The farmers who voted for Harrison
and high taxes in 1888, and are now
going about with long faces and seeking
in vain for relief, get a pretty loud hint
from the Omaha World Herald: with
a rate Of interest amounting to as much
as the rental Of farm" it says, 'exorb-
liant transportation charges to market,
where he is put into competition with
pauper labor and cheap American-made
machinery, and with double prices
charged him for everything that he and
his family eats or uses or wears, the
answer to the question is not far to seek.
And il, in the face of all this, he still
chooses to support the political party
which is responsible for these evils, most
sensible people will say that it serves
him right"

The lament of one of Montana's
fraudulent senators that Russell B. Har-
rison is allowed to control the federal
patronage of this state, although she
does not control three votes upon any
thing" does not move the public to any
degree of sympathy for the discarded
senatorial pair. The Seattle Telegraph
crisply says of them:
"The Montana occupants Of seats in
the senate are bitterly complaining that
President Harrison is, in the matter of
the appointment Of postmaster in that
state, much inclined to take his sons
advice rather than theirs. They allege
that Prince Russell cannot control three
votes in Montana, and his recommended
ton should have no weight. AS rule,
senators should be listened to in such
matters. In this particular case, how
ever, it is to be remembered that Mon
tana is not represented in the senate by
men Of her choice. A couple of fellows
not honestly elected were given the
seats and the pay Of senators, in ex-
change for their votes for party meas
ures. They are not senators in any
true sense; they do not represent Mon
tana, and they are small calibre fellows,
anyway. Why should the president ask
the advice of such men or listen to their
recommendations He knows their
true value. The party will use them
whenever it wants them; and that's all
they will ever amount to. They are i'm
.pudent to complain"

rem. This is the way they call spade a
spade: "The electoral vote of indiana
was obtained for Harrison and Morton
by the most fragrant crime against thu
ballot box ever perpetrated in ar
American commonwealth. These crimel
were committed under the direct
auspices Of William Wade Dudley, then
and now chairman Of the National Re
publican committee, and by the procure.
ment and connivance Of the republican
leaders in the state, and the national
administration of Benjamin Harrison
has made itself an accessory after the
fact to those crimes by shielding the
criminals from punishment, and even by
rewardlng them for their knavery, and
that the brazen prostitution Of the
machinery Of the federal court for the
district of Indiana, by it's judge and
attorney, to the service and protection
Of conspirators against the suffrage,
constitute the most infamous chapter
in the judicial annals Of the republic"
With few changes in names this plat

The great growth Of Texas in the last
decade is one of the surprises Of the
census, but it is questionable if that
state has not drawn it's new blood from the
older south, rather than from the north.
The Denver Republican predicts that in
the next decade there will, undoubtedly,
be noticeable drift of population
toward the mountain states and terri
tories. The greater part OF the valuable
land susceptible of cultivation without
irrigation has been taken up under the
United States land laws. Home-seekers
must look for land either in localities
where the rainfall is uncertain in
amount, or in regions farther west,
where agriculture depends upon irriga-
ton. Many of them will come to the
arid region. So much attention has
been called of late to the subject of irri-
CATION, the Republican says, that the
whole country is becoming more or less
instructed in regard to the possibility Of
pursuing agriculture by this means
Before the close Of this century q great
many valleys in the Rocky Mountains
which are now barren will be reclaimed
through the construction of irrigation
reservoirs and bitches. Emigrants from
the east will seek homes in these valleys
and SO the Rocky Mountain country viii
be settled up. In the aggregate, Their
is enough land susceptible of irrigation
in the arid region to support popula
ton very nearly as great as the entir
agricultural population Of the Unite
States at the present time.

American Artistic cracy,

Mr.. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in a
recent Chsutauqua address on the "Aris-
tooraoy of the Dollar" placed his finger
upon the sorest spot in our social system
namely, its arrogant contempt of its own
origin.
He reminded his audience that Pope Or
ban, having been a oobbler, bravely, hon
estly took cobbler's tools for his coat-of'
arms, while during IL years residence in
Newport Mr.. HiRRinson has never seen any
thing on any carriage e suggest t tat, IT.
long line of kings.
It il precisely this wsak-minded, mean
spirited hunkyism which makes our aris-
tocracy of wealth contemplate. Our arts
tocrats are ashamed of the honest toll Of
honest trade from which their money
came; they hold in shame the memory OF
pride in work made them rich. They
hourly act debasing life for shame of an
honorable truth.
Some even openly talk of their aristo.
cratic descent and affect superiority OF
birth because it was their grandfather
rather than their father who lived over the
shop wherein their money was made.
most honorable fact in the descent of Amer
lean men-the fact, namely, that their an
cestors were plebians or persons OF what
the English call "the middle classes" that
is to say, that they are descended from hon
est men and women and not from the Mid
die Ago highwaymen or the later debauchees
and royal favorites who were the founders
of Old World aristocratio families.
Tho plain truth 10 that from the English
point Of view We are all Common people,
in this country, tho descendants of farmers,
mechanics and trad esmen, and that We are
the better for it. We come Of a cleaner
strain than that of Old World aristocracies.
We have achieved more than they, for we
have conquered a continent, and in single
century have created the create and freest
republic on the face of the earth.
The Stiffness Of the assumptions touched
upon by MI. Higginson has been shown in
q crystal by the poet who wrote:
OF all the notable things on earth,
The Queerest one is pride of birth
Among onr fierce democracy.

It was work in the past that made this
country great, not idleness and indulgence.
It is work in the present that keeps it great.
