Training for the White House.

It is time the old-fashioned man
had a president of his own, and Jud-
son Harmon appears at the critical
moment to supply the demand. We
have had candidates who knew so
much about the tariff and finance that
it gave them a headache to unload it,
and we have had candidates who were
strong for the old soldier and candi-
dates who were right there with an
aggressive foreign policy, but who ex-
cept Harmon has worked himself into
the presidential class as a champion
horseshoe thrower? Harmon pitches
quoits in a way to make the village
champion take notice. Further, he
delights in the sport. Did any man
who ever sat on the shady side of the
village blacksmith shop and watched
a championship game imagine for an
instant that the winner could do any
wrong If there is left in this tainted
land a heart without guile such
man bears it. Furthermore, his judg-
ment of distances acquired in throw
ing horseshoes. is matched only by
his Judgment in other matters. The
Democrats can get no more compelling
political literature than picture of
old Jud Harmon, with his suspenders
down, pitching horseshoes on the vii
lage green.-Chicago News.

FRon o7HER PENS
NAMES AND PLACES.

The way in which names come to be
applied to towns and cities has always
been a subject of interest t. the curl
Gus. In early times, among all peo-
pies, the names were in a manner de-
scriptive, and esignated place where
a river flowed, where such and such
tree grew bundantly, and the like.
In England, not few places received
their names from the. fact that the
Romans once had a camp nearby, the
Latin word castra being modified to
Chester or fitted as an ending to some
other name. Many of these names
were transplanted to America, and
especially in New England and we
have here in New Hampshire the IA
miliar names Of Chester. Manchester,
Winchester, Dorchester, Rochester,
Lancaster, Chichester and SO on. The
cases are somewhat rare in New Eng
land in which a name was built up
from parts Of two others, Winsted.
however, being a we'll known example
of the sort, the names of the old Con-
necticut towns of Winchester and
Barkhamsted being cut up for the pur-
pose The news that Mexicali had
been captured by the Mexican rebels
under Leyva recalled the fact that
the town, which is not far south Of the
California border, was named from
Mexico and California The same
thing was done for 2 town on the
northern side of the line. but the
names were transposed with Calexico
as the result.-Mancheste Union.

POWER OF PUBLIC OPINION.

New evidences arise daily that pro-
gressive ideas regarding corporations
are getting into the inner circles of
high finance. George NJ. Reynolds,
president of the biggest bank in Chi
cago, and next to; the largest in the
United States, declared in favor of
government securities, in testifying be-
fore the railway securities commission,
which is investigating the subject.
Mr. Reynolds spoke of a changing
public sentiment and he said that ''it
is the desire of the moneyed interests
more and more to conform to the die
-tates of public opinion" Similar
opinions have been voiced recently by
many of the men Of large affairs. in
Guiding George W. Perkins, E. H.
Gary, W. D. Hines and w. c. Brown
Clearly no intelligent man in America
can fail to realize that public opinion,
thoroughly aroused, is power which,
soon or late, must. dominate all other
influences in this country, and it is
just as clear that public opinion is
unalterably and overwhelmingly work
ing toward holding all big corporations
to strict accounting alike to their
patrons and to their stockholders

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb 24.--Wheat prices wert
steady to q shade flrmer at the open
ing and the market has been of very
much Quieter character today, with
smaller fluctuations. Local profession
ais continue to look for reaction after
the recent decline and every item
which could be bullishly construed was
emphasized. The general position re-
mains unchanged, and as far as local
demand is concerned there Is no i'm
provement either in price or inquiry.
The steadiness in today's market was
natural, after severe decline, but the
rallying power seemed feeble. The
sharp decline in the security market
Is hardly conducive to bull specula
tion In any commodity, especially when
the circumstances surrounding such
commodity are as adverse as they seem
to be now in the worlds wheat situa-
ton.

George Sade, the third vice presi-

usual visit to Fargo.

Mr.. Slade talked to a number of the
prominent residents of the city re-
garding crossings along the N. p, at
Fifteenth and Thirteenth streets. Just
to what extent this subject was taken
up is not known, as everybody seems
to be mum regarding their talk with
Mr.. Slade. Agent Johnson also re-
fused to say anything regarding the
matter today.
Mr. Slade arrived in his private car
which was attached to No. 6, and left
on No. 4. He was accompanied by w.
Fl. Wilson, assistan. to the third vice
