Humor in Congress.
Representative Allen, of Mississippi,
must look to his laurels. There is a
new humorist in congress whose wit
is keen, whose sense of the ridicu
lous is acute and who tells a good
story in delightful fashion. Cushinan,
according to the Washington Post, is
tall and lank, of the Abe Lincoln style
of architecture, with legs so thin that
he himself says he has often been ar
rested for being without visible means
of support. Another quaint expres
sion is that he was once so poverty
stricken that he sewed buckshot in liis
summer coat to make it heavy enough
for winter wear. He bubbles over with
original sayings, and he utters them
in a spontaneous, unconscious way
that adds to their effectiveness. Mr.
Cushman is put down in the congres
sional directory as a congressman at
large, his state being without definite
congressional districts. Tlmt reminds
him of a story. He was once approach
ing a town where he was billed to
make a speech, and stopped at a house
on the outskirts of the town to get a
drink of water. He met the farmer's
■wife at the well. "What is the politi
cal sentiment around here?" asked
Cushman. "I dunno," said the wom
an. "I don't goto political meetings.
They say there is a congressman at
large, and I think the safest thing for
me to do is to stay at home."
The chief essential of success for a
young man is what the vast majority of
young men think about the least —that
is, good health and a sound constitu
tion, writes Edward W. liok, in Ladies'
Home Companion. That is the first
thing; nothing precedes it. In the bat
tle for success, that should be a young
man's first thought; not his abilities,
nor his work, but his health. That is
the basis; the corner stone of all. Abil
ities cannot bring health, but health
may, and generally does, develop abil
ity. A young man with splendid health
and average ability will outstrip every
time the brilliant young man who is in
poor health. With the former the one
strengthens the other; with the latter
the one constantly saps the other, and
less and less effort becomes possible.
In any success good health, and the
keeping of it, is the first and greatest
essential. Everything possible devel
ops from it.
The bravest heart is not always in
the man's breast. A pretty little story
ot the courage of a woman is now told
by the crew of the wrecked schooner
Ward, who were rescued a. few days
ago in midoeean when the vessel was
about to sink. For five days tliu men
had been at the pumps and for five
days the water had been gaining on
them. At last their courage left them,
and, leaving the puinps, they told their
captain that it was no use, and they
might as well die then as to wait a
few hours. Then the captain's wife,
Airs. John Kelsey, addressed the men,
told them that as long as life lasted
there was hope, and, going to the
puinps herself, she asked all men who
were brave to follow her. They went
to work with a will and within a few
hours were rescued by a parsing
steamship. Hers was genuine courage.
Mention is made of the fact that the
son of Potter Palmer, a millionaire sev
eral times over, has taken a position in
a Chicago bank as messenger at a sal
ary of one dollar a day. It is a good
thing for the boy, and a good thing for
the parents, as well. Hut one thing had
a bad look. It is said that the day the
boy appeared at his desk it was covered
with a big wreath of flowers. That was
wrong. It probably suggested to the
boy that the job was a sort of picnic, or,
as they say, a grand-stand play.
Commissioner General Ferdinand
W. Peck has appointed John Philip
Sousa's band as the official band of the
United States commission at the Paris
exposition. Mr. Sousa intended to take
his band to Europe next year any way,
and this will help his tour whether the
appointment carries any financial com
pensation with it or not.

REFORM OF DEMOCRATS.
llolti-n Ilccur«l of Hit' Ilecndent Pnrty
o£ Boodlera, Muddler* and Cal
uin 11 y llonlcri.
American citizens wlio have lived to
the years of discretion can recall many
pioniises of democratic political re
form. The oldest inhabitant has no
knowledge of an instance in which the
pledge lias been redeemed. There are
elements of evil in the democratic par
ty that invariably get to the top when
it is in control. It is historically so
everywhere, in the nation, in the
states and in municipalities. Where
it is strongest, as in New York city, it
takes the form of the Tammany ma
chine. When intrusted with all depart
ments of the general government the
democratic party stoned the only
president it elected in 40 years and
took up the creed of populism and de
based money. Deficits and business
paralysis marked its trail. To vicious
intentions it adds glaring incompeten
cy. It will not and cannot do what
is right and best. Its past record in
St. Louis has these distinguishing
marks to the full limit. This city
knows from experience that democrat
ic rule, 110 matter in what shape,
means low machine methods and cor
rupt rings in every department.
When this party of ancient and fish
like reputation comes forward to prate
ol refor"i its object- is clearly indi
cated. In the first place, it. never does
talk reform except in localities where,
as in St. Louis, it is on the losing side.
In such cases its pledges are lavish. It
throws out its tentacles for any sort
of combination that can help it to
votes. Third parties are its delight.
It promises political faddists the earth.
Egotists who pretend that they are
nonpartisans, and so naturally gravi
tate to the worst party, can always
tind assurances of democratic sympa
thy before an election. So can any
other variety of superfine crank. The
democratic party polls its own vote al
ways and scatters the opposition to
the greatest, possible extent. Its mis
sion is wholly accomplished when it
gets the offices. Then it settles down
to its traditional business of practical
polities, which, in its case, is a mix
ture of boodling and muddling. Aj
soon expect that, a cat will not return
to a back doorstep as that the demo
cratic party, as long as it retains its
identity, will be in any degree differ
ent from what it has been always.
It is a refreshing privilege to turn
from this vicious organization, with
its piled-up burden of misdeeds and
incapacity, to the republican party,
which keeps its promises and exercises
a power to correct what is wrong
within itself. The high standard of
republicanism has been maintained
from the first. An attempt to carry
the party down to the democratic level
could never succeed. Republican prin
ciples are constructive. Republican
platforms are carried out. If anyone
doubts it let him read the national
platform adopted in St. Louis in 1890.
It has been wrought into history.
Then turn to the democratic national
platform of 1892 and mark the con
trast of empty phrases and principles
repudiated four years later. For a
sample of how democrats govern a
state, look at Missouri! Thus it hap
pens, by processes of the simplest
logic, that the first essential step to
any reform is to shut out from the
movement the democratic party as
now conducted anywhere in this coun
try.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
EXPANSION IN THE SOUTH.
Sotilliern Stale* Tlint Are In Fnvnr of
the Policy of (lie Adminiu
tra t ion.
Those democrats who seek to com
mit their party to a policy of opposi
tion to expansion find little encourage
ment in the south. Senator Morgan has
declared that Alabama supports the ad
ministration, Clark Howell gave simi
lar assurances for Georgia. cx-Gov.
Stone told an interviewer how Missouri
stands. Stronger evidence than this is
found in the election of W. V. Sullivan
to tin- United States senate from Mis
sissippi. The Jackson correspondent
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
Hint. Mr. Sullivan owes his election al
most, entirely to his ardent advocacy of
expansion, ills election was a surprise,
for it had been arranged by the leaders
'o choose ex-Gov. Lowry, but the patri
otism of the congressman seemed to the
legislators to demand some such •<•-
ward. Sullivan was the only man from
Mi.-sissippi to support, tin- treaty with
Spain. When he voted with the re
publicans on that, question he was
roundly denounced by thousands of
Missi-sippians who are now among his
warmest admirers and praise him for
his attitude. This vote as much as
anything else was responsible for his
diction to Ihe senate. The reason for
Mississippi's attitude is that that state,
like the others of the south, has awak
ened to an appreciation of the value of
• lie markets of the east which were
opened by Dewey's guns. So .Missis
sippi, like Georgia, Alabama and Mis
souri. and Louisiana, is in favor of the
administration's policy in the east. —

AMERICA'S GOOD WORK.
Senator lie veridite'x Report on KAIHI
inu Condition!* in the I'liii
ilipiucH.
Next to the words of President Mo-
Kinley himself, the most impressive
spoken utterance that has been made
about the Philippines was the speech
of Senator Hevcridge, of Indiana, in the
United States senate chamber. It was
the senator's maiden speech. Though
a young man, his reputation as
an orator had become national. More
over, he had qualified himself by a re
cent visit to the Philippines to speak
with a knowledge which could not be
gainsaid nor scoffed at. And the time
was ripe in the senate for just such a
declaration .'is Senator Hevcridge made.
The speech, which was delivered in
the rhetoric and with the graces of an
orator, may be divided into four parts
of special interest to the American peo
ple: The discussion of the characier of
the Filipinos, of the immense possibili
ties in the possession of the Philippines,
of the duty of the American govern
ment, and of the obstacles p :t in the
way of the performance of that duty.
To those who romance without any
knowledge concerning the character of
the Malays of the Philippines, may be
commended the following description
by one who has seen the Filipinos and
who has traveled among their island
homes:
"They are a barbarous race, mortified by
three centuries of contact with a decadent
race. The Filipino is the South Sea Malay,
put through a process of SO years of super
stition in religion, dishonesty in dealing,
disorder In habits of Industry and cru< ity,
caprice and corruption in government, it
is barely possible that 1,000 men in all the
archipelago are capable of self-govern
ment In the Anglo-Saxon sense. My own
belief is that there are not 100 men among
them who comprehend what Anglo-Saxon
self-govc rnment even means, and there are
over 5.000,000 people to be governed.
"They must be dealt with as children, by
a strong and simple government."
About the stategic and commercial
importance of the Philippines Senator
Hevcridge said:
"To-day we have one of the three great
ocean possessions of the globe, located at
the most commanding commercial, naval
and military points in the eastern seas,
within hall of India, shoulder to shoulder
with China, richerln itsown resources than
any equal body of land on the entire globe,
and peopled by a race which civilization
demands l shall be improved."
Our duty:
"This war is like all other wars.' It needs
to be finished before it is stopped.
"It is not to serve the purposes of the
hour. It is not to salve a present situa
tion that peace should he established. It
is for the tranquillity of the archipelago
forever. It is for an orderly government
for the Filipinos for all the future. It Is
to give this probii m to posterity solved ar.d
settled, not vexed and involved. It is to
establish the supremacy of the Ame rican
republic ov. r the I'aclflc and throughout
the east till the end of time.
"Tin ocean does not s< pa rate us from the
field of our duty and endeavor—it joins us,
an established highway needing no repair
and landing us at any point desired.
"There is not now, and never wa3, any
possible course but ceaseless operations in
the field and loyal support of the war at
home. The new s that 60,000 American sol
diers have crossed the Pacific: that, if
necessary, the American congress will
make it 100,0'i(> or 200,000 men: that, at any
cost, we will establish peace and govern
the islands, will do more to end the war
than the soldiers themselves. But the re
port that we even discuss the withdrawal
of a single soldier at the present time, and
that we even d<•'.<a«.e Cie possibility of not
administering govennient throughout the
archipelago ourselves, will be misunder
stood and misrepresented, and will blow
Into a flame or."e more the fires our sol
diers' blooel has almost quenched."
The senator clearly and without
mincing words showed where flie re
sponsibility lay for continuing resist
ance to the brutal dictator whose plan
to massacre all the Americans in Ma
nila was luckily frustrated by the blun
dering haste of one of his followers.
Said Senator Hevcridge:
"American opposition to the war has been
the chief factor in prolonging it. Had
Aguinaldo not understood that in America,
even in the American congress, even here
in the senate, he and his cause were sup
ported: bad he not known that It was pro
claimed on the stump and in the press of
a faction in the United States that every
shot his misguided followers tired into the
breasts of American soldiers was like the
volleys fired by Washington's men against
the soldi, rs of King Grorge, his Insurrec
tion would have dissolved before it entire
ly crystallized."
There was a solemn stillness in the
senate chamber when the Indiana sena
tor said:
"To those whose voices in American have
cheered those misguided natives onto
shoot our soldiers down, I say that the
blood of those dead and wounded boys of
eiurs I.i on th ir hand:', and the flood of all
the years can never wash that stain away."
The issue is one of humanity against
inhumanity, of civilization against sav
agery. The American forces have
treated the Filipinos with the utmost
kindness and assassination has been the
return. The Malays should no more be
given unlimited control of the Philip
pines than should the Tndinns be given
control of this country, as the senator
pertinently observed.
The ad mi nis t ration is doing America's
work in the American way, and deserves
and will receive the approbation and
support eif the people.—Troy Times.

ADVISLD NOT TO BUY.
Naval O(IICCCM Fleporl Agniiikl (lie Pur
chase ol Submarine QCoat filollaiid.
Washington, Jan. 25. —Secretary
Long has received from the board of
naval construction two reports on the
Holland submarine boat. The Holland
Co. had offered to sell the Holland to
the government for $165,000; to em
body certain improvements in her and
sell her for $170,000, or to build tw i
new and larger boats for $170,000 each.
Four members of the board united in
a majority report favoring the rejec
tion of the propositions, based on the
fact that the company is now a delin
quent in the case of the submarine
boat Plunger, on account of which the
government has already paid s!t'.l.7l(i,
with no likelihood of her completion
in the near future. If the company
makes satisfactory settlement for the
I'lunger then the board will be willing
to build one of the larger boats, but
not to purchase the Holland.
The chief constructor. Admiral
llichborn, submits a minority report,
leclaring that the majority did not
give sufficient credit and encourage
ment to the enterprise of the com
pany. lie declares that the results ob
tained with I lie Holland were very sat
isfactory and that in view of the small
cost of submarine boats the govern
ment should accept the Holland and
order two larger boats.

Boston, Jan. 25.—The legislature
willing, within the next six months
the Fitehburg railroad, one of the
great transportation lines of New
Fiigland, which for "5 years has been
practically under the control of the
state of Massachusetts, will become a
part of l hi l lloston i_V Maine railroad
11111 will, if the desires of (iov. ( rane
ind his council, who sanctioned the
transfer, are fulfilled, prove of great
benefit to the city of lloston, as well
is to the state itself.
A i offer was made Wednesday to
the governor for the 50,000 shares of
tin- iMinmon stock of the road which
the state has held as security for cash
id'.;.need in the building of the 1100,-ac

In view of the proposed lease of the
lloston iX- Albany to the New York

garded as a shrewd business move.

New York, Jan. 25.—Among the
passengers who arrived Wednesday on
'he steamship C.'urityba from Neuvitas,
Cuba, were returning colonists from
I.a (lloria, all «ipparcntly discouraged
with their experiences in < üba.
Among the number were 11. S. Child

Illinois, and J. W. Welding, Chicago.
Mr. Sehauk stated that he had start
ed to reach I.a (lloria from Neuvitas,
bio he could not stand the hardships,
md after going half the distance turn
ed back. The land, lie said, after one
had paid six prices for it, could not be
worked for less than S4O an acre. Sev
eral years would be required to make
it productive and even then, unless
new facilities were constructed, there
would be no way of getting the pro
duct to a market without paying many
times its actual value for freight.
Alleged Swindler* Arrested.
Chicago. Jan. 25.—(iovernnient offi

charge of having swindled a number
of women in all parts of the country
by advertising that women were want

i'he correspondents were required to
make a deposit of $2 for supplies and
when they sent this money they were
given a small lot of material to em
broider. This work having been done
and returned to Chicago, word was

and that further supplies would be

A MINNESOTA FARMER DOES
WELL IN CANADA.
Virden, Manitoba, 18th Nov., 1899.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Minister of the In
terior, Ottawa, Canada.
Sir—Thinking' that my experience
in Manitoba might be both useful and
interesting to my fellow-countrymen
in Uh; United States who may be look
ing- to Manitoba and the North-West
with the intention of settling there,
1 have much pleasure in stating thit
through information received from
Mr. YV. F. McCreary, Immigration
Commissioner at Winnipeg 1 , I was in
duced to visit Manitoba in February,
1898. When I called upon Mr. McCreary
he spared no pains to give me all
the information, &c., in his possession,
the result of which was that I came
here with a letter of introduction from
him to the Secretary of the Virden
Hoard of Trade. That gentleman pro
vided me with a competent land guide
and alt ho' there was considerable
snow on the ground, I had no diffi
culty in selecting three homesteads
for myself and sons. Having made the
necessary homestead entries at the
Land Ofliee in Brandon, I returned to
my home in Lyon County, Minnesota,
and came back here in May following
accompanied by cne of my boys, bring
ing with us two teams of horses, im
plements, &c. Our first work was to
erect a temporary shanty and stable,
after which we broke and levelled 75
acres and put up 30 tons of hay. I
went back to Minnesota about 20th
July, leaving' my son here. I returned
in October bringing - my family with
mo. I found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality being
a strong clay loam with clay subsoil.
I.ast Spring 1 sowed 100 acres in
wheat, 50 acres in oats & barley (75
acres of this grain was sowed' on
"gobaek" plowed last Spring.) My
crop was threshed in October, the re
sult being over 2700 bu. of grain in
all. Wheat averaged 1.1 bu. p. ac. and
graded Xo. 1 hard but that which was
sown on land other than sod ("go
back") went 24bu. p. ac.
To say that I am well pleased with
the result of my first year's farming
operations in Manitoba does not ade
quately express my feelings, and 1
have no hesitation in advising those
who arc living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, il
they are willing to do a fair amount
of work. I atn 10 miles from Virden,
which is a good market town, and 1
miles from Hargrave where there are
two elevators. This summer I erected
a dwelling house of native stone and
bought a half-section of land adjoin
ing our homesteads for which I paid
a very moderate price. There are still
some homesteads in this district, and
land of fine quality can be purchased
from the Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. at
$."..50 p. ac. on liberal terms. Good
water is generally found at a depth of
from 15 to 20 ft. I have 175 ac. ready
for crop next year.
The cost of living here is about the
same as in Southern Minnesota. Rome
commodities are higher and others
lower in price, but the average ia
about the same.
I remain.

There is fnore Catarrh in this gectioli ot
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .F.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials. Address F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 7!>c.
Hall's Family Pills are the best.
