1t is getting to be the practice at the
postoffice that when mail arrives, it is
worked until the people become rest

open and the undistributed mail left
until unskillei hands can take their
time for its disposition. 1t is there

go without until the next regular trip,
something that business men can i'll
afford to do, 1t is also getting to he

assured that Reid had settled all his

them, and that the New York Tribune

Death of Mrs. w. HI. Brown.

Mrs. Brown, wife of W. II. Brown, died al
the residence of Mr.. Lantz Tuesday morn
ing at o'clock.
She was taken i'll with peritonitis several
weeks since. and from the start the case was
a serious one and it was apprehended that it
would necessitate an operation.
Last week she grew better, and for the
first time hopes for recovery were entertain
ed, but relapse set in and diagnosis re-
vealed the existence of an ovarian tumor.
Monday afternoon the attending physi-
clan, DR.. Haly, assisted by Drs. E. B. and
Charley Harrison, performed surgical
operation in order to save, or at least pre-
long. her life, from which the patient never
rallied. She rapidly grew worse and sue
cumbed the following morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown have been residents
of Napoleon but one month, having moved
here from Connecticut.
The deceased was a young woman about
so years of age and had no children.
The funeral was held Wednesday and the
remains we're inferred in Forest Hill ceme-
karu e. -- A-' sl.

AT the banquet given to Gen. Roger
A. Pryor in New York City, Oct. 9th,
1890, Chauncey M. Depew introduced
Grover Cleveland in the following
words:
"If were asked to name the most
forcible character in American life, the
man who best represents the energy,
the answering determination and the
courage of the true American, who
knows duty, and it alone, when public
service commands it, the man who
wars in war and is for peace in peace,
I would name Gen. w. T. Sherman;
but if I am to name the typical Ameri-
can, the man who loves and believes
in his country beyond everything else,
the man who, determining once in what
direction his duty leads, cannot be
swerved from the path-the man who
is doggedly persistant in what he be-
lieves to be right-the man who thinks
not of self, but of his country and its
needs, l would name Grover Cleveland.
What he has accomplished is the very
highest attribute to the possibilities of
American citizenship. A country law
yer in the city of Buffalo, he shed lus-
tire upon the high profession which he
had chosen. AS the Mayor of his native
city he presented as his record clean
and economical administration. Com
ing into the highest position in the land
without previous experience and with
scarcely precedent to guide him in
the conditions which surrounded him,
he won the affection OF his party and
commanded the respect and admiration
of his opponents, / find myself Ia one
of the proudest positions Of my life In
being permitted to present to you Gro
yer Cleveland as a typical American"

Ed. NORTHWEST
Let us again register our objection to the
needless changing of church bells. We have
too many churches to permit everyone to
set its mettle clashing and still keep in view
that biblical Injunction, remember the
Sabbath day and keep it holy" Ringing a
church bell from to 10 minutes may be
lots of fun for the sections but it is back
number and nuisance to those compelled
to listen. While several taps Of the bell
designating the hour for service is not out
Of place, still even that is unnecessary. ~he
hundreds of other societies extant do not
require the clashing Of discordant mettle to
call their members together. Y.

The Only Constitutional Tariff

The Democratic party proposes the
only Constitutional tariff.
The Constitution gives but one
purpose for levying tariffs and that
purpose is revenue.
Therefore, the Democratic party
would levy tariff for revenue only.
The Constitution has not word of
authority for a protective tariff.
Therefore the Democratic party
declares the protective system un-
constitutional.
