AN 0MINOUS VOICE.

Northwestern Farmer and Breeder. Great
Falis' Mont, and Fargo. North Dakota.I
High or low tariff is destined sooner
or later to be settled at the polls. The
'arllI Issue has already become a party
measure, and it cannot now get awav
from its fate. IL must be settled within
party lines, and the people of these
United States will eventually determine
IT. 10 President Cleveland can he
given the credit of bringing it into line
as party issue, and since democrats
have espoused the cause of free trade
or lower tariff. the republican partv.
perforce, have taken up with protection
This, "a will be proved later on. does
not truly represent the western idea
among western republicans, and as the
tarl1 issue becomes better understood.
we shall hear much about high and low
taflil republicans, and there will have
TO be developed staIesmanship of a yerv
nigh order. if the republican party is
TO be prevented from splitting upontbis
rock.
Farmer and Breeder does NOT he.
lieve that Benjamin Harrison wac
elected president of the United States
by the protectionists. He owes il to
,he republican party, as party Tariff
nad very little 10 do with it i'm the west,
ihe farmers OF Dakota and Minnesota,
and IN fact the farmers and stockmen
OF the entire northwest who gave to
the states and territories their repnbli
can maJorities, are low tariff men. if
we except one class-the wool growers.
however much is made of the state
ment that the republican party rode
INTO power on strictly tariff issue. il
is not fact, and well-informed man do
not claim it. The trouble, be believe.
Is that tariff is not understood by the
masses. Ii is looked upon bv too MANY
as too complex a thing to be under.
stood by them, and thew skin sucb
articles as attempt to explain it. But
we nave always noticed that once a
man Is led to investigate, he discovers
mat 1t IS really a personal matter-it
affects his success: il enters into the
mouse ana touches almost every article
IN dallY use; 1t goes out upon his farm
ana laws heavy tax on all his farm
machinery, tools, and utensils, a tax
that brings him no return i'm any shape.
1t is then that he awakes to an interest
that does not stop until it leads him to
an intelligent opinion.
Farmer and Breeder proposes to be-
gin next month, and follow up IN suc-
ceeding issues, a discussion of this sub
ject, and will try to make it SO plain
that the youngest reader will fully un-
derstand what tariff is, what it means,
how 1t is collected, who is benefited,
and who is supI osed to derive a ben
eft.
We want every reader to follow us
closely, because if you do not under
stand 1t now, the more reason there ia
why you should. When this great
question comes up-as it is bound TO
do-at the great national contest three
years hence, every voter in the United
States should comprehend it. 1t is a
duty each one owes to his state and
country, as well as to himself and his
family. 1t is one of the last great ma
'lonal questions that are to be answer
ed by the people i'm the nineteenth CEN
iury. 1t is high or low tariff, or abso.
lutte free trade?

OFFICIAL MANUAL OF MISSOURI
valuable Work Compiled by Secs
retary of state Lesueur Ready
for DistributiOn.
LFrom the Jefferson City Tribune. |

LFrom the Jefferson City Tribune.I
Capt. ~. A. Lesueur, secretary of
state, has completed the "Official MAN.
ual of the State of Missouri" for the
years 1889 80. The manual contains
over 200 pages of carefully compiled
matter and represents several months
of hard work. II is complete and cor
rect i'll all respects, and is by far the
best work OF the kind ever issued in the
stale. The work received the personal
attention OF Secretary Lesueur, and it
is certainly great credit TO his ability,
patience and industry.
The Introduction contains brief his
tory of Missouri, with numerous com
parsons with other states. The volume
Of agricultural aud mineral products
have been carefully gathered and pre-
~ented III such manner as will not fail
10 attract attention. This is one of the
most pleasing features of the manual.
The book is divided into five parts.
The first gives complete abstract of
the popular vote for president in 1888,
Judges OF the circuit and criminal courts
for lSS6-SS, members of congress in
lSS6-SS, state senators in lSS6-SS, vote
for representatives in 1883.
The second part is devoted to the
United States and state officials. Ii
presents complete list of all the Off.
clals, from the president down. This
part also contains splendid maps of the
congressional districts of Missouri and
the senatorial districts
The third part relates to political his
tory. 1t contains the party platforms
nauonal committees, State and county
committees, state divisions by congress
si0nal districts, map of the judicial
cir cults of Missouri,a roster of the state
officers, etc, and concludes With a
table showing the population of the
large cities III the United States.
Part four takes in large scope of
miscellaneous subjects, such as the
name, location, business, capital, etc,
ni the manufacturing and business
companies incorporated during the
years Of 1887 SS; also, roster of the
registered pharmacists of the state.
The fifth part contains brief biopraph-
ical sketches OF the United states srna
tors, members of congress, members ot
the legislature and all the state and
judicial officers.
We have only described the contents
of the manual briefly and referred to
the more important features of the
work. Beyond question it is book of
great value. The manual was printed
at this office an is a lair sample of tho
fine work now being turned out by the
Tribune printing company.

0Grat. The paper was founded by w.
IA. and ThOs. II. McChcsney and was
entitled the Odessa News. DIR. w. j.
McDuhald edited the News for several
months prior to the time the change in
name was made To that of the Odessa
democrat. DIR. Mcdonald, Thos. II.
McChesmey and julie q. Coe have been
associated at various intervals as local
editor of the Democrat for the mast fiv
aud half years. The present editor
OF the paper assumed control of its col
Imhs without any previous experience,
ana mat we have at times erred is per-
tcctly natural. But no Intentional
wrong has been done any individual
we have fought parties and politicians,
sometimes those of our own political
faith; but never have we criticized any
party, or any man of any paI ty through
malice, or with the design to "get
Gven," in the parlance of the day. We
do not belong TO that school, nor sub
scribe TO the doctrine that "anything
and everything is fair in politics." nei-
ther nave we any respect for the man
or the newspaper that does. The Dem
ocrat will be conducted in the future as
1t has been in the past. We trust that
our friends viii and us to extend its
circulation, if they want orthodox
democracy preached to the people,"
We can testify that the Democrat has
been edited in an honest and manly way
above small meannesses and spites. 1t
has, nevertheless. been a warm adyo-
cafe OF its views, valiant champion of
democracy, and Jealous worker for
the welfare of the community in which
it is printed. We wish it long lite and
pro perity.

The Pail Mall Gazette OF Aug. 21 saws:
"MiSs Mary Anderson has been paving

4 Kiss-By Mistake.

Upon the railway train we met
She had the sOftest, biuest eyes,
A l2ce YOU never could forget
"Si&tren,' with all that that implies,
l knew her once, little girl,
And meeting now Il mutual friend.
Our thoughts and hearts got in whirl;
We talked for miles without much end.
l threw my arm around the seat
Where. just in frnnt, she sideways sat,
Her melting eyes aud face to meet
(And no one wondered much at that),
For soon the station where she left
Would on the sOrrOwiug vision rise.
And least should feel bereft;
l thought tear stood in her eyes.
She was but klth, not kin of mine
Ten wears had passed since last we met 4;
And when, in going. sic did incline
Her lace, twas natural TO forget,
1t seemed so Ike the child knew,
l met her nulf way for that sake;
And, coming near those eyes of blue,
She gently kissed mc-by mlstakeI
She saw her error, and straightway ran
With flaming bushes, rosy red;
i should not be ne-half man
III thought Of wrong came in my head:
In iact. i take that very srain
And.traYel daily for her sake,
lf she Il ould only come again
Aud gently kiss me-by mistake,

The Late WiIkie Collins.
New York Press.l

William Wilkie Collins, the last Of
the great school of England novelists
whose master and originator was Chas
Dickens, has passed away after a long
and useful life. Borne in 1924 he began
his literary career in early manhood
and quickly achieved an enviable repu.
tation as an accurate delineatior of hu.
man passion and safe though bril-.
liant writer of fiction, which was in
tensely dramatic and interesting with
out being Objectionable from a moral
standpoint. Like the works of other
purely imaginative writers, the novels
of Wilkie Collins are doomed, as con-
Germs general popularity, to oblivion in
the near future, and it is perhaps we'll
that such fate should await them.
He gave the world no picture of his life
and times after the manner of Fielding,
he did not, like Thackeray, try to shame
us into virtue; he did not feel the sense
of duty which compelled Dickens to
illustrate the cardinal virtues and vices;
nor did he stamp out single monstrous
public wrong, like Charles Reade. He
aimed to please and succeed, but other
story tellers have come upon the scene
who cater to the same public taste in
other ways, and popular favor has
turned to the new comers, while the
older friend is left alone.
