SENATOR TILLMAN,

A great deal of adverse criti-
cism, especially by Southern news
papers, is now being leveled at
Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
line, because of the recent episode
in the Senate in which the two
South Carolina Senators were par

ideas and convictions, with the
courage to defend them.
The senior Senator undoubtedly
acted hastily in the affair with
McLaurin, and the matter is to be
deeply regretted, but it is very I'M
just to lay all the blame on Till
man, when McLaurin first violated
the rules of the senate by using
such ungentlemanly and unparlia-
mentary language to his colleague
as called for retaliation, which
act however should not have &C.

patches from Washington to be
convinced of the estimation in
which the Senator is held by the
news agencies of the country, who
generally are we'll appraised of

Senator north or south.
Not only in the Senate, but in
private life and on the lecture
platform Tillman is power.
Right now he exerts at the north
where he is in greata demand as
lecturer, an influence second to
that of Ito one, in the calculation
of southern problems. The writer
believes that Senator Tillman, in
every position which he has taken
in the public national life, repre-
sents the views of the overwhelm-
ing majority of the southern peo-
pie.
The Senator has been criticised
because he is alleged to be of
common family and possessed of
plantation manners. The writer
believes that the family of Senator
Tillman is just as good asthe fam
lilies of his critics and that the
Senator himself is, intellectually,
infinitely their superior.
Instead of expelling Senator
Tillman from the Senate the south
would fare better if there were
more there like him.

TO BE A CHRISTIAN.

To be Christian is not merely
to be good, but to be good for
something. To be a Christian is
not merely to join the church,
but to become associated with the
people of God for service, so as to
both receive good and do good.
To be a Christian is aot merely to
make a profession of faith in
Christ, but to be born anew into
the life, power, and spirit of His
kingdom. To be Christian does
not necessarily imply freedom
from doubts, but it does imply
exercising that living faith in
Christ, which, in due time, tri-
umphs over doubts. Nicodemus
and Thomas had their doubts, but
by coming to Christ and clinging
to Him, they achieved complete
victory over them all. To be a
Christian is not necessarily to be
sure that you are right, and that
those who differ with you are
wrong, but it is to be very certain
that you do believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and strive honestly
to know and do His will.-Ex.

By sticking to it for nineteen
years, George T. Gambrell, of
Baltimore, has finally succeeded
IN collecting $4.56 from the Bal
timore and Ohio road, an over
charge on wheat shipment in 1888.
The company ignored the claim
at first, and he finally began to
lombard the officials with postal
cards, which he sent by the thou
sand. Then he took to writing
dainty scented notes, and that
fetched the railroad, which has
settled the claim.

FLOPPERS CANNOT VOTE,
Apprenticeship at Previous Election is
Needed at Primary Election.

Voters who are changing their party
utilization cannot vote at the primary
election. This is the ruling of q. W,
Somerby, assistant attorney general,
in reply to a question from G. L. Hill
ton. county attorney of Otter Tail
county.
Mr.. Somerby holds that as the law
reads a voter is only entitled to the
ballot of the party with which he
affiliated at the previous election and
whose candidates he then generally
supported. In the case..of first voter.
it is not necessary to declare past
utilization.
The effect of this will be to prevent
voters from taking part in. a party
primary until they have served ar
apprenticeship at previous election.
Men who voted the Democratic Of
Populist ticket two years ago canno
vote at the Republican primary uuti
they have proved the faith that is il
them by voting the Republican ticke
this fall.
In case a vote is challenged, tn,
voter will have to go on oath and
swear to his party utilization.

"GOOD ROADS PAY"

That good roads pay is being more
and more impressed upon people both
In city and country. While many OBJ
]ect to road Improvement on the
ground of the large expense which
they feel is connected with it, there is
at the same time more and more at
tention being paid to the grading and
drainage of roads, and where gravel
can be obtained its use is growing.
This all helps educate and will lead i'm
few years to much better roads, be-
cause 1t creates growing sentiment
in that direction. The Winona Repub-
ican and Herald in commenting along
this line, says that in that county
thousands of dollars have been expend-
ed for road work, for which there is
nothing now to show. This is only the
experience of every county in southern
Minnesota. Continuing on the value
of good roads it says:
First class highways bring wealth
and prosperity. They save money to
everyone who uses them. By faciH-
Eating transportation they add to the
value of the farmers crops and thus
enhance the value of his land. Strong
evidence in this direction comes from
New Jersey, where the work of high
way Improvement has been carried on
lntelllgently and diligently for several
years The state expended in this
work in 1901 half a million dollars
and has doubled the appropriation this
year. Since the inception of the
goodroads movement the taxable value
OF the property of the state has in
creased $27, 900, 900. 1t is not to be
claimed that all this increase has
sprung from good highways but the
commissioner who has the work in
charge makes the statement that
| there are several districts under his
supervision to which improved roads
have been the primary cause of at
tracing investments to the extent of
from one to four million dollars. In
New York where in the last four years
nearly $500, 900 has been spent in
scientific road making by the state,
with much larger appropriation for
this year, prices of real estate have
been subject to marked advances in
the localities where this money has
been spent.
There is no reason why these condi-
tions should prove exceptional In
deed evidence of this character might
be Indefinitely extended. Material for
making good roads is to be found in
abundance in this vicinity, and now
that the policy of making improve
ments with view to their perman-
ancy, to which we have referred,
seems we'll established, it only remains
to increase the appropriations to the
largest limit within the bounds of ex-
travagance. Good roads pay.

Barber Asphalt Co. Intends to Com

Diamond injunction case, preparatory
to moving for a new trial and taking

The Barber Asphalt Paving Co. is

AS the matter now stands, the city
can neither pay anything on the con-
tract price for the paving, nor can it
levy an assessment for the purpose.
The Barber company can sue the city
for the contract price, however, after
it has completed it's work. That will
be another matter from the one just

REFUSES TO SIGN.
City Recorder Williams Holds up
Fourth Street Purchase.

City Recorder Williams refuses to
sign the contract for the purchase by
the city of a half block on North
Fourth street from the Omaha road.
He bases his refusal on the ground
that the contract creates an interest
bearing debt, and that any increase in
the floating indebtedness is unlawful.
He will address a communication to
the council on the matter tomorrow
night, which he prepared couple of
weeks ago.
= The property owners living near the
half block in question have long been
agltating the purchase of the prop
erty' in order to get the road to aban-
don its two other blocks. This would
remove an eyesore from that section
and open up some very desirable resi-
dence property. The expense to the
city is 50, 500, of which 1915 is cash
and the balance on time at six per
cent. The railroad shaded it's price
81, 500 on account of concessions made
by the city on Walnut street.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
Grain Commission Merchants, s
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis,
80 Board of Trade, Duluth.
July Is. Trading in grain for the
last week has been on fairly large
scale, attended by wide fluctuations in
prices of coarse grains.
The feeling in wheat was nervous
and unsettled, as must necessarily be
the case, when the weather is the
chief influence. Wet weather did con-
siderable damage to wheat and oats in
shock and stack, and still uncut, and
interfered with the movement. The
storm on Saturday destroyed 10000
acres of crops in western Minnesota
and eastern South Dakota, and the
severe storm of Tuesday is reported to
have done much damage in the Red
River valley. These storms are con-
sidered local in character, and have
had no apparent influence on the
market
Wheat closed on Saturday about &c
lower than on Monday week ago,
and since Saturday has declined from
2 to q cents.
Lower caDles, generally taVoraDle
weather, and the collapse of the corner
in July corn have caused the decline.
July corn dropped BIZ cents per
bushels between Monday morning and
the close on Tuesday. The visible
supply of wheat increased 666, 00C
bushels, and Bradstreet's world s
available supply decreased 2, 993, DOC
bushels. Primary receipts 80 far this
weke are 2. 500. 600 bushels.
The decline has checked acceptances
stimulated sales for export.
The forecast is for less favorable
weather. The market has had good
decline, and we favor the buying side

A GOOD SIGN.
The Best Asphalt Pavements Chip
When Newly Laid.

There has been some comment over
the fact that the asphalt pavement on
Broad street chips or is pulled up a
little by the corks on horses shoes
Supt. Mclaughlin states that if it did
not do this it would not be a good
pavement. In this climate asphalt
pavement must be soft, to prevent its
cracking in winter. The chipping of
the pavement will not injure it, as
most of the chips are pressed down in
to the pavement again, and the depres-
sions are filed up. 1t is to be expect
ed that the chipping will continue for
four years, less each year, after which
it will be~so hard as to cease. chip
