Where the lee Grows Wild.


1 love the tinted gories of the flowers as
they smile
In the sun-defying meadow or the shady
forest aisle:
seek them once again,
In snug conservatory meath the air-tight
window pane.
But. dear as are their beauties, I would
fain forsake them all
When the mercury once docile, starts to
shake itself and crawl
I'd cease my cold-wave hoping-hoping but
to be beguiled-
And start for old Alaska, where the ice
grows Wild
Oh puny little prism. On my doorstep you
repose:
Where the iceman daily leaves you as along
the line he goes.
And you seem. when thirst is raging, and
call you to the drouth,
Like a snowflake in an oven, as / put you
in my mouth.
And l long to leave the flowers and their
sweetness to the bees;
To shun the treacherous breezes which go
signing through the trees;
To find the land Of plenty, where the cold
in chunks is piled,
To dwell in old Alaska, where the ice grows
wild.

government the very ark of repubicanism
in the orient. The evidence we refer to is
brought out in the trial of the men who
assassinated General Luna, Agunaldo's
second in command. They have been &C
quilted on the ground that Luna was en-
gagged in a plot to kill Aguinaldo and,
therefore. they, the murderers, who be-
longed to the guard at Aguinaldo's resi-
dence, were acting in "self-defense." A
people whose military leaders are thus
occupied in plots for mutual assassination
give the strongest possible proof of their
capacity for self-government and their
fidelity to the true principles of freedom,
order and justice. An ode to AgunaIdo
from Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison would
now be highly appropriate. unless he should
prefer to write one to the late lamented

Interesting Politics in Hawaii.

There are o two distinct parties in
Hawaii. Both agree in regarding them.
selves as American citizens, but with an
important difference.
One party of Americans in Hawaii
holds with Ex-Minister Hatch that sthe
islands are part and parcel of the United
States, that the process of annexation
extended the authority of the United
States Constitution over the inhabitants;
that the Constitution belongs to them,
and that no power on earth can deprive
them of their right to the Constitution.
The other party holds that at present
the fundamental law governing Hawaii
in its relations to the United States is the
Newlance resolution; that the Consti-
tuition of the United States does not yet
apply in all of its provisions to the affairs
of the islands; and the recent remarkable
decisions of the Hawaiian Supreme
Court, of which we h%ave1already spoken,
support this view of the case.
But behind the division on lines of
constitutional theory and juridical con-
v%enience, there is an equally distinct line
of partition which separates two conflict
ing manifestations of political spirit.
One party in Hawaii wishes to be
wholly American.
The other partywishes to be American
enough to get all the advantages which
the flag brings, and yet to remain Ha-
waiian enough to preserve all the local
advantages of the old system, and par.
ticularly to retain the offices.
With which party will American senti.
ment IN the mainland s%ympathize. P

A New YORK dispatch speaking
of the vast army of buyers that
havs.invaded the metropolis, says:
Great activity is reported in al
most every line. The center of
interest, however, is in woolens.
Never before was there such an
urgent and Legitimate demand for
spring and autumn-weight cloth
ing woolens. The supply is only
nominal and what gives the mar
ket for domestic goods its great
est strength is that the stocks of
imported goods which were
bought before the Dingley tariff
went into effect are exhausted
and no more can be imported and
sold at a profit in competition
with the makes of our own mills.
Mills have advanced prices of
staple sworsteds and wooden cas.
simeres. The volume of orders is
very large, but some lines of light
weight woolens have not yet been
opened, while usually by this time
the spring business is over"

The corn, millet and oat acreage is

John Mccarthy has IS acres of wheat
on the Tracey farm that he thinks will
yield 80 bushels to the acre. He figures
on an average yield of II bushels to the
acre which will give him about 10000.
]. M. Tracey estimates hat there will
be 10000 bushels of wheat marketed in
Taylor this season. This is 90 per cent
more than the crop of last year. But
this is not weolly due to the increased
yield; the acreage is much larger than
last pear. Of this 100000 bushels, about
7f.ooo will come from the south and Is

Who viii Be Our Next President?

Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900, but the
war has 80 overshadowed all other mat
tiers that politics is almost unnoticed.
Many people are of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1896,
but there may be a ozark horse" who will
win the race. Popularity has much to do
with candidatea. This is also true with
medicine. The most popular remedy to-
day is Hostetter's Stomach Bttters, and
it has retained this for many years. Sci
ence eve discovered the equal of this
medicine for stomach, liver and kidney
diseases. 1t builds up solid flesh tissue,
imparts vigor and vitality to all organs,
and makes life worth living. A bottle

In this connection the Forum

legal adviser does not take any
notice of the matter; therefore it
is presumed that Mr.. Cowan will
get called to account, the railroad
officials being hot because he act

raise of their assessment. This
may make interesting reading for
some of the papers, but the rail-
roads are not in the business of

Loss of Western Horses.

A shipment of 500 horses from Wash
ington was unloaded at Omaha last week.
They had had no water since leaving
Spokane thirty hours previously. They
were at once given hay and water which
run in troughs. Soon after feeding and
drinking the horses began to 60 into spa
SIMS and many died.+ They have been
dying ever since; about half the ship
ment are dead and it is feared they will
all die. 1t was not noticed that the
horses were securing when they came in
and no one there seems able to solve the
mystery. The stomachs of several have
been saved for analysis by experts.
They were a fine lot. The neighborhood
of the stockyards looks like a hard fought
battlefield.
A dispatch to the Helena Independent
from Billings says that Paul Bros. of
North Yakima, WASH, arrived here with
a train load of $50 horses en- route to
South Omaha, and unloaded in the North
ern Pacific stock yards for feed and wa
ter. 1t was noticed at once that the
horses were not we'll, many being physic-
ked and showing signs Of cramping, and
in a short time they commenced dying
by the dozens. Everything possible was
done for the animals but at six O'Clock
this evening over 'I25 had died.
The disease is a mystery to every one
here and the owners cannot account for
it unless it was caused by the water o.
feed at Spokane, where they were las,
unloaded. Messrs. Paul say that during
a previous shipment they lost nearly loc
at Missoula, the horses being affected ex.
actly the same as at this time. The
stomachs of some of the dead horses
have been sent to Omaha for analysis
