Prudent candidates for the North Dakota
senatorships, says the Washington correspond
ent OF the st. Paul Pioneer Press, will train a
weather eye on Ordway. He is dangerous.
Those who leave him out of account may
lament their error in sackcloth. He IL can
didate not to be overlooked or despised-vigi-
liant, vigorous, resourceful. He is an artist in
political combination, and the secret of DO.
ltlcal success in the rev states is likely to be
combination. He is strong, rich, skillful, de-
terlnined. He will march on North Dakota in
few days, horse, foot and artillery-and sup.
ply train. Look out for him.
Gov Ordway has never relinquished his title
to citizenship in Dakota through all bis five
years. residence in Washington. He has main.
tained and thrftily increased his material in
terests landed and capitalized, in the territory.
Through bis relatives and business associates
In Bismarck. he has kept touch with the COM
mercial life and material developments of the
city. Isuppose Bismarck is his political resi-
dence, and will be bis base of operations in
the senatorial campaign. Gov. Ordway's friends
are in North and the bulk of bis enemies in
South Dakota, though lusty crop OF the lat
ter has sprung up In his footsteps wherever
they were planted. But he was the champion
Of Bismarck and the north all through the
tedious capital fight. Division works in his
interest, cutting off the larger part of his enc.
mies and segregating his friends. He has been
hastily adjusting his material relations to the
two-state condition this winter, selling great
blocks of lands in Pierre and elsewhere in the
South, and consolidating bis properties in tho
North. He talks with the utmost frankness
and with sort Of enthusiasm Of his relations
to the territory. He says he has been in WASH
ington all these years looking after the inter-
ests Of Dakota and the Dakota people in con.
gress. Now that the promised land of state.
hood is in full view he feels that he is released
from service here and at liberty to return to
the land where bis heart has always been.

The Minneapolis Evening Journal is, with
out doubt the brightest and best daily pub
lished in the twin cities. Tho Journal contains
all the news of the day without the chaff and
has twelve hours advantage over its morning
contemporaries 1t is truly astonishing to
note the rapid strides which have been made
In the last few years by evening newspapers all
over the country, aud it is not unreasonable to
infer that it will not be many years before tho
leading Journals in the United States will
change from morning to afternoon papers. One
of the reasons for this is that we are nation
Of workers, and have more time to devote to
reading in the evening than we have In the
morning. The Journal has kept abreast of
the times, aud its news service is unexceled
by any paper in the country, This is attested
by the very large circulation which the journal
has attained, for the public will always have
the best.

Coucern;p~ the Cent;-,nI;a

The centipcdcs that live in lhc United States, certainly the northern states. are. for tho most part, harmless. But the same cannot be said of mu!titudcs Of the race residing in the West Indies and other warm climates. In these places the bite of the ccntipedc is not only very painful. but often dangerous. Like some other animals, the appearance of the eentipedc is against him.
 Cenipedcs are quite ready to stand on the defensive when they are attacked, and when they consider themselves in danger. Their disposition to bite renders them rather troublesome bedfellows When they get into a bed, the least move ment of the sleeper over whom they may be crawling, and who can hardly fail to be disturbed by their sharp, pointed feet and claws acting on his skin, is almost sure to provoke venomous bite, which will be frequently repeated if the mid night visitor is not removed from the bed.
 The bite of the centipede is exceedingly painful fer tho moment, and is followed, unless the wound is taken care of in season. by great inflammation and high fever. If the insect is large one, and the Lito i5 severe, life is not infrequently lost, especially if the patient is of a deli cate constitution
 Bishop He5er speaks of centipedes as being very large and poisonous in differ ent parts of India. These insects have occasionally been brought to this country in cargoes of hides from countries where they arc abundant, and where their bite is poisonous. Some years since, man who was employed in unloading vessel in Boston, lost his life ill consequence of bite received from a centipede brought Budget

who were associated with them. Full graf and Waite, by their own confession, took their share of the poodle and were as deep in the mire of guilt as any of the alderman who have already been acquitted. It was not through any com that these rascals have peached on their fellows, it is through no awakening of virtue or sense of justice that they are now anxious to consign their former as- sociates to prison cell and a felon's garb. It is simply craven fear of their own cowardly carcass, a determination to sacrifice others to insure their own safety, and it might reasonably be sus- pected that they would not stop at methods to make surer of their purpose. The men who would sell their honor for a bribe might be expected to invent testimony that would tend to strengthen their story. And it is not too much to believe that much of their testimony is of the kind that honest and honorable jurymen will mix with much salt when balanced in their mental scales.
 It is unfortunate, for the ends of jus tice in the poodle cases, that the strong est evidence to convict rests on the testi- mony of infremers. It is repugnant to the American spirit of honor and fair play that men who shared equally ill the guilt should themselves be able to escape punishment through their treachery to their companions. No words that Col onel Ingersoll or any silver-tongued Demosthenes might utter could cover with more contumely the character of these men than it already bears in the eyes of honest and honorable men. It is for this reason that the eloquent colonel refrained from pouring his whole power of invective, for, as he himself said, to say harsh word to such a man is like striking the face of the dead.

FALL RIVER PROTECTION.

The workingmen are beginning to re- alize that, if they get any protection from the tariff, it is so almighty small that in comparison to what the manu- facturers receive it is a good deal like the shadow cast by fly when compared to that thrown by ar elephant. A new instiu tor of tle bl Igs of p ot Action is found in the condition of things at Fall River.
 Here is an industry that is highly pro- tected. It is shown that the stocks of the mills are at a premium of from g to 150 per cent and are paying dividends of from 10 to g! per cent. Surely, in view of the promises held out to the working men last fall, some share in these i'm mense profits ought to be allowed to them. It was held then that the manu- lecturers could take care of themselves-though it might be ad mitted that nobody doubted it-and that protection was needed chiefly and primarily in the interest of labor. What more natural, in the light of these prom ises, than that the Fall River workers should expect to see their wages restored to the rate from which they were cut when "Cleveland and free trade" carried the day in 1884? What more natural than that they should hold republican en- ployers to their promises and ask them to share, even though very humb1y, the immense dividends that an ahnor- mally protected home market enabled these men to declare on their stocks 1? It were less than human if they should be satisfied to remain uncomplainingly at the vent hole while their bosses lived at the bunghole of the protective barrel.
 Fall River protection is exactly the kind that workingmen get i'll this coun- try. Their own power, through organ ization and strength, is a surer protec- tion for wages than any tariff that was ever invented. And it is pretty safe wagering that the workingmen are fast finding this out. They are making more progress in the campaign of education since the 7th of November than ever hof0ro

A Bangor man has a bright little niece, over whose head but few years have rolled, and who when saying her prayers the other night repeated a line in the Lords Prayer, Narrowed be thy name" The little one was kneeling by her mothers knee, and the latter said:
 "Why, darling, you don't mean 'har- rowed.' Narrowed means broken up and they harrow ground You should say: 'Hallowed be thy name.' Hallowed means holy" The little girl thought for a moment and then her face frightened and she said with a smile: Well, mann. ma, the Lord must think I'm awful funny, for I've said narrowed for ever so long.

X Tenacious Memory.

Up in North Georgia some years ago there was young farmer who was as poor as Jobs turkey. He was very ig- norant, and did not even know his let ter5. One day a tourist paused to rest under q tree where the farmer was eat ing dinner and recited a pretty poem. The young man was pleased with it, and the stranger gave him a written copy. But 1t was useless to a man who could not read. and the traveller had to go over it with his finger, pointing out each word and letter. After his friend left, the countrylnan went home and took his first writing lesson from the written poem. One letter was nlissing-the let ter 2. The next day he walked five miles to sec a neighbor who showed him how to make. it, and then he was master of the alphabet. He got spelling book and a reader, and studied them by pine knot fire. Two years later he visited Mercer university, at Peufield, during vacation time, and the professors showed him through the building. "He ques- toned ne for an hour," said tho profes- sor of chemistry, ''and went away know ing more about the science than some young men who have studied it two terms" And I talked with him an hour,' said tho professor Of English literature, and he extracted from me enough information to fill volume" :" The young fellow had a wonderful mem- ory. It stuck to everything. He en- tered tho university and became noted for his strong, clear style and his varied attainnlcnts. ts.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
