person, in order TO- procure the SER
vices Of a surgeon to attend wounds
that had been inflicted by Napoleon's
father, Frank Bastien:: Mr. Bastien
lives about ten miles east of Little

last he became enraged at the boy for
some trivial offense, and pounded him
numerically on the head with =
piece of log chain, indicting painful
and dangerous wounds. Afterpartial>

blows, the boy started for Little Falls,

The Glorious Fourth.

The committees are at work to make
the celebration on the Fourth of July
in this village grand success. John
B. Brisbip, Esq.,, of St. Paul, has been
engaged to deliver the oration it is
expected to have band Of music from
Minneapolis and it has been decided
to have good, old fashioned, basket
picnic. At first it was intended to
have no picnic, but as nothing else will
create more genuine enthusiasm, the
picnic will be one Of the prominent
features. Grounds will be prepared
in the grove on the north side of the
village. A good flag has been bought
for the occasion. A large company of
rag mullins will have parade early in
the day, and their handsome faces and
fanltl@s uniform will excite the ad.
miration ofal who see them. The
races have not yet been provided for,
but such matters will be attended to
between now and the Fourth. The
officers who have general supervision
of the arrangements are R. II. Paine,
president; L. G. Worthiugton, secre>
tary; Leon Houde, treasurer. Hon.
J. Simmons is rendering valuable and
indispensable aid toward making the
celebration success. Everybody is
invited to attend and have a good
time. In the evening L. Vasaly will
give a grand ball at his hotel.

A Chance for Argument.

Some Of our good citizens take the
trouble to inform strangers who visit
Little Falls that the editor of the
Transcript is Republican at heart,
but runs a Democratic paper because
Morrison county happens to have a
Democratic majority. Now any well
informed person, who has read our ed
itorials, knows that we have set forth
good and sufficient reasons for believ~
ing in tho principles that we advocate
and We are ready to meet any we'll in
70 rmed Republican, from Jim Blaine
down, in public discussion of the cur
rent political issues. We give the
reasons for the faith that is in US
and if any Republican wants to under.
take the job of showing that We are in
error, our columns are open for that
purpose. But we venture the predic>
ton that no Republican will under~
take it. The other day We PROFOUND.
ed few questions to Republican,
and be said "Well, I haven't studied
these questions;I guess our party
leaders understand them and are ca
pable Of managing all these matters
But what kind of a position are you
in if your party leaders are controlled
by class interests detrimental to the
public good. Your party leaders dare
not enter into square and honest dis
cussion Of the national finances they
declare that the financial question is a
dead issue, that it ought not be dis
cussed in Congress, that measures for
relief ought to be deferred until next
winter or some other future time, that
the proper questions for discussion are
the old war issues. They are in
favor Of anything that will prevent
OF defer the exposure Of the black and
infamous frauds that they have prac>
ticed on the people of this country,
We have shown In these columns how
these corrupt practices were carried to
a successful issue, we have exploded
the sophistry of the ringsters, and
shall continue to do SO in print, on the
platform, aud on every proper occasion,
as long as the evils of Republican mis-
management and corruption exist.
Call this egotlsm or what you please,
we mean what we say, and are pre-
pared to defend our honest convictions
against all comers.

will probably be employed for that de-
