Democratic Blowout.

Last evening the Democrats OF
Princeton had a big blowout in honor
of the election of Grover Cleveland.
The boys rendezvoused at Roos Bros
hall and the procession started at 1880
P. M. and made the rounds OF the vii
lage. About 100 rch-bearers were in
line. A number of banners and trans
parencies were carried by enthusiastic
Democrats, and Ross Jones' drum corps
furnished inspiring music. Dan
Spaulding donned his Sons of Veteran
uniform and marshalled the procession
in true military style. It was an en-
thusiastic and we'll behaved crowd. In
making the circuit Of the lower end Of
town the procession halted in front of
N. E.. Jesmer's splendid new mansion,
every window of which was beautifully
illuminated, and gave three cheers for
the owner. Tho EDITORS house was
also visited and the occupants heartily
cheered, an undeserved complement
which is gratefully acknowledged by
the writer. A bonfire was lighted on
Main street, and after giving three
cheers for Grover Cleveland the pro-
cessionists quietly disbanded. Four
years hence, boys, when the Republi-
cans celebrate the election Of their
presidential candidate we will recipro-
cate your neighborly courtesies.

FOUR D.A Wis v O'T I!
The FOrty-Sixth Senatorial Dis
trict Redeemed and Four
Republicans Elected.

Il 8 5
Republicans Elected.
Small Pluralities but Fuller,
Fleming, Dunn and Lee get
There just the Same.
Stivers the Only Democrat who
Came Within Hailing Dis
tance of the Repubs.
After a hard fought and closely
contested fight the four Republi-
can candidates for the legislature
in the 10th senatorial district are
winners, and Fuller, Fleming,
Dunn and Lee are elected by safe
pluralities in the order named.
Until Monday it was thought that
Hon. H. G. Stivers had downed
the gallant w. A. Fleming, but
the official canvass in Grow Wing
county put Fleming out Of danger,
and Dunn, Lee and Stivers were
neck and neck. The official can
vass in Todd county, the result Of
which was made known in Prince
ton Monday evening, settled the
matter in favor of the Republican
candidates. We cannot get the
correct figures for all the legisla-
tive candidates in time for this
issue, but the correctness of the
figures as far as the five leading
candidates are concerned will not
be disputed for they are official.
Mile Laos county: Dunn, 652;
Fleming, $50; Lee, 440; Fuller,
42; Stivers, 159. Todd county:
Dunn, 1,019; Fleming, 1929; Lee,
1859; Fuller, 1923; Stivers, 956.
Morrison county: Dunn, 913;
Fleming, 935; Lee, 1902; Fuller,
|1,%0. Grow Wing county: Dunn,
7o6; Fleming, 891; Lee, $50; Full
Ter, 646; Stivers, 668. Totals:
Dunn, 1920; Fleming, 1906;
Lee, 1921; Fuller, 1881; Stivers,
1928. Dunn leads Stivers 60
votes, Fleming leads Stivers II
votes, Lee leads Stivers SO votes
and Fuller leads Stivers 153 votes.
All the Republican candidates ran
ahead of their ticket in their own
counties. But none of the coun-
ties in the district gave all the
Republican nominees a plurality
save noble little Mile Laos.
Mile Laos gave Dunn til 8 largest
majority he ever received in the
countryside; it also gave Elem
ing 311, Lee 301 and Fuller 303
over Mr.. Stivers. There was no
trading in Mile Laos. The home
candidate fought as hard for his
colleagues as he did for himself,
and the result proves that he did.
The legislative candidates IN Mile
Laos county ran ahead OF the
State and National Republican
tickets, and equally as we'll as
Judge Searle. We are proud of
little Mile Laos county, and will
fight with more vim than ever to
promote her interests. We are
placed under lasting obligations to
the Democrats of Mile Laos
county for their support Of the
Republican legislative ticket, and
our colleagues should also feel
grateful to them. Six years ago
Mile Laos county furnished The
majorities that elected Senator
Buchanan and representatives
Flynn and Lum, this year she
saved at least two Of the Republi-
can candidates for the legislature,
from defeat. A bitter and yind1c-
tive fight was waged against the
home candidate in every county of
the district and especially in his
own county. Mile Laos county
answered the cowardly calumina-
tors by giving him majority of
513 over the highest Democrat on
the ticket.
We have no particular affection
for Hon. H. G. Stivers, Of Grow
Wing, but all must acknowledge

SPEAKING of second terms in the
presidential office the St. Paul Neacs
says: 'But seven times in the histo-
ry of the whole country, from Wash
ington to Harrison, has president
been given second term, and each of
these second terms has succeeded a
war;" This is stretching the facts
somewhat. Jefferson succeeded him
self, but it was so long after the war
of the revolution that incident cut no
figure in the matter. Jackson sue
ceeded himself, but so many years had
elapsed since the war of 1872 that
that event cut no figure whatever in
the matter. And it is doubtful if the
war of 1872 cut much of figure in
the reelection of either Madison or
Monroe.

cannot very well be nominated unless
his name is before the body which

ance upon the subject Mr.. Blaine eX-
pressly declares that his. name shall
not go before the convention for NOM

until the great Secretary takes as pub

of mind, it would be more in accord

ing him for the presidency would keep

ANOTHER THEORY GONE.

1t has always been the cry of the
free trader that if you want the
trade of country, you must in
turn trade with it. 1t is statement
that has been made many times, and
as many times disproved by existing
facts. But the free trader has been
persistent in his adherence to it, and
especially so in discussing our trade
relations with England. But in his
recent speech declaring free trade to
be failure in England Lord Sails
bury destroyed this theoretical view
of the free trader. He said that in
regard to tariffs England had the
most to complain from the United
States, but he added:
''It so happens that the United
States maintains and furnishes US
with articles, which are essential to
our manufacturers. We cannot ex-
clude either without serious injury to
ourselves. | am not prepared in or
der to punish other countries, to in
fiict dangerous wounds on ourselves.
matters wherein we will not suffer
much whether importation continues
or diminishes.
There is but one meaning that can
be attached to this significant state
ment. and that is that England buys
where she can do the best-where she
can buy the cheapest. And she will
so buy whether the PEOPLE having
those articles for sale, buy of her or
not. England finds that she cannot
discriminate against the United
States, because it maintains and
furnishes US with articles, which are
essential to our manufacturers.
England dosen't trade with the
United States in hopes of winning a
large trade in return, but simply be-
cause it is to her advantage so to
trade. She would so trade if our
trade with her was insignificant in
amount, and so soon as she can find
the same article of better quality and
cheaper price elsewhere, she will i'm
mediately transfer her trade there,
and would do so, though our trade
with her amounted to many millions.
1t is not matter of sentiment or
of theory with England, but simply
question Of where she, can do the best.
Sweep away all barriers to trade and
let England's merchants have as free
access to our markets as the mer-
chant of one state has in another,
and English manufacturers, though
they flood us with goods would not
buy an extra dollars worth of us, ex-
cept that in event of the great over
supply of socalled raw material be-
cause of reduced consumption here,
prices would fall so low, that they
could buy to better advantage here
than in any other part of the world.
1t is only under such circumstances
that her trade can be greatly in
creased. Do we want to make the
sacrifice?

A PAN-AMERICAN RAILWAY.

At the time of the Pan-American
Congress it was proposed that Pan
American railway be built. At that
time there was considerable talk up
on the subject, but of late little has
been said about it. But the matter
has not been allowed to drop, and the
day may not be far distant when such
road will be built. For some time
back there has been party making
survey for the purpose of finding out
if such road can be built. When
last heard from the surveying party
was in the United States of Columbia.
The party had divided into three sec
tions and were pursuing three differ
ent routes. They had been confront
ed with no serious difficulties and
from their reports it is believed that
the construction of such a road will
be comparatively easy.
Could such a road be built it would
prove of great benefit to the business
interests of this country, for it would
be the means of opening up direct
communication with our sister repub-
lies. Railroads are civilizers and the
penetration of such a road into these
revolutionary countries might have
the good effect in bringing about
state of affairs which would cultivate
a more peaceful feeling. "There are
three things" says the New York
Press, (which are highly desirable for
the various South American repub-
lies. These are peace among them
selves, domestic and national; the de-
velopment of spirit of unity and
closer commercial relations with the
United States. A railroad running
north and south bringing these South
ern republics into more or less connec-
tion with each other and with the
great Republic of the North, would be
exceedingly helpful in these direc-
tions."

IT is said that the question of adj
hitting women to seats in the general
conference of the M. E. church hinged
upon the definition of the word clay
men," and that the meaning of this
word was considered by the judiciary
committee of that body. That COM
mittee after looking the matter up
decided that according to the Meth
odist discipline, the privilege of par
ticipating in its conference was re-
served to the clergy and the 'laymen,
and that the word laymen' did not
include both sexes" This may be
getting the matter down to fine
point, but no doubt it conforms with
the early practices of the church.
1t falls much short of an nineteenth
civilization, however, and the church
ought to step in accordance with the
times. This is an age of progress and
the church should move with it. The
women undoubtedly do larger share
of the work in keeping the church up,
and if they are good enough for that,
and have the ability to keep the local
organization going, they ought to be
entitled to seats in the highest coun-
ellis of the church. The matter was
again referred back to the conferences
with the understanding that unless
they insist by two-thirds vote to
restrict the government of the
church to men, the word clay
men" shall mean both sexes. 1t
is doubtful if a two-thirds vote
can be obtained, and in all probabili-
ty it is question of only short time,
when women will be admitted to all
the privileges of the general confer
ence.

THURSDAY members of the Uni
ted States Senate, and a good many
others were surprised by that body
taking up the silver question again.
No one had any idea that the matter
would come to the front again this
session, when suddenly it was sprung
and the Senate went on record on a
vote to take it up. The bill taken up
is the one introduced by Senator
Stewart, and it is said it will now
have the right of way in the Senate
except for appropriation bills. 1t is
altogether probable that the politi-
clans who are favorable to free Silver
will work the matter for all it is
worth so as to make the most politi-
cal capital possible out of it. The
dispatches state that when the vote
to take up the bill was taken, Sena-
tor Hill slipped out into the corridors
so as to escape going on record.

THE lumbermen and lOggers
throughout the numbering regions of
the northwest are happy. The heavy
fall of rain during the past few weeks
has enabled them to get their logs
out, consequently they feel better
than for years. And as the bright
sun comes out day after day, farmers
tell us that the only harm the rainy
spell did was to delay corn planting,
and though somewhat late we have
heard many hopeful expressions in re-
gard to that crop during the past few
days. Small grains are said to be
looking fine, and the indications all
point to another large crop in that
line.
