The Habit of Satire.

To cultivate habit of always seeing
the awkward or ridiculous aspect of
things is uRwise. Cynical remarks can
be passed respecting all men and all
happenings. Life is nothing but dregs
and lees to one who educates himself out
OF the possibility of admiring, praising
OF wondering. It is mournful routine
with the man whose blood does not
sometimes boil with honest indignation.
If the habitual sneer is not occasionally
chased away by a square smile or broad
grin, then life is sad, indeed. If you
are settled down in rut of inispid bit
terness with no vision of good, the true
or the beutiful, it is time to travel. Go
to the worlds cataract at Niagara and
see if your eye will not brighten at that
stupendous master stroke of nature
there exhibited, Stand in the presence
of heroism and test whether your iaded
nerves will not thrill and tingle with ad-
miration. Visit the great gala occasions
of nations when all that is grand and
imposing in the resources of power,
wealth and splendor is displayed, and
try if you cannot observe and wonder,
The habitual satirist tears down, but
never builds up. He spins no meshes
of thought which bind facts into fabric
OF useful and helpful experience. His
words are disparagement, chill and dis
couragement. Effort pals, hopes die
and purposes Wane under the jaundiced
notice that he takes. Say good word.
Utter timely suggestion. Bestow
praise where it will bias to the right.
Cheer honest effort. Overlook the flaws.
and let the main aspect alone attract
your attention. Then the path Of your
influence will be marked by certain re-
suits, where, with the habit Of satire,
your path would be strewn with wrecks
and abandoned efforts begun in faith
and deserted in cynicism Milwaukee

More Good Words for Webber,


The following is from the Tracy Trum-
pet: The position taken by EditorDowl-
ing of the Renville Star Farmer in call
ing non-partisan convention for the
nomination of a candidate for District
Judge has raised question in the minds
of a good many people during the last
few days as to the s'why" of it. Despite
the statement of some of the papers of
the district to the contrary, it remains
fact that the endorsement of Judge Web
Der was not made by any particular poll
tical party, but by his friends regardless
of party principles. While good many
papers in the district, the Trumpet in.
cluded, published the call sent out by
Brother Dowllng it does not signify that
they were in sympathy WITH the move,
but only that as ''fraternal favor" the
call was given space. Itseems as though
the parties connected with the call of
The convention would put themselves on
record as being mole fair and just if
they would use the same means of put
ting the matter before the people as
Judge Webber's friends have, viz: by pc
tition. The move has the appearance of
beng an outgrowth of the Renville conn
ty seat fight and if it is it should have
the censure of all. In issuing the order
the removal of the county
seat records, Judge Webber performed
bis duty only and should have had the
endorsement Of all Renville county citi-
zens.

Reaplng his Reward.

Senator G. R. Davis, Of Nicollet coun-
ty was defeated for a denomination in
the republican convention of his county.
Mr.. Davis defeat was due to the fact that
he voted against Senator Cush Davis in !
the legislature two years ago, against
the instructions of the Republican con-
vention of his county. His action excl
ted a great deal of condemnation at the
time, and vigorous protests were made
by his constituents, but like many anoth-
er man who is elevated to power by the
people, he considered himself greater
than the power that elected him and u.s.
urpcd the authority that was not his.
His defeat was richly merited. Such be
the doom of all legislators who disre-
gard the expressed wishes of the voters,
whose servants they really are. "The
servant is not greater than the master"
In this country the people are the mas
ters.-Blue Earth City Post.
C. R. Davis announces himself in to-
days issue of The Tribune, an indepena-
ent candidate for State Senator. He did
his best in the republican caucuses of
the county to secule delegates enough
for nomination by the republican con-
vention, but having failed in every town
but one in the county, and in both wards
of the city, his own ward repudiating
him by vote of 81 to 20, he now, with
conceitedness beyond sensible compre-
hension, proposes to show to the repub-
licans of Nicollet county that he spurns
their verdict in convention and will seek
revenge by boiling the party. Political
principle with him is one of the lost arts,
and in mistaken consciousness of his
ability to rule or ruin, and an innate per-
sonal selfshness, he defies the party that
honored him, and which he basely be-
trayed, by parading himself as an inde-
pendent candidate for State Senator. In
his announcement, one would suppose
he was really enjoying humorous con-
dition of mind, or dangerously (O in
earnest. Hear him in the closing of his
announcement: "The people should die
tate the affairs of state in their own in
terest rather than submit to the corrupt
domination of few political bosses who
are controlled by corporations" Such
a text, coming from Mr.. Davis, whose
acts as a public servant are so we'll
known to our whole people, will no
doubt create broad grin on many fa-
ces. The people want public servant
not controlled by corporations, and I
am tie man, insinuates Mr.. Davis. Ha!
ha! That's good.-St. Peter Tribune.

the Representative need indorsing, built
up and supported by Populist money
for over year, the acknowledged mouth
piece of the party in Minnesota To
ask it was to acknowledge crooked work
and | dared, even in the presence of this
"eminert" man, to ask, az condition of
Endorsement, that his sheet, that he
claimed he was not responsible for in one
breath and in another said should be en-
dorsed or all other papers should be dis
turbed by the fussy stab of his impotent
knife, shall apologize for the fusion
article, because if we indorse without
qualification we must, of course, indorse
his Recommendation to fuse, and also in
dorse the sublimely ridiculous spectacle
of one end of the edition applying tar to
a gentleman and the other end applying
whitewash with all the grace of an artist.
Mr.. Donnelly might, in the light of his
wildly imaginative mind, be able to con-
ceal the possibility of sane person in
dorsins double-headed paper that can
abuse with one mouth and praise with
the other. In fact it is in keeping with
his past treacherous political history, but
I know of no person on the state central
committee favorable to such an Internal
duplicity.
The ''eminent" Donnelly threatened
me with the fate of Doc Fish. That Is
impossible. I have never been the trust
ed lieutenant of Donnelly and therefore
have not the suspicion of treachery or
the smell of billingsgate on my garment.
Then, in conclusion, let me say: "Oh.
thou mighty Pickwick of Minnesota! {!
Thou, who, like the creation of the i'm.
mortal Dickens, hast delved into all
branches of imaginary knowledge; thou
who, delving into the vast ocean of thy
fancy, aided by thread of legend, hast
given to the world lost continent, and
then, with the matchless versatility OF
the stubby writer on Sticklebacks, hast
caused Tyndall and Huxley to hang their
heads in shame at the thought that they
had wildly attributed to glacial action
what thou hast, in thy profound wisdom
found to be wrapped up in comets tail; ;
then, with profound wisdom and literary
sagacity that would makethe ghost ofBen
johnson turn green with envy, thou hast
proved by the rights of ar;stocracy and
power of hereditary descent that Bacan
wrote Shakespeare, and the humble
glover and farmers boy stole the knights
deer end held horses. and was therefore
Of inferior mind and not an author. Oh!
thou who hast added fiction to fancy,
and from thy "eminence" possess all the
shadows of knowledge, turn all the
search-llghts Of thy power and greatness
on my humble position, and when am
utterly annlhilated by thy blig ghting pow
er of billingsgate whisper to the winds,
that they may carry the news to my
shade how long thy greatness and emin-
eRce will survive thy death and treachery.

Weather Sunday.
Not a Drop OF Rain Failing in This
Country.

Hottest previous July 10 was In 1876. when the
temperature was 81 On the same date last year

THAT little storm I told you about
rev days ago managed to elude me. and
before I got well started on its trail
1t had jumped of into the Atlantic Ocean
and got mixed up with the trade Winds"
remarked Weather Forecaster Dunn this
morning.

YORK. but never got close enough to 1t
to find Its footprints on the beach"
II Is clear and warm all over the United
states to-day. Not drop Of rain was
falling In any part of the country ut 5
o'clock this morning which is decidedly
unusual condition OF affairs.
For the first time this year Key West
Fla. is not the warmest place on the
map Boston was just as hot with a
temperature of "a. Beans would bake
on the doormats in the New England
town.
1t is warmer in New York and along
the borders OF the lower lakes than in
any of the Southern States. Mr.. Dunn
suggests. however. that one days re-
versal OF the usual order of things
should not induce people to desert the
Northern pleasure resorts for the
Ocklawaha River or the Everglades OF
Florida In search of cool weather.
The temperature IS slightly higher in
the Ohio Valley, the Lake regions. the
Middle Atlantic and New England
States. The only cooler spots are in the
upper Missouri and Mississippi valleys.
In Minnesota and the Dakotas. where it
never gets what New York people would
call really hot.
The wind here is moving along in n
leisurely sort Of way at the rate OF ten
miles an hour. blowing from the west
and southwest. The humidity was low
at So per cent. which is all that makes
the high temperature bearabfe.
At O'Clock this morning the tempera-
ture at Albany. Oswego and Erie, Pa.
was SO; Boston. 81: Chicago. II: ST.
Louis. IS; st. Paul. 62; Denver 60; San
Francisco. So: jacksonville, Fla, 80. The
coolest point was a town in Montana
where the mercury could not struggle
above A.
Mr.. Dunn ventured the opinion that
the thermometer would reach 80 before
the day was over.
His prediction was more than verified.
for at l30 o'clock the thermometer
reached 80.
The forecast is for fair weather to-
day and part of tomorrow followed by
thunder storms tomorrow evening. It
will be considerably cooler to- morrow
night and Sunday.
