WHY JOHNSON WAS DEFEATED

WHY JOHNSON WAS DEFEATED.
In the course Of an interview with the
Fargo Argus Mr.. johnson over-shoots
the mark in sizing up the motives of the
opposition to him in the recent senatorial
contest, but closes with the following
patriotic declaration:
What effect this political crime will have
upon our immediate future is difficult to
forecast. can only speak for myself.

doctrines of our party as firmly as do in

ness Of those principles or my abiding
faith in them. Under no circumstances
could have proven falthless to the pOliti-
cal convictions of a lifetime and the re-.
publican traditions of the three generations
in my family.
Mr.. Johnson's actions during and after
the recent senatorial struggle has raised
that gentleman somewhat in the estima-
tion of those who have watched and had
reason to criticise his political career
heretofore. AS the TRIBUNE stated the
morning after the election of the second
United States senator, Mr.. johnson
leaves the struggle stronger man than
when he entered the contest, and he has
claims on the republican party which
it cannot we'll afford to disregard. The
utterances of the Grand Forks Herald
about Mr.. johnson being defeated for
the senate by ''dastardly trick" sug-
gests some remarks at this time-a little
inside history regarding the campaign.
Mr.. johnson was not at any time the
real choice of majority of the republi-

Wise Words.

The man that guesses at proba-
bilities often overreaches the man
that waits for the truth.
Truths differ. Sometimes they are
told to a mans face and sometimes
behind his back.
What sad faces one always sees in
an asylum for orphans. 1t is more
fatal to neglect the heart than the
head.
So our lives 60 on the river ends
we don't know where, and the sea
begins, and then there is no Jump
ing ashore.
No marriage will prove failure
as long as the wife continues to
think her husband was the best man
at her wedding.
They who are most weary Of life,
and yet are most unwilling to die,
are such who have lived to no pur-
pose who have rather breathed than
lived.
Love in its varied phases can ac-
quire purity or dignity only when
guided by inward power over our
selves; that is in itself the very
germ ofnature.
Sweetness of temper Is not an ac-
quired but natural excellence and
therefore, to recommend 1t to those
who have it not. may be deemed
rather an insult than advice.
The force of reason is to protect
the right, which always prevails as a
whole, regardless of the extent the
individual abuses his freedom; who
is free, and proved by the fact that
he abuses the freedom.

At the Paris Hippodrome the chief
attraction for the season has been
the spectacle of lion taking cques-
trian exercises-the animal really
mounting on the back of horse and
being carried several times round an
Enclosure. The receipts accruing
from this novel performance are sta
ted to amount up to the present to
more than 100000.

The fountain of perpetual youth
was one of the dreams of antiquity.
1t has been well-nigh realized in
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which purities
the blood, gives vitality to all the
bodily functions, and thus restores
to age much of the vigor and fresh
ness Of youth.

asked Clarence, his face suddenly set
and stern; he did not look at the
burning eyes and writhing lips of
the man, but fixed his gaze on the
terrified face of the girl, who was
striving vainly to free herself Of the
cruel hand on her shoulder.

"Let her gol" commanded the

II love her!" repeated the Span
lard between his set teeth.
"Clarence !"
She put out her hands to him with
the hushed cry.
Again he commanded Cola to re-
lease her, and again the half mad
Spaniard refused to do SO.
With a muttered execration, his
temper aroused at last, Clarence lift

girl.
In an instant the hand of the Span
lard was thrust into his bosom. and
with mad spring and the fiercest
oath of the Spanish tongue he was
upon Clarence, one hand upon his
throat, the other lifted high above
his head, slender knife grasped in
his sinewy fingers.
Hilda gave utterance to a shrek
that rang wild and loud through the
building then weird, white flame
seemed to envelop her, to fill the
room, to stream, red and binding,
upon the descending blade of Cola's
knife; crash which seemed to rend
the world sounded about her, and
she fell unconscious to the floor.
When she recovered Clarence was
bending over the sofa on which she
lay, his face as white as death, his
form tremulous, but life still throb-
bed freely in his every vein, love in
his eyes.
Others were in the room, but she
saw only him.

Mr.. Alverez; 1 cannot listen to YOU
The face Of Cola Alverez darken-

Spanish face, with lustrous eyes of
gloom, in which swept flames that

straight nose and full, impetuous lips;

shy girlhood and its starry eyes of

He lifted her hands as he spoke
Iand crushed his burning face against
them, while short sob crossed his
lips which told her more than his
disjointed sentences how great a love
had burst to flame in the unframed,
impetuous heart of this child of
kSpain-this man who had come from
his own sunny land to love her with
love which was his DOOM
''Rise, beg Of you'll command

you; I wish You had not spoken so
to me I am not free--I am a prom

A low cry left his suddenly livid
lips; he loosed her hands, clsnched
his own, and sprang to his feet with
a bound like that Of a panther.
"Whose 2"
The question reached her in sort
Of hiss. Ere she could answer vivid,
lingering flash of lightning shot
across the sky without. Its blue
light playing on Cola's face gave it
strange, fierce expression then a
oud, reverberating crash of thun-
Ter, and silence, followed in a mo-
inent by the rush and patter of
hummer rain.
She was very pale, and her sweet

Sand / am to forget you n he
said bitterly. "What if 1 bid him
forget you instead ?"
A transparent color burned hotly
in her face as she turned on him with
girlish impotence and somewhat of
womanly pride.
"Listen to me a moment before
you threaten the man / love, Cola
Alverez," she said, every word ring
ing clear through the storm. "Clar-
ence and / have known each other
since we were children. Our love
has grown as we have grown. In all

never imagine that you have dream
ed of becoming his rival"
"Shall he not?" muttered the Span
lard in his teeth-"shall he not, my
star-eyed senorita ?"
She looked at him timidly, fear
fully, as with down bent head and
hands clenched as in a convulsion he
stood there, his whole undiscipled
soul seeming in harmony with the
tempest that crashed and shrieked
and tore abroad.
Clarence, she knew, was some
place in the house, for it was his
home more than hers, she being but
a ward Of his father, and she trem-
bled lest he and Alverez should meet
ere the latter had somewhat curbed
the demon that looked out from his
dark eyes.
AS the fear smote hera clear must

and in another moment the door
opened, the whistle ceased and Clar.

He, perhaps, was not so handsome
as the Spaniard, but there was that
in his frank, mirthful face which has
won love from women since Time
was young-a touch Of poetry which
did not mar its strength, strength
which did not scorn the fairer, finer
dreams of life, sunny temper under
which slept force and power, the
lightning in the summer cloud.
He and Cola Alverez had met first
a year before in distant city. They
had grown into friends, and when

Yet as the heavy rains fell on the

him, he watched Clarence enter as
he would have watched the most
deadly foe of his life.
The young lover did not at first
observe him, but FASTENED toward
Hilda, with outstretched hands and
eyes alight.
"My dear love, are you all alone ~
he asked softly, drawing her into
his embrace; "does not this wild
