THE MUGwUMP.

Conklin's Dakotaian says the fol-
lowing about mugwumps, and it hits
some of our wouldbe bosses squarely:
The mugwump is perfectionist;
he can make no mistakes; his way
is right; all others are wrong; he
knows too much for one man and
not enough for two; he is little too
good for earth but not quite ready
for heaven; he would have taken
eight days instead of seven to make
the world, and would have killed
Cain on sight, instead of permitting
him to run at large; his motto is
whole loaf or no bread.
You will find him in the church,
in all fraternal associations, in all
political parties, and in the Farmers
Alliance. He looks upon every man
in public places as a rascal; all have
mercenary motives only; public
officers are rascals; the men at the
head of the Farmers Alliance and
the alliance business department,
and the alliance Hail and Fire and
Life Insurance department are all
seeking their own profit and nothing
else; they are all rascals; he is
haunted by rascals. 'SRascals to
the right Of him, rascals to the left
of him, rascals in front Of him." He
only is honest; he only can be trust
ed, and unless his advice is followed
everything will go to the devil.
Write it down he who will trust
no one is not to be trusted; he who
believes all men to be rascals, is HIM
self rascal; he who believes no man
is honest; is himself dishonest; he
who says every man has his price is
himself for sale; he who is discrimi-
nately denouncing politicians, is in
training for politician and is seeking
Office for himself; he seeks to build
up confidence in himself by destroy
ing the confidence of people in
others; he is trying to build for him
self with what he tears from other
peoples houses, and has only an
untenable shanty when it is finished.
The Mugwump is fraud of the
first water; hypocritein in the church,
disorganizer in society, and a pole
cat in politics.
Farmers watch out for this Great
ure have thus briefly described.
He can be found in greater or
smaller capacity in every precinct,
township village, county or city;
measure him for what he really is.
