At Sauk Center it has become quite q
serious thing to get drunk since the act
passed by our last legislature making
drunkenness crime. Several men
have been convicted of drunkenness
and set to work upon the streets under
r the provisions Of the law. Perhaps a
!; few days work OH the streets may make
some Of the topers little cautious
about taking too much.-M0Wer Trans

: Shall the press after an elapse of
many years Of freedom be Muzzled?
Shall the liberty of 1t be destroyed by
having placed upon it shackles In the
hands of few paltry legislators, who
they know their own? We offer the
prophecy that full accounts will be
published and read, and in full con-
tempt too of this law, which seeks to
remove the right OF the press to pub
lish legitimate news. And we are will
ing to wager too that nothing will re-
suit the refrOm as the law is as uncOn-
stitutional as one which would convict
Brown or any murderer without the
right of trial.-New Ulm Review.
When Col. LOunsberry was in Duluth
recently he talked very freely Of his de-
signs on a Dakota congressional seat,
and were it not for his innate mOdesty,
it is believed he would have detailed his
ample qualifications for the position.
He did go far enough to say that he was
better adapted to congressional duties
than to any other, and that he felt sure
of accomplishing more in a given
length of time than. any other two men
in the house. The people of North
Dakota should weigh these facts well
before sending any other citizen to
Washington.
Is the Republican party keeping faith
with the men who went to the front II
the war OF the Rebellion? Such is the
question asked by the Rochester Record
and Union last week, and we wish it
could be answered in the affirmative.
That paper says that the soldier ele-
ment is constantly ignored In that
neighbOrhOOd and the same seems to be
the case everywhere. The old soldiers
are constantly ignored after election,
and if politician then puts one arm
around him you may be sure the other
hand is in his pocket. Comrades give
the politicians as wide berth as you
would the pestilenee that walketh in
sdarkness.-Fairmont News.
The new law to prohibit drunkenness
is being put into force IN many parts Of
the state-here, as well as elsewhere.
In carrying out the provisions of that
law all should he treated alike, and vic
tins should not be selected, made drunk
through trickery, arrested and fined
through spite, while others, who are In
allowed to go scott free. Let the law be
enforced, but let it be lawfully done.-

TRUE AMERICANlsM.

The New York World is inclined to
think that our government made mis-
take in becoming party to the Berlin
conference, and in support of this view
quotes from WASHINGTON's farewell
address that paragraph which admon-
fshes the young nation to steer clear Of
permanent alliances with any portion of
the foreign world. While admitting the
soundness of this principle, and recog-
nizing the wisdom Of its general appli-
cation, still we are disposed to take
issue with the World in regard to its
special application to the Samoan COM
plication. The Samoan conditions are
exceptional. This country is no wise
responsible for the trouble that
originated there. We simply found
ourselves involved In quarrel, with
only two ways to get out Of the diff
Guilty. One was to fight our way out,
the other to submit all questions in dis
pute to conference. The latter alter
native was chosen, and the wisdom of
the choice promises to be vindicated by
the amicable settlement now in process
of arrangement.
Still, we agree with the World this
far-that when this Samoan business has
been finally adjusted, the limit will have
been reached in the direction of form
ing political alliances with foreign pow
ers. We do not want any more Samoan
cases on our hands. nor do we want ever
again to get mixed up with those bully
ing land grabbers of the universe, JOHN
BULL and Prince BISMARCK. Asarule,
it is safer policy to fight than to treat.
Let it be at once and forever under
stood that the settled policy of the
American government is to mind its
own business and to compel the Euro
pean governments to do the same.

ABANDoNs THE PLATFORM.

It Is announced as matter of the
highest import that, WANAMAKER has
changed his mind about the advisability
OF the one-cent postage rate, and will not
recommend it. Republican papers do
not all agree with him, but it is noticea-
BILE that neither the apostle of apparel
nor the party organs make any refer
ence to the fact that the reduction was
one of the reforms in the party plat
form last year, covered by the assur-
ance that there were to be no violations
of pledges. The insinuation was that
other parties made promises good only
for the campaign, but the Republicans
were above such practices. 1t is not
thinkable that the concentrated wisdom
of the party could have been fallible..
If the change was needed year ago,
the need has not grown less since. The
almanac plan may be as good with Re-
publican platforms as any others.

A FADING LANDMARK.

There is good deal of poetic injus-
tice in this world. The author of
Home, Sweet Home," died homeless;
and now the author of the homestead
law is about ready to drop into a
pauper's grave. GEORGE w. ALLEN, Of
New Albany, o., is now in his eightieth
year-a childless, friendless, money
less old man; and yet it was by
his exertions alone that the 160-
acre homestead act was passed. He
took up the subject when it was nov
city, and never ceased his exertions
until he saw his great principle triumph.
He spent a fortune in his philanthropic
work. Now that he is old and poor, the
Free Land Club of Columbus, o., have
taken up his case, and are asking for
nickel subscriptions for his relief. If
the thousands of families who have
gained their homes through his phllan-
thropic efforts will respond to the ap-
peal. the octogenarian's last days will
be made comfortable.

The Verge Of Disaster.

CORY, Pa, May pa narrow Cd
cape from disaster occurred on the
the New York & Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday at the "Go0se Hollow" trestle
between BrOckton and Prospect. The
trestle is 500 feet long and 90 feet high.
The operator at Brockton forgot to de-
liver an order to hold a train until an.
other arrived. The two trains were
approaching the trestle from opposite
directions, around curve, when a
farmers little boy, who was working
in pasture near by, saw the danger,
ran up the track and tagged one of the
trains. The train was unable to stop
until it reached the end of the trestle.
The engineer of the other train also
managed to stop his train just before
reaching the trestle.

THE SIMPLE FALLEN.

She grew in purple innocene,
In wood and sheltered nook:
Her bed was moss all hung with dew.
Her mirror was The brook.
The little world, that round her feet
With bloom and song was rife,
She thought q thing most marvellous,
And dreamed that this was life.
How are the simple falleni
The woods know her no more;
But through great cities streets she walks,
Or fingers at a door,
Where men and maids and matrons,
Go by, or in to shop;
Where scores of Fashions devOtees
For her their pennies drop.
She trembles on bonnet top;
She nestles at the throat
OF maidens fair, and at you stares
From many an overcoat.
She glads my lady's mantle,
She smiles in festive halls:
She stands beside q blushing bride.
She goes to all the balls.
She decks the head Of pranciug steedA
With Fashion goes to ride:
No wonder that the violet's head
Is fairly turned with pride!

SENATORIAL PRERoGATIvEs.

President HARRIsON's disposition to
punish Illinois for Its loyalty to GREsH-
AM has resulted in family row in the
Republican party Of no small proper
tons. In addition to that, it has pre-
cipitated fight between the president
and the two Illinois senators, which
promises to be of unusual interest, not
so much because of the personal mat
tiers involved as on account of the prin-
ciple that enters into the contest re-
lating to the respective powers of the
appointments. Senators CULLQM and
FARwELL have revived the question
touching senatorial prerogatives that
CoNKLING and PLATT raised against
the GARFIELD administration, and,
judging from the determined stand they
have taken in the matter, they propose
to fight to a finish. It is to be hoped
that they will, for this is question
that sooner or later must have a definite
settlement.
The Illinois senators are in better
position to make fight on this line
than CONKLING and PI.ATT were eight
years ago. To all outward appearances
CoNKLING inaugurated his fight purely
in vindication of the spoils system, and
it was we'll known that he was largely
actuated by a feeling of intense per-
sonal hostility to Mr.. BLAINE. Conse-
uuently, there was nothing on his side
to excite public sympathy. And then
to add to his misfortune came the tragic
termination Of the GARFIELD regime,
which turned the tide of public senti-
ment IrreSistibly against him. In con-
trast with this condition of affairs, the
Illinois senators are known to be the
victims of political ostracism which
was established purposeiy to punish
them for their adhesion to the
cause of GRESHAM. Consequently,
they start into the fight with public
sympathy aroused in their behalf, which
Of itself is mighty advantage. If
senatorial prerogative, they have the
best opportunity that has yet been Of
fered of bringing it into public notice
and of securing for it popular indorse-
ment.
The Illinois senators must realize,
however. that in their endeavor to es-
tablish this principle of senatorial pre-
rcgative they are going in opposition to
the traditions of century. There is a
popular theory that the appointing
power resides exclusively in the execu-
tive department, and thata attempton
the part of the senate to arrogate this
power is simply an act of usurpati0n.
We say that this is the popular theory,
and the one usually adopted by political
writer's, and will stand as an obstacle in
the way Of the Illinois senators. And
yet it is a singular fact that the consti-
tuition ifseit does Tot warrant any such

A FLAX REVOLUTION
Promised by q Member Of the
Agricultural Departments

Promised by q Member Of the
Agricultural Department.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Since the re-
cent publication in these dispatches of
the letter received by Prof. Willets, as
sistant secretary of agriculture, re-
specting the existence of a machine
that will take the flax fiber from the
stalk without wetting, the mail of the
department has been burdened with
letters on the subject, showing a ma
tional interest. One of the letters re-
ceived was from a manufacturer
in the Northwest who has in
vested nearly 100000 in the
business of fax manufacturing,
which has produced deep impression
at the department. The writer saws he
has, made two trips to Ireland and Bel
gium and has seen the operations of
the machine referred to in the original
letter, and he confirms all that it
claimed. He further agrees with the
original writer, that the country is on
the verge of great revolution in the
production and manufacture of flax.
Considerable interest is shown in the
correspondence in the success of the
experiment of growing flax more
abundantly as solution of the difficult
ties and burdens which, it is said, are
forced upon the farmers OF the
Northwest by the twine trust. The let
ters say that the price of twine has been
increased by the trust until it costs the
farmer bushel of oats for a pound of
twine. and they are clamoring for relief.
In Michigan the legislature appointed a
committee to investigate and report
upon the expedieney of introducing the
manufacture of tine into the prisons as
means of relief, but their inquiries
developed the fact, Prof. Willetts says,
that the corner of the trust extended to
the fax question, the whole subject of
the growth of fibrous plants, especially
ramie. hemp aud iute.
