SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

A short time ago magazine whose am
bition exceeded its circulation advertised a
piano to be given for the first correct answer
TO the following: IF 800 cats eat 800 rats
in so days. how many cats will ii take to eat
100 rats in 100 days?' In an unlucky mo-
men for myself and friends, I determined to
find the answer, and for the time being be-
came changed from an intelligent member of
society into little short of a lunatic.
Il
I intended to solve the problem in about
five minutes Alas! minutes melted into
hours. l neglected my dinner, my supper,
and even forgot to go to bed. L tried it by
fractions. l tried it by decimals tried it by
algebra, got desperate and called in the aid
of my neigbbors; we studied and studied
until at last L dreamt cats and ate rats.
Individuals trees horses or rattle
snakes became but so many rats or
cats to my disordered imagination.
We bought 800 apples and tried to imagine
ourselves 800 cats, but we only made our
selves sick with no satisfactory result. | went
around muttering, cats rats, rats, cats,

formed select RAT and Cat Society," and

mediately, even offering TO provide the other
three-fourths Of the unfortunate cat to clear
the editorial Office of rats, if he would hasten
his reply. In.
i
Upon receiving notice that we mad made q
mistake the members of our society, who had
survived the disappointment, set out to
catch rats and cats to prove that we were
correct. After making a business of hanging
around roofs and back fences with boot
jacks, old shoes and pop-guns for
many nights we had succeeded in
catching ten sick looking CATS when
my ten year old niece returned from
school and found the correct answer in
ten minutes. Two of the select r. and G.
society had committed suicide and four had
taken to drink, the remaining members
looked shaky, but are slowly recovering their
health. But we all haye our opinion about
paper that would publish such simple pro-
blem and expect educated people to come
down. to it. All we have to show for our
work is the twenty-five cents we make by sell
ing our cats to the sausage factory.

THE sENAToRsaIP.

1t is beyond dispute that nine -tenths
of Minnesota Republicans belong to
the BLAINE. or conservative faction of
the party. They are opposed to extreme
McKinleyism, to the force bill and to
billion-dollar extravaganza. They re-
allze that the country has suffered from
the reckless radicalism of the HARRI-
SON MCKINLEY DAVENPORT policy,
and that Minnesota, with its vast agri-
cultural interests, has especially suf-
fered from excessive tariff taxation.
Therefore man who upholds Mckin-
leyiSm in its utmost impositions, who
gives his support to the repudiated
force bill and votes for federal bayonets
at election booths, and who persistently
encourages the criminal extravaganza
which occasions deficit in the treas
ury Notwithstanding the enormous rev.
enueS accruing from excessive taxation
such man, we say. is representative
of the tenets of the controlling faction
in the national Republican party, but
unrepresentative of the principles and
desires of Minnesota Republicans.
Z. X. DAVIS is. such man. lie is IN
entire accord with the national policy
of his party-the policy which turned
BLAINE down and led the party to the
most disastrous defeat ever suffered by
any political party in this country. But
he is not in accord with his party i'll this
state. If Minnesota Republicans desire
merely to send faithful servitor of Nc
KINLEY, of DAVENPORT. of the Pacific
railroads and of corporation interests in
general to the senate, they will re-elect
G. K. DAVIS. But if they desire to
send to the senate man who.will be
representative of themselves, and who
will put the interests of Minnesota be-
fore the interests of the mill owners of
Rhode Island, they will not send c. K.
DAVIS back to Washington as his own
successor.

BACK IN THEIR BANKS.
Floods in the Washington Rivers Are
Fast Receding.

Fast Receding.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. "a. -NOtwith
standing the constant and at times
heavy rain for the past five days, the
rivers of Western Washington are get
ting back into their banks, and the flood
will probably be over in another twenty
four hours, and then some estimate can
be made of the damage done to the
rich valleys, where the flood YVES
naturally at its worst. The only
streams that are now on the rampage
are the Black and Duwamish rivers in
King county, the former stream flow
ing into the latter, and the Snohomish.
All of the streams that have their head
waters in the mountains have gone back
into their banks, the water falling as
rapidly as it rose, but the more sluggish
valley water ways are still surcharged,
and water does not flow from the flats
very rapidly. The big log jam in the
Snohomish river, above the Great
Northern railway bridge has not yet
been broken but the river is not rising,
and there is but little debris coming
down, so it is almost certain that the
bridge will be able to stand the strain
until the danger is passed. As
the water leaves the Snohomish flats
the latter are found to be badly cut
in many places by the effort of
the water to find a new channel, and
logs and debris have foated into and
covered land that was in fine state of
cultivation. Many farmers have lost all
their hay crops and the hop fields were
all denuded of poles. The monster jam
in the Duwamish river, four miles south
of Seattle, has been blasted and cut on
one side of the county bridge, which is
now safe. The whole town of River Park
consisting of about fifty homes of work
ing people, is completely under water
The people saved but little furniture OF
clothing, as they had to move in the
night. In the Duwamish district, which
is almost exclusively given up to dairy
farming, several hundred head of cattle
have been standing in water three fee
