The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1879-11-20

known on any of our railroads is like
the meeting Of two cotton seeds in the
air compared to this awful impact of
the earth upon the comets tail. But
the atmosphere Of the earth acts as a
cushion so that we do not feel any shock
nor can any of the pieces of the tail
reach the earth. But for this, at least
500, 0O0, 600 pieces Of the comets tail
would rain upon the earth every day.
These little tail-pieces or fragments. ct
tail, in attempting to pass through our
atmosphere, take fire from friction and
burn, when they become visible. A.
few hundred millions of them burning
at once makes very beautiful. pyro-
technic display.
THE VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE,
EDITOR ADVANCE: ALLOW me,
through your paper, to congratulate the
men who have won this fight. Wehave
just won one of the erandest political
triumphs ever achieved in any county.
Most of the political Ring looks upon
it as the beast looks up to the starry
heavens with brute unconscious gaze"
They are full of gloom to part with Of
fee, forever, it may be, 1--WE hope so,)
yet accepting their destiny rs the boy
who leaves Ills Fathers house never to
return. And now they have nothing
to do but hatch up lies about Our cand-
idates and scatter them broadcast over
the county. But no,o, and here, bring
forward any responsible endorser of the
falsehoods we.lave denounced, any man
printe or peer, from highland or low
land, from far or near, and we will tell
him to his teeth Lord Angus, thou
hast lied" Again, I congratulate you
upon the victory you have won.
''Peace hath her victories us we'll as
war;"
And now my friends, allow me,
without further exultation to recur
to the lessons which this extraordina-
ry victory teaches us: First of all, l
reckon faith in God and the right an
other lesson OF this victory. Men of
Mobiles, it is not the duty merely but
the profitableness Of Il stern infexible
adherence to principle, turning a deaf
ear to the whispering, CHASTITY delusion
and snare OF policy, so-called and mis-
called, which, would bargain and cheat
and steal into office and power only to
raven like the wolf and drink tie spoil.
We have fought and won this fight up
on the straightest issues. We don't
have to claim two or three votes that
were never polled. We did 1t straiqht.
Finally, men OF Mobiles, as we have won
i great victory, what shall we do with
it? Upon this question depends not
merely whether the Peoples Party shall
60 forward to future and further tri-
umphs, but whether it shall live. fit
shall be true to principle, true 70 the
men who represent principle, full of
courage, hardening to no timid counsel,
yet securing harmony and good will in
its ranks, if firmly and with memorable
purpose, it shall do the the work APP
pointed for it. and with all this, shall
combine wisdom and honesty and mod
GRAFTON and justice in all its acts; above
all, it in every measure and utterance
outside the limits of party organization,
it shall consult the good of county and
not of party, or baser still, the men who
represent party, it will rule in this coun-
ty for Il hundred years to come. But, if

the corrupt it shall shrink from an :lb-
sol''te and courageous assertion of its
principles and enforcement of it's duties,
If it shall halt one jot or title in it's
support of the issues upon which 1t won
the fight, especially if forgetting it is
Peoples party, it has regard to the in
terest of capital rather than of labor, of
the rich than the poor. the few than
the many, and shall consider section,
or party, or self, rather than the coun-
ty and the whole county, in the day
that it shall eat of such fruit it shall
surely die and upon it's gravestone-fo
monument it shall have none-sl,all be

over her greatest son "you knew how
to conquer, but not how to use the VIC
