Is She Responsible

The Anti--Nonopozist of the 18th
inst, referring to an article in the Farm
ers' Union, in which the Union urges
the farmers to be- very careful about
offending "those who hold the purse
strings utters the following words Of
warning:
Farmers, this man Abernethy is only one
Of the legion that is now working to deceive
and enslave you. Every art and artidce
known to the ingenuity Of the most ingen-
ious Of men will be used to hold you in
thraldom. You are the great victim, the
spoil, the prey, the mighty game; and
hundreds Of thousands are living upon you.
They will spread the net; they will forge
the chain they will dig the pit; for if you
escape, they starve. Abernethy is one of
the tame elephants-Bill King has ring
in his nose-whose duty it is to mingle with
the wild herd and lead them gradually to-
wards the alley Of palisades which, ever
narrowing, terminates only in the slave-pen
Of subjugation.
We have never seen the article to
which the Anti. Moaopohst refers, but
we beg leave to remind the Amti-Monop-
ozist that Abernethy keeps especial no.
tices" posted up in his paper notifying
it's readers that the editor is not respon-
sihle for anything expressed therein.
Now is the Anti-Monopolist very sure
that the article which it finds so much
fault with was found in any response

We had something to say on this sub.
iect in our last issue, but in view Of the
fact that it is estimated that Red Wing
has recently been. bled to the tune Of
about $4,000 by one Of these gentry,
the subject will bear little further con-
sideration.

From Indiana Granger.
As general rule politicians are birds
Of prey. They make the politics Of the
country their profession, not that they
may purify the governmental machinery
or enoble the race, but for the. purpose
of making money without work. The
science Of government all should study,
and it would seem proper that the pro-
fessional politicians should make the
science Of government their paramount
study. In reality they know nothing of
it. They simply learn shrewd tricks for
carrying. elections. They only work to
gain victory for selfish ends. ~. a7

fundamental principles Of government,
and as rule they know next to nothing

State Agricultural S0ciety-Spectal
Premiums.

Editor of the Tribune.
At the last meeting of the Executive
Committee Of" the State Agricultural
Society, it was suggested that particu-
lar attention be called to the special
premiums offered to exhibitors by the
society and others as follows:
To the county presenting the largest
and best variety Of grain of any county
in Minnesota, $50 for first premium,
$25 for second.
: For the largest and best variety of
vegetables, $95, $50, $685.. -;
The proprietor, of the GRANGE AD-
VANCE offer the very liberal premiums
of $25 for the best written essay on
wheat raising, and also the same on
stock raising in Minnesota.
Jas. Wick, florist of Rochester, N. Y.
offers premiums of $40, SIS, $40 and
SIS for best collection Of flowers from
seeds raised, etc., by him.
I would respectfully add that 20 make
the State Fair a success, it will require
the hearty cooperation Of our citizens
here as well as other parts of the State,
in the exhibition of the skill of the ar
tizan and products of the soil.

Nov, if his treatment we're the very
best that could be given in these cases,
who is 50 silly as to believe he could
produce any benefit in a few days OF
weeks? A malady Of long standing
cannot be cured in day, or week, OF
a month. If O'Leary is an educated
physician, then nobody knows better
than he that he is deceiving and hum
bugging the people whose money he
takes. If he is physician, then he
knows that he is disgracing his profess
sion by falsehood and robbery, for the
man who obtains money by false pre-
tenccs, is both a liar and cheat.
If Mr.. O'Leary is not not an educated
physician he is fraud and a swindle.
If he is an educated physician he is still
more Of humbug and rascal, because he
knows the full extent to which he is
deceiving and swindling the people.

female .slHfaee in Wyoming a.a
1ichiGo1. F.. ..4.i /.

y
in letter to Michigan paper, says that
the female suffrage experiment which has
now been on trial for four years in that
Territory has proved an unqualified sue
cess. Some two years ago Judge King
man of the Supreme Court Of that Ter
ritory wrote letter to the Pennsylvania
Woman's Suffrage Association in which
he made similar statements. Both de-
clare that elections are conducted more
orderly, and that there is less drunkenness
than formerly, that as jurors and bailifs
women fulfill their duties fully as well as
men, and they express an earnest hope
that Michigan will adopt the constitu-
tional amendment, giving the right of
suffrage to women.
We have always been opposed to fe-
male suffrage, but we must confess that
the statements Of the gentlemen above
named is not only competent testimony,
but it is the very best evidence. 1t is
not the conjectures of theorists, but
the deliberate conclusions of the highest
executive officer, and one of the highest
judicial officers of the Territory, after
judicial test Of years. These letters are
the strongest argument in favor Of wo-
man suffrage that We have ever encount-
cred, because they are based upon actual,
practical test.
We apprehend that the great MAORI
ty of the opponents of this doctrine are
like ourselves, somewhat prejudiced
against the movement, but willing to be
convinced that they are wrong, and to
act up to their convictions We can
scarcely help wishing that Michigan
will adopt the amendment, just as we
would like, upon entering some unex-
peeted region, to have some one else go
ahead. So much has been said on both
sides Of the question that we would like
to see it thoroughly tried, and if Mich
igan will please 60 ahead and give the
matter a fair trial. we will be much
obliged to her. If it proves a success,
we shall willingly accord to her and
Wyoming Territory the honor of good
explorers and discoveries in the hither-
to unknown regions Of the social world,
and claim for ourselves only the humble
position Of followers, while on the other
hand, if it tproves failure, she will only
have to back down, just what lots of
people have done before her. Come
to think it over we advise her to try it
on by all means. :.r-~

ECONOMY.

In our last issue we had something
to say upon the exceedingly dry and
uninteresting subject that heads this
article, and we propose to say something
more, Notwithstanding the general re-
pugnancy felt toward it, Men always
prefer to believe that they are imposed
upon, that they are cheated and rob-
bed, rather than admit to themselves or
others that they have wilfully or negli-
gently squandered their own substance,
0: criminally failed to make the most of
what God and nature has placed in
their hands. It is weak and coward
~ disposition, and one to which We are
all more or less liable; to charge our
misfortunes, our want of success and
our failures upon others, while the
blame lies at our own door. It is one
of our greatest faults to fail to see and
acknowledge our faults. We are so
blind to our own errors and failings, and
so prejudiced in our own favor, that we
cannot see those errors and failings, and
are ever ready to believe that our more
successful neighbors are in some way
the cause of our own poverty and dis
tress.
It is 50 nearly universally true that
We may assert it, as & general PROPOSE
tion, that the only way to competency
or wealth, is by the hard and narrow
road Of industry and economy. Some.
times, of course, man accidentally be-
comes the owner Of large fortune, but
a mans chances for anything of that
kind is not much better than his chance
to become the President Of the United
States.
The old gentleman who told his son
that waiting for fortune was a good
deal like taking a stool and pail to the
middle Of the meadow and sitting down
to wait for COW to back up to be milk
ed, was not very far out of the way.
But by industry and economy every
man Of sound body and mind has dead
sure thing on competency and even
wealth. :,.-
Suppose young man starts out earn
ing $500 year, and it costs him $500
to live and meet expenses; he may keep
on from June to eternity in this way
without making a cent. But if by
close economy he saves 500 over and
above his expenditures, he has got
something that will help him make
money as long as he lives. If he keeps
on saving, after while his money will
earn for him as much every year as his
own labor and skill, and whereas when
he commenced he had only one pair Of
hands to work for him, now he has got
two pair. Not only that, but his new
hands require no food or clothing, and
It costs him nothing for tools, or tobac-
60 or beer. It is all income and no
outgo.
Again, if 4 man is truly economical,
he will gather new experience and skill
each year that will enable him to earn
more money next year than he did last.
What shall We say Of the farmer or
business man who goes, on year
after year adding nothing to his
stock Of knowledge and skill? He sim
ply deserves the fate and degradation
Of a drone and he generally gets it, and
then he becomes one Of your. regular
old croakers, who are everlastingly
stowling about everything and every
body but themselves; ;''+ 7: 1s.. { ':.12s . .s

The Winnebago City Press denies
that the Hon. D. L. Buell. is popular in
his own county, and says that he signal
ly failed in running for the Legislature
last winter. The Mankato Union there
upon alleges that Mr.. Buell. was former
ly so popular that he represented a
largely republican constituency in the
Senate although he himself was demo-
crat, and wants to know why he has
fallen into disfavor if such. be the fact.
We would inform the Union that he
was beaten on the great issue of county
seat. IF we remember rightly the
question was whether the county seat
should be removed from Caledonia to
Houston. 1t was supposed that Mr..
Buell., on account Of his residence, would
favor the removal, while Mr.. Trask for
a similar reason would oppose the remov-
al. \ large majority Of the voters did
not favor the removal and hence Mr..
Buell. was beatn. IF the Press infers
from these facts that Mr. Buell. is un-
popular it must be Influenced by very

The French do not seem to be very
successful in retaining their great State
prisoners. 1t was only short time
since that Rochetort escaped from his
place of banishment, and now Marshal
Bazaihe has accomplished the same feat.
It is said that the Marshal had given
his word of honor not to attempt an es.
cape and that therefore, the government
had relaxed its vigilance in guarding
him. Whether this be true or not
every philanthropist will rejoice in his
liberation. He was made the scapegoat
for the failure of the French in the
Franco -Prussian war. His soul is
stained with no crime, but France must
throw the odium Of failure on somebody
and Bazaine was selected as the victim.
When the French will have returned to
their better sense they will restore Ba-
zaine to honor and glory if he still lives,
but until that time he must wander in
exile, an outlaw, a convicted traitor.

should be so great a rush of people at the de-
pot on the arrival Of the evening train, often
obstructing the platform to an annoying ex-
tent, and elcting remarks more emphatic
than commendatory. From the depot the
tide next seems to set toward the post office,
where another exhibition of taste in the way OF
a promiscuous huddle is often INDUCED in.
1t would seem that mere suggestion as to
improperly of such demonstrations would
prove effectual in the direction of radical
reform.
