QUAY, THE REFORMER.

The Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, of PENNSYLVANIA
Is engaged III a great work That he does not know if
does not in the least matter for the result is likely to be
the same He is striving with effective might for the
reformation OF the close corporation known as the United
States senate.

his efforts III the reform line AS matter of fact there
are people i'll his home state who would scott if Ne
should assume the pose Of the reformer But God moves
IN mysterious way his wonders perform" and Sena-
tor Quay has become instrument in the hands of Prov
dence to bring about change in the conduct of public
affairs i'll the senate.
Day by day Quay obstructs public business in order
to force his omnibus statehood bill Day after day the
senate yields to Quay for be it known the senate is alto

not possible to apply cloure the member from Penn

The senate proceeds by consent of the members the
house Is governed by rules Whatever may be said of
the rules of the house. however tyrannca they may be;
from the point of view of the minority must be con-
ceded that the popular body does business-whch the
senate does not.
The outcome of the good work that being done bv
Quay will be the reformation of the methods of doing
business i'll the senate. That must come in time for
though the of the United States like all great

NEED OF GOOD ROADS.

Every thoughtful citizen of Minnesota is willing to
encourage any good roads movement that promises
actual results economically obtained The advantage
and profit to community of good roads have been DEM

roads, and the good roads for given amount OF
money is not we'll defined. Experts have shown the
best kind of roads for given cOndtons that is KIND
of road for sandy district another for swampy dis
trict another for muddy district and The mat
ter be further discussed is the method of raising the
money and expanding it judiciously.
Representative Nyquist, of Blue Earth has intro

$1,000 for each county in the state This money be
available when the township directly interested has paid
$1,000 for the construction Of definite roads, and the
that is the expense of the construction of good roads
shall be borne III equal parts by the township the county
and the state. Certain definite rules mustbe observed in
the construction OF roads for which aid is sought
This division of the expense of good roads seems
rather fair Good roads Of benefit first Of all to the
immediate resident along the road-to the farmers who
haul their crops and drive their stock market the

money for good roads 1t is permanent that
will bring large returns for years if the work done
under proper direction and honestly Unless some men,
Der or interested person member can suggest
better method than Representative Nyquist's there
should be opposition to it.

he never had seen. Some people are
very lucky as to their Relatives.
The Man who lived in the Wicked
Metropolis was named Sanford and the
Cousin who lived out In the Woods
was known as LATE, although his real
Name was Lafayette.
Every Christmas, Sanford would
send some kind of a stingy Gift and
then Lafe would retaliate by shipping
in a fat Turkey for Thanksgiving.

OUR DISPLAY AT ST. LOUIS.

The Globe is quite of opinion with the Joint
committee Of the legislature that 100000 is enough
money for the Minnesota display at the worlds fair to
be held in St. Louis That of money udiciousv
and economically used, will provide an exhibit ADEQUATE
in every respect.
There is element of doubt as to the uti1itv and
prohtabeness of such expostons the one to be held
The United States a whole isn't in need Of population
III excess of the normal increase and an exhibit Of
American goods in the United States not seen BY peo

mai traction of the whole attendance In the first place
foreigners haven't the money travel on and if they
had they would prefer to go Paris Berlin London or
egners come to the United States they come to stay
bringing with them their worldly possessions.
AS spectacle for people, of course the

years since there has been display of such proportion
as to entte to be called national affair Since then
the people have become better off, they have money to

Upon your tempting, velvet cheek,
When you have been a-baking bread
Your hair is golden. thick and fine,
In cleaning coil, and curl and loop.
And best of all, On, one divine!

When KipIing takes his pen in hand
He may turn out a screed
That will be seen in every land
And mighty kings will heed.
He may produce a vagrom rhyme.
With every grace bedight,
But what he writes at any time
VIII please the Kiplingite.
It may be something which will ring
With bugle and with drum,
Where dusty soldiers hoarsely sing
Their chorus as they come;
It may be something sonnet like,
All fanCiful and light
Whatever theme his pen may strike
VIII suit the Ktplingite.
When Kipling takes his pen In hand
He looks across the world,
And when the broad expanse Is scanned
The ink is swiftly hurled
Kings on their thrones or wifey's kin
Are equal in his sight;
He may be sage or harlequin
And please the Kfplingite.
