Tended in war SO we'll as that one
which in peace protects and safe
guards the interests of the humblest
toiler. This is to be done by pro-
viding for them an ever improving
education of hand and mind, by Sc
curing for them the enjoyment of in
creased rights, privileges and oppor-
tunities, and by fostering among
them the manly virtues OF independ-
ence and self-re1iance. With the
close Of this war the last barrier in
the way of national prosperity has
been removed. We are now to enter
upon an era the most auspicious
ever experienced by this or any other
people. At the threshold OF this new
order of peace and prosperity, we
can, as individuals and as a COM
monwealth, afford to pause, and by
our Labor day celebration call at
tention to the fact that no nation
can long succeed in war, or make
progress in the arts of peace, in
which the toiler is disregarded, or in
which his welfare is not made the
corner stone upon which the whole
superstructure rests. 1t is especially
fitting and proper then, that all men,
employers and employees, should
lay aside for the day their usual vo-
cations, and by meeting in public as
semblies and in all practical and fit
ting ways seek to emphasize the dig
nifty and worth OF labor, and to con-
slider ways and means of securing a
marked elevation and improvement
in the condition of the Industrious
toilers in our midst.

For the past few months this ma

land and sea. That war has now
happily been closed with victory for

Some Reasons Why Eddy
Should be Reelected.

! UNLESS Une voters OI Une SeVenCn
congressional district desire to be to-
tally without representation in the
Fhty-sixth congress, they will see to
it that Cong1 essman Frank NJ. Eddy
is returned. Twice since it's creation
this district has sent up a populist
representative, or something con-
forming as closely to that character
as it is possible to designate under
present party alignments. In each
case it found reason to regret it's ac-
,tion, and later atoned for it by the
election and re-electionsof republic
an. Mr.. Eddy is one Of the very alb
lestmen in the Minnesota delega ton,
which is to say one Of the best men
sent up from the Northwest, and he
has given standing andscharacter to
a. district which was identified in the
Eastern mind with the backwoods of
Arkansas and the Blackfoot districts
of Missouri.
Without disparagement to his op-
ponent, whom it would be no great
compliment to designate as one of
the best men in his party, the defeat
of Mr.. Eddy would be a a.calamity to
the Seventh district. No new man
not even a republican--can do much
in the next congress, which will de-
vote itself largely to the considera-
tion of the unfinished business of the
war. Mr.. Eddy has the situation
we'll in hand, and would be an integ-
raj part of the congress which is to
set in motion the machinery of pros
perity at the resumption OF our nor
NAL business relations. He is thor
oughly conversant with the order OF
procedure in congress sand has a re-
putation and standing in the house
which will be of inestin ble value to
him and his district il the work to
be done.
It is about time fo1 the Seventh
district to shake off tho odium of be-
ing a populist territory What has
it gained by it? 1t has secured moth
ing at the hands OF the state except
what has been given it by republi-
cans, and the two congressman who
have stood for populism we're known
only as the men who saved their sal
aries, lived off their stationery allow
ance and never got acquainted with
the speaker. s*
Since Mr.. Eddy has represented
the district the Red river valley has
been recognized, politically and COM
mercially, to an extent it never knew
before. The Sixth district has pro-
vided a playground for Charley
Towne, where he can amuse himself
with his Observation-Disclosures
erendum rag baby without annoying
the general public. Let the Seventh
do as much for Ringdahl, or whatev-
er his name is, and give prosperity

IMPORTANT EVENTS RELATED
IN A BRIEF MANNER.
Death and Destruction at FIT. Smith,
Ark.-over Two Score Lives Lost
Senator Hanna Reelected.
Many KILLED i'm a Cyclone.

A tornado struck Fort Smith, Ark. :,
about midnight, leaving death and de-
struction in its track. The storm came
up suddenly from the southwest and In
a moment large portion of the city
was in ruins. Homes were wrecked by
the score and hundreds of people were
left without food or shelter Several
brick buildings at Ninth and Garrison
avenues were crushed like eggshells
and as the second stories were used for
living purposes, there was found the
greatest number of dead.
To add to the horror of crashing
buildings, the roar of the storm and
the cries of the wounded, fire broke
out in number of places and the de-
partment was unable TO cope with the
new danger and several bodies were
cremated before the fires were extin-
guished by a heavy rain which fol-
lowed the storm.
The handsome high school building,
just finished at cost of 500, 600, was
leveled to the ground, besides the Bap-
list and Central Methodist churches.
Twelve hours after the storm Al per-
sons had been reported killed and
hundreds of persons were injured,
some fatally. The damage to property
will run into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
Fort Smith has population of about
10000 and lies at the confluence of the
Pitou and Arkansas rivers The storm
struck the city in the southwestern
section, right at point where the two
rivers come together, and near the old
fort. From there it spread out over
the whole city, dipping down and scat
tering destruction here and there.
There is a rise in the city toward the
east to meet the Mills on that side, and
most of the damage to property and
loss of life was through that section.
The tornado crossed the Pitou river
and swept through the national ceme-
terry, laying low the walls and demol-
ishing the residence of r. G.. Baldwin.
It's path was about 200 yards wide.
After leaving Fort Smith the tornado
veered over and touched at Alma, a
village of 500 inhabitants, about nine
miles northeast, causing considerable
damage and some loss of life.

MERE MENTION OF MICHIGAN
MATTERS.
Lansing and Roast Gov. Pingree-
The Grist MIL Men also Have an
Excellent Time.
g. o. p. Editors Roast the Governor.

q. q. Il. Editors Roast the Governor.
The Michigan Republican Editors
association met in the state capitol at
Lansing to discuss matters of interest
TO themselves and their party. There
was a decided tendency to roast Gov.
Pingree for his attacks upon some of
the prominent leaders of the G. O. p.
in Michigan. L. j. March, of the
Hillsdale Leader, opened the batteries
of editorial wrath in n paper on
"Party Fealty; How Far it Shall Con-
troll Individual Conscience" in which
he urged that none but genuine Re-
publicans be nominated for Office and
that they should stand squarely upon
the Republican platform. The paper
was heartily applauded and while
there was no open mention OF Gov.
Piugree there was no doubt that every
one present knew that he was the tar
get at which the thrusts were aimed.
Representative Bemis, of Carson City,
was scarcely less emphatic in his de-
nunciation of "a high state official who
had declared that he did not give a
d what the press said about him. y"
Geo. L. Barnes, of Howell, said that
4'Gov. Plngree might not be entitled
to a nomination if he did not stop at
lacking Senator Burrows and other
party leaders"
Several important resolutions were
adopted, in substance as follows:
That a representative of the associa-
ton be sent to Mexico to investigate
the operations of the 1G to l coinage
ratio; that the Dingley tariff law meets
the hearty approval of the associa-
ton as a wise and timely settle
ment of the tariff question which should
now be eliminted from national poll
tics; declaring unalterable opposition
to the evident plrposc of the Demo
Populist alliance to foist silver mono
metallism upon the nation; that it is
the sense of the association that the
civil service laws should be so amended
as TO permit the President, heads of de-
partments and other prominent officials
greater latitude in the selection of sub
ordinates for whose acts they are re.
sponsible.
The following resolution was intro
duced but was Withdrawn after an at
tempt to discuss it in secret session had
been defeated: Resolved, That we be-
lieve as first requirement of all NOM
inees of our party that they should be
true Republicans at all times faithful
to the party principles and tolerant of
its acknowledged leaders and promi-

third, the right to extend the Burmah
railway through Hu Nan province (the
most southwestern in China).
In the event of her default China is
to place certain revenues under the
control OF the imperial customs. On
this basis the negotiations will proceed.
China regards them rs advantageous,
but fears threatened opposition of

Mark Hanna Elected U. $. Senator.

The Ohio state legislature has fin
ished battle which attracted the at
tention of the whole nation, in the
election of Hon. Marcus A. Hanna as
United States senator for both the
short and long terms. There was
much uncertainty as to the outcome of
the contest down to the moment of
taking the votes in the senate and
house and in the joint session. The
two weeks preceding had been a sea-
son of hard work for Hanna's friends
and for his enemies, and each day
brought forth its sensations, with
charges and countercharges, and The
result was an exceedingly close vote.
When the vote was taken in the senate
and house separately Mr.. Hanna had 10
votes in senate against II for Mayor
McKisson, of Cleveland, upon whom
the Anti Hannaites united, while in
the house the vote stood Hanna SO;
McKisson 40; Wiley L; Warner /; LEM
/, and one absent. This gave Hanna
20, majority of one over all in a total
membership of 100. In the joint ses-
sion Hanna received the same vote, 70;
McKisson 20, LEM /, absent one. The
ballot stood the same for both the
short and long terms.
The most sensational event of the
two days session on which the ballot
ing occurred was an attempt of the
anti Hannaites to force an investigation
of the charges of bribery made against
the Hanna workers, but it was voted
down.

Mckinley is for Bimetallism.

Senator Chandler had a conference
with President Mckinley upon the sub
iect of bimetallism and he said after
the close of the interview: The Pres
ident stands firmly in favor of inter-
national bimetalism as promised by
the st. Louis platform. lie considers
the negotiations with the European
powers only temporarily suspended on
account of the peculiar condition of
affairs in India, and it is the Presidents
intention to again send his ENJOYS TO
Europe as soon as the conditions are
favorable for continuing negotiations.
Senator Chandler added the opinion
that the President is as earnestly in
favor of bimetallism-''th use of both
metals as standard money"-as the
senator himself.

U. $. warsh,ps to Sail for Cuba.

There has been severe riotiDg in

opposed Gen. Weyler's methods. The

badly wrecked and several persons

the rioters may turn their vengeance
upon the object of Spanish hatred-the
