EDITORS APPEAL-In Sundays APP
PEAL you copy sketch of JEFF rhomp-
son from st. Joseph pager. AS know
him well and intimately from 1852 to
1855, am able to vouch for the entire
tPuthfulness Of this sketch, yet it seems
to me some points deserve little more
prominence, and some omissions ought
TO be; supplied. JEFF Thompson Che
would esteem it a slight If his friends
should call him anything else), is Vir-
ginisn by birth and education, and,
through all the yicissitudes OF frontier
life, and an adventurous career, he has
preserved many of the best qualities of
the real Virginia gentleman. No man
could wish for more faithful friend or
q more chivalrous foe. He has many
eccentrieities, but do not believe the
thought of doing a mean thing was ever
tolerated for moment in his mind.
The st. Joseph paper tells how he was
always called "Jeff,n though his baptis-
NAL name was MeTiwether, but it does
not inform Us how ne came by this ecu
briquet. His father owned little red
headed mulatto boy about the age Of
JEFF. In childhood Jeff7s hair was
called red, though now il would be
classed as brown auburn. From the
similarity Of the color of his hair to that

paign.
A correspondent writing to US from one
Of the counties Of the Second District
makes the following observations as to
the way things worked together for the
good Of that veteran and venerable saint
the ex Minister TO 81. Cloud:
Mr., Faulkner, in bis speeches, strongly
intinsted that Mr.. Boteler was in reality
the candidate o! the Republicans, and that
these who supported him were sfiliating
with the Republicans
In this county we have very few Repub-
licans except the negroes. From the as.
sertiols Of the Fau!knerites, the BoIel-
critics supposed the negro vote would fall
on their side as naturally as q ripe apple
tails 10 the earth. But the negroes having
got hold o! Mr.. FAulknef's abolition
speech Of 1882, which has been reprinted
since the abolition Of slavery, and which
Mr.. Lincoln kept by him and used on the
stump in Illinois, and could repeat con-
siderable portions from memory; and also
Mr.. Faulkner's oath taken in 1866, with
out mental reservation or purpose OF eva
sion, concluded that Mr.. Faulkner was
the simon-pure Radical Republican can
didste, and supported him almost TO q
man. In the Court House precinct Of this
county Mr.. Faulkners majority was CT.
At least rs negroes voted for him, thus
showing that Boteler got q msjority Of
the Democratic votes in this precinct, as
he did throughout the county.
The vote should be stated thus For
Alr. Faulkner "who:e shrewd observation
and judgment detected the seeds Of dis.
organization and failure ss soon as he en-.
tered the Coniedetacy," and who took q
solemn oath, without mental reservation
or purpose OF evasion" that since the 3Oth
Of June, 1885, he gave no aid or comfort
BY co1ntensncing, counselling, or encour.
ing the Coniederacy, or acknowledging
its constitution-s0 votes.
For the Mr.. Faulkner who swore 10
support the constitution and remain faith.

Of doubt with some persons because OF It's

! The old pioneer dry-goods merchants,
~. W. Ingersoll & Co., Third and
W. ,basha streets, who have seen St.
Paul, grow up from a frontier village,
and WIN !, have survived all the financial
convulsioA1s of the last quarter of a
century, ha We a remarkably fine display
on the Fair Grounds. They are public
spirited men, and have always been
represented at our State fairs; besides
having the sagacity to advertise largely
in dull times as well as good.
Those who are visiting our city with
view to making purchases would do
well to visit them and inspect their
stock of goods, which embraces fabrics
Of all kinds, from the cheapest calicos
to the rarest and most expensive inn
ported silks. They will find in the estab.
lishment heightened and courteous en-
ployees, who will be glad to exhibit
their wares without grumbling or
scowling; and in the head Of the house
they will find An honorable gentleman,
who is above all the little tricks of the
trade.

Call and see them .

SrEEs & BROTHER s, St. Paul, are the
largest furniture dealers in Minnesota ;
and while their stock is more complete
than any other their prices are moder-
ate and within the reach of all. Their
motto is ''small profits and quick sales;;"
they understand the great truth that a
''nimble six.pence is better than slow
shilling; and this is the key note of their
remarkable success. They do not
adopt the tactics of some of our mer-
chants, and when times are dull refuse
to advertise. On the contrary they
we'll understand that the less money a
man or woman has, the more they look
out for bargains; they desire to make
it go as far as possible; and hence they
con over the columns of the newspa.
pers and study the advertisements. 1t
is the man who advertises in dull times
that will be found possessed If an es-
tablished trade when times revive.
Stees & Brothers have always prac-
ticed upon this theory and hence their
success,

Postmasters and other federal officers of that
State, to pay in their assessments TO the cam

pay for printing documents. But it is
all right to levy assessments ''agreeably
to custom" on federal Office holders
We asked those we thought were in
sympathy with our principles to vol
unfairly contribute; they insist that a
man must pay over or step out.

the book contain nothing else but these
portraits and engravings. it would be a
work well worth the price which is
asked for it.
The maps which are neatly and
plainly printed in colors on large
scale, embrace every county, city, town
and section in the State; were drawn
from actual surveys made at a large
expense expressly for this work, and
together form the most complete and
convenient set Of State maps ever given
to an appreciative public.
If there are any of our readers who
have not secured for their own use and
the enjoyment of their families, one Of
these admirable works, they should do
so at once, as tbs work is now being
printed, and printed only for those
who have ordered it through some of
Mr.. Andreas' employees, who are now
rapidly closing up their work, and
being withdrawn from the State to
other fields of labor.

HARD ON THE CALF.

A friend writes us from Southern
Minnesota, enclosing the pay for a new
subscriber, and he adds: "Last Fourth
of July at the Grange Council l was
receiving subscriptions for the ANTI
MoSoPoL1sr and the above named gen.
tleman stated that he had named calf
'Donnelly;' and the calf hated the name
so badly that he died. But he now
thinks he will subscribe
We don't believe he gave that calf
enough to eat. He felt spiteful at it.
Nothing that bears our name is apt to
die as long as the provender holds out.
If the calf had a copy Of the ANTI
MoNoPoL1sr he would have been alive to
this hour. But as it was he did be-
lieving in Ben Butler and Bill King.
Alas poor calf! to go down to death

Republican principles.

Get on the scales, Abernethy, and

Bill has sunk in you-a good deal

carcass is worth.
Then get 10. Wheelock on with you,
and divide his total into $4,000 and
let us see what he cost. And we will
bet you $3.50. Abernethy, that you can
put him up at auction, and he wont
fetch one cent ON the dollar of his
original cost, with his old clothes

A Great work.

This is with truth said to be an age
of great works. New inventions and
new achievements occupy the time,
claim the attention, and are the rally
ing cries of this the nineteenth century.
While this is true of the civilized
world, it is emphatically true of the
American people, so that the man
whose mind can comprehend, create,
and produce something pre-eminently
in advance Of his time, has accomplish.
ed an achievement which will secure for
him the sympathy, confidence and lib
eral support Of all classes of people who
are benefited by his originality Of
thought and boldness ofexecution.
As the latest and most striking
illustration Of this spirit of the age,
and the unquestioned prominence which
we as nation occupy in the field Of
invention and progress, We would call
the attention Of our readers to the stu.
pendous work which has been nearly.
completed by A. T. Andreas of Chi
cage, Illinois, the veteran map publish
er Of the West. We refer to his New
Illustrated Historical Atlas Of Min.
nesota, which will be ready for distri-
button early in October, in less than ten
months from the time his first solicitor
entered the State. How q work of such
magnitude can have been completed in
such an incredibly short space of
time, none can perhaps answer save the
experienced publisher himself. To the
uninitiated it seems more like one of
the tales Of the Arabian Nights Enter.
tainmcnts, than like the business
achievement Of an enterprising West
crn publisher.
This atlas is an encyclopedia Of his
torical. biographical, geographical, edu-
cational, statistical, geological, CLIMATE
cal, typographical, political, general and
universal information; is complete and
exhaustive, without being verbose; pre-
senting facts in style calculated to en-
terrain and instruct alike the young and
old, the farmer, the mech anic, the arti-
san. the literary and professional man,
in fact all who wish to gain information
in regard to the past or present of Min.
nesota. 1t also contains the largest and
best collection of portraits, Of public
and prominent men and old settlers,
ever published in this or any other
State, together with beautifully exc
cuted views of the picturesqe scenery
for which Minnesota has been long
noted; also public and private build
ings, residences, &C.. forming in
this respect alone one of the most COM
plete and elegant works of art ever
published. These views, and We have had
the pleasure of examining very many
Of them in the Office of the manager,
Capt. Thos. H. Thompson, are true to
nature and perfect gems Of art. Did
