secretary w,ndom,s Last story.

Washington Post A few minutes be-
fore Secretary Window entered the ban
quet hall at Dclmonico's that fatal night
he met Bill Nye In the lobby of the hos.
telry. For years the late secretary and
Nye were the closest OF friends. and
many joke had been discussed between
them. ''Do you know, Mr.. Nye," res
marked the secretary, "that every time I
see you think Of Senator Wade and his
experience. What ! have you never heard
the story?" the secretary continued.
"Well, it's so good I'll tell it to you.
Wade, as you remember was devoid Of
hair on his head, and always wore wig
Of raven black. One day, just after he
had concluded very strong speech in
congress, he was waited upon In the lobby
of the capitol by a young woman. SEN
ator, she began, have listened with the
greatest of interest to every word You
have uttered to-day; aud oh, what gals
liant man you are Would you object to
Giving me curl of your hair TO carry
home to Ohio with me2 why, certainly,
madam, You shall have it ALL answered
the senator, removing his wig and hand
ing it to the astonished woman" This
was the last story told BY the dead secre.

JUD LAMoURE, the ranbunctious sena-

dark conspiracy to turn over the state TO

LaMoure visited st. Paul and Miuneapo.
lis. As usual he was great graft for the
interviewers, and in one seance with re.
porter the Pembina county cherub talked
in his present alarming strain regarding
the political future of North Dakota. At
that time it was the high tariff that was
to send the republican party of the COM
monwealth to the demnition bowwows.
Following is an extract from the inter-
view, and it would seem that year ago,
instead of being SO wrought up over the
possibility of democratic success through
the aid of the liquor interest, he expressed
pretty straight democratic doctrine him
self:
Things are apt to be turned upside
down still worse. 1t was only by the
most solemn promises that we had North
Dakota IN line last fall. We said that the
tariff should be revised in favor of ths
producers and sharply revised, too.
Now there is trouble brewing. Do they
propose putting tariff on hides? Why,
every North Dakota man who wears shoe
leather will kick. am merchant, a
farmer, and interested IN national bank.
l was railroad commissioner In tile ter
ritory and have been all over 1t, and I
know the temper of the people. Take
my section. Pembina county has about
$500 voters. 1t is naturally democratic,
but we pulled out 1000 republican major
ity by promising revision of the tariff.
The settlers are largely Canadians who
were members Of the "Gnt" or anti
Macdonald party in Canada. and whose
sympathies are entirely in favor of free
trade across the line. 1t is proposed to
put q tariff on wheat for the benefit of
farmers. LaMoure almost choked with
disgust. Why, oil North Dakota sends
over into the Saskatchewan region fol
seed wheat, because it has SO much finer
grain. l. tell you, unless something is
done to lower the tariff, North Dakota
goes democratic at the next election.

Col. PLUMMER is getting tired of the
political methods in vogue IN the state,
and this is what he says In his paper, the
Casselton Republican
The Republican is, as its name indl-
Gates, republican paper. 1t will in the
future, as IN the past, advocate sound re.
publican principles, but 1t will pay more
attention to principles than to men.
Regularly nominated tickets must repre-
sent the principles of the party before
they will receive the support of this pa
per. There is spirit of independence
abroad in the land. Old political hacks
may as well take warning: Idlocy aud
dirt will not be supported for office sim.
ply because they have secured regular
nomination.

Growing Demand for Half Cc,ts

The half cent has become a necessity
In American trade says the Age of
steel, and the American News-tlealers,
Association will petition Congress- to
establish half-ccnt coinage. On one.
cent papers the Dealers profit is only
half cent; and in many Instances the
half cent is lost because there is no coin
OF this value. An appreciablc loss
arises from this source in the course of
year. 1t is a favorite way in MARKING
retail goods of all kinds to rate them in
such way that the half cent comes in.
and in every case goes to the dealer.
This odd cent in large establishment
certainly amounts to several dollars
daily, which the buyers lose and the
seller gains. for want of the half-ccnt
coin. The infinitcsimal divisions of in

made these small coins n necessity /,
