MR.. RICHARDSON WANTS DANCES.
j. B. Richardson has begun
an interesting suit in the United
States circuit court. He wants
damages to the extent of $4,000
from the Duluth. Mlssabe &
Northern railroad for being put
off train when he held a ticket
which he alleges to be good, and
which incident. he further al
leges, caused him to be beaten
in the contest for justice of the
peace at Sparta.
Mr.. Richardson alleges in his
complaint that he was compelled
to walk the greater part of the
distance from Duluth to Sparta.
He demands ST, 900 for the inter-
ference thus occasioned in his
campaign work. He complains
that he has been dlsgraced in the
minds of the voters and lost val
liable time which might have
been employed in working for
his election. Mr.. Richardson
also demands $4,000 for being
elected from the train. The
plaintiff reI resents himself as a
subject of Great britain.

 The ladies did the boosting. But this will be a different fad:
 The men will do the tossing The ladies are supposed Co take
 The most complaccnt ease. While men manipulate inc cake
 And make the ice cream freeze. They can converse in groups and rows On dress and millinery. While awkward men arc soillpg clothes Where drops inc ripe strawberry. The men nave always thought twas pie To rustic plates and pans. Aud now the girls can wink their eye And grin behind their fans. We cannot tell you ail ihoy'll do;
 The program is too long; The Methodist church Will welcome you With festive mir;h and song Of course the mon know they're moi bicst With such sweet charm aud grace. But just for once they II lci them rest And try and take their place.

THE INCENSE OF A NATION.

To write or speak anything which has not been said before about the great anniversary exhibition of the republics gratitude, which falls to- morrow, would be impossible; but so lofty is the theme and so far reaching is the sentiment to which the obser- vance of the day appeals, that it would be sacrlege to pass itunnoticed or omit mention of the lessons of pa triOtism and devotion to duty which it inculeates.
 Memorial Day is not an anniversary in which to indulge cheap hcroics or vulgar display Of pride. America is now so far removed from the tremen- dous time in which occurred the events wherein the soldiery of the republic laid the broad foundation on which rests their claim to eternal gratitude, that the vision of those surveying the field of history is DO longer obscured by prejudice nor distorted by passion. Now all can see what were the ten dencies of the two contending princi- ples which struggled for mastery where the heavy tramp of armed le- gions shook the hllls and wales of the sunny southland, and all can discern that the mastery prevailed with the principle which was best in applica- tion for all the people. These things are admitted with neither undue nor unseemly qualification Of the victor nor unkind disparagement of the van qnisiied. To the men wlo fought the war, on both sides, there remains too keen recollection of yalorous deeds, heroic performances, crucial suflcrings and unfaltering devotion to duty, in those they faced in battle, to admit now of any rancbrous or pecyish sentiment. Each did his whole, un- divided duty, as God gave him to see the right, and today each credits the other with honesty and Steadfastness 'h pA ApASSoipiis uuh Nbui ebSC dbh Achi iCoc- ness in his action.
 Nevertheless, in recalling the far reaching results at stake, in the turn of either event, there remains re- cognitiOn due those whose successful vaIor effected the turn We now SD glad ly acclaim. That recognition takes this form Of annual decoration Of the graves Of those who took part in the tremendous struggle. Hence on the appointed day the people in all the broad land, gather with d single pur- pose, and with dropping banners and solemn music march to the silent cities of the dead to observe this great memorial festival of patriotism. Seulptured marble uor storied urU, the graces of oratory DOT the pBaDs of song can tell so well the story of a pstioD's gratitude as do the garlaDds Of

TROUBLE PROMISED.

Like Banqnou's ghost the Guberna- torial racket will not down though though most Republicans opposed to NIT. McCord, on his appointment by President Mckinley were disposed to try to abide by the Presidents judg- ment. But the opposition is not con- fined to any party in the Territory and will not down. What the end of tue contest will be is hard to predict. If Mr. McCord is confirmed the con test will not have ended, it will sim ply have taken on new lease of life and engendered additional division and political strife. Phoenix Herald
 TIE OASIS sincerely hopes that the Herald has not correctly described the situation. Those who have oppo- sed Governor McCord should now hold off their hands and give him the oppor- tunity to shape his administration and its policy. The threat conveyed by the Herald that the contest is to be continued to engender additional party division and factional strife is i'll timed and contemptible. Re- publicans who care for the eternal principles on which the party is found- cd certainly cannot commend such utterances. By the highest republi- can authority in the land Governor McCord has been selected to adminis- ter republican policy in Arizona. His policy should be the policy of all re- publicans. opposition thereto should come from democrats not from re- publicans.
 Elsewhere is printed an interview with Governor McCord, taken from tue Washington Times. A careful consideration of the utterances there presented will show plainly that the new executive selected for Arizona has outlined a broad and liberal admin istration which cannot fail to bene- it the territory at large. It is poli- cy of broad and comprehensive states manship, and it's successful applica- tion cannot fail to benefit the re- publican party. To enable it to do so every republican owes the party a duty to uphold Governor McCord's efforts to frame and maintain the po- Hey lie announces. Those who refuse to do so simply assert in advance that to them the party and it's principles arc nothing that if they cannot con trol the organization they prefer to ruin it.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For this brave old earth must borrow its
IT has trr.uhies n-,ottsn or ies
Sing and the hills will answer,
Sigh. it is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voiclng care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they turn and go,
They want full measure for all your
pleasure,
But do not want your Woe
Be glad. and your friends are many,
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nectared
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you to
live,
But no man can help you to die.
There's room in the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Thro' the narrow aisles of pain.

LOVERS STILL.

(From Chambers Journal)
His hair as wintry snow is white;
Her trembling steps are slow.
His eyes have lost their merry light,
Her cheeks their rosy glow,
Her hair has lost its tints of gold,
His voice it's joyous thrill,
And yet, though feeble, gray and old,
They're faithful lovers still
They've had their share of hopes and
fears,
Their share of bliss and bale,
Since first he whispered in her ears,
A lovers tender tale.
Full many thorn amid the flowers
Has lain upon their way,
They've had their full November hours
AS well as days of May
But firm and true, through veal and woe
Through change of time and scene,
Through winters gloom, through sum
mer's glow,
Their faith and love have been,
Together hand in hand they pass
Serenely down life's hill,
In hopes one grave in churchyard grass
May hold them lovers still.

Molly is my comforter
When every hope seems dead,
Her smile is like a blessing
On bitter crust of bread;
Her loving arms-they necklace me
When Fortune serves me ill;
And sweet she whispers: LET it be-
For love is left US stillv'
No bloom the seasons bringing
From Towering east or west;
/ hear no robin singing
With the red upon his breast;
No light for me on land or sea
By thorny vale or hill;

No glittering goal afar;
The morning bright is lost in night
The storm has drowned the star"

JIM BLUDSO,
OF THE PRAIRIE BELLE.

Wall, no. can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways. he's got out of the habit
OF Twin like you and me.
| Whar have you been for the last three
year,
That you haven't heard folks tell
| How Jimmy Bludso passed in the checks
The might of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez- under-the-hill
And another one here IN Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row;
But he never funked and he never lied
/ reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A Thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day come at last;
The iMovastar was a better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And so she came tearin along that night
The oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed-rosin and
pine.
The fire burst out as she clared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and made
| For that willer bank on the right.
| There was rlnnin' and cussin', but Jim
yelled out,
| Over all the Internal roar;
''I'll hold her nozzle agin' the bank
| Till the hast galoot's Shore
Through the hot black breath of the
burnin' boat
| Jim BludsO's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness.
And knowed he would keep his word.
| And, sure's you're born, they all got off
| AfOre the smokestack FELL
| And Bludsos ghost went up alone
| In the smoke of the Prairie Belle
He weren't no saint. but at Judgment
| I'd run my chance with Jim
| Longside of some pious gentlemen
| That wouldn't shook hands with him.
| He seen his duty-a dead sure thing
| And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt agoing to be too hard
| On a man that died for men.

QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

IT'S point I fain would know,
Oft occasions anxious thought;
Was a certain Mr.. Jo-
Nah in the whale, or was he not?
Did he pray to be released?
Finding prayers Of no avail,
And his raiment soiled and creased,
Did he blubber in the whaldA
Sailing DER that watery waste,
Did he count the various bones
Destined to define the waist
or the Misses Smith and Jones?
Floating in that early swim,
Did he in the least foresee
That in ages following him
Still a 'corker" he would be?
