This is hard old world, after all.
There are not SO many really happy
persons in it as there is cracked up to
! be. Everyone has his troubles. Yes,
the whole kit and capoodle. The
poor cuss worries over where he'll
get the next meal. The rich devil
over the fear that his wealth may
take wings and fly. Justfor fun, I've
asked scores Of people if they were
actually happy, and every last one Of
'em hemmed and stammered before
answering. When they did, the
answer was, they would be if it
wasn't for this or that, To be sure,
there are some who make light of

w. Fl. Dawson, Slayton Herald
The recent rains have made farm
ers and everybody feel hopeful.
It is claimed by those who have
lived here for a numbers Of years
that the character Of the soil is
such that it will stand long con-
tinued dry weather and still yield
good results, and last year is cited
as an instance. just now the out
look could not be betterit is all
that could be desired and there are
those who claim that good small
grain crop will be harvested
whether there is any more rain
or not, that is, SO far as moisture
is concerned. The indications at
present, however, are not such
as to give farmers any uneasi-
ness as to moisture.

H. G. Day, Albert Lea Standard
The officials of the state editorial as
ISOLATION have arranged for summer
excursion to Yellowstone park at ar
expense of $75 to each participant
This is pretty steep compared with
the trip from St. Paul to Duluth and
the excursion in the palace steamship
North West to Buffalo and Niagara
Falls last year, which cost less. than
$2;, and will result in the exclusion
of many of the most choice and gen
ial spirits connected with the country

John M. Thurston says that he
thinks that there will be two demo-.
cratic tickets in the field in 1896. Mr..
Cleveland will, he thinks, be nomina-
ted by the gold wing of democracy,
while the other element will put for
ward some well-known advocate OF
silver recommendation, while the
republican party will stand united on
a platform pledging as great use, OF
silver as can be INDUCED in without
disturbing the parity between the
two metals. In other words, the dem
ocratic party will go out of power as
radically divided as they were in the
campaign of 1860. It certainly looks
as though Senator Thurston had am
pie reason to make the prediction.

We are Pleased to see that some of tho

has insisted al along that, while the
