The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-10-04

Minneapolis Journal says: "One of the
most thoughtful and kindly resolutions in
PRODUCED in congress this session is that
of Senator Pierce, which provides for an
extension of time in the payments for
homestead or presumption claims by set
tiers, who have suffered severe loss through
drouth or other cause for which they are
not responsible. This is just and proper.
Within the past few years the severe
drouths in the northwest and in western
states have cut off the resources of many
an honest and Woodworking settler. These
men have put everything they possess into
their land and homes and stock. They are
the men who build up all our newly open
ed areas, who bear the storm and stress of
frontier life and are the pioneers of the
advancing civilization and development
of the natural resources of the country.
That they should be favored and relieved
from apprehension that these natural dis
asters shall prejudice their claims, is help
full not only to them, but to the country.
Let them have a few years extension of
time for the payments on their land, and
bountiful crops will relieve their temporary
distress. Senator Pierce is to be highly
commended for this action with respect to
these settlers. This is real relief for them;
present relief. The joint resolution ought
to be passed without any objection.

Grand Forks Plaindealer: Wiconsin is
having one of the liveliest campaigns in
her history. The republicans are making
q very earnest campaign. The issue is the
Bennett school law. The republicans took
a bold stand for the enforcement of the
law, the democrats resolved for it's repeal.
The Law is satisfactory to all but q portion
of the German Lutherans, an excellent
class of citizens and almost solidly repu-
blicans. The republicans have for their
battle cry 'The Little School House" and
the "Star Spangled Banner" claiming they
depend upon each other. Gov. Hoard, the
popular farmer executive, is doing good
work. His opponent is Gov. Peck, the
humorist mayor of Milwaukee. Having
agreed to amend the Bennett law 80 that
parents can select their school for their
children, it would seem as if the law should
stand. One thing is certain, every child of
America should be educated, liberty de-
mands it.By evading the issue the republi-
cans might have had a walk-over, but ava
sion does not pay. The best way is to
take q stand and win or lose; if the latter,
and you are right, keep mp the fight.
There is more satisfaction in feeling that
you are right than in mere success at the
polls.

Manchester, Iowa, Sept. 24.-Christian
Conrad is celebrating his 10th birthday on
his farm six miles from this place, and his
neighbors are taking a holiday in recogni-
tion of the event. Christian was born in
Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, Sept.
23, 1880. He served in the war of 1872 and
took part in the result of Queenstown
Heights, and was in battle of Fort Erie,
witnessing Perry's great conquest of the
lake of that name. Thirty-fve years ago
he came to Iowa and located on the farm
where he now resides. His home is small
log hut, containing a bedroom and living
room. His wife, to whom he was married
in Pennsylvania sixty years ago, still sur
wives to minister to his wants in his old
age. He is the father of eleven children,
all living, and ranging from 30 to So years
of age. He has forty-two grandchildren
and thirty-four great-grandchildren.

The editor who penned the following
must have had some hard experience in
his time as well as having enjoyed the
Injuries of IN easy life, and knew whereof
he wrote:
"a room without a couch of some sort
Is only half furnished. Life is full of ups
and downs, and all that saves the sanity of
the mentally jaded and the physically ex-
hausted fortune-hunter is the periodical
good CRY and the momentary loss of con-
seriousness on the upstairs lounge or the
old sofa in the sitting-room. There are
times when so many of the things that dis
tract us could be Strengthened out and the
way made clear if one only had a long,
comfortable couch on whose soft bosom he
could throw himself, boots and brains,
stretch his weary frame, unmindful of
tides and tapestry, close his tired eyes, re-
lax the tension of his muscles and give his
harassed mind q chance. Ten minutes of
this soothing narcotic, when the head
throbs, the soul yearns for endless, dream
less, eternal rest, would make the vision
clear, the nerves steady, the heart light
and the star of hope shine again. There
is not a doubt that the longing to die is
mistaken for the need Of q nap. Instead
Of the immortality of the soul business
men and working women want regular and
systemstic doses of doing, and after q
messy bank in the shade of an old oak,
that succeeding Junes have converted into
. tenement Of songsters, there is nothing
that can approach . big sofa OF allow,
long couch placed in . corner, where tired
nature can turn her TO the wall and snoose
Or sleep away the gloom.

Saturday, but to. day only two are left.
The tie that bound them more close
ly than that which the clergyman
drew has been lately loosened, and
the light of their countenance went
out with the red winter sun only the
other night. The father is railroad
man whose duties call him away
from home nearly three-fourths of
the time. It was his habit, when
ever he was about to start for home,
to telegraph to his wife, apprising
her of the fact. In the telegram he
never failed to mention the name of
their little four-year-old, and the
dispatch usually ran as follows:
'sTen Arthur I shall sleep with him
tonight" The baby boy was very
proud of these kilograms, which his
mother would read over to him, and
he consider the "teledraf'' a great
institution. The other night when
the fever had done its work, and the
mother was sobbing out her anguish
the little one turned calmly in his
bed and said. Don't Ky, mamma;

pecially watchful is trading combi-
nations on county officers. They
are anxious to give votes for county
officers in return for votes for the
Legislature, and they would probably
give two for one if they could there
by effect such combinations. Dem
ocrats would force off the ticket any
county nominee guilty of the treach-
cry of such trading, and while dem
ocratic nominees for county Offices
are as rule incapable of it, the re-
publlcanism must be watched at all
points.
1t was lanented during the Dress
ed Beef investigation that 1.-The Big
-Four" of Chicago would have some
thing to say in the election of the
next Missouri Legislature, and the
republicans will certainly miss no
opportunity of adding to their cam
paign fund. Democrats have no
money to spend, and no desire to
initiate the corrupt practice of the
republican managers. Reliance TO,
democratic success against corrup'
ton funds and trickery must be OF
democratic activity and vigilant ag
gressiveness.
The campaign in Missouri should
not be one of waiting for republican
attack, but of attack on republican
ism at all points. There are as many
close republican counties in the state
as there are close democratic-about
80 in each case-which the party
calculators, on one side or the other
claim as doubtful. It is certainl,
easy for the democrats to carry tn.
doubtful counties as the republicans

Ihe Beef Combine Working Against

The farmers OF Ray county are
greatly interested in the reelection
Of George C. Vest to the United

has tilched millions of dollars from

should be Oh their guard. Emissa-
ries from this very beef combine are

that object is to defeat Vest. Eel

there are several of these fellows

The Missouri Campaign.

The action of the democrats of
Missouri in holding an early conven-
ton was wise, as opportunity was
thus given for a vigorous three
months campaign of education.
Though considerable time has pass
ed in getting the work fairly inau.
rated, there are many ways in which
the state committee can render most
valuable service to the party during
the time that remains before the cleo
ton. 1t can not only provide for a
thorough general canvass of the
state, but energetic work under its
direction in close republican coun-
ties will result in marked gains in
the Legislature. A good deal has
been said about ''holding the doubt.

cratic counties where the republi.
cans are centering their attack. The
situation in such counties deserves
the most careful consideration, but
it should not exclude equal consid
Grafton for the close republican
counties which in such a year as thi,
will easily become democratic if suf
ficient energy is shown by the chair
man of the state committee and hi
able associates.
It will be a mistake to hold bacl
the campaign with view to leaving
the work entirely with the democrat'
of the Missouri congressional dele
cation. There is not one of then
who will not do his part and more
but the whole power Of the part,
