This Is how Bismarck looked
when meeting his enemies In de-
bate I'm the German Parliament :
"His gigantic frame fairly trem-
bled with passion, his gray eyes
flashed, aud heavy moustache
bristlcd ; paper he took up during
the first speech, for purpose Of ref
erence, vibrated visibly in the pas
sionate grasp OF bis sinewy hands,
and ever and anon his closely but
toned uniform became tense almost
to splitting across his huge chest,
as he sat back his shoulders and
threw up his head, regarding his
foes with that implacsble glance
which never fails TO shake the
strongest nerves, when he darts It
ut an object Of his hatred or con-
tempt. In the course ofnn expert.
ence neither brief nor ordinary, l
have seen many remarkable men
ut moments when they have been
expected to labor under excitement
Of the MOST vehement description ;
but l have never yet witnessed the
consciousness Of unbounded power
expressed IN the physique and
bearing Of a human being as saw
II In Prince Bismarck. As he stood
forward, facing the house, the ma
turnl sternness of his aspect accent
ed by the natural rigidity Of his
military tenue, lie looked to mo
like Colossus, unquestIonably Gu
pable Of bearing upon his mighty
shoulders cares and responsibilities
that would crush q common mortal
into powder"

Merrill and Sheridan have pa
radcd tho statement that IN some
parishes IN Louisiana, the white
people had pledged themselves TO
no longer employ those who per-
sistently aud blindly voted to ruin
them. These military statesmen
thought this was very outrageous
on the part Of the white people OF
Louisiana. What, then, do they
think of their master, who IN his
impotent- malice against William
Cullen Bryant, the oldest aud no.
blest Republican editor in tho
Union, withdrew the government
advertisements from the New
York POST? Mr.. Bryant was a
Republican editor when Grant
was hauling wood. Mr.. Bryant's
great ability contributed to Gle.
vatc Grant to tho power he now
abuses. But Mr.. Bryant, like cv-
cry other independent Republican
llas dared to condemn the Louisi-
ana outrage; and consequently he
is made to feel the wrath Of the
offended administration. 1t is a
pitif'ul proceeding on the part Of
the President, but the grand old
editor soars far above petty spite,
and the Post will live and com.
inand respect, even though its col
nms bear no official patronage.

But when the last great avalanche
Of water came, the curtain fell and

can majority should take a,lvan-
tage Of their opportunity, and at
this session appropriate money
enough to supply the army for two
fiscal years instead Of one, as has
been the practice since the founda-
tlon Of the Government. This pro-
position, which almost borders on
revolution, finds special favor am
ong the carpet-baggers, and the
more extreme men like Butler and
Morton. The i,lea (it is allrged)
first came from the immediate
friends Of. the President, who, 1t Is
authoritatlvely stated, indorscs the
sche me, and Is anxious TO see II
carried.
The party leaders, who are driven
almost to the verge Of despair, feel
that unless they have free swing
with the military In the South,
there is no prospect whatever Of be-
Ing able to carry single Southern
State in 1875, and that, In fact. I'm
less the different rotton Republican
State governments are sustained as

the right thing for a candidate to do,
but we would not advise those on
the Democratic ticket to follow Mr.:
Pillsburys example.
The Winona & St. Peter rail-
road, controlled mainly by Demo-
Gratis, and operating under the Morse
law, framed and passed mainly by
Democrats, has advanced its rates
of freights two cents per hundred
pounds on wheat and -four. This
will increase the tax on farmers de-
pending on that road for transporta-
ton, some $4,000. Still Donnelly
says that Democrats are good
enough Anti-Monopolists.
The Waseca Radical is wrong
in saying that Gov. Taylor, Of Wis.,,
is a Democrat. He is not. When
he went into the Reform party, he
avowedly separated himself from
the Democrats, and has not since
shown any disposition to return.
The Pioneer-Press may be ex-
pected to move for the abolition of
the Mississippi river soon. 1t &C
cuses the river of being a granger,
and working against the railroads.
The Pennsylvania Democracy
adopted resolution favoring the
substitution of greenbacks for bank
notes, and denouncing contraction
of the volume of the currency.
Pat. Childs, of the Waseca Rad
ical, heads an article: "What's the
use of lying?" We refer him to the
St. Paul editors. They ought to be
able to tell.

In 1873 the Reform party Of
Wisconsin, Notwithstanding the op-
position of Democratic managers,
nominated and elected an entire
State ticket. The Democrats did
not even injure the reputation of the
movement by endorsing its platform
and candidates, as was unfortunate
ly the case in this State. After the
election, however, they called it a
"Democratic' victory. This year,
On the eve Of holding the State con-
vention, the Democratic dry-bones
came together to concoct schemes
for defeating the Reform movement.
The first thing they did was to de-
nounce the official conduct of Gov.
Taylor, and seek to injure him by
false statements as to the conse-
quences Of his policy. Finding their
invective harmless, they next pro-
ceeded to condemn the party in the
public estimation, by associating
themselves with the Reformers and
calling the convention the "Dcmo-
cratic and Liberal Reform and In
Independent" party convention. We
are glad to learn that reformers gen.
orally attended the convention and
managed it, and renominated the en-
tire ticket of State officers who were
elected two years ago. The Demo
cratic intriguers did not exert in
fluence enough to tinge the COM
plexion Of the body, although they
have cast over it the baleful shadow
of their name. We hope the people
Of Wisconsin will not regard this
shadow, for it is exceedingly atten-
uated, but go up and vote heartily
to replace in power the gallant w.
r. Taylor, who has certainly made
an excellent governor, and stuck
firmly by the principles Of reform.

state omceS. we wonder If ne
thinks that the installation in power
Of the St. Paul Democratic ring-mas-
tiers would amount to a "letting go"
by the "old corruptionists?" Does
he not know that it would only be
putting the other member OF the
firm in the lead? Instead of the
sign reading Ramsey, Lee & Co.,
it would be changed to Lee, Ram

Senator Alcorn, Of Mississippi,
charges the Democrats of that state
with the responsibility for Gov:
Ames' election, and says that their
avowed policy was to make the
state hell first, and Democratic at
terwards. The truth is, the leaders
of both the old parties, who are part
ners in roDbing the people, are con-
cerned in stir ng up the southern
troubles, so as to keep the people of
the entire country divided on old
party lines, and thus prevent their
uniting in a third party, to effect re-
forms. 1t is not the negro who is at
the bottom of these outbreaks, but
the usurers and pot-house politicians,
whose regular business is robbiAg
the people.
Mr.. P. H. Rahilly accepts the
nomination for State Auditor on the
Demi. REP. ticket, vice Mr.. Doran,
declined. Now let the Pioneer
Press uot out its scholarly candi-
date, Mr.. Whitcomb, and make him
display his immense attainments.
We will venture that the "clod-hop-
ping" wild Irishman" who opposes
him will double discount him in any
branch Of education he may select,
except, perhaps, pulling wool over
the eyes Of voters.
Our neighbor Of the Argus has
put too much confidence in the Tai
sey story. We are neither waiting
to be asked, nor are we willing to
accept the gubernatorial or any other
nomination. We are, and propose
to remain, simply worker in the
Anti-Monopoly party. For the CON-
pliment that the "party might go
farther and fare worse" we thank
our neighbor, but then, that is not
our fault.
The Pioneer-Press compliments
VIM. S. King, because the latter
was ready and anxious for trial when
the perjury case against him was re-
Gently called in the District of Col
umbia court. Theprosecution, how
ever, was not ready, for the reason
that the witnesses on that side are
absent in Europe! No wonder that
Mr.: King is ready and anxious be-
fore they get home.
An exchange says the Demo-
cratic party has carried California.
No acknowledgment of the aid re.
ceived from Anti-Monopolists is
made. But, then, it's an old habit
