SETH WEGHr's SHEEr.-ln the year
l1gl there was farmer Of the name
Of seth Wright in Massachusetts, who
had a flock OF sheep consisting Of q
ram and some twelve or thirteen ewes.
Oi this flock Of ewes, one at the
breeding bore a lamb which was very
singuiarIy formed it had very long
body with very short legs, and those
legs were bowed. If this peculiar
build had presented no practical utili-
ty,il probably would have disappeared
in time; some OF the offspring Of the
lamb IN question would have inherI-
ted ,hcir parents structure but sue
ce>sIve admINtureS OF The normal type
would have cfiacrd the exception. 1t
50 happened, however, that in The part
OF Massachusetts where Seth Wright
was living, the fields were separated
by fences, and As the sheep were ac-
tive and robust, they often oyerleaped
these fences TO stray into the neigh
boring farms, causing thereby much
pickering anlqnarreiing, 1t occurred, ,
therefore, to Seth Wright, who was,
Ike his successors, more or less cute,
that if he could get a stock Of sheep
ike those with the baniy IegS, they
would not be able to jump over the
fences 50 readily, ana he acted upon
this idea. lie killed his old ram, and
rs scOn rs the young one arrived At
maturity he bred altogether from ii.
The offspring, We are told were always
either pure AnconS ( the bow legged
tyne ! or ordinary sheep. Seth Wright
kept the two types carefully arart,aud
allowed the Ancons to breed with one
another. In consequence Of this, the
farmer was able in the course Of few
years to get very considerable flock
Of this variety, and if the M~rino
sheep introduced "a short time later
had not proved more advantageous in
all respects. the Aucon breed would
probably still cover Massachusetts,

Anti.Monopo|y Platform.

The following is the platform adopted at
the Owatonna convention
WHEREAS, Our fathers established free
government and enjoined it upon their suc-
cessors to preserve it for posterity; and,
WHEREAS, Through official corruption
and special legislation it has been perverted
and is now made instrumental in aggran-
dizing the rich and depressing the poor; and
WHEREAS, Both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties include Monopolists in their
mem oership and are controlled by them, and
it is not, therefore, supposable that needed
reforms can be effected through their agen-
cy; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is our solemn conviction
that if the government continues to be
administered as it has been the time is not
far distant when the overthrow Of our free
institutions will be complete-be it, there
fore,
Resolved, That We, the people Of Mime
sofa, in Convention assembled, pledge our
selves to unite in new organization, to be
called the ADti-Monopoly party, with q
view to separate independent political &C.
ton, and that We declare the following to
be the principles to procure the adoption Of
which, as the policy upon which our govern
AoutdA 8A0A1s suaIl % cO0OucCeQ, We Will
use all honorable available means on all
proper occasions.
l. That, as labor produces the wealth of
the nation, the prime object OF government
should be to secure the freedom, prosperity
and happiness Of its laboring people; and
that as capital is but means to aid labor
in developing the resources Of the country
and facilitating commerce, legislation tend
ing to empower capitalists TO Cypress the
industrial classes is radically wrong and
condemnable.
2. That ours is equally the government
of citizens of all colors, races, nativities,
conditions, and religious creeds, and that,
politically, We will know no distinctions be-
tween these, pandering to none and contemn-
ing none, but endeavoring to treat all with
equal regard and justice, as fellow citizens
having the same rights. interests, aspirations
and virtues as ourselves.
3. That we oppose protective tariff be-
cause it must discriminate in favor of mo-
nopolists and against the general public,
but that there should be q tariff for revenue.
4. That as strict economy in the admin
istration of public affairs is essential to the
welfare Of the country, no unnecessary Of
fees should be allowed to exist. legislative
bodies should have no more members than
the needs of the community require, and Of
fetal salaries should all be reduced to
the lowest amounts consistent with a
proper regard for the public reputation,
bearing it in mind that office-holding should

IHE Pioneer-Press calls MI. Ra-
hllly, the Democratic candidate for
State Auditor, "a clever enough
wild Irlshman; a sort of clod-hop-
ping farmer, with as little special
fitness for the discharge of the diff
cult, tangled and responsible duties
of the auditors Office, as an ape
wouldhave for the duties of a priest"
1t is not pretended that Mr.. Rahilly
is thorough scholar, but we under
take to say that he is educationally
the equal of MI: Whitcomb and
naturally far superior to him. The
only advantage Mr.. Whitcomb has
consists in his experience as treas
urer of Olmsted county for eight
years and in the State Auditors Of,
fee for three years. Give Mr..
Rahilly six months experience in
the office and he will be as capable
as the present incumbent to trans
act all the business. Remember
that when Mr.. Whitcomb was first
elected to Office he, too, was "a
clod-hopping farmer" and an un-
successful one at that. One thing
is sure, Mr.: Rahilly will hardly ever
be charged with many mistakes"
in transacting public business.
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-09-08

suredly not. And, if reforms may
be so readily effected by our union
with the former, what is to prevent
our eAecting the same reforms by
uniting with the latter? We cannot
understand why there should be any
distinction. But Mr.. Donnelly con-
tinues:
Suppose the Anti Monopolists refuee all
coalition with the Opposition; and suppose
Mr.. Pillsbury to be elected Governor by
5000 majority, and the Anti-Monopolists
poll, say, $500; what peal cf derisive
laughter would ring out over the whole
State; how the railroad men would mock
the $500 fools who had emasculated them
selves; who had thrown their votes away
and were pledged to throw their votes away
forever. who fears gun that won't shoot?
who wants cow that will give no milk
And who desires to unite his fortunes with
party that cannot win and has no hope of
ever winning?
Suppose that we should coalesce
with the Democrats and still get
beaten by the Republicans, which is
not only likely but, as it seems to
US, inevitable, who would be the OBJ
ject of "derisive laughter" then?
Would not everybody denounce the
Anti Monopoly leaders, and say that
they were rightly served for having
attempted to sell out their party to
the corrupt St. Paul Democratic
ring? Certainly they would, and all
future attempts to resuscitate and
reorganize the Anti-Monopoly party
would be in vain. We should kill
our cause, our friends, and ourselves,
and to please whom? Those cor
rupt political intriguers in St. Paul,
who only manage the Democratic
party that they may defeat it and
thus continue to divide the spoils of
Office with their Republican con-
freres.
But, says Mr.. Donnelly, Who
7ya,lks coao that 7viX .give no milk2"
So! that's what's the matter is it?
Our Anti Monopoly COW hasn't
"come in" yet, and you can't wait
till the period of CESSATION expires?
But would you kill the COW, friend,
when she is SO likely, and will prob
ably not only yield abundance of
milk for the leaders, but for the peo-
pie, also, in the very early future?
Or, would you swap her off for the
Democratic COW, that went dry six
teen years ago? Certainly not. If
we must have mich COW now-if
we can't wait-wouldn't it be best
to take the Republican beast in
charge? She yields we'll, we all
know, but only to the leaders.
If, however, any of our Anti-Mo-
nopoly friends are suffering for milk,
we advise them not to put their
trust in the Democratic COW ever
coming in again, but go right over
to the Republican pasture where
milk is already plenty. AS for our
self, we can wait on our Anti-Mo-
nopoly animal, and then when its
season comes all the people will
have enough, and the leaders and
followers can rejoice together, and
that fellow who has climbed tree
with a bag Of plunder, will be glad
enough to come down, and beg for
share in The general prosperity.
We won't waste our substance by
swapping it for a shadow, if we stand
firmly by the Anti-Monopoly BAN
ner and refuse to accept foes for
allies. We are afraid our friend
Donnelly is chasing a dry COW, and
one which will kick him over as soon
as he catches up with it. So! bos-
sy! won't quiet that beast, Ignatius.
Not a bit of it.

THE St. Paul Dispatch remarks
upon our long editorial of last week.
1t will do for us or Mr.. Wheelock to
write long articles. The people will
read them. But we would advise
Mr.. Hall to be brief. Ten lines of
his is as much as the reader ought
to endure at a single dose, and half
column would be dangerous.
