THE HISTORICAL WINDMILL.

know windmill is an ordinary
thing, that there is nothing beautiful
about it-but remember sce,ng one
that seemed beautiful. 1t had its his
tory. When Frederick the Great was
Emperor of Prussia, he went out )it-
tie way from Berlin aud built him a
palace at Sans Souci. Ho and the Em-
press were seated, one Sabbath after
'c IN, in their beautiful grounds and
the Empress said 81 don't like that
old windmill over there. I wish you
would buy the grounds and tear it
away, as it mars the beauty Of our
grounds, being right alngside and so
near them here" ''I'll do it to-,uor-
row;" said he. So on the morrow he
went to the miller and told him he
wished to buy his little homestead. Il
don't wish to SELL" said the miller
"But," said the Emperor, II must
have it. [ wish to extend and beautify
my grounds, and your windmill is a
sore eye to the Empress" "But,"
said he, "my grandfather is buried
yonder, and my father is buried there,
and my great grandfather over there,
and this has been the home of my an
cestors for generations. I want to live
and die here, and I cannot. sell it."
The Emperor, getting out of patience,
said he would order his men to tear the
mill down, and take possession of the
grounds. Said the miller, "May it
please your Majesty, there are laws in
Prussia, and I can sue you."' ~ don't
care,'' said the Emperor, and went on
and tore down the mill. The miller
sued him, and the courts decided
against his Majesty, and declared that
he should rebuild the mill, and pay, to
the last farthing, all the miller: had
lost. The Emperor bowed his head,
went t'and rebuilt the mill, and paid all
damages. After q while; Frederick
the Great: was in his grave, and the old
miller was gode.; but. by and by an
other miller was there, and another
Emperor was on the throne. The mil
Ter wrote to his reigning Majesty, that
so many years ago, his grandfather had
refused to sell his windmill and home
stead to him, but, said he, II am poor
and need the money, and I will sell,
and hope the price may be such as to
please your majesty; ] must have
$4,000" The Emperor with his own
hand, wrote reply. He wrote simply
this; "You say you are poor, l am
sorry for it. You are willing to sell
your windmill for $1,000. The wind
mill cannot be sold. 1t belongs to
Prussian history Enclosed find nv
check for s5,000." And the name
and tho great sea! of the Emperor was
affixed. I stood near that mill on a
beautiful afternoon, and as I wandered
among the trees, and caught the fra
grance from ten thousand beautiful
to7ers that filed the air with their per-
tune, l thought the most beautiful
thing Of all I saw was that windmill
with its ungeinly arms, and as I watch.
ed it swing around those arms the tears
came unbidden to my eyes, tor it seem.
ed to me to swing those giant arms
around as for the defense of the rights
of the humblcst mcu, for the poor as
we'll as the mighticst. And that is the
glory OF Government evcrywhere.-Reu

To the Republican voters Of the Second Congressional
District:
AS Chairman Of the Republican Dis:
trict Committee Of this District, and for
the purpose Of preventing a mob and
possible not on the floor of Ingersoll
Hall, I issued tickets on September Sd
to the delegates to the Republican Dis
trict Convention which met that day.
On the I'd of September I published a
notice to that effect in the St. Paul
Dispatch, in its 2 O'Clock issue, invit-
ing delegates to apply to me for tickets.
After the notice was in the hands Of
the printer, and already in type; I re-
ceived a communication from three
members Of the District Committee to
meet them at 3 o'clock. I did so, and
informed them Of the steps l had taken
to preserve order, and they approved Of
them. The question then came up as
to whom l should issue such tickets. I
stated that I shoulI not assume the
functions of committee on credentials,
but should issue tickets to ALL persons
bolding credentials regular on their
face, and which were vouched for by
reputable Republicans and then let
the Convention decide as TO their right
to participate in the regular proceed
ings Of the Convention. The other
members of the Committee took the
ground that the Committee should dis
criminate between delegates and only
issue to those believed by them to be
contestants or delegates. For this pur-
pose they elected Mr.. Stickney their
Secretary, with authority from them to
coaatersign such of my tickets as were
held by those whom they believed en-
titled to seats and TO REFUSE IT TO
SUCH AS THEY BELIEVED WERE NOT
ENTITLED. l objected to this because
it gave the Committee power to pack
the Convention to suit their own views
and purposes, and I declined to vote
upon any Of their motions or be bound
by their action. I claimed that I had
already taken steps necessary to insure
good order and fairness, and that could
not assume to dictate to the Republi-
cans Of the District who should consti-
tute their Congressional Convcntion or
soho should not.
This is my clear understanding Of
the whole matter. Unless it was their
purpose to discriminate against some Of
those to whom I issued tickets there
was no necessity to have the Secretary
countersign the tickets. ':
The whole issue between myself and
the committee was whether all prim,o
tacie delegates should participate in
the organization Of the convention, or
whether THOSE ONLY SHOULD PAR
T1o1pATR WHO WERE BELIEVED BY
THEM TO BE ENTITLED 70 pARrlc1-
PATE. I could not feel that any com:
mittee had the right to arrogate to
itself such great and fundamental pow
ers.
That those who held my tickets were
refused admission to the Hall unless
they would submit to 60 before the ie-:
naming members Of tho committee to
have their claims judged by them, is
beyond dispute. Being thus refused,
the District Convention was compelled
to meet elsewhere. They could only
have obtained entrance into that hall
by forcing an entrance at the risk Of
collision with the police, riot and blood
shed. :. T. NJ. METCALF,
