THURSDAY. December II, 1894.
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

Hon. S. 6. Cc.mstock OF Moorhead.
for one term Representative OF the old
Fifth congressional district of Minneso-
ia, of which Scearns county was then a
member he vas. has announced himself
q candidate for the United States senate,
TO succeed Hon. W. ID. Washhuvn, and is
actively engaged III securing Legislative
votes tor himself. BY what combina-
tod OF influences Mr.. Cumstock has
been brought to take this position an
tagonistic to Seuator " ashburn is not
known to the writer, but it is an inn
pertant element in thecoutest. That he
has the perfect right to aspire to the po-
sltion, ia c0mmon with ANY qualified
citizen OF the state, is not Questioned
That he would make an acceptable
senator If elected to the position with
out the wecessity OF acknowledgements
which might thereafter embarrass his
Conlstuck is clean. able, self reliant and
withal very safe man sto whom to
commit public interests.
And so is Senator Washburn. The
HERALD sees no reason why the latter
named gentlemen should be relegated to
private life, even though his place be
filled with has equal in all that goes to
make up q wortny senator. One thing
Mr.. Washburn has-and il is strong
element in his tavor---a record which.
is simply without spot or wrinkle. He
has represented Minnesota in the senate
for SIX Years in ITS every interest, not
only vigorously ANA effectively, but
without the slightest shadow of dis
elimination as between diverse anter-
ests or special localities. He has been a
representative of all of Minnesota He
occupies a commanding position among
gained BY that quality of service which
has characterized his utficial career. No
new man can step into his place and fill
it.
1t is to be presumed that the question
OF locality will play an important part
in the canvass in the legislature, but
there is nothing i'll it. Ii it could be
shown that Mr.. Wdsbburn had failed
or neglected to give any section of the
state, or any interest in it, his unquali-
tcd support by reason of his place of
residence, Or his business associations,
then there would be reasonable
ground for claiming that the country
should have this succession because it is
the country.
We're MIR. Washburn not candidate.
and upon personal qualifications and
not by reason Of locality, the HERALD
would very cheeriuilv give its adher
ance to the cause OF MIR. Comstock; but
under existing circumstances. it sees no
reason why Mr.. Washburn should not
be his own successor. He has earned
this recognition of his services in behalf
Of the state, and the republican party
will make a grave mistake if 1T lail to
give it.

An aged man of fourscore years,
Went slowly down the street;
cane he held in his nervcless hands,
His silvery locks the light breeze famed,
He walked with uncertain feet.
His form was bowed with age and toll,
His life had reached its span,
HIS heart to the song Of life beat time;
This song to end in a beautiful rhyme,
The song of christian man.
The children in the street did run,
In teasing, playful mood,
And caper round and pull his cane,
And little ones, who could lisp his name,
Said, Grandpa Rice is good.
But yesterday we saw him Join,
In childish, laughing shout;
To-day he sleeps peaceful sleep,
And friends around his bedside weep,
His lamp of life's gone out.
The bird will fly to a warmer chine,
Ere winter chills its breast
And why SO late, O, faithful heart,
Though loving friends are 10th to part,
10 leave this cold unrest.
Why need we mourn and grieve for one,
Whose life is likened to
A sheaf of wheat, that's fully ripe,
The reaper gathered in the night,
Bedamped by evening dew.

certain sound tfat it is ineligible to no

THE LEGISL AZURE.

The state legislature will meet on
Monday, January 7th, and there prom
ises to be Il very warm, if not acrimoni-
Gus contest at the opening, for the
speakership. Capt. Van SAINT of WInona
and r. l.. Gibbs OF Geneva, are the most
prominent candidates, and at present it
would be difficult to indicate which one
is III the Iead-both claiming it. An i'm
portant feature is the fact that the sena-
torial election is becoming involved in
this fight for the organization, and it IS
quite possible that the lesser interest to
the people at large will exert an undue
influence upon the greater one. 1t really
matters very little who shall select the
various legislative committees and pre-
side over the deliberations of the house
for session of three months; but it is
a matter OF very grave Importance as to
who shall represent the state in the
United States senate for term OF six
years. 1t certainly is not an encourage
ing augury for the legislature to become
involved in fierce fight as to it's organ
orea nization days before the session
begins. 1t does rot indicate united ac-
ton when it addresses itself to
the graver ISSUES of the legislation. The
Republican party has an overwhelming
majority. 1t cannot itit would, divi,e
the responsibility of it's action with
either the democrats or popuIists. The
record of the legislature will be the
record of the party. An appreciation Of
this fact ought to be an incentive to
united anil wise action which will com
mend itself. There are important mat
tiers OF legislation to lie met, grave
problems to he solved. and it will re-
quire the united intelligence and patriot
ism of the party to meet and solve
them. So long as the contest for the
organization engeniers no bitterness
and imperils no interests by reason of
divisions, no harm will result. One
thing is certain, however, members will

The Shea question seems to have attained
q permanent place in the discussion of local
affairs and may rise to the dignity of be-
coming a national issue. The torn BASQUE
and the broken beer-bottle may yet be *
hlbited on the huStings to arouse the indig-
nation Of the chivalric American people.
There must be an administration of Justice
IN the District that will not permit the out
RACES perpetrated upon Mrs. Shea to go I'M
resented 1t must be plainly understood
that a lady who. while her husband Is in
Jail. shows her wifely devotion by carrying
on his unlicensed bar. cannot have the sane
tity of her speak easy invaded by rude
policemen without an indignant protest. 1t
may be asserted that the able bodied Mrs
Shea Is abundantly able to eject the ag-
gressors, but the question Is whether 1t is
right to compel Mrs. Shea to exert herself
in that way. The appeal of Mrs. Shea to
the President to let her get at the grand
jury and through that body administer pun
ishment upon her prosecutors is still unde-
cided. but it has been made with confidence

1t Is trife premature and perhaps unfair
for those who are not In accord with the
present administration to announce the
possibility Of the withdrawal Of this govern
ment from the agreement by which Samoa
Is governed At present. that disturbed
cluster of islands is jointly controlled by
Great Britain, Germany and the United
States. but II is said that indications point
TO an effort to upset this international agree
ment and place the islands in the possession
Of one of the two aforementioned European
monarchies- The story is rather an improb-
able one. especially when 1t is remembered
how the people of the United States objected
to any prerequisite movement in Hawaii
The United States has no such deep personal
concern in Samoa as it has in Hawaii but
It has mercantile interests that are worth
considering, and the islands themselves will
become very valuable indeed when the
Nicaragua Canal is completed. There is no
reason why Great Britain should be per-
mitted to acquire additional territory in the
neighborhood of this country, but that it
will grab everything in sight unless strenu-
Gus objection is made by the American
people Is a not unreasonable conclusion.
There Is probably no foundation for the
accusation against the administration as to
Its Samoan policy: it is to be hoped there
Is none. But people who remember laval
must be excused if they once in a while
appear to be suspicious
