Mayor Ramsdell is again mayor Of

F" oSoiI 'AdyOI VI
Lynn.
Two years ago he was elected by the
combined peoples party. democratic and
citizens reform party. He was again
nominated by reclamation by the demo-
Gratis to succeed himself as mayor of.the
busy modern city, and was again elected
by a rousing majority last month.
Mayor R%amsdell's present high posi-
ton is the legitimate reward of his abil-
ity and his fearlessness in defending his
opinions. He has never hesitated to
declare his convictions in public, nor
has he been slow to espouse the, cause
of the shoemakers and other wage
Farmers In 1894 he was candidate Of
the peoples party for congress-. A hard
worker, 2 conscientious official, Mayor
Ramsdell has more than once been
pushed TO the limit of his strength. At
such times of extreme nervous TENSION
and overwork, he has saved himself from
breaking down by taking Paine's celery
compound.
Mayor Ramsdell's honest opinion of
this great remedy cannot be mistaken
by any one who reads his letter that
follows:

the frigate Constitution lost but sever
killed, seven wounded and the disman
tied British ship, but seventy nine killed
and wounded, though their crews were
as large Is that of the Maine. The
Constitution lost in the action with the
Java nine killed and twenty five
wounded. and the Java's casualties
sixty killed and 1O1 wounded. The
combined fatalities on both sides in
these famous seatigh s were far fewer
than in the case of the Maine, a new
ship that sunk at the touch of a mod.
ern explosive. AS far as land operations
are concerned the United States in war
| with Spain would need only to properly
prepare itself to insure success. In
numbers, and in nearness to
the territory that wonld be first in dis
pute, u advantage is clear. In Cuba
our troops would have the cooperation
of the insurgents, now a large force of
trained veterans, perfectly familiar with
the county and tie best methods of
scouting and diminishing. Our troops
would be sure to accomplish their OBJ
ject if not hurried into action indis-
creetly. The sentiment of our people
insures a quick response to a call for
volunteers, and in six months the Amer
lean volunteer is a soldier. Upon the
sea the war would be less one-sided, and
chiefly for the reason that little is
known concerning the weak spots of the
great floating steel fortresses, marvels
of complex construction, ponderous yet
d%elicately adjusted, that constitute a
navy in these times. We have some adj
vantage of Spain in armored ships and
in weight of guns, but not in torpedo
craft. And the conclusiveness of one
torpedo, or high explosive, is illustrated
in the rate of the Maine. Armed Span
ish vessels could prey upon our COM
merce, and it is possible that some of
strongest ships could force their
way into N of our harbors. But the
lesson of the Maine will make the Span
ish commanders of heavy ships wary of
operations near land. Spanish battle
ships and cruisers are no less vulnerable
than our own. One undetermined
quantity is the treacherous nature of
warfare in an age of dynamite.
Spain would not be an insignificant
but n requiring extreme vigil
lance. The Spaniard is not lacking in
courage, in spite of his feline stealth
and natural cruelty when his passions
are aroused. War with Spain would
be no holiday. But the claims of this
country are founded in justice, and to
abandon them at a threat of war would
discredit our history and the genius of
our people.

IT seems to be the impression that the
wheat supply in North Dakota, owned
by farmers, at this time will be no more
than enough, if enough, for seed. Chair
man Reyes of the railroad commission
was interviewed at st. Paul relative to
this matter and said: II am a bull in
wheat, I have been one right along, and
l am now more convinced than ever
that prices are going higher. There is
practically no wheat left in the farmers
hands in my section, and I hear the
same reports from other sections of the
state. In Pembina county, I am told,
the farmers have sold their stocks so
short they will not have enough left for
seed. 1 sent into the northern part of
the state a while ago to get a car of seed
for my own use and I haven't been able
to get it. I think it will be found that
the farmers very generally over the state
have not more than enough on hand to
seed their land this spring. Unless
there is a scarcity of seed 1 look for an
increased wheat acreage in North Da-
kota this season."

From the Fargo Forums frequent
observations as to what Judge Amidon
will and will not do, it looks either as
though the Forum was next to the
judge or, as Caesar said, "people are apt
to believe those things SO which they
to be so" At any rate, if the Forum
would wait until the judge decided his
own cases-it might not have SO much
to explain in case anything should go
wrong.

those who publish weekly newspapers
appear to have been studlousIy over
looked and ignored in their delibera.
tions. Their principal desire appears tc
have been to eliminate an annual deficit
of some s8,OO0,OO0 rather than to main.
tain for the peoplea first-class service.
1t is easy enough for Mr.. Loud to dc
away with the postal deficit without
undertaking to saddle in onto the pub.
fishers of the country.
l. Let him add a clause to his bill
compelling railroads and steamship
lines 10 transport mail matter at the
same rates paid by the express compan.
les for similar service, instead of charg-
ing twice as much as at present. Such
a Just provision will not only do away
with the postal deficit, but will enable
the department TO show, at the end of
the year, a handsome surplus.
q. Let the growing abuse of the
ranking privilege be brought within
reasonable limits. Not only do the
great departments Of the government, as
well as congress, send their thousands
OF tons of mail matter free of charge,
but it is a we'll known fact that, during
the last national campaign the tre-
mendous weight of campaign documents
distributed through the country by the
national and state committees of the
various political parties was nearly all
carried free under congressional frank.
l do not complain of this. 1t is emil
nently proper that the cause of popular
education should be given liberal OPP
portunities and advantages, especially
when the great questions of public
policy are about to be passed upon at
the polls. I do insist, however, that the
people of this country who have received
the benefits of such a distribution of
documents may reasonably be asked to
pay for them. 1t is neither honest nor
just to attribute the entire postal deficit
thus occasioned to the publications of
the country which are mailed as second
class matter, and to demand that they
alone should be held to pay for it.
/ am convinced that whatever indif-
ference to the serious menace of this
bal, may have existed hitherto among
publishers, has been entirely due to un-
familiarity with it's scope apd purpose.
Mr.. Loud has declared the free county
distribution of weekly newspapers to be
an evil. When asked why he did not
prohibit it in his bill, his answer has
oeen we cannot do everything at
once" Indicating his belief that the
present bill, if it succeeds in securing a
passage. will only be an entering wedge
to a further and more radical invasion
of the present rights of publishers.
Good lawyers who have carefully ex-
amined the present Loud bill express
the opinion that, under the provisions of
4, the publisher at jhe expiration
of the time for which a subscription has
has been paid, would be compelled to
put a cent stamp upon every copy sent
to that address thereof err. This con-
struction of the bill would ruin half the
publishers in the country.

Produce.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE opening trades In
wheat showed an advance of about &c
for both December and May. December,
which closed Saturday at 651sc, started to-
day at e6Ad66isc. while May opened at
66lsd hxAc. These prices prevailed for
some little time. Nearly 100000 bushels OF
wheat were taken here for export late
Saturday. and an additional 1900 bushels
were reported sold early to-day for the
same purpose. The fact that contract
stocks here were less than s0o. 900 bushels
made local shorts. especially In Deem
Der. rather anxious. and the trading.
which for some time has been exceed
ingly duh. became very active in conse-
quence. To add to the uneasiness. there
was continued talk to the effect that De-
cember wheat had been considerably
oversold at the seaboard. wi,i rumors OF
a possible squeeze.
Liverpool was strong and up Hd1kd,
and this had some effect on trading. but
not so much as II would had II not been
that Liverpool was almost alone in the
foreign strength. The visible increase
was 2. 1s4,000 bushels, and this was a fac
tor in the reaction that took place after
the first hours trading. There was a good
profits. and holders OF calls sold against
them. This relieved the pressure. May cas-
ing of to 66hc and December to the same
price. The latter month was too much in
demand for any permanent downward
movement, however. Renewed buying by
shorts soon started the price toward a
higher level and for n time December
sold at %ntsc premium over May. The
market became very strong toward the
close. December gained Nd1c and May
rose &c.
Corn was slow with a narrow range OF
prices and closed with but little change.
The market was barely steady consider
ing the higher cables. the strength of
wheat and a good export demand.
Oats were firm at a little over Satur-
days figures. The market was quite dull
most ~ 80 "~e though there was SOM
influential selling. which was well taken
care OF. The cash demand was good. The
strength of wheat was the main fac
tor.
Provisions were dull and heavy. Both
cash and speculative demands were linn
tied. and as there was some selling pres
sure. chiefly from packers. prices yielded
a little.
Hog prices were lower. At the close
January pork was sc lower. January lard
7Izc lower and January ribs sc lower.

The convent walls doomed black against

And slowly. in the drear October gloom.
I saw the monks go strolling one by one.
With fingers bead-entwined and habits
Through the gay garden in the after
noon.
There. shivering in its windy. growing
place,
Like the pale ghost Of some forgotten
spring.
A yellow rose raised its pathetic face.
Last Of its sun-nlled. perfume-shedding
race.
As one belated in his travelling.
And. as the vesper bells began to ring.
/ saw a monk. the youngest OF them all.
Pause suddenly before the dropping thing
And bend above IL as one worshiping.
His youthful forehead on the lichened
wall.
Perchance there came a sudden memory
OF one who. sometimes In a dainty hand.
Swung such a thing as this for him to
see,
Where purple twilight flooded hill and
lea
In the green closes OF an alien land.
