The passage Of the Nicaragua Canal
bill by the House of Representatives
during .the past week is another eyi-
lence of the progressive spirit of the
Republican party. Although this
measure has been before the country
for many years. it was not until the
Spanish American war that the coun-
try woke up to the real necessity Of
this water way to the wen being of the
nation. The Republican, party adopt
ed its construction us part OF its poli-
cy, and In keeping with It's fulfillment
Of other promises, the lower House OF
Representatives under Republican CON
troll has adopted the measure.
Aside from the benehcent features OF
this measure 30 the material interests
of this nation. the passage OF the bill Is
a demonstration OF the great difference
that exists between the Republican and
Democratic parties: the Republican
party is party Of action: it carries OUT
Its pledges. The Democratic party Is
a party OF negadou; 1t originates no
policy; It fails to carry out It's pledges
and simply occupies the position Of a
party in opposition
1t win be good reading this year for
the voters OF this nation 10 take the ma
tioRal platforms OF these two parties
for the year 1896, and contrast them,
both as to the predictions that werr
made and as 10 the tulnllment OF the
pledges they contain On this alone
the Republican party would he able to
carry the national election. and when
to this is added the history Of the past
three years. showing how faithfully
and ably the Republican party under
the leadership OF I's.si,lrut Mckinley,
has met and handled the various new
issues that have arisen. !, viii only
confirm what We have already stated,
that the Republican party IS the party
OF progress and deserves the merits
and confidence of the people Of this
state and OF this aatson.

a REPUBLICAN WAC DESERVES
HONOR

Frequent mention has b.aea matie of
late Of ,hc name ~ senator wolcJtt Ia
connection with the Republican vIer
presidential cansIihary. There Is no
doubt at ali thar the selection % he
Colorado senator would add srrpnzsh
20 the national ticket. He Is able and
popular. He remained true to his par
~ when many men ln his section wear
against II. He has friends In all po-
htieal sects Probably hla selection
would bring Colorado hack into the Re
publican line this year
The position of senator woleot, has
bs.en pecuIiarly dinicnlt during the pa-r
half dom years. As a representative
OF one OF the great silver states he was
naturally In favor of granting The
largest liberties 10 that metal. but he
never let his regard for silver blind
him to his duty which he owed to his
party in the country at large. Knowing
that the majority Of his party was In
favor OF the Establishment OF the gold
standard which the worlds civilization
was forcing 10 the front. he retained
his place in his party. fought the silver
battle within the party lines, and then.
when the tide went against him. he
cheerfuiiy accepted the inevitable.
Thus, unlike the senior senator from
his state, by returning his old aniiia.
tons be has continued TO he part Of
the dominant Influences Of the nation,
and has rendered lmmeasureabiy great
er service TO his state and community
that he would have done had he seced-
ed four years ago. and be, as Mr.. Tel
Ter is, man without a party. sena-
tor Wolcott deserves the reelection
which he viii undoubtedly receive

The enlargement of church at
Quincy. Mich. and It's recent rededi-
cation testify anew to the power one
person may exert in a community.
Thirty years ago Quincy was but a
hamlet, and the Presbyterian church
being reduced to single member. the
presbytery dissolved the church and
sent committee TO get the minutes.
Mrs Patter refused either TO give up
the minutes or TO be dissolved.
What the presbytery should do was
her piucky answer. is to send US a
minister" Her advice was taken. and
today the church IS happy, hopeful and
fourishing 1t lived simply because
one earnest Christian woman would
not let II die.

Strike the Kettle is not a romantic
name, but the old Indian who bore that
appe3lation was leader and a Chris
tian king among his people. For
many years Strike-the-Kettle was q
scout, protecting the United States
mail from hostile Indians. While on
this duty he was wounded in a fight
with his own people. A few years ago,
when the Dakota prairies were on FIRE,
the Indians Of the Standing Rock
Agency fought the flames for days.
When at last 1t was feared the whole
village would be swept away, a de-
voted missionary stood watching. with
wagon packed. ready to fee at the last
moment. In the darkness she saw
some one standing by her gate. 1t
was Strike-the-Kettle. Il can no
longer 6ght the fire. said the wound
ed old scout, but 1 will stay here,
winona. Go TO sleep and l will rouse
you In time" When the exhausted
woman finally woke, all danger was
over, but Strike-the-Kettle was still on
guard Is it strange that on Memorial
days Winona lays a wreath on the
grave of Strike-the-Kettle?
