EGGING 4 LIBERAL.
A friend writes us us follows

Did you notice in the Pipestone Star
that Mr.. T.. G. Walker, Secretary Of the
Iowa State Liberal League, had been
mobbed by the holy ones at that place
while delivering Il lecture? Some of
the Liberals of that vicinity invited him
to 90 there and deliver i few discourses, :,
and lie complied delivering them, i'll
which he showed the utmost fairness,
rs | am informe |, treating the opinions
of I'LL others with proper respect, and
conducting himself us becomes 4 gen.
tlpman in I'LL ways. But the ''uncO
guide" of the vicinity concluded that,
being one of those horrid intidels, he
must be naltreated in good old-fasl'ion-
ed style, and one, (whose garments had
been washed in the blood Of the PaSchal.
us le;,rn,) furnished the patriarchal
germs necessary to Il finished mob scene
to wit the required rotten eggs, and
they were duly distributed to a number
Of the faithful. and some were projected
ut Mr. Walker. while lie was speaking,
and othe,s were thrown at some OF the
leading Liberals, while they were on the
way home from the meeting. The
orthodox hcodums followed these
parties about half Il mile, hurting eggs
1T them, and were only induced to deSiSt
Ivy the fact that the asSailed, seeing
the New Testament theory Of non-re-
sistance would not work, began to arm
themselves with stones and threaten
self defense. They did not hit Mr..
Walker ut any time, but scattered eggs
. OH some Of the audience.
We would not like to hear of any
body being killed, but we wish these
Liberals had been armed and had scat
tered bullets among the church blood
hounds as thick rs eggs were scattered
among themselves, say one bullet for
every egg. If there is anything the
ignorant and brutal church bisot res
poets it is a bullet or a club.
Now the Liberals at Pipestone will
he false to themselves and tol ib erty to
thought and speech, if they allow these
disciples ofAnthony Comstock to 60 un-
punished. They want to follow it up and
have the church brutes and bigots ar
rested and punished. Bro. Hart will not
do his duty until he publis' es the names
of these orthodox miScrcantS and holds
them up to the scorn and contempt of
all decent people. Just think Of the
bloody and complacently-ignorant
churches, ringing their bells in cur ears
every day, begging and dragooning ev-
crybody for money to support their
cause, proclaiming the L views on every
street corner, and then denying to those
of other views the right to hear an oc-
casional lecture unmolested. If we
lived in Pipestone county we would
contribute $500, if necessary, toward
exposing and Furnishing these Comstock
pole-cats and orthodox blood hounds.

It is unfortunate for Rock county

stranger passing over the road will
Judge Of the country adjacent by what
he Sees from the car windows, and it is
certainly not Il matter of wonder that
]lis opinion Of this region is not the
most favorable. 1t is very desirable to
lave it understood that the opinion
thus formed is egregiously incorrect.
The difference existing between the
country described and that from
Adrian west is rs great as the differ
eMce between night and dday.-Luverne
Herald.
We want you. Bro. Miller, to take
that back, as far as regards this vi
cinity. We were pleased with the
country around Luverne, but it is not
whit better than that which sur
rounds Madelia.-Madela Times.
Bro Miller is to be excused. Ho vas
getting home after long absence at
Minneapolis, and as he approached
Luverne his spirits rose and he renew.
ell his admiration of his old home.
"A man will see q hundred charms in
his own Wife, no matter how homely
she may be. while lie will see nothing
to admire in his nelghbor's wife though
she may be a famous beauty. Thus it
WAS with brother Miller. Worthington
and vicinity is famous for it's beauty
of crystal lakes aud high rolling prairie
while Luverue and vicinity is i rather
homely country lassie. But Luverne
is ''hisn" and Worthington is "ourn. -
That is what makes the difference.
