The Minnesota Senatorship.

Although the contest is not till an
other year, the question of success
or to Knute Nelson is already being
widely discussed and some difference
of opinion expressed as to the pro-
liability of opposition within the re-
publican party. The state has not in
the past been very loyal to its first
term senators, but the advantages
gained by continuing Senator Davis
at Washington till he had climbed to
the top of the heap, although he did
not greatly distinguish himself till
far into his second term, has consid-
erably modified Minnesota sentiment.
We think, therefore, that Senator
Nelson will be reelected without Sc
rious opposition in his own party.
He has had long experience in public
life which is invaluable to him as a
legislator, while as worker for state
interests he is constant and tireless.
Surely no one outside of Minneapolis
would ask the honor, and there the
movers would have to leave the field
of experienced public men and bring
out candidate with a barrel, though
not necessarily in the Touring bust
ness. Such action just at this time
when great combinations of wealth
are forming would hurt the party and
prove unwise in many ways. Better
counsel will prevail. -Bede's Budget.

The Tables Turned.

Birds, we know, are sometimes train
ed to fire off pistols, as we'll as to per-
form other unusual feats, but it is not
often that a wild bird in the woods
shoots a man with his own gun, as re.
lated In "South American Sketches
by Robert Crawford.
A pavo del monte, a bird Of Uruguay
not unlike the turkey, had been winged
by hunter. It fell to the ground, but
was at once on its feet and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside, the
hunter started in pursuit, and game
of hide and seek ensued.
III one Of it's doublings and turnings
the bird passed over the gun, which
was lying on the ground. and it's foot

had been left at full cock.
There was loud report, followed by
an exclamation of pain from the man.
The bird escaped, and the luckless
hunter had an ugly wound in the heshy
part of his leg to remind him for weekf
afterward Of the adventure.

NEVER before in the history of this
country has there been such a de-
mand for the products of American
manufacture as at the present time.
There are increases of wages and adj
ditions to manufacturing plants re-
ported daily. The prices paid for
labor are going up, and the prices
of products are advancing according
ly. This means that there is such a
demand for new inventions, as never
before. Manufacturers are looking
about for new fields of enterprise and
investment. Disposing of goods has
ceased to be problem. The 1nven-
tor who now takes time by the fore
lock and puts upon the market the
product of his brain is very likely to
find purchaser. Record.

Ex-SENAToR WAsHBuRN returns
from the East deeply impressed with
the idea that the trust craze is going
to bring disaster in the commercial
and financial world. It certainly
would seem as if investors were slow
to learn the lessons of experience.
We have just come out of a period of
depression where many kinds of stock
investments shrunk to almost moth
ing, entailing tremendous losses up
on holders. But within two years
from the time recovery begins invest
ors are crazy again over kinds of in
vestment which should be regarded
with suspicion at any time, and
which, in the light of their expert
ence, should be approached with
even more than ordinary caution.
And yet millions are obtained for
such investments where thousands
cannot be secured for such safe ven
lures as are afforded by the real es-
tate market in the prosperous and
growing West minneapolis Journal.

The great Peace conference con-
voked by the car OF Russia has COM
menced it's sittings at the Hague
Let us hope that the world has ad-
vanced far enough in civilization to
realize some practical results from
this gathering. The maintenance Of
heavy armament is getting to be too
much of a burden upon the people,
especially in the European countries,
and the pace that is set by one ma
ton must be kept up by all the 9th
ers. These vast sums spent annual
ly for military purposes could be
more wisely spent in promoting the
happiness OF the people. AS the poet
says:
''Were half the wealth bestowed on camps, and
courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from error,
There were no need of arsenals and forts.

American Labor-Saving Machinery

American Labor-Saving Machinery.
The Commissioner of Patents ex-
presses an opinion that labor-saving
machinery is the main factor in en-
abling America to compete so success
fully with countries paying lower
wages in its industrial work. Labor
saving machinery has HERETOFORE given
this country advantage in its work
of manufacture, but foreigners are
beginning to recognize the value of
American machinery. They are now
alert to purchase any piece of new
machinery which is likely to aid them
in the industrial struggle. In that
way the advantage of American man
ufacturers is lost to a certain extent.
On the other hand the market for
labor-saving machinery is very i'm
portant, and America will be called
upon for some time to come to fur
nish new and practical inventive
ideas to the world. There is one
field which is destined to remain per-
manently open-the field Of American
invention.-Patent Record.

His horse was white, and as he rode
often with prey slung to the saddle, the

EDITOR SHEAF:
Mrs. O. P. Dyrud died last Satur-
day, May 13, leaving her husband
and three small children to mourn
her loss. She has been sick since last
winter. The funeral took place
Tuesday, May 16. Though the
weather was very cold there was yet
a very large attendance at her fun
eral.
There has been plenty OF rain and
snow this spring, making poor roads
and late seeding. But now for few
days the weather has been fair and
the roads will soon be good.
Seeding is almost done now, and
some farmers are already making
their usual trips to town after seed

ACCORDING to the Minneapolis
Journal, the farmers along Red river
are organizing a steamboat line for
the transportation OF grain on the
river in competition with the rail-
roads. The Great Northern has had
a steamer on the river for a number
OF years, the hauling of grain in the
fall being the principal business.
The farmers propose to have some
of the profits of this business them
selves.

THE MAGIC LAMP.

Meath q moonlit sky in the days gone b..
As the hallads of old relate,
When lad was bold and his lady shy
He would wait at the postern gate.
For she feared as he strummed her drows
lay
He would waken the sire that slept:
So she fastened her easement, hid in epray.
And out to the postern crept.
Now, know not that postern gate Of yore,
see not the easements light,
But I've watched with the crowd at the ding
&. door
That leads to a stage bedight.
The hoofs Of the managers horses stamp,
For they long for the great mans "Home! Z
While the others must wait by the Rutterin
lamp
Like the poor at the gates Of Rome.
The fairy who danced in the spangled dress
Must change, for the night winds cold,
Though fear me she loses her comeliness
In her overcoat warmly rolled. 90.
It's sometimes mother that waits this same
Great goddess who charmed the shrine,
And you hear with q shudder her Christia,
name
Pronounced as "Matildar Jine.'
And it's sometimes youth with big cigar
And hat at an evil rake.
It's youth who is feared by Matilda q ssmar ::
Hence she comes for Matilda's sake
He is dressed in q vast Newmarket "sack, u
Where the scanning is overlaid.
And the goddess Familiarity calls him "Jack !;
For she isn't a bit afraid.
And it's sometimes dear little gallery boy
Who dreams in his dizzy heights.
It would be the hope of his highest joy
To speak to the girl in tights.
But the painted curtain falls, alas.
And the dancers fade from view,
So he waits in the glare of the stage door gas
To watch till his girl comes through.

Little Rock, as usual, will send large delegation; Pine Bluff may not be "so many" but then "she'll be warm, The gentlemen heading the affair will endeavor to take with them some one or more--cake walkers from Pine Bluff, those that can do their "winnlng in walk.
