ADVERSELY.

Affair in the mountain fastneSs,
Where man foot has never trod,
Where the cloven feet of wild goats
Have not pressed the virgin sod =
There in the silent, messy keep,
IN the rocky canon lone and deep.
Are woven the threads of silver CLEAN
That form the mighty rivers stream.
Eastward, in golden gate of morn,
Where sunbeam, ever relgns,
Where the sombre pail OF darkness
Days perfection never stains
There come. through pearly gates OF GeW.
That Angels for their passage drew,
The woven rays of sunshine bright
That give our happy world its light.
Thus the souls Of men and nations.
From the unseen sources Tar,
Pressing onward, ever onward.
Following Freedom guiding star
They come from lands of rising sun.
Where his rays fall when day is done
Drawn to the hope of being free
BY that subtle cord, Adversely.

Ii has been said that Prof. Asa Gray
is the only living American who, pre-
vious to the late election of Prof. Simon
Newcomb, has been made a foreign
member of the London Royal Society.
1t IS an error, as the name of Prof.
Benz. F. Pierce, of Cambridge, Mass,
stands in the list of foreign members OF
the society.

The st. Paul papers are trying to
make it appear that we are abusing
Ole Lien. How unjust! Have we
not proposed Ole for president of these
United States Have we not compli-
mented his fair proportions and his
profound intelligence in terms that
might possibly be considered by some
as extravagant When have we
spoken unkindly of Ole! Never -!
Perish the thought.
And now some base wretch writes
us from Chippewa county. ''that Ole
has more legs and ears than a jack
rabbit, and less sense. The man who
would utter such an atrociOus senti-
ment deserves to be hanged, drawn
and quartered.
No; Ole and Onrself are friends and
we repudiate all who would SANDER
him.

The signs multiply that Grant and
Empire are among the future posi-
bilities. At the Iowa Republican
convention. held last week. the fol-
lowing occurred:
James T. Wilson was called out. and
made a stirring speech. endorsing the
platform and closed by saying that
the old Republican ship is drifting
back to port. and we may be obliged
again to recall Gen. Grant to reform
the heresy which has crept into the
party the past two years. Mention of
Grants name was greeted with a
storm of applause.
And very properly the same con
vention adopted the hardest kind of a
hard-money plank viz:
The wisdom of the financial policy
of the party is evident from its re-
suits in practical resumption already
accomplished, funding of the national
debt at lower interest. and mainte-
nance of the national credit, and any
change in this policy is denounced as
wholly evil and injurious.
Grant. gold, and large standing
army are the natural stepping stones
by which this country is to pass from
the principles of Thomas jefferson
back to the principles of George the
Third.

Silver is getting to be an intolerabe nui
sance Men are loaded down with it, and do
not know how to get rid of it, and it accumu-
lates upon them; but they can not pay duties
with it, nor force it upon the government, nor
settle private accounts with it. They are
gorged with it; factories and banks are con-
gested with it, and there are no means of
getting rid oft As for the Bland silver, it
will STAY in the United States vaults and sill
yer certificates will be issued for it This is
a kind of experience. The certificates will
circulate at a rate above green backs, because
duties can I've paid with them. And yet they
cannot be bought with fractional silver and
trade dollars. Here is pretty outcome OF
Democratic legislation. No one is thankful
vet for the currency doings of this congress
Ii con gress does not get home in few days it
will be overw helmed with petitions to undo
its silver coinage ls.-Philadelphia Press.
Yes. a pretty outcome of both Re-
publican and Democratic legislation
which by such tricks and lodges has
brought to nought the reconciliation
of silver. Silver is nuisance because
it cannot be used to pay duties, or to
settle private accounts or even to buy
silver certificates. 1t is a sort of
financial bastard. like the greenbacks.
And all to make gold and gold-bearing
bonds more valuable.
The country needs the National
party in power to put a stop to such
eyaSiOns and iinesse.

while the total export of wheat from

The following from Boston letter

evidence for the Register that the

that Greenback candidate will run
against him-possibly Colonel II. B..
Sargent. who has a fine residence in
Essex county, and has become a fiery
champion of the greenback. Should he
run for congress he will draw away
500 to 1000 Republican votes from

We really owe an apology to Ole
Lien! Our reader will admit that we
do so when we give the facts
Some time since we stated that Ole
was encountered in the corridors of
the Merchants Hotel in the beginning
of the last session of the legislature,
by Major Bowler. of Renville county,
of whom he inquired the way ''to the
room of the School Book Ring.
He was taking his legislative pigs
to market.
Now Ole comes out and denies this
charge savagely, and denounces us as
liar, a slanderer and a calumniatOr,
for, he says, it was Hon. W. NJ. Camp
bell of Meeker county that he met
there and then, and not Major Bow
Ter.
We hasten to do Ole justice. His
explanation exonerates him perfectly

invites the cooperation of all honest
citizens in the following language:
I'VE cordially invite all patriotic and
free citizens of this state who may
subscribe to the foregoing resolutions

with us in establishing new party OF

The Republican county convention at Wi
mona, before selecting delegates to the first
district convention, adopted, on motion of
Hon. Thomas Simpson, the following decla-
ration:
"That never in the history of the nation
has there been greater demand than the pres
ent for the best talent and experience in the
management and direction of public affairs. -
That's the reason the Republicans
propose to keep Strait in congress.

The halycon days have come, and the set
tier, not the railroad, is king. Now, any
proposed legislation against railroad and in
favor OF a settler, is pretty sure OF success.
There can be no greater political crime now
than hostility to settlers rights. This is as
it should be, Tor the settler is the real tounda-
ton and backbone to country's prosperity
And to the Anti-Monopoly is due
the credit of producing the healthy
state of public opinion on the respect
i've rights of the people and the
railway corporations.

Speaker Randall and other Pennsylvania
members of the House have received an anon
ymous dispatch from Philadelphia, saying ::
''There in this city over 100, 600 of us idle,
starving worliingmen who desire work. If
congress fails to give more literally for public
improvements here, there will be riots greater
than ever known. We must have bread"
The remedy is not to be found in
public improvements, which give but
temporarily toa few but to a judicious
increase of the currency which will
of itself restore public confidence and
revive business.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2l.-The

plurality than anticipated--probably
near four thousand. The non-parti-

will elect delegates at large except
two which are both OH the non-parti-
san and republican or democratic
tickets. 1t is probable the conven-

A Mississippi paper explains the landess
condition of many of the people of that State,
on the ground that, while land costs but 10
cents an acre, whisky is but Is cents glass,
and most people prefer to fork over the other
five cents and take the whisky.
And one great argument in favor
of the whisky is that as soon as you
swallow it it escapes taxation, while
the land in this great American re-
public is taxed to death.
