the price Of the paper, and give this
increase to regular contributors, say
one from each grange in Goodhue
county and vicinity. A page or SO,
filled with articles like the Trenton
Letters, from the Goodhue oranges,
would be very acceptable and make it
indeed a farmers paper.
1t is hard work, ard takes consid-
cradle time for farmer to write an
acceptable article for paper, and l.,
for one, feel like paying them for it.
I have written few articles for the
papers and know just how it is, and
!. don't propose to entertain other peo-
pie and bear my own expenses with
out some recompense or acknowledge
ment. Hoping that this or some other
method for getting the news. opinions
and workings will be adopted, I SUBJ
scribe myself, Yours fraternally,
S. r.
In reply to the above we will say
that the price Of this paper is $500
per. year in advance. Every grange
ought to give us 20 subscribers. Now,
we have club rates Of ten copies for
$1,000; twenty copies for $4,000. If
one man in every grange will act as
agent in procuring subscribers and
writing letters we will allow him the 25
per cent. on the subscription price, and
a paper extra. If he writes once a
month, this will pay him $l.00 for his
trouble. We can hardly afford to do
more than this at this time, but if our
friends will double our list, we will in
crease this ofer.-ED. ADVANCED

From the Faribault Democrat.
Statement Of Dr.. Hewitt Con-
corning the Death of Knudt
- O~Solberg.

KENYON, Sept. 18th, 1875.
Editor Faribault Democrat:
SHINY attention has just been call
ed to communication in your paper,
which goes to show a case of bad NAL
practice in the matter of the death, af.
ter amputation Of the leg, of Knudt O..
Solberg.
The facts Of the case are as follows:
The patient was thrown into the sickle
Of his reaper and his leg cut off clean,
except small piece of muscle and skin.
From the amputation of the sickle he
had bled profusely with no effort to
even check the flow of blood. The bleed
ing had gone on to partial exhaustion.
DR.. Greaves of this place was called to
attend him, and begged me, as special
favor to help try to save the poor mans
life. We found the leg as above, and
also found six large wounds on the up
per third of the thigh, which had man
gled and torn the muscles into fras-
ments, many of them hanging out loose
in the bed. Some of the wounds were
six inches or more in length, and ran
down to and below the bone.
We decided to give the man the small
chance there was for his life.
gave the chloroform, and am ready
to take all the consequences Of the act.
Dr.. Greaves amputated the leg and
did it quickly and we'll. After the Doc
tor had got about half through the op-
Grafton, took away the chloroform
from the patient, gave the stopper Of
the bottle an extra turn to be sure no
gas could exhale into the room, re-
moved all traces of chloroform
from about the patient and proceed
ed to dress the wounds Of the thigh.
Before l completed the dressing the pa
tient was 80 far recovered as to mani
fest pain and did so at each of the seven
or eight last stitches I took. We watt
ed about an hour after the operation
and made sure before we left that he
had 50 far recovered from the chloro-
form as to render it safe to leave him.
Now, the wonder is not that the pa
tient died, but that dragged and rolled
as he was said to be, under the reaper,
and wounded as he was, and bleeding
as he had bled, that he lived as long as
he did. ALFRED HEwErT, NJ. D.

Abolish the Sa|aried Chaplains.
BY A. GAYLORD sPALD1NG,

DEAR ED1ToR:-Yes, that is what
say. Do away with that extra and
foolish tax of old time monarchies and
priesthcods. It helps to feed, clothe,
shelter or benefit none of the countless
multitudes of workers now unemployed.
The Office Of chaplain in congress, legis-
lature, state prison, public asylums, or
the army and navy, no workingman
need sustain, for it is superauity of
expense-a dry bone of old fogy GUS
tom, superstition, and producing,
professional, middlemen aristocracy. It
is mere sinecure business. The chap
lain's duty is simply to slobber over the
assembled audience with sanctimo-
NOUS ceremony called prayer or divine
service, which serves merely as a fancy
trimming to business-though it is no
part of the business, and wholly unnec-
essary. 1t is an ancient tormality and
habit that we have outgrown. Labor
and Grange Reform requires its aboli-
ton. 1t will save to the people many
thousands Of dollars every year.
ANY band Ct workmen, in the plow-
ing or harvest field, the lumber camp,
mill, mine, factory, or machine shop,
needs chaplain to sober and sanctify
them and their business, just as much
as our representatives and senators, or
our convicts, lunatics, or soldiers. Think
OF employing, at a generous salary,
chaplain for blacksmith shop, print
ing Office, saw mill, or livery stable
Yet that would be just as proper and
legitimate. Why not? Legitimate
nonsense.
IN THE Army
the chaplain is paid ten-fol>i more than
the hard-6ghting private, though he
(the chaplain) neither works nor fights.
What in heavens name, then, is he
there for? Why, it is pious position
of a dressed-up, privileged gentleman, to
say over holy and solemn words Ga SOL
emn farce), just. to whitewash, sugar
coat, and give an air of pride, respecta-
bility and sanctity to the bratal, bloody,
devilish, horrible and CHASTITY business
Of war. Yet, workingmen soldiers are
strangely willing to sacrifice themselves
to the hideous Moloch, in order to be-
stow an easy and rich living on such a
lazy, dealhead, producing, Sinking
class of middlemen.
Let these simple, but honest headed
workers ta 1e shame to themselves, and
get up and git. They are unwittinyly
their own worst enemies, and willing
tools and cats-paws to the ruling powers,
and of professional, prlestly aristocrats
and monopolists.
But now, let the high command of
workingmen 60 forth to all legislators
to drop that needless and senseless off,
cial appendage and burden, expecting
every able-bodie,1 and sound-headed
man to be his own chaplain, to do his
own praying, and consecrate and sane
tify himself at his OWN expense, in OF
out Of The capitol. Imports
BUDDHIST PRAYING MACHINE,
if you must have the ceremony. That
will be cheap and permanent. ia SAL
ary-grab congress needs it, an honest
one does not. Get rid of the fancy,
privileged aristocracy-the leeches,

suck the life blood of working people.

has shaped the politics Of New York

Being abls; to control the party or
gamzation, it has named tho candi.
dates for the democratic party for
many elections. For long time
it was invincible, but Tweed by his
rascality gave it n severe blow, and
noarly demolished it. It had par-
tially recovered under tho "fsatier-
ship Of John Kelly, when it received
its recent overwhelming defeat at
the polls. The leading opposition
journals now claim, and very Justly,
that the Society is nuisance, and
that its existence is incompatible
with tho purity Of elections. They
ask tho legislature to repeal its
charter. Whether this will be done
we cannot tell. But it does appear
that politics would be better without
it. Tho Independent voter is abroad
in tho land. The day for purity die
tation is passing away, and Tam

die and he gathered into the bosom
