McGlll is ELECTED.

Minnesota's governor elect is \. II.
McGill and he has been elected by II
tritling majority, 10y n mere scratch.
1t is very humiliating to have his
election principally due to u hlunder;
yet this is the case for lie can thank
Ames' fool friends who made that
suicidal attack upon IL republican pro-
cession in the streets of Minneapolis
the evening before election, for his
narrow escape from defeat. The re-
suit of the contest will be rather salts
factory to many, for the only way to
keep Ames' out was to put McGill in.
1t is also rather satisfactory to think
that the many Disguised republicans
who scratched McGill did not vote
for Ames' else that elegant specimen
of democratic demagoge would
easily have won. Republicans had to
either humlliate themselves by sup
porting candidate of the bosses or
disgrace the state by allowing Ames'
to be elected. They ate humble pie,
to as limited an extent as possible,
AID their relief at having the RESPONSE
! billty of McGills election on demo-
cratic shoulders is immense, for he
does not owe his success to the repub-
lican party, and the majority of his
party don't want that he should-Re-
publicans did right to refuse to en-
dorse the nominee of the dictators,
and as the bosses see 10000 majority
scattered to the winds and three con-
gressional districts lost, they can i'm
agine the dose awaiting them, when
the opportunity offers.

REV. SAM JONES TO WOMEN.

Rev. Sam Jones preached sermon
to over one thousand woman in In
dianapolis, in which he said: "Never
help the devil lay your husband in
drunkard's grave. The hardest thing
I can say, and say it in all kindness,
is that the biggest fool God ever looked
at is a wife who stirs toddy for her
husband. Sisters, let me warn you,
by every drunken husband, father,
and son in the land, that he became
so through taking drains, and many
of them by drinking toddies stirred by
their wives. You go home and empty
out those closets. I'll tell you another
thing; there are plenty of women who
drink lagerbeer. My, my, my! Did
you hear what Brother Price said
about beer the other day? He said
that it agreed with the Dutch stomach
but that it didn't agree with the hui
man stomach. The idea of woman
drinking lager-beer? Why if you
it in your hog-trough, and didn't
sweeten 1t or anything, there isn't a
poor, half-starved hog in the lot that
would touch it. Ifyou did deceive
some poor hog into drinking it, as
soon as he got sober he would leave
this town and you couldn't drive him
back. I've heard women. say that
they drink beer for their health.
When my wife and children can't
live without beer, I am ready to
preach their funeral sermon. Do you
hear that? say that the only hope
Of America to day is in the tact that
we have sober mothers and wives,
and If the women should be de-
bauched into drinking, like the men
do, we would soon become a nation
Of hopeless drunkards.

Some one, who wrote for last weeks
Sun, was either evidently distracted
by the general smash of the Stevens
county democracy, as the frenzied
statements, delerious assertions. dis
ordered reasonings, and general hal
lucination would show, or else the
writer was a candidate for Bedlam
and got there by handsome MAORI
ty. It can't be that Gjertson, the one
and only. is on the Sun staf-no, it
would be unjust to charge him with
being the author of even such inco-
herent drivel as was contained in the
editorial columns of the last issue of
that sheet. 1t must be some base i'm
itator, or would-be impersonator of
the Gjertsonian style of illogical
vaporing. It was the most silly, ILL
devised, most nonsensical and incon-
sistent rubbish ever published in that
paper during its giddy career. AS an
instance. It asserts that the Repub-
licans did not support Helgeson in
Morris or the county. Now the re-
turns show exactly to the contrary,
and that the result was surprise to
the democrats and to Giltinan Is adj
mitted by his supporters, and de-
monstrated by the fact that Giltinan
and his friends wagered money freely
that his majority in this village would
be over seventY-fve, and in the coun-
ty over 125. Now, Mr.. Helgeson can
see, and we doubt not admits, that
the work done for him and in his in
terest, in this village and in every
precinct in the county, was we'll and
faithfully performed. The votes prove
this, and what sense, rhyme or reason
is there in the SUMS asserting to the
contrary; or in other words, why
prevaricate after the returns are in.
Figures don't lie. But then, perhaps,
the embryo Gjertson don't understand
figures, for if he does, he acts queer
even for him, by proving himself so
deluded as to suppose people of intel
ligence view facts through his fanci-
full glasses. Now, fthe Sun wants
facts as to the trading ticket of the
democracy-as to Becker's treachery,
or as to the Republicans honorable
campaign-we would suggest that
they would employ some one of aver
age ability and mediocre intelligence
to summarize the returns. Then if
not satisfied that they have not only
split their party wide open, stopped
over, and made suicidal collapse, we
may favor them with few figures
and a letter or two, perhaps. We
would summarize the returns, but we
do not believe it necessary, as our
readers possess average intelligence.

The United States as a Meat-Producing
Nation.

Although our wheat crop is much
larger than that of last year-indeed
our winter wheat is exceptionally
good-yet the fact remains that we
are never likely to sell as much grain
to foreign nations Us we did from 1877
to 1854. For one thing, we consume
more grain ourselves, for there are ten
million more of us now than there was
in 1880, when the last census was
taken. But while we will export
less grain, We will send abroad very
much larger quantities of beef, mutt
ton, pork and lard. This will be an
advantage to us, for the cropping OF
grain robs the soil of its fertility,
while the raising of cattle not only
enriches the land but returns us a
larger profit. Since 1860 we have de-
veloped prodigiously what may be
called our beef, hog, and fish crops.
In 1870, we had %, 1920, 900 head of cat
tie. In 1885, we had 5000 600. At
the present rate of increase, we shall
have 10000, 900 in 1905 and 140, 900, 900
in 1925. Then the great crops we have
had since 1870 have enormously in
creased the number of hogs for our
own use and for expectation. For the
last two years ou- corn crops were UNI
usually large, while it is very promis-
ing this year, and this meaps that hog
products of all kinds will be plentiful
and cheap for two years to come.
Wheat can be raised in many quarters
of the globe, but the only great avail
able cattle ranches outside of the
United States are in Australia and
South America, but we have the de-
cided advantage of being nearer the
meat-consuming nations. Then, with
in ten years there has been a wonder
full development of fish food, due to
the artificial Matching of fish oya by
the National and State Fish Com
missions. There are probably twenty
pounds of fish to-day available for
food where there was one ten years
ago, and the process of stocking our
streams is still going on; and then
there will be immense additions to
our stock of poultry and dairy pro-
ducts. So far as physical necess tiles
are concerned we are the most favored
nation on earth. We have practical
monopoly of corn. We grow more
grain than we can consume, while
our animal food products are SO
abundant that we could feed half the
world and have enough for ourselves
besides.-From Demorest's Monthly
for September.

Playing the Mandolin.

The mandolin is the reigning fashion
able caprice, having quite superseded the
banjo in the esteem of the ladies. That
It should have done so is by no means
strange, for it is really a charming little
instrument when at all decently played,
Is not very difficult to learn, and has a
good deal more style and finish about 1t
than the banjo has. However the latter
may be adorned, with nickel plating,
mother-of-pearl, and all sorts Of gaudy
ornamentation, it has plebian look
about it, and suggests the idea of field
hand in his Sunday suit. But the man
dolin, especially If one of the good kind,
made of joined strips Of dark mahogany,
has an aristocratic polish and finish
about it and wears it in jaunty fashion
peculiarly its own.
The only unpleasant feature about It to
the learner is the knife blade like sharp
ness of its fine wire strings. There are
eight strings, in pairs, all of steel wire.
Two pairs are wound with German sill
yer, and are not so cruel as the others,
but the unwound four, hardly thicker
than horse hairs, seem to cut to the
bone the finger ends that press them down
upon the frets. OF course that pain and
trouble ends when each finger of the left
hand is tipped with bony, callous spot,
and one must expect some such trouble
in forming a close acquaintance with any
stringed instrument. When nature has
provided that protection, the mandolin
player, If an expert, can produce some
very pleasing effects by producing the
tones by percussion on the strings over
the frets, instead of by stunning with a
bit of tortoise shell held between the
thumb and forefnger of the right hand,
which is the ordinary way of playing.
The tone of the mandolin very much
resembles that of the either, having the
same clear penetrating quality, but the
compass of the instrument and its capa-
bilities are much below those Of the
zither.-New York Sum.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There is many o rest In the road OF life,
II We would only stop to take IL;
And many tone from the better land,
1.-THE querelous heart woul make 1t.
To the sunny soul that Il full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are
bright.
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better 10 hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted; G
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through,
When the Ominons clouds are rifted!
There was never night without day,
Or an evening without a morning;
And the darkest hour, rs the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the lath OF life
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the Jeweled crown
Or the miser's hoayded treasure.
It may be the love of q little child
Or mothers prayer to Heaven,
Or only begger's grateful thanks
For a cup Of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling.
And to do Gods Will with ready heart
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
or our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled
ends
And sit and grieve and wonder.

The Stock Game on the Rail.


1t must strike a foreigner as curious, if
he ever gets into q smoking car on one
of the roads running into the populous
suburban towns and outlying settlements
of New York, to note the provisions made
for card playing. On the New York and
New Haven there are little tables fixed
between the seats, and the latest conven-
fence noted was a patent register of the
games, which is let into the panel con-
venient to either players hand. Euchre
is the stock game on the rail, and the
afternoon smoker is always well filled
with players going north, south, east or
west. On the morning trains you do not
see a card. The travellers are all too
much absorbed in the days business be-
fore them to spare time for frivolous
diversions or the barren chances of an
idle game.-New York News.

WAYS OF THE SWEDISH LAPPs.
Their Wealth is in Their Reindeer
ShI ewd mt Making Bargains.


SIN ewd at Making Bargains.
Tromsoe is our next stopping place, a
busy town, the centre Of the northern
trade with Russia, Germany and France.
1t has perhaps 5000 inhabitants-all Nor
wegian towns are small-and possesses an
interesting museum. But 1t Is not the
town that offers the greater interest to
the tourist. In the Tromsooedal two
miles away, there is family OF Swedish
Lapps that come down from the noun
tains every summer with all their equip
ment, including many babies and herd
of 4. 600 or 5, 900 reindeer. The wealth of
the Lapps is in their reindeer, and the
richest man among them alone owns at
least 5, 900. The reindeer milk is the chief
Lapp food, and is drunk diluted with
water The skins of these useful animals
are used for inner and outer clothing,
and for many household purposes. One
very noticeable popularity of the rein
deer is that, in moving about, the knee
Joints make cracking noise like that
produced by the swapping of the sparks
from an electrical battery.
The houses, or "gammer," are small,
low and domeshaped, made of stone, turf
and birch bark with n mole in the top to
let out the smoke. But as fire is al
ways burning in the hut some smoke re-
mains inside, and in that tear-impelling
atmosphere the babies tightly fastened
papoose fashion in their wooden cradles
hanging by thongs from the roof swing
all day long until they wien up and their
skins grow brown and wrinkled. There
are always plenty Of small children about,
dirty, but with rather attractive brown
faces Puppies and larger dogs of the Lapp
breed are constantly under foot and are
as plentiful as the children with whom
they are brought up.
The Lapps are all shrewd at making
bargains and sell to the unsuspecting
traveller divers horn spoons and knives
with carved horn cases and the like at re-
munerative prices. 1t is interesting to
watch the process of thread making A
wrinkled, nut-faced old woman takes a
reindeer muscle, or rather its tendenous
portion, in her teeth, and tears it into
four parts, and divides each part again
and again until it looks something like
fax; then taking little at time she
rubs it with the palm of her hand over
her brown cheek twisting it into thread,
which united with others, makes strong
Irvine and rope. They have many curious
customs, and are wonderfully dirty, but
offer the greatest interest to the ethnolo-
gist. They are a short people, the tallest
being hardly over feet. They have a
sort of civilization, and have preachers
among them, but the Norwegians along
the coast are always in hot water with
them, because in their migratiOns the
reindeer destroy most of the cultivated
fields, through which they pass on their
way to the sea.-Cor Boston Herald.

Did any of our readers endeavor to
read between the lines of an editorial
in last weeks Sun? The utterly
reckless, almost dangerous, wholly
extravagant and rather lavish use of
explosive language, was partly to
conceal feelings of woe, and give vent
to sad emotions. Let us read between
the lines, and we find it fairly il
luminated-a rainbow of coloring
showing the true inwardness of the
democratic party leaders, the would
be bosses. Our splendid local victory
causes that yellow, symbolic of jeal-
ousy, while the blue is reflex of
their feelings. These combined have
produced envy's green tinge. Rage
over their defeat causes the purple
coloring, and is thus reflected. Yes,
there is brownish shading, curiously
co-mingIed with a carmine hue. The
brown must be reflection of their
liquor sent broadcast over the county
on the eve of election, while the
carmine is caused by regrets that the
contents of these brown jugs were not
saved to paint the town that color.
The brilliant eoloring, is dimmed al
most to obliteration by a sickly shad-
ing, emblematic of and emenating
from the broad exposure OF their
treachery and trading, while the livid
hues tell of cowardly shrinking from
the inevitable day of reckoning, when
these breaches come to be patched.
Over all the bright coloring is dreary
ghastliness; this means that the
traitorous element among the bosses
see political death and OBLIVION before
them

Mr.. Pearce, but for treachery, would
have had much heavier vote, and it
is lucky for Becker and others that

been an astonisher. Some of these

heard from, and this wrong will be
