COL. YOUNG FOR GOVERNOR

We take pleasure in nominating Col.
LATE Young for Governor of the North
Pole state, of which he writes so elo-
quently in the following article for the
Daily Capital:
THE North Pole having been discov-
cred by an American, is an American
territory. DR.. Cook reports that there
are 10000 square miles of level country
around the pole. If this is true, the An
nexationists must get busy, because
North Pole Territory No. 1 will be an
nexed Then it will not be long until
the North Pole will be state with two
senators and one representative. The
people of the. North Pole will have to
determine whether they will stand by
those old moss backs, Cannon and Al
drich, or whether or not they will be up
to date insurgents. The new-North
Pole territory or state will bring its re-
sponsibilities, and also unhappiness to
the anti-imperialists But the American
people in general will welcome the new
discovery. The star spangled banner
was undoubtedly left to occupy the land
until somebody else arrives.
But think of the mileage from the
North Pole to Washington

PROSPECTS For PROSPERITY

Now that the tariff bill passed by a
republican congress and signed by a re-
publican president is out of the way
the indications are that our country
will have q season of increased and pro-
longed prosperity. Bradstreets review
says that trade shows further expan-
sion. Industrial outputs are being in
creased and assumptions are reported by
concerns which have been closed In a
nutshell, trade is good. Industry, par
ticularly in iron and steel, is active, out
put close to normal, prospects pleas

Great Change in Farm Life.

The dull silence that hung over that
New England dinner-table has been lif-
ted of late. 1t is gone like the dew in
the sunlight of the new social infiu-
ences The isolation of the farm was
the chilling cause that drove men into
the cities. Now, by telephone and free
mail delivery, all the warm world cur
rents are being carried to the country
and are vitalizing the rural community
into life that is rich and abundant in
the variety of its interests. A real
heart hunger has been answered Over
hill and down dale flashes the impulse
that electrifies existence with the thrill
of human life touching other human
ife.-The DelineatOr for Sept

Another Chautauqua Deficit

The Atlantic Chautauqua came to u
close Sunday night and with it a big
deficit. While all bills have not been
received and audited and any definite
action will not be taken regarding an
other chautauqua until the meeting of
the board of directors, it now seems rs
if the deficit will be 100000 This
amount will be taken care of by funds
left over from former years, but in any
event the condition is deplorable one
The chautauqua attending public on the
other hand has been well pleased with
the attractions, all of which were good
without exceptions. Messenger.

DIR. Cook to an audience rs formal

while royal audiences cannot, according
TO etiquette, be made public, il is said
that DIR. Cook made such AN impression
ON the king that his majesty immedi,
ately instructed the court chamberlain

him.
The king invited Dr. Cook to meet
him only after having the government
make the closest possible investigation
into the merits of his story. An the

their opinions of Doctor Cooks claims

Rat-biscuit Dangerous

Among our Dakota friends is A. p.
Amundsen, editor of the Cotton Courier.
In his last paper he has the following,
which we reproduce rs warning To
other people:
We are glad to report that our little
boy Percy and Mr. j O. Berdahl's little
hoy Elmer who last Wednesday after
noon had found some rat biscuits and
ate enough of them to kill fifty men,
have fully recovered from the effects
The only thing that saved their lives
was that they had eaten enough TO make
them sick before the poison took effect.
We have not been able to discover
where they found these biscuits because
both families have never had them ON
the place. This is another warning to
people that keep poison around to ba
sure to keep il where children cannot
find it,

AS some people may not know there
is law compelling them to send deaf
or blind children to school, we quote
the following from the Iowa statutes:
Sec. /. Children, residents of the

Orthodoxy.

Editor National Tribune: l. Who was
the Whig candidate for President in
1886? 2. In defining Unitarianism, or
stating what it is, was not the term
orthodoxy twice used in a recent issue
of The National Tribune? Now. please
tell us what orthodoxy is, or what does
the term orthodoxy mean Wv. 3. Fer
guson.
There were four Wing candidates in
1S36-Wm- Henry Harrison, Hugh L.
White, Daniel Webster and Willie P.
Mangum. Harrison carried seven
States, White two, and Webster and
Mangum each one.
Orthodoxy is rather broad term,
and it has been wittily said that "ortho-
doxy is my belief and heterodoxy is
your belief" Nowadays it is most COM
monty used in a broad, general sense
to embrace the doctrines held by the
Roman Catholic and most of the Protes-
tant denominations in common; that is.
the Trinity, the fall and redemption of
man and the value of the Sacraments.
Unitarianism is not orthodoxy in this
sense, because it denies much that is
affirmed by the other churches.-Editor
