recent indications that the farmers are
realizing that they have been duped
long enough, and are making up their
minds to assert their manhood and in
dependence. III is about time they
should. Minnesota is an agricultural
state, ana yet one would not suspect it
from the character of our state legisla-
ton. Farming is the principal indus
try, and yet every other interest is bet
ter protected than the agricultural. Nor
is Minnesota the only state in which this
condition of affairs exists. Iowa, Wis
cOnSin, Kansas and Illinois are all in the
same boat; but, like the farmers of Min
nesota, the farmers of these other states
are likewise getting their eyes open, and
if there isn't mighty turning over in
the politics of the West at the next ma
tional election it will be a great wonder.

Rank and Distinction.

Buffalo Times.
The strife for rank and distinction in
social circles is as fierce in small viii
lagos as in large cities. Two young
women were discussing the claims of a
candidate for the highest social honors
in the circles to which they belonged.
One of them said:
"Have you heard about Maggie DIS

''Oh, indeed have.''
"W0n't she give herself airs nOw?9'
"Of course she will. l don't suppose
she'll condescend to notice us common

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 2.-FOr the first
time in fourteen years a Democratic
mayor and Democratic board of alder

THE FARMERS COMPLAINT

The farmers are after the governor
and the railroad commissioners with a
sharp stick because of their feeble eff
forts to enforce the law empowering
the commissioners to establish rates On
all railways in this state. The resolu-
tionS adopted Ivy the Elbow Lake alli-
ance may be taken as fair expression
of the sentiment of the farmers of this
state respecting the matter. Admitting
that the rates have been somewhat
reduced during the last year, the reso-
lutions assert that they are still unjust.
unreasonable and oppressive, and
they call npon the governor
to see to it that there is
Stricter enforcement of the law.
This pathetic appeal of the farmers for
fairer treatment will not be needed. 1t
SO happens that the governor is not
making business Of coming down on
the railroads just at this time. The
railroad commission is his own crea
ti0n, and the fair inference is that the
commissioners are doing their work lust
about as the governor wants it done.
The time is coming around when there
is to be state convention held in this
state to make another gubernatorial
nomination. It is nOiSed around that
the governor is looking to re-
nomination. Judging from past ex-
periences, the governor is justified
in the opinion that the railroads are
more potential factors in nominating
conventions than the farmers. Looking
at it in this light,it is natural to suppose
that he would rather stand in favor
with the railroads than the farm
ers-at least until after the nom-
nations are all made. After the
convention it will he time enough
To tiatter the farmers with fair promises
of what will be done during the next
term. That is the way these politicians
always treat the farming classes-they
hold the promise to the ear but break it
to the hope. And, sigular enough, the
farmers have been submitting to
this sort of treatment year aft
er year until the politicians
have got to believe that the farmers
have no independence. 1t is possible,
however, that the politicians will slip
up on that one of these days. There are

A Buffalo man at present in Chicago

usually does a jack pot came along.
One of the party opened it
for IS and the next man raised
it like amount. Two others
stayed in and all drew two cards. The
betting ran along until there was about
500 in the pot. When it came to the
show down it was found that one man
had four aces, another four trays, the
third four fOurS and the last four fives.
This was not all; the dealer had two
SKIES, but if he had come in he would
have made four skies. The others had
three of kind before the draw. The
Buffalo man in Chicago takes the prize
without a struggle. but he vOucheS for

in two pieces. At the end of the meal l

the other in my pocketbook, with the re-

The Argus also says that Blaine thinks
protection is good thing, and the mole
we have of it the better. That is ex-

what the Minnesota Republicans, as a
