their vicinity. The Commercial Club
OF that little city got together a pre-
einct exhibit for the County Fair
Ills year and when the judges had
finished their inspection Of all the

the lions share of prizes. The fol-

worl knows all about it. and here is
case where the ADLER man gets it in
the neck.
The young man Who thinks he is
the whole thing in this world may
have better opinion of himself than
mis- neighhors.
The less one knows the surer and
quicker ne is to quarrel with all who
differ with him. 1t Is sn awful thing
to know a LIT of things that aren't
so.
1t is exceedingly strange. the num-
Der of new laws the legislature thinks
it must enact every two years, Laws
that are of no earthly use and but
cumber up the statute DO ks of the
state. The man who secures the
repeal of fool, laws is more to be
honored than he who secures the en-
actment of hundred laws.
Whether Isaac Stephenson is elect
ed or not to the United States senate
to succeed himself, it is safe Co pre-.
dict, that two years hence, he will
spend mis- money freely to demonstrate
his appreciation Of the gratitude of
his dear friends, whose heel was rails
ed up against him, the TREND whose
political fortune he made by the
lavish expenditure of money in bis
behalf.
The postoffice department has en-
tered into q conspiracy to injure The
country printers by selling stamped
envelopes with a business address
printed thereon, at figures much less
than could possibly be done and which
may account for the deficit to some
extent in the postoffice department.
By it's unwarrented and monopolistic
pulley, the government is taking mil
lions of dollars annually out of the
earnings of the job printers in the
land, and it should be. discoL tinued at
once.
If Senator Blame cannot substan-
tiate his charges against Senator
Stephenson and others, he is a!colossal
liar and deserves the execratlon
IF all honest men. The practice
which has obtained in this state for
the past few years by enfeavoring to
ruin men politically by defamation
has had its run and the people are
getting wise. The writer has no
interest in Senator Stephenson, who
was not his choice for the senator
ship, but he believes in honest polit-
ical methods and fair play. He re-
c.ived a plurality of the votes cast
at the primary election and is en-
titled to the Office as would have beer
either Cook, Hatton Or McGovern
under the same conditions.

THERE MUST BE A CHANGE.

THERE MUST BE A CHANGE.
Postmaster General Meyer has
caused to be sent to each member of
the popular branch of congress from
this state, letter, informing them
that the appointment Of fourth class
postmasters in their respective dis
tricts had been placed under the
civil seyrice rule, and that list of eli
gibles for the officeshad been prepared
and that hereafter all appointments
would be made from such lists. Thus
we see that contradiction power IN
the general government continues and
in time all powers will be- vested in
the federal government, condition
undreamted of by our forefathers.
With civil service in state and nation,
it Is time for political revolu-
tion and~a return to democratic ideals
and the guarding of the rights
of idlviduaIs and communities.
1.-THE power of government in the
hands of the few is a dangerous
thing and that is whittier we as a
people, have been drifting the past
forty years. During this time colossal
fortunes have been amassed by few
for men who have been running the
government by proxy and the rights
OF the people ignored. Unless there
is a chandge in the near future and
we get back TO first principles there
will be a new party placed in power
and it is liable 20 he the social dem
ocracy which contends fur the rule of
the masses rather than that Of a

A dozen or more bills have been
intoduced in the Legislature to amend
the primary election law-making it
more Intricate and complex than the
law at the present time. The best
thing that can be done with the law
ia to repeal it and let the people gov

caucus and the convention. The
services Of better men were secured
and poor man of moral worth and
ability stood show. At the last
primary election in this state there
was spent by candidates for state offices

a halt million of dollars, in many
cases more than the salary, of the
office to which the candidate aspired.
Will men under such circumstances
be hunest? They may be, but it is
doubtful. Then look at the taxes in
this state. In few more years I'M

A bill has been INTRODUCED in congress
to erect summer residenc for the
president and appropriating $3.50, 600
for that purpose. With the fact
staring bthe country in the face that
bonds must be issued by the govern
ment to raise the funds with which to
pay deficits caused by extravaganza,
the man who introduced the bill,
evidently belongs to the jackas sorder.
And then, it is an attempt to ape
