A FoRCIBLE LESSON.

"A sFORCIBLE LESSON. s
The carrying out of the policy Of the
Cleveland administration has 5fufn-
ished an impressive object lesson to
the people OF this country. When
theories are put to practical test, the
value to be attached to. them is put
beyond the possibility of doubt. The
free trade theory proclaimed in the
Democratic National platform, has
been thoroughly tested for the first
time during the life time of the present
generation, through its incorporation
in the policy of Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration. The result is before the
people, and continues to be powerful
influence in moulding all the economic
conditions by which they are affected.
When, before the election Of 1892.
the Democrat newspapers and stump
ers were exalting the glories Of free
trade and exhausting the vocabulary

SATURDAY witnessed the assassina-
ton of the Shah of Persia by com
munist who had but recently returned
from exile. He was captured and has
already implicated a dozen or more of
his associates in the plot. The extent
OF the conspiracy has not yet been
learned but the death Of the grand
vizier is known to have been part of
the program. The Persians might
turn him over to the Turkish govern
ment for punishment. It might amuse
them for a time and spare Armenia a
few citizens.

ANoKA Herald: We don't hear so
much kicking on Congressman Towne
as we did. His record in congress will
compare very favorably with that of
even the oldest members, and he has
established for himself a reputation
which is national. Let those small
bore politicians who were Jealous of
him and hoped to see him fall down in
congress, use what little energy they

A NEBRASKA DECISION.

The legality of note or contract
payable in gold coin, has been called
in question in a Nebraska District
Court, in suit to collect $4,000 on a
mortgage note in which default had
taken i7ll place in the payment of interest.
The - e court ruled that inserting the
words Esto pay in gold coin'' or the
words "to pay in gold coin or it's
equivalent in such note, are in
violation of the legal tender law and
contrary to public policy. The court
said it would not enforce that part of
the note contracting to pay in gold
and that if it came to question as to
the legality Of the note, the court
would hold that a note made payable
IN gold coin is illegal and void. -Mo,,-

THERE are many farmers from the
southern part of the State who are
passing Mile Laos county on their
way to Red Lake who would be inf
nitely better off if they took lands
here. True the land is little more
expensive to start with, but the differ
ence in freight rates, nearness to mar
ket and the certainty Of rapid in
crease in the value of the property will
make it up in a very short time. Dis
lance is said to lend enchantment and
this may account for the rush for free
land which the Red Lake reservation
is just now enjoying.

call the convention will have POI dele

POLITICS AND POSTAGE.

Recently a debate occurred in the
senate on the practice of printing
speeches in the Congressional Record
which are never made. Senator Hill
vigorously opposed the practice and
was undoubtedly right. One-half or
perhaps a greater percentage of the
speeches printed are written wholly
for political purposes. The publica-
tion in the Congressional Record does
away with the printers bill and each
congressman has frank so that thew
may be distributed post free. Why
the government should assume such a
part in the mad scramble for Office is
not plain. The evil is great enough if
only the speeches actually delivered
were allowed place in the Record but
the wholesale publication of speeches
which the authors are, too tired to de-
liver and which would put the listen
ers to sleep if they were delivered is
truly reprehensible. But the publica-
tion of the work of members is not all.
Under congressional franks secured bv
publication in the official paper of the
government: speeches of mon, who
have never been elected to sit within
the halls of congress, have been dis
trlbuted broadcast. This privilege
was obtained by some admirer, who
enjoyed the honor of being member,
who by courtesy of his colleagues was
allowed to read the production during
debate,
The postofice department. has been
unable to make both ends meet for a
number of years and the reduction of
letter postage has been opposed by
many for this reason. The ranking
privilege allowed certain departments
of the government is in a large meas
ure responsible for this condition.
Tons upon tons of partisan campaign
literature are circulated each year
without the payment of single cent
to support the postofice. The agri-
cultural department. ships tons Of seeds
under the same conditions. Railroads
do.noJ Carry franked matter free and
the result is the government is ,annu-
ally expending thousands of dollars for
mail carrying where there are no pos
tai receipts. These privileges are
abused and by the very men who should
be the last to overstep the bounds If
the lawmakers, themselves, dodge laws
on technicalities how can they expect
the plebians to respect the productions
of their legislative minds?
Senator Hill is right in opposing the
circulation of never-made speeches and
when he has corrected that abuse he
should turn his attention to the seed
distributing congressman.

voter to attend the primary in his be-

friendly to his candidacy to help it
along, or if he asks his friends to ar
