her youth.

ONE YEAR IN CONGRESS.
Congressmen Laws retired from the
service of the neonle of the Second dis
trict , March 4th , 1891 , having served a
little more than one year. Few con
gressmen are conspicuous in history.
It is the fortune of some to spring into
prominence without much occasion.
Others worked harder and longer hours ;
do much more for their constituents in
a quiet way , and are hardly heard of.
Mr. Laws has not been a conspicuous
man in the Fifty-first congress , yet
knowing the man , The Democrat be
lieves he has worked hard to do his con
stituents all the good possible , j&r.
Laws is an industrious , conscientious
man. There is nothing brilliant about
him. What other men can accomplish
with a glib tongue , he must accomplish
by unremitting toil. Although a shrewd
politician he abhored tbe methods of the
averacre noliticiari. and this fp.\nrr ]
him disliked by the party politicians of
the Second district. Since his election
to congress there never was much sym
pathy between the politicians and Mr.
Laws. Mr. Laws' fault in congress was
that he blindly followed his party , re
gardless of every demand in the west.
His usual good judgment seemed to
have deserted him. and he became the
bitter partisan. That's politics , not
withstanding , a disappointment to many
of his friends. As register of the U.
S. land office at McCook for three
years , secretary of state of Nebraska
three years and congressman one and *
half years , Mr. Laws has made a good
record , if not politically considered.
In retiring to private life , The Demo
crat desires to offer its best wishes to
him , and in this we believe we are
joined by every citizen in the Second
district. Adams County Democrat.

The executive committee of the Re

met in this city , lust Saturday night ,
when it was decided to hold the next
semi-annual meeting of the association at
Oxford. The date selected was the first
Tuesday in June , and it was thought
advisable by the committee to make the
session a purely business one. Presi
dent Stine , of the Superior Journal , was
present and reported correspondence
with various railway officials relative tea
a press excursion this year. The most
favorable proposition received is from
the B. & M. , and it is probable that
their offer will be accepted and a trip
taken to Pike's Peak about the loth of
