SENATE

Senator Crandall created a hutter of ex-
element in tine senate chamber yesterday
morning when he introduced a resolution

presented this misunderstanding the ju-
dicary committee to prepare bill for the
redistricting OF the state into new judicial
districts, consolidating as many OF the
same as possible and reducing the number
of judges to number deemed advisable

a week. Senator Hale gave notice OF de-
bate, but was induced to withdraw the
same. alter which Senator Crsndali stated
that no attorney in either house dared to
present measure seeking to consolidate
the districts on the ground that they would
incur the displeasure OF the judges. He
pointed out the fact, and called it notorious
that Minnesota had more judges on her
pay roll than the whole English govern
ment. lie concluded by moving the

by a unanimous vote.
After several petitions were presented the

Welded to Their Ideas.

It is strange thing how men will
stick to them when, if they would stop
to think, with unprecedented minds, for
a moment the absurdity of their posi-
ton would be apparent But. alas! for
poor unfortunate man, he is so consti-
tuted as to think that he is right, and
every one who differs from him is
wrong. The old saying that '.as the
twig is bent SO will the tree Incline is
no truer than ''as strong as the father
was in the faith of either of the old
parties SO will be the faith of the son. :"
Everyone seems to be proud of his po-
itical pedigree, and takes pleasure in
tracing it back to remote antiquity.
And if you want to hear
"Come one, come ALL
This rock shall fly
From it's firm base
AS soon as l."
Just dispute his loyalty to his party
and you will hear it, and get black
eye to boot, if you don't mind. The
sooner such as this is eradicated from
the minds of the people the better it is
for us. Are we true Americans if we
let prejudice predominant our reason:
Indeed we are not; our Americanism
extends no further than giving us
name. The typical American is the
one that is ready and willing to eradi-
cate fault wherever it is found, whether
it is in keeping with what his father
taught him or not.-Ohio County
Farmer.

For the man who honestly investigates
public questions on their true merits
and in all their bearings relative to the
real welfare and prosperity of the
country with the view of casting an in
telligent ballot, calculated to foster the
liberties of the people and Republi-
can form of government, we have the
most profound respect and unbounded
admiration, whether he votes as we do
or not But for the representative of
that other class of so-called heemen
and supporters of good government,
who seems neither to know nor care to
know anything of public questions or
the primary principles of American
freed.n or who possess not the moral
courage or integrity to vote their
honest sentiments, but are the ready
tools of designing politicians and office
seekers and seem proud to know that
they are of sufficient importance to be
the object of the attention of his lord
and master we profess an unlimited
contempt. The very sight or thought of
such man is repugnant and revolving
to the lover of freedom and the admir-
Or of true American citizenship. Such
man is unworthy the blessings of lib
erty. He Is ct only for q state c.
slavery. In his competition is only
the material Of which slaves are made.

BE NATURAL.

A woman never loses anything by
being real. For a woman to be natur-
al is for her to be an object of respect
and love. She was created to sway,
not as men sway by stronger physical
powers, but in her own way and by
her more gentle qualities. A natural
woman is the greatest power in the
world to-day. By her very nature
she conquers, whether she be the wife
of a humble clerk or of ten-tlme
millionaire. "She is always so Iowa
BILE because she is so NATURAL" was
the graceful tribute [ heard group
of women a few evenings ago pay to
q Young woman who had just left
them. ''Men are so fond of her"
said another woman in the group,
"and vet no one would call her pretty"
Let artifice, sham or pretension enter
into the nature of such woman and
she would become at once an unwel-
come guest where now she is hidden
and eagerly sought for. Some one
NAV say: eyes the one you speak OF
is probably a rich woman, and she
can afford to be lovable." Not at all,
my friend She is the daughter of
man whose salary is too meagre for
him to give his wife a servant, and
this daughter helps the mother in he1
homework. She is the very sunshine
of that home, simply because she is
her own self and never tries to be
what she is not.

EXTRAORDINARY PROVISION OF
NATURE.

A wonderful place is Tinajas, about
thirty miles southwest of Mission
Camp. Arizona The mountains at
this point have one face of hard,
smooth granite. All the waters fall
ing on this entire basin are, by most
extraordinary provision of nature,
combined with the efforts of primitive
man, made to flow through success
sion of nine wells or tanks, carved in
the solid granite of which the noun
tain is composed. These remarkable
receptacles are placed or excavated,
one above the other, the upper tanks
being approachable only by a difficult
and circuitous route through perfect
chaos of gigantic detached powders.
The lower tanks are easy of access,
and are often drained of their con-
tents by men and animals travelling
between Yuma and LSonora- To one
standing at the foot of the mountain
on which the upper tanks are situated
no indication of their existence is af-
forded, nor does climbing the smooth,
steep mountain side seem possible to
one unacquainted with the way. This
latter fact is not deplorable, because
the upper tanks have never been
known to dry. Within two miles of
these Arizonian wonders are certainly
$50 or 200 graves, each marked by
rows of stones laid in the form of
cross. These are the resting places
of men, famished for water, who had
expended their last strength in reach
Tinaias, only to find the lower tanks
dry, and ignorant of the upper ones,
had laid down in despair to die.-St.
Louis Republic.

THE FALLDUDE.

An exchange thus notes the fall
style of dude: ''We note a slight
change in the new style of dude. His
head is shaped still more like five
cent loaf of bread and his legs are
trifie more bowed than last year. This
feature in the change of style seems
to us superf1uous and unnecessary,
but presume it is all right. At any
rate we do not propose to rail against
the DEGREES of fashions. The newest
dude carries his cane at an angle of
forty-five degrees, suspended airily
between his thumb and finger. The
cane is occasionally changed from one
hand to the other so as not to make
the dude Iop-sided. The dudes pants
are larger this year than formerly, or
else the dude himself is shrinking, we
are not certain which it is. His collar
seems to be an exaggerated shirt cuff
fastened at the top with sleeve but
tons. If the new fall dude can induce
a dog to follow him so much the bet
ter, but we note a Discrimination on
the part of dogs this year to do the
following act.'

There remains, however, the great
est curse, the saloon. We are only
re-repeating words of courage and
warning when we write paragraph
concerning the place of the home,
the school, and the friend in the great
temperance crusade. just at present
we may not be clear on party attitude
but we are clear on this one point.
Every believer in temperance should
be a teacher of temperance. There is
no efficacy in compromises in the tenn
perance cause. We must teach pa
tiently, lovingly, constantly by word
and by work We must use common
sense. This is no cause for ranting or
for buster. We must be tremendous
" in earnest and tremendously practl-
cal. It is folly to hold up aggravated
cases of the work of intOxicants to
boys and girls; it is better to show
them how these things ruin the man
hood and blast the home and then be
temperance men and women before
them day by day. Your consistency,
your example, your quiet, common
sense words will have their effect
sometime. Be patient but work.

USE OF ToBACCo.-Whoe ever knew
an animal, save one kind of goat, a

have known but one quadruped-a
donkey to use it, and that was an
unfortunate one, having less than the
average capacity, and then simply
because he had allowed himself in

But never knew a human being to
use it to the usual extent, who was
not injured in body, mind and soul.

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints has said that polygamy
must go,-that it has gone, in fact.
We see no reason why this action of
the Mormons should not be regarded
by Gentiles as sincere and why we
should not join with the Independent
in it's shout of victory. 1t is the out
come of a tremendous pressure exert
ed by popular opinion acting through
iudicious national law and, although
possibly the step is taken only as a
political necessity, the return to
condition of polygamy against such
pressure will be impossible. This
remnant of one of the worlds curses
is gone and we rejoice for Utah, for
the nation and for humanity.

Where do the days of life go? Back
Into the void whence they came, to
serve no one again. The present day
is the marrow neck of land" oh which
we stand. The past is ours only in
memories, and in the effect it has
wrought upon our characters. What
would we not perhaps give to be able
to recall day, an hour, or even
single minute of that recoverable
past? Or sometimes how gladly we
would blot from our mind all recol-
lection of certain hours! But, for
good or for bad, it is all behind US.
We need not, however, care that the
days one by one glide off into eterni-
ty, if we have really Eused' them as
they passed. We may have filled
them; have we used them, used them
to good purpose, SO their ghosts shall
not haunt US?
