CAUGHT IN CORRIDORS.

Mayor Ball, the distinguished Fargo at
torney, was prominent figure III the Mer-
chants locby yesterday, having dropp ed into
the Sanity City to look after some legal
matters. Col. Ball, although he is considered
in many parts of North Dakota as the lead
ing candidate for the seat in the United
States senate now filed by Senator Casey,
evidently believes in keeping himself and
his candidacy as much in the background as
possible until the proper time to spring it and
win. He will undoubtedly be the candidate
of the Fargo end of the Red river valley, and
if be can make himself solid with the dis
tricfs north in that section his election will
be certain, for the simple reason that the Red
river valley is entitled TO the honor, being
the most popuious section of the state. and
at the present time totally unrepresented at
Washington. OF course, there will be other
candidates in the valley beginning with Jud
La iMoule, in the extreme north, and perhaps
ending with Billy Bulge. of Grand Forks
There will be few smaller fry aandwiched
in along the way down, or rather up the
river, besides a number more just Oh the
western edge of the great valley. But Mayor
Ball viii be stronger than any of them, at
least so say the weil-inf ormed North Dakota
politicians.

Patriotism.

Bereft of patriotism, the heart of a
nation will be cold and cramped and
sordid; the arts will have no endur-
ing impulse, and commerce no invig-
Grating soul; society will degenerate,
and the mean and vicious triumph.
Patriotism is not wild glittering
passion, but a glorious reality. The
virtue that gave to paganism it's daz-
cling lustre, to barbarism it's redeem
ing trait, to Christianity it's heroic
form, is not dead Itstilllives to con
sole, to sanctify humanity. 1t has
it's altar in every clime-its worship
and festivities.
On the heathered hills of Scotland
the sword of Wallace is yet bright
tradition. The genius OF France, in
the brilliant literature of the day,
pays it's high homage to the piety
and heroism of the young Maid of
Orleans. In her new Senate Hall,
England bids her sculptor place
among the effigies of her greatest sons
the images of Hampden and of Rus
sell. In the gay and graceful capital
of Belgium, the daring hand of Geefs
has reared monument, full OF glor-
ious meaning, to the three hundred
martyrs of the revolution,
By the soft, blue waters of Lake
Lucerne stands the chapel of William
Tell. On the anniversary ofhis revolt
and victory, across the waters, as they
glitter in the July sun, skim the light
boats of the allied cantons. From
the prows hang the banners of the
republic, and as they near the sacred
spot the daughters of Lucerne chant
the hymns of their old poetic land
Then bursts forth the glad TIE Deum,
and heaven again hears the voice OF
that wild chivalry of the mountains
which, FIVE centuries since, pierced
the white eagle of Vienna, and flung
it bleeding on the rocks of Uri.-

Mr.. CIeYeIand'S Cure-Au.

Since his conversion to free trade,
DIR. Cleveland has been going at a
rapid pace and has now distanced
even the original Horizontal William
and Roger @. Mills. This thing has
been preying on Mr.. Cleveland's in
tellect until it has crowded out pref
ty much everything else.
dis present belief is that tariff re-
form is g sovereign cure for rhuema-
tisna, badness, bow-legs and in
growing nails. The ordinary faith
cure crank becomes modest in COM
-Darison with Mr.. Cleveland in his
eIixir-of-life business. The microbe
that is to drive from the body polite
all the evils which affiict it, is the free
trade microbe, cultivated in the mild
ness of tariff reform. In his letter to
the Hoosier free traders, Mr.. Cleve-
land finds that the protective bacil-
aus lis responsible for many if not all
OF the evils which aflict our people"
The scarcity of money, the failer Of
crops and distress of the farmers, are
due to the protective tariff and will
be cured by application of the remedy
that has Mr.. Cleveland's name blown
on the bottle.
What a happy people the people of
Great Britain must be. There they
have no protective tariff to bring evils
and the British farmers must be pros
porous and happy. The laboring
classes must be vastly more comfort
able there than here. Never any scar
city of the circulating medium, never
any distresses such as we complain
OF, because they have caused the free
trade microbe to swallow the protec-
ton bacillus. These reports of the

GENERAL FAIRCHILD has been dis
appointed in Gov. Peck. Before the
Soldiers Home bill vent to the Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, Fairchild said:
Governor Peek will never veto the
bill. That he refuses to forecast his
action In the matter is no sign that
he opposes the measure. [ would
not forecast my action if | were In
his place. There is no reason for We
toing it. Not a chargehas been made
against the manner of conducting the
home that has been sustained. The
home is under Democratic control
now, but not under political control.
No one wants it to be controlled by
apolitical board Therefore [ believe
that the governor will sign the bill"
General Fairchild's confidence in Gov
ernor Peck was misplaced. The gov
ernor vetoed the bill.

THE SCAR ON HIS NECK.
How the Body Of ohm Wilkes Booth
 Was Identified.

From the Washington Dispatch to the Boston
 Herald.
 Apropos of the revival of the story in connection with the death of the Rev J.G Armstrong late of Atlanta, that Armstrong was really John Wilkes Booth, ,Dr William May, well known Washington physician, l, says:
 'I was present at the autopsy of John Wilkes Booth, when his body was brought to Washington after he had been shot by Boston Corbett in the Virginia barn. There was no doubt in the minds of the authorities and many people at that time, aE even now, as to whether or not the body lying on the deck of the Monitor at the United States navy yard was that of Booth, the assassin.
 ''In their dilemma the authorities sent for my father, Dr. John Frederick May, to identify the remains, knowing that he had performed at one time a surgical operation upon bim, and thinking that perhaps by the scar made by the surgeons knife the body might be identified. I drove to the navy yard with my father, and although but mere boy at the time, remember we'll the scene.
 a If the body lying under the tarpaulin on the deck said Dr. May, lis the body oi John Wilkes Booth, my former patient, you will find the scar made by my knife commencing at point on the medium line | opposite the third ceryical vertebrR and extending downward about three inches. 's'You have described the mark as well, said Surgent-General Barnes, 'as if yor | were looking at it.

APHILADELPHIA IDEA,

Philadelphia has the reputation of being a little slow, especially in New York, but a city where the servant girl problem is effectively dealt with is up to the times in at least one very important respect. The Woman's Exchange of Philadelphia has undertaken the registering of competent and properly accredited servants, who can be secured by hcusekeepers upon apphca- ton to the Exchange. This differs radi- cally from the ordinary intelligence of- fee in that the record and references of every applicant are carefully looked up, and no servant is allowed to register who is not perfectly satisfactory in every re- spect. This takes time and labor, to be sure, but it pays. Within six months since the bureau was opened there applied 1,541 persons for registry. Examina- ton into references, etc., reduced this number to 762 who were all lowed to register. Says the Phila- delphia Ledger: Just fancy, even in one small sphere how much money, time and patience the Woman's Exchange saved to its patrons when it did not turn those 1,541 persons applying for situations over to as many housekeepers for over three fourths of them to be returned, or to dis charge themselves six times, at least, in the six months that have gone by since the bureau was opened. Nine thousand two hundred and forty-six charges might have been made in this time, or even IS, 900, ac' cording as these unsatisfactory persons stayed-one week, or two, or three in one or another place. With the 1,176 persons who were not placed, and with the ITS who were not permitted to register at all, all going through the ridiculous flood. gates in the ordinary methods of distribu- tion, it is plalh to see how the Woman's Exchange could have contributed regi
 ments of unskilled or refractory womer l to the existing disturbance in domestic
 service, had it not held rigidly to its rules l It will be interesting to note the further
 working of this scheme. At present it ap | hears to be a good one

SENATOR EDMUNDS.

"Few die and none resign" they say, but the fact is, all die and occasionally one re- signs. The resignation of Senator Ed munds was quite a surprise to the coun- try, although he has had it in mind for some time. His departure will make a vacancy hard to fill. Senator Edmunds is not a very old man-only 63-but he has been a senator for twenty-five years. Dur ing all this time he has taken a very active and important part in legislation. He has been great worker rather than great talker, but when he did speak he has had something to say. No senator has been more listened to and followed than he. He was active in the impeachment proceedings against Pres ident Johnson, was a member of the Elec- toral Commission, was for a long time president pro tempore of the senate when MT. Arthur was made president of the United States, and he has served on the committees on commerce, public lands, ap- propriations, pensions, retrenehment, pri- vate land claims, the library and the judiciary, and he has been chairman of the last named committee in several successive congresses He has well earned the rest he is going to seek. His good sense, his legal lore, his ready wit and his thorough knowledge of public men and public mat ters will be much missed by those in the senate who have learned to depend upon him
