admins ration from Republican to
Democratic rule does not mean
special harm to US. Such conviction
would crush forever the present for>

south, wipe out in great measure
political fraud and murder and cause
the Reorganization of parties in the
wake of principle and not race. As
political Office is the highest insignia

Seftlers' League.

The settlers on indemnity lands held a
mass meeting at the Rink Saturday. The
meeting was called to order by Rudolph
Distler, of Cosmopolis, who gave much
valuable information ON the subject.
There were present about thirty settlers
who are living on indemnity lands, and
who are, and for long time have been,
waiting for this question to be settled.
Its settlement would be of more impor-
lance to this section of the country than
all the bonds that could ever be voted.
The object OF the meeting was to stir UP
the people at Washington, D. c., and
keep the ball a-rolling until something is
done. The league elected Distler, presi-
dent, Borden, vice president. and Baker,
treasurer.
Let every one who is at all interested
come to the meeting.

Having a Good Time.

Ii a man wants to have a really good
time. he cannot do better than to try
newspaper editing. There is lots of fun
in it for the reason that if it contains too
much reading matter, the people won't
take it. If the type is too large, it don't
contain enough reading matter. 1t the
type is too small the people won't read
it. If we publish Geographic reports, the
people will say they are all lies. We
omit them, people will say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect. II we have few jokes, they say
We are rattle-headed. If we omit them,
they say we are old fossils. If we pub
lish original matter, they condemn us for
not giving selections. If We publish. Sc
lections they say we are lazy for not writ
ing more, and giving them what they
read in other newspapers. If we give a
man complimentary notice, then they
censure us for being partial. II we re-
main in the Office and attend to business,
folks say we are too proud to mihgle with
our fellows. If we do not, they say we
never attend to usiness.-Mendocin

The Bifurcated Neither Garment,

A woman fashion writer asserts that by
patient archaeological research carried on
by one woman it has been proved, for the
qualification of all women, that the bifur-
Gated neither garment supposed to be spe-
cially distinctive Of the masculine toilet
rightly belongs to the feminine dress. The
women of Judah, it seems, were the first
wearers of the garment in bifurcated form,
and man, perceiving the convenience and
comfort of this article of dress, evolved by
the superior intelligence of woman, appro-
priated the same for his own use and doom
ed his womankind to cucumber their limbs
with flowing robes, which render it impos-
sible for them to cope with man in the use.
