A GOOD MOVE.

We favor the determination Of the
Second Assistant Postmast-r-General
to relieve the mails OIL the fake publi-
cations, advertising schemes, gift en-
terprises, medical literature Of a GER
tain character, and the other alleged
literature which embraces three
fourths Of the entire weight Of all mail
matter and constitutes In revenue but
a fourth Of the sllOO)0,ooO annual re
ceipts.
Some time ago Dir. Madden called at
tention TO this matter, and we believe
sent out from his office a circular let
ter to publishers Of legitimate publica-
tions, requesting their opinions on the
propriety Of placing some limit on the
second-class matter We cannot recall
whether that official announced the re-
suit of his inquiries, but it is pre-
sumed that the action Of the Second
Assistant Postmaster-General in the
OfQeI ne rs hDOuN W AeeA'f 40 fA N''-N'%
upon the favorable character Of the re-
sponses,
No legitimate publisher Of legiti'
mate publication, newspaper periodi'
cal. magazine, etc. will object to the
proper regulation Of the second-class
matter. The thing has become an out
rage on the taxpayers Of the entire
country and a millstonc on the neck'
of Postoffice officials. The wonder j;
that steps have not sooner been taken
to limit the second-class matter to the
legitimate publications clearly defined
by law in this matter. Stretching this
law an inch opens the way for the fax
ers TO take a yard, and the only saf'
course for the Postofice authorities t
pursue is to rigidly confne the second
class matter, with which the mail
have heretofore been swamped, Il

COMPTROLLER DAWES
The Administration Candidate for
Senator and the Cause.

Mr.. Dawes has resigned as comp
troller of the Treasury, to take effect
October /. Mr.. Dawes announces his
candidacy for the Uni ed States Sen
ate To succeed Senator Billy Mason.
Mr.. Mason thinks he fills the position
satisfactorily and is entitled to sec
ond term, but for some cause, probably
his manly course in the BOer war, he Is
pers1na non grata with the oily admin
istration which has played so disgrace
fully into the hands of John Bull.
The citizens of Illinois will teach the
anti. Boer administration a thing or
two i'm the contest it has inaugurated
on Senator Mason by grooming its
Commit oller for his tOga. The square
issue is Boer or anti BOer. our Ameri-
can policy or a semi-Brirish admins
tration, and Chicago and the other
cities Of Illinois will rally to Mr..
Mason Let Mr.. Nj ,sOn stand boldly
on his BOer record and challenge the
administration policy of making the
Uni ed States a base Of supplies Tor
England i'm its piratical effort to cTush
out Il e liberties Of brave ana gallant
people, who have so far whipped the
British one to seven Mr.. Mason truly
represents lle SGublulSllNo VI llhN
tenths of the American people on this
issue, and, as stated, it is the only
issue and the only reason why the
| Mckinley administration trots out its
Comptroller of the Currency to con-

SECRETARY CAGES DEPARTMENT.

SECR ETARh CAGES DEFARIhhN l.
That cherub, Charles Lyman, Ap-
pointment Clerk of the Treasury De-
partment, possesses a depth We have
not yet fathomed.
When a vacancy was created by the
resignation Of Mr.. Vanderlip, he made
a desperate dive for the vacancy. He
does not let the grass grow under his
feet when there is a vacancy above
him. Failing in that, he scented the
retirement of Chief Clerk Swaizie;
that worthy gentleman held on like
grim death" until he could not hold
any longer He, however, held on long
enough to smuggle two Of his most
worthy sons into soft snaps, in spite
of civil service regulations.
Lyman pleaded his cause with all
the yehemence Of a Clay. He conceiv-
ed himself to be the right thing for
the right time, and the right place,
and that he was directly in line for
promotion, and by au rights, sacred
and divine, he was, par excellence, the
man. He also dwelt to a great extent
upon the great valor displayed by him
in the Civil War, and wanted to show
his wounds, like the old Romans used
10 do when they claimed honors at
the hands Of the government.
Being disappointed in these two
failures. it is to be presumed, unless

feared, because of it, and so necessi-
tate an extra session. 1t was found
that the striking out of the offensive
amendment would stir up opposition
to the Spooner provision, which would
likely cause the bill to fail in reaching
the president, SO the matter was drop
ped. AS it is the presidents hands are
tied SO that much that might have
been done toward the development of
the islands cannot be accomplished.
But the president accepts the situation
as it is, and will do the best he can
under the circumstances. There is
more or less difference of opinion as to
what Cuba will do. Some think that
when it is found out there what the
United States really demands, it will
be agreed to without question, while
others are of the opinion that thessde-
mands of this country will stir up
trouble among the leaders there Sena-
tor Morgan predicts that within two
months the United States will be en-
gagged in suppressing an insurrection
there. An instruction there
before the Americans leave,
would probably result in annexation.
The terms provided in the amendment
to the army bill must be accepted in
their entirety. This is the ultimatum
of the administration.

Laugh and Get Well.

Laugh and grow fat is saying
that contains a deal of truth, and is
worthy of attention by many sufferers
in body as we'll as in mind. We in
stinctively associate jollity with ro-
tundity, and sour disposition with a
spare form. The rule is, of course, not
without exceptions, for we often see
people with little propensity to take on
fat who are full of fun and sunshine.
Such persons are not boisterous, how
ever. They are possessed, it may be,
of a quiet humor, are happy and
make others happy, and they smile
easily and perhaps laugh softly, but
they do not laugh loud, and certainly
they do not cachinnate.
The conclusive moments which we
call laughter exert very real effect
upon the physical organism. They
cause the arteries to dilate. so that
they carry more blood to the tissues of
the body, and the heart to beat more
rapidly, so that the flow of blood
through the vessel is fastened. In
other words, laughter prolongs the
very best condition for an increase of
the vital processes tissues take
up more nutritive material and the
waste products are more promptly re-
moved
Not only is laughter an accompani-
ment and an expression of joy, but it
even creates joy. Often a good laugh,
excited in spite of yourself, will
change the current of thought and
impart general rosy tint to what
was before of the deepest blue.
This happy effect is due in part to
the increased flow of blood to the
brain, and the consequent better work
ing of the instrument of thought, and
partly to the fact that when a mental
state and physical act are associated
1.-THE physical state being usually in
duced by the mental act), the perform
ance of the physical act, even if at
first perfuncUory, will in time induce
the mental state corresponding to it.
The doctors have hardly learned
| what valuable curative power there is
in laughter. 1t is a precious and
health giving tonic, often more effica,
| cious than bitters and iron and fal
pleasanter to take.
Let the dyspeptic, the bilious, the
melancholy, and those who seem to be
wasting away without any disceverable
| cause, take course Of funny stories
and humorous books ; let them retire tc
their closets or to the woods, and
laugh out loud for few minutes two
| or three times day, and when they
have done this for a month or two
let them tell their friends the secret oil
their improved health. Youth Com

KILLED THE JURY BILL
MR.. SWEETS MEASURE PUT TO

Mr.. Peterson Wants Benefits of the

The Increase in the New Capitol
Appropriation Recommended to
Pass by the Upper House-Sentaor
Lords Divorce Bill.
st. Paul, March 4-The Sweet five
siXths jury bill was defeated in the
house by vote of 55 to so after one
of the most exciting and stubbornly
contested struggles of the Thirty-sec-
ond session. The lawyers of the house
almost without exception were ar
rayed on the losing side.
The bill has been Fought inch by
inch ever since it's introduction, in
the judiciary committee, where 1t was
first referred, and in the committee
of the whole, where it was bundled
about for several days before it was
allowed to get on the calendar. Cor
porate interests were used as one of
the principal arguments by both par
ties in the drawn out controversy.
The enemies of the bill asserted
that the claim that corporations spend
large sums of money to influence
juries, setting on cases touching their
interests, has become too widespread
to be ignored and that to allow five
sixths of a jury to determine upon a
verdict would increase the opportu-
mites for corruption.
The champions of the bill claimed
that corporations in their attempts to
influence juries do not seek to buy
them intact, but prefer to corrupt one
or two members and thereby secure
disagreements in cases where favor
able verdicts cannot be secured.
Representative Peterson of New
Ulm introduced a bill for a memorial

of the benefits Of the pension acts to

comrades.
Another bill by Mr.. Peterson pro-
vides that no telegraph company shall
charge more than 20 cents for a mes
sage of 10 words or less transmitted
over lines wholly within the state,
and fixes a maximum rate of 1 cent
per word in excess of 10.

to complete the building as they rec

lature.

each county will be placed at the dis
posal of the county commissioners, to
