1t sometimes gets too cold
for the farmer to prosecute his
work outdoors, but it never gets
so that he cannot think out his
summer programme. Among far
mers as we'll as other classes, it is
the thinker that succeeds.
In the House Bowers, of
California, recently argued for the
present duty on raislns. In the
course of his remarks, he threw
some of the dried fruit to the Dem
ocrstic side. Aside from the sus-
picion of bribery, this looked q
little like "raisin" a distul bance.
An exchange says the larg-
est magnet in the world is on
Long Island, and is made of con-
denlned Dshlgren guns. 1t may
be true, but its attraction for our
Grover was as nothing compared
with that of magnet formerly
located at Honolulu, and compos-
ed of a very spurious article of
royalty.
The cold wave will proba-
bly, keep Mr.. Hatch from sending
his constituents tobacco seed as
early as he might have done if the
weather had kept fair. But Will
liam will not entirely neglect it.
William knows how to keep the
average granger chewing the cud
of reflection and white hurley.
"A fool said a thing-the
people frowned, or expressed
their ridicule, and some respecta-
BILE dogs sneaked by, ashamed to
be near the fool. Next day a man
we'll up in the world the self-same
thing expressed, and the papers
copied it far and wide as q most
delectsble jest. There is a most
useful moral here-let the critic
grasp it who can-for merit It's
right to dlssect the Jest, all IN
mindful of the man.
The Kansas City Star apol-
ogizes for Clevelan6's Hawaiian
attitude by saying the same has
been reviewed and commended
by the foreign press" The Star
could perhaps recollect without
great effort that the foreign press
reviewed and commended Mr.
Cleveland himself when run
ming for President. The truth
is, Grover may have a pretty
large shadow yet in Europe, but
he will step down and out as
much pigmy as Van Puren or
Buchanan. The hand has written
on the wall.
Next Monday the House
vote on the Wilson bill is to take
place. The Democrats have con-
cluded to keep the wage-workers
of the country in suspense no
longer, and are displaying un-
seemly haste in rushing the meas
ure, though when the Mckinley
bill WAS before the House they
worried heaven and earth with
their petitions for discussion and
time. 1t must tax the recording
angel pretty severely to register
all those little Democratic fops
and Inconsistencies. but no doubt
he manages it somehow.
The President is under no
obligation to consider the claims
of so-called Democratic politicians
In the appointment of a post
master for kirksville. In 1892
these politicians that are now try
ing to dictate the distribution of
the offices, gave up the Democrat
ic organization in Adair county
and turned the whole business
over to the Populists; since that
time there has not been the SEM
blance of Democratic organiza-
tion in the county. This sacrifice
of the Democratic party WAS made
in the interests of Mr.. Hatch who
wanted the assistance of the Pop
ullst vote to continue HIM in office.
Bat the wiping out of the Demo-
cratic party In Adair county WAS
not the only visible effect of the
