Lewiston Democrat: Tom Carter
assumes that he is the sole owner of
the recently elected republican men,
bers of the Legislature and expects
them to humbly do his bidding when
ever he cracks the whip. A good many
people, however, now look upon Mr.
Carter as something of a back number,
and we confidently expect to see him
again out-generaled by Mr.. Heinze
just as he was in the fall election. It
used to be that Mr.. Carter was one of
the smoothest grafters that ever came
down the political pike, but the cold
autumnal winds now sigh through his
alfalfa whiskers, and the Legislative
RUDE from the back districts looks upon
him with suspicious misgivings.

From the State Press

Lewistown Democrat: Republicans
in both Rroadwater and Rosebud coun-
ties have instituted contest proceedings
with the object of depriving democrats
of victories won in the November cleo
ton. In these two counties democratic
state senators were elected, and pre-
sumably at the instigation of Tom
Garter vicious effort is to be made to
deprive them of their seats. Our re-
publican friends should learn, when
defeated, to take their medicine and
gracefully acquiesce in the verdict as
rendered by the people at the polls. If
they do not do this they must expect
censure from every one who believes in
a fair fight with no favors.

THE COUNTRY" PRESS.

During the campaigns of 1896 and
1900, and the lesser campaigns since
the former date. the democratic party
has found its chief newspaper support
among the loyal democratic newspa-
pers so often designated as '.the coun-
try press. With few notable ex-
ceptions the metropolitan newspapers
classed as democratic deserted the
democratic standard and lent aid to
the republican party. But the deser-
tons from the ranks of ''the country
press were SO few that they were not
noticeable. With loyalty that could
not be swerved and an ability that
challenged the admiration of the oppo-
sition, "the country press" rallied to
the democratic standard and performed
prodigies of valor. THE country
press has ever been loyal, and be-
cause of this every democratic newspa-
per that is embraced in this designa-
ton deserves and should have the
hearty support of democrats in its COM
munity. a we'll edited local newspa-
per exercises an important influence,
not always visible to the casual OBJ
server, but always apparent when the
test comes. Hundreds of such demo-
cratic weeklies and small dailies reach
the Commoner' exchange table regu-
larly. and they are constant source
of inspiration. Let democrats show
W their actions that they appreciate

energy of the democratic newspapers

principles in the face of influences that

OUR GREETINGS.


TO all friends and readers the News
extends Christmas greetings. To be
happy is the privilege of all; to make
others happy is yet higher privilege
and duty, and if the News can con-
tribute to the happiness Of it's readers
it will itself be happy and contented
How best to keep this pleasant occa-
sion should enter into all our thoughts
this week. 1t is season of giving
and good will and he who fails to enter
into the blessed spirit is out of touch
and sympathy with the best impulse
of mankind. and that is the most
pathetic alienation one can suffer in
this world. If one finds himself drift
ing toward this unhappy loneliness,
he can more readily check the drift at
Christmas time than at any other sea-
son. This, indeed, is one of the chief
benefits of this Christmas festival.
which it exerts on the better nature of
mankind.
Around the Christmas festival there
are clustered more pleasant memories
than may claim as their source all
other forms of merrymaking known to
the western world.
Having It's inspiration in eastern
5ysticism, but basing its foundation
on the earliest custom of the western
world, Christmas appeals alike to the
credulty of childhood, the faith of
manhood and the trembling hope of old
age.
With the mystifcation of the
ancient faiths of India and Per
STA. the mythology of Greece and
Rome, the wild tales told along,
the fog-driven coast of Germany from
Holland to Jutland, the weird wild
belief of the Druid priests in Celtic
forests, links the beautiful story of
Bethlehem and the strange legends of
the wise men of the east.
The Santa Claus of the Dutch, soot,
st. Nicholas, the sainted and benevo-
lent bishop of Myra, who died in the
long ago of the year 50, is as much a
reality to the younger Children of the
twentieth century as to the oder chill
dren of fifteen centuries ago.
Every nation has its own tradite t,~
and legends linked with the Christ
mas festival, all varying in details but
each bearing certain characteristics.

ness of self. all shine Respondent in

IN(ENDIARY ORIGIN

II turns out that the fire back of the
Steiner curio store on Hotel street Sum
day morning early was OF incendiary
origin instead of having been the re-
suit of an accident as was thought at
first. This was determined by fire
jury which met at the police station
yesterday.
Chief Thurston was an important
witness. lie stated that upon arrival
at the place with the chemical engine,
he had the fire out in no time. On
making an examination of the room In
which the fire started, he found a
bundle of shavings and sticks lying
directly against the wall which hal
been well burned. The flames had gone
upward on the wall to the ceiling.
There was no question that a deliber'
ate attempt had been made to set the
place aRre. Other witnesses were
examined and the following verdict
was then rendered:

San Jose. Aug. 2O.-The hay grow
crs of this section are happy over the
sudden turn upward taken by the hay
market in the past few days. As against
the ruling price OF from 81 to $40 for
hay ten days ago, sales were made
readily yesterday at from 81 to Sl3,
with a ready demand at those figures.
Furthermore, IL seems quite evident
from the demand and the number OF
buyers in the field that the top notch
has not yet been reached. Buyers from
San Francisco are in the field and new

Santa Clara county had an average
crop OF hay this season, and will export
good quantity at the increased figure,
which will add materially to the al
ready liberal returns coming in from
the harvest OF agricultural and horti-
cultural products this year.
