Justice Stephen j. Field holds the
record for continuous service on the
supreme bench, having served in that
capacity for thirtyfour years, FIVE
months and six days, which surpasses
the record OF John Marshall by one day.
1t has been rumored that Justice Field
would retire from the bench when he
had attained that distinction. Justice
Field is an old man now and his age
and intirmity prevents him from taking
a very active part in the business of the
supreme court.

Enough new gold finds are being dis
covered in Montana, the Black Hills
and other localities in the west as to
allay the Klondike fever for the time
being. From all reports people are
making serious mistake in going to
that country now, but the anxiety to
be on the ground at once impels men to
cast advice to the winds and strike for
the gold fields.

In speaking of the Indifference to the
referendum as shown in the lastelection
the New York Post comments as fol-
lows upon the populist idea:
The most striking feature about the
application OF the referendum principle
in this country is the impossibility of
getting the mass Of the people to take
any interest in the matter. Nothing
can be more important 10 the people OF
state than the question whether they
shall continue to live under an old con-
stitution or new one. Yet when this
question was submitted to the people OF
Tennessee few days ago, only small
portion of them would take the trouble
to go to the polls to express an opinion
one way or the other. Soon afterward
three proposed amendments to the
constitution of Texas were submitted to
the adoption of system of irrigation
on large scale, was of great conse-
quence to the development of the COM
monwealth. Yet, while over $50, 1000
ballots were cast for president in Texas
last year, less than 100000 could be
persuaded to express their sentiments
on this vital issue. There was nothing
abnormal about these experiences Of
Tennessee and Texas. 1t is the very
rare exception that our American re-
ferendum, which we do not call by that
name, ever brings out more than very
light vote. Merely calling the process
by the Swiss title will, of course not
affect the disposition of the people to-
ward it, and until the masses show
more interest in the chances to vote
which they now enjoy there is little
encouragement to multiply the number.

RATES TO BUFFALO,

The Rail, Dads Make Greater Concession
to the Old Soldiers to Go East.
The agents Of the Omaha and Mil
waukee roads received notice Friday
that the round trip rate to Buffalo, on
account of the national encampment of
the G. A. r., had been reduced to
S25.30 practically one-cent rate. The
old soldiers around here were greatly
pleased to learn of the reduction, which
will probably enable more to attend
than was at first anticipated. Agent
Wilt of the Omaha expressed it as his
opinion that the rate would very likely
be less than the one mentioned above.
There are many New York people who
are anxious to make trip back to their
old homes aud with so low rate many
will take advantage of it,

ASKS SOME POINTED QUESTIONS.
The Tribune Shows What Bridgewatsr
is Doing by Asking Questions.


is Doing by Asking Questions.
Bridgewater Tribune: Our Populist
friends are setting up great cry be-
cause republican newspapers and re-
publican merchants are telling of the
evidences of returning prosperity and
better times. Let US admit for argu-
ment's sake that times are no better
than they have been. Now, will some
OF our Populist friends please rise and
explain why it is and how it comes
that the carpenters and painters Of
Bridgewater have more work than
they can do. and have engagements for
work ahead? Will they tell US why it
is that some of our citizens in town and
Immediate vicinity have gone ahead
and erected new dwellings and others
have added substantial additions to
their houses? Will they tell us why
it is that the lumber and coal dealers
have filled their yards and sheds with
stocks of lumber and coal larger than
they have ever carried before? Will
they tell US why it is that the merch-
ants have ordered larger stocks of
goods in all lines than they have ever
carried? Will they tell us why it is
that the Tribune will be compelled to
enlarge its advertising space in order
to accommodate merchants who have
already engaged space in it's columnso
Will they tell us why it is that G. G.
Meredith and Hanson Bros. have sold
again as much wall paper as they did
last year, besides having two others to
compete with that they had not be-
fore? Will they tell us why it is that
four or five new additions have been
made to the professional and business
interests of Bridgewater during the
past few months? Will they tell us
why many OF our citizens have, despite
the hard times, painted and improved
their dwellings, set out beautiful shade
trees, laid new walks. or enclosed their
premises with neat fence all of which
took money to do? Will they tell US
why the grain elevators will open up in
Bridgewater next Monday and pay 10
to 10 cents for wheat, where last season
our files show they paid 3s to 40 cents?
Will they tell us why the hank clear
ances were 25 per cent larger for last
week than for the corresponding week
in 1896? Will they tell us why the
wholesalers of the county have not in
years been doing SO much business at
this time of the year? Will they tell
US why the business failures for July
were smaller for amount involved than
in any time in four years? Will they
tell us why the factories and planning.
mills are overwhelmed with orders,
and many of them forced to run day
and night? Will they tell us why the
wholesale houses have increased the
number of their salesman? Will thew
tell US why a salesman will tell you, if
asked, that he is selling a third more
goods than he did last year? Will they
tell us why there are not hundreds of
Coxey armies marching to Washing
ton to prevail upon President Mckinley
to do something to "relieve" the
suffering" of the people? And while
they are answering these questions will
they tell us why silver worth 53 cents
year ago is worth but triAe over 43
cents today?

CoSey, the great common wealer, is

The Ruralist, Loucks's paper, can be
considered pretty good authority with
reference to populist utterances. and
what he has to say concerning the
fusion of democratic and populist forces
can very likely be relied upon as ex.
pressing the sentiment of that party.
In referring to statement made by
Senator Jones. Of the democratic ma
tional committee, that he never auth
oriZed the agreement to withdra
Sewall if the pops would nominate
Bryan, the Ruralist says:
During the national convention
Judge Plowman, who is now mem ber
OF the national committee, came before
the South Dakota delegation and as
sured us that he had it from Senator
cones that if we wonld nominate BRYAN
that Sewell would be withdrawn. If
such positive assurance had not been
given Mr.. Bryan would not have re-
celved the unanimous vote of the South
Dakota delegation. We believe then.
and we believe now, that such assur-
ance was given Judge Plowman. How
many other delegations were deceived
in the same way? 1t is because of
these things that good many pop
ulists have no faith in democratic
promises.
This would indicate that when the
next campaign rolled around Brer.
Loucks would not be party to any
fusion deal and that the democrats
would have to unite again for their
own gain and glory. Mr.. Louckss
senstorial aspirations undoubtedly con.
vinced him Of the uselessness of fusion.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur
a receptacle for the
urine. and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The sec
ond way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause OF bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created tor one purpose, and II not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease; except In rare
cases. 1t is situated back OF and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or inconvenience manifested In
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
massage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble OF
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
