DEMAoooIsM ExEMPLIFIED.

Childs, of the Waseca Herald, has the
monopoly" nightmare on the brain
continually, and of course he hurls that
demagogic cry at Mr.. Merriam. It 10
the custom of that class of cranks to
abuse and malign every man who has .
competency and uses it to better hisown
condition and those about him. The
Herald even blames Mr.. Merriam for be-
ing born rich. Had he squandered his
money when Young man and grown
up a worthless member Of society Is
would have been all right-the Herald
would have blamed the saloon keepers
for it. But because Mr.. Merriam took
good care of his worldly goods and by
good business ability added to his wealth
he must necessarily bear the abuse and
malignity of such irreconcilables a.
Child, with his stock epithets such %
"monopolist," ''extortionist," etc. 1t
matters not that Mr.. Merriam's money
and business talents have been engaged
solely in enterprises which have built up
and developed this grand state, and az
forded many men opportunities TO bet
ter their interests. This is all Of no &C.
count in the eyes Of the cranks to
whom a rich man is q scarecrow. 1t
matters not that Mr.. Merriam in his leg
islative position and as President OF the
State Agricultural Society has recorded
himself as awake to the needs OF the
masses and in full accord with their best
interests. They do not take this into
consideration, nor do they stop to point
out in what particular Mr.. Merriam has
been "monopolist." 1t is against the
conditions which enable q man by indus
try, thrift and business ability to gain
comfortable competency that these fell
lows cry. Their particular sort OF mania
is quite old and not particularly HARM
less. It can only have effect where ig-
norance and misinformation reigns, and
thanks to the work of such men as VIM.
r. Merriam those places are very scarce
in the grand old state of Minnesota.
The harangues of the Herald will have
small effect with the well-informed
voters of Southern Minnesota.

Gov. HILL comes out in a begging APP
peal to New York voters to stand by
Cleveland even if they do repudiate
him. That is noble piece of martyr
dom to be sure. and it plainly shows the
strong tie between Cleveland, the pro-
fessional purist, and Hill, the proved
and open leader of corrupt and bad pol
itics. How many men who honestly OPP
pose Hill because of the friends he has
made, will stomach Cleveland who shows
himself to be afraid ofantagonizing Hill

unity condensed. Cleveland supports Hill

suppose that sensible New York,rs win

THE Waseca County Herald says o.
Hon. VIM. r. Merriam:
"He was born and bred monopolist
and corporation extortion is part and
parcel of his whole political life. He
looks upon the government as a goose
which any man has q right to pluck, and
considers the man who advocates the
rights of the masses as next of kin to ar
idiot"
Those of the masses who read this pro
duction of q disordered Imagination will
be sure the man who wrote it is some
thing of an idiot himself.

Mere About the Cowhiding In
Chureh-Incorpor

OLYMPIA, Nov. 20.-From present
indications IL would seem that the
people of Tumwater do not intend to
LET the Manville cowhising affair drop
by simply filming the offender SO. As
related by to-day's PosT-INTELLTGEN-
CER, the affair occurred in church on
Sunday evening, and early Monday
morning Mr.. Manville came to this
city. went direct to the police court,
plead guilty. and was fined SO before
anybody had time TO appear against
him. A number of citizens of Tum-
water held meeting at that place
yesterday afternoon, at which il was
unanimously resolved that the fine
imposed upon Manville was not
commensurate with his oifense and
that therefore criminal proceedings
should be instituted against him at
once. They accordingly elected
committee OF three persons to take the
matter in hand and deal with it as
they saw fit. The committee accord
ingly visited this city and retained an
| attorney TO conduct their side OF the
case, which will probably be instituted
/ in few days, VIM. Manyilie has
also engaged an attorney and the suit
