New detfuls as to where Jones has ben spending the w.any months that he has been missing came to light with Jones' trip to his old home. According to statements credited to blm he has been engaged in the mining business and he was in a fair way to clean up $100,000, which amount ihe say-s, he would .have bewi in possession of had the officials been one or two days later. Rugby has been well stirred up with Jones' .return. Their former banker has taken everything in a calm and apparently .happy .manner. He is meeting his old friends and speaks freely to them, although having but little to say of his trouble. Before leaving Fargo he made a statement to the effect that he had not taken any money than that whi-jl1. belonged to him.

Senator John son has an article in the Petarbaurg Reccrd this week in which he con trasts an editorial in a Fargo weekly pu1 lication with one in a St. Louis daiiy. The Fargo creed la of tfhe calamity kind—in which the entire com try is headed for the detmnition I bowwows, while the other is optimis tic in its 'tenor. Commenting on these Senator Johnson writes in The Re rd If Democrats like the editor of The Searchlight, 'Mr. Boise, and near dem ocrats, like the associate editor, Mr. Cole, can convince the people, ii. that prosperity is adversity, and, sec ond that tihe president of the United States, the courts of justice and a ma jority of the members of the house and senate are dishonest and unpa triotic they may carry the next elec tion provided we 'have a financial pan ic, a scourge of yellow fever and a visitation of Asiatic cholera. A panic alone will not do it any more than it did last year. Neither will a panic •plus fever alone, or ctholera ailone. A combination of the three Is rather a remote contingency. 1 remember very well when good and great men li'ke Greeley, Beecher, and Carl Shurz led the revolt of 1872 against the 'republican party. The wrongs against whWh they protested ,vere real and yet the party of Lin coln and Grant went marching on in the main faithfully and efficiently safeguardig (the welfare, honor and prosperity of this nation, while most of 'blie (leaders of the insurrection per ished miserably in the company of their deluded followers in the politi cal wilderness. Shurz alone returning like a rodigal son to eat the fatted a'lf of forgiveness in his father's rouse as secretary of the interior un der Hayes, but never really trusted by the real leaders of the party. Senator Teller was as honest and faithful a statesman as ever sat at the council tobies of our party. I believe lie was sincere when I saw .hian with tears in his eyes take u.p .his hat and lead the famous march of the free silvenites out cf the convention hall at St. Louis in 1896. Pettig'-ew and Du Bois went wiitih' him and thousands of honest voters followed. Few of them ever returned to the fold. Pettigrew and DuBoise are still with 'the democrats, trusted imore or less unequivocally, .WT° Teller, after Jei'ng used the the democrats for two senatorial terms and thrown away last spring like King Eear's "shelled peas cod," is* now mercifully-sheltered .in his old afce and given a comfortable pension by tile old republican asso ciates in that sinecure for lame ducks the monetary connmitnlon. 'We scored our greatest political tri umphs at the election of 1872 and 1896. A third revolt is now organiz ing a great expedition into the politi cal desert.' Taft and his parity will retain the confidence of the America people and win a signal victory.
