Secretary of State.
G.. II. DAEI

Miss Cleora Eugenla Cook, II
Years of age, is said to have
been q mighty force in defeat
ing German of Maryland. From
what we can learn we Judge
that she and her father are Pop
ulists, but she probably joined
hands with the Republicans as
the most practical method of
downing Gorman, whom she
bitterly denounces as the enemy
Of the farmer, the poor and
even of docency. She is ex-
ceedingly eloquent, it is said.
During the campaign she chal-
]engenged Senator German to
meet her in pnblic debate, and
in the challenge used these
words:
1.-The most serious crime of
which you are guilty, however,
and the one that has prompted
me, a girl only II years old. to
give up my home and studies to
travel from town to town pub
llcly denouncing an enemy of
my race by opposing you, is the
fact that you have for a decade
malignantltly wronged the chill
dren of Maryland. You have
robbed thousands of poor chill
dren Of education by defeating
the free school bill. You have
by scheming manipulation di-
verified funds which should have
been spent in increasing the eff
fency of our public schools, to
channels in which they could
be eaten up as saleries for those
who do your dirty work, and for
ten years you have defeated ev-
cry measure brought forward
to abolish child labor, thus pla-
cling yourself on record as the
prop and bullwark of the cruel
est form of slavery and child
torture that ever cursed the
world. By perpetuating child
labor you have not only been
the means of blasting the lives
of thousands of mothers der
lings, but you have helped the
monopolists to use the little
ones as a club to knock down
the wages of their fathers and
mothers, thereby making your
self the etereal foe of labor and
of humanity"
There is mo installing the
meaning"66iff;:. Language like that,
and this young girl has set an
excellent example to every
man and woman in this coun-
why belives that there is
need of reform. To reform ex-
isting evils. we must sacrifice
something and have the cour-
age of our convictions. Farm

rr;:,,l,y., 4 STORMY WINTER.

I1sAsABl>AS II S4lJkSN , WIN 1LNs
G. E. Hopkins, writing from Esteline,
South Dakota, to the Minneapolis Jour
nal, under date of November 20, gives
some interesting statistics about winter
weather. and reininds us to prepare for a
stormy winter. He says:
"In this age of hurry and worry, when
nearly every one is compelled to "hustls
for dear life to maintain a miserable ex-
~istence, would it not be we'll to stop a
moment and review the past and see it
we can find where we are at! Don't
take me for a calamity bowler and threw
this in the waste basket without looking
it over. My text this morning is not 1G
to 1. but l to 8; not silver bntSthe wea-
Their. And my opinion is lot based on
statistics, but from 40 wears residence in
Minnesota and South Dakota. The win
ter of 1856 will be remembered by the
old settlers Of Minnesota rs tho winter OF
deep snow and crust, when the deer we're
killed with dogs, clubs and pitchfOrks.-
Nearly everything in the line of food was
hauled from Iowa by team. Flour was ~
per 100 and pork one shilling per pound
at Chatfeld. Eight years from that m
1854. WAS known as the cold New Years.
the coolest day America ever saw, and
the whole country buried under three teet
OF Eight years more, 1872, brings
us to the winter of the three days biz
card with the Thermometer 40 below zero,
when so man. frozs to death. The whole
country was buried in snow, until not a
fence could be seen any place. Another
eight years brings US to 1880. when we
had the celebrated October three days
blizzard. Talk about snow! why this
country (South Dakota) was level from
one end to the other. The next spring
the Sioux river was miles upon miles in
width and the water in Lake Poinset
raised IL feet. Brookings had no train
from Feb. 2 until the 9th of May. Eight
years more, or 1883 brings US to the 18th
of January blizzard, when more people
and more stock froZet to death than during
II other winter within the history OF the
State. And in some parts of Minnesota
even the telegraph wire was buried in
snow. Eight years moro brings us to
1886. What's the matter with 1886:
Does any one remember a colder Oct ober
than the last, or a better start for winter
thau we have ut this time of the year?
Judge the future 10y the past and govern
yourselves accordingly.

The North Dakota Siftings has turned
weather prophet, and says: The goose
bono is nearly white this year, and the
result will be that snow will lie ION the
ground from early December until late in
April. A long. cold winter, filled with
clustering storms, is ahead. There are
other signs that confirm this. Corn husks
are unusually thick and though and
chipmunks are already fat enough to kill.
Coal is also advancing and cord wood IS
unusually scarce.
