These setbacks have in a measure
been overcome and the movement has
been resumed with renewed vigor and

efforts will all be concentrated on rails

been secured, the directors will look for

OF land will get 1t, and there will, no
doubt, be a warm rivalry.
Several methods of securing the re-
quisite funds have been adopted, the
chief OF which Is the sale OF member
ship certificates. Each lodge in the
jurisdiction is expected to contribute
$50, which will entitle it to a handsome
certificate Of membership, and in ad-
dition, the members of the order can
receive life memberships at a reason

aiding in the good work is to give
entertainments, the proceeds of which
are turned over to the treasurer of the

boxes, into which the members drop
their small change. Individual lodges
have devised other means, and all the
money that will be required will be
forthcoming. The odd Fellows will
maintain the good name of the state.

homes for Odd Fellows widows and

notion, long since exploded, that men

government as we'll From his point of
view, he is correct and logical. That
these clerks are improvident, spending

the very best reason in the world why
the government should take them I'M

CHAT TIRED FEELING,

Representative Tawney is a worthy
exponent of the party with chat tired
feeling" Being tired is the essence of
paternalism. 1t is the languorous con-
d1t1on that comes from pelng prepped
and handled and fed and supported
and relieved of all need to hustle. 1t is
the idea that it is the duty of the gov
eminent to take care of it's people, to
see that they are we'll paid and shell
tered and fed and clothed, and not oniv
paid well for what work thew NAV
feel able to do, but to see that they
have such work to do as their refined
tastes will accept, and then, when the
tired feeling becomes too relaxing. to
see that they are retired on a COM
Portable pension.
And "our Jim" is as faithful to his
party's faith as a Musselman Is to his
devotjons When he is not too tired
himself, he puts all his energy into
finding out some way Of relieving the
tired feeling Of others. As a puissant
congressman he Is prolific in schemes.
Whether it Is the poultry yards of the
First district, or Its barley fields, or
the poor maker of woolens down East.
it is all the same to Jim. His sympa-
thies go out to them In an ever
gushing spring. and his constant
thought during his periods Of activity
is in what way can the government be
made useful and helpful and sustaining
to them. Now he has found a new
subject; the poor department clerks

racy the principles OF government
which we believe to be essential to the
future existence Of our republic. There
fore. we say again that the best thing
which the Populist can do is to unite
his forces with the Democracy, and
that he and they bend their efforts
toward what is unquestionably the
greatest need Of the hour = the
selection for Office, from the
highest to the lowest. Of men
of principle and conviction, in
stead Of the trimmers and traders and

death rate from this disease will be
reduced to per cent. When one re-
fleets that the average death rate be-
fore the arrival of this new remedy
was so per cent, the full significance of
the doctors claim can be grasped. The
report Of the New York board Of health
for the first nine months Of each year
from 1891 to 1895, inclusive, shows the
effectiveness Of the serum. The aver
age mortality from diphtheria in the
the nine months of last year, during
which the serum was used, the rate
was 1913 per cent. This would have
been less had the patients received
earlier treatment. The Chicago reports
show similar decrease in mortality.
But the most convincing and remark
able evidence comes from France, where

of Chippewa Indians who are here to

claim that they were promised this
amount by the provisions of the COM
mission contained in the Nelson act

making concession of their valuable
iands on the Mississippi. The Pembina
Dand claims that there are unpaid

timber possessions by theft; that they
were imposed upon in the letting of a
contract for the plying of a boat on
the lake, and in addition that there ia
cash payment still due them which
should have been paid them under an
agreement which they have had with

He said last week "that he is ready.
in support Of a principle, to sacrifice
his SON. as he has sacrificed a sire. in
defense Of another principle" Thus
we see how he encroaches upon the
position Of the great humorist. It is
not only his wife's relations that he is
willing to devote to principle, but he
will come forward leading by one hand

OF tender years, and deliver them over

WASHINGTON. Feb 3.-Congress-
man Tawney today reported to the
house a resolution providing for the
appointment of an expert to examine
and investigate discriminating and
partisan regulation imposed by for
eign countries upon American products
when imported to such countries. In
his report MIR. Tawney shows the ne
cessity of such a resolution, and says
1t is offered because there are nurner-
Gus bills dealing with this subject now
before the ways and means committee
upon which members desired to be in
formed. The report says: 1.-THE fact
that our agricultural products are dis
eliminated against Is common knoWl-
edge. In some instances such diScrim-
nations amount to absolute prohibit
ton. For example, flour imported into
Cuba is subjected to a duty of Sab a
barrel, and when imported into Mex
leo $10.33 per barrel. The export of our
domestic production in 1892 was 81 .030.-
1880, while the export of our domestic
products in 1895 amounted to $793, 1922
500, a loss of 1926 1855, ADJ In view Of
this fact it is important to know the
countries in which such discriminating

regulations are enforced, and causes
which have induced the countries to
impose the duties"
