IT is amusing to note how the for
revenue-only alleged silver politicians
are now preaching in silver commun-
tiles that sthe cause of silves goes
hand inland with the expansion the
Dry. It would, perhaps, not be the
first time that reform cause had been
decoyed to it's own destruction, but
from all appearances the imperialists
will have bad shedding among bimet-
allists. The vital essence of the sill
YER issue as an issue lies in the fact
that it stands for absolute independ-
ence of2this country from all foreign
domination. It is hard to realize how
any coi&mon ground can be found
upon which silver and expansion can
thrive together: On the very face of
it, the TWP theories are Numerically
opposedato each other.

THE CRUCIAL TEST.

It is true that the statesman whose
honesty of purpose and mind leads
him to express his views on matters
of Importance as he sees them and
without regard to the narrow limits
laid out by the moulders of the poll
cies Of parties, soon finds himself out
of a job, and the positions for which
his ambition reaches out he sees at
tanned by the policy man whose con-
victions are more elastic, and who is
ever ready to ride any wave which
gives promise Of landing him in a
high place.
The, history of our country gives a
number of instances which prove the
truth OF the above assertion. The
man who dares to formulate an opin-
ion aud publicly express and defend
it, stands little chance of being recog-
nized by the party machines, whose
sole desires are to formulate a pro-
gram which will antagonize as few as
possible. If the latter think atnajor-
ity of voters will favor the. wrong,
they do not hesitate to turn down
the right.
In 1895 a popular uprising defeated
the machine in the democratic party
and nominated Bryan. True to the
instincts of an =, honest statesman, ::
Bryan does not now lose an opportu-
nifty to express his opinions on new
issues in no uncertain manner. What
effect this will have upon the chances
Of his denomination remains to be
seen.
The money power was taken by
surprise at his first nomination, but
he will never head another national
ticket if they can prevent it. Bryan's
denomination means his election, and
none know it better than the members
of the trust hierarchy. No amount of
money nor effort will be spared to
bring about dissension and to fan
jealousy inside the ranks Of the DEM
ocratic party to the end of bringing
about his defeat. The struggle inside
of that party in 1900 will be a great
one. 1t will be- "a crucial test Of pop
ular government.

place the resources of the nation be-
hind the flag as it did from 1861 to
1865. That object lesson cannot be

A VOICE FROM CANADA.

The Canadian newspapers are be-
coming apprehensive: that the next
bite of the rapacious expansionist
nav will include Canada. On the.
presidents southern trip General Jim
Wilson made speech in which. he
said that before the close of President
McKinley's ''next term'' the United
States flag would float from the North
Pole to the Gulf, including Central
America. The appetite of the i'm
perialists has just become >whetted by
the mouthful they are now masticat-
ing. Commenting on the situation

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES. -
From Breckenridge Telegram:
The old adage of tricks in all
trades" holds good at the present d. y.
Certain of the medical fraternity in
du|ge in it somewhat. We have heard
Of some who change simple fever in
to typhoid, or a heavy cold on the
lungs into pneumonia, so that the re-
covery may seem wonderful and add
to their skill (?). It is quackery, but
it goes with the unthinking.
THE BULWARK OF CORPORATIONS.
From Fergus Globe:
Suppose the republicans in the leg
islature should become gay and pass
some really good laws just for the fun
of it and Governor Lind should sur
prise them by approving the laws,
wouldn't the Supreme Court have a
high old time Of it multiplying the laws
in the interest of the corporations?

'HOGWASH TO THE SOLDIERS,''
From Moorhead News:
The evidence of General Miles and
long list of general and regimental
officers clearly proves that the canned
meat supplied to the army during the
Santiago campaign was unfit for food.
The officers characterize it as refuse,
scraps, tajlings, stringy, putrid, naus-
eating, insipid, watery, Shiny and in
nutritive 1t is charged by them that
the meat had been boiled and soup ex-
tracts made of it before it was canned
It is an awful shame that rich coun-
try like ours should furnish such hog
wash to its soldiers. There is fear
full possibility to be placed some
where for this outrage, and let the
blame fall and the punishment be ex-
acted without fear, favor Or miscar-
riage of justice.
The local papers Of the state ought
to be much obliged to Eric Olson for
stating at the Farmers Alliance meet

The Worlds Railway.

4 census of the worlds railways re- gently compiled gives the following figures; In Europe the miles operated have risen in four years from Al ,552 to 155, ,284; in Asia from 22,025 to 26,- 800; in Africa from 6,522 to 8.169; in American from PIP, ,724 to 299. .722, and in Australia from F, 1922 to 13,888, mak- ing a total for the world of 433,953 against 395. .143 four years ago. These figures show that Africa made the greatest proportionate advance, that continents gain being over 25 per cent, against per cent in Europe, p per cent in Asia, 8 per cent in America, 1215 per cent in Australia, and nearly 10 per cent for the entire world. The length of the worlds railways in 1895 of 433,95 miles is more than seven teen times the circumference of the earth at the equator. The North Amer ican continent has a greater mileage than the rest of the world combined.

LETTER BOXES.
Which Deliver Messages and Cards oo
 Upper Floors.


 h. several of the new apartment houses in Paris an ingenious invention has been placed. which is of such prac- tical. common sense value that it might be introduced with profit in this country. where any saving of time and labor appeals so strongly to modern American ideas The patent in ques= ton is an automatically moving letter box fer the reception of letters ad- dressed to a tenant In the vestibule of the house are placed just as many of these letter boxes as there are ten ants in the building. In general ap- peara2ce there is little difference be tween the group of boxes and those to be seen in the yestibule of any flat house in this country Instead, how ever, e retaining the letters, cards, etc. until a servant descends to get them, or the tenant opens the box on entering or leaving his house, the Paris invention performs it's work promptly by delivering it's contents to the person for whom they are intend- ed. Thus, when the postman on his rounds has a letter for Mir. So=and=So. he deposits it in the box bearing that gentleman's name. The missiYe opens a lever at the bottom of the box, which thereupon moves upward until it comes to Mir. So-and-so's apartment. Then, by a co-relative mechanism, the contents of the box are emptied into a receptacle in the hall of the apart ment, and a bell is rung automatically to notify the servants that letter has come. Its duty done, the box de- scends again to take it's place with those Of the other tenants in the yes tibule, And not only a letter alone, but even visiting card dropped into the box will speed it on it's upward errand, so light is the weight required to operate this practical mechanism.

And Retention of Philip

Washington, Dec. 5.-The presidents
message was read to both houses of
congress today, and is very long. At
the outset a touching allusiOn is made
to the death of Vice President Hobart,
whose great soul now rests in eternal
peace" Continuing the president notes
that the country is in condition of
unusual prosperity, of universal good
will among the people at home, and in
relations of peace and friendship with
every government of the world. Our
foreign commerce has shown great in
crease in volume and value. The COM
bined imports and exports for the
year are the largest ever shown by a
single year in all our history. Our eX-
ports for 1899 alone exceeded by more
than billion dollars our imports and
exports combined in 1870. The imports
per capita are twenty per cent. less
than in 1870, while the exports per
capita are So per cent. more than in
1870, showing the enlarged capacity of
the United States to satisfy the wants
of its own increasing population, as
we'll as to contribute to those of
the peoples of other nations
Exports Of agricultural products were
1874, 776,142. Of manufactured products
