She Beat Her Husband.

Incident to its very first participation
in a presidential election, the state of
Utah presents us with an interesting
study IN end-of-the-century politics. Two
opposing candidates for the state senate
were Matte Hughes Cannon and Angus
VI. Cannon. They were the nominees of
rival parties for the Office it's honors and
emuluments, and engaged for a time in
a public joint discussion. They very like
ly also engaged frequently in private joint
discussions of their differences, for it falls
out that they are man and wife. Angus
Is republican, while Matte Hughes is
a silverite from the word go; and she is
not averse to saying the word herself.
As may be imagined, the now famous
campaign of the Taylor brothers of Ten
nessee for the governorship of that state.
upon opposing tickets, was as nothing as
compared with the campaign that Mr..
and Mrs. Cannon waged against each
other. They were good enough friends
socially, of course, but when it came to a.
matter of politics they were always ready
and eager to hurI red hot shot into each
NeHNA' w 3udi lSI was given OF asked
on either side. 1t was to be a fight to a
finish, with Matte Hughes forcing the
fighting.
The upshot of the campaign was
the proving of the woman the better man.
When the ballots were counted it was
found that Matte Hughes had landed
with both feet, while her more or less
esteemed husband was out OF sight under
the ballots cast for his wife. She will,
therefore sit in the honorable senate of
the state of Utah and help to make laws
for the government of Angus, while he
must remain at home and mind the ba-
bies.
What the effect of the advent of woman
into the Utah senate will be, remains to
be seen. We have already had examples
of the depressing influence of masculine
odd women" in the United States Senate.
But the presence of a medium youns.
good looking and bright woman in one of
the higher legislative bodies is an IN
known quantity. 1t would seem, how
ever, that woman would show to a better
advantage in the popular branch of the
legislature. The Senate is supposed to be
a deliberative body, given to deep thought
and few words

Two young men whose clothes were of
such style as to make it seem probable
that they would at any minute fall into
picturesque attitudes and execute song

AItgeId aad TiIInnan.

Gov. Altgeld has interviewed himself and
| Gov. Tillman has been interviewed about
the outcome Of the election The very
| general feeling is that they are responsible
for the free riot" provision in the Chi
! cago platform, a provision that contribu-
ted largely to the defeat Of the democratic
party.
But neither of them thinks democra tic
defeat was due TO anything he did. Each
hates Mr.. Cleveland with an uumeasura-
bic intensity, and each Of them in his in
terview says that Mr. Cleveland is largely
responsible for the defeat which the dem
ocrats suffered. Gov. Tnlman speaks OF
the odium that attaches to the democratic
party from Cleve.andism, and, as a Chi
cago paper puts it, Gov. Alleged emptied a
bucketful of Stops on the President
The democratic party would have made
a better showing If Gov. Altgeld and Gov.
Tillman had not been known in the cam
paign. They speak of what the demo-
cratic party will do four years hence. It
is TO be hoped there wiz be no place of re
sponsibNlty in the democratic party for

They have demonstrated so clearly their
lack Of political wisdom that there W Il
be no demand for their services four years
hence.
What Gov. Altgeld and Gov Tillman
say against the President will do him no
harm. He may have had both of tho m
in his mind when, in his Thanksgiving
proclamation, he told the people never
to be unmindful of the gratitude they owe
the God of nations for His watchful care
which has shielded them from dire disas-
ter"
No, Messrs. Tillman and Altgeld need
not concern themselves about the pro-
gramme for four years hence. As far as
the democratic party is concerned they
will have no part in shaping that pro-
gramme.

San Imnginary Mongoose. :"

Americans are very inquisitive and ask
a good many questions of strangers with
whom they happen to travel, says Tit
Bits. An Englishman was getting rather
tired of being questioned as to who he
was, where he was going, what was mis-
business, etc, and he thought he woulG
make an attempt to shut one man up.
This inquisitive person asked him his

him what he had in his bag.

married badly" said the tall woman
"M-well, / don't know" returned the
short one. 'Emmeline says she's salts

But he's never made him a living She
has to keep boarders and work herself

about him? Is he so good looking?"
We'll, no. All his own mother even said
about that-he's an only son-was that

Emme-ine always sticks to it that he's re-

isn't worthless enough to play the fiddle

say that he is remarkable"
Nor do I; but she sticks to it, and the

ties in Georgia brought better prices at

Rates on Fruits and vegetables.

Shippers and receivers of fruits and veg
etables are making efforts to secure a re-
duction of freight rates between the or
chards and plantations of the south and
the markets of the north and west They
desire also to have established uniform and
stable rates, in order that they may know
precisely what they are to expect when
they order a carload of produce from one
point to another. Nothing is more an
noying. and really dragging upon the
fruit and vegetable producing business
than the uncertainty with regard to rates
that has existed heretofore. Besides be-
ing uncertain, the rates have discrimi-
mated against certain sections. 1t is de-
sired now that a schedule of uniform
rates to the different markets shall be
established. The board of general traffic
managers, with whom the fruit and veg
etable people have to deal, have consented
to receive information bearing upon the
situation, with a view to equalizing and
establishing rates.
Secretary Phillips of the New York COM
mittee, representing the fruit and vegeta-
BILE producers and commission merchants,
gives notice that facts and figures should
be at once placed before the transporta-
ton authorities. In a short time the
making up of tariff schedules will begin,
and when the schedules have been made
up and the crops begin to move, it will
be very hard matter, if not an impossi-
bility. to secure changes before the explra-
ton of another year.
The board of general traffic managers is
made up of able men, who will desire to
have presented to them only important
facts and real arguments. They will not
entertain insignificant complaints Or state
ments unsupported by facts. Volumes Of
testimony are not wanted, but clear-cut
statements of conditions complained OF,
together with the suggested remedies,
backed up with figures and other data. 1t
is believed that the outcome of the effort
for securing the rates wanted will de-
pend in great measure upon the sup
port given the movement by the growers,
and their organizations. The matter is
important, and should have immediate
attention. Georgia and Florida fruit and
vegetable growers should take heed and
govern themselves accordingly.

Before great while this country is go
