Last sunday-Feb. 2-the grounding
came to the door Of his winter quarters
and cautiously peeped out. He wa
doubtful, but getting outside he eau
tfously looked about and over
his shoulder when he saw his
shadow, Then he: cautiously .crept
back again and folding the drapery
of his couch about him lay down to pleas
ant dreams. He, knew there was more
winter in store and he could continue
his sleep. The rest of us will find it
out before April. Observing this we WILL
not be fooled on that day.

Justin Mccarthy has addressed a letter
to the secretaries Of the Irish party, in
which he states that his reasons for CIV
ing up the leadership are wholly per-
sonal, due to his falling health, and to
the necessity for greater attention. to his
profession, upon which he has to depend
for a living. It is perhaps as we'll. A
younger mare7-one with more vtgor and

that Paine's celery compound furnises

Painc's celery compound not only re-

LIT IT BIC RAMSEY.
Some Reasons Advanced Why Editor
Ramsey Should be pritchard's
Successor.

Mr. j j.. Ramsey, the editor Of the
Progressive Farmer, has announced
himself a candidate for United States
Senator to succeed the Rt Hon Jeter
Constant Pritchard, q former printers

him hard. We have never heard Of any
body else who is for him, but that cuts
no figure with US. We have a soft feel
ing for anyone who has ever been tinker.
ing around a print shop, and il Jeter,
who once carried water and pied type
for country weekly, must step down,
we would like to see him succeeded by
some other fellow who has at least smelt
ink, even though he did nothing more
than write the wholly foolish editorials
of the esteemed Farmer
But Ramsey has other points in his
favor, which just at this time are
Weighty. He belongs to the opposition.
He was born on the opposite side It
doesn't make a bit Of difference what
it is, Ramsey is agin it. He is inharmo-
NOUS. He swims only up stream. When
he was born, the signs wer all in the heel.
and Ramsey can't help kicking On his
natal day the heavenly bodies were not
singing together, their music was that
of monstrous discord. The star of Ram
sey's nativity is the lost pleiad, which
shoots about alone, having nothing to
do with the other six. Even so does
Ramsey stand in isolated but ftful gran
deur from his companions. Cynical old
Alec Pope said whatever is, is right" /,
Ramsey says whatever is, is dead
wrong" To him the earth is fat, the sun
moves, and black is white Ramsey wants
free silver, but he won't have it unless it
comes by his route. He is for the Far
mers' Alliance, but he didn't get for it
until everybody else had got down on
it. He wears his left shoe on his right
foot, and would walk on his head if he
could. He sleeps in the day and works
at night, and drinks food and eats water.
Ramsey gloats over hard times because
other folks like good ones. He is not
even SO god a calamity bowler as before,
the crowd Of like faith and order is get
ting too big for him. Ramsey is a big
success, he never agreed with anybody in
his life.
Let it be Ramsey. The Senate needs
a good all round opposition. Ramsey is
the man. lie would rip Senatorial dig
nifty up the back and run Senatorial cour-
tesy down at the heel.-Monroe Journal,
