The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-05-23
The lmpatience of Bill Washburn to

The impatience of Bill Washburn to
go to Congress Is so great, so overpow-
erlng, so Unsuitable, that he cannot even
walt until DR.. Stewart has served his
second term. He feels that .'the fami-
ly are disappearing into the ranks Of
the common people and something
must be done and at once to restore
the proprieties of the universe and put
at least one Washburn into office.
Like the boy with the woodchuck she
must have it; the family are out Of
meat.
Whenever Washburn wants any,
thing he ''wants it bad" and his first
step Is to resort to some dirty trick to
OBTAIN it. Thus when Bill wanted to
go to Congaess in 1868 he got his big
brother Elihu to assail the incumbent
with lot of foul and slanderous
charges, so that over his PROSTATE BODY
and ruined reputation William might
stride to greatness. And now as Eli
hu Is no longer in Congress, but is ut
terry played out, as an exposed and
disgraced demagogue, Bill gets control
Of the district congressional committee
and makes an apportionment so that
his county obtains several more dele
gates In the convention than it is fairly
entitled to, and then he has the time for
holding the convention fixed for july
10th so that Stewart will not be home
to canvass the district. The reeult is
storm of considerable magnitude in
the Republican ranks.
History repeats itself. We hops
that Bill will make the came now
ments made by his friends in 1868
Let him get up bogus delegations in
half the counties carried for Stev,rt.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-05-23

let his friends on the district commit
tee then issue notice that no dele
gate shall enter the hall of the conven-
ton unless he has a ticket signed by
their secretary; then let him place po-
llceman on the stairs, with orders to
arrest and carry off enough ofStewart's
delegates, if they attempt to enter the
hall, to give his side the organization
OF the convention. In this way he
may secure the nomination and he will
be elected-as Andrews was,

Birds of feather flock together
The man McCann of Anoka, who was
Washburn's toady and lickspittle in
1868, crops up again in 1873 as Wash
burns tool. He appeared in the re-
cent meeting of the district committee,
held in Minneapolis, as proxy for
Campbell, one of the members of the
committee ,ohie Campbell 'ras himself
az the room.
A proxy is supposed to represent an
absent person. n proxy who acts
while the principal is present was new
err before heard of. The explanation
is plain:-Dirty work was demanded
from which Campbell recoiled, and SO
he very properly appointed McCan,
and rs he could not trust him out of
his sight he went there to see that he
did it, And he did it,
The presence of such narrow headed
bitter hearted, small-souled men as
McCann in this world, goes far to sup
port the Persian theory that occasion
ally God turns over his creative power
to the devil. McCann was slipped into
the world in one of these unfortunate
moments. How else could he have
got here.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Young man, you may 60 up hill as
fast as you please, but go down hill slow.
The heart is a book which we ought
not to tear in our hurry to get at its
contents.
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back by love and persuasion.
One kiss is worth thousand kicks. A
kind word is more valuable to the lost
than mine of gold.
The character of wise and good man
consists in three things-to do himself
what he tells others to do, to act on no
occasion contrary to justice, and to bear
with the weaknesses of those about him.
1t is very easy to spoil children by
rearing them in idleness. A girl who
is never allowed to sew, all of whose
clothes are made for her and put on her
till she is twelve, fifteen, or eighteen
years of age is spoiled. The true idea
OF selt-restralnt is to let the child yen-
ture.
1t must be great satisfaction at the
close of life, to be able to look back on
the years which are passed, and to feel
that you have lived; not for yourself
alone, but that you have been useful to
others. You may be assured, also, that
the same feeling is source of comfort
and happiness at any period Of life
There is nothing in this world so good
as usefulness. It binds your fellow crea-
lures to you, and you to them it tends
to the improvement of your own charac-
ter, and it gives you zeal and Importance
in society-much beyond what any arti-
fetal station can bestoW.

let's words: 80 God ! I could be bound
ed in nutshell, and count myself
king of infinite space, were it not that I
have bad dreams p I was absolutely
sure, when starting on that preliminary
drive last week, that I should see the
spot. I knew it was a foregone conclu-
sion, SO that when we turned the brow
of that last big down, and came upon
what they call the Whiteways, and the
hill road running past the chalk-cutting
lay before me, I instantly recognized the
place which had for all these years been
the one prevailing picture of my dream.

This is the month of roses. Also of
thornses. Likewise of bugses and beeses,
and the chicken-pox.
A doctor says whenever person
sneezes he should take drink of water
and he will not catch cold. Some men
would rather chance the cold.
1t doesn't do bit of good to 90 to
picnic and stand on the river-bank and
admire the gorgeous sunset, and talk
about the tender beauties of nature to
man who has just sat down on custard
pie.
Nothing beats lightning for speed,
unless it is the way a boy jumps out of
bed these mornings, when, after his
mother has shouted herself hoarse for
him to get up, he finally hears the tread
of his daddy's boots upon the lower step
of the stairs.
A big Yankee from Maine, on paying
his bill in London rertaurant, was told
that the sum put down didn't include
the waiter. "Wall." he roared, 81 didn't
eat any waiter, did II" He looked as
though he could, though, and there was
no further discussion.
While the boundary line of Virginia
and North Carolina was in dispute the
residence of lady was uncertain as to
the state. When the line was finally
established she was in Virginia. 81 am
very glad of it, she observed, ''for North
Carolina is always such sickly state"
Two young men were out fishing the
other day, and on returning were going
past farm house and felt hungry. They
yelled out to the farmers daughter :
"Girls, have you any buttermilk ?'' The
reply was gently waited back to their
ears: Eyes; but we keep it for our OWL
calves"
An actress, whose fresh smile and
silver voice favored the deception, al
ways called herself "sweet sixteen.
She stated her age as sixteen in court as
a witness. Her son was directly after
ward called up and asked how old ht
was. 'Six months older than mother,
was the honest reply.

few more stitches and all will be over

A visit to the great republic has be-
come as necessary feature in the edu-
cation of finances as the ''grand tour"
of the continent formerly was. Bismarck
has proposed to the crown prince of
Germany to send his son, Frederick
William Victor Albert, to the United
States for six months, to confirm the
friendly relation of the countries, and
especially to put damper on socialism.
This young man is now 20 years of age,
grandson of the two great soverigns of
the age. Emperor William and Queen
Victoria, and heir to the German throne.
His father is near his accession to the
throne, and the present is favorable
time for the absence of the next in line.
He would be cordially received by the
American people.

Physicians tell us freckles are consti-

is no remedy; or accidental, appearing
only in summer in persons who have a
very delicate skin. The following are

none of them injurious to the complexion.

THE COUNTRY NEwspAPER.-The .lit-
tie country newspaper" is the best read
paper in the world. No other contains
news of the marriages and deaths, to
say nothing of divorces and births no
other relates the accidents happening
before the doors of the villagers no
other gives the time for the next ball,
picnic, or political meeting; no other
discusses the affairs of the town and
county, the arrival of the new goods on
the merchants counters, or of a new hat
on the editors desk. Without paper,
the town that has ever enjoyed a we'll
managed one, feels indeed lost.--Prac-
