1t must be almighty hard work

1t must be almighty hard work to
edit populist paper, at least one of the
sort which is expected to find no good
in anything and shut it's eyes and senses
to all the good things which are COM
ing to the people Of this state. AS a
usual thing the columns of those papers
pour forth a mournful, doeful tale of
woe and in spite of their seeming hard
times good many of them are doing
more business and making more i'm
ptovements than they have in the past
five years. It's time they emerged
into the broad sunshine OF good nature
and let the air of depression roll from
their shoulders. They are carrying a
burden which does not belong to them.

Down in Kansas the populists are
receding from their very positive
position on silver SO stoutly maintained
a year ago, and in referring to the lead
ers of populism and the papers in that
state the Kansas City Journal makes
the following comment.
There is more than coincidence in
the fact that large number of the pop
ulists declare that the tree and unlimited
coinage of silver will not be the
dominant issue at the election OF 1900.
There seems to have been an under
standing among them that the time is
ripe for the presentation of new issues
A number of the leading populist
papers Of the state have admitted as
much, and, while the populist county
conventions so far held have declared
their continued allegiance to free coin
age, the resolutions adopted have been
weak and insipid and very much in
contrast to the enthusiastic platforms
OF year ago, in which the silver
question was given the prominent

There is one thing Gov. Lee

There is one thing Gov. Lee pro-
poses to do and that is to care for his
populist friends. This is particularly
noticeable in the case of Stacy
Cochrane, editor of the Brookings
Individual, who served as engineer of
irrigation until the time expired for
the adjustment of the office, as was
done by the legislature. Still this
doesn't remove the chances of Mr.
Cochrane drawing salary from the
state nor does it prevent Gov. Lee from
rewarding good satellite. While
the legislature abolished the bureau OF
of irrigation it also provided an appro
priation of $500 for the expenses of one
of the instructors of Brookings college
to atterd to the duties formerly devolv-
ing upon the commissioner of irriga-
tion. Mr.. Cochrane finished out the
term of engineer of irrigation and was
then appointed by the governor to
draw the S400 as professor" of irriga-
tion in the college.

This is the farmers prosperity, says
the Minneapolis Journal. His products
are the first to advance and are advanc-
ing five or six times more rapidly than
any others. All the conditions work to-
gether for his good, and the agricul-
turists of the country are going to feel
the return of good times sooner than
any other class. This is fortunate for
two reasons. One is that agricultural
prosperity is in large sense the basis
of all substantial prosperity in this
country. If the farmer is prosperous
the country at large is prosperous.
Another reason is that the farmer.
whether justly or not, has been cred
tied with being the chief sufferer from
the pernicious cheap money delusion.
His recovery from that unfortunate and
mischievous alteration is sure to be
speedy and thorough under the in
fuence of rising prices, under the gold
standard, for everything he has to
sell.

Commissioners OF Pensions Evans be-
lieves that the pension roll of the gov
ernment has reached its maximum vol
ume. From now on he thinks there
will be decrease in the number of pen
sioners. 81 think there will now be
gradual falling off in the mum ber of pen
sloners. Last year 81 300 pensioners
died, in addition to which ,074 widows
lost their pension by remarriage, 1854
minors receiving pensions lost them by
arriving at the age OF Limitation, S,6S3
by failure to claim them, and 1850 from
other causes, making a grand total in
the reduction of pensioners of 4l.122.
| think congress should take prompt
action in preventing a multiplication of
pensions through the marriage of old
soldiers. We have on our rolls the wild
ows of seven revolutionary soldiers. A
case was discovered where an aged SOL
dier was propped up in bed to be mar
ried to young girl, and after the ceri-
mony had been performed he dropped
back and died. In that case the pen
sion was not paid. But a good many
people think that the pros pective pen
sion as the widow OF a soldier is enough
to cause many young girls to marry
aged men for whom they care nothing.
except to have pension for the remain
der of their lives. 1t tseems to me the
practice is a bad one, and l hope COZ

pass legislation TO prevent a pension
being given to widows of soldiers of the
last war who marry the soldiers in the

THE MARCH OF PROSPERITY.

Minneapolis Tribune: Another un-
erring sign OF the return of prosperity
lies in the fact that the assets Of sus-
pended national banks, which at the
time of their failures were we'll nigh
valueless. have SO far improved as TO
render possible the payment of substan-
tial dividends to the creditors. The
big National Bank of Illinois has al
ready paid 10 per cent of it's claims, un
der the careful management of its re-
ceiver.
Chicago Inter Ocean: In nearly all
products. where raw or manufactured,
there is an upward movement of prices,
and this is unimpeachable evidence of
the confidence of the country in the
approach of better times. Indeed, it
now is idle to predict the approach Of
better times: better times have come,
and, apparently, have ''come to stay"
Boom times are not here, and it is we'll
they are not: but improved times are
here, and the signs are of still further
improvement.
Chicago Record: The country and
the people are beginning to share the
farmers elation. The city merchant is
welcoming the town and country
merchants, and the channels of trade,
almost run dry with the financial
drouth of the last few years, are once
more filling up with the long delayed
tide of prosperity. Good times, which
always travel in company with dollar
wheat, are not only coming-they are
here at last, and the air of hopeful
ness has displaced the air of stagna-
ton.
ST. Paul Pioneer Press: 1t is au-
thoritatively stated that 100000 mo q
persons are employed on the railroads
OF the country at the present time than
twelve months ago. Such an increase
could not have taken place unless there
had been corresponding increase in
activities of the people who make bust
ness for the railroads. In the amount
of our manufactured exports the figures
are already largely in excess of any
former period: and there is every indi-
cation that other statistics will soon
show we are good notch beyond any
thing that can be construed as "hard
times"
ST. Louis Globe Democrat The fact |
that last weeks bank clearings were 13 |
per cent in excess OF those of the same |
period of 1892, before the panic took
place, and when general business was
tairly active for the season, is an elo-
luent reminder that the long looked
.or good times are here. Nearly every
city in the country showed gains in
,learings over 1896 at this time. Bank
are ordinarily trust
worthy trade barometer. Despite the
active speculation which inordinately
'wells the clearings in some of the
arge cities at the present time, they
'etlect the business with reasonable
now.

Food Products.

Boiled peanuts are favorite dish
with the Chinese. An attempt has
been made in this country to cook and
dry peanuts and grind them into flour.
Bread made from peanut flour is said
to possess especial value to diabetic pa
tients There is little doubt that we
still slight many useful food products
The several mycological clubs which ex-
lst to disseminate knowledge of the
eatable fungi that abound in our fields
and woods have been sufficiently sue
cessful to show that movement in such

hands that can be made available. Ital-
lans make most palatable -four or

Eyes, and it's good wheel. -
"Huh! wouldn It give it house room.

Among the educational institutions
of the state which have become strong
factor in the development of education
is the Dakota University, located in
Mitchell. 1t has been among the best
disseminators of knowledge and the
students who go from its halls are
equipped for the struggles against the
world. Dakota University opens the
fall term on Wednesday, Sept. Is, and
the present outlook is favorable for a
large attendance. DR.. Graham has
travelled over the state extensively
and he feels greatly encouraged over
the goodly number OF students who
will be here on the opening day. There
are number of young people in Mitch
ell who ought to take advantage of the
opportunity presented by the Univer-
sity in finishing out their education.
With splendid faculty and full
course of study the University stands
on a level with and is superior to many
colleges in the state. The University
is home institution ana should have
more than an equal show with outside
colleges, when it is taken into consider
alton that its methods of instruction
have received the highest endorsement
and offers advantages that are not dis
counted by any of the western colleges.

The Etes.

When awaking in the morning, do
not rub the eyes. Indeed, one ought
never to rub or press the fingers against
the eyes. If they feel at all irritable,
sponge them with cold water. Cold
water has most beneficial effect upon
the eyes, and the strongest will find it
good to daily bathe the eyes in cold wa
ter. This invigorates them and helps to
keep them in good working order. But
1t must be remembered that quite cold
water should only be used when the
body is ut moderate temperature.
When one is very heated or warm, the
chill must be taken off the water to
avoid any sudden shock.
