A Resting Place.

The country's always somewhere
Howe'er the city grinds,
Cool, grassy fields are waiting
Howeer the dust cloud blinds,
The oaks we knew aforetime
Are each one in their place,
And butterflies drift past them
And cool cloud shadows race.
Howe'er work mars the pattern
Of things we planned to do,
Howe'er dreams OF our dreaming
Lag in the coming true,
The country waits off yonder
With balm for work-worn hearts
Vistas of blowing blossoms
To soothe the eye that smarts.
Howe'er the world misuse us,
Howe'er the years shall pile
Their burdens on our shoulders,
Out yonder all the while
The country waits to greet us
With things we used to know,
The blossom-sprinkled uplands,
Tree branches bending low.
Life can not be all futile,
We scarcely dare to fail
When somewhere way out yonder
The calling Of the quail
Rings clear across the morning,
And while the distant wood
Waits with its shadows for US
The world is always good.
And there are laughs Of children
To meet us down the way,
And the gold Of the sunset
Wipes all the dun and gray
Out of the world before us,
And, howe'er we shall fare,
Whate'er our climbs or stumbles
The country's always there.

That Surprise PARTY,

An Atchison man who was the sub
ject OF a surprise party recently went
to see a lawyer. He says the people
did not bring refreshments, and he
was advised by the lawyer hat the
bill for refreshments he was compelled
to buy a be collected from the wom-
en- who got up the party. The lawyer
says that the legal principle is well es-
tablished that refreshments should be
taken TO a surprise party. The result
VII be watched with interest. There
lis no law to compel a man to provide
a lap lunch for his neighbors on a
moments notice, and then be abused
because there is only one kind of cake.
The lawyer also says that exemplary
damages can be recovered. We don't
know what that means, but the lawyer
is quite certain that they can be had

M'CLEARY ON TARIFF REVISION.

J. T. McCleary, in his joint debate
with Mr.. Hammond at Pipestone last
Saturday night, made a careful and
specific statement of his position on
tariff revision, In reply to a charge
by Mr.. Hammond that he had not
met the issue squarely. He said:
"If I am elected I shall favor revi,
sion of the tariff by an extra session
of congress. do not want any one
to think that I avoid or evade
this question. AS to the nature
of that revision, I stand in
accordance with the republican plat
form, making the measure of protec-
tion the difference in the cost of
production plus reasonable profit to
home manufacturers. A commission is
now at work getting facts as to this
difference, and will give congress the
best information obtainable. If any
schedule is found higher than this
measure, l am in favor of reducing It.
If any is found lower, l would raise it,
and in this I am in accord with Mr..
Taft as stated in his acceptance speech
81 challenge Mr.. Hammond to say
that he is in favor of reducing the
tariff on wheat, butter, eggs, barley
and WOOL"

FOR COUNTY OFFICES.
M'ClEARYs COMPLETE VICTORY.

Here is an extract from The Luverne
journal dealing with the McSleary-
Hammond debate in that city on Mon
day night. The Journal declares that
Mr.. McCleary won complete victory
over his opponent:
In the Joint debate here last Mon
day night between Hon. Jamse T. Nc
Cleary, republican candidate for con-
gress,y and Hon. Winfield s. Hammond,
democratic candidate, Mr.. McCleary won
complete victory. This is conceded
even by Hammond's own partizans here.
Indeed it was plain to be seen that
even Hammond himself realized it.
Hon. f. H. Garfield was the modera-
tor of the meeting He explained to
the great audience that filled to over
flowing the big opera house, the condi-
tions of the debate. He then intro
duced Mr.. McCleary to speak for one
hours, Exactly one hour" as Senator
Garfield said.
In the hour allotted him, McCleary
made the best speech ever heard in
Luverne covering the questions of re-
sponsible party government, tariff re-
vision, the trusts, and the guaranty of
bank deposits. In regard to Speaker
Cannon. he said: 81 recognize the right
of a district to instruct its represen-
tative in COMPRESSION any matter on
which it has reached conclusion: am
ascertaining the Judgment of the peo-
pie of this district in relation to Mr..
Cannon and propose to be governed
by it." L.. Ike ru.
Mr. Hammond was then introduced
by NJ. O. Page of Beaver Creek, to
speak for an hour and quarter eX-
actly' Mr.. McCleary's brilliant speech
had evidently taken the wind out of
Mr.. Hammond's sails. He labored on
for fifty-eight minutes and asked anx-
iously if his time wasn't up. 'No."
answered Senator Garfield, 'you have
seventeen minutes more" In a dazed
sort of way Mr.. Hammond undertook
to 90 on. But in nine minutes he gave
up, leaving eight minutes of his time
unused. He was evidently call in"
Mr.. McCleary then closed the debate
with fifteen minutes of the best kind
of talk. When he concluded, there
was nothing left of Hammond. 1t was
the most crushing defeat ever admins
tered to a man in Luverne. McCleary's
friends are iubilant. They feel sure that
he will carry Rock county by several
hundred majority.

WHAT FARMERS LOST.

Not only has the farming industry
reached degree of prosperity under
republican rule which would have
seemed incredible a few years ago, but
there, is abundant indication that pres
ent prosperity will be far exceeded
should republican administration con-
tinue.
1t is not necessary to guess at what
might happen should Bryan admins
tration be installed at Washington.
The change for the worse for the
farmer, as for American workers in
every line of activity, when Cleveland
succeeded Harrison in 1893 indicates
very plainly what the farmer could
expect should the American public be
treated to another dose of democratic
misgovernment.
The figures are from the records
both republican and democratic, OF
the department of agriculture at Wash
ington. They are simply public rec
ords But they appeal to American
farmers with a force that no oratory
hdH cqudi. hcfc tHcy are.
The farm value of the corn crops for
the four years of Cleveland's first ad
ministration, from 1885 to 1888, aggre.
gated $2,57O,0OO,OOO. In the four years
of the republican (Harrisonl admins.
tration which followed the farm value
of the corn crop aggregated $2,s3l,.
100000 an increase in value of more
than $260,OOO,OO over that of this
crop under the preceding Cleveland ad
ministration.
Then followed four years more Of
Cleveland and democracy, and during
those four years of democratic rule
the farm value of the corn crop aggre
gated s2,ls2, 100000, decrease Of
100000 from the aggregate valu,
during the four years of republican
administration which had just pre-
coded.

James T. McCleary as the special
friend of the dairy, the editor of The
Northwestern Agriculturist will freely
explain that the article referred to,
was at first planned to appear on our
editorial page as general editorial, but
by reason OF Mr.. Slator's e&traor-
binary occupation as head of the dairy
exhibit at the state fair that week
he was unable to send us his usual
dairy copy, hence to help him out in
his work, we shifted the article from
the editorial page to the dairy page,
as it was dairy matter.
The editor of The Northwestern
Agriculturist assumes all responsible
ity for all articles that appear in any
of the paper and is un-
der no obligations to any political
administration which hampers The
Northwestern Agriculturist in express
sing itself freely upon topics of such
direct concern to dairy and agricul-
tural interests.
We took up this fight of the dairy
against Tile OleO lHJeIcSJS years ago.
We recognized your valuable services
in congress when the Grout bill was
pending and, in fact, the portrait cut
of Yourself surrounded with butter
tubs and separators, which we used
last September 5 in connection with
our endorsement, was one which we
had had made years ago at the time
you were battling for the creamery.
in congress. We have no reason to
lessen our appreciation, since then,
of the Importance to dairy interests
of having such open strong cham
pions in congress as Hon. James T..
McCleary.
The oleomargarine forces are al
ready lining up to reopen the battle
in next congress, as indicated by the
article in Leslie's Weekly to which
we referred. Hence we deem your
election doubly important from a
dairy standpoint now. Yours truly,

Agriculturist.

1t appears, however, that the wealth

All he has to say is that long dis

it is very probable that the only way

BUTTER IN POLITICS
P. V. Collins Explains The Publication and
Use of the Slater Letter.

In our September issue, in the
dairy department, we advocated the
nomination of Hon. James T. Nc
Cleary in the second Minnesota Con-
gressional district, for Congress. We
did so especially by reason of his
championship of dairy interests against
the oleomargarine forces, when he
was in congress, in the fight for the
passage of the Grout bill taxing
oleomargarine.
The article appeared in our dairy
department, ont it does not follow
that the department editors person
ally write all that appears in their
respective columns. This particular
article was written by the editor of
the paper, P. V. Collins, and it repre-
sents the well established policy of
this paper, in behalf of the dairy.

men of the fight which the oleomar-
garine manufacturers are making for

politicians in this district. am add
