FAITHFUL SERVANTS.
During the campaign last fall
the Inter-O Ocean repeatedly re-
ferred to the sturdy character and
sterling manhood of the Ramsey
county candidates for the legisla-
ture as an omen for good. They
were elected, the Legislative ses-
sion is at an end, and this paper
can now take pride in recalling the
fact that it upheld the candidacy
OF these mem on the broad ground
that their Legislative acts would
be such as to reflect credit upon
the district which. they we're to
represent. It has come to pass as
the Inter ocean predicted.
The record is now made up.
How Senator Hale and Represen-
tatives Nicholson and Davis voted
upon every question affecting the
interests of their constituents or
the welfare Of the citizens of the
state at large is public property,
yet we have to hear the first ques-
ton raised as to the motives which
controlled the vote Of any one of
these men on any single measure.
On the contrary it is disputed by
none that they invariably kept.be-
fore their minds the public welfare,
and, SO far as they were able to
discern the right, cast their votes
and influence in it's favor.
At any rate it is generally adj
mitted, because it cannot be de-
MED, that the Ramsey county del
egation was one. of the very best
in the Legislature and that it re-
hected great credit upon the dis
trict, just as the Inter- Ocean pre-
dicted it would. Senator Hale
proved one of the most useful
and influential members of the up
per house and the close of the ses-
sion found him in possession Of
an enviable reputation for ability
and probity Of character that will
stand him in good stead for all
time to come. Not every meas
ure in behalf Of which he gave his
voice and vote became a law, but
every measure that he heartily
supported had merit in it. No
doubtful scheme received the
weight of his influence or was
given the least encouragement by
him. Whether indorsing or OBJ
posing any Legislative project, he
was always able and ready to give
a clear, concise and just reason
for the attitude he assumed.
Equally true in the discharge of
every duty devolving upon him
was Representative Harry Nichol-
son whose record will bear the
closest inspection and who has,
therefore, no apology to offer for
any act performed by him in the
capacity of a legislator. He tried
at all times to do his duty faith
fully and conscientiously and how
we'll he succeeded his record in
the house clearly attests.

tanned an extended notice of the

will 1T be for the Ramsey county
district if in the future it shall be
represented in the state law max
ing body by men of such excellent
parts as those who served it dur
ing the last session. It should be
the aimof every citizen in the dis
trict to keep future delegations up
to the present high standard.
The talk about a reorganization
Of the Democratic party along the
lines Of Cleveland, Whitney and
Hill has died down. It is just as
well that it should be So. The
Lord knows the Democratic party
needs recognizing badly enough.
It needs renovating outside and
inside, but who is going to do it?
Certainly not Cleveland and Whit
ney. These men have no particu-
lar following and can do nothing.
Bryan appears to have abandoned
the role Of a party leader, but he
is still the god Of the Democratic
masses and when it comes to say
ing what is to be done to the Dem
ocratic party his voice is more
potent than that of any other man.
They may reorganize the Demo
cratic party but they have to con-
suit Bill Bryan first.
Unexpectedly the Montana legis-
lature elected a, senator before it
adjourned. It was generally sup
posed that the deadlock would con-
tinue to the end of the session,
but a surprise developed. The
gentleman elected as a mate for
Senator Clark is we'll along in
years, too old, in fact, to achieve
distinction in the arena Of nation
al debate and legislation, and yet
no doubt he will creditably repre-
sent the state Of Montana. He is
a business man of wealth and rep
utation, has good sense if not
brilliancy, and perchance may
serve the people better than a
more astute politician would have
done.
The mortal remains of Benjamin
Harrison, ex-president of the
United States, we're laid to rest on
Sunday. Thus has there passed
from the stage Of earthly, action
one of the brainiest and most con-
scientious of American citizens.
Ex-President Harrison was not a
popular idol in any sense of the
word, and yet he was a man for
whom the American people had
great respect. They believed him
to be honest and they knew he was
able. Peace to his ashes.
MI. Bryan will enlarge the
Commonwealth, his paper. It's
present diminutive appearance has
proved a disappointment to the
EDITORS friends and he has deter
mined to remedy the defect. It is
not likely, however, that there will
be any improvement in the quality
Of the reading matter-not at least
while Mr.. Bryan continues to act
as editor in chief.
Now that Benjamin Harrison is
dead Grover Cleveland is the only
living ex-president, and he, too, is
getting we'll along in years. How
ever, Mr.. Cleveland may be with
us for a long time yet, forea a
rule men Of his temperament and
physical characteristics are noted

New York, May 13.-Lost somewhere
between this city and the Pacific coast
are SIS, 900 in railroad bonds which David
4. Hartshorn of Brooklyn is anxious to
find.
Mr. Hartshorn is the administrator
of the estates of Richard Lauer and
Caroline M. E. Lotter. MI Lauer and
Mrs. Lotter. his daughter. were resi-
dents of Brooklyn. The former died on
May 1, 1891, in San Francisco He
transferred to his daughter, Mrs. Lotter,
50 railroad bonds Of the value of $1,000
each.
Mrs. Lotter was with her father at the
time of his death. She died in Brooklyn
on November 10 last The bonds in
question formed part of the estate left
by her, but the administrator, Mrr~Hart-
ShOrn, has been unable to locate them.
1t is his belief that some time before
her death Mrs. Letter deposited the
bonds in some bank or safe deposit
vault. either in this city. Chicago, Gin
clnnati, St. Louis, Kansas City or Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Hartshorn has recovered
all the interest coupons belonging to the
bonds, but his efforts to trace the bonds
themselves have failed.
The missing securities are seven first
mortgage bonds of the Texas & Pacific
Railroad company, 26 first mortgage
bonds of the Chicago, st. Paul and Min
neapOlis Railroad company, and five
first mortgage bonds of the Metropolitan
Elevated Railroad company of this city
