A Christmas-tide Reflection from the
Far North.

Why will itnot snow9 Christmas
is near, and what Is Christmas with
out snow, thickly falling snow ?
We have not had one snowfall all
the time we have been drifting. The
hard grains that como down now
and again arc nothing, Oh! the
beautiful white snow, falling so
gently and silently, softening every
hard outline with sheltering purity
There is nothing more dcliciously
restful, soft, and white. This snow
less ico-plain is like a life without
lovc-nothing to soften it. The
marks Of all the battles and pres
sure Of the ice stand forth just as
when they were made, rugged and
difficult to move among. Love is
life's snow, 1t falls deepest and
softest into the gashes left by the
tight-whiter and purer than snow
itself. What is life without love7
1t is like this ice---a cold bare
rugged mass, the wind driving it
and rending it, and then forcing it
together again, nothing to cover
over the open riffs, nothing togutnst..

General Assembly to secure legislation
prohibiting the mortgaging or plcdg-

Chairman Hunter stated that it

committee was instructed to prepare

date action. 1t is as follows:

lowed the flag? Have they not fol-
lowed it up the Mississippi and the
Missouri and over the Rocky Noun
tains, and across the Plains, and down
the Pacific Slope? Are they not fol-
lowing il today even over the Chilkoot
Pass and up the distant Yukon? Why
will they not follow it into Hawaii?
Furthermore. the population of Ha-
wall is not utterly "alien and incon-
gruous." 1t is so largely composed of
Americans and those in accord with
American ideas that they have a gov
eminent modelled after our own The
population Of Hawaii today is less in
congruous with our own than that of
Louisiana. Florida, Texas, California,
Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Ari-
neXations. The influx of emigration,
trade and enterprise will make Hawaii
equally American long before the time
comes when she will knock at the door
Of the Union for admission as a State.
When that event happens We shall
still have the same power that we have
today of saying Eyes" Or NO" Can
we not safely trust ourselves TO decide
that question rightly when it may pre-
sent itself? Or shall we reject a val
liable addition to our domain because
we are afraid of our own shadows?

The Baltimore-American has
large influence in the State of
Maryland. 1t is a Republican pa
per, but its influence is increasing,
as the old party lines disappear.
In one of its recent editorials on
Hawaii, it says:
The annexation of Hawaii is not
sought because of the wealth Of the
Islands, though that is considerable,
but on account of the strategical i'm
portance of the group, and the i'm
mense value it may be to this country
in the future. A statesman who never
looks beyond his nose may be very
successful one, and receive vast
amount of credit from his contempo-
raries, but he who looks into the flu
ture, and makes provision for the
growth and expansion of his country,
and the expansion of the worlds civil
liZation and commerce, is very much
greater man, even though he may not
get as many hurrahs as the former.
The United States has had in prospect
the annexation of Hawaii for many
years, and has at last determined to
act, because not to do so will be to
play the dog-in-the-manger towards
| the rest of the world, and because 9TH
er nations may not always be so COM
placent as they seem to be at present.
With European disputes adjusted, it
| would be an easy matter for one OF
these naval powers to turn towards Ha-
| wall, and it would be difficult for this
country to defend an imaginary inter-
est in the Islands.
The Island of Hawaii is a strategic
point more in the sense of its protec-
ton to our commerce than as an aux
Hilary in fighting an enemy. American
commerce is small at present, even on
the Pacific; but the day must come,
and there is hope that it may be near,
when that reproach will no longer ex-
ist-When the seas, as of old, Will
swarm with our ships. Republican
policy, faithfully carried out, will
bring about such conditions in much
shorter time than the most sanguine
hope for The commerce of the Pa
cifc is growing very rapidly, and it
will increase in geometrical progress
sion in the course of a few years. Ha-
wall seems built for the guardianship
of commerce A few armed vessels
there would obviate the necessity Of
large navy, and extend absolute Sc
curity not only to American commerce,
but to the ships of the world.

WASHOIT IN JAPAN
Railroad Train Precipated Down
AN Embankment.

Dispatches from Japan, via Victoria,
contain the accounts Of a serious rail-
road wreck in Japan on the Tokaido
Railway, in consequence OF the severe
foods. The floods also did great dam
age to property.
According TO the official estimate on
October 9Th there were 10000 houses
under water, 100 houses and 20 bridges
washed away in AichI, and several
places, namely, Kaito, Kaisa, Naka-
shima, Niva and Haguey, were sub
merged up TO the roofs of the houses.
Out Of the 430 emigrants raised by
the Hiroshima Emigration Company
for Hawaii, the 213 yet remaining in
Japan are making their way on foot TO
Yokohama from Shizuoka, from
whence railway communication has
been interrupted by recent floods.
They will leave Yokohama for Hawaii
at the end of the month, together with
another company Of 300 emigrants.

Better than Ever.

Farm, Stock & Home, Minneapolis,
Mimi, begins it's fourteenth volume
November 18th, and starting with
that issue will hereafter appear with
enlarged pages, having fourteen
inch column instead of thirteen as
heretofore.
Farm, Stock & Home, by the use of
minion type, has always given more
reading matter for the money than
any other Minnesota Agricultural pa
per and this move will place it still
further to the fore. While an inch
on column does not seem n great
deal, little figuring will quickly
prove that it is nearly equal to CIV
ing twenty-six papers of the old size
in year, instead of twenty four. The
subscription price and frequency OF
issue will remain the same, viz: 1st
and 18th of each month and SO cents
per year. The PLAIN DEALER has an
arrangement with the publishers by
which Farm, Stock & Home can be
had in connection with it for 81 25 fol

Trnfhs from Rruan,

If the republican party raised the
price of wheat, why did it lower the
price of corn and cotton?"
"Why do the republicans claim
credit for the rise in wheat and
neglect to claim credit for rise in
sugar, due to the fact that the sugar
trust made the sugar schedule in the
Dingley bill?''
1.-The Dingley bill is responsible for
the fact that clothing is rising in
price. With clothing rising, corn no
higher and hay and clover lower
than last year, how will the farmer
know that prosperity has reached
him?'
'The only prosperity is in wheat.
What will the farmers do when the
famine in India is over?'
"The gold standard was conceived
in avarice, fastened upon the people
by stealth, continued by fraud, and
its high priest was Hanna"
Republicans, you say the gold
standard is the standard of civiliza-
ton. Why did the republican con-
gress, then, appropriate 100000 to
get rid of q standard of civilization?''

NOT FOR EVERYTHING

But if you have kidney, liver or blad-
der trouble you will find Swamp-Root
just the remedy you need. People
are not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. II you are mot
quite well'' or :'half sick" have you
ever thought that your kidneys ray
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours; q
sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain
or dali ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp
Root give new life and activity to the
kidneys-the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic
for the entire constitution. If you
need medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar, or by mention.

Intrinsic Value.
From the Scientific American.


lis there such thing as intrinsic
valueS" the Mining and Scientific
Press asks. Certainly. 1t is intrin-
sic qualities which give intrinsic val
ne. Generally. what is meant is that
the article embodies in the form in
which it is offered for sale, not only
original intrinsic qualities, but the
actual labor and expense of its pro-
duction. II is term, however, which
is applied in many different ways. and
often is used when Interchangeable
value" is meant. An article may have
intrinsic value and yet have no ex-
changeable value. Water is one of
the necessities of life, but it is usually
SO easily obtained that it has no CON-
mercial value. A man will be slow
to give up thing, which has cost
him labor, for water, when he simply
has to dip it up or stoop down and
drink. The moment, however, that
water has to be forced long distances
to places where it is needed, 1t i'm
mediately possesses both intrinsic aud
and exchapgeable value. The cost of
transportation may add to the value
of an article just as surely as labor.

10 Cure Eafarrh

do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other applications. Catarrh is q
constitutional disease, and can be
SUI eassfully tr. ated by means of con.
stitulional reuedy like Hoods Sar.
saparilla, which thoroughly purifies
the blood and removes the scrofulous
taints which cause catarrh. The great
number of testimonials from those
who have been cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the un.
equalled power of this medicine to
conquer this disease. If troubled
with Catarrh give Hoods Sarsap.
arilla a fair trial at once.
