Journal is known, Col. Watterson IS known, because it is his trenchant pen that has made the Courier-J ournal one of the best known, most eXten- sively read, and most widely quoted of any paper in the United States.
 He is known to everybody as the ablest advocate of tariff for revenue only" eyer had, and for many years he was practically alone in his battle for tariff reform. He never faltered. but kept up the fight perslstently until he succeeded Tn rallying enough votes to his standard to make the election of Democratic president possible. It was his eloquerce III season and out of season.
 It vas on the tariff ideas advanced by Col. Watterson that MT 1ilden " of the office. 1t was on Coi. Waiter sons tariff platform that Cleveland won in 1884 ana again in 1892.
 If the Democratic party wins agaln in national election 1t must be on Col Wattersoa S platform of tarlr re form. The greatest menace to the rights of the American people today are the trusts. and the only correct | solution of the trust question IS a reduction Of the present protective tariff to "revenUe only basis. Re ciprocity is a humbug. It IS a sham, a fraud It will never result in affect ing the great trust interests.
 Tariff and trusts are going to he the great issues in future between the two great contenamg political parties. and nobody would be more able TO lead the Democrats in such fight than Col. Naltersop
 Kentucky would honor herself aF electing him to the goye2norshlp. but she would honor herself greater by nm to the United States son- ate to succeed the unmentlonabla De boe and at the sap e time do the n9 ton a great service. for in the senate he would at once become the leader of the tariff reform forces in congress. and the indefatigat.e fight he would make could not result otherwise than in an eyentful victory for tAe people.

The following letter from Rev.
Martin +. Cady, d, D., of Chicago,
will call up many pleasant reminis-
cences Of the St. Croix Military Acad.
envy and the River Falls Institute in
the minds of many of the JOURNAL
readers.
903 w. Adams ST., Chicago, Ill.
Rev. T. J. Snodgrass,
Dear Brother:
This is to certify that Mr..
and Mrs. H. B. Wentz have united
with the Western Avenue Methodist
Church In Chicago. 1t was a remind
er of old times to get letter from
the church in River Falls. I lived
there five years, from 1869 to 1874.
Many Of the people now among the
leading citizens Of that place and
many who are gone were students of
mine, / received my first license as a
local preacher at quarterly meeting
ia the school house In Pierce Valley,
Rev. j. E. Irish, presiding elder. My
Oldest child lies In the burying-ground
at River Falls. supplied the church
at River Falls one year, preaching
alternate Sunday afternoons at Pierce
Valley and Kinnickinnic. At the
latter place "Billn Nye was janitor.
He and his brother Frank, Nels
Haugen and wife, G. r. Morse and
his sister, Mrs. Fred Burhyte, all of
Mrs. A. p Yields sisters and her
brother, and the children Of S. ID.
Dodge were among my students.
The last year l was there / was
County Supt OF Schools and visited
every part OF the county. l spent
five delightful, formative years there.
Brother Wentz tells me that the
Methodist church is very prosperous
now. 1t was hard work 20 keep it
going thirty years ago.
| hope to see River Falls again be-
fore many years.
Sincerely yours,
MARTIN e CADY.

Deer hunting resulted in more
casualties in this state alone in the
open season Of twenty days than the
brutality" in all the football games
of the country for the year. Sixteen
people were killed and over thirty
injured in deer hunting. Nine men
we're killed and seyenty-three more
or less seriously injured in playing
football.
We get little bewlldered in hunt
ing for local news in our all-home-
print exchanges. They mix up their
plate stuff and excerpts from daily
papers in such an in1iscriminate way
with local news that we are often
compelled TO read two or three
sentences OF clippings before we get
onto the fact that we are on the
wrong track. They require of us a
supererogation. In our search for
local and original production we try to
skip what we read two or three times
lL the dailies the day before. 1t
would be more convenient If they
would sandwich their local stuff In
alternate items as they do patent
medicine ads, next to reading mat
ter" but then this is only the
economic view of the fellow up tree.
Perhaps it suits their patrons. If so,
the method is correct.

Mrs. Nation no longer attracting
much attention, Kansas proposes to
make a bid for the public eye by insti-
tuting the grandest grand larceny
case ever begun in any court. It is
going to sue for the theft of a river
and will name Colorado as the defend
ant. Tie Kansans charge their neigh
bors with having stolen the Arkansas
river by diverting it from it's natural
channel and empoundjng it for irrigat-
ing purposes. Before the Coloradoans
appropriated the stream it was wont
to flow through the great Kansas
wheat belt and it's waters were used
by the farmers and for watering stock.
Now only the old bed remains to
mark where nee the turbulent stream
flowed and the Kansans are going to
take their neighbors to account for the
theft. The preliminaties to the suit
have been gone through with and the
action is now of record in the federal
court at Topeka. The attorney gen
eral of Kansas appears for the com
plainant.

THE GOVERNORS QuANDRY.

Governor Toole is said to be cudgel-
ing his gray matter not a little as to
what course he shall take with the
senate apportionment bill. A new
county was created by the legislature
for which 10 provisions for legisla-
tive representation was made. The
county which finds itself debarred
from participation in the next legis-
lature is Daily. created out of a portion
of what was formerly Deer Lodge.
The position Of the governor in ref
erence to the matter is more difficult
than may appear at first glance. If
he signs the bill the people Of the new
county propose to go ahead and elect
their representatives and trust to luck
to have them seated. Should this be
done the danger arises if the repre-
sentatives are seated, for not being
provided for in the regular, lawful
way, their participation in legislative
affairs would lay open to doubt, as far
as legality is concerned, every meas
ure passed by the legislature. If he
does not sign the bill, the duty which
is made mandatory Oh the legislature
by the constitution will not have been
performed, as the constitution clearly
specifies that at least once i'll every ten
years the legislature shall apportion
the representation of the different
counties of the state. Some are of
the opinion that the governor will find
it necessary to onven the legislature
i'll extraordinary session to remedy
the defect.

AN UNFAIR

Whether deservedly or not, the sec
rotary of the navy is receiving some
rather sever criticisms just now. 1t
all originates in the distinction made
by the navy department in the uni
forms worn by officers who graduated
from the naval academy and those pro-
noted from the ranks. While the sec
rotary probably is not responsible
for the distinction he seems, in a re-
cent interview, to approve of it and
hence the criticism. Just why a man
who by his ability and merit has
raised himself from a place in the
forecastle to one in the officers ward
should be forced to continually adver-
tise the fact that once he was an en-
listed man perhaps those responsible
for the order can explain. The ne
cessity for it does not appear to the
ordinary landsman. No such distinc-
tion is made III the uniforms Of officers
in the army and it apparently should
not be made in the navy. 1t would
seem that an officer is an officer, to be
obeyed and respected accordingly. 10
matter what his origin. It may be
that some one of the Sampson stripe
originated the order of distinguishing
.-..:C--.- -.-J H. l--1 ,-.
it without heed to its evident intent.

Again the monstrous Turk has in

Again the monstrous Turk has in
augurated a campaign Of torture and
murder against his subjects who pro-
TESS the Christian religion. This time
it is the Macedonians who are made
to suffer because they are not Moham-
medans, and they are appealing to the
world for relief from their oppressor.
In view Of their past indifference to
Turkish prosecutions of Christians, it
is not probable that any Of the Euro
pean governments will follow the ex-
ample the United States set in Cuba
by driving out the Spanish oppressors,
and going to the relief of the Mace
domains. Fear of the jealousy of each
other stays the hands Of the Eropean
nations and the barbarous and savage
Turk may glut himself on Christian
blood until he sickens for all they
seem to care OF will do.
