during the parade Il few nights ago.
Tennis, up to recently, was employed
in a clothing store ON Park avenue.

Alleged New Emperor of China is a
Stranger.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The Chinese
minister has not returned today from his
trip to Mount Clare, N. j., and the Off
cials of the Chinese legation had re-
ceived no Information concerning the re-
ported selection of a new emperor. nor
of the reply said to have been made by
the Chinese ENJOYS on the demands of
the powers. The state department is
of clnperurs, and in view of the silence
of the ministers, the report is received
with considerable skepticism. The Chi
nese officials are unacquainted with the
lineage of the youth said to have been
chosen by the empress dowager for the
throne.

A PIPE DREAM.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer sees a
chance for the democrats to save the
state this fall. 1t is a small chance
but the Plaindealer's eyes are good.
1t has discovered that all this talk
about Mckinley prosperity is rant.
The prosperous condition of the coun-
try is all a delusion. We are not
prosperous at all. We are indulging
in a pipe dream, according to the
P%laindealer. We think we are eating
three times a day but it is all a mis-
take. We are living on hand outs
from free lunch counters and free SCUM
houses but we do not know it. That
is to say, none of us know it but the
Plaindealer. We think we are wear
ing %broadcloth but we are wearing old
overalls and flannel shirts. Some
body has hypnotized us into believing
we had a good crop last year, and that
the immigration to the state was
larger this year than ever before. We
have been mesmerized into believing
that cattle are higher than for years
n that we are getting a good price
for Il wool. 1t is all wrong. The
Plaindealer knows it is. We are half
starved and half naked but we don't
realize it. We are locoed by the as
tute republican campaign managers.
They have woven a spell about us and
made us believe our stomachs were
full, when as a matter of fact we
haven't had a square meal since Grover
Cleveland was president. It is for
tunate for us that we have a few
prophets like the Plaindealer left, that,
when we are soaring in the clouds of
delusion, on the way to an imaginary
paradise, we may be called to a real
ization of II true state.
Why" says the Plaindealer grand
ly, "why should not the democrats of
North Dakota determine, as the demo-
Gratis Of other states are doing, to put
up a gallant fight in defense of the
principles to which they adhere?" We
don't know why. Don't ask us.
Maybe it is because the democrats
haven't any principles to which they
adhere. They have certainly not adj
hered to anything worth mentioning
for the past thirty or forty years. I'VE
believe" saws tho P1oindao1or ooo;p
that if they do, victory, if it does not
perch on their banners, will come very
close to doing So" Now what optim-
list has been blowing hot air into the
Plaindealer? Victory has a little re-
gard for itself left. We regret to see
a paper so steadfast as the Plaindealer
hitting the political pipe in this reck-
less fashion.

times responsibilities deepen the seri-
BUSINESS. But the ordinary manner
of the president shows spirit and sob
erness within moderate limits. The
developments at Havana have revealed
how deeply the president can be
moved and how strongly he can ex-
press himself. When the conditions
of scandal presented themselves in all
of their first hideousness, there was a
gathering at the White House which
will not be forgotten by those who par
ticipated. The look on the presidents
set face and the short, sharp sentences
which came from mis- lips will live in
memory. Before the temper of that
council all questions of relative respon-
sibility, all inclination to express in
credulity, all feeling of personal
friendship for the suspected, anything
which might tend to minimize the i'm
portance of the discovery were dissi-
pated. The heads Of departments
went out from that conference with
the knowledge that the full power of
the government would be involved to
the complete exposure of the crimes
and the merciless punishment of all
directly or indirectly concerned. Men
who think the greatest thing in public
life is the pull" shook their heads.
They would not believe that this one
or that n would be compelled to suf-
fer degradation. They argued that
influence would ave. Iney refused
for a time to accept the revelations.
But the sentiment has changed. All
Washington now realizes how terribly
in earnest this president can be.

A CHAP.

He has been quiet for some time but
he has broken out again. This time
he has discovered a sub%terranean
river. 1t is eighty feet under the
ground and makes a fearful noise. 1t
is a river that kicks up the dust, 81 to
speak. He has not Investigated it
thoroughly yet, but as soon as he has
an opportunity to penetrate its depths
we look for a fine assortment of pre-
historic reptiles, and fishes. Here is
what he says of it:
A subterranean river has been dis
covered beneath the farm of O. J. Sol
berg. one mile west of Reynolds. An
e~ighteen-inch we'll was being bored,
and when the depth Of eighty feet had
been reached the tools suddenly
dropped. and a loud roaring sound was
heard. which frightened the workmen
and caused them to fly from the spot.
1t was found that a moving body Of
water, ten feet deep, had been struck.
A pail attached to a rope let down
was carried swiftly in a southeasterly
direction. Light thrown down by a
mirror showed a swiftly moving cur
rent. The roaring of the stream can
be heard by passers by IN the high
way, some distance away.
Evidently it is what we call an an
CRY stream, otherwise why should it
roar? What an eventful day that
must have been on the peaceful farm
of Mr.. Solberg. The workmen busily
engaged in digging an unimportant
we'll when suddenly the bottom drops
out of the world in that locality and g
subterranean river rises up to the sur.
face, shows it's teeth and roars ter
ribly. Then the dull thud of the tools
as they dropped down in the mair
street in Manila! The hasty flight O.
the workmen to the tall grass! Tht
wild believing of the frightened cat
tie! The cackling of the geest! TIL,
temporary dimming of the SUMS light
And finally the majestic appearance.
of the Grand Forks Press Correspond
emit on the scene! He grabs the sub
terranean river by the slack of tn,
pants and throws it down on tn
ground until he counts the rings on it
horns and chokes it until it tells it
name, age, residence and business, al
of which he writes down to send GU
to the papers.
We do not know this Grand Fork
Press Correspondent, but he is a de
serving chap. AS a discovered h

une. He has faith in the cheering and
in%vigorating effects on the minds of
the voters of the state of better prices
they are receiving for some of their
leading products. Hard times made
republicans populists. Good times are
bringing them back into the fold.
Sheep raising is one of the great in
dustries of Idaho. Under the Harri-
son administration sheep were worth
from $2.25 to $3.50 per head: With
the election of Cleveland they began
to shrink in value until they got to be
worth only 81. I :. They were 80 cheap
it did not pay to steal them. But
with the Inauguration of Mckinley
they advanced in price 40 cents, for it
was known that the sheep were to
have a chance, which they could not
have with democrats in power, who
have no higher opinion of those ami
mails than John Randolph had. In
1899 the average price was $2.3S.
January l last it was $3.50.
Idaho wool brought Is cents a
pound in 1892. During Cleveland's
second term it brought six cents. 1t
is selling now for from is to % cents.
There are over 100000 sheep in the
state, producing several million pounds
of wool yearly. 1t is not strange that
the sheep farmers with plethoric pock-
cts should take a more genial and, con-
sequently, a more republican view of
the situation than they did four years
ago when democratic low prices had
soured and embittered them. They
will not vote to throw away all the
have gained under the present admin
istration and go into the desert again.
Lead is another important Idaho
product. Under Harrison the price
per hundred pounds ranged from s. 400
to $4.3O. When Cleveland was elected
in 1892 it fell to $3.50. The price de-
clined to So. 20 in 1894 and 50. 30 in
1895. 1t was So. 1919 when Mckinley
was inaugurated, and it has advanced
since then to 81. 10. The lead miners,
says Senator Shoup, cannot be rea-
soned out of the belief that an advance
in price, which means so much to them,
should be credited to the republican
party.
Idaho cattle are worth on the aver
age $40 more a head than they were
when Mckinley was inaugurated.
Horses are worth from S. to $40 more
than a year ago. The ranchmen are
assured earnestly by the democrats
that a republican administration had
nothing to do with their present pros
perity, but they refuse to be con-
WINGED, and they mean to hold fast to
an administration which they believe
has benefited them.
The sheep raisers, cattlemen, and
lead miners of Idaho are not alone in
this determination. There has been
a great change of heart since 1896 in
the western states which gave Bryan
their votes then. The prosperity
which republican principles has given
them has converted them to saner po-
litical opinions.
