this era Of free trade to buy every
thing in their line anywhere but in
the United States. The sidewalks
along the drygoods sections are
blocked with those strong, heavy
boxes bearing the inscription, "Made
in England" Made in France" etc,
This looks to the casual observer like
good times and prosperity, but when
we consider that each one of these
boxes and bales throws a dampening
shower on our furnace fires and that
the prosperity is over the water and
not here, the whole business assumes
another aspect. -. =

1t would require, says the St. Louis
Star, a magazine to show what the
democratic misrule of the last two
years has cost the country, and sta
tistics on the subject must be highly
condensed. In nine leading indus
tries employment and wages were as
below:
1892 1898 1894
Hands employed 15s.o65 125.os9 1852
Wages paid s5,s7s.o7o $s,62o,sas s4.2ol.2lo
Figuring as between the census
returns of 1890 and the work of last
year, the results for 1894 read.
Hands idle l,413,55o
Wages lost tl,Uz7,z1O, 499
Product not made 4,122.847. 356
Material not used 2,2os,O42.l45
The bank clearings in 1892 aggre-
gated $61, 535, 493,426. In 1892 they
had fallen away to $53,516,883,125,
and last year had dwindled to $44,
995, Gil, 293, the lowest figure since
1885. The best business of the
country has been that of the sheriff,
failures having been as follows:

Amount slos, ,249 $4o2, 427 1913 s149.595, 4s4
The falling off in prices of all pro
ducts, decrease of railroad building
and other proofs of national mis-
management have been previously
treated of in these columns. It may,
however, be added that besides loss

Senator Miller.

SENATOR Nl1ueTs
The St. Paul Globe of last Sunday
has the following mention of our able,
powerful and aggressive senator:
The only senator in the group CIV
en- this morning is HI. J. Miller, of
Rock county. He edits a most excel
lent newspaper at Luverne, and the
only fault that can be found with it
is that it is vindictively republican.
But the mans nature is peculiarly
intense and indomitable. Naturally
these characteristics lend severe
coloring to his writings. Miller is
the kind of man who makes ene-
mics, even in his own party, by hew-
ing uncompromisingly to any line Of
policy he decides upon. Yet it is
equally true that he makes strong
friends, all the stronger, perhaps,
the better they come to know him.
Having worked his own way along
the trip from boyhood, from teacher
to editor; he is self-reliant and re-
sourceful. No one can afford to de-
spise him when in opposition; neither
does any one care to ignore him in
friendly camp.
AS country editor, Senator Miller
naturally feels keenly the prevailing
rates charged by express companies.
As he says, they do not become low
er as railroad rates and wages go
down; they do not decrease as the
purchasing power Of, the dollar in
creases, as prices fall in every line of
business. Hence, when he came into
the legislature it was with the distinct
idea in mind that he would endeavor
to secure the passage of law to reg
,ulate express companies and their
charges. This he proceeded to do
by introducing a bill to make them
common carriers, subject to the pow
ers of the board of railroad commits
sioners. Twice was the bill stolen
or "lost," but the senator from Rock
was camping on that trail to stay,
and he succeeded in finally passing
his bill through the senate. It will
most likely pass the house, and then
the state officers must apply the, rem
edy. The bill is considered a good
and jus4 one, and its author can. take
pride in it. =
q Senator Miller is a Badger by birth
and worker by nature. He is not a
taIker, but he knows thing or two,
and not all of his knowledge has
been picked up on wheel. That he
cannot be bought for or against leg
.islation is the belief of those who
have watched his career closely dur
ing the winter.

During the campaign of 1892 the
democratic newspapers were contin
ually harping that the Walter a
Wood Harvester Company was max
ing an enormous profit upon it's pro-
ducts; that the company was selling
it's manufactured articles cheaper in
European countries than in the
United States. Since the enactment
of the democratic ''tariff reform"
laws the company has gone to the
wall and thousands of men have
been thrown out of employment.

There are two pcculiarities about cha M
payne drinking which capable of ex-
PLANTATION. The one is the rapidity with
which the wine exhilarates, notwithstand-
Ing the small proportion of alcohol it con-
fatns. This is due to the carbonc acid gas
evolved. which is inhaled while drinking.
for II is the property of this gas to ex-
pcdite the action of anything with which it
Is associated.
1t is estimated that one glass OF cham
payne IS equal In effect to two glasses of
stiH wine of the same strength and is
more rapid in action. The other peculi-
arity lis the sort of lethargy or deafness
drinking. This l. analogous to the stupor
produced by carbonic acid gas, but 1T is
assisted and intensified by the excess of
sugar deranging the stomach The und-
gested sugar turns into acid. and thus il
is that too much champagne is apt to pro-
duce dyspepsia Herein we find both the
blessing and the bane of this popular

Pittsburg Observation-Disclosures.
Sonic comment has been caused i'm legal
circles BY the fact that the will OF the late
j. Hood Wright. disposing of an estate of
over $50o0.000. is typewriter. The will oc-
cupies more than ten pages of typewriter
matter. and is loosely hound together by a
silk cord.
II appears that the highest form of legal
practice I'm the matter of Wills is that these
documents, matter how long, should all
be written by hand. This Is not merely the
survival OF an old form still adhered 10 in
spite OF the greater legibility or typewriting
The opinion of lawyers who practice in the
surrogases Court and have. to do with the
disposition of great estates is that the writ
ing OF will affords added protection
against fraud.
1t Is said that while It would be a COM
paraffvely easy matter TO initiate typewrit-
Ing and Introduce bogus sheet somewhere
In tho body of the document f ii ran over
several pages. yet that this could not so
easily be done. when all the matter was
written by hand. In the latter case not only
would the handwriting OF tho genuine doeu-
mant have to be initiated, which imitation
would itself be forgery and and crime, bat
the ink and paper would also have to be
initiated. There are only q few varieties of
typewriter paper anG the inks used on type
writer's do not number more than a dozen.

A Lead, S. D., correspondent thus il
illustrates the cosmopolitan character Of
that rustling western city:
The other evening during the supper
hour an interesting group occupied
places at q table in one Of the restaur-
ants. At one end Of the table sat a gen.
uine Oregon Indian; mex to him sat a
negro; next to the negro sat ar Irish
man, while next to him sat q Dutchman.
Across the table, opposite the Indian,
vas a Frenchman, and OIL the same side
sat a Swede, a Slavonian and an Ameri
can: while at the extreme end Of the

took the orders for tie meal while a
Chinaman took and punched meal tick

A Clever Way to Get q Dinner.

I happened to be one of a party of six
dining the other night at an up town
restaurant. Most of us were strangers to
each other, having met only in the aft
ernoon in the course of business. There
were a banker, a politician, a lawyer, a
theatrical manager and a something else,
I do not yet know what, in the company.
The something else made himself ex.
ceedingly agreeable. He was, in fact,
the life Of the party. He vas politeness
itself, and his wit and epigrams were
fetching. After dinner he rather sud
denly and mysteriously dropped out Of
sight and was missed.
"Who was the gentleman" I asked
Of the theatrical manager.
"I'm sure I don't know" he replied.
II thought he was a friend of yours"
"No, I neve saw him before. l sup
posed he was a friend Of yours" I said.
Then ! put the same question to each of
the others and found that the man was
unknown to any Of the party. He had
simply invited himself to dine with us,
behaved like a jolly good fellow and
disappeared at the right moment. The
only thing we have against him is that
he forgot to pay his bilL-New York

A THEORY.

Why do the violins shudder SO
When across them Is drawn the bow,
Sob for anguish m wild despairf
Human souls are imprisoned there.
Souls are shut in the ~violins,
They are the souls of Philistines,
But the Philistines, row on row,
Soulless sit and they do not know.
But they brandish their eyeglasses,
Stare at each others evening dress,
Scrutinizo form or brilliant hue,
Say, SIS it rouge or Is 1t trueP'
"Some one was flat Il semitone,
And how stout the sopranos grownl
Isn't the bass a dearf And, oh,
Do look at Mrs. So-and-so!"
Still the musicians play serene,
As though Philistines had not been,
But their souls in the victims
Mourn on bitterly for their sins.
Call them wildly and call in pain,
Call them with longing deep and vain,
And with infinite tenderness,
Since they can give them no redress.
Since not one OF them Is aware
Here is he and his soul Is there,
In the music's divinest chord,
Making melody to the Lord.
So how often in life and art
Soul and body must dwell apart
Great Is the masters soul, no doubt
Twenty Philistines 60 without.
Are we body or are we soulf
Little matter upon the whole.
Human soul in the violin,
Save me at last, a Philistine!

SPOONING PARTIES.

How These Commensurate Aids to Matri-
mony Should BE Conducted.
~"Spooning'' parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their name
from a good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fan
tastic actions Of a young man or a young
woman who is in love. For some reason,
which 10 one eve could explain, every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact.
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
Of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in all the romantic story
books. The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "~spoony."
When a "~spooning'' party is given,
the committee in charge OF the event re-
ceives a spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with a
spoon. These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity Of
costume o. by a distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care Of each
other during the continuance Of the So
cial gathering.
OF course the distribution of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fulness, the aim being to SO place them
As to properly fit the case Of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people Of some neighborhood where the
personal preference of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end Of fun. 1t is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as we'll,
and are therefore c~ommendable, since
an avowal is made more easy to q diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not a secret, but that his weak
ness for a ''spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and enemies ON the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons. 1t may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
| couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award of
mated spoons in their case. This consul
tation is known by the name Of ''spoon-
ing. st. Louis Republic.
