We of the United States have al
ways proclaimed this to be a govern
ment by the people. In the light of
our political history, the lie is fatty
given to this fatterIng delusion. If
we are governed otherwise than by
the men who head the financial insti
tutions Of this country we would like
to see where it comes in. 1t is time
the order of things was changed and
the people given chance to govern
awhile.

The senate situation is changing SO
frequently that it is impossible to
make any definite forecast of the re-
suit, further than that the repealers
are going to come out several laps
ahead, whatever the final ending.
Monday it looked as though hybrid
compromise measure, with 5000,
900, 600 bond-issue-wart on it, was
sure to pass within forty eight hours.
Tuesday, owing to disagreement be-
tween democratic senators, all hopes
OF compromise were abandoned. Re-
ports are now sent out from the cap
itol that the repealers see way TIC
force cloture rule on the senate, which
will soon bring about vote ant
result in unconditional repeal.

 There were four in the lot and we soon had them handcuffed, and then we sat down to breakfast and enjoyed it, though must confess that by this time the condition I was in physically was not pleasant.

Then when he got away and had us penned up like rats we came to the conclusion that we had better git out the best way we could. The one we thought was dead only needed repairs, so we repaired him, and we lsnowed you'd be here oimeby to look fer us, and probably coming out so early in the morning you might be hungry. So, beggin' the gents pardon fer trespassin, we turned in and fixed you up nice breakfast.

HE WAS HOPEFUL.
Faith of a Simple Minded Old Fellow Who
 Was Looking for His Wife.


 Was Looking for His Wife.
 Hew footsore and weary and wasted by the infirmities of age. His thin, white hair floated over his shoulders and the expression of his faded blue eyes indicated diseased state of mind. Between great bites of crackers and cheese he told the story of his long search:
 We lived in Boston, Nellie and I worked hard, and for a long time we were happy. After the baby came Nel- lie grew discontented and tired of pow erty, she said, and asked how ever we were going to educate our little girl and make lady of her on ten dollars week. You see Nellie looked so far ahead. ''She was very miserable, poor dear, and used to find her crying when came home from my work evenings She would sometimes say she wished she had not married a poor man. Of course she meant she wished l had been rich. for Nellie loved me.
 .'One evening when the baby was about a year old went home from my work as usual. but Nellie was not there She had taken the baby and gone without leaving a word of fare well.
 That was twenty years ago. The 10th day of June, 1875. Nellie went away with the baby. and I've been hunting for them ever since.
 
 ''Once l saw her in New York. She was well dressed and accompanied by fashionable-lookin gentleman I ran up and spoke to her-but l must have changed so she did not know me, for she screamed and nearly fainted, and her companion struck me over tho head with his cane. l was stunned and blinded for few minutes When I recovered a crowd had gathered around me. A policeman asked what the trouble was I told him all about it, and when l said she was my wife every body laughed and called me crazy. But I did not give up looking for her. and never will l must be going now. sir. for it is getting late"
 Where are you going next?'

The Lumberman Sums Up the
Case in His Behalf.

The Lumberman Sums Up the
Case in His Behalf.
The Northwestern Lumberman at
Minneapolis will this week publish an
article condemning the recent pine land
decision, concluding as follows:
ITO sum up the whole matter, the con-
nection of G. A. Smith d Co. with the
purchase Of the stumpage in question Is
as follows: G. A. Smith 81 Co. were
cutting timbsr adjoining this land, on
which there was some 100000 feet Of
timber, and they made application to
the state land commissioner for the
purchase of it. He was willing to sell
at 50 per thousand, and c. <. Smith
q Co. were willing to pay this price
and on these terms entered into con-
tract with the state land commissioner
and proceeded to cut and remove the
same. A member of the last legisla-
turc entered a complaint to the effect
that the state land commissioner had
exceeded his authority under the law
authorizing the sale of timber at private
sale, notwithstanding the fact that it
was the custom so to do, and in the
same manner, by several of his
predecessors in Office. The matter
was submitted by this official to
the attorney general for his opinion on
this point, who advises the land COM
missioner that he was authorized to
make the sale. The case was by order
of the legislature taken to the courts for
a judicial decision, and the court has
just rendered decision adverse to the
attorney general. These are the exact
facts, nc more, no less. Who is in
fault III this matter, the party purchas-
Ing or the one who Sold?'

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

If the people are to be taxed for the
benefit of the sugar growers of the
country, there is no reason why the tax
should not be levied and collected as
other protective taxes are levied and
collected. There are many objections
to the present system of paying a
bounty. 1t costs the treasury a direct
expenditure of about fifteen million dol
lars year. This money must be raised
by the imposition of taxes upon other
products or articles of import, and for
that reason is doubiy burdensome. And
it is unjust as well. for, if the sugar
grower has any right to demand protec-
ton, SO has the farmer who raises wheat
corn and potatoes.
The effect of a tariff on sugar is to
raise its price at home. A bounty paid
to the grower serves the purpose of Civ.
ng profit to the planter, but, instead
of adding to. it takes from the revenues
of the government. The people get
their sugar trife cheaper, but have to
pay increased prices upon other articles
to make up for the outlay. This is a
species of class favoritlsm that is unjust
and obnoxious, and should not be toler-
ated.
The sugar planters of the South need
no more protection than the farmers of
the West, and there is neither sense nor
justice In extending 1t to them. We do

NOW PRETTY.
The Once Homely Girl Who Has a
Rubber Jaw

Miss Daisy Bedwell, the sixteen-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Bed
we'll, of Yazoo City, Miss, was success
fully operated upon on August 81 at the
Roosevelt hospital. in New York, for
facial deformity which threatened to
embitter her whole life. The operation
was performed by DR.. Frank Hartley,
OF No. 46 East Thirty-fourth street, con-
Sulting surgeon at Roosevelt hospital,
and George Howe Winkler, NJ. D.. ID. d.
s., Professor of operative dentistry at
the New York Dental school.
DIR. Winkler, to whose attention the
case was brought in the first instance,
said he found upon INQUIRY that when
the girl was four-and-a half years old
she lost almost the entire lower Jaw on
the right side by necrosis. due prob
ably to blow or fall, which fractured
the bone so that 1t came away almost
entirely by the sloughing away of the
tissues of the neck under the an
gle of the jaw. and very little through
surgical interference. DR.. Winkler
found, on examination, that ths
periosteum had finally filled up with
new growth of bones. which did
not grow any longer then four-and-
one half-year-old child's should be.
normal. The effect was to push the
chin around under the right cheek.
DR.. Winkler, believing that if the new
growth Of bone were sawed through if
would be possible to force the chin
around in front of the face and hold il
there permanently, advised all opera.
ton, which was performed as stated by
Mr. Hartley.
This was done by soldering upon the
lower jaw an upright bolt, which slid
up and down on gold bar soldered to
the upper jaw, allowing the jaws per.
feet freedom to open and close, but re-.
tanning the lower jaw perfectly in the
new position to which it had been
brought.
The operation is regarded as highly
successful and the good results obtained
are pretty sure TO be permanent. Miss
Bedwell and her mother have left for
their home, and the young girl is as
happy as if she had inherited a fortune,
for she is now very pretty young
woman.
