WE NEED STATESMEN.
The leaderless wrangling, total
indecision and lack of unity on
the Dart of our national letnsla -
tors evidences the fact that the j
country is without a great law'
maker. Nowhere is there a sign :
of broad statesmanship. No !
man has risen out of the chaos of
discussion strong enough to im
press upon congress a sense of the
unparalleled injury inflicted upon
the nation while local politicians
are dickering for compromises.
Twice within a year congress
has had to deal with issues in
volving fundamental principles
of political and financial policy.
Twice the industries and com
merce of the nation have been
wrecked because of the divided
and contentious condition of con
gress. Self-seeking political
traders stand firm for their own
section and let the country at
large go to the devil.
The senators from Colorado
insist upon debasing the money
of the United States in order to
protect her silver mines. The
national banks fight against pop
ular loans to strengthen the gold
reserve so that their special in
terests may not be impaired.
The farmers demand an income
tax to cripple millionaires in
cities. The sugar growing
power in the South is at war with
the sugar refining power in the
North. And so it goes through
the entire list. The interests of
a suffering public are sacrificed
to satisfy a selfish desire to bene
fit some particular section.
Mr. Cleveland transgressed the
spirit of the constitution, which
does not contemplate any inter
ference in legislaskm by the
president except in a manner
plainly set forth, by the publica
tion of a letter which was unqes
tionably intended to influence
both the senate and house of rep
resentatives. He may have had
a legal right to send such a mes
sage to Mr. Wilson and to have
it read in public, but he over
stepped the moral boundaries of
his legitimate sphere of influence
to lay down in such peremptory
language a line of action for a
committee or congress, urging
one chamber of the national leg
islature to disagree with the
other chamber. The president
is supposed to address his com
munications to congress as a
whole, but in his letter to the
chairman of the committee of
ways and means, Mr. Cleveland
spoke only to the house of repre
sentatives. The executive of
this great nation must have had
somscstrong reason for commit-
' ting au act so contrary to the
spirit of, theconstitution.
The sole justification for Mr.
Cleveland's letter is the fact that
he fully recognized that his party
has no policy or, rather, that its
representatives refuse to carry
out its policy. There is no dem
ocratic leader in congress. The
party is shipwrecked. Its
pledges are dishonored; its pro
gram' is repudiated by the very
men who made it In the su
preme crisis there is no national
statesman in the ranks of the
party in power equal to the exi
gency of the occasion.
A paper published near For
man, N. D., brings out a roman
tic incident in connection ' with
nomination by the republican
state convention of Miss Emma
F. Bates.- of Valley City, to beP
state superintendent of schools..
Miss Bates had charge of her
canvass of the. nomination, and
found considerable opposition in
John Devine and Professor J. H.
Holland. She was able to side
track the latter by making her
self solid with the Young Men's
Republican League. She then
entered into negotiations with
Devine, first demanding uncon
ditional ' surrender. This he re
sisted. After further negotia
tion, it is said, he agreed to pull
off the track, provided, if she
were elected state superintendent
she would make him her deputy
and marry him into the bargain.
After some deliberation she
agreed to do this,
provided near
would stump the state for her.
As he is a powerful speaker with
abundant wit and repartee, Miss
Bates is conceded to have made
the shrewdest political deal yet
known.

BICYCLISTS VERSUS FARMERS.
Numerous complaints are being
made by farmers and teamsters
against bicyclists, to the effect
that the latter claim the right of
way on the public highways.
The feeling between these two
classes of citizens is each week
! becoming stronger and unless
oien e matter is satisfactorily adjudi
" j cated in the near future an open
conflict may be the result.
To avoid any possible trouble
we would suggest that the wheel
man be given the road under all
circumstances. These
gentle
! men g namg, as a general tiling,
for pleasure, and their welfare
and convenience should at all
tlmes be considered paramount
to that of the farmer who is
i merely going or coming from
town on business: and business.
no matter how important, should
never take precedence when it
will, discommode the bicyclist.
Should a farmer, driving a team
heavily loaded with grain or
other farm produce, chance to
meet a bicyclist, it will be his
duty to turn to the right and
allow the man on the wheel the
entire roadway. Should his
team scare, the road should be
watched carefully for an an
an-
proaching wheelman that suffi
cient time may be afforded in
which to unhitch from the ve
hicle and drive the team to a
neighboring barn. Of course
this can not always be done, but
what matters it if a team runs
away now and then so long
as
the comfort and
convenience of
his "Imperial" highness is not
interfered with. Farmers and
teamsters should remember these
suggestions and always give the
wheelman the right of wa)',
otherwise some offensive driver
may get the everlasting stuffin
mauled out of him by a cyclist
who has been compelled to dis
mount in the dusty road because
of the driver's noncompliance
with the above rules.
PRAYING FOR RAIN.
In the vicinity of Northfield,
Minnesota, where there has been
a protracted drouth, all the reli
gious bodies, both Catholic and
Protestants, have been testing
the efficacy of prayer in a time
of calamity by uniting their sup
plications for rain, but up to the
present time there has been no
response. Dispatches say these
devout rainmakers are becoming
discouraged and they have de
cided to quit praying. They ask
why their prayers have not been
answered, and lose faith in the
efficacy of the Being that can
create worlds, because the man
ner of His divine efficiency lies
far above them. These very
people who join in an united ap
peal to their God to answer a
prayer to satisfy what may be a
selfish desire for gain, would, in
all probability, forget to thank
Him if it were granted. Can
people hope that a Deity, offended
by petitions inspired by selfish
ness, will grant these petitions?
Atheists and skeptics point to the
failure of these religious bodies
as an evidence that there is no
God. But the faith of all hon
est believers is not shaken by the
disappointment of these people.
While they believe faithfully in
God, yet believe He performs
His wonders through the' opera
tion of natural laws. They not
only have faith in God's power
and willingness to answer
prayers, but also have that
higher confidence in His wisdom
as to the granting of them.
They do not deny God's power
to perform miracles, but He will
choose His own time "and place
for the performance. While the
Almighty has the welfare of His
people at heart He does not cause
nature to transgress her own laws
by granting special dispensa
tions.
Somebody who wants
to ex-
piain wnar. tne editorial "we
signifies says it has a variety of
meanings, varied to suit the cir
cumstances. For an example:
When you read that "we expect
our wife home today." "we" re
fers to the editor-in-chief; when
it is "we are a little late with
our work," it includes the whole
office force, even to the devil and
the towel; in- "we are having a
boom," the town is meant; "we
received over 7,000,000 immi
grants last year," embraces the
nation ; but ' 'we have hog cholera
in our midst" v only means the
man who takes the paper and
joc : : mi

the llligitimate child, whose
arrival has been expected for
months, was born last Monday
night to Grandma Wilson.
From its resemblance to Gorman
and other members of the senate
it now becomes a hard matter for
granny to determine which one of
the boys its real father is.
LETTER.
Washington, Au
6, 1894,
The democratic distraction
over the tariff bill is still is great
as ever. There is lots of talk
every day .about an agreement
tomorrow, but, like tomorrow,
the agreement never comes.

the breakers on the rocky coast j tlie opposition of the admimstra

tli Pv n o-Pt
' . ... . .
, out at all, is still problematical.
; It is certain, however, that the
: republicans will not volunteer as
: life savers.
j Boss Cleveland has succeeded
: in preventing the house commit-
tee on foreign affairs reporting
the Boutelle resolution for tlie
i "euiaie recognition 01 tne
; j a. -i- .. .i
nawaiian republic, aunougn it
was word for word the same reso
lution introduced by the present
democratic chairman of that !
mmmittpp wht-n t,. TiroKot,
KUdi, ,iT-;rribe considered from
the Harrison administration, and
when a majority of the commit-
i tee and of the house was repub
! licau. But at least one democrat
on the committee Geary, of Cal
ifornia was ashamed of his
party and had tlie manliness to
speak his mind. He said : ' 'We
might as well admit that the
democratic partv has blundered
, jn its treatment'of this Hawaiian
j question; and we cannot afford to
make another blunder." The
democrats
the stump
"beat the devil around
" by postponing the
consideration of the resolution
until next Thursday, hoping
that it will then be too late to
have it acted upon at this session.
In view of this action by the
committee at Mr. Cleveland's
dictation it is not surprising that
the members of the Hawaiian
commission now in Washington,
who represent the ex-queen,
should say that they intend to
remain until informed by Mr.
Cleveland whether he intends to
carry out his promise to restore
the queen to her throne. They
naturally think that Mr. Cleve
land still wishes to restore the
queen, and other people think so
too. Why else should he wish
to postpone recognizing the re
public? x ne tj. j. k.. men nave sent a
formal protest to Mr. Cleveland
and are preparing to bring to the
attention of the national encamp
ment at Pittsburg the unjust
treatment the old soldiers have
received from the Cleveland ad
ministration. Out of 150 em
ployes dropped from the rolls of
the record and pension division
of the war department seventy
one were Union veterans, and it
is said that the records of some
of the ex-soldiers show them to

certified by U. S. consuls, which
recently passed the house, and
which the senate committee on
immigration has tried to kill by
reporting a substitute therefore
which might easily have been
added to the bill as an amend
ment. He says: "I can see no
ground for objections except
from steamship companies that
are engaged in the unholy traffic
of transporting to this country
criminals and paupers. I had
i hoped that this
measure would
a patriotic
standpoint alone and would not
be made a party measure, as the
opposition from the administra
tion gives me cause to fear it will
be. The people, without regard
to party, demand a further re
striction upon immigration; it
will come, if not now, in the
near future. For one, I propose
to keep this standard to the front
as long as I remain in con
gress, and I believe all patriotic
people will respond. The ob
jection that inspection by consuls
will interfere with the present
laws is ridiculous. The measure
will save expense to the govern
ment by utilizing these consuls
instead of adding expense. This
objection seems to be a mere pre
text and will not weigh with
men of intelligence.
"Only the Scars

Says Henbt Hudson, of the James

fies as follows:
" Among the
many testimoni
als which I sea
in regard to cer
tain medicines

cures, cleansing
the blood, etc.,
none impress me
more than my
own case.
Twenty years
ago, at the ago
of 13 years, I had
swellings come
on my legs,
which broke and
became run
ning sores.
Our family phy
sician could do
me no good, and it was feared that the
bones would he affected. At last, my
good old
Mother Urged Me
to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took three
bottles, the sores healed, and I have not
been troubled since. Only the scars
remain, and the memory of the
past, to remind me of the good
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me.
I now weigh two hundred and twenty
pounds, and am in the best of health.
I hare been on the road for the past
twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sar
saparilla advertised in all parts of the
