UNDER ordinary conditions it would
be queer county newspaper that would
not be pleased If state or national honors
should fall to citizen Of the county that
had been such newspapers home to1
years. But where, in addition to such
conditions, the citizen who aspires to
honors beyond the boundaries Of his
county or district is an exceedingly able
mana man we'll known and highly re-
garded throughout the whole state-a
man who has brought honor to the
county-it becomes a labor OF love as
well as of duty.
*xx
The RECORD learns from articles IN va.
rious newspapers that John II. Worst,
a resident of this county and senator from
this district, is candidate for the posi-.
tion of United States senator, and that a
support will come to him from those
members of the legislature who wish to
see ability instead of money govern in
choosing man to represent the common.
wealth in the highest legislative body OF
the nation.
The writer has had no conversation OF
communication with Mr.. Worst on the
subject, and knows nothing as to the
chances of his success. But. if the mem.
bers of the coming session should
see fit to send Emmons county's favor
ite son to Washington, they will make no
mistake. He is beyond question the
best orator in the state, and has done ex-
cellent service to the republican party in
the late campaign. He is gentleman Of
popular manners, and would soon be one
of the most influential members of that
body, and strong power in advancing
the interests of the state. In Emmons
county his selection would give un.
bounded satisfaction to all republicans,
and the democrats--in the absence of the
power to choose one of their own party
would be prompt to congratulate him
on his success. He is an actual farmer
lone Of those who farms with his own
hands--and his interests and sympathiea
are with that class. Mr.. Worst is poor
man, and, if the senatorial campaign
should develop into an auction sale, of
course he will stand no show; but, if it
should prove to be an election, the REC-
ORD believes that when the campaign
comes on the senator from Emmons
county will be found to be formidable
candidate.

FOR SOCIAL PURITY.

There is an era Of morality in Pitts

and the police authorities to active hos.

and the chief of police have issued orders
requiring the closing of disorderly
houses, thus forcing the inmates to leave
the city or starve, or steal, or so to
work.

made a speech to them.

Ia PATlENT WlTH IHEM.

II twould be ungenerous not TO allow the
Republican editors some latitude in con
demning little things, and things for
which the Democrats are not responsible.
They have nothing else to do. They
cannot refer TO the conduct Of their party
without shame; they cannot turn their
bleary eyes to the future without
despair They are unable to apologize
for their sins; they have no hopes Of
salvation.
Some of them, with more optimism
than discretion, profess TO beliye that
they have an issue in McKinleyism, some
hope that the Force bill issue
will come up again, while
others, more stolidly partisan or less i'm
pressionable still. believe that the
bloody-shirt issue may be revivifed
Such men have their futures behind
them. They as Walter Bagehot said,
are willing to undergo martyrdom rather
than receive new idea.
Many Of those editors, and the men
whom they represent are our neighbors,
and in other matters than politics they
are sensible, worthy citizens; hence we
cannot send them TO the insane asylum.
We must treat them kindly and allow
them time to recover. They are in an
abnormal condition of MUD; they are
subject to craze, their minds are not
working properly.
Not many years ago they. or people
like them, were burning Ann Hutchin-
son, driving Roger Williams from no me,
cheating the Indians; and then as Tories,
attempting to persuade our forefathers
that the stamp tax was such little
burden that they should endure it rather
than assert the freedom they came TO
this country to establish.
In all ages new ideas, improvements
and discoveries have met with the intens
est and cruelest hostility No mar ever
came teaching anything new, good, OF
true that he was not scorned, prosecuted,
and often murdered. There are always
those in every community ready tC
cruelty Christ, to prosecute a Copper
nicus, TO kill a Columbus.
When Paul came to Greece teaching
the gospel of Christ old Demetrius raised
a bowling mob to drive him away becaus,
his infant industry in silver and brass
Dianas would be destroyed, he would be
compelled to reduce wages and cheap

silver idols would replace the worship OF
Diana of Ephesus.

gospel. 1t is curious perversity Of tn,
human mind TO regard anything new
with suspicion TO hate the man who in
troduces it; and prosecuting him. they
are often ready to murder him.
The Mckinley editors of the present
day may not go to such extremes but
they are only stayed by the magnanimity
and the amiability of the people; they
could easily be driven to persecute us
They have tried 20 shackle us with Fore,

The average clothing man
knows little and cares less for
either the art or the philoso-

The average American man

He wants the warmth of the
pelt and the possible grace Of
the cocoon. He secures the
former, the latter eludes him.
Grace in mems clothes, es-
peciallf in over-garments, is
subtle-very hard to express.
The clothier that secures it
succeeds. The grace in our

In is not at all curious that Secretary
Foster does not seem to comprehend the
condition of the Treasury or TO feel the
least compunction for his miserable at.
tempts. foolish and partisan, TO conceal
its condition from the people Ia the
end It must be known and in any event
It would have reflected less discredit on
the administration Mr.. Foster is trying
TO serve, to have the exact financial con
dition Of the country known. Conceal
ment is always unwise, frequently it is
dangerous. It always implies shame,
sometimes it signifies guilt. Soon after
Mr. Foster took charge of the finances
the reports, which had been made
monthly in such a form rs to show the
precise status Of the surplus and of the
balances in gold and silver currency ON
hand were changed so that no man can
tell whether there is a surplus or deficit.
If Mr.. Harrison had been reelected this
iugglery of the accounts would have
counted very seriously against him and
against his administration; nobody
but a demagogue of the shallowest type
could have expected that it would have
been Of any service to him; as, in fact,
the event proved that it was not. If
anything that Fostering of the Treasury
reports must have been as hurtfui as it
was foolish and disreputable. In New
York state, for example, the great fnan-
cial centre, the Harrison vote is 40, 600
less than it was in 1883. II is not
an unwarranted assumption that the
people Of the empire state suspected the
wisdom, If they did not condemn the dis.
honesty, of such financial trickery. IL is
worthy Of the wild cat banking OF
which the stump speakers proclaimed the
imminent disaster so vehemently

IN speaking before the convention to
advocate the Nicaraguan canal at New
Orleans, Senator Morgan contended that
tee present senate bill providing for the
Endorsement Of 500, QUO, 900 Of bonds
should be pressed to passage. He said
that the canal company was willing to
donate TO the government OF the United
States $7o 000, 900 Of the bonds In order
10 lodge the control Of the canal in

the concession Of a neutral strip of land
along the canal by Nicaragua would
prove to be really the cession Of so much
territory to the United States. It was
simply a question now whether the advo.
