The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-07-08

Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, is r-
repressible. Both parties in the State having
made up their states for the next campaign,
and both of them having left Mr.. Donnelly
out, with the unkind notice that all each
asked of him was to join himself to the other
side. as they feared his cooperation more than
his opposition, he has once more started a
party Of his own. He has succeeded in hav-
ing an Independent, Anti Monopoly Conven-
ton called, to meet at Owatonna on July 81, to
nominate State ticket The chief purpose Of
the convention being to exalt the aims of Mr..
Donnelly, it is pretty safe to say it will not Gre
ate political revolutionary. Y. Tribune
An open confession is good for the
soul; but was it fair for both parties to
make up their states for the next cam
paign" long before the people had
assembled in township, county or State
conventions, to counsel together and Sc
lect candidates?
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-07-08

Stebbins, of the Hastings Gazette,
tries to make capital out of the fact that
the village OF Nininger will again be
served with daily mail. after July LIST.
The fact is that Nininger, Rich Valley,
and Pine Bend had daily mail for
years, and until one year ago, when
they were all reduced to a tri-weekly
mail. The citizens OF Nininger have
time and again petitioned to have their
old mail service restored to them; and
through the kindne IS of Hon. H. B.
Strait, they have at length succeeded.
If the Department has seen fit to reduce
the service of Pine Bend and Rich Val
ley to two mails instead of three per
week. that is something the people OF
Nininger never asked for, and are not
responsible tor.
The Republican party are running the
mail service, and ii there is anything
wrong, they alone are responsible. The
people of Nininger cannot be blamed
for asking tor restoration of the same
service which they enjoyed tor years.

Judgment is being entered by the Clerk of
Court against real estate for delinquent taxes.
There are about 1900 descriptions. Goodhue
Co. Republican.
The most surprising thing is that
there are so many individuals in Good
hue county who are unable to pay their
taxes, and let them run at "a per cent
per year, while right across the line in
Wabasha county, universal prosperity
prevails; at least the Lake City Sentinel,
and Judge Wilson, of Plainview, tell us
SO! And yet some man in Lake City
was desperate enough to say. the other
day, that there wasn't money enough in
Lake City to pay the city taxes. He
must have been joking.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-07-08

The Fisher men are eonsoling them
selves with the reflection that an Anti
Monopoly State ticket would simply
draw voters from the Republican party.
and leave the Democratic vote intact.
They will be badly fooled in that. The
strongest Anti-Monopolists in the State
are old Democrats. For instance. the
Rochester Post (Rep.) shows in its last
issue. that the leaders in the Anti
Monopoly movement in Olmstead county
were formerly the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party:
In this connection it is comieal fact that
when. after the Anti Monopolists had turned
out the Democracy and &c, up for themselves,
and It was proposed to call straight Demo-
cratic County Convention. il became desirable
to know who constituted the regular commit
tee when the Democracy Were on earth the lasi
time, two or three years ago, and at the head oil
the list were discovered the names of Yonnr
who is lust now the great Democratic annihI-
lator, and next, John W. Everstine, an old.
time bunker, but just now signer OF the pub.
lishad call OF the Temperance Reform party,
who held their convention at ST. Paul, las
week, and now have a ticket III the field. 1, i.
another significant indication of the mixed
up-atiyeneSs of parti just now in this county
that among the strongest Anti Monopoly op
/ posers Of any utilization with the Democrat,
are such venerable Democrats as Messrs. II
Kepner. OF Quincy; John Bamber, OF Roches
1 ter: and Darius Wilkins, of Salem Veril,
politics are mixed; and especially so IN th
Oopposition camp.

Again we say to you, Donnelly, go slow, or
BEIGE the election is over the people of this
gate will tap you and let all OF your Anti.
Monopoly out. They have got tLeir eyes on
your votes upon the Mississippi and Lake Su-
perior railroad bills of last winter, and your
efforts NOT to reserve the right to the people
to regulate their fares and freights.
Well, old blatherskite, tell all you
know. If you can find vote of ours
that won't stand the test, publish it by
all means. If you don't, we shall be
under the disagreeable necessity of pro-
claiming you an unadulterated old liar
Do you hear that? Come out with your
facts.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-07-08

The trainers of the new Pennsylvania Con-
stitution found it necessary to make some new
regulations for railroad companies, which
could be enforced against new companies, but
could not against others on account of the ma
ture of the charters held by them. To ulti-
mately reach these, they made provision that
no such company should have the benefit of
any future legislation, except on condition Of
complete acceptance of the provisions of the
New Constitution.-Er.
An excellent amendment. The con-
stitutlon of the State of Minnesota
should contain a similar clause.

The cat is out of the bag The Pioneer
Press of Wednesday asserts that if Pilsbury,
or any other equally sound Republican is NOM
mated, it ''does not propose to support Mr..
Fisher" Just as we expected. The Pioneer
Press has been debating candidate for the
Opposition whom they never intended to sup
port -Mankato Union.
And we are to be kicked out of all
Fellowship because we would not let a
Republican paper designate the candi-
date of the Opposition, even when they
did not propose to support him.

The .Anti-Monopo1ist.

perior, until they turned it into marsh
and then into solid land, are found these
records of past life, each stored away
in its proper place, in chronological Or
der, like pressed flowers in herbarium.
Our period OF human history, say some
5000 years, since the first monuments
Of man were built in Egypt, holds the
same relation to the whole of the worlds
life that the sea-beach holds to the ocean.
It is mere strip of time, SCARED and
torn by the elemental forces, while be-
yond it stretches away vast antiquity
reaching back probably hundred mil
lion years.
The great lesson all these revelations
teach is progressive Development.
An age of fish was followed by an age
OF reptiles, this by an age of monsters !;
this by an age of brutal and savage men !;
this by centres of civilization breaking
up the surrounding darkness of barbar-
.ism,-Egypt, Assyria, Phoenecia, China,
India, Greece, Rome; and these have
eventuated in our present civilization,
which promises to take possession of the
whole habitable planet, changing its
face, mastering its forces and filing every
continet and island, every mountain and
valley, with innumeraole swarms of in
telligent human beings. What heights
and depths of power and greatness the
mind of man will reach in that great
future we can no more anticipate than
could the savage man who hunted the
mammoth and the megatherium, have
anticipated the railroads, the telegraph
lines, the telescope and the spectrum an
alysis. The great law of progress un-
derlies all Gods work. Let us conform
our lives to it, and make the world and
the race better for our having lived.

1t is reported that two more modern Ian

THE FOSSIL WORLD.

In Great Britain alone there are reckoned 49,
900 fossil specimens Of animals and plants that
have died out in course Of time, against 1900
living specimens.
The discoveries made by Prof Marsh
in the Bad Lands Of Nebraska. of fossil
remains OF innumerable animals would
indicate that each living form of life is
the representative of q thousand extinct
forms, 1t would seem as if nature. Ell
