GET OUT FROM UNDER,

GET OUT FROM UNDER.
Fergus Falls Journal: During
the past four or five years,
there has been a great deal Of talk
in certain quarters about the
money power getting the people in
debt to it, and then by adopting
the gold standard, doubling and
trebling the amount Of debts. In.
other words, farmers who con,
tracted debts when wheat was
worth so to 80 cents q bushel,
were obliged to raise Accent wheat,
owing to the manipulations Of the
money power, to pay OF these
debts, created when wheat was
worth higher price. Of course,
this lis absurd so for as RESPONSE.
bility of the change is concerned.
It was undoubtly hard to pay debts
with the low priced wheat. But
bv fortunate turn, however, in
the wheel Of fortune, " heat IS
again up to 80 and 90cents. Now
this strikes us as an admirable
tim e for the farmers of the North.
west to get out from under the
money power while wheat IS at
the figure at which the debts were
contracted. This is the right
time to 'do up" the money power.
Now that the opportunity has ar
rived to get out from under it,
don't get further into it's grasp by
running in debt tor lot. of things
just because wheat is up and times
are good again. ~ II

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.
The Real Meaning of tho Policy of
Obstruction.

The Real Meaning OF tho Policy of
Obstruction.
liRny people set him down merely as
man who, out of some sort of sinister
purpose or malignity, wished to inter-
fere with and harass, obstruct and ir-
ritate every English government and
the whole house of commons, writes
Justin Mccarthy in "A History of Our
Own Times" Mr.. Parnell had no feel
ing of the kind. His was a deliberate
purpose, and it was even by the pro-
cess of evaporation that he tried to
fix the attention of the house and the
country on the fact that there was an
Irish national demand which it would
be necessary to listen to and take into
consideration. Parnells creed was
that the house of commons was the
one great public platform of the coun-
try. From that platform he was de-
termined to appeal to and arouse the
English people. Therefore he said in
substance to the house of commons: IF
you will not listen to our Irish ma
tionnl claim, then we will not allow you
to discuss any other question whatever
o. which we can prevent the discussion.
He acted on the inspiration of the
woman in the eastern story-of which
woman he had probably never heard
who, having tried in vain to get
petition delivered to the sultan, took
her place with the little children in
the public street, and waited until the
sultan rode that way, and then flung
herself and babes in front Of the horses
hoofs, and declared that she would not
move from that spot until he had list
ened to her appeal or had trampled her
and hers to death. That was the real
meaning of the later policy of obstruc-
ton. 1t had its effect.

to write long letter to his mother, re-
lating all the circumstances of his mis-
cradle journey, and entreating her not
to take alarm at his situation, what
ever she might read about him in the
newspapers. This letter, which would
travel by the morning post, could be
preceded by telegram, informing the
old lady that her son was safe, and de-
tanned at Milldale on business. Some
hours of anxiety the son could not
spare that beloved mother; and it was
more painful to him to think of her
trouble, when five o'clock came and
brought no returning traveller, than to
contemplate his own position.
Dear old lady! ! can fancy her and
all her neat and careful arrangements
for my comfort" unused Mr.. Garfield
II know how distrustful she will be
of the maids and how she will insist
upon getting up at four O'Clock in order
to see about my breakfast And then
when the time comes, and no hanson
drives up to the gate, what agonies she
will suffer! for l have never accus-
toned her to disappointment. l have
never broken my word to her in my
life"
The cIrate fretted and fumed at the
thought of his mothers anxiety. He
was an only and an adoring son-at
thirty-two years of age a confirmed
bachelor, loving no one on earth as
well as he loved the widowed mother
whose cherished companion he had
been from childhood upward. Had she
not removed her dearly loved goods
and chattels to Eton, and lived in a
small house in the High street all the
time her boy was at school there? Had
she not followed him to Cambridge as
/ faithfully as a sutler follows a camp?
And now she had one of the prettiest
houses in South Kensington, and her
son was first curate at the most in
tcrsely Gothic church in that locality
George Caulfeld's mother was the love
o. his life. He had been assisting at q
choral festival at a small town near
Grandchester, where an old college
friend of his father was vicar, and
had been only three days away from
the dainty little nest at South Ken
sington, where blue china plates had
just broken out like pimples, on a sage
green wall, and where the Queen Anne
mania showed itself modestly in divers
inexpensive details.
Poor mother!" sighed George; "a
telegram can hardly reach her before
nine o'clock at the earliest"
He read his Tennyson; he dozed &
little; he got rid of the night somehow
and at seven o'clock he had written ant
dispatched two kilograms.
