TEMPERANCE.

Fulton, the Baptist pulpit orator,
Talmadge and other preachers on
the sensational order, are attempting
to inauguratc the movement here
that the women of the West have
made so successful. The rum inter-
est is so strong, its devotees are so
hardened and lawless, and what is
more the men of the city are SO fear
fully taken up with their business,
that there can never be the swell Gre
ated necessary to carry forward such
work. But the women of New
York and Brooklyn are doing a
splendid work nevertheless. They
are taking drinking men by the hand
and helping them into a better life,
and by working in this way may
have actually reformed thousands.
and closed doggeries by cutting off
their custom. The air is full of op-
position to rum, and it cannot be but
that some good will come out of the
movement.

possible, by the cowardly little Great :

to the first corruptionist that offers

found many better field for his business
than the one hit upon. But he had gone far

MITCHELL AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

The Austin Register said -
''The Republican papers of the State
don't dare to oppose the Changers
picnics, directly, but do it a rounda.
bout way, by kicking Donnelly. That
the very blows they are administering
are intended for the Changers is very
evident from the fact that in no in.
stance have they said a word in favor
of the honest tillers of the soil, but
unitcdly insist on casting slurs upon
their meetings, and in every way trying
to belittle Them
Upon this Mitchell, in the STANDARD,
said -
"The STANDARD certainly did what it
could to promote the success of the
Changers Picnic, and when the speaker,
Grand Master Parsons, denounced Mr..
Donnelly as demagogue and a politi.
cal shyster, the Changers gave the
heartiest kind of applause.
Upon this, Mr.. Wheaton, in the
Mortified Journal, says:
There was, on that occasion, no such
demonstration OF applause at the de-
nunciation of Donnelly as a political
shyster and demagogue, so that the
STANDARD has drawn entirely upon its
imagination; and for our justification
in this criticism we call upon any or all
present on that occasion to speak for or
against us.
No doubt at all Mitchell lied. He
could not do otherwise without great
and long sustained effort. We would
rather he would lie about US than have
him suffer from a perversion Of his
natural constitution of mind and body
His lies hurt us not, but to tell the
truth will strain him dreadfully. As a
philosopher and philanthropist, there.
fore, we say to Mitchell, go on with
your lying.

SOTIANS ARE THE SMARTEST
PEOPLE ON EARTH.

An exchange says:
"The phosphorus which wheat contains
in the outer kernel, Immediately beneath
the husk, is the feeder of brains, and the
material substance which provokes to

nervous activity. But the full value of wheat
A. a civilizer will never be fully realized I'M
til wheat-meal takes the place of bolted
-four, and the people learn to make bread
without yeast or rising. Good bread is en-
physically the staff of liIe, but the COM
merclal article is the way to dyspepsia and
premature DEATH
You see, our virgin soil is full of the
phosphates; and the Middlings Purifier
enables us to obtain in our -four /" the
phosphorus Immediately beneath the
husk;" and hence we are developing
brain with unexampled rapidity, and,
as James NJ. Goodhue said, ''we are
willing to acknowledge it ourselves"
And hence such paper as the ANTI
MoNoPoLIsr is now possible the per-
feet flower of the 10Th century; the
fruition of all the centuries; and we arc
willing to acknowledge it ourselves.

The Farmers Union saws {:

eff Donnelly expects to ingratiate
himself into the good wishes of the
Patrons he will have to mend his course
materially. His ANr1-MoNoPoL1s1
abounds in cuts at leading Patrons who
oppose political action in the Grange,
of which Bro. Parsons gets full share.
The last issue has the following scurri-
lous attack on Bro. J. 0. Milne, the
deputy State Agent at Minneapolis"
We are not of the ''ingratiating'
kind. We have never yet reached any
object by crawling or sneaking to it
we never will. We attacked Parsons
and Milne because they made them
selves the tools of the Monopolists and
were opposing every effort of the far
mers to protect themselves.
For their denunciations Of ourself we
care nothing. We repeat what we said
in our prospectus: eve have no enc
mics but the enemies Of the people, and
on those We propose to use the scalpel
and the scalping knife
The Union can do the ''ingratiating."
That ism our forte.

Stebbins says that Alexander Ramsey

And that Gen. Averill is ditto, ditto,

pei of mediocrity-for each Of these re.
markable men has voice in the distri-

us of the sign which the Chinaman put

late, and next when he saw him keep
right towards him that he had some
notice for him to read, as he observed
something in his hand, and finally as he
came nearer he saw the revolver, and
that Minis was endeavoring to cock it..
His first thought was. the Bishop says,
to knock the man down, and then he
thought of the confusion such a pro-
ceeding would occasion, besides the
danger that some of the congregation
might get hurt if the pistol should go
off, and then without further thought
he found himself doing what he did,
which under the circumstances was the
best thing that he could have done.
1t was found that the pistol was
fully loaded and it is presumed that
the madman's thought was to shoot
the Bishop. His name is G. W. Minis,
and he came to Faribault last fall, be-
ing graduate Of Andover Seminary
and hcentiate of the Congregational
Church. but expressing a wish to enter
the ministry Of the Episcopal Church.
He was placed in the Divinity School
to study for year, but in the mean
time began to show signs of mental
alteration, wherefor the Bishop as gen.
thy as possible informed him that he
could not be ordained, at least not I'M
til he recovered his health. His friend
Mr.. Collester was asked to take charge
of him and communicated with his
friends in the East. Minis seemed to
acquiesce and was apparently so harm
less that no one thought Of putting him
under restraint. But he is supposed to
have brooded over his failure to re-
ceive ordination and to have
cherished revcngeful feeling
towards the Bishop. He has now
been taken to the Asylum at St. Peter
to await the instructions of his family.
The pistol he purchased of boy clerk
at one of the city stores.
During the evening service at the
Cathedral an unusually large congre-
cation united in grateful praise that
great calamity had been mercifully
averted.
The Bishop came to St. Paul last
evening and this morning went on to
Duluth with the Red Wing party else
where noticed.

Joseph and David.

These were both celebrated Scrip
tural characters. One fed from Po-
tiphar's wife, and the other fed with
Uriah's wife. Joseph is now editing
the St. Paul Press and David is editing
the St. Paul Pioneer. 1t is none OF
our funeral, but Joseph seems to have
very contemplate opinion of David,
and he expresses it with charming
frankness. Speaking of the love OF
Minneapolis for both of them, Joseph
says:
"These men by many times prefer the
bold, honest, manly criticisms of the Press,
its fearless frankness in telling the truth that
otfends as well as the truth that pleases, to
the insincere and obsequious batteries OF the
interested sycophants who will .fawn and
sniuel and sneak and lie the year around,
and then lie and sneak and snirel and .fa,rn
in every posture and for any term Of lick
spittIe proStration, if by such self-degrada-
ton they may purchase few small sub
scriptions."
That is strong and to the point. Now
let US hear David's opinion of Joseph.

The RAILROADS At IT.
Pooling to Prevent Competition,
A Virtual Increase Of 90 to 40 Per
Cent.

New YORK, Aug. 4.--The resolutions
and minutes of the recent meeting OF
railroad men at Saratoga have been
taken to Indianapolis by the secretary,
and copy is not to be obtained here.
The railroad men state that it is not
true that the meeting was called for the
purpose of combining against the
Changers or any other interest. They
say the object is simply the develop
ment of the respective roads, and the
abolition of the system of underwriting
and litigation, which has proved so ex-
pensive to all. The conference will
soon be resumed, and the business in
troduced at the previous meeting will
be brought to close.
Freight agents report that the action
of railroad officials has simplified their
work materially. Heretofore there was
such competition to procure freight
there was no pretence of preserving
nominal rates and by gradual process
of cutting under the rates had been re-
duced from 20 to 40 per cent, while
special rates were made with all heavy
shippers.
The following are the new rates
agreed upon, given in cents per cwt. =:

A Generous Enemy Refusing to
Take a LARGE Reward.

Last week Stebbins charged, by in
uendo, that we had received compensa-
ton from the Hastings and Dakota
Railroad Company, for services rem
dered while we were member Of Con-
gress. We replied that VIC would
give Stebbins one hundred dollars for
every dollar that he could show we so
received.
Instead of coming forward with his
proofs and demanding his reward. he
now admits that we never received the
compensation referred to by him, to
wit,certain stock which was voted us. in
our absence by the H. & D. Company.
for negotiating a loan of 100000 with
which the first twenty miles of the
road we're built. Hesays -
"But every one knows that this stock is
vested IN him on the books of the company.
as certainly as his bank account or any other
article OF value which he may possess"
And further he says
Todd & Stebbins have $500 of the same
kind of stock, and at the time Donnelly's
was voted to him we considered ours so val
liable that when we had paid eighty per
cent. we refused to part with it for what it
had cost u.s.
Here then is conclusive proof, fur
nished by Stebbins, that we refused to
ask for or accept $500 of stock worth
fully $4,000 in money: and still refuse
to do so, although 1T is as certainly
vested in us as is our bank account >,
and that too when it was given US for
services outside of our Congressional
duties, of a private and personal char
acter. the negotiation of loan of $780,
600. for which the company would
gladly have paid US, if we had demand
ed it, five per cent. commission, or
$4,000.
And now Stebbins and Todd black.
guard us because the company voted
the stock to usi
Suppose it had been Todd and Steb-
bins how long would it have been before
they would have called upon the Secre-
tary and received their stock, signed and
sealedi
As to the last statement of these wor
thieS, to-wit:
But Donnelly did consider this stock h ia
property and valuable, for he attempted to
trade it to widow woman in st. Louis for
lands in Nininser, which tact weeap proye.n
