Sad Change in three Ye.r..


There are but few cases in which the
two great parties occupy contradictory
positions about the objects to be ac-
compiished. In those cases the Demo-
crat is always for the less authority,
the stricter construction of the law, the
greater liberty of the individual, for
influence and time as against force. 1t
is method OF thought, philosophy of
life, which distinguishes Democrat
from all others. A Democrat believes
in himself and will not call on the gov
eminent until his Individual power Is
exhausted. A paternalist goes to the
government at once. There you have
it.-Milwaukee Journal

Tried to Prevent American Canal.

Strange as it may seem to genuine
Americans, the history of the Hay
Pauncefoot abonination clearly shows
that from the beginning of the nego-
tiations the administration appeared as
anxious as Lord Salisbury to tie this
countrys hands so that an American
canal should be forever impossible.
We do not learn that this attitude has
changed. Doubtless 1t will greatly
color the new negotiations which are
now in their first stages.-Washington

There is nothing like Kerosene oil for
some sorts of cleaning. A much.used
sewing machine, for instance, when 1t
becomes gummy and sticky from dust
and oil. needs to be gone over thor
oughly. A flannel cloth and little
kerosene oil will do wonders in the
way of renewing the youth and fresh
ness of the machine. In applying any
kind Of polish to furniture, do not make
the mistake Of using too much. In
most cases little will go long way.
Do not put the oil or polish directly
upon the wood. Rather put 1t on
cloth in strictly limited quantities. A
soft wooden cloth, plenty Of rubbing
and mixture of three tablespoonfuls
of linseed oil with one tablespoonful
of vinegar will make a mahogany table
shine like mirror.

The editor returned last Friday
from d two weeks visit TO Sagi-

Minnesota and Wisconsin the
fields showed plainly the effect
of the summers drouth, but
Michigan escaped this, and reas-
onably fair crops of agricultural
products, including fruits, for
which the state is noted, has
been secured. The Saginaw
country was for many years a
great lumber producing section,
but with the depletion of the
pine forests this industry gradu
ally became less of a factor, and
other manu- features had to be
inaugurated to take its place. The
discovery of coal and it's success
full mining largely aided in this
and tends to make these manu-
featuring industries successful.
Quite anumber of beet sugar fac
tories are located in the valley,
and the large proportion of land
devoted to this vegetable, shows
that its culture is undoubtedly
profitable to the growers. Beet
sugar manufacture has come to
be quite an industry, and the
S ate is credited with one third
Of this product in the United
States. Owing to lack of space
