Down In

Senator Worst has not travelled much
from home the past winter, and has not
been in the city last October. He has
been busy with seeding for the past few
days,..and looks for a good average crop.
ut has been excessively wet down in
Emmons county this spring" said Sena-
tor Worst this morning, "and the soil
everywhere is extraordinarily moist.
Seeding, however, has been carried on in
all parts of the county. On my place
we have finished sowing wheat and rye
and have begun upon the oats. Down
in the southern part of the county, the
Russians are practically through seed
ing, and in the Williamsport neighbour
hood, the farmers are we'll along.
"The acreage Of wheat will be about
the same this year as in previous years,
and that of corn will be somewhat in
creased. In fact, some farmers are in
creasing their acreage of wheat, in con-
sideration Of the expected coming of the
500. There seems a general and pretty
we'll founded impression that the 500 is
coming this year. Reports to this effect
are received from all sections, and 1
would be not at all surprised to see the
road ironed-in fact I think it will be-"
Speaking of politics Senator Worst
said: II have been watching the signs
of the times pretty carefully, and I look
for an intensely hot campaign all over
the country next fall. There can be
no doubt that the democrats have lost
much ground, and the republicans have
rather gained the respect and good will
of many who we're formerly opposed to
them. In the examples of the states of
South Carolina, Oregon, Kansas and
Colorado, populism has received a set
back, from the way affairs have been
conducted. C~onservatively, it looks as
though republicans had decidedly the
best of it, and immense republican gains
everywhere would be not surprising"
Spring is full Of terrors to all whose
constitution is not able to resist the sud-
den changes of temperature and other
insalubrities of the season. To put the
system in condition to overcome these
evils, nothing is so effective as Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Take it now.
A Business Mans Idea.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: With your kind
permission, I ask space to express my
mind at this particular time, on the dan
gers that threaten the future peace and
prosperity Of this country (which has so
suddenly departed from u.s. which must
exist for a long while yet to come, unless
our congress Immediately pass measures
to avert it.
I will venture to make three prophesies
and give my reasons for believing that
one or the other must come to pass
through the present inactivity of those
responsible for Withholding the relief
which it is in their power to grant.
The first, and only public measure I
will touch upon, is the tariff under con-
%sideration, and which has been agitated
for several months, and which I deem
the principal cause Of the present great
throughout the entire coun-
try. It has some few good features and
many bad ones. It matters not so much
to it's provisions as to the necessity of
it's immediate disposition, which would
afford relief, and the many thousand in
dustries of the country now idle, would
again be able to resume their former ac-
and hundreds of thousands of
half starved and half clothed men, women
and children be provided with the COM
forts and necessaries Of life, and avert
the serious consequences that must
necessarily follow the continuous do
nothing policy Of the government.
Ny second propbesy is, in case the
fret should fail, that congress will be
compelled to provide means of employ
ment for the support of the vast hordes
of starving, suffering humanity.
My third prophesy is, in case the first
and second should fail to materialize,
that violence is sure to follow,
this vast army Of unemployed now adj
vanclng upon Washington, will soon be
quartered there. They are not a horde
Of tramps, as by some called, but mainly
army Of intelligent workmen or me-
chanics, made up principally from our
now idle industries, demanding that
congress shall pass measures that will
furnish employment again, through
our now idle mills and other paralyzed
which now depends entirely
upon immediate relief which is within
their power of congress to grant, were
it so disposed. If not done, the gov
eminent will have bread war on it's
hands very soon, which would not only
be a very expensive one, but at the same
time an everlasting disgrace, as yell as a
terrible calamity.
Ny prayer is that congress will do
something quickly, and avert the pres
