THE republicans of New York State
held a convention on Tuesday which
was not only harmonious, but enthusi-
astically so, and the papers of the west
are characterizing it as PLAT and
Unity, ""Platt's Crowd on Top" ETC.,
and if it be true characterization, then
Tom Platt is the best maligned man
in that great state. AS matter of fact,
the convention shook the leadership of
Mir. Platt III the midst of it's delibera-
tons, and introduced Sunday observ-
ance law plank in the platform, which
was anything but palatable to the great
New York boss. Since the reform move
ment in New York City gained ascend
ancy under Mayor Strong the police de-
partment.has been completely reorgan-
led with Theodore Roosevelt practi-
cally,at its head. He found upon the
statute books a law which provided
that saloons should be closed on Sunday
IA law which. Tammany had enforced
against those only whom it could not
bleed and blackmail. Mr.. Roosevelt en-
forced it, and New York City is a dry"
Sunday town. Ofcourse, there was a
protest coupled with threats against the
republican party, and Tom Platt's fol-
lowing did not want the state conyen-
tion to commit itself, as it would alien
ate large German contingent from the
party if the convention should endorse
the Sunday enforcement. But Their e
were men in that convention, headed by
Warner Miller. who believed that a
feerless declaration of principle was the
best policy. In his speech advocating
the resolution, which was carried by
large MAJORITY, Mr.. Miller said:
81 was told to-day that if I had n OF
advocated high license few years ago
/ would have been elected governor of
the state. / thank God that l was de-
feated if the price of that election was
a diversion from the principles that are
most dear to my heart. But / was
elected governor. / was elected but
counted out by the frauds of Tammany
Hail."
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times to find political conventions COM
hitting the party to plain and out
spoken principles embodying distinc-
lively moral policy.

II you are, no matter how well you

the very essence of his nature, is never
satisfed-always wants more or some
thing different. The theologians draw
from this characteristic an argument for
Immortality. May be so-but we are
not now talking theology. The harvest
is over for the farmer, the summer sales
ended for the business man. Ifyou have

make an investment elsewhere. To do
so, take a journey to whatever part Of

The HERALD's attention has been
called to the action of Wadena relative
to Sunday closing, and the suggestion
is made that what is good for Wadena
would would be equally good for Sank
Centre. There is abundant reason why
the several vocations of the people
should be suspended on the Lords day.
This is what the Wadena Tribune says
of the way the matter was handled in
that place;
very important matter came before
the Wadena council in the form of a pc
tition signed by thirty-one citizens and
and business firms, asking the council to
pass an ordinance prohibiting the keep
ing open stores and the transaction of
business on Sunday. The matter was
brought to the attention of the council
by several we'll known divines in the
city who have labored necessarily to
bring about this reform during the past
year. For some reason the Sunday
closing movement could not be brought
about until short time ago, when the
business men became interested in the
matter and all agreed to sign petition
praying the village council to pass an
ordinance to prohibit the keeping open
Of stores on Sunday and make it mis-
demeanor. In compliance with the Pc
tition the village attorney was instruct
ed to draw up an ordinace. which was
passed by the council, and the Sunday
closing law will go into effect thirty
days after it's publication.

Smutted wheat.

Some time since there was complaint
at Duluth that new wheat received from
North Dakota was seriously affected
with smut, and the elevators there de-
clined to receive large amount OF
wheat offered. They very justly took
the ground that smut, even though not
very bundant, would ruin the market
able value OF all the grain with which it
was mixed. Later, panicky feeling which
existed relative to smut subsidized as in
vestipation revealed that the evil was
not SO prevalent as at trst feared. But
the crop there is not free from it. Sey-
eral CARROTS have been refused. at St.
Cloud. The Journal-Press Says: "Jas.
F. Low, the Inspector for st. Cloud, last
night had in his possession sample of
wheat containing smut. The berry is of
dark, dead hue and upon being opened
emits decidedly nauseating stencil. If
but few grams of this smut are ground
into the -four, it is case of "a little
leaven leaventh the whole loaf" and for
this reason it is excluded by the inspcc-
ton department"

and were finally stranded on the sum

When we come to study the lore of
the primitive tribes of northern Eu-
rope, the Scandinavians and the Celts,
we find curious and highly oolored YER
sions Of the flood legend which are still
not unlike the myths Of the more cult

enough, that we discover the most
abundant crop of traditions. Refer

TETND w NTED,

Tt has been discovered by those who
are wise in such matters that the De-
fender needs great deal Of wind in
order to do her best. This being so it
is allowable to wish for wind and
to whistle for it. Some fervent and pa
triotic souls may even think that it is
proper to pray for wind. But such souls
will do well to be little careful. They
should bear in mind the experience OF
Brother Moody, who prayed for rain in
Fort Worth, Texas, and got 1t and its
accompaniment to such an extent that
his tabernacle suffered severely, and
some of those who happened to be in It
| likewise suffered. 1t would be sadden-
| ing if prayer for wind on this occasion
should result in a gale that would blow
the Defenders sails into smithereens
and break her mast.
| What is wanted is just wind enough
and the right kind Of wind to blow the
| Defender to victory. The English boat
has been built and rugged to take full
advantage of the light breezes that ara
almost sure to prevail at this season Of
the year in the place where the race is
to come Off And she has exhibited re-
markable and alarming power of get
ting along in a light wind. If she hits
! it right in the racing no fault can b.
found, but there will be sorrow. Per
| haps, though, 1t will be discovered tina
| the Defenders builders and ringers
have thought Of as many things as thu
Englishmen have. Let us hope so.

THE Wild MAN.


The wild man Of Winsted is becoming
interesting. Imaginative takers and
writer's have surrounded him with all
sorts Of mystery, and unless he is soon
caught he will grow to be very i'm
pressive. Many explanations of him
have been attempted, but most of them
are too fantastic for the consideration
Of the sober-minded. When he is caught
it will probably be found that he is not
the weird and inexplicable being that
he now appears to be. Perhaps he is
a simple native Of Hartford or New
Haven, who has found himself unable
to stand the strain of the discussion
concerning street pavements which has
been going on in both those cities and
has therefore taken to the woods. Or

who has been reading the laws en-

One of the most powerful and vivid

THE SCHOOL TICKET.

The school ticket composed of Messrs.
Stoddard, Farnsworth and Asher meets
all the requirements of the situation
and it's election is about as certain as
anything can be. 1t will therefore be
well for those who may be thinking of
constructing a ticket for a special pur-
pose to consider whether it will be wise
to do so. The excellent ticket that has
been put forth has been. made up with
due regard to the custom that has long
and satisfactorily prevailed in the con-
struction of school tickets. No fault
can fairly be found with it. What,
then, is to be gained by fruitless at
tempts to elect one or more members
in such a way as to upset the estab-
lished and approved order of things?
Is it not better for all to tremendously
join in voting for one Of the best school
tickets that has been made in recent
wears?
