, this young fellow entered
upon the practice of law. He may have
been brave, industrious, self.denying,
honest and ambitious, but he had not q
vestige of legal ability, not dollar to
supply what he had not the qualifications
to provide. With the same time and
less money he could have become a
skilled mechanic, and, instead of a seedy
starvling prosperous, self.respecting
citizen. But then he would not have
had q profession" He must need,
wear soiled garments and soil his hands
