comparison we will briefly quote from
"Blaine's Twenty Years in Congress-

moral courage to take position in the ranks
of that despised political sect forty-tive years

Any less earnest body of men would have
been discouraged, but the Abolition party

appalled, by defeat, they were inspired with
fresh zeal and melted to new effort.

Oliver Wendell Holmes had such men

penned the following lines:

Chief Among American SOyereiSnS

A great deal of abuse has, from
time to time. been heaped upon the
good class of men who dared to vote
as they thought right, regardless of
precedent. Ii takes staunch man to
stick to his colors through every trial,
but it requires even more backbone to
throw aside habit and precedent and
acknowledge a mistake.
Were 1t not for the "Mugwumps'
this country would lapse into a race of
higOted partisans, whose habitual ser
Witty to custom and lack of individual
ity would stunt the sense of right in
the young and cripple the moral
growth of our country. 1t iG not good
for any man to be in power too long,
for he forgets the rights of the people
and his duty to his constituency.
After repeatedly returning to Office
he becomes couceited and autocratic,
forgets that his duty is to serve the
people, and imagineS that he is the
master and they the servants. This
condition of affairs is deplorable in-
deed, but we often see it exemplfied.
Who, then, is to stop the evil Who
is to place the limit to the njust

if not the independent man, the man
of individuality and self-assertion-
the Mugwump, if you please
1t is he who rules the nation. 1t is
he who says where injustice must stop

who grasps the wheel and steers the

started about four weeks ago. An
Indian policeman arrested an Indian
named Little, who was accused of
stealing COW and killing it. They
told him that Agent Roger wanted to
see him. When he got to the agency,
two policemen grabbed him and told
him that he could not see the agent,
but that he must go to the guard house.
He tried 10 get away. when one of the
police struck him breaking a club over
his neck. Little then drew his knife
and commenced cutting right and LETT,

gathered around to see the fight. The
agent, thinking that the ghost dancers
were about to jump the agency, hur-

Our cold weather occurs during the
