NOW FOR THE SENATE

The democratic house of rep
resentatives is receiving con-
gratulations on the farmers free
list bill. The bill p d the
house by vote of 236 to 109.
Every democrat voted for the
bill and they were reinforced by
twenty-four republicans. These
republicans who were brave
enough to greak from their party
and vote their convictions are de-
serving of high credit. Public
sentiment is so clearly in line
with this free list bill that it is
difficult to understand why any
senator not controlled by special
interests would oppose it. 1t is
to be hoped that the senate will
pass the measure without un.
necessary delay.

BANCROFT AND PEOPLES RULE

George Bancroft, the eminent
historian and publicist, was a
sincere democratic democrat who
had an abiding faith in popular
government. In an oration de-
livered before the democracy of
Springfield. Mass. July 4 1886,
he gives an interesting and in
structiun delineation Of til e
tory, whig and democrat OF his
time. If stand-pat republican be
substituted for tory add insur-
gent for Whig it will fit o n
ditions of our time as well:
ITO the tory. law is an express

it is the protection of privilege,
to democracy it is declaration

tolerates no elective franchise;
the whig gives votes to none but
men of property; democracy re-
spects humanity and struggles
for universal education and uni
versal sufsrage. The tory bids
the suffering poor gather the
crumbs that fall from the table:
the whig says:
BE We clothed, be We fed," but
allows no obligations, democracy
holds it a duty to soothe t h e
mourner and to red e m the
wretched. The tory looks out
for himself; the W h i g for his
claim; democracy takes thought
for the many. The tory adheres
to the party Moloch; t h whig
still Worships at the shrine of
Mammon; democracy is pratical

1t would take a gifted pen in

brilliant and convincing char
acterization. 1t is true in every
word and in every implication
and it as perfectly describes

as it does those which the great
historian had Immediately before
his vision.
But in what association does
the reader find himself? Is he

for property rights or for human

MISS KELLEY
AGAIN LEADS

The Piano Contest is drawing
to close and the last five days
will be the most exciting of the
entire campaign. On count
Wednesday night which is the
last before the close of the con-
test, Miss Kelly took the lead
again from which place she has
only lost on one count. She is
48, 245 votes ahead of Miss Low
dermilk. The others have made
considerable gains and there is no
assurance that the two leaders
have got the piano by any means.
Remember that the Contest
closes promptly at 3'oclock, We'd
nesday, May 81, and after that
time no votes will be received.
The girls that remain in the con-
test until the end will receive 10
per cent of all the subscriptions
that they have brought to this
office, except the one that gets
the prize.
We are glad to know that the
contest has gone this far without
even a jar, and trust that it
will close the same way. We
told you that we were going to
give away a good piano and we
are keeping our word and when
we deliver this piano to the win.
ner there will be no claim upon
it whatever. We have been
honest in this matter and believe
every one else has as far as we
have been able to see.
We can onlG say to those in
terested, get busy for your choice
for you have only a few more
days left. This is a present that
dose'nt come to every girl in the
community and you should do
your best to see your choice get
it.

Whereas, there seems to be an
epidemic of smallpox in Prescott,
nd as a protective measure
against it's spreading it is neces-

sanitary condition as it is possible

of Prescott | designate Thursday
and Friday, June 1st and 2nd as
Clean Up Day in Prescott, and
request that euery one in the city
clean up these two days their
premises, both front and back
yards, cutting all the weeds in
the yard and about the place,
also on all vacant lots that you
may own or have in your control.
The city teams will haul all
rubbish that you get together on
these two days without any cost
to any one.
Now let US all both from the
standpoint of pride and public
safety to our health lay aside our
business for two days and clean
