The picnic in Mondamin Of last week
turned out to be very thin affair, and
of different object to that stated by the
hand bills. Ross Bros furnished the
"good platform. and it was all right for a
bowery dance, but for plenty OF shade"
and "accomodations for ALL" You coald

was the stand run by Ross Bros, who did
fine business selling gum, fire crackers,
etc. Thirdly, the four speakers turned
out to be Captain Gray, and the way he
gave it to "you Republicans and you
Democrats" wasn't slow. OF course YOU
were to blame for upholding these loan
companies and banks. Oh rats |! Gray,

THE EDWARDS PLATFORM.

The Dakota Pioneer Press correspond
ent has this to say Of Cass countys great
Republican leader Major Edwards
There is more in the candidacy of Maj.
Edwards than his personality. There is,
as his platform adopted by the convention
asserts, readjustment OF the system Of
taxation, to the end that the producer may
be fully protected There is more than
this platform expresses. Edwards has for
months advocated the taxation of raw
lands as high as improved lands. He has
also urged the adoption of license system
so that the burden of taxation might be
shifted to the mid lemen, to the lawyer,
the doctor. the salesman, the merchant,
the broker, the professor, the publisher,
the banker and the shyster in all trades
and professions. IL man wanted TO do
anything, require him TO take out license
that would cost something, and il il did,
every incompetent fellow who came along
would not be Jumping into trade or pro-
fession. The farmer or producer, in his
economy, should be encouraged and not
discouraged, Taxation should favor him.
Industry should not be the special target
of the tax collector. The contrary is the
Edwards maxim. The improver should
receive the advantage and the drone get
the disadvantage. There should be
premium on industry and a tax oh idle
ness The farmers in Dakota pay the
taxes, and they are at the same time about
tie only producers in the territory. The
Major argues that the farmers should be
taxed less that society might prosper. We
are aiming mt larger and more diversified
production on the farm. and taxes should
not stnngle the infant in its crrdle. The
unused land. he says. should be taxed
mere than 1t is, and il the holder or spec
ulalor cannot afford to pay the tax i'm

vation. Hence large prosperity y
The platform further states
I'VE believe that grain in the hands OF
the producer should be free from ASSESS

s6r the reason that the farmer has paid
taxes on the land. on the machinery ana
teams used in its production, and 1t ought

the specuIator or middleman, and we ex-
poct our members Of the Legislature to Sc
cure modification the laws so as to
prevent double taxation. We demand
ais, that mortgages upon land and chat
Ties shall be taken into consideration in
tha levy OF taxes. AS the merchant is
antitIed TO deduct debts from credits in
making returns for taxation, there seems
po GOOD reason Why the farmer should

popularItv Of Army Omcer..

In few matters has fashion changed
more radically than I'm the esteem in which
the army is held. Thirty years ago, Henri
de Pene, whom they have just laid in his
last resting place, lampooned the subs"
numerically. He got some bad sword
thrusts, It is true, for his reward, but the
public took his part pretty generally. No
one cared to have young officers in their
houses, and even II they did not tear the
ladies' dresses with their spurs, as he
said, and eat more ice and drink more
champagne than ought 30 have fallen to
their share, they were not welcome guests
the uniform was discredited. Now, 1t
is the open sesame to the most exclusive
salon in the capital. All the young
heiressess and daughters OF the nobility
are snapped up by the lieutenants and
sub-lieutenants. A wedding without q
good show Of uniforms is poor affair,
and a bridegroom In q black coat looks
half ashamed OF himself. II Is their turn
now.--Paris Cor. Argonaut

Paris, Matrimonial Agencies.

The police divide the matrimonial agen-
cies into three classes. The first category
has for ordinary clients the nobleman
without fortune and the high government
functionary who has been retired on q
pension. The feminine element is gener-
ally recruited arong the foreign colony,
orphans with dowry and rich widows
who bore themselves TO death in the prov
inces. The second class agents negotiate
with lower grade functioBaries, retired
officers and middle class folk, who are
''poor but honest In the third class is
comprised all the agencies that accept no
matter who, provided they can extort a
good commission for their services. This
classification is doubtless an arbitrary
one, but 1t is commodious for police re-
quirements. In the best Of these agen-
cies, little II any advance payment is
required, but the applicant signs an
agreement TO give 3 or more per cent. on
the dowry within certain length Of
time. hardly need add that the wiliest
agents manage to 'touch" commission
from both parties.--Francis Leland in

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-

Of the other Chicago daes to the blanket

and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving alk
the news, and at the same time the good sense toi
present it in concise form The result of such
condition Of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal jour-
nalistic growth the most important one unques.-

managers that the "cheap paper should be cheap

complete, its editorial discussion as able and its
general toae and character as pure and hcathfuf
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the "cheap paper may easily be even at its
reduced price. -

rates number of elegant porkers
These animals are not stall fed, but
good deal better; they are roos'
| fed. During the past few months
they have feastef on turkey, chick
en- and duck. These fowls were
reared with great care on the best
imported hen feed, and the pigs
ate them regularly three times a
day.
If fat, bran-fed fowls will not i'm
part flavor to pork we wot not what
will.
Every time the hogs were fed
they would turn up their shoots at
the swill and go right on crunching
the unfortunate fowls that had
strayed into their pen.
The day before Christmas they
broke out of the pen and got to a
nice 18-pound turkey hanging in
the wood shed.
A man who had spent an hour re-
moving the feathers from this fowl
was heard to make some loud re-
marks about the hogs, while he
hunted round for a long piece of
scantling he could not find.
Over two hundred fowls have
been used up in fattening these
hogs. A chicken a day has been
the regular diet of each hog. We
have tried hard to reduce the meal
to a weekly edition, but without
success.
The hogs figure out that the
ranch ought to support a daily
chicken dinner.
In few days the supply of
chickens will be gone, and the sud-
den change from chicken to ordin-
airy swill might SO shock the pam
pered system of these hogs as to
cause death. We are anxious to
sell them at once.
