fishes there were several baskets

number of visitors from other
posts present, and judging from
the laughter that could be heard
from all sides they evidently en-
iyoed themselves.

The coffee war between the Ar
buckles and Havemeyers has broken
out anew, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. The war is not expected to
last very long, but the public will get
the benefit of cheaper coffee for a
while When the trusts get to war
ne, the little benefits in the way OF
cheaper goods are accepted by the
people much as the crumbs from the
rich mans table were accepted by
Lazarus; not an enviable position to
be in to be sure but one we are now
filling to our detriment.

Mr.. EDITOR: viii you kindly give
space in your valuable paper to the
Central W. G. t. u. of ST. Paul, who
desire to thank the ladies Of River
Falls for their very successful effort
in furnishing the Central Union of
St. Paul with more than three thou
sand bouquets of flowers, with script
ure text attached, to distribute in the
various hospitals of our city. We
fully appreciate the labor involved in
this work, and yet it was labor of
love, and / am sure if those all con-
nected with the effort could have seen
the frightening of the eye Of the dear
patient, felt the hand-grasp and
heard the God bless you's, they would
feel more than repaid. To all who had
a hand in this blessed work, and to
the r. r. employees who so generously
carried the flowers to St. Paul, we
tender our sincere thanks.
MRS. SUSIE V, Root,

big corporations, such as the Tele-
graph Companies, the Express Com
panies and the Sleeping Car Com
panies of the state, do not share in
this little contribution to the main
tenance of the government. It
should also be remembered that the
men sent to Madison year ago, or
some of them at least, to enact just
and equablo laws for the people,
carried various free telegraph and
express franks in their pockets, and
enjoyed the luxuries OF free sleeping car
privileges, etc, etc. Now if there is
any connection between this and the
exemption OF these same corpora
tions from taxation, then it might be
in order for the farmers, who are now
compelled to shoulder not only their
own burden OF taxes but that Of these
festive corporations, to practice a
similar course next fall, and give
these legislators, who do not allow
free transportation, free telegraph
and express franks and free sleeping
car privileges, etc, ETC., to influence
the votes, a free sack of wheat or a
free load of hay, and perhaps they in
turn might be treated as literally as
these corporations by being exempt
ed from taxation.

After long interview this week
with President Mckinley Senator
Chandler said: The president stands
firmly in favor of international
bimetallism as promised by the St.
Louis platform. He considers the
negotiations with the European pow
ers only temporarily suspended on
account of the peculiar condition OF
affairs in India and the presidents in
tention to again send his ENJOYS to
Europe as soon as the conditions are
favorable for continuing negotiations.
This Will throw the rank and file
of the Republican Party into conster-
nation, but should President Nc
Kinley, by any chance, succeed IN
establishing international bi-metal-
lism it would leave the Democratic
party without an issue for its 1900
campaign.

There is growing sentiment in
this country favoring the election of
United States senator's by popular
vote. The present constitutional
provision for the election of members
of the upper house was no doubt
borrowed from the English and was
intended to raise the Senate to the
dignity of the House of Lords. But
conditions are changing; hence the
growing sentiment to abolish the old
aristocratical way as provided in
the constitution and substitute q
new method whereby Senators, like
other officials, may be chosen
directly by the people. If any cause
more than another has contributed
to the Fastening on of the time when
this change should be made it is the
disgraceful scene which took place
last week at Columbus, Ohio, IN the
reelection of Senator Hanna. This
election is considered by both Rep
publicans and Democrats as an event
which will 60 down in history as
national disgrace. Politics in this
country is fast assuming the form
of two gigantic trusts backed by
millions of dollars or either side
whose methods of ware-fare are con-
trary to every rule of fairness or
honor. Therefore every precaution
should be taken to place the election
of officers as near the people as
possible.

Paris, desired q public trial for Majol
Esterhazy, but General Billott, minister
Of war, ordered the trial to be secret
Nevertheless, the witness added, the court
martial refused TO keep the proce edings
secret, therefore II was impossible TO con
tend that Major Esterhaxy was acquitted
by order Of the authorities.
On General Pellieux leaving the stand
NJ. Zola said: There are several ways o
serving France. You, general. made youl
campaigns, but I will bequeath to poster
