Political Defeats and their Results

Does it pay to become sore because
of political defeat? Ask of General
Weaver, Hon. Jim Lyon and a score
of lesser political lights in Iowa.
After the war of the rebellion Gen.
Weaver became one of the noted re-
publican leaders of Iowa. He was
talented and brilliant man on the
stump. He aspired to be governor.
In closely fought contest the con-
vention turned down both him and his
opponent and in the Inspiration OF
the moment nominated old War Gov
ernor Kirkwood. Weaver sulked.
Later he joined the greenbackers and
afterwards the democrats. He got one
term in congress, but with that excep-
ton his career for a quarter of GEN.
fury is full Of contests and defeats.
He developed into more or less of a
Pathfinder and scold.
Hon. James Lyons, of Guthrie
county, had been member of the leg
islature, had been state auditor, and
wanted to be governors. He failed in
his ambition, became embittered, turn
ed democrat, ran for Office on that
ticket and found to his surprise and
chagrin that he was no stronger than
the party upon whose ticket he was
running.
There are scores of other examples
of men who have received distinguish
ed honors at the hands of the republic
can party and, having asked for fur-
Their honor and failing TO receive it,,
have turned against their party. BY
doing so they have displayed some of
the weaknesses of human nature.
What is it that causes o man to
turn his back on the party and on its
nominees just after his defeat? How
about those principles which he has
professed to believe in? Has he no
gratitude for past favors he has re-
ceived?
BY so doing he subjects himself to
the criticism of the public. The pub
lie is apt to seek a motive for his sud-
den turning against his party, and is
apt to think they find it in the mans
disposition, in his selfishness. They
are apt to say that he is a republican
for himself only, and being personally
defeated, is sour. The public gener-
ally has little sympathy for such a
man.
The public likes hero. 1t likes a
steadfast man. IL likes one whose
faith and principles are not ready to
change the first time he fails to achieve
his purpose. Such man easily
makes OF defeat the foundation for
his future successes.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion Of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

Woods Soar in Assinaboia.

GRAND Forks, b. c., Aug. 81, '03
Editor REPUBLICAN, hereby write
yon thinking some of your readers
might possibly want. to know some
thing about the land in Assinboia. In
coming here Messrs. Luse & Jones OF
Carroll kindly let me go in their spec
ial car. In fact they had two Pull
man cars furnished with all the con-
veniences even to a piano on which a
colored fellow manipulated the worries
and emitted few vocal selections,
furnishing entertainment for us all the
way up. We had delightful trip all
the way. There were about 100 of us
that were to stop at Milestone, ASA.
Messrs. Luse g. Jones and the men
they had under them gave us the best
attention and saw that we had all the
comforts possible. Everyone seemed
to be having a good time. There
we're twelve other coaches besides
ours.
The country around Milestone is far
the best / noticed in Assinaboia. The
settlers claim oats would go from 100
to 135 bushels to the acre. They SEEM
ed to be raising good gardens and
felt very much encouraged as to the
outlook OF their country. Milestone
is a very promising town where almost
anything can be purchased. On our
arrival teams were ready to take us
out to look at land. Messrs. Luse &
Jones did not seem to leave stone
unturned to make everything pleasant
and satisfactory.
| noticed the wild grass green there
from to IL and IA inches high. | did
not hear one word of regret from any
OF the party. They all seemed well
pleased with their treatment and ex-
pressed surprise at the abundance and
yield of the land. There is wonder
full immigration into Canada and /
understand about go per cent are from
the states. Iowa settlers seem to pick
on the country adjacent to Milestone
as their domicile. Yours truly,
E. w, SOAR.

Railroads Have Trouble.

The confusion and uncertainty in
the yards of the local railroad this
Saturday forenoon were beyond
parallel. The switch tracks were
crowded with freight trains, the depot
was filed with weary passengers, and
the round house in the west end of the
yards was filled with dead engines
and perspiring engineers. Things did
not move at all. Three freight trains,
the regular and two extras, were in
the yards, neither the north nor the
south branch trains had gone out, a
fourth freight train came in from the
east and all these were here when the
east and west bound local trains (both
behind time) passed at this station.
The condition of affairs is distressing.
The difficulty appears to be the dis
position of the management of the
road to discharge men whose services
are almost indispensable and to re-
quire of those remaining =
is beyond their endurance to perform.
Help at the round house has been dis
missed and James Troy alone was left
to attend to the locomotives lodged
there. The work kept him on his feet
all day and far into the night and at
last nature rebelled and Troy went to
bed sick man. That was last night.
This morning the locomotives for
the branch trains we're cold and quiet
when the train crews came down to
make their runs, and it was necessary
for the engineers and firemen to build
the fires, get up steam and make ready
for their trips. The Griswold train
left the station at nine o'clock instead
OF 6:25 as it should, and the Audubon
train did not get away until after the
limited train was in from the east at
eleven. This train should have set
out at seven in the morning.
The crews on the freight trains side
tracked their cars when they got here
last evening and sought beds and
rest. Their labors had kept them up
so long that they could not do their
work. One of the men informed the
Telegraph that last night he was so
weary that he could scarcely distin-
guish the different colored lights on
the switches, and the signals sayered
and trembled before his eyes so that
he knew his brain was going to sleep
despite his efforts to keep it active.
1t was because OF this that the crews
notified the dispatcher's Office tina,
they would run no farther last night,
| and then went to bed. This morning
the fires were out in all their engine,
because of the sickness of Troy aad
several hours were consumed in gel
ting affairs in running order again.
The road management may know its
affairs better than outsiders do and
have sufficient explanation for the
course, but it seems strange that the
men who run the trains and freight
houses and the stations should work
so Id They cannot endure it long.
Trouble. sure to follow this false
econOmy

desire to have Gov. Cummins for a
