Some time ago Mr.. Buckman made
the following statement regarding his
position on the U. s. senatorship
and bis words were printed in the
Banner: ''Cushman K. Davis is my
candidate tor q. 8. senator. Next to
President Mckinley, G. K. Davis is
the biggest man in the United States
to-day and be win be returned to the
senate with little OF no opposition.
i understand it has been reported
that I am opposed to Davis. This
lie q mistake. want to go on record
as saying that 1 am a Davis man.
If / am elected senator, and I expect
to be, he will have no more loyal
supporter in the legislature than my
SELF" In spite of this frank declara.
ton, Ful}er's henchmen are industri
ously peddling the silly falsehood
that Buchanan is opposed to Davis
How fitting to inausurate with mis-
representation a campaign that has
for its object the foisting upon a
long suffering public such an incubus
as W. NJ. Fuller.

A. Y. Merrill, ct Minneapolis, is a
candidate for the republican NOM
nation for attorney general. When
the influences which control that
party are considered, it would seem
hopeless that Mr.. Merrill be NOM
mated. Mr.. Merrill prepared the bill
to tax railroad lands, and is thor
oughly familiar with the railroad
taxation question. But the railroad
influence is very strong in the repub-
lican party, and certainly would not
permit Mr.. Merrlll's nomination. II

he would undoubtedly be the strong

DEAR AR: DOLLARS.
BY CHAs. A. ToWNlE.

You cannot have an exactly per.
feet and wholly equitable measure Of
value. At any rate, you cannot SO
long as you depend upon the acci,
dent Of discovery and natural sup.
ply. - - :==..:.. :,
The most that you can do is TO do
the best you can. We must be con.
tent with the nearest approach to a
perfect system which human wisdom
and human justice can devise. That
dollar, our gold standard friends tell
Us. is the best dollar which buys the
most. That dollar, they say, is the
best dollar which has the greatest
purchasing power.
Suppose, for example, that today
a dollar buys hundred pounds OF
-four. Tomorrow, let us say, the
stuff out of which dollars are made
has grown so scarce that now, in
order to do all the work ofexchanges
that is necessary to be done, each
dollar must exchange as against 200
pounds of -four. Then they say that
is a better dollar than the dollar OF
yesterday. An exchange is a recip-
rocal matter, remember. If a dollar
buys hundred weight of -four, a
hundred weight of -four buys a dol
lar.
lfyou say, then, that it is a better
dollar which buys two hundred
weight of -four than that which buys
one hundred weight of -four, it is pre-
cisely as though you said it is a bet
ter dollar which requires two hun
dredweight of -four to buy than that
which it requires one hundredweight
of -four to buy; all of which is most
excellent philosophy for the man
who has the dollar, but a mighty
ruinous theory to the man who has
the -four.
Now, the majority of mankind arc
makers and growers, or in some
necessary and proper capacity con.
nected with those who are makers
and growers of commodities and ar
ticles. 1t is a small minority that
are interested in money only.
I submit that if you must choose
between system for the few and fol
the many, between a system for thu
hoarders and one for the producers
justice and humanity declare for The
many and the producers.

81 The Little Falls baseball team

Cloud base ball team Sunday after.
noon at that city, and were left BY
! 9 score OF 18 to 9. The boys lay
their defeat mainly to the npire,
who they claim was exceedly unfair.
With those Cd 1s, and the further
fact that the boys were not all in
good physical condition, they ex.
plain the st. Cloud result. The Mas.
cots still think they can, with a fair
deal. wallop the st. Cloudites and
will try to get another game. The
st. Clond Times gives the following
report of the game: -.
The first base ball game of the season
came OF yesterday at the ball park when
an aggregation OF Little Falls players
ran up against our home team and got
''turned down.
The day was perfect and the two
teams were greeted with large and
enthusiastic crowd of rooters from the
cito who sat in the bleachers and yelled
Themselves hoarse whenever they got a
chance. The umpire called the game
promptly at three O'Clock with St. Cloud
at the bat. The game did not open we'll
for the home team as the first inning saw
two runs to the credit of Little Falls
aud only big round zero to tell what
st. Cloud could do.
From the second to the eighth inning
however the tables turned and every
thing went to the credit OF St. Cloud.
During the eighth the visitors got down
to business again and rolled up several
runs, the game closing in nine innings
with the score Is to 9 in favor OF tn.
home team.
As whole, the game lacked intere 81
for being quite one-sided. St. Cloud out
classed it's opponents in every particular
and won out easily. Some good work
was done by both teams. bnt the odds
were too much in favor OF the local team
and they had little difficulty in rolling
up good score.
Scanter at third and pitcher Thielm an
both did good work for the home team
and Lacher. catcher, saved several scores
by clever plays, The home team il
made up as the follows: Mike Scacte,

cannot do either neatly or with dis

put a quick quietus upon any meas.

corporation tax would have extorted
from the Standard Oil company, the

considerable contribution toward

senate united in opposition to it az
they have not been united on any

The French Revolution accomplished
nothing so bad. It is time to sink

the sacred rights OF property, for the

Hon. Dan w. Jones.

Gov. Jones has formally announced
his candidacy for re election. He will
have no opposition in the ranks of his
own party, and will receive its unani-
nous endorsement. A few men who
are never satisfied with the record of
any public official unless he consults
them especially with regard to his
policy have criticised his administra-
ton, but the most serious charge they
have been able to make against him is
that he has pardoned too many convicts
This charge has generally been made
without any attempt to show why
pardons should not have been issued
The truth is, no governor of Arkansas
in the past twenty years has escaped
criticism for exercising the pardoning
power. Some people have gotten so
accustomed to raising howl on this
score that they would feel they had
neglected cherished privilege did they
fail to lampoon the chief executive for
turning loose some poor convict who
had spent years within the walls Gov.
Jones has endeavored to make his
administration progressive one and to
bring about conditions that would
advance the material interests of the
state. 1t is not his fault that we have
not secured at least two new railroads
within the past year, and if the people
of the state had been as enthusiastic as
he in the legitimate encouragement of
such enterprises we feel confident the
prospects of securing such additional
enterprises would be brighter. Gov.

would derive from comprehensive
display of its resources in the shape of
