ELECT A SENATOR

AS this is a government by the peo-
pie, the people must now select and
elect a person to serve as Senator in
the place of Mr.. Schmidt, resigned.
Tt is to be assumed that the people
know what kind of person will prop
erly represent them, and will desig-
nate the right man. 1t is the theory
or practise of a class Of politicians TO
instruct the people, and treat them
as if they are quite incapable or nav
ing any minds of their own, and OF
designating persons who should rep
resent them The "masheen" was in
aroduced for this purpose, and is very
effective in supplying the sovereign
people with ideas. The theory of our
government is, however, that OF self
rule. Will the people not meet and
agree upon, and elect some person who
will fill the vacant Senatorial office?

of the preaching, and lecturing, and
the publication of narrowing literature
ON the evils of drink. Secure for every
man a home, and you create condi-
ton which will create to a large ex-
tent, barrier against the aggressions
of the rum bottle. If the temperance
reformers will so fix it that every
man who deserves it shall have land
enough for home, and will prevent
such a holding of Gods earth by
few persons, they will make the dis
tillation of whiskey rather unprofit-
able.
1t is indeed humiliating that one of
the best illustrations of the proper
method Of advancing the cause of tenn
perance should come from the detest-
able art of war, while an army of
philanthropists continue to move in

GEN. WESTINGHOUSE NEUTRALITY

President Dole, after he has read
American history of the year 1893, will
hardly expect to escape violent attacks
from the professional politicians who
want his Office.
Curiousiy enough the matter of neu-
trality in the war between England
and France was the occasion of the
fierce attacks upon Gen. Washington by
the political ancestors of the Only Can
didate.
A largo number of the American peo-
pie advocated in 1893 an alliance be-
tween France and the United States in
the pending war. President Washing
ton issued proclamation of neutral
ity. This act called out the vitupera-
tive power Of those who We're opposed
to it. Sparks, in his Life of Washing
ton, says:
washington, for time, was allowed
to keep alOof from the contest. HIS
character, revered by the people, shield
ed by their affection, and equally above
reproach and suspicion, was too ele-
waited a. mark for the shafts of mall
w
when the sacredness of virtue, and the
services of a life spent in promoting
the public veal, could no longer secure
him from the assaults of party animOs-
ity. The enemies of the adminiStra-
ton perceived that the attempt to eX-
ecute their plans would be in vain,
unless they could first weaken his in
fluence by diminishing his popularity.
ut (thiS ungrateful wOrk) was pur-
sued with a perseverance, and some
times with an acrimony, for which the
best of causes could hardly afford an
apology"
known here as the Sewallaniacs, called
Washington coward and a trait
or" Henry Lee, in a letter to Wash
ingtOn, written in 1898, said:
There are in all societies, at all
times, a set of men anxious for change
in the political machine, and fond OF
confusion. This class of men receive
the aid OF the wicked and abandoned
of every description and therefore in
free countries are considered more
numerous than they really are, because
they are noisy, clamorous, and i'm
prudent"
If Washington was subjected to such
attacks, Mr.. Dole. who does not claim
to be his peer in virtues, and deeds,
need not for a moment feel that he has
any privilege of exemption from SIM
liar attacks

KITCHENER'S TEETOTALERS.

The advocates of total abstinence
should be delighted over the regula-
tions of the British war department
On the matter of the use of alcohol. A
brief account of them appears in an
other column. Lord Kitchener's SUI
perb victories in the Soudan were won
by an army of teetotalers.
The advocates of total abstinence
must not, however, forget that the
reason why it was possible to conduct
a dry" military campaign is that Lord
Kitchener had the sense and the abili-
ty to create the proper condition for
enforcing this rule. The army was am
ply supplied with all the material that
human ingenuity could devise to keep
every soldier in the best physical con-
and clothing, and properly cared for

preaching the prosaic arguments of
the evils of intemperance, the British
war Office acted upon the injury arts
ing from the greater evil of bad by

conditions, it did not issue million of
pamphlets on the subject, but removed
these conditions or prevented their
existence. 1t was doing and not talk
ing.
When the action of the British war
department is followed by the social
reformers, and the conditions Of So
ciety are gradually changed, so that
wretchedness and poverty and despair
is not the lot of large portion of the
population, especially in the cities, the
saloon question will be easily disposed
of.
1t is said that the proposition TO give
Industrious and sober workingmen an
old age pension upon reaching their
sixtieth year of age, will do more for
the cause of total abstinence than all

1t is unique that in this country of

PURE
WATER.

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-
low. City water is not good for many
reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.

DUE:

Ask your family physician about the
dorse it's use.
All who have drank the water speak
in the highest of terms for it.
This climate demands the use of
such a water and you cannot afford to
be without it.
