EGO1XSTICAL FOOLS" ETAETIyf,
NEWSPAPERS.

& An Iowa paper thus speaks of the
eg0tiStlcal foOls'' who start news
papers and think they can run out old
established journals:
s. In almost every county seat in Iowa
there may be found Il half dozen or
more newspaper wrecks. Inexperienced
men are seized with Il desire to 90 into
the business, and instead Of buying out
some established paper they start ND a
new one, having the egotism to think
That they can run out IN old established
journal. The results have been failures
IN almost every instance, and the worst
pf it is, that the egotistic fool is not the
loser. He is generally an adventurer
glthout means. who has failed in every
Ene OF business. The public pay the
u1ll; worthy newspapers are discredited
by such examples, and the locality
6ltters because its patronage has been
go divided that u vigorous and success
f0l newspaper enterprise is out Of the
question.
Every word of this fits the newspaper
business in Worthington. 1t is in
eveSy W6fo, t6thma, jot and title, *:
actly and literally true of the efforts
which have been made here by ''inex-
perienced" aud "egotistica! fools" to
run out the ADVANCE. The present
"egotistical fool" is the most conceited
ass in the lot. Bell, Lindsay and Ogle
were men Of some character and bralns
but here is Dude without experience
without character, without brains
without a cent in the world, a mer'
upstart adventurer, who rents the ole
Journa! material of Peter Thompson
and is undertaking the job of killing
the ADVANCE by blackguardism.
So it goes. Fool after fool gnaws tht
ADVANCE file, fool after fool sticks Iii
fingers into the ADVANCE buzz saw
fool after fool puts his head under tn,
ADVANCE trip hammer, fool after foo
butts his few brains cut against tn
ADVANCE stone wall.

R1ILROAD'NEWS.
RAILROAD RACKET ALL 'ROUND.

AAAAAASO<AO NANAGsA ZAAA xOONDs
The ADVANCE last week announced
that G.. J. Ives and $. L. Dows, of the
B., G.. r. 4 n. road, were ut the Wor-
tllngton Hotel the night before, on
their way home from Luyerne. Pipe
stone and other points, where they had
been to arrange with the people for the
building Of the Lake Park or Spirit
Lake & Western branch. We also an.
nounced in the same issue that they
had been to Sibley and that the people
there had agreed to submit to vote Il
proposition to give the road bonus of
SEA, GOO.
Since our last issue, the Luverne and
Pipestone papers have come to hand,
boiling over with enthusiasm, informa-
ton and speculation rs to the proposed
road. Sifted down the facts are:
Meetings have been held ut Sibley,
Luverne and Pipestone. The Sibley
meeting agreed to submit a proposition
to the people to vote $4,000 bonds in
aid of the road. The Luverne meeting
agreed to submit a proposition to vote
$4,000, and Pipestone agrees to vote
$4,000 to $4,000. The Close Bros.
agree to give the company the right Of
way over all their lands.
The road is to be built in time to
move the next crop
There is little doubt that the aid
asked will be voted and it may be taken
as settled that Il branch Of the g., g..
Il. & n. will be built by way of Sibley,
probably through Luvelne and Pipe
stone. FlaHdreau is making an effort
to secure it and our wide wake Adrian,
in the. west end of this county, is
aroused and will make an effort to
secure it also.
The qlestlon then arises will the line
via of Sibley be the main line to Bis
marck. Mr.. Dows is reported as hav-
ing said in the Luverne meeting that
they expected to make this q through
line from st. Louis and Chicago to the
Northwest" lie is also reported as
having said the same in the Pipestone
meeting.
AS Il consequence of these move
ments, some OF our people, mostly
those who never do anything for the
town beyond croaking, are throwing
up the sponge, and ridicnling all past
talk about the Bismarck road.
Now, there is I; possibility that the
main line to Bismarck will wind around
by Sibley and Luverne, but railroads
seeking direct and short lines to the
northwest are not apt to go winding
over the country in order to strike Il
few country towns. Does il look rea-
sonable that the Great Rock Island,
which is backing these g., G. r. & N.
extensions, would turn aside 20 miles
cast OF Worthington, run straight west
20 TO 80 miles, then 4 little north of
west for 80 or 40 miles, and then turn
and run Is to 80 miles almost directly
north to Pipestone, in order to- get
main line to Bismarck?
No, gentlemen, we hold that the
original plans, matured five or six
years ago, will be carried out, viz: that
the main line and the short line of the
B., q. r. s. n. to Bismarck will be
through Worthington. The route by
Sibley is al after thought and has al
ways been spoken of by the officials of
the road as a branch or feeder. The
gap between here and Pipestohe will be
bridged over in due time and the short
or through line will he via of Worth

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

An account of the death of this re-
markable man appeared in our last
issue. The papers mention him as the
last of the great anti.slavery agitators,
but they forget that Beecher still lives,
who was as earnest and as great Tor
greater) than Phillips in denouncing
slavery. But Garrison, Sumner, Gree
ley, Gerritt Smith. Chase, Wade aud
Seward went years ago. Lincoln was
not one Of the original agitators, but
on his stalwart shoulders and on his
honest and manly heart, fell the burden
OF guiding the nation through the
storm which the others had raised.
Garrison, Phillips, Beecher, Greeley
and Sumner, and in the order named,
we're the five men who led in the agita-
ti0n and on whom fell the bitterest
curses of the pro slavery and dough-
face elements.
The Boston Herald says Of Phillips
early days that he was ''proscribed,
hated, avoided, insulted, hissed," and
the New York Tribune says, ''for half
his lifetime lie ewas Il social out
cast and political Islimaelite. This
was true also of Garrison, and 10 some
extent of Beecller, Greeley and Sumner.
But they were the white-souled men
who stood true always while the mob
hOOted and hisscd God and time make
all things even, and as Lowell says.
''the hooting mob return, to gather up
their ashes for history's golden urn.'
"Rght forever on the scanold,
Wrong forever on the throne.
Yet that scaffulu rules the future,
And behind the dim unknown,
Stands ou: God within the shadows
Keeping watch above his OWL"
