State senator L. B. Hanna, Of Fargo,
was a visitor in the city between trains
on Wednesday. He has received the
compliment oi the assurance Of the un-
animous support Of the Cass county del
egates to the Legislature, as a candidate
for the U. S. Senate, to succeed Senator
Hansbrough. This action will do much
ITO hinder Mr.. HIS chances. Mr.. Hanna
is nephew f Senator Mark Hanna, is
vice-president OF Fargo's largest bank
and is very popular wherever he is
known. He is very pleasant gentle
man to meet, and lastly, and perhaps
the strongest test of his goodfellowship,
that,of camp life,--he was universally
liked by the hunting party at Buford, o.
which, he was member this fall. s.i

We are afraid the republican majority
in congress will find the reciprocity and
tariff revision like "tariff reform in the
Cleveland administration. is easier to
talk about in the abstract than to apply
in actual practice. With a much broad.
er doctrine, the democrats made total
failure in their attempt to reduce the tar
iff and only succeeded ii making mess
oft. It's hardly possible to reduce the
ttiriff on any particular article, without
some locality Interested in the product
.isno that article setting up:a howl -for,
after all, Hancock was right, at least in
this sense, when he said that the tariff
is alocal question. !"

The trouble in Venezuela is an exam
pie Of what the Monroe doctrine" is
liable to make for us at any time. The
Monroe doctrine, stated in its simplest
form, is that the soil Of tine continent Of
America is not open to colonization or
conquest by European powers in dis
tinctlon to such a country as Africa or
some Of the islands Of the sea, inhabited
by uncivillzed tribes or savages. The
principal reason given for the promulga-
ton Of the Monroe doctrine by the Unit
ed States, was that the occupation Of
American soil by conquest or otherwise
by European governments would be a
menace to the existence Of this country.
Ofcourse, there has been considerable
expansion Of the Monroe doctrine in 9TH

the basic principles. The general idea

On the way to the Lakes OF K'llar-
ney, party of tourists heard sound
of singing in little fa:m-housa By the
roadside. It was a mans VOICE, in a
tenor so marvelously sweet that the
stranger halted some time to listen.
ooh, if could hope ever to sing
like that !" said one of the company,
young student Of music.
A girl came out OF the cottage with
basket on her arm, and she passed
the wagon with courtesy.
"Will you kindly tell US who it is
that sings so beantiiully?' asked the
student.
eyes, sir it's my Uncle Ton,," said
the girl. "He's after hayin' bad
turn with his leg, and SO he's just
singin' away the pain the while"
For moment the astonished tourists
did not know what to say. Then one
asked, tenderly, els he young? Will
he get over the trouble?"
"No he's gettin' bit old now, and
the doctors say he'll never be the bet
ter in this world but" sh5 added soft
ly, "he's that heavenly good, It would
near make you cry TO see him, with
the tears rollin' down bis checks with
the pain and thea 1t is that ne sings
the loudest -
Somehow the listeners thought ol
the eternal city, and they drove On
slowly, as if their wheels were passing
its streets.
"God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes," quoted one OF the ladies
"and there shall be no more pain"
Heavenly hope does not depend
upon circumstances, but sorrow aud
priyatlon seem to foster its growth
It Is darkness that brings ou1 the
nightingales. Aud how much wiser
it is to sing than to fret.
