No Use for Washers.

Residents of the effete east think
the people of the west have very
breezy and emphatic way of express
ing themselves. A short time ago in
the little town of Hiawatha, Kan, q
"masher" made his appearance, whose
manners and methods quickly soured
on the inhabitants of that primitive
town, and when western people sour
on fellow they are apt to let it
be known. With habitual western
promptitude town meeting was
called in the following languages:
"This viper, this cancer, this running
and fostering sore on the face of Hia-
watha society ought to be tarred and
feathered and rode out of the city on
a rail and given few hours in which
to shake the dust of Brown county
from his gripsack and get home to his
wife and babies. Such monsters are a
blight, a curse and disgrace to any
community afflicted with their pres
ence, and this fellows rotten carcass
ought to be lifted on the toe of good
sized boot and waited to more con-
genial cline. 1t will purify the air
of our city and allow our women to
pass up the street unembarrassed by
the lecherous chances of the would-be
masher."

and the combination and organization
OF capital and privilege have been fos-
tered until they have become a grave
danger to the public. The policy of
these is to retain what they have and
perpetuate their power by corruption,
Misrepresentation, falsehood anc coer-
cion. and, if these fail to defeat the
will of the people by force. The slave
holding aristocracy seceeded and took
up arms to keep their human chat
tells, the Kentucky corporations, to re-
tain their infence, are repeating the
process in another form, and accord
ing to Lauterbach the aristocracy of
money proposed like performance a
little less than four years ago. All
history teaches the lesson that it is
unsafe for a state to coddIe interests
whose power may by means of the
encouragement become greater than
its own. We have fostered corpora
tionS, which are creatures of the state,
until they have grown to be such
giants as to confront the people with
the issue whether the creatures or
their creators shall rule. Under the
present administration and congress
they dominate everything. Their will
is law. They no longer petition, but
command. Administrative officers and
legislators are not public servants but
their servants. Whether the sway of
this oligarchy is to be terminated or
become permanent is the overshadow-
ing question to be determined by the
national election this year. Unless
the power of the oligarchs is now
broken, it can hardly be subsequently
broken by peaceful means, forif given
four years additional license the oil
garchy will so entrench itself as to be
invulnerable. The Kentucky case, in
which Cromwellian me thods and the
methods of South and Central Ameri-
can usurpers and revolutionists are
prominent, supplies an object lesson
upon whose significance every Ameri-
can citizen should deeply reflect. The
strong hand of restraint must be put
upon the corporations and trusts, or
what is CONFUSING and disgracing
Kentucky will convulse and disgrace
the nation. Dubuque Telegraph.

The chief essential of success for a
young man is what the vast majority of
young men think about the least-that
is, good health and a sound constitu-
ton, writes Edward w. Box, in Ladies'
Home Companion. That is the first
thing; nothing precedes it. In the bat
tie for success, that should be young
mans first thought; not his abilities,
nor his work, but his health. That is
the basis; the corner stone of all. Abil-
tiles cannot bring health, but health
may, and generally does, develop abil-
ity. A young man with splendid health
and average ability will outstrip every
time the brilliant young man who is in
poor health. With the former the one
strengthens the other; with the latter
the one constantly saps the other, and
less and less effort becomes possible.
In any success good health, and the
keeping of it, is the first and greatest
essential. Everything possible devel-
ops from it.

At the Grain Growers convention
held at Fargo, Col. Powers spoke of
the necessity of farmers increasing
their holdings of live stock. From sta
tistics which he presented to the con-
vention, it appears that in North Da-
kota, wheat averaged a return of only
$3.50 an acre, leaving only about $1.37
per acre out of which to pay taxes and
insurance and obtain remuneration
for the farmer. Think of it, one whole
dollar and thirty-seven cents. No
wonder the farmer is Grand

The Grand Forks Plain Dealer gets
off this good one on the nj. DIS:
Indiana and Iowa are two unfortu-
nate states. kissing games have re-
suited in an epidemic in BARRIERS itch
in the former place, and a few cases of
small pox in the latter. A contempt
rary has suggested that the kissing
game be sterilized or abolished. Bet
ter to abolish it, we think, for to
sterilize it would be even worse. Who
wants kiss that's barren or unpro-
ductive of another kiss?

AGENT FOR THE TRUSTS.
pie as Controller of the Re-
publican Party.

It is no more likely that Senator Mark
Hanna, of Ohio, save in the event of
failing health, will retire from the lead
ership of the imperialist party in the
United States than that Cecil Rhodes, of
South Africa, will abandon his control,
through Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain, of the lingo party in Great Britain.
The two men, Hanna and Rhodes,
stand for one and the same principle in
their respective countries. The prin-
ciple is that of commercialized politics,
the prostitution of party principle to
the ends of private and corporate gain.
Mark Hanna entered American public
life as the accredited agent of trusts
and syndicates, and is debating the new
American policy of foreign colonialism
in the interests of trusts and syndi-
Gates. Cecil Rhodes became national
figure in England as the representative
of the South African company, and the
war on the Beers is due to the powerful
influence Of this great corporate body.
Hanna works through his control of
President McKinley's political fortunes.
Rhodes works through his mastery Of
the mind of Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain, ambitious to become prime
minister of Great Britain, the highest
| Office under the crown.
1t is not pleasant to contemplate the
personalities of these two men as domi-
mating the destinies of such govern
| ments as those of the United States and
Great Britain, but the fact of their
malign dominance may not truthfully
be denied. Hanna's supremacy in this
country is even more shameful than the
power of Cecil Rhodes in England, for
the reason that it is more directly the
| peoples fault under our system of gov
! eminent when a surrender of national
principle is made. In the case of Hanna
the surrender of American principle in
wolves startling reputation Of the
soundest American doctrines upon
which rests the structure of free gov
eminent. We are soon to be asked by
President Mckinley TO make this sur.
render final and irrevocable. What
shall be the answer of the American
people to the presidents astounding

An incident which was connected
with religious observances, but could
hardly be said to be pervaded by the
odor of sanctity, is described by the
Pittsfeld (Pa.) Journal: 1.-THE rehear-
sal of the Sunday school at the Junction
for its Christmas exercises came to a
sudden termination Thursday night,
and has caused no end of amusement
out Junction way. All the little tots
and few of their parents were at the
chapel going through the various songs,
when suddenly there trotted out of his
home from under the church skunk.
He was charmed by the music and came
up on the steps of the chapel and gazed
in on the happy little children in amaze
ment. One of the boys saw the animal
and started for it, not knowing its
breed, and the exercises closed there
upon. The small boy who met the
enemy has been fumigated and lives to
tell the story"

1t is estimated that the population of
the state of New York has increased by
100000 in the last four years. The con-

has fallen from 1861 four years ago to

ing. AT the same time one cannot help
remembering the fact that good many
