The people of Faulk County have
been agitating the question Of the ad-
Visibility Of bonding the county to
purchase seed wheat for next spring.
providing it is possible under the pres
ent law for the county commissioners
to borrow money for such purpose.
The question has been brought before
Attorney Gen eral Dollard. who gives
his views on the subject as follows:
s.Section l of the article under con-
sheraton prohibits the county from
loaning its credit or making donations
to, or in aid Of, any individual associa-
tion or corporation, except for the nee
essary support of the poor. Does this
exception confer upon the commission
ers or the legislature the power to pro-
vide the desired aid? The question is
not free from difficulty but it seems to
me that the line is to be drawn between
the necessary support of the poor and
the support of the Industries of the
poor. examples of whicl,-other than
the one in view = will suggest
themselves to you. If the proposed
aid is Cor the necessary support Of the
poor, there can he no doubt of the
power to grant it in the manner that is
now, or may hereafter be, provided by
law. If, on the contrary, such aid is
for the support of the industries of the
poor, even though it might result in
} their ultimate prosperity, it does not
appear to me tocome within the excep'
tion.
As to the commissioners having the
power to borrow money, l understand
: their power in that direction to be lin
} tied to the issue of warrants annually
in anticipation of the annual tax, or tn
the extent Of their power to levy an
annual tax, and the issue Of bonds. s,
far as authorized by statute. The leg
! lslature, however, would seem to hav'
ample power to authorize counties Il

In the discussion Of the tariff by the
president is the following which has
the true ring init: "Thesc duties nec-
essarily have relation to other things
beside the public revenues. We can-
not limit their effects by fixing our
eyes upon the public treasury alone.
They have direct relation to the home
production, to wages and to the COM
merclal independence of our country,
and the wise and patriotic legislator
should enlarge the field of his vision to
include all of these"

officers: Reed, of Maine. Speaker; Ed

President Harrison's message while
not partizan document it is very for
chile exponent of the principles of::the
republican party. In no place does he
more e,nphatically declare the purpose
of the republican party to stand by the
people than in the one clause of his
message under the caption TRUSTS
which reads: Earnest attention should
be given by congress to consideration
Of the question how far the restraint of
these combinations of capital. common
ly called trusts is a matter of federal
jurisdiction. When organized, as they
often are, to crush out all healthy com

matters leading to and including the

together with the work of that body,
he concludes in the Following language:

Dreams

S. Walter Norris IN st. Nicholas.
Some tiny elves, one evening, grew mischiev-
GUS, it seems,
And broke into the store-room where the Sand
man keeps his dreams,
And gathered up whole armfuls of dreams all
bright aud sweet,
And started forth to peddle them a-down the
village street.
Oh, youwould never, never guess how queerly
these dreams sold;
Why, nearly all the youngest folk bought
dreams of being old;
And one wee chap in curls and kits gentle
little thing,
Invested in a dream about an awful pirate
king;
maid, who thought her pretty name old
fashioned and absurd
Bought dreams Of names the longest and the
queerest ever heard;
And, strange TO say, lad, who owned all sorts
of costly toys,
Bought dreams Of selling papers with the rag
gedest of boys.
And then dream Of summer and barefoot
boy at play
Was bought up very quickly by a gentleman
And one old lady-smiling through the grief she
tried TO hide
Bought bright and tender visions of little girl
who died.
A ragged little beggar girl, with weary, wistful
gaze,
Soon chose Cinderella dream, with Jewels all
a-blaze-
Well it wasn't many minutes from the time
they came in sight
Before the dreams were all sold out and the
elves had taken flight

Rudeness in Washington.

A well-known society woman here, says the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, told the following story, and was sur
prised that her listeners did not commiserate
her on the indignity she suffered at the hands OF
two strange women. Others had been telling
of the rudeness they had endured from callers,
and my lady thought hers would cap the
climax.
ION one of my afternoons last season, p" said
she, two women whom / had never seen or
heard of, we're ushered into the parlor Mrs
was receiving with me, and we both had
the dearest little pugs in our laps They stayed
fully ten minutes, and as it was quite early no
one else had dropped in. They talked about
everything. One of them asked for whom |
wore mourning, the other fingered my friends
lace gown and asked if it was machine-made.
When they got up to 60, one of them said:
81 heard, madam, that you had two babies.
Seems to me woman had better have her ba-
bies in the parlor with her than her dogs.
1T was the most impudent thing ever heard
of, but that is Washington society for you
Just as if my nurses couldn't take care of the
children
This same woman gave a large dinner party
some time ago in honor of the polished and
courtly members of the Chinese legation. AS
soon as they were seated at the table she horri-
fled her other guests by turning TO one of the
Chinaman and saying. lndulgently:
John hkee Melicca?'
Misinterpretng his look of disgust, she con-
tinued, "Ah, John no speakee 'Englishee."

There has not been much doubt at any
time since the speakership contest began,
that Thomas 3. Reed Of Maine would be
the next speaker. Yesterday he was nom
mated in the caucus Of his party on the
second ballot He was so far ahead Of al
the other candidates on the first ballot that
ss soon as the result Of that ballot was
known, the speakership contest was settled
Mr.. Reed is a very able man, but il Is by
no means certain that he will make a good
speaker. There are several reasons for
hasn't Judicial temperament and he is a
good deal Of partisan. By partisan is
not meant that he is proud Of bis party and
its achievements, but that he is apt to favor
his party when strict justice would
not permit him to do 50. There
are men so constituted that they
think their own party is always right and
the opposition always wrong. Mr.. Reed
appears to be, to some extent, that sort Of q
man. And it is often a very difficult mat
ter for a speaker to refuse to give his party
friends an advantage which they demand
with great deal Of earnestness and deter
mination, but TO which they are not en-
titled.
In the present congress there will be
doubtless very strong pressure brought to
bear upon the speaker in favor of rulings
that will help his party. The majority of
the republicans is very small, and they
want to increase it by unseating southern
democrats. The speaker will be asked,
doubtless, to make up the committee on
election 50 that republicans will have as lit
tie trouble as possible in carrying out their
programme. 1t is probable also that he
will be pressed to make partisan rulings
when these contested election cases are
under consideration.
A federal election law is one of the meas
ures the republicans purpose to pass, and
it is in the power of the speaker to give
them great deal of assistance if he is dis
posed to step aside from strict fairness in
order to promote the aims Of his party.
No man on either side of the House ever
had occasion TO complain of Mr.. Carlisle's
rulings. Indeed, he was so anxious to be
impartial that his own party friends some
times thought that he was too generous to
the opposition. If Mr.. Reed comes any
where near doing as well as Mr.. Carlisle
did he will surprise both sides of the House.
Mr. Reed was so years old last October,
and is graduate Of Bowdoin college. He
is lawyer by profession, but has been so
much in public life that he has never
achieved mach distinction at the bar. He
" as member of the legislature of Maine
from 1868 TO 1870, and attorney general of
that state from 1870 TO 1872 He has
served in congress for ten consecutive
years, the present being his sixth
term. He has beeuathe recognized leader
Of the republican side of the House for sew
eral years, and it can be said that he is
fairly entitled to the honor which his party
friends have decided to confer upon him.

The Clevelands are in the social swim in
New York. and it is no longer necessary to
speculate as to whether or not the select 400
of that city will receive them. In fact, it
never was in order to speculate as to that,
for the only question was whether or not
the Clevelands would permit themselves to
be taken up by the 400. At the fashionable
events in New York Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve-
land are lionized. and when they gave tea
the other night at their new and elegant
residence, those Of the 400 who were invited
fusned pell-mell over each other, so TO
peak, TO see which could get there first.

Let Them Stand Upon Their Merits.

Let Them Stand Upon Their Merits.
The republican congressman from Penn.
sylvania, in their caucus on Friday, refused
to indorse Maj. Carson, of Philadelphia, for
| clerk of the House. 1t is probable that
they would have Endorsed him had not
Senator Quay opposed him. 1t is reported
that the senator said that Carson was only
supported by lot of newspaper fellows
who had no residence and no influence out
side of the District of Columbia.
Maj. Carson has. for long time been the
Washington correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Ledger, and during several congresses
was the clerk of the ways and means com.
mittee. On all the leading questions before
the country he is much better inform ed
than nine tenths of the members of con-
gress. There is no doubt that he is better
qualified to serve Pennsylvania in the Senate
| than Senator Quay, though, of cour SO, as q
political manager he is not to be compared
with the senator. Indeed, he would NOT
permit himself to do such disreputable polit-
ical work as it has been alleged the senator
has done.
II it were not for the Washington CORE
spondents very little would be known of
the men who figure as Lawmakers in Wash
ington. If it had not been for the helu
| they received from newspapers they never
would have reached congress at all. and
perhaps would never have been heard of
outside of their respective counties 1t is a
great pity that the newspapers. in their en-
deavors to help their respective parties, fail
to tell the truth about many of those who,
by means not always honorable, succeed in
pushing themselves into places of promi-
hence.
The newspapers make mistake in lend
ing their assistance to every man who gets
nomination for office, or who wants a
nomination, simply because he belongs to
the party to which the newspaper does.
These men who seek Office ought to be made
to understand that newspapers are not run
for their benefit. When they are seeking
an office they lean very heavily upon the
newspapers, begging for this and that favor,
and they pretend that when they have the
power it will be the greatest satisfaction of
their lives to show their appreciation of the
assistance rendered them.
If they happen to be successful it is gen.
orally difficult to collect from them the cost
of printing their tickets for the election,
and as for making any return for favors
received, they never think of doing that.
AS rule they are a selfish, ungrateful lot
these professional politicians and Office
seekers-and the newspapers ought to treat
them as such. The practice followed by
some newspapers of devoting columns
| of its space to booming some fell
low who is anxious to be nominated
for an office, or has been nominated, is a
| foolish one. 1t is all well enough to give
the candidates Of ones party a dignified
support if they are believed to be good men,
but it is not newspapers business to sing
the praises of every cheeky fellow who has
succeeded in foisting himself upon his
party. They should be compelled to stand
upon their merits. Many of them wouldn't
stand very long.
