Lost For Four Years.

Many things are lost-men, women,
children, money, opportunities, collar
buttons and jewelry; for it is human
to be careless. But seldom is it that a
day lost from the calendar except dur
ing February, which manages to lose
track of one of it's days until leap
year, when it OPPORTUNITY discovers
it somewhere and puts it where it be-
longs. Search warrants, ETC., are OF
no effect, for when February grows ex-
cited and permits that twenty-four
hours to escape, there is no earthly
help for it. Wemust wait, watch, and
wonder. We may growl but it does
no good. It is a clear loss of time to
us, and life is short enough at most.
In view of this, The St. Paul & Duluth
Railroad, popularity known to the
travelling public as The Duluth Short
Line, sees to it that it's patrons lose
no time whatever, and, in addition to
quick schedules, furnish the finest
equipment. It is the short line be-
tween the double twins-St. Paul and
Minneapolis, Duluth and West Super
ior. For information, address Geo.
w. Bull, General Passenger Agent, or

A Satisfied Man ::

Did you ever see him? It seems as
if the search for him would be more
hopeless than Diogenes' quest. One
man is saving money to build house;
another is trying to sell his for less
than it cost. This young man is
spending all the money he can earn in
theatre tickets, bouquets, and livery
hire, to persuade a girl to marry him:
that middle-aged man is paying law
yers big money to get divorce. The
Eastern man wants to 60 West; the
hungry and crop-less Western farmer
wishes he could go back to the old
home in the East. Farmers wish they
had a soft snap keeping store; the
merchant with notes coming due in
the bank wishes he could have as easy
a time as "that old Granger" The
children are in a hurry to be "grown
up folks" The old people would like
to be young again. However, the
above does not show that all are dis
satisfied. The man who buys his rail-
road tickets over "The Burlington, :"
secures a berth in their luxurious
sleepers, and awakes to breakfast in
their peerless dining cars-in him you
have "a Satisfied Man" For tickets
over this popular line, or any infor-
nation, apply to the nearest ticket

ing lines, or write to w. j. G. Kenyon,

he had read his papers and didn't
know what to do with himself. He
had been over the route so many times
the scenery and brazen signs on the
road did not interest him; but tho
pretty girl with music roll and natty
travelling dress did. He caught q CLINT
OF her merry blue eyes as she looked
up at him once in Indifferent curiosity,
and he had studied the dainty coil OF
brown hair until he had an impulse to
run his pencil through the seductive
little curl that strayed over the back

she wished to. The owner of the curl,
however, was apparently oblivious of
his presence.
Presently he took up his paper and,
under q pretence of reading, softly
whistled, "She's as Pretty as Pic
ture."
This made no evident impression on
the young lady, who was looking
dreamily at the fleeting landscape.
Not discouraged, the impotunate Airt
started off with more insinuatinginto-
nations, "Oh, Eyes so Blue and Ten
der"
The maiden fair moved triae un-
easily and pressed her face against
the window pane. "a Sweet Face at
the Window" readily whistled the
quick-witted tormentor. There was
no mistaking the personal allusion in
the whistle, and the younglady moved
as if to change her seat, but an omin-
GUS silence following this move, she
settled down again to ponder and to
dream.
ooh, Speak to Me, Speak" whistled
the musical fiend, with fine infections,
as Dramatic as g. whistler can make
them.
"Omaha the next station" an
nounced the conductor.
GLOW Can I Bear to Leave Thee"
began the whistler, telling the cheerful
fact that Omaha was his destination.
The young lady sat up with more in
terested expression upon her hereto
fore sphinx-like countenance.
"Would I Meier Had Met Thee"
whistled the young man, as he drew
on his overcoat, and striking into
Farewell Forever" as he disappeared.
The train stopped, he passed the
window and caught a glimpse of q
bonny face radiant with smiles of ap-
preciative mischief. It was almost his
undoing. He had an impulse to spring
on the train and 60 to Chicago, but al
ready the train was whizzing past.
With g. farewell wave of his hand he
logged along whistling "Her Bright
Smile Haunts Me STILL"

creasing at a tremendous rate. And
If they can undersell us in markets,
1000 miles away, will these picayune
reductions shut them out of the Bra
lillian market which lies at their very
doors? Will few pennies upon a
barrel OF flour more than annihilate
5000 miles of distance and reverse
the whole course of trade?
1t is full time to end this battle
about our farmers finding a market
for their surplus in South America
The temperate zone and the table
lands of the southern continent can
feed the world. The people there are
just beginning to develop their re-
sources: they are building railroads
and buying improved farm machinery;
already they are crowding us hard in
the markets of Europe. Even in trop-
ical Brazil, on the high plateaus of the
single province OF Matte Crosse, there
are 100000 square miles of land, fit
for corn and wheat, that await de-
velopment. And yet Mr.. Blaine has
the audacity to claim that his little
reciprocity scheme will turn all South
America into a vast dumping ground
for the wheat and corn Of the West.
1t is all froth and 'frescoed wind"
He might as well tell the destitute
wheat-growers of Dakota to look to
Manitoba for market.
And what now are the farmers to
pay for this gorgeously decorated bub-
BILE? Mr. Blaine wishes to reimpose the
old duty on sugar of $40 per ton,
against all except the Brazilians in
order to give them a monopoly of our
market. That means $6O,OOO,OOO
per annum, taken out of the pockets
of the American people. That
monstrous amount is not even to go
into the treasury as it once did; it is
to be handed over to the Brazilian
sugar-planters. The Brazilians can
afford to rejoice. But what of our
farmers who are to pay this immense
sum with the certainty that for each
dollar of their loss they will not re-
ceive as much as one cent of gain?
And this is Blaine's wonderful bargain
with Brazil!
But the American farmer is not so
gullible as he once was. He no longer
thrills at the waving of ensanguined
garments. He has quit chasing rain
bows. He no longer climbs into a
fools paradise whenever the politici-
ans bid him. Therefore the reciprocity
racket will not accomplish it's pur-
pose. 1t will not rescue the Republi-
can party, from the ruin so plainly
impending. The readers of Dean Swift,
will remember that the pigmies of
Lilliput when the city was burning,
called upon CULVER for aid; and that
the great man put out the flames by
a very peculiar device. But the flames
that are now devouring "the grand
old party" cannot thus be extinguished
by James CULVER Blaine.

St. Vincent New Era:
Last week State Senators Hompe,
Dedon and Erickson, made them
selves notorious by voting against
their party and party associates.
These men should know, what every
school boy in Minnesota knows, that
they belong to a party in a minority
in the legislature; a minority power
less to accomplish anything if left to
themselves. On account of splendid
leadership and combination they have
been able to accomplish more than
their supporters expected of them
hitherto, but last week these three
Senators thought it was the prop
er caper to desert their leader
and associates to the delight
of every newspaper which fires
shot into the ranks of the Alliance
whenever they get chance to do so,
and to the sorrow and disgust of every
true Alliance man in Minnesota.
These Senator's should know that
there are certain rights every political
leader is entitled to, and without
their recognition no self respecting
man would assume the onerous duties
and responsibilities of leadership
Senator Donnelly is universally re-
garded as the leader of the Alliance
and it's allies in the senate, and as
such should be treated with the
courtesy and deferencs due his posi-

New Moons.

In former years, the night-watch-
men of European towns, as they went
their rounds, called out the hour and
the state of the weather.
These watchmen were generally old
men, whose infrmities, rather than
their fitness, made them guardians of
the night. One of them, Waterman
of Canterbury, Cooper, the English
artist, tells a story, amusingly illus
trative of the mental dullness of the
class.
One night it had been raining be-
tween the hours of the old mans
rounds, fact of which he was igno-
rant, having snoozed, as usual, in his
Matchbox. When he started on his
next round, the rain had ceased, and
the light of the moon was reflected in
many pools of water. As the old man
went along, he was heard to call out:
"Past eleven o'clock, q wet night,
and more moons than usualp"-

Hastings Democrat:


Eric Olson has job. He is clerk of
the prison committee. Of course this
committee needs a clerk, about as
much as a dog needs an extra tail.
But then one OF the parties hanging
around the Capitol since January, had
to be provided for, so Eric was ap-
pointed q clerk of the State prison
committee of the House.
And q pretty middle it left things
in. A member of the committee in
PRODUCED resolution declaring the
appointment void, and argued that
the committee did not need a clerk.
The Speaker had himself to take the
floor and explain that he made the
appointment at the request of a ma
iority OF the committee. The reso-
luton was not adopted out of feel
ing of courtesy to the Speaker, and
Eric holds his job.
To man up a tree it looks as if
this courtesy business were being
overdone. Men are not sent to the
Legislature to do the Chesterfield act.
They are sent to look out. for the in
terest of the people, even if they have
occasionally to step on some ones
toes i'll so doing. In the meantime it
looks as if this were a sinecure, and
that the committee really does not
need a clerk. If this is so Mr.. Olson
should be bounced at once, Speaker
or no Speaker, courtesy or no cour
tesy.

Wheaton Gazette:-

Wheaton Gazette
The GREAT WEST is making some dam
aging disclosures in regard to the grain
business as carried on in the north
west. Although DR.. Fish may hold
impracticable views on other subjects,
he is certainly on the right track in
this matter and is dealing the wheat
ring corporations some telling blows
that are sure to prove beneficial. The
wheat men can make n o defense as the
DR.. furnishes positive proof to SUBJ
stantiate every charge he makes, and
he has already forced several dealers
to admit that they annually make
from 20 to SO per cent profit on the
amount they have invested. With
affairs in this shape it is little wonder
that the people of the northwest are
becoming restless and dissatisfied. It
is not natural that a free people
should quietly submit to so great an
injustice.

Dakota Co. Tribune:

The reform house now playing a star
engagement at the capitol showed it's
desire for economy, last Monday, by
confirming the appointment of Eric
Olson as clerk of the state prison and
reformatory committee, to date from
February 10, in spite Of the vigorous
protest of a minority of the committee
who declared that their committee did
not need clerk and had nothing for
one to do and would not have during
the whole session. During the debate
it was developed that the committee
has only held three meetings and
passed two motions since the session
began, and has had only two bills re-
ferred to it. The request for his APP
pointment was signed by one Alliance
man and five Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis were his principal champions,
and Eric's appointment was confirm
ed, as a reward for his perfdy to the
alliance.

ton; when Senator Hompe succeeds
to that position he should be treated
in a like manner.
These senator's should also remem-
Der that the public thinks what was
good enough for their political asso-
ciates ought to be good enough for
them.
Their votes of last week places them
under suspicion, as it is usual for
political traitors, when contemplating
treason, to pose awhile as independ-
ents, then as martyrs for their indie
pendence, and, finally, to-fop.
The plaudits of the enemy may be
gratifying to these mems vanity, but
are funeral bells in the ears of true
men.
The Alliance sorely needs in this
Legislature, patriots; they have no
use for traitors or-fools.
