attend the late populist convention as a
delegate, but informed them they had
h4ade a mistake-I was still a republican
no pop in mine. I have voted too
long IN the ranks Of the party, under
whose administration the country has
been most prosperous, to desert it now,
to aid ever democracy in it's scheme of
bankruptcy. All I can see the pop party
is doing is in aiding the solid south to
wreck the industries OF the north"

Foundations Knocked Asunder.

The Casseltonian says: Hon. S. G.
Comstock knocked out the populist
underpinning on a good many points, in
his Fargo speech. The proof of this is
seen in the many changes that have
since occurred, and the different tone
apparent in influential quarters. The
shallowness Of the pop notions. have
only to be exposed to cure people of that
sort of greatness.

The Rally.

.ZNE Me-
Hon. M. N. johnson, present member
of congress, and candidate for reelection,
addressed a large and enthusiastic au-
dience at the Atheneum last Friday.
The gentleman was in fine form, and de-
lighted his hearers with a thorough log.
ical discussion of the issues of the day.
It was purely a speech Of education,
dealing in figures md facts, and drawing
conclusions from existing affairs, the
force of which it was impossible to es-
cape. For instance, in speaking of the
sheep industry in North Dakota, the
speaker said that four years ago he
found at Minot, Col. John. D. Benton,
then democratic candidate for congress,
telling the people of Ward county that
democratic supremacy would not hurt,
but would help the sheep and wool in
dustry. At that time, sheep were sell
ing at 81 a head, and large numbers were
being bought Of Mears & Co. of Fargo,
to be paid for in four equal installments,
payable annually. Three payments had
been made. A few days ago, he found
the same doughty colonel at Minot-as
the receiver of Mears & Co., foreclosing
on the farmers sheep, for the fourth
payment, and selling them out at 81 and
$l.5O a head. With maps and charts,
the speaker explained the advantages of
republican principles, showing the fall
lacy Of populism and humbuggery of
democracy on the money question. All
who heard the honorable gentleman,
went away we'll satisfied that he was the
right man in the right place, and that
they would be doing a service to the
country by electing the entire republican
ticket this fall.

She's All Right.

Harvey Advertiser: Miss Emma F..
Bates, republican nominee for state
superintendent of public instruction,
claims not to be a politician, still she is
billed to stump the state and SO far has
made more speeches than any other can-
didate on the ticket. We are inclined
to think that as a politician Miss Bates
has few equals, and if political speeches
count for anything she don't propose to
get left.

CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL.

How the Christmas Game was Played
There and Why Stanford Lost.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 26.-Capt. Down
ing, Of the Stanford team, accounted for
the defeat of his players in the game
with the Chicago University in this way:
My men have been taking things too
easy since the big intercollegiate game
and showed up in much poorer condition
than | expected.
II expected much better game than
they put up. They seemed to have for
gotten much that a month ago was easy
to them. The Chicago men found out
during the first half that we could not
hold the ground and they hurried US. We
were unfortunate too, in having TO
change our line several times, owing to
the injury to some of our best men and
then luck seemed to be against US all
through. With my men IN fairly good
shape l am confident l could beat the
visitors out"
II A. Stage, the athletic mentor of the
Chicago team. had this to say about the
game: Il felt confident from the first
that the Chicago team would win the
battle despite the fact that the Stan
fords largely outweighed their competi-
tors Yet knew that Walter Camp had
coached the StanfOrds and as result
their team would prove no despicable
competitor.
This was proved in the first half, which
was srubbornly contested, and in which
defense in the first half was superb.
Their tackling was low and hard and the
whole team to a man took part in it. In
fact the defense ives 50 strong il had
noticeable effect on the Chicago offen-
sive play in that the players did not 90
in with as much dash as IN the second
half If anything. the StanfOrds bad the
more dash IN the first half than the Chi
Cages.
"My opinion was that Stanford was
weaker in offensive play in the first half
than IN their defensive play. This was
due in part l think to the use Of poor tao
tics, or weakness, and to the excellent de-
Tense OF Chicago
Too much cannot be said in praise of
Stanford's superb tackling in the first
half. and had they done as we'll IN the
second half the score would have been
closer. 1t GEMS TO me Stanford could
never have scored many points because
Of her weak offensive play. The second
half showed plainly what can be done by
scoring team when there is
weakness of the defense. Chicago sim
ply raE away with Stanford in the second
half, because there was not unanimity
and reckIessness in the Stamford defense
which marked the first half
After the first touchdown was made
by Chicago, there was a noticeable let
up in the work of some Of StanfOrd's
players, showing they had lost courage.
1 do not say that Stanford did not play
an uphill game, for her defense in the
second half was at times as good as any
in the first half, but It lacked unanim-
ity

a STOLEN STONE
That Has Caused a Very Disagreeable


That Has Caused a Very DisagreeAble
Scandal
A very disagreeable scandal has
come to light in London and Paris
gravely affecting the reputation of
the French General Baron de Frey.
Appointed by the French government
to undertake tour of inspection of
the troops in the colonies he touched
during the course of his trip at the
Seychelles islands, now an English
colony, where he was most hospita bly,
entertained by the English governor
Not only was he put up at the govern
ment house. but the English naval
squadron in port even fred a salute
in his honor
On the day following his departure
it was found that the principal
archaeological treasure of the colony,
a stone known as the Pierre de Pos
session, had disappeared from its
place in the gardens of the governors
palace. 1t is a curious monument,
consisting Of a square block of gran
tie, with a turtle, some feur de
lys, a royal crown aud the word
''Seychelles'' carved upon it. It was
regarded with particular veneratlO
and interest by the creole popula ton,
reminding them of he enterprise of
their fathers, who had colOnized the
island more than two centuries ago.
Investigation has brought to light
the fact that the French general,
anxious to secure the stone, had in
duced the French owner of the estate
adjoining the government house park
to steal the stone at night and convey
it on board the mail steamer on which
the general was leaving.
1t is only fair to add that the mo-
ment the French government was
made aware of this strange return on
the part of the general for the hos
pitalitv which he had received it took
immediate steps for the restoration Of
the stone, which will be conveyed. to
the island on board a French cruiser,
while it is probable that the general

GRASS WIDOW"
The Title. Now Despised, Was Onco a
Mark of Special Favor

The Title. Now Despised. Was Onco a
Mark of Special Favor
The phrase grass widow" or rather
grace widow" for the first has no
foundation in fact. and is simply a
barbarisrn, or fungus, which has at
tached itself to the English language.
Grace widow is a term for one who
becomes a widow by grace or favor,
not of necessity. as by death, and
originated in the earlier ages Of
European civilization. when divorces
were granted but seldom. and wholly
by authority of the Catholic churc b.
When such decree was granted to a
woman the papal rescript stated
'sViduca de gratia, which inter
preted is widow Of grace" In the
law of the French it would read
s.Veuve de grace, " which in England
gives widow Of grace" or grace
widow" ''veuve1 being translated as
widow" In a novel and exceed
ingly interesting paper, Judge Turpie
also makes again public two import
ant historical facts: That the whole
system of law in relation to marriage
and divorce originate in the Roman
church, and that French was the
official language and court vernacular,
not only in England. but of Western
Europe. during this period Of &c
clesiastical ascendancy.
