It seems that every American in Pekin has been murdered, and for this the United States should de- mand and obtain full reparation, but it must not’ be forgotten that the too-zealous Christian missionaries are the cause of the present state Of anarchy and it should be pressed upon them that in the future no army will be transported to China or any other country for their defense if they per- sist in antagonizing people who are hostile to their doctrines. Just think of a Republican news- jpaper hike the Cloquet Pine Knot folly of publishing such traitorous stuff as the above, The next thing we know, that paper will be/quoting the Declaration of Independence or some other antiquated and unimport- ant document to prove that a war of conquest is incompatible with a re- publican form of government. If it keeps on, the Pine Knot will be ad- mitting that people who do not wish to embrace our mode of existence should not be forced &to do so, and that the Monroe doctrine should work both ways—if we can keep a foreign power from tnffling with things in the western hemisphere, we should mind our own business and keep our fingers off things in the | Protect, eastern. LIND AND GOGOVERNMENT. i The Minnesota Democracy has now to undertake the task of naming a state ticket, and, in. view of the character and quality of the candida- tes named by the Republican conven- tion. the conditions were never fairer for a sweeping Democratic success, provided that the Democratic state convention selects the best men avail- ble for candidates. A wise, careful choice will win for the ticket such "| support from the. citizens of Minn- esota as will result in the electio. not only of the head of the ticket, as in 1898, but of every candidate upon it. Fitness and ability for the office must be the sole qualification of the nominees.” There must be no talk of geographfcal location or of national- ity, and a ticket should be presented to the voters which shall bear the names of candidates above reproach, and for which any man may be prou to vote. ‘Lhe Globe has no favorite candidates to urge upon the convention, but it would regard a failure to renomiate the present governor, John Lind, as an almost certainly fatal mistake. As a matter of fact, there does not appear to be any intention of nominating any other as the gubernatorial candidate. No other name than that of John Lind has been mentioned, and it is highly improbable that any other will be presented, It is therefore practial- ly certain that the honor of a renom- ination will be tendered to Gov. Lind, and it is seldom.that the high comp- liment has been so well deserved. His devotion to the duties of the high office he has so ably filled during the past year and.a half—duties which the peculiar circumstances of his election rendered singularly irksome and_ try- ing, owing to the failure of any other candidate on the Democratic ticket to secure election—has marked John Lind as a man possessing the noblest qualifications for the office. Hus con- duct has been of the most exemplary character, and his policy has been ruled by the wisest conservatism. Every official act has been controled by a sincere and intelligent regard for the best interest of the .state and the pockets of the taxpayers. ‘There has been no prodigality or lavish display in any direction, Gov. John Lind has remained the plain citizen—plain in habit, plain of speech and plain in purpose—that he was before he was given public office. ‘There is no doubt that he has earn- ed the confidence of thousaads ot his fellow citizens who refained from vot- ing for him in 1898 because they were strangers to his sterling qualities, and that his renomination will certainly result in his re-election, But it must be borne in mind that it is a severe task to place upon any man, fot a political party to send him single handed as its scle representative in the executive department of state govern- ment, Hense the greater necessity for the nomination of a set of candi- dates for the other officeswho shall stand so high in the estimation of the people as to insure tteir election with the man at the head of the ticket. The disorganization and noise of the Republican convention which convert, ed the delegates into a purposeless, leaderless rabble. and left the man easy prey for deiigning and unscrupulous politicians, must be carefully guarded against in the Democratic state con- qention, and every nomination should be made only after calm deliberation. Snap nominations must be avcided as one would avoid the plague, There was talk some time ago of | the disinclination of Gov. Lind to again be the candidate unless he could be assured that all the candidates on the ticket with him would recieve equal support with himself. It is only fair and just that he should be given such an assurance by the Democratic convention, and it could be made tangible by the nomination of only first-class men for the offices, John Lind may not desire renomi- nation. After his experiences of the past eighteen months he probably does not, but if he is given to under- stand that the Democratic party wants him, and that all the friends of | good, clean, economic government in the state want him, the Globe is of the opinion that he is not the man to decline the nomination and the duties and responsibilties it entails —St. Paul Globe. : ee Ee an. Idea i can. thine mga |g ita at MORMON PRIESTHOOD. ‘ts Influence Is Felt in Business, in Politics, and in Social Life. The priesthood can always rely-on the women... They. have been the strength of the church, even under that system of polygamy which made them “living martyrs.” They have the full right of suffrage, and none who is not in accord with the church authorities need look for their support. ‘The men are subject to a constant discipline that keeps them at all times in sympathy with the ambitions of the leaders, There are 1,500 Mormon misstonaries now in the foreign work of the church, the brightest of its young men, the fa- ture leaders in all matters. They aro compelled to sacrifice everything and to labor for two or three years far from home in the interests of their religion, says the North American Review. None who goes through this experi- ence ever forgets the power of the priesthood, and each understands that if he should show too great a spirit of independence he may be called again to make the sacrifice, No young man in the church may be married in one of the temples unless he is faithful and obedient to his superiors, and no young ‘woman would consider herself married in the sight of God unless she was “sealed” by the proper authorities. In business, in politics, in social life, ev- erywhere, the young man meets the church, and he must be of iron if he dares to stand out against it. Many have done so in the past, but they have been the exceptions. Their numbers have never been sufficient to offset the church itself. HER BRIDEGROOM’sS UNIFORM. She Wanted It to Be a Combina~ tion of an Admiral’s end a Generals, One of the young gentlemen who have just been appointed in the regular army was married only a few weeks ago, and his bride takes a great deal of interest in his uniform. He left his measure with a military tailor here the other day, and the next afternoon when she was out shopping she dropped in to give some instructions as to the man- ner in which it was to be trimmed, says a Washington letter in the Chicago Rec- ord. She told the tailor she did not like the ordinary uniform of a second lieuten- ant and desired to have her husband’s different. She wanted to have four bands of gold braid around the sleeve, like Admiral Schley has on his, and after critically examining all the shoul- derstraps she instructed the tailor to put on her husband’s coat a pair that had silver birds embrojdered on them, because they were prettier than any of the rest. The tailor tried to advise her that the regulations did not permit a second lieu- tenant to wear ‘he insignia of an ad- miral of the navy or those of a colonel in the army, but she declared that if he ‘would not make that uniform the way Bhe wanted she would have her hus ‘band patronize somebody else. PRAIRIE GIRL’S WEDDING. She Seldom Takes a Trip, But Goes Direct to Her New Home As the prairie girl has grown up with her training along practical lines, so she asks only of her lover that he shall be manly and true, writes Charles Moreau Uarger, of “A Girl’s Life on the Prairie,” in Ladies’ Home Journal “Thousands of acres of land do not make a fortune, and social degrees are practically unknown. The wedding ¥ nearly always at the bride’s home. Not once in threescore times is it at the church. The near relatives and a few dear friends are the guests. The bride’s white wedding gown is simply made. Bunches of goldenrod or roses deck the little parlor or sitting-room, and from the organ comes the wedding “march, Seldom does a groomsman or a bride’s attendant take part in the cere- mony, and more seldom is there a re- ception afterward. Fortunate indeed ere the bride and groom if they can es- cape a vociferous serenade, for the charivari and the bombardment of Tice and old shoes are well-established cus- toms on the plains. The papers usually add to the story of the marriages “After the wedding supper and con- gratulations the happy couple drove to their own home, which had already been fitted up for their occupancy.” CAPTURING STURGEON. —+ Moanted Russian Cussacks Fish Through the Ice ef Swift Rivers, OE, To fish while mounted on the back of a horse probably would be beyond the capacity of gentle Izaak Walton of de- lightful memory, yet that is the way sturgeon is captured in the frozen rivers of the Ural mountains, Russian Cossacks fish in large bands, says a for eign paper. he vd gallop along until they reach the point in the rivers where the current has its swiftest flight. | There they dismount and cut into the ice until they have cleared a small pool of water which extends across the rapid current almost from one bank of the. viver to the other. A net is then sunk to the bottom of the stream and stretched across it at the open pool so that not a single fish can swim beyond its meshes. Then the horses are mounted and the Cossacks turn back and ride along the edge of the river for about four or five miles. Then the band’ wheels about and gallops rapidly along the ice-covered stream, making a pic- ture that would delight a Schreyer ora Fromentin. The loud cannonade caused by the beating of the horses’ hoofs on the surface of the ice terrifies the stur- UNTY AND VILLAGE OFFICERS COUNTY. Auditor.. Farrell Treasure Cc. Miller Sheriff... WV. ©.
