Hall, i-n the Morning Call, s-.iy.s that the careful student of affairs would unhesitatingly reply. ''Office-seeking." NVe area nation of office-seekers. Every citizen is eligi ble to anv office iu the gift of the people save one—the presidency— aud every native-born male of thri requisite age may aspire to the chief magistracy. When one surveys the field and sees the great army of professional politicians who have for years been striving for, but have never attained to political station—notes their weary, hungry look, and listens to their or acular utterances on ail questions of public* note: when ou? realizes the fact that the whole lives of these men have beeu wasted in vain endeavor to-reach a station for which they fan cy themselves fitted, and reflects that the same effort and diligence they have wasted in polit'cs would have placed them in places of honor and and brought them a plentitude of worldly goods, he cannot but marvel at the infatuation which has govern ed their conduct. There are not a dozen men in the state of Minnesota to whom the pur suit of office has brought wealth: per haps there are no more to whom it has brought honor, but the state is full of wrecks of once brilliant men who have been stranded upon the rocks and shoals that everywhere a bond iu public life. If, perchance, a man attains to a petty office, or one of responsibilty, he is after unfitted for the practice of his profession or the pursuit of his avocation. If he is a professional nian a lawyer or a doctor—his cli ents and patients desert him en m.is ne, for they realize that his official duties will engross his attention to such a degree as to leave him no time to properly care for his affairs. At the close of his term he finds himself without means aud without clients or patients as the case may be. No matter how prominent he may pre viously have leen, he has "lost his grip," and is compelled to begin Irfe over again. He finds greater compe tition than before, and at his advanc ed age he finds it far more difficult to obtain public confidence than it tvas in the first instance. And he finds, too, that during his brief period of office-holding, his hand has forgotten its cunning. He is seldom as suc cessful in defending his clients as he was before, or his patients do not re cover as speedily as was their wont. Sometimes he becomes discouraged at his want of success, and falls into dissipation. From this time forth his course is downward until he loses the respect of his friends aad the confi dence of his relatives. I-'' Among all the wrecks of humanity that of the politician is the most pitiable. And they are numerous as well. They ought to serve as warn ings to the young, but they are little heeded. There is a glamor about of- :§i W/.

Although ^surrounded by the debris of many a catastrophe, he fancies that he will be able to ride the stormy seas in safety, and when his political career is euded retire to an old age of comfort and honor. fice-holding that deadens the seusi l)iliiies. No one entering upon such a life will admit for a moment the possibility of a failure, or in the event of disappointment will acknowlege But how many of the politicians of the past are living such lives? They may be counted 011 one's fingers and toes, while those who have gone down to their graves in obscurity aud poverty are almost without num ber. Politics is a bad business. It is ruinous to health, to reputation and to business. No young man who val ues his future should seek to enter an arena of strife where there is so much that tends to demoralize. The first temptation should be resisted. It is a vice that grows with indul gence and finally prostrates the fac ulties and ruins the soul. Harry Hay ward says he has always made a specialty of $100 bills. So have we, but with no marked degree of success, however. Representative Lockwood has intro duced one of the best bills that has beeu offered this session. If it be comes a law it will compel every loan company to establish in every county in the state where it does business an agency where money can be paid. This will be a great convenience to the borrower, and at the same time will place no additional burden upon the loaners, as any bank would glad ly act as local agent. If a mortgage were paid off it could be released at once. The bill is no doubt a good one, and we hope to see the other members help push it along. —I have very recently received a large assortment of corsets—latest styles and patterns.

American Economist: The anntiil report upon the farm crops of -18&$, just issued by the Department of Ag riculture, suggests and investigation as to the realization of those dollar wheat promises that were made bj the free traders during the president ial campaign Of 1892. We according ly take the averages for the three Mc Kinley years of protection and com pare them with the averages during the two years that the free traders have had the opportunity to give the fanners their dollar wheat.

Under protection the yield averaged 13.2 bushels an acre, but during the two years of free trade administration the yield aver aged only 12.3 bushels an acre. The free traders had everything in their favor for high prices, yet the farm value of their wheat has been just 48i cents a bushel short of that prom ised dollar.

February 22nd was the occasion of a patriotic celebration in the Mosher school district. Mrs. Cora Wells *and little daughter, Nettie, are visiting with Mrs. Wells' mother, Mrs. C. E. Horton. F. H. Horton made a business trip through the county last week, visiting Bloom, Adrian and Ells worth. E.|A. Tripp and John Ireland drove to Worthington Monday ev ening to attend A. O. U. W. and O. O. H. lodges. Since the Worthington Hay Co. has stopped doing business it this locality the farmers have again commenced shipping their own hay. During the pleasant weather quite a number of ducks and geese may be seen around locat ing cornfields. It is very improb able that they have come to say. Quite a large number of the yonng folks of Indian Lake and vicinity went to the masqurade ball at Ocheyedan the 22nd, and quite a small number went to the dance at Harris' the same evening. E. A. Tripp returned from Lis comb, Iowa, Saturday night, hav ing been gone a week. His broth er-in-law, who has rented Fred Fiero's farm near the village of Bound Lake, is expected with his family and goods this week. Fred is moving into his recently acquir ed house in the village. The following is a list of the peo ple in this vicinity who contributed grain to the Dakota sufferers: J. N. Dodge 2 sacks of wheat, Ruful Heath, F. Heath, Mrs. James Walker, Peter Peterson, C. J.

The couuty poor gave a ball at Longenfelters new barn last Satur day evening. Jim O'Toole worked himself in aglow because Jim Dooley waltzed with his girl three times in succession and then banquetted her at the English Kitchen. Jim squar ed it with the other Jim by settii up the Skippers, and apoligized by saying he did not know it was his girl. The Pink Apron Club will meet to night at the usual place. First Cavalier Brace will give a water and doughnut party in a few days, if Chief Palm will lend him a hydrant wrench,. The Red Necktie Club will take no part in the coming village election— they are busy getting out the pro gram for their annual ball, and have no time for the amusement offered at a "town meeting." *, Ren McCartney was shaking hands with the cistern pump the other day.

There are said to be 14 cars on the road now to come to Round Lake with goods for this town. We are sorry to say that we are to lose one of our best families.
