Guests at the Kennedy house were in

before. Wednesday there arrived IRON
Florida bridal couple who had come di-

garden of female loneliness.
The couple reached the hotel late in the

Advertising Scheme at Niagara Falls.
From the Electrical Review

iected by electric search lights on the
clouds over London would be novel Gd-
vertising idea said an electrical engi-
neer. I've got better one than that.
Why not place electric search lights on
the Canadian side Of Niagara Falls and
project advertising announcements on
the American Falls The immense cur
tain OF water would mako a splendid
background, ana the rapidly falling
water would produce novel effects on the

A CHANCE FOR REFORM.

1t is said that the hesitancy of Sen
ator Carlisle in accepting the proffer-
ed portfolio of the treasury is due to
the fact that he is comparatively
poor man and the expense incident to
the maintenance of the social re-
spOnSibilities that are imposed be-
cause Of the office is far in excess of
the salary Of $4,000. In order to dis
charge the social Obligations connect
ed with his present position of Sena-
tor, he is obliged to depend upon his
law practice in addition to his salary
of 1000 Commenting upon this, the
Winona Republican says:
If all this be true, then what is
needed, instead of an increase of Off
cial salaries, is inauguration of reign
OF Republican simplicity at the nation
al capital. Ii it be true that cabi-
net officer cannot live on $4,000 nor a
Senator on $1,000, then there is alto
gether loo much extravaganza in
Washington. This constitutes a
grave danger to the republic interests,
lOT COITupUlOD Is Uuo luVdIldUlo COH-
comitant of official extravaganza.
The voters of the country have. sup
posably, manifested in strong terms
their aversion to the plutOcratic ten
Gency of the timeS-cOnnecting this
tendency, unjustly, we think, with
the legislation of the party now about
to retire temporarily from power.
The lesson was not administered just
where it was needed, but of its real
necessity there can be no reasonable
! doubt. We look to the incoming adj
ministration to give it effect in rela-
tion to all public affairs. The White
House will-may we predict?--set
the much needed example OF plain
| republican economy and simplicity.

WASHINGTON LIFE TOO EXPEN-
SIVE

Thefollowing in regard to Congress-
man John Lind, we clip from a Wash
ing dispatch to the Minneapolis Trib-
tN,e. IL carries with it lesson that
should be needed by young men, who
are ambitious to shine in the politi-
cal field, to the neglect of their bust
ness pursuits, and shows that though
official life may be fascinating it is
not always profitable:
| Congressman John Lind. of Mime
| sofa, presents an example of one man
who has had enough of public honors.
Mr.. Lind voluntarily retireS from
congress at the end of the present
session, having refused renOmina-
tlon. This is one of the most remark
able cases in the history of American
politics. Mr.. Lind is popular and
well qualified to perform the duties
of representative. His standing in
congress as well as with his cOnstitu-
entS, is firsG-clasS. He is regarded as
one of the ablest debaterS in the
House, and no Northwestern Repub-
llcan has more influence on public
questions. His reputation is equally
good at home and he could have any
office within the gift of the people of
the Second district.
He retireS from the public service
simply because he cannot afford longer
to remain in it. Mr.. Lind states that
he is as poor today as he was when he
entered congress. His salary is barely
sufficient to pay living expenses in
| Washington. and he has not been able
to accumulate property sor lay up a
dollar for his old age. In discussing
this phase of his experience he has
often said that man can do better
with $4,000 year IN an interior town
than on 5000 in city like Washing
| ton, where it is next to impossible to
avoid numerous expenses that do not
arise in small place.
Mrs. Lind who is loved by large
csastcltj acquaintance in the city as
well as at her Minnesota home, fully
shares her husbands sentiments and
will be glad to settle down again in
New Ulm, where Mr.. Lind will re-
sumo the practice of law. 1t is stated
he has given up any notion he may
have entertained of locating in Min
neapOlis or St. Paul.

If Calico or any Of his old asso-
ciateS could look upon the progress

scope since he first gave it to the

which he produced early in the seven
tenth century, magniffed only three

tronomers claim to have discovered a

Mars and find new wonders at almost
every sweep Of the heavens. AS to
the future possibilities of the tele-
scope, Mr.. Alvin G. Clark, who. is one
of the men who has done the most to
enlarge the usefulness of that instru-
ment, says there is practically no limit
to the said possibilities and that

NUMBER 80
PROSPERITY HAS BEEN GENERAL.

Any one who has read the reviews
OF the years business, and the local
improvements that have been made,
as published in the various local
papers, must have been struck by the
refutation which these reviews gave
to the stories that were spread by the
free traders and Populist speakers
during the recent campaign. With
out exception these reviews have told
a story of progress and prosperity. In
most instances it has been a progress
unparalleled in the former history of
the towns where made. They show
that despite of the stories told, the
people are not Impoverished, for the
vast majority Of the Improvements
were made by the masses of the peo-
pie, who we have been repeatedly told
were growing poorer. And the record
of the years business was along the
same line, assuming greater proper
tiOns than ever before. An impOv-
erished people do not progress in this
way. Business tiOurishes because the
mass of the people are able TO buy
more or less of this or that which they
need or desire. When matters are
APPLE to indulge in few extra things
that go to make life comfortable, the
grand total swells the volume of bust
ness to great proportions, and helps to
spread prosperity everywhere.
And the list of improvements made,
alike tell the same prosperous story. Ii
the whole matter could be sifted to
the bottom, it would no doubt he
found that the increase Of homes
among the wage-earners had been
large. We know that this is so in
several instances, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that it is quite general
The cost Of these homes as given is
modest, but that cuts no figure what
ever, they belong to the occupant, and
are comfortable. They may not all
be entirely clear of debt, but the vast
majority of them soon will be, aud
then there is no possibility of the
heartleSS landlord ever standing be-
tween the occupant, and that COM
Portable shelter which his loved ones
deserve.
The story as we have said is one
that would have been impossible if
matters were in the shape that the
extremists pictured, land more emphat-
ically than anything else testify to
the fact that the masses of the people
have shared 10 the general prosperity
that has come to the country during
the last third of century.

II is said that the Democratic and
POpuliSt members Of the legislature
have agreed upon scheme to vote
to cut down ali expenses, SO as to make
it appear that the Republicans are
eXtrayagant. This will probably not
deter the Republicans from making
appropriations in keeping with the
needs of the state. The people Of
Minnesota are an intelligent class,
and will see through the scheme of
the opposition without any difficulty,
especially when they recall their eX-
travagance Of two years ago. The
present legislature has not, and is
not doing much talking on the
subject, but it has already evinced a
disposition for business and economy
that the people expect TO see full

SEVERAL of the states to the west
of us seem to be having considerable
trouble in electing a United States
Senator. This is not because there
are not plenty of candidates. The
woods in most cases seem to be full OF
men who are willing to sacrifice
themselves for the good of their cOun-
try. The trouble seems to be entirely
due to the fact that no one party has
a majority in the legislature.
