OPINIONS ON THE RESULT.
The Rights Ofthe West.

From the 81. Louis Republic,
The predictions that David B, Hill will
be the nominee of the Democratic party in
1892 come entirely from Republican
sources. The fact that he ran ahead OF the
national ticket is well understood by Dem
ocrais in connection with the threats Of
knitting made by his supporters before the
election. Hill is pernicious and treach-
erous demagogue, and the New York re-
turns show that the Republican party is
more indebted to his treachery for the sue
cess of Harrison than to any other cause
whatever. His faction sacrificed the ma
tional ticket TO secure his election. lie Is
politically dead except as huckster in the
local politics OF New York. For four
years longer the Northeast corner will
control the Government and dictate It's
policy, but its hold on the Democratic
party was broken when New York de-
feated its best and greatest citizen last
Tuesday. The Democratic party will not
again venture the result OF national
election on the good faith Of New York
politicians, with whom treachery is q
habit and yenalitya second nature. Cleve-
land Is SUI the leading representative and
exponent OF Democracy. The policy out
lined by him will be the policy along the
lines OF which the party will continue
its fight for reform. II will become

to the policy Of high taxation

THRIFTY FARMERS.

The Scandinavian element in the pop
ulatiOn of the Northwest is not only
valuable in that it is composed of peo-
pie who practice the virtues of sobriety
and Industry in an eminent degree, but
also because of the excellent example of
thrift which it sets farmers of other ma
tionalities who may perhaps by nature
be less disposed to devote that careful
attention tolittie things which results
in large aggregate saving. The latest
example of this kind is furnished by the
Swedish farmers of a Northern Iowa
county, who compose farmers alli-
ance of the most practical sort. They
have established cooperative store,
which. though only i'll existence since
last May, has supplied the farmers with
their supplies at reasonable cost and
has declared dividend of 80 per cent
In tact, the success of the eX-
pertinent has been so great that
the business will be further developed,
and bank will be added to it. Of
course. the wisdom of starting co-opera-
tive stores in every farming community
would be doubtful, for there must be
special circumstances to insure their
success. but the incident is valuable as
illustrating the fact that organization is
OF as much practical utility among
farmers as it is among any other class
of wOrkmen. Without system success
Is hardly possible i'll any pursuit. With
it, given the average amount of intelli-
0pDpp SurpaSS * ippyitahl
Every man has, of course, an inalien-
able right to ''go it alone" if he wants
to, but the farmers should not forget
that organization for the common good.
such organization as is illustrated in the
session of the Farmers alliance yester-
day held in st. Paul, can be made to
serve their ends as well as that of their
brethren who seek livelihood in any
different manner.

A GOOD BORROWER.
She Is Arraigned to Answer to the
Charge of Falsely Obtaining
Money.

She Is Arraigned to Answer to the
Charge of Falsely Obtaining
Money.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Mrs. Cor
della j. Hendricks, the famous Dor
rover, was arraigned before magis-
trate this afternoon to answer the
charge of obtaining $500 from Joseph
e. Van Meter, by false and fraudulent
means. Mr. Van Meter testified that about
four years ago he gave Mrs. Hendricks
81, 1000 upon the representation that she
had government bonds amounting to
$500, 200; she produced package which
she said she could not open. In 1886 he
loaned her more money npon the same
representations. She said that the
amount of bounds had increased from
100000 to S700,0O0. An error had been
made at Washington, and she was en-
titled to 100000 more. Afterwards she
told Mr.. Van Meter that she had $50, 900
invested in Washington. Continuing
he said that Mrs. Hendricks has prom
ised him $4,000 for his $500. She gave
him notes for that amount. He wanted
to know how she could afford to pay so
much, and she told him the transactions
she was engaged in were legitimate,
but that she could not tell him
what they were, because ''the people
in Washington would not like it and
would cut loose from her. Counsel for
Van Meter said he would show the late
Secretary Manning's signature on the
bonds which Mrs. Hendricks had was
not genuine, and that the woman was
undoubtedly in league with some per-
son or persons in Washington. Mrs.
Hendricks was released on her own
recognizance for further hearing

RAGS AND HEARTS.

1t is very true saying that the poor
are the most charitable to the poor
Ragged clothes very often cover breasts
in which beat hearts whose warmth of
human sympathy is never known by the
jewellers i'll rich mansions. The ragged
army of newSbOyS in Chicago has given
evidence of the truth of the statement.
One of their comrades, upon whom a
widowed mother and two little sisters
depended for support, fell ill.
Long the disease kept hold of him,
and slowly his little stock of money
dwindled. Starvation stared them in
the face, and still he could not rise from
his bed of pain. Then the noble little
fellows who cry the Chicago papers and
who, Arabs as they are, get about as
much sympathy and kindness from the
general public as is shown the veriest
outcaSt. came to the rescue. They
might be clothed in rags indeed, but
they knew what privation meant them
selves too we'll to see one of their num-
Der and those dependent upon him
suffer it.
They organized a unique entertain
ment of a variety order which came off
last night in one of Chicago's public
halls. No outside aid was solicited, but
every newsboy in the city bought a
ticket out of his scanty earnings, and
the hall was packed, a substantial sum
being realized for the sufferer. All
honor to the little heroes. Chicago has
good reason to be proud of them, and
may see even now among them boys
who will some day be numbered among
her most esteemed citizens.
Her charitable people should see to it
that the boys action receives substan-
tial recognition, but to none of them
can be given a reward equal to the
happy consciousness of having aided a
suffering companion over one of the
rough places of life

WILKINS WOES.

When man once gets a reputation
rs marrying man. there is no limit to
the amount of trouble he is likely to get
into. Mr.. WILKINS, formerly of Clev E.
land, and late of st. Paul. is a notable
example. His case not only seems to be
fultillment of the Scriptural prophecy
which foretOld the coming of day
when seven women should take hold Of
one man and insist upon being called
by his name. but it even goes further
than that. Every woman in the coun-
try who has husband lost, strayed or
stolen has got it into her head
that WILKINS is the lost huS-
band in disguise, and is trying to pre-
empt a marriage claim. The law having
thrown its meShes around Mr.. WILKINS
leaves him but little opportunity to adj
Just the conflicting marital claims that
are sought to be established. By this
time he is probably regretting that he
didn't establish his matrimonial enter
prise on a religious basis, and have con-
gress spend several sessions in ineffec-
tual efforts to legislate him out of exist
enpp
