Afore Sue went ter town ter school
She sung ez nat'ral ez bird;
She didn't MARBLE then by rule,
But when her pipin' voice heard
I'd quit work jest ter hev tune;
The men about the place did too:
But sence she came from school last June
She don't sing like she use ter do.
In singin I'm q tarnal Ounce,
Somehow l can't stick ter an air:
But when a lot sings all ter once
growl a few words here an there.
But Sue, q baby, tired o. play,
Inter her mothers arms 'ud Green
An in her drowsy little way
She'd kind o. sing herself to Sleep
, I liked her HYMN tunes mighty we'll:
Her hymns in genral struck me right.
Like Dennis" an old SILVER Street,
Ana there was one-ny favorite.
Now how was IL that tune began?
only recollect one bit
Her brow was like the snowdrop an
Her throat was like the swan's"-that's it
An then there was song about
'Endearin young charms" an ez how
II she should lose them charms, no doubt.
The Teller ID love her jest eZ now.
An one about a gal whose beau
Was not well fixed an went away;
Then ez her fathers funds was low,
She took a chap named robin Gray"
An now all day she carerwauls
Four hours or so an never fails
At lots O. monkey-shines she calls
Her exercsin' an her scales.
The same consists o prancin' roun
With whirlgigs and curlykews
An caperin' up an dwindlin' doun
With Nc more tune then squeaky shoes.
An IL so be her ma observes:
Yer pa would like ter hear ye sing"
She then begins ter rack my nerves
With some consumed Eyetalian thing.
These songs that's writ in furrin tongues
Are mighty high toned tunes may be;
They may be good ter test the lungs
But words jest makes a song Ter me.
I don't enjoy her singin' much,
Is'pose my taste is kinder rough.
An all the things she's larned Is such
Gymnastic hyfalutin' stun.

But still wisht she'd let US hear

gushing features are unprecedented
power and unprecedented weak

that the Democrats were correct in
their claims that Merriam INDUCED

nomination. Everything tends to
show that the Minnesota govern
ment is rotten beyond description,
but nothing has yet happened which
would lead one to imagine that the

We suppose many people think
newspaper men are persistent duns,
says an exchange. by way of COM
parison let us suppose farmer
raises 1000 bushels year, and he
sells this out to 1000 persons in all
parts of the country, a greater por-
tion of them saying, 81 will hand
you dollar in short time" OF
course the farmer don't want to be
small about it, says alright. Soon
his 1000 BUSHELS of wheat are gone.
but he has little money to show for
it, and the farmer then realizes
that he has frittered away his whole
wheat crop and that it's value is due
him in thousand dribbles, conse-
quently he is seriously embarrassed
in his business, because his debtors,
each owing only 81, treat it as a
small matter, and, of course, think
it would not help much. Contin-
uing this business year in and year
out, as a publisher does, how long
could or would the farmer stand it?
A moments thought will convince
anyone that a publisher has cause
for persistent dunning.-TErwin

The Record Should Suffice.

Notwithstanding the legal light
recently turned in on the question of
Ordway's residency and largely in
auenced. no doubt, by the fee paid
by Ordway. thousands of people are
yet in doubt on the question, and on
this point the Northwest News,
Grand Forks, seems to touch an
important chord cit will be remem.
bered that at the time when three
fourths of the republicans of Dakota
had fired charges of all kinds in at
Washington. against Ordway, and
when he had asserted that he could
buy all the affidavits in Dakota at
dollar a piece that he wanted, Mr..
Ordway was indicted for malfeas-
ances in office. by arepublican grand
jury, under a republican admins
tration. This was SO near the close
of his term as governor that Mr.
Ordway left the territory IN disgust.
However, he engaged the ablest at
torneys of the northwest, that money
could retain who appeared before
the republican court, not to deny
the numerous charges against N. G.
Ordway as governor of Dakota, but
to demur to the Indictment. AS
every lawyer knows. under common:
law rules, the demurrer was an ad-
mission of the facts charged in the
indictment. In other words, the
astute attorneys for Mr.. Ordway ap-
peared for him, to admit that what
ever the republican grand jurors
had presented on their oaths was
not false and it matters little what
it was, or whether it was true, the
defense they made was this: Cover
nor Ordway was a U. S. official,
same as U. S. counsel, or revenue
collector who does not lose his resi-
dence by change of inhabitancy.
Whatever he may have done, what
ever malfeasance he may be guilty
of, he is not subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the territory, though he did
it under territorial law. He is
not amenable to the territorial law.
He is not a citizen of the territory.
but merely sojourner, by virtue Of
a U. S. appointment. The court de-
cided the point we'll taken and the
culprit was ordered discharged. In
pursuance of this finding, Mr.. Ord
way lost no time to pack his carpet
bag with true Yankee frugallty and
HE himself back to the granite hills
to dwell once more in marble halls
and denounce his republican assail-
ants as unworthy of belief"

Strengthens the Money Powe,

If "the tariff ridden" people of
the United States are so impover-
ished, why are our free trade
English capitalists so anxious to
purchase our manufactures
There are literally millions Of
English money for investment in
American enterprises.-[F Fergus
Falls Journal.
English money is flooding this
country because the monied inter-
ests are on top here. If those
shrewd Englishmen can make
money in their tight little Island,
how much more can they not amass
in this land where they are specially
favored, lin this land of resources
where the people, SO far. seem to
stand the strain uncomplainingly.
Doubtless it is the same class of
men coming here with capital who
for hundreds of years fought the
enactment Of the corn laws in Eng
land and who were defeated only
forty years ago. The Englishmen
are abating none of their home in
terests, they hold fast to the custom
which gives them free raw materials
and the customs which make them
masters of the seas and commercial
friends in every seaport on earth,
and by the time the busy and taffy-
fed Americans find hard pan and
are awakened to their true handi-
capped condition, the shrewdest
and most comprehensive business
men on earth--the Englishmen. will
have a vice-like grip on the COM
mercial affairs to this country and
will continue to aid this great accom-
plishment of capital robbing labor
and the art of production. Ger.
tainly, the time is coming even in
America that this plan of taking
values and property away from the
masses and awarding it to the few,
through an overdone revenue sys-
tenn, will be wiped out. But in the
meantime don't marvel at English
money coming to the states. The
Englishman has shown and is now
demonstrating that he is a business
man, with human seliishness.
