BOSH.

A capital burlesque is the following;
it sounds as if it had been taken from
the columns of our valued contemporary,
the Pioneer-Press:
At recent meeting Of the Reform League OF
advocating the abolition Of interest on money,
and claimed that the hard times and accom-
naryiuo evils were the result Of stealing accor-
ding to law. He read the following paper,
said to have been written. by tramp, and
picked up in the street It a country vii
lag g,oa,,o.;on IS tho c.nse If hard times.
therefore if the people produced less they
would have more Laughter and applause.
This is in accordance with the well known law,
the more you put down the less you take up
santi up and look pleasant Loud laughter
| If the farmer glows an abundance o. wheat,
corn, cucumbers, and cabbage, according to
the political economy of rice and molasses,
we must suffer for the want OF corn, cucum-
bers, and cabbage, but if there is scarcity OF
these commodities we shall have plenty Of
them. [Laughter.] This comes through the
philosophy Of deduction from the law OF sup.
ply and demand. Applause and Laughter. J
ket that we cannot be we'll shod-but burn up
the present stock and we will be well supplied
in that direction. The great mass OF people
to day are destitute Of money, and that Is pc
cause interest is so low and the money lies
idle in the banks. Now raise the rate OF inter-
est by contracting the currency. then business
would revive and everybody would flourish.
God bless the idiots! [Renewed and long con-
tinued laughter.] Business being dull because
of overproduction, stop production and all
would be actively employed! Men are idle
to-day because Of overwork last year; thus
more idleness more work. [Laughter.] This
truth cannot be applied to the farmer, who
works all summer to fill his barn with hay, :o1
in his case he must work in the winter to feed
out the hay; but what am presenting is only
sort of eight hour philosophy for those who
want situation in the custom-house. Busl-
; ness men fail because Of overtrading. Rene
DIV? Less trading! [Boisterous laughter.l The
factory operator should not strike for higher
!, wages because if he succeeds in obtaining
them it would initiate the currency and brlnt
about speculation and extravaganza. Th'
workincman should have no money on Satur
} day night, because he is apt to get drunk, 10
5 it IS fact, poorly paid workers are more tenn
, perate, pay their bills, support the gospel, tn
+ newspapers, etc, better than those who get
$ few surplus dollars beyonda bare subsistence.

The committee on finance Of the Wisconsin
senate. in obedience to instructions, reported
ON Tuesday long list Of disbursements Of the
state treasury, some of which have the appear

several items charged to ex-Governor W. K.
Taylor. There is one payment amounting to
S5OO. to W J. Abernethy, which ELECTS the
following criticism from The Milwaukee Sem
tinel:
"Mr. Abernethy is citizen Of Minnesota and
the editor Of All agricultural paper there. Last
wear he visited . number Of cities on the line of
the improvement, held meetings, and asked
for subscriptions to dsfray his expenses It
Washington IS lobbyist in behalf Of larger

that Gov. Taylor caused him to BE- paid out Of

money was rather worse than wasted, tor Mr..
Aber1ethv has impressed some very reputable
gentlemen who have come in contact with him

The republican papers are now trying
to demonstrate that Belknap and Grant
are both democrats, and hence their sins.
The Red Wing Republican says:
General Grant, who was, and is, Of Demo-
cratic blood and instinct.
While the Pioneer-Press startles the
land with what it calls conclusive proof
that Belknap was Democrat up to the
time of his admission to Grants cab
met!
Really this is hard on the Democracy.
If man does we'll he is a republican
but if he is caught stealing he is forth
with a democrat. How soon will Logan
Morton, Ben Butler, &c. be ranked as
Democrats?

Donnelly was out at the reform school yes
terday, and he had about completed arrange,
ments for having The Anti-Monopolist printed
and edited by the shoemaSers. thinkers and
tailors of that establishment, who will be able
to materially improve The ANTI Monop. De-
cause almost anything would improve it.
Pioneer Press.
1t would exhaust the powers of On
impotence to improve the local editors
of the Pioneer-Press. They are utterly
given over to evil.
But why this uneasiness about the
hundred and odd boys at the Reform
School learning the art Of printing? Is
it feared that they might some day dc
the states printing for nothing, ant
thus take $4,000 per year out OF TIT
pockets of certain publishers? Hey
Son of Satan answer US that!

Frank Daggett says Donnelly going to
break five hundred acres next spriDg onhis
new farm in Stevens county. This recalls to
our mind an anecdote of Donnelly's Nininger
farming. 1t was said by one Of his neghbors
that Mrs. D. sent the Governor away during
the harvest time, and managed the crew her
self. for when he was allowed to be there. he
would stop the teams in the field, gather the
hands around him, and spend the golden
hours in making speeches. This was fun for
the men, but bad for his ripening grain, and
the good practical lady couldn't and wouldn't
stand it.-S,ill,oater Gazette.
This is another vile SANDER; but even
if it were true it simply demonstrates
how much more anxious we were to EN-.
tighten the minds of the people than te
put money in our purse.
