WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 80, 1895.

w ASdlNGVON. Aug. 5U, 1880.
II Secretary Olney has adopted the
jingoistic tone he is credited with in
his dealings with foreign powers he
has taken the administration from one
extreme to another, so far as its for
eign policy is concerned. 1t will be
remembered that friends of Mr., Olney
said at the time that he made it con-
dition of becoming secretary of state
that he should be allowed to inaugu-
rate vigorous foreign policy. This
he is said by his friends to have done
from the day he took charge. There
is no official proof of this now accessi-
BILE to the public, but as soon as con-
gress meets it will be an easy matterto
get resolutions adopted calling for all
the correspondence in the cases which
Secretary Olney may wish to get be-
fore the public. His friends say that
this correspondence will show that he
has been using spread eagle language
right and left, not only to the little re-
publics on this continent and to Spain.
but to mighty Great Britain and to
France. If all this be true it shows
that Secretary Olney has correctly
sized up the people of this country,
who would sooner back up cockev
administration that was wrong than
an over-timid one that was right. II
is too late now to eradicate from the
mind OF the general public the associ-
alton of timidity with the foreign poll
cy of this administration, owing to GER
tan occurrences during the time the
late Secretary Gresham presided over
the state department, but if it can be
done Secretary Olney is on the right
tack to do it.

will require to be done, will not be

was the point at issue. The
parties thereto were opposing
candidates for treasurer of Moody

Pai lAeS tHelSlo were opposing
candidates for treasurer of Moody
county. The canvassing board
returned 739 votes for the plain
tiff and 742 votes for the defend
ant. The contention of the plain
tiff was that the canvassirg
board counted votes for the de-
fendant which were not legal
votes. The ballots were marked in
various ways and the court passes
on the different methods of mark
ing employed by the individual
voters, and also passes on the
general method of marking bal
lots. The court holds that when
ballot is marked in the circle at
the head of the ticket and cross
is made before the name of any
individual candidate on any other
ticket, unless the name of the cor
responding candidate on the tick
ct marked in the circle is scratch
ed off, the straight ticket must be
counted. Where any other kind
of mark is used in the circle at
the head of the ticket, than the
cross provided for by law, the
whole ticket should be thrown
out; or if a cross is made at the
head of ticket, near circle, but
not within it, the ticket cannot
be counted; or, if after marking
the circle at the head of the ticket,
a name is crossed off and a cross
made at the right, instead of the
left of the corresponding name on
any other ticket neither name
must be counted, or, if after the
cross has peen placed in the circle
at the head of any ticket and the
name of any candidate crossed of
of the ticket so marked and cor
responding name on any other
ticket is marked on the left with
any other mark than cross,
neither name should be counted.
A decision upon these points is
important and will settle many
vexations controversies. es.----Yank-

THEIR HARVEST TIME Is HERE.

Dell Rapids Tribune: A gang
of snide peddlers are said to be
working through the cou n r y
around Pipstone and F'landreau.
Should they come to this vicinity
it is to be hoped the people will
give them a wide berth. Such
men cannot sell the same quality
of goods any cheaper than the
local merchants. If they offer
better prices it is because their
goods are inferior. Those who
patronize such fakirs are sure to
be beaten in one way or another.
1t is much better for the people to
patronize the local merchants who
are reliable and responsible and
stand ready to make good any
thing that does not prove to be as
represented. Besides, the local
merchants help to pay local taxes,
build up the town, promote local
enterprises and have been gener-
Gus in the matter of extending
credit during the hard times.
They are deserving of rybody's
trade. Now that good times are
returning the people should not
forget those who deserve their
trade. It is not fair to get credit
from local merchants and then
pay cash to fakirs for cheap, in
ferior goods, and it isn't good
business for the community. A
t>landreau correspondent says Of
the fakirs: But with all these
tine crops and the bright pros
poets of the farmers and the busi-
ness men, it is an affliction to see
the county sucked in" by fakirs,
sharpers and snides. A gang is
now canvassing this section, sell
ing everything from cambric
needle up to threshing machines,
beating the merchants out of
their profits and at the same
time not giving the farmer even
as good goods and bargains as he
can get at home for less money.
1t is an imposition upon the COM
munity that these swindlers are
allowed to travel from county to
county and beat the people as
they are doing. In Pipestone
county large number of their
orders were countermanded by the
farmers when they found they
were imposed upon. These i'm
posters deserve to be run out of
the community"

OF the commission it will require not
less than $ll5, 100000 to complete the

when the matter comes up in congress

the immense vote of Pennsylvania to

A BEARS NOSE.
One Point of the Animal That Is Very
Sensitive.

Sensitive.
A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one Of the physical
peculiarities of the bear. Gen. Hamil-
ton, who tells the, story in his "Sport
in Southern India" was out on a bear
shooting expedition with a brother
officer. The beaters drove the bear
from his hiding place, and a shot from
the officer threw him on the ground;
but he got up with a grunt and made
off.
AS the bear passed an open bit of
ground Gen. Hamilton again fired, but
missed, and the beast turned upon him.
When he was within a few yards the
general gave him the other barrel. AS
this did not stop him Hamilton started
to run, but tripped over a rock and fell
fat on his face.
The bear was upon him instantly,
and the sportsman, looking over his
shoulder, saw into the bears mouth as
the brute made a grab at him. The
animal caught him by the thigh and
pinned him. Knowing that a bears.
nos is very sensitive, Hamilton hit
him several hard blows on the nose.
The bear, unable to endure the pain,
let go, and, before he could get hold
again, Hamilton was up the hill.
His companion ran up and killed the
bear by a ball through his heart. But
the BEARS ella VS. had laid open Hamil-
toms thigh to the bone, and he was in
bed for a month.

ne went on a mince-pie spree, and had
7devoured sixty dollars worth OF this
pastry before he was arrested.
According to his story his extraordi-
nary liking for mince pie began to
snow itself when he was a boy. He
seemed even then to feel that there
was something abnormal in his appe-
Ute, Tor ne went voluntarily to Bloom
lngdale asylum in the hope of being
cured OF his gluttony. After he came
OUT ne believed he was cured and be-
gan to study for the ministry. But
IN a fatal hour, about two years later.
the mania for pie came upon him
with irresistible power. He broke
INTO the housekeeper's closet in the
AuDur Theological seminary, where
ne was a student, and gorged himself
with mince pie. His relapse so proved
upon him that he went to the faculty.
and they advised him, he says to drop
his studies, as it would be det-
rlmental to the ministerial call
ing for him to enter it with
such a fatal appetite for snincc pie. He
would be likely to suffer- seizure of his
mania at a supper in the church parlors
or at the table OF one of his flock, and
create an unforgetable scandal. He
took the advice of the faculty and
went to peddling clothes-wringers and
bed springs, but his malady vi now
SO deep seated that he s~ubordinated
everything to his craving. He devel-
oped an unusual cunning for stealing
mlnce pie, or in getting the money
with which to purchase it. 81 would
be tempted, said he, land fall; go to a
restaurant and eat a pie and a half or
two pies. | became as helpless a vic
tim to the mince pie habit as the drunk
ard is to the drink habit. Sometimes |
have pawned my overcoat OF my watch
when l have seen an uncommonlv
luscious pie in a window and have not
had enough ready money to buy it."
Then came the forging of the note
and the pie orgy which ended in his ar
rest. After hearing his story a com
mission was appointed to inquire into
his sanity, and it is likely that, in
stead OF being sent to a pe%nitentiary,
he will be placed in a %lunatic asylum.
