The following neat compliment to The
Senator from >tcarns is from thcco1umrs
Of the Iioncer-prcss ofrecent date, and is
idly justified by the record Mr. Keller IS
making is St. Paul:
The genial and ever pleasant German,
the fellow citizen Of every man in the leg
islature, and who can ALWAYS be depend
ed upon to do whatever he says he VIII
do, is Senator Keller of Stearns county
AIR. Keller is democrat. and his repub-
acan-brethren say he ought to come over
to their party, as all good fellows should
do. But the Senator is in democratic
county, and believes in the principles of
Jefferson, and nothing can move him.
Mr.. Keller IS improving as an orator. He
makes speech now with q great deal of
deliberation, and measures his words
carefully. Those who know Mr.. Keller,
best like him most. 1t is not difficult for
Mr.. Keller to get what he wants in the
senate, and there are very few senators
that will not do him good turn.

The farmers of the country are nov
much worried over the twine trust. They
are holding meetings and pouring in
petitions to the legislature of the several
states TO take some action or to give
them some law to defeat the combine
lions formed to make the farmers
pay extortionate prices for binding
twine.
The farmers are waking up a little at
last to protect themselves against the
greed of the monopolists. Their votes
last fall were largely deposited in favor
of system of protection which reaches
its full fruition in the development of
these trusts.
The tendency of protection il to cen
tralize capital, to destroy competition
and give few monopoly in certain
lines of business, and THESE favored few
are thus able TO combine, control the
output and to an already protected arti-
Gle of necessity add an additional and
excessive price over the cost of produce
ton by aid of a trust.
| During the last presidential campaign
the democratic party gave warning of
the evils TO follow the adoption of a
| policy of protection which must eventu
ally encourage and create the formation
OF these gigantic monopolies. But the
assurance of Blaine that trusts were but
paltry affairs and of a mere private
character. with which the president nor
congress had anything to do. quieted the
fears of the republican farmers who, it
seems, were too ready to put party above
elf-interest.
No protectionlst, if candid, would con
tend that the farmer is benefited by a
protection tariff. The farmer is COM
PEELED to sell in the markets of the world
and to purchase ct home in a market
where the cost of everything he needs is
enhanced by protective tariff. The wage
workers of the country in the last cleo.
ton voted more inteligently for their
interests than did the farmers. In all the
large manufacturing states and the great
commercial emporiums of the country the
laborers working in the protected manu-
factories, which are mainly benefited by
the tariff, voted against the tariff. But
in the agricultural states and in the large
rural districts where the farmers were
paying tariff tax aggregsting As per
cent on clothing. twine, salt, lumber. ETC.,
the republican vote-which represented
the policy of continued protection-was
increased.
The enormous prices that must now be
paid by the farmers for the benefit of the
twine trust may tend to lead them in the
direction of self protection and to oppose
tariff designed to protect these mon OPP
lies -Elgin Democrat

A Remedy.


The Monmouth Democrat offers thi.
suggestion to the farmers OF defeating
the twine trust combination:
There are plenty of old, middle-aped,
and young men in this country who can
tell the farmers how they may defeat the
infamous twine trust. These men have
been in the harvest field when there was
no self-binder within hundred miles OF
them. They have passed many furnaces
heated days in fitting bands of straw
around the comfortable bellies of hand
made wheat sheaves. They are not too
old do IL again.
What has become of all the farmers
and their sons and their hired hands ?
what has become of the iron muscled
giants who swung the grain>cradles of q
generation agor Has farming advanced
so Tar that now il is helpless in the
clutches OF petty trustH II the sturdy
wheat-raisers object to being robbed by
pack Of Irvine -twisters they ought to
adopt the half>forgotten methods of
their fathers. Bring out the cradles and
the jugs Of metheglin! Call out the boys
before daylight and set them to binding
sheaves in the dew. Call in the neigh
bors and get little fun out of it if YOU
can. The work is hard enough in all
conscience.
No. says the farmer, that day has gone
by. The boys have been to college and
their hands are tender. They object TO
breaking their backs over straight laid
swath when they can do twenty times az
much work at the cost OF one twentieth
the exertion with the aid of gathering
machine. They declare that the world
has advanced too far to be fed on bread
made from sheaves toilsomely bound by
hand. But Is this so2 II it is, inven-
tons have taken away much of the far
mer's old time independence while adj
ding to his comfort and wealth.

was President. In a speech delivered

II do lift up hearty prayer that we
may never have a President who will
not either pursue, and compel his Cab
met advisers to pursue, the civil SER
vice policy pure and simple and upon
just basis, allowing men accused to
be heard, and deciding against them
only upon competent proof and fairly
either have that kind of civil SER
vice, or, for Gods sake, let us have
that other frank and bold, If brutal
method of turning men and women
out simply for political opinions. Let
ms have one or the other"
Yes, "let US haye one or the other

from cant and hypocrisy. If We must
have the spoils system, let it be "frank

THE acquittal Of Mellow, the slayer
Of Col. F. w. Dawson Of Charleston,
wilt not occasion much surprise. The
death Of Col. Dawson was calamity
to the country. He was chiyalrous--
his chivalry cost him his life. He
made q serious mistake in calling Nc
Dow to account without first having
taken measures to protect himself from
attack. He took his life in his own
hands when he pursued that course,
He lost it, and the courts, looking at
the cold facts in the case, concluded
they had no right to weigh McDow's
character in the scales against his life
No doubt those who are wholly unpre-
JUDGED will not care to question the
verdict Of the jury. The fact that il
was so easily reached will confirm the
general impression that all the facts ir
the case have not yet been told. Per
haps they will never be.--Memphi,
