WORD TO RECREANT RE
PUBLICANS.

Some people. including men who
have been highly honored by the
republican party and the recipients
OF some of it's choicest favors, seem
to think that the party exists solely
for the purpose of putting and keep
ing them or their immediate friends
in office; and that if it fails to meet
their views in his respect they owe
it no allegiance and no support.
But they. will learn in time that
the Republican party has not de-
generated into the mere personal
machine with no higher purpose
than the mercenary aims of the
place hunter, which seems to be
their idea of it. 1t is organized and
maintained the best elements of
American citizenship to remote the
great principles and policies, the
lofty ideals of government and
achievement, which have made
the instrument of the most wonder
full all round progress ever witnessed
in the history of the race. Its
candidates come and 60 with each
successive season like the actors on
the stage. Its principles are per-
manent and it's ideals imperishable.
To promote It's success is, therefore,
to the good Republican the noblest
of patriotic duties and it's success is
only possible through the mainten-
ance OF its organic unity. Therefore
it is that it is fundamental law Of
party ethics that the defeated candi
date for a nomination before the
party convention shall yield I'M
reserved submission to the decision
of the tribunal to which he has
appealed, and give as loyal support
tosshis successful opponent as he
would have expected from the latter
under like circumstances. The
general observance of this law,
which applies as we'll to friends OF
the cadidates, IS as universally re-
cognized as essential to the organic
of the party and by all
sagacious politicians to their own
possible political success that tho
exceptions to it are very rare. The
motion usually made in q party con-
vention by the leader of the de-
feated forces to make. the nomina-
ton unanimous is graceful cecog-
milton of this fact.-Pioneer Press.

MISS ANNE DURfEE IS A BRIDE
Former Worthington Girl Marries NJ.
A. Gallup of St. Paul.

The home F. r. Durfee on Sixth
avenue was tho scene of quiet
but pretty wedding Wednesday
morning when Miss Anne Durfee
became the bride Of Milton A.

are from st. Paul, but the home of
the brides brother in this city was
chosen as the place for celebrating
the event.
The ceremony was performed at
II O'Clock and the bridal party, took
their position in a somewhat novel
way. The guests had arrived and
were COMPRISING about things in
general, while the bridal party and
the clergyman were exchanging
views and thoughts in another
room. Then George Wyckoff took
his place at the piano and began
family the fascinating Simple Amen,
a favor1te piece with the BRIDE, and
with the starting of the music the
party prepared for their position,
the piano meanwhile growing
louder until all were ready when it
ceased until after the service, and
the music was then resumed. The
Rev. c. H. Mcintosh, pastor of the
congregational church, read the
marriage lines.
The bride was attired in q beauti-
full gown of muslin de sole over
white silk and carried brides roses.
She had for her bridesmaid Miss
Alice b. Durfee, q sister, also of.
st. Paul. The groom wore a hand
some suit of black cloth. His best
man was Willard Mcintosh of Water
town, s. D.
Shortly after the ceremony Mr..
Wyckof again took his place ct the
piano and played the Bridal Chorus
from the Rose Maiden" white the
bridal party and guests were being
seated to an elegant wedding break
fast which was served in courses.
Mr.. Gallup is employed as city
salesman for the wholesale grocery
house of Griggs, Cooper & Com
pany of st.. Paul, and he also is a
nephew of Mr.. Griggs. Mrs.
Gallup former ~ lived in Worthing-
ton and moved to st. Paul about
fifteen years ago, where she has
since made her home. -

Washington, February s.-The senate to- day passed the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill without debate and then renewed consideration of the isthmian question. MT. Fulton spoke in support of the course of the administration in con- nection with the Panama revolt. and Mir. Carfnack and MT. Overman in opposition thereto. MT. Overman had not hither made known his position on the treaty. and his speech revealed the attitude of prob ably the last doubtful member of the sen- ate. The speech was MT. overman's maiden effort in the senate.
 MT. Overman announced his opposition to the canal treaty on the ground that the United States had violated the obliga tions of the provisions of the treaty of 1s46. He said the course of the United States in connection with the rebellion had the effect of tieing the hands and feet of Colombia, and added that in view of this there was no wonder that the

The imperial government, however, did not refuse, so long as the occupation of Manehuria lasts, to recog- nize both the sovereignty of the emperor of China in Manchuria, and also the rights acquired there by other powers through treaties with China. A declaration to this effect had also already been made to for egn cabinets.
 In view of this the imperial govern ment, after Charging it's representative at Tokio to present it's reply to the last proposal of Japan, was justified in ex- pecting the Toldo cabinet to take into account the considerations set forth above, and that it would appreciate the wish manifested by Russia to come to a peaceful understanding with Japan.

RED HERRING "SARDINES."
The Real Article Is Something with
Which the Average Person
Is Unfamiliar.

Comparatively few imported sardines
are sold in this country nowadays, yet
not one consumer in a thousand knows
the difference between the imitation and
the genuine, so nearly does the fish sold
for a sardine resemble the real sardine
in appearance and taste. Nine-tenths
of the ''s%ardines' come from Maine.
dozen places where the mock sardine
is prepared and boxed. The New York
Sun gives an account of the industry.
The business was begun long ago by a
couple of sharp and ~far-seeing New
Workers, who began to pack small her
ring in little wooden kegs and place
them on the market under the name OF
Russian herring" The venture was
most successful, but the men got the
idea there was more money still in
modelling the herring after the French
sardine.
A similar experiment had been tried
not long before. but it had turned out
to be a failure. 1t had been easy to pack
the Maine herring in olive oil and to
encase it in boxes which initiated the
French production. but the taste of the
herring remained unmistakable, and the
scheme failed. The New Workers.. how
ever. after a few trials. hit on a mixture
or blend of spices and oils for a packing
sauce, which made a "sardine" of a her.
ring and caused to spring up a gigantic
industry. "Sardines' are made not only
from common herring, but from young
sea trout.
The way the fish are handled at the
factory is a sight worth going to Maine
to see. When they have been piled in
heaps on long tables the cleaning be-
gins. The rapi6ity Of the work is won
derful. A seven-year-old girl can be-
head and clean rs herrings every minute
for ten minutes without a miss or a halt.
New York is the great wholesale CEN
ter for these Yankee ''sardines." One
Maine factory alone-and there are
others doing as large a trade-has made
and sold as many as 1000, 600 boxes OF
'~'sardines" in a year.
