The Coming Election.

Editor HOPE PIONEER:
Lear Sir-New that the time IL approaching
when the voters Of the first commissioned dis.
trict in Steele county will be called upon 70
elect successor to their now representative
commissioner, Grey, 1t struck me that it would
be beneficial to the people Of the district to dis
cuss through the columns of the PIONEER an
available party. By an available party, r
mean man who not only possesses the high
est degree Of integrity, coupled with ability,
but also one who has had some degree Of ex.
perlence and has the nerve to assert himself.
1t requires that commissioner should be a
man possessed Of broad and liberal ideas, who
can SEQ beyond his own nose, and who plans his
actions with aregard to the benefit they will be
to the county, and not to himself, and who
works for some result other than the gratifca-
ten OF his spleen and the desire Of little
cheap notsriety at the eounty's expense. Again,
IT must bs man who, in pursuing bis course
OF duty, il not to be deferred from performing
that which he believes to be for tho best inter-
ests OF the county and his district by the mul.
titude OF crsakers who will dissent from any
measure that may be taken. No particular,
quallhcatisn Is mere requisite in a county COM
missioner than this latter, for always there
will be some individuals who, in their own
opinion, could or would have done better, and
have improved upon anything, no matter what,
that any board Of county commissioners NAV do.
Just such a man as possesses this needful
qualification in a marked degree is John P.
Worth, whose name, understand has been
prominently mentioned as candidate to fill
the coming vacancy in the ofice Of commits
sloner IN this district. Mr.. Worth has been
resident Of this county ever since It's organiza-
ton, and has shown himself to be q gentle
man OF high character, and In every way
qualified to fill any Office Of trust. He is widely
known throughout the county, aud it is because
believing that Ills election would be enthusi-
astically accomplished in his district, and re-
ceived with qualification throughout the whole
county, that write this See to it. voters of

About Soothing Syrups.
From the National Review

IRON the National ReVieW.l
opium forms the basis of innumera-
BILE remedies and very effective RENE
dies, sold under titles altogether reas-
surlng and misleading Nearly all
soothing syrups and powders for ex-
ample" mothers blessings and in
fants' cures-are really opiates.
Ihese are known or suspected by most
well-lnformed people. What is less
generally known is that nine in ten of
the popular remedies for catarrh,
bronchitis, cough, cold and asthma
are also oplates. So powerful indeed
is the effect OF opium upon the lining
membrane of the lungs and air pass
ages, SO difficult to find an effective
substitute, that the efficacy, at least
the certain and rapid efficacy. of any
specific remedy for cold, whose exact
nature is not known, affords strong
ground for suspecting the presence of
opium. Many chemists are culpably,
almost crlminally, reckless; and not a
few culpably ignorant in this matter.
An experienced man bought from q
fashionable West End shop q box of
cough lozenges, pleasant to the taste
and relieving q severe cough with won
derful rap1dIty. Familiar with the IN
fuence of opium on the stomach and
spirits, he was sure before he had
sucked half-a-dozen of the lozenges
that he had taken a dose powerful
enough to affect his accustomed
system, and strong enough to poison
a child, and do serious harm to
sensitive adult. Yet the lozenges were
sold without warning or indication of
their character; few people would have
taken any special precaution to keep
them out of the way Of children, and
the box, falling into the hands of
needless or disobedient child, might
have poisoned whole nursery.

Oh speech III man. A bellows from be-
hlnd sends the force of air into the
larynx, where the primal sound is pro-
duced by the vibrations of @ thin
piece OF bone. The sound coming
from here IS modified at will. The lips
ana tongue are made of India rub
Der and the lower jaw and tongue are
movable and thus able to control tha
SOUNDS which are produced. To sum
ply the place of nose, directly nndarr-
meath the mouth and in connection
with 1T is q lemon-shaped chamber to
which a rubber tube curved inward
forms an outlet. When the air ;s
driven through, the nasal sound Of the
instrument is produced. A Sc
RES OF stops placed directly
IN front of the vocal chords in
the larynx, and under the control of
the operator by pedals, regulate the
pitch of the sound. The keyboard
by which it is operated consists of
fourteen keys representing fourteen
distinct letters orsounds. The others
are formed by combinations. The
tone IS necessarily hard and rough.
but the enunciation is surprisingly
distinct. The piano was invented in
1864 by q resident of Vienna, and
though it has been widely exhibited
throughout Europe, INSISTS first ap-
pearance IN the United States.

of her struggles with the corn beef.

GIVING IN MARRIAGE.

Come let us sit together for q space,
In this still room remote from friendly mirth
Afar from light and music, face to face,
Each unto each the dearest thing on earth.
Love, they have left us, our two bOnny brides
Our tall, grave girl, our winsome, laughing pet
All mel How wide the chasm that divides
Our life from theirs; how far their feet are set
From the calm path they trod with us so long.
How we shall miss them, who loved them so,
On winter nights when winds are blowing strong,
On summer mornings, when the roses blow.
But-happy but-we still clasp hand in hand
Eye still meets eye and true hearts understand.
Love, they have left us empty of the mirth
That eheered our homestead while they So
jOurned here
Yes, they have left us lonely on the earth,
Lone, but together, solitude most dear;
All, God, 60 with them to the stranger nests,
That love has built for them and theirs to
come.
God, keep all warm and living in their breasts
Loves holy flame, the altar-hre OF home.
Dear, they have left us; we no longer hold
The first, best place however leal each heart.
Yet have we treasure left refined gold,
Loves sterling ore without its baSer part.
The wide old house has lost it's Nesting birds
But we are left. All, love- what need of words.

MINUTE BUT ENDEPENDENT
The San Marino Republic-The Story of
the Rise and Life of the Smallest Repub-
lie in the World.

lie in the World.
[From Temple Bar.
The little Republic of San Marino is
nclosed in the Kingdom of Italy. 1t.
is bounded on the north, east and
south by the Province of Forli, and on
the west by that of Pesaro. It's terri
tory covers about twenty -two square
miles. The population numbers 8, 500
souls, and the capital, San Marine,
has 1,2OO. It is perched on the sum-
NIT OF mountain called Mount Titan,
or the Giants, which sometimes leads
to this little state being termed the
Titanic Republic. It's origin
dates from the fourth century, and
for heraldic bearings it has the follow
Ing; Argent, three strong towers az
ure on three rocks of the same; three
curved flames, gules, issue from the
towers and crown them. The motto
is "Libertas." The escutcheon is sur
rounded by flags and surmounted by
crown, indicating a sovereign state.
The republic has an order of chivalry,
created in 1889, under the name of
Order of San Marine. It consists of
Greek cross, with towers at the four
angles, and in the center q medallion
with the arms of the republic, sur
mounted by princely crown, closed
and suspended by a striped blue and
white ribbon. These are the national
colors.
In 1896, Bonaparte, after defeating
the Austrians, sent the celebrated
mathematician, Mongo, to compli-
ment the free mountaineers and make
them offers of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but
they very politely and very prudently
declined. When Italy became king
dom, Napoleon desired to preserve
this small state intact. "It is rare
sample of republic to preserve, said
the emperor. In 1849, Garibaldi
driven from Rome by Gen. Oudinot,
took refuge in San Marine, forbidding
his soldiers to do any harm to the in
habltants. Victor Emmanuel not
only respected the liberty and institu-
tions of this little country, but always
showed it great sympathy, especially
on his visit to Bologna at the time Of
the inauguration of the Ancona Rail
way in 1861. In 1862 a treaty of
customs and commerce was concluded
between Italy and the republic.
San Marine owes it's foundation to
a hermit by that name, born in DIAL
malta in the fourth century, and who
went to work as a mason at the re-
building of the walls OF Rimini Mari
no afterward took refuge in the midst
OF the woods on Mount Titan, and
constructed there cabin, in which he
ended his days. The place where he
expired soon became the object of pill
grlmages, and houses were built there,
which ultimately formed the town of
San Marine. The fete of the saint is
celebrated on the 18th of September.

From the Providence Journal
When the evenings fun was over the
pair of Jolly fellows discarded their
costumes and attempted to discard
the negro tint of their faces, but, to
their dismay, hard scrubbing and a
liberal use of soap and water failed to
produce any more effect OH the black
than to make it glow and
become, if anything, the more
realistic. The pair explained the
difficulty to a crowd of sympa-
thizers, and by advice a Turkish bath
establishment was resorted to; but at
the late hour of the night the bath
was not In running order, and in de-
spair a prominent druggist was sought
out, and while the embarrassing
trouble was explained the druggist
was begged to prescribe some solution
that would turn the black faces white
again. 1t transpired that the CAV. car
nivalists had on the recommendation
OF friend, used hemp black and lard
instead OF the popular burnt cork,
and the man of chemicals assured
them that he could not wash their
faces and time alone could do it for
them.

easier than to initiate that sSArthy Italian,
to stand up on tie rear end Of the gondola
and dip the oar in and ont Of the water.
"You look tired" Isaid to the gondolier;
