An Explanation.

The reason for the great popularity
of Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the tact
that this medicine positively cures. 1t
is Americas Greatest Medicine, and
the American people have an abiding
confidence in its merits. They buy
and take it for simple as we'll as
serious ailments, confident that it will
do them good.

A matter of party policy, though
semi-national, is the question Of United
States Senator-C. K. Davis. It has
certainly been amusing to see the re-
publican press and spellbinders
marching democrats, populists and
silver men generally in the procession
for Davis, at the coming senatorial
election! Why? Simply because, in
the discharge of duty, he has been
near the administration in the prose-
cution Of the Spanish war, and has
been at Paris on an assignment in
closing that war; to which may be add
ed that Mrs. Davis has had an inter-
view with an ex-empress in which she
kissed the eX-monarch's hand! And
the reform forces of Minnesota are
asked to make it unanimous, re-
CARELESS Of what is meant thereby;
whether the duty just discharged by
Mr.. Davis will stand the light of his
tory or the treaty he has made even
get through the senate. Opposition to
it is declared by some OF the most dis
tinguished men of his own party.-R.

The Pipe Organ.

Editor Tribune:-I see in the Argus, that a
certain writer takes occasion to reprimand
you for your editorial correspondence on the
Tripols pipe organ dedication, in which you
stated that it was the first pipe organ to come
into the county. He makes himself very ri
diculous by his bold assertion that his ''pros-
porous town. has the honor for having put up
the first pipe organ in the county. Evidently
he did not read your article. Fact is that the
first pipe organ in the county was placed in the
Swedish Lutheran Tripods church % years
ago. In 1870 Mr.. P. o. Mattson, a gentleman
of q musical turn of mind, came from Sweden
and settled in Tripolis Happily he carried
with him q pipe organ, which he placed in the
church us he was elected organist by the con-
gregation. This organ was in use at every ser
vice for II years, except when something had
happened toit. 1t was not as large or as ex-
cellent as the one recently placed in the
church, but it was nevertheless pipe organ
and the first that saw this prosperous
county OF ours. I hope this will settle the
question. Yours, A.

What a deceptive world this is.
We see columns in the republican
newspapers telling how plentiful
money is, about the balance of trade
being in our favor, about the national
treasury being over-stocked, etc.
Right here in Owatonna we see wheat
selling at 81 cents a bushel, and hogs
bringing So a hundred weight-as low
as the market ever was in the worst
times. Surely the republican blowers
aud stickers are trying to deceive the
peop]e.-Peoples Press, Owatonna.
We should hardly want to make So
serious an accusation as that they
want to deceive the people, but rather
be more charitable and attribute it to
dense ignorance and lethargy on polit.
ical matters. There will be an awak-
ening some day when the cribs are
empty.

The reformers of Minnesota who

The reformers of Minnesota who 90
back a generation, learned their first
lessons from G. K. Davis, and they can
tell the new generation if it need to
know, why they cannot respect him
now politically. When they contem.
plate what he stands for now, as cor
poration defender, and exponent OF
the party Of the trusts and combines,
and what he stood for in his youthful
vigor when he spoke for the people,
and, as all believe, from the heart,
they are in no mood to have their re.
personalities led away by silly senti-
mentalism. They believe that in 1871
2-3 "Cush' Davis was sincere. Then
he talked "Modern Feudalism, as he
contemplated the grasping power OF
the corporations and the dangers con-
fronting the plain common people.
He was the first preacher Of municipal
ownership. He actually proposed tina
the government seize trunk lines aud
permit the owners Of trains and others
to carry their produce on them without
cost, same as any free road. A dozen
years later he had not changed, but in
a matchless Grafton in this state, on
the dedication of a great exposition,
as he had done the same year (1886)
at Ann Arbor, he pleaded for the peo-
pie and with such fervor that the seeds
sprang up and grew init the Farmers
Alliance, which made an almost sue
cessful attempt to redeem the state
from the evils G. K. Davis denounced.
For time this man, whose ability
is acknowledged and mastery of Ian
guage great, was in retirement. He
was developing professional BUSH
ness Of value to the corporations he
had denounced. He reached the United
States senate. But when next he
pleads a public utility it is as COR
poration attorney in a battle against
the state itself.
If it were the c.. K. Davis of 1870 to
'86, the people would know no party
in his honor; one of the present sort
no, thank you. The reform forces in
this state have men of stauncher stuff,
and they will place one such in their
leadership, even though the honor
prove empty.--R. r. B.

THE CHRISTMAS ANGELS.

How often have wondered why at Christ
mas there is such universal Joy and happiness
Why all hearts are then filed with love and
care for others. This feeling of good will in
all towards all is too pure, too lofty to have
originated from any earthly cause. It must
be the result OF some inspiration from above
And there can be no solution of the mystery
more satisfactory than this, that the angels
who so long ago proclaimed the birth of Christ,
revisit the earth every night before his birth
day to till it with love and peace.
When this busy world is wrapped in slumber,
when only the twinzng stars are awake
when there is u reign of darkness and silence,
then softly and gently is the gate of heaven
opened to let these angels through I seem
to hear the faint futter of their cleaning
white wings and we see them as they descend
gracefully and slowly in their robes of dazzling
Wilderness. But it is above all Imagination
when their voices blend in the heavenly
strains of music the words Peace and good
will to men, in melody divine and harmony
most rich, clear and sweet.
see them as they fit into homes of wealth
and luxury. into chambers where they sleep
VINO know no want and endure no hardships.
Where children with blossoms of health are
dreaming of the Christmas so merry to them.
The angels bending low whisper to them words
OF tender pleading for the homeless, the poor
and the suffering.
Then they tread into the rooms that speak
| of misery and want. Where they lie who
daily feel the cruel pangS of hunger and the
bitter sting of cold whose dreams are of care
and worry. But now some heavenly voices
low and sweet with words of great love and
deep sympathy cheer them with bright pros
| spects for the morrow, and tell them that they
shall enjoy the birthday of Christ
Countless of other deeds are performed by
! these winged children of love. Soothing COM
| forting and blessing until the golden streak! of
dawn is seen in the east and the sparkling stars
have grown dim by the daylight Then leaving
the world frightened and bettered they ascend
to celebrate Christmas with Him in His heay-

friend of mine went to France to spend
Christmas with his aged father and mother
When he returned he related to me how Christ
mas was spent in his native country: Christ
mas begins at midnight on Christmas eve,
when everyone goes to midnight mass in the
churches. This lasts for an hour, then we 20
home and have u tine dinner, or supper, to
which our friends and relations are invited
Black sausage and champagne always figure
prominently at this feast, and it is kept up to
an early hour in the morning. We always put
our shoes by the chimney corner Christmas
eve in the hope that the little Noel would
como and till them. The older people receive
no presents and send no Christmas cards or
letters. It is only the children who have gifts.
The night before Christmas the shops are a.
blaze with lights; and restaurants keep open
all night and are decorated with greens and
have Christmas trees in their windows In the
Bon Marche there is a large tree every Christ
mas, loaded with presents for the poor children.

king had come into the world. At first the
shepherds were sore afraid, but when they
heard the good news from the angels, and that
they should follow the star which would lead
them to the birthplace OF Jesus, they did not
hesitate but left their flocks while they went
to worship the king. The star led them on and
on, like guide, until it stopped before stable
in Bethlehem. The shepherds went in the
stable and in a chamber lay the baby King
They had brought presents and sweet smell
ing stufs to present to Him. They laid the
presents down before Jesus. and with them,

they would sacrifice their most priced things

Christmas ought to have this effect on u.s.
that we should forget ourselves to make 9TH

NORA ELFSTRUM.

The reason why we keep Christmas
is because our dear Saviour was born
on that day. l have read in the story
of the Bible, that the Jews we're SER
wants to the Romans, and they had to
obey whatever the emperor of Rome
commanded. He made a decree that
they should go to the cities where their
fathers had lived, and have their
names written down. So Mary and
Joseph went out of Nazareth where
their home was then, to Bethlehem
where David used to live, for they
were descended from King David.
When they came to Bethlehem there
was no room at the inn, so they went
into the stable to sleep. And while
they were there God gave to Mary the
son which the angel had promised her.
When the babe was eight days His
parents named him Jesus. On Christ
mas eve we hang up our stockings,
and have a Christmas tree, and on
Christmas day we go to church and
come home and have nice dinner.

Christmas comes but once a year
and that is on the twenty-ifth day Of
December. 1t is the festival Of the
Christian church, observed in the
memory of the birth of Christ and
celebrated by a particular church SER
vices. This festival includes twelve
days called Christmas tide. On Christ
mas eve nearly all of the little ones
hang up their stockings aud then go
to bed thinking with what pleasure
they will examine the many presents
Santa Claus will bring them. But
while we are enjoying all of the beauti-
full things Christ has been SO good to
provide us with we should not forget
the poor children who never knew of
Xmas or had a Christmas tree. 1t
seems to me as if feel much better on
Xmas to have given something to the
poor when I remember the saying "It
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
