barn door, some eight or ten feet from the
ground, the wheels dropped from the door, the

splitting it back to his ear, and throwing him
out of the door with such force that he struck
twenty feet from the barn.

THE WASHBURNES.

4 correspondent OF the Chicago
Mter-Ocedn, says:
Minnesota is also the home Of Ig-
ed moment, while enjoying the fullest
possible measure of popular favor and
public confidence, left the high posi-
tion in which confding and admir-
ing people had placed him, and de-
scended into the pool, not to wash
himself, but to gather mud with
which to besmear a man whose public
career and private life have adorned
the history of his country in legisla-
tive and diplomatic services that can
not be obliterated without marring
the record Of our national progress
and international comfy.
That is cool. Elihu Washburne, for
that is the party referred to in these
eulogistic terms,-in 1866, without
any provocation whatever, made pub
lie attacksupon us of the most extraor-
dinary character, charging upon us all
manner of crimes and offences, no one
of which. did he ever substantiate, or
even attempt to substantiate; and we
replied to him upon the floor of con-
gress, and .scarried the war into At
rica," and so burned and blistered him
that even the balm of Grants patro-
mage could not cover the scars which
he will carry to his grave.
And, what is more, he made that
attack upon us as part of a cold-blood-
| ed scheme to drive us into private life
| and bring his Minnesota brother into
congress. In fact not a member of
the family is in public life to-day.
| They were lifted up, with much other
drift wood, on the swelling flood Of
the anti-slavery sentiment, and with
the ebbing of that tidal wave they have
slumped down again into their native
mud, and there they stick uneasily
to-day, mired, to the neck, but with
their arms spread imploring. and still
crying Justify ssolfice office !" They
have left behind them a fragran
memory, as the most selfish, arrogant
unscrupulous and unintellectual groul
of adventurers shat have ever appear
ed in American history.
Eihu's money was able to buy thu
creature Andrews to run as boltins
candidate against us and thus elec
the democratic candidate and preven
our return to congress in 1868. Ant
now the blue waves of the Atlantic
are carrying Andrews and Washburn
back to their native land, a pair o
played OUT, disgruntled, dead-bea
politicians. welcome them to th,

HORRIBLE.

We have all along declared that the
present financial policy would sooner
or later reduce the workingmen OF
this country to serfdom. we have
shown that the process has already
commenced in the New England states
by the passage of laws which deprive
those who are compelled to ask rellef
of the public authorities, to save
themselves from starvation, OF the IN
estimable right Of suffrage. And now
we have the terrible fact that the coal
miners of Pennsylvania are ready to
90 into state OF slavery If only they
can get the necessaries of life:
1t is said that the enslavement OF
the discontented would improve their
condition, and {; delegation or those
indiscribably wretched golfers OF
Scranton lately waited upon leading
man there, and presented petition
which contained these words:
r WE WILL BIND OURSELVES
TO BE YOUR SLAVES, TO TOLL
EARLY AND LATE, AS OUR
STRENGTH WILL PERMIT FOR
YOU, DURING ONE OR FIVE
YEARS. AND NEVER WILL ASK
YOU FOR ONE CENT OF WAGES,
IF YOU WILL ONLY GIVE Us
AND OUR FAMILIES PLAIN AND
SUFFICIENT FOOD, SUCH CLO-
THING AS WE REALLY NEED,
HOUSES TO LIVE IN, DOCTORS
AND MEDICINES WHEN WE
ARE SICK, AND BURRI Us
WHEN WE DIE. "-Neac York Sun.

The democrats of Ohio and the west
generally are greenbackers. the dem
ocrats of New England are engaged
in a base attempt TO out-hid the re-
-Dublicans in their devotion to the
money power. In Massachusetts there
is a greenback party, with Wendell
Phillips at it's head, as candidate for
governor. They have demanded the
repeal of the resumption laws, the re-
monetization of silver and the pre-
servation Of the greenbacks. And
vet tie democrats meet few days
thereafter and adopt al lengthy plat
form in which there is not one word
upon these great issues. The only
reference to the financial question is
the following:
Resolred, That we are in favor of
the honest payment Of the public debt
and of currency on the gold basis.
THE honest payment of the public
debt means the payment in gold
alone of bonds that by their terms are
payable in gold or silver. "a cur
rency on Il gold basis means con-
traction and resumption; and yet the
cowardly trimmers had not the cour.
age to say SO IN so many words.
Even upon the question Of free
trade, Il time-honored principle Of the
. old Jacksonian democrats. these de
q generate scions of worthy sires have
this ambiguous utterence:
Resolred, The present depression Of
the industrial. commercial and tinan
cial interests Of the country is large
" due to our inability under the pres
ent laws to dispose Of surplus pro
duce and sell better and cheaper thar
any other nation.
Why not come out ut once and sa,
s. they are in favor of free-trade insteat
of whipping the devil around tn
stump in this cowardly fashion!
But what can you expect from
political party which worships God il
one end of the country and Mammol
in the other.

Certainly the average slave OF 1897
was better fed and happier than the
millions Of workingmen in the United
States who are now without enough
to eat. And if the black man Of 1852
was a,slave how much better off will
the white man be in few years from
now. Look at Massachusetts where
one in seven during the past year have
been compelled to eat the bread OF
public charity, and achere they are dls-
trunchised by so Goingt'
Disfranchise the poor white men Of
the country, and leave them the help
less slaves Of capital, and their condl-
ton will be infinitely worse than that
of the black slaves OF the south IN
1859. Even now the miners of Penn
sylvania present a picture OF squalid
wretchedness and suffering without a
parallel on the plantations of the
south. The slave-owners of the south
were compelled to support their Ia
borers sick or well, in the season of
labor or the season or idleness. Our
northern slave-owners knows tcO
much for that.

OUR FRIENDS THE HOPPTRS.

The Pioneer-Press said the other
day:
The 'hoppers or locusts which have
been such Il sore plague to the people
of Minnesota for several years, have
un1uestionably determined to give
us Il rest by seeking other pastures
green. Many of those which have not
died from natural causes while on the
wing are found in northern New
York and northern Ohio, still retain
ing their enormous appetites, but
without some of the peculiarities
which characterized their several
raids upon Minnesota. In northern
New York they have injured gardens
and flower beds considerably. but have
not worked anything like the general
destruction, which marked their histo-
ry here, and makes their departure
from Minnesota most agreeable and
auSplclouS event. In northern Ohio
some of the pastures are visibly af-
fected by them. but the hard, clayey
soil does not furnish very inviting
field for the usual deposit, and it is
hoped the hungry brutes'' may break
their spinal columns in the effort to
''plant next years crop" The eggs
cannot be deposited with such facili-
ty rs in the soft loans or sands of the
northwest, and the race may be con-
sidered as the gradual extinction in
the localities indicated. Some NAV be
inclined to doubt that the hopper of
New York and Ohio is relative of
our plain friend. but they seem identi-
cal in every respect. even down to the
little red parasite which made the life
of the indigenous insect burden. 1t

upon the eastern states will give us
no farther trouble; their young will
be devoured next spring by the birds;
while there are none west Of us for
thousands of miles. Under these cir
cumstances, Minnesota can reasona-
bly, look forward to long period of
exemption from the ravages; and
when they come again we will be pre-
pared to meet them.

THE WAY IT VENT IN MAINE.

The greeneack has suddenly sprung
up in Maine and has developed rapid
ly. Last year they were without an
organization and this year they are
polling a very large vote. Take this
item as an illustration:
The Republicans elect their entire
county ticket in Hancock county by
majorities ranging from 800 to 200.
Androscoggin county, except three
towns, gives Connor l,446: Williams,
800; Mnnson, 953. All the republi-
can candidates for representatives are
elected in Lewiston and Auburn.
This county is headquarters for the
greenback party, which has polled a
large vote, the majority of which
comes from the Democrats.
Here it will be perceived that the
greenback vote for Manson is nearly
as large as the Democratic vote; and
considerably more than one third the
Republican vote.
This is pretty good for rag baby
only few months old. What has
been accomplished in Hancock county
this year can be realized next year al
over the state. Verify. the good
cause is growing.

4 DREADFUL PICTURE.

We find in a Wilkesbarre special,
Sept. 9th to the Chicago Tribune, the
following terrible picture of the con-
dition of the miners Of Pennsylvania:
The outlook is more threatening to-
day and there is no probability of a
break in the deadlock. No decision
has yet been reached by the commit
tee who are to report on the accept
ance of Charles Parish & Co. S offer to
resume operations. It is likely that
the result will be IA refusal to hold any
further negotiations until the 25 per
cent. demand is Obtained.-a result
truly deplOrable. and one that would
plunge the coal regions into a state Of
laWlessness in which bloodshed could
not be avoided. Bands of strikers are
holding secret drills, but make known
none of their purposes. From differ
ent directions come reports of intimi-
datiOn at the mines, and thlevery in
the farming districts, which are in
creasing daily. The presence Of the
troops is absolutely imperative, and
they are constantly ON the move from
one disaffect I'd lointto another where
violence is attempted.
The destitution among the mining
population is becoming more and more
marked, and there is such an alarming
increase in the number Of vagrants,
largely composed Of women and chill
dren. that the authorities are about to
take the matter in hand. The poor
farm is crowded to its utmost capaci-
ty and the poor board is converting
an immense bankrupt organ factory in
this city into a workhOuse, where the
destitute will be supported by their
own labor. Relief stores for the dis
tributions of supplies which are secur-
ed by voluntary donations are being
opened at various points, but are in
sufficient to meet the demand. A
prolific source of dissatisfaction
among the miners is the fact that the
more thrifty and industrious ones
who have purchased small homes, are
deprived from obtaining any relief
| and are compelled, in many cases, tC
sacrifice their hard-earned property
while the improvident element re
ceives daily supplies.
1t is sad to think that this refers tt
citizens of the great republic in the
10Th century.
| An organ factory is turned into al
aims house for starving miner. Musi
went up long ago, and now one of th,
necessaries of life, fuel, is at a dis
count, and even industry seeks tn
bread of charity.
