When she's drawn upon a Jury,
Or is drafted for the wars,
Will she like her freedom better

Won't she wish that she was back in

When the ship Of state she's steering
Mid a storm of mad abuse
Won't she wish that for the ballot
She'd ne'er thought she had a user
When she finds that she Is treated
"Like a man." oh, though she's longed
For just that, won't she be tempted
Oftentimes to think she's wrongedp
Whom no man e'er gives his seat mp
In car, or deigns to hold
Her umbrella when it's raining,
Won't she wish that she was "oldq'
Won't she think the men "just horrid." {"

about l2,5O0,000. Further study. of the
statistics shows that the increase Of
tenancy in the, United States is only
the evidence of a beneficent movement,
which is raising the population from
industrial dependency to independence;
especially is this true OF the former
slaves, who have vastly increased the
number of tenants and have yet, at The
same time, greatly benefited them
selves. In conclusion, Mr.. Powers
writes: ''Tenancy in Minnesota, and
for our nation as whole, is not then a
sign of degradation; but it is part Of
an upward social revolution that is
touching the lot of the former slave Of
the south, the old farm laborers Of the
north, and the poor immigrants from
Europe, with the wand of hope and
blessing, and changing it into the like
ness of something better and grander
and more desirable. Where in the
long history of man is there a social
revolution more fraught with present
good and promise of future blessing?"
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1895-08-29

THE St. Paul Dispatch gets right
down to facts when it says: Zone
trouble with the opponents to what is
known as political 'bossism' is the at
titude they generally assume toward
parties. They generally place them-
selves upon lofty pedestals, so far from
the masses that they are never in touch
with them, instead of going down
among them and fighting the devil, as
they call him, with fire. 1t is an alb
solute condition of success in American
politics that leaders who desire to lead
the people must get near the people
and stay with them to the end. This
sitting back in luxurious Union League
club rooms, or in elegantly equipped
political club rooms and merely giving
orders cuts no figure in leadership with
the people. 1t is men like Quay, Cor
man, Brice and Platt, who get near the
people, who take the cake, whether
their influence be good or bad. If men
favoring a good cause care to dethrone
'bossism' they must off with their kid
gloves, and do as the devil does. Until
the policy is changed in that respect
| 'bossism' will be on top, and will only
| be scOtched-nOt killed.

TT is. now in order for Cleveland tic
make a contract with some individual
to carry on the postal business, etc,
He has let the banking out on shares,
and if this is a good policy, why
wouldn't it be we'll to farm out other
departments? There is, however,
some satisfaction in knowing that
Cleveland's lease will soon expire and
the government will be again in safe
hands.

FARM TENANCY.

The increase of farm tenancy first
began to attract attention as an Geo.
nomic condition in 1870. When it was
first noticed a majority deplored the
condition as threatening and grow
ing evil. So important did the dis
cussiOn become that the censuses of
1880 and 1890 made a careful investi-
cation and the number of farms oper-
ated by owners and tenants was given
Commissioner Powers has been MAX
ing careful study of the condition
and has written a thoughtful article
on the subject, reviewing the constant
attacks of economical writer's upon
this tendency as one full of evil portent
to the nation, taking the novel position
that their gloomy forebodings and
prophecies are not well founded. '"The
growth of farm tenancy" he says, "by
itself proves nothing. 1t indicates a
national disaster, provided those ten
ants are recruited in vast number from
the ranks of men forced to lower po-
sition in life by financial misfortune.
If so recruited, the growth of a vast
body of farm tenants presages evil,
and it is sign of impending national
ruin. If, however, this growth of farm
tenancy is wholly or even largely re-
cruited from below, from men whose
fathers were common wage earners, or
slaves who never owned a horse or
farm wagon, then the question takes
on an altogether different aspect. The
growth of tenancy is, under such cir
cumstances, an upward social move
ment. 1t is a part of social revolution
that is comparable only with that
which once changed the black man
from chattel into a freeman and a
citizen of great nation" Proceeding
to the discussion of the question as to
whether or not the growth of of ton
ancy in the United States is a debas-
ing or an improving tendency, Mr..
Powers argues that if it were the
former there would be decrease in
the number of farmers and great in
crease in the number of farm laborers,
On the other hand, if it is an upward
movement, there would be a decrease
in the number of farm laborers. An
examination of the figures show that
the farms operated by owners in.
creased 2S5, 422, while those operated
by tenants increased only 270,312, and
the number of men and women on
farms working for wages decreased
219, 761, although the farms of the ma.
tion increased 555, 1874 and the popula
tion of the United States increased

The Anoka Herald got righteously
indignant last week because a certain
State official wrote to an Anoka poll
tician to see the local papers and plug
'em against Congressman Towne. If
the aforesaid official cares anything
for his political future he will not
again undertake to dictate what the
country press of the State shall say.
Editors are independent and have
good memories.

NO REGRETS FOR FUSION.

There is one thing to be thankful for
in this State, and that is that all polit-
ical parties are so hopelessly divided
that fusion will not show it's head, at
least not in the next campaign.-O1ton-
rille He1Gld-StUr.
Well, it is good thing. Fusion is
generally the result of a shameless
bargain in which the people are not
consulted and the spoilsmen are the
