let her remain as she is. We believe she |
can do III; that she is ready and willing, and |
that she stands at the door opened BY the |
constitution. Her politics are Republican, |

One Of the coming questions in this state
is whether human beings and sheep have
any rights which dogs are bound to respect.

Representative f. d. Taylor, of Ohio, re-
Gently introduced resolution calling upon
the judiciary committee to report what
power, II any, Congress may have under the
constitution, "to regulate the manufacture
Of and traffic In adulterated food In differ
ent states, In interstate commerce, and eX
portations to foreign ports" The commit
tee has the resolution under consideration.
Judge Taylor believes that II q tax can be
legally imposed upon such traffic. 1t will be
the quickest and most eiTectual way TO stop
it.-[The gainesville, Ohio Telegraph
II is reported that hundreds OF disap-
pointed Democrats are daily leaving the
capital vowing vengeance against the per-
fidious members who promised them places,
and then when the places were available
awarded them TO their own kin. Such
nepotism would be an objectionable offense
II done by Republicans.-.[M Mitchell, Ind,

The pension bills continue to pour into
| Congress. II all this energy was expended
| on some one practical bill there would be
| no trouble in getting the pension lawsin
shape. But so long as men continue to
| crowd the calendar with their impossible
| not to say impractica0le bills, Just so long
will they be unable to accomplish anything
| These small congressman only clog the
wheels of legislation, and they become
enemies OF the very men they profess to be
befriending. Let them unite on something
| like the bill introduced by Senator Logan
and they will accomplish something that
will be OF immense value to the soldiers

II Is n great mistake on the part of those
to whom falls the duty of mOlding the
thought and shaping the methods through
which labor shall express and satisfy its
needs when they strive to create antagonisms
between the worliingman and the capitalist.
To obtain all they need the laboring men
must supplement political effort by indl-
vidual effort Workingmen must work
with themselves, that their efforts to organ
ize and cooperate be always growing in
strength and efficiency, and outside OF
themselves that the moderation. fairness,
and justice Of their demands may satisfy
the judgment and so secure the aid Of their
fellow-citizens In all the walks of life

Senator Harrsons report on the admis-
sion Of Dakota is spoken Of as one OF the
ablest ever made to the Senate, and II that
great territory is admitted 1t will owe 1t to
his ability and exhaustive labors to that
end. Senator Harrison is one Of the ablest,
most industrious, and conscientious SEN
ators Of the United States, and while he Is
supposed to have some defects of popu-
larity, the sllpposition has no basis OF fact
to stand on. Nobody is more approachable
by, or more genial to, the people who have
business with him, or who wish to pay their
respects, as the great body Of people wish
to do to their public men. But Senator
Harrison is not very easily approached or
handled by the dead beats or the sharpers
of politics. He is solid and genuine all
through, and rests in politics on the solid,
genuine people Of Indiana, and not on the
hucksters Of politics. No man except, per-
haps, Morton, has had more influence in
the Senate In his first term, and no mar
has more faithfully served his people,

little town In Nebraska, the people Of that

they feel that the home market which the
factory must afford will be Of great pecuni-

that bonus a tax. They do not believe that

BY the daily press we note that Senate
Sutton has already introduced remarka

matters. 1t provides that the governo
may "remove mayors and police officer
where the prohibitory law is not enforced
and appoint officers who will enforce tn
I law" 1t allows the defense to take

! cases, provides state constabulary, and I
in many respects the most ferocious pro
) hlbitory measure ever submitted to a mod
em legislative body. Whether the senate
