CHANCE FOR BEDE.
Need ,of a Mirttl Making Man in Con-
QreSS at Present.

greSS at Present.
w. W. .JerRane, the Washington
correspondent of the Minneapolis
journal has the following in regard to
j. Adam Bede.:
J. Adam Bede will make his mark
in congress. Already there has been
a good deal of talk about him, and on
the assumption that he will be nomi-
mated and elected some of the wag-
gish members of the house are advis-
ing Representative Cushnan of Wash
ingson state to look we'll so his lsarels
The chief wit of the house On the
Democratic side, Private John Allen
of Mississippi, retired voluntarily last
year, and since then two other promi-
nent Democrats, noted for their ability
to say and do clever things, Messrs.
Cummings and Otey, have died. This
leaves the Democratic side at present
with Champ ClarE as the only mem
ber who can honestly Lay claim to be-
ing able at will to provoke mirth. So
far as the Republican side is concern
ed. Mr.. Cashman has reigned alone
for several years. Mr.. Bede will be q
welcome addition to the galaxy of
congressional wits, snd will receive u
large share Of uproarious attention
from the very first. These fanny men
have been by no means deficient VIXEN
it has come to getting legislation for
their districts and states. Probably
no southern member in recent years
has pulled SO many nice things ont of
congress for his state as Private John
Allen. His last speech in congress,
on the eve of his retirement, was in
favor of an appropriation for fish
hatchery-at Tupelo, his native town.
The bill didn't have --.any especial
merir, but Mr.. Aliens speech carried
it through without dissenting vote.
Messrs. Cummings and Otey were
able in similar manner to influence
local bills. Cushman's success along
that line is we'll known all over the
west. So, the new eighth district of
Minnesota need not feel that Mr..
Bede will be handicapped if he comes
to Washington with a reputation COM
posed chiefly of ability to make funny
speeches. Congress in the main is a
pretty dry and prosy affair, and men
like Cushman, Cummings, Allen and
Otey have always been able to get
their full share of the good things, no
matter to which party they have be-
longed, or whether that party was in
power or not.

CLERKS MAY ORGANIZE.
Do Not Like the Decision to Keep
Open the Fourth.

The action of the Merchants Protec-
tive association in deciding to keep
the stores open on July Fourth has
stirred up much feeling among the
clerks, who have been counting on the
usual holiday then. 1t has given
strong impetus to the talk that has
lately been INDUCED in of forming
union of retail clerks.
If union is formed, as is proposed
by some, it will take action to secure
shorter hours. The clerks feel that
they are required to put in too many
hours day.
If all the clerks in Mankato were or
ganized, it would make force that
the merchants would have to reckon

says President Charles W. Eliot. 1t is
not the loss OF the forests only that is
to be dreaded, but the loss Of agrlcul-
tural regions now fertile and pOpulous,
which may be desolated by the foods
that rush down from bare hills and
mountains, bringing with them vast
quantities OF sand and gravel to be
spread over the lowlands. Tunis was

Roman empire. 1t now yields a scanty
