less at n Banquet to Sheridan.

Very many Of the settlers of Mon

of the war. They came by the Mis-
souri, River to Fort Benton or by coach
from Omaha, and for many years were
in the majority at elections. when they
held the flag Of democracy to the mast
head. The result Of this immigration
was strong sentiment for the confcd-
eracy in the early days, and in 1873,
when General Phil Sheridan and staff
made an official visit to the northwest
crn posts. the sentiment had not diSap

A delegation met Sheridan and his par

noon a banquet was given in the First
National Bank, located then in the pres

sisted mostly Of canned goods, jack rab-
bit meat and fresh game, because the
town was remote from civilization.
There was, however, plenty Of cham

Tobacco..Rishts of Non-Users.

Liberty is a much-abused word II
Ii the cloak under which license and
awlessness stalk about up on the earth.
lis not this free country? Cannot one
do as he please?" is the query o a man
as he treads upon the toes of many of
his fellows "enjoying life" as ne calls 1t.
What then is liberty? Surely such
freedom of action as harms no other
Individual
The tobacco habit is a national and
often enjoyed at the expense of wife,
children and other dependents. Ii is
dirty habit, as ninety nine out of
hundred users Will concede. Ask,
argue, advise that it be conquered for
such reasons, and what reply will be
received? Either a laugh, or that the
user is old enough to judge for himself
and knows what he is doing; that he
enjoys it and it is nobodv's business.
Anger often supplies an answer that
reason cannot give.
Non users, while insisting upon their
rights, should grant to the smoker or
chewer the right to expend as much
money as he wishes if it be not at the
cost of creditors or dependents; the
privilege of making himself filthy if he
desires if be does not intrude his foul
ness upon others; also the liberty to
paint the inner man with a coat of
tine. But this liberty must be SO ex-
crciscd not to interfere with the
rights and freedom of any other indi-
vidual.
Does any one doubt that smoking in
public lnterferes with the freedom of
others? The streets, stores, public
buildings and convcyances are for the
use of the entire population, no one
portion Of which has better right than
another. Onehal of the adult popua-
ton are women who are non-users; a
portion of the male population are non
users. To the great mass of these the
odor OF tobacco Is an assault upon their
sense of smell, a sickening, loathsome
nuisance; to many it is injurious
Knock the cigar from a smokers mouth
and he is assaulted and NAV call law to
avenge the insult. A Whit of tobacco
from the mouth of that same smoker in
the face of a non-user is a more griey-
Gus assault but passes without redress.
Strengthening houses and phosphate
warehouses are removed as nuisances
by the mandate of law far from crowded
habitations; but relieved from such
odors they must yet endure the NUS
anCe OF all grades of cigars, obnoxious
pipes and vile cigarettes, to say nothing
of befouled streets.
Let users be taught the lesson of re-
speCt Tor the rights of fellow members
of society. 1t may be 4 slow education
but it is surely possible of accomplish
ment, for most men wish to be Just.
As the user is learning the lesson of the
rights Of others he will possibly con-
tinue to smoke but it would be in pri-
vate. on his own premises and possibly
he would relegate the cigar to the yard.
II the user ever reaches this point
there is hope for him. The present
concern should be to educate as to the
freedom of the individual to inhale air

Their Disgrace of Jefferson.

Mr.. Cleveland and his nondescript
cabinet talk mich Of the love and good
faith we owe TO England. and how no
financial measures slIUGld be adopted IN
the United States which might put US in
bad light with the dear old mother
country" This subservient depend
ence is an outgrOwth Of the many weak
nesses OF the latter-dav Democracy. 1t
is in painful contrast with the strong
utterances of Thomas jefferson, the
founder of Democracy, to whom Mr..
Cleveland and his incompetent follow
ers so frequently and misunderstand-
/ ingly point as the embodiment OF Dem
ocratic principles.
Mr.. Jefferson attitude in regard to
the presence of foreign influence in
American legislation was unmistakable
Nothing" he said, lis so important as
that America shall separate herself
from the systems of Europe and estab-
lish one ofher own. Our circumstances,
our pursuits, our interests are distinct;
the principles of our policy should be

Mr.. Jefferson has been, for gener-
ations, called the father of Democracy,
but this term should be understood as
strictly, in this connection, to govern
ment by the people. He was in no
sense the father of the Democratic
party. His principles were absolutely
and irreconciIably opposed to the policy
and the principles of the Free-Trade,
unAmerican, dishonest organization
which claims descent from him. He
stood for Protection to American labor
and industry, for the Protection of
American interests everywhere, and
for independence of our policy of Gov
eminent of cur interests, not those of
Europe, might dictate. The Dem
ocratic party stands for none of these

Bru!e Election.

The election in the town of Brute was
very spirited one. That town has
been all torn up, so to speak, over eiec-
ton matters for the past two or three
wears. The seat Of government for that
town. when it was organized, was IN
Maple, where, consequently, q very
neat and comfortable town hall was
built at public expense. Later the peo-
PIE Of the eastern part Of the town got
control Of public matters and at once
proceeded to move the seat OF govern
mcnt from Maple TO the village of Brnle
in the eastern portion Of the town.
For the past two years the right and
wrong Of this move has been warmly
discussed, and the people in the west
ern part of the town have been very
indignant at the imposition put upon
them and they resolved to assert their
rights and right the wrongs which had
been practiced, at the election this
spring.
To this end a good ticket, headed
man Of the Board, was PIT III norHina-
ton. To get 10 the polls at BruIe sta
ton to vote, ii was necessasv to charter
n special train on the \. +. road, but
this was done and at an expense OF one
hundred seveutv-tve dollars, a large
sum for a few poor farmers to pay in
these hard times, IN order to maintain
their political rights.
But the train WAS secured and all
marched to the polls and with the ST.
lent little ballots corrected a wrong
hich the Courts seemed poweriess to
correct. The seat Of government was
voted back to Maple a centrally locat-
ed point, and those who mad perpetrat-
ed the wrong were laid away on con-
venient shelves, and things in the town
Of Brule are as they should be until the
people agree to divide the town. They
have territory enough for two towns.
The ticket elected is az follows;
For Chairman Board of Supervisors
Thomas Doherty.
For Supervisors -Aleck Beck and
Albert Holmes.
For Clerk j \. Crockett.
For Treasurer William Folis.
For Assessor J. Lochren.
For Justiccs-Nictor Malon, Joseph

LOVERS REUNITED AT LAST.
Wedding of Michigan Couple After
Euch had Welded Another.

4 wedding ceremony that united two
hearts after separation of forty-fiVe
years was performed at Pontiac, Mich,
Il few evenings ago. The groom was
Pickering Nicholson. 65 years of age,
who lives in Detroit, and the bride was
Mrs. Sarah J. Murray, Il widow OF
Pontiac, G3 years of age. Forty-nYe
years ago, saws the Detroit Tribune,
Mr. Nicholson was a boy learning his
trade of building He went with his
employer to Oakland county 10 build
Il house. While there he fell in love
with a pretty country girl. She returned
his affection and the two became en-
gagged. But both were young and had
no serious thoughts of getting married,
so after two years or 50 they lifted
apart Mr. Nicholson married an es-
Unable lady in Detroit some years later
sud became the father of eight children.
The country laSsc married and had
become Mrs. Murray and removed to
Pontiac with her husband, who was 4
blacksmith. The two met occasionally
and in the heart Of each was laid away
the remembrance of the love making
during the Springtime OF their lives
down on the farm. About seven years
since Mr. Murray died. His wife was
childlcSs and lived by herself in Pom
tiac. About two years since Mrs Mich
olson died.
The remembrance Of the love of his
youth was never entirely banished from
Mr.. NicholSon'S mind and about eight
months ago he made a trip to Pontiac
and met Mrs. Murray. They lived over
again the old time and dreamed again
the dreams of their youth. Mr.. NiChol-
son. with all the ardor Of his youthful
Woolng. suggested that they We're both
of an age that would preclude all I'M
favorable comment in case they should
be married and suggested that the cere-
mony that was not performed forty
five years ago might take place now.
Mrs. Murray agreed with him as she
had done before. 50 the wedding took
place. Mr.. NichUlSUn'S daughters are
all grown up AM so are the sons. Mr.

Japan's Success,

In no Country of Asia has Christian
ity made snch rapid and permanent
advance as in Japan. 1t is the only
Oriental country having a government
of its own in which there is an absolute
freedom in religious belief and practice,
and in which there is no state religion
and state support. 1t also has com
pulsory system of education which is
fatal to Shintosim, the prevailing relig-
ion, and there are 1,22O, 40 children of
school age, of whom 3, l53, Sl3 are in the
elementary schools, not to mention
those in the middle, higher and normal
institutions.
1t has been for years the prophetic
declaration Of missionaries in the East
that the first nation to extend full lib
erty OF conscience in re ision would be
the dominant power Of Asia That
ia pan has fulfilled this condition Is not
more remarkable than are her rapid
strides TO political power since that
country opened its doors to Christian
itv. Nor is that fact more wonderful
than the basic fact that the nations that
rule the world are, and long have been,
the Christian nations
That Japan Is sincere in its treatment
OF an alien religion is attested by the
fact that native Christian chaplains ac-
Companied her armies in their march
against China, and these are represent
~ 10
tional and Presbyterian churches IN
Japan. There is no doubt that the
whole Christian element in Japan, for
elgn and native, have been loyal to the
country and in thorough sympathy
with the aggressive movement made by
Japan. The sympathy between Korea
and Japan has been greatly strength
! ened by the active support rendered TO
Presbyterian missionaries in Korea by
the whole Christian body in Japan.
i The work OF Mr.. Johnson, Presbyter
ian missionary in Korea made him an
adviser of the king, and this assisted in
leading the latter rather toward Japan
/ than toward China.
The corner stone OF Japan's position
today is religious federation. All that
the Christian missionaries AK in Ae,a
is equal privileges with other religious
and these they have had III Japan.
History Is only repeating itself, and the
results of religious liberation in Europe
! and Great Britain centuries ago are be-
ing duplicated in Asia in 1895. Chris
tianity is too important a factor in ma
tionai progress and prosperity to be lost
sight of or neglected. CT ica.o Record.
