Tombstone epitaph., 1890-02-01

FOR several months the Democrats and Democratic journals kept asking Governor Wolhey's appointees why they didn't go into court and get de- cision as to their right to hold the various offices to which they were ap- pointed. Well, one man, J. Y. T. Smith did get his particular opponent into court, and MT Foster was so com pletely and promptly knocked out on the first round, by Democratic judge, that it has been impossible ever since to get any of the festive unwashed into court. When MT. Churchill and MT. Alexander went before Judge Kibbey and demanded recognition as Attorney General of the Territory It was arranged that no matter which one was recognized, that an agreed case should be submitted to the Su- preme Court. But when the court recognized MT. Churchill, MT. Alex ander backed out of the agreement, thereby showing the insincerity oi the Democratic holders, and that 1t was their intention to hold onto the offices at all hazards, not caring how much the interests of the Territory suffered by continuation of the present un- settled condition of affairs. However, when Mr. Cheyney brought his man. damus suit, and it was immediately carried to the Supreme Court, another phase was put on the matter, and MT. Alexander came to the conclusion that he had better get in too, as de- cision in MT. Cheyney's case would settle the matter. So, by force of cir cumstances, not through any spirit of fairness, the Democrats have been forced into court, and from the dismal lucribrations being constantly emitted by the chief mouthpiece of the Zulick Democracy, the Phenix Gazette, 1t IS evident they have about given up all hope. To further show the insincerity of these people, their organ, after pro- fessing for many months strong de- sire to get the matter into court, now pleads the baby act, and says that the judges have no right to sit in judg- ment because somewhere in the ap- propriation act is provision for the payment of their salaries. Such a plea will not have any weight with sensible people. It would be ridic- ulous and mischievous principle to lay down that court had no right to pass on the validity of laws passed by the legislature because in one of the laws, as matter of necessity and routine, a provision is made to meet the expenses of that court. Such an idea IS not to be tolerated, for such course Of ac- tion would result in perpetuation Of the present lamentable state of affairs, which is becoming intolerable.

Perhaps the readers of the EPITAPH would like to know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you When this Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteraCt the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity if not effectually cure the cold in two days time, and it IS the only remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, lique- flying the mucus and causing its expul- sion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to strong and healthy condition. No other remedy in the market possesses these remarkable properties No other will cure a cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound condition 50 cent and one dollar bottles for sale by H. ].

DURING the session of the last legis- lature Governor Zulick caused the in- formation to be conveyed to the Council that if they would confirm two men whom he desired to appoint they might name all the other Terri torial officers. These two men were Geo. H. Stevens and Thomas Parish. But the Council declined to enter into any such arrangement. Governor Zulick evidently knew what he was about when he desired to re-appoint Stevens. He wanted to give that worthy a chance to swim out. It does not look very well for Governor to attempt to shield thief

ACCORDING to the Tucson Star the following interview took place in Washington recently: It is said that when Judge c. w. Wright tackled Senator Teller in regard to Judge Sloan Teller answered: "It's no use, Wright Sloan's record is one of the best that has ever come before the committee, both as regards integrity and ability" "Yes, yes," said Wright, "that is SO; but then his health; why, Senator, Sloan has one foot in the grave and the other trembling on the brink" "Well, then," interrupted Teller, perhaps the other foot is now in, or may be soon. We will just con- firm him and give him a good send-off for the next world, and then you" "Great Scottw broke in Wright, if you confirm him he will never die. Who ever heard of a Republican in office letting go long enough to die? No, sir; Senator, don't you chance that" "But the committee, Democrats and all. appear to be favorably impressed with the special fitness of MT. Sloan, and I guess, Wright, he will have to go through This sickly racket is too thin, or rather too sickly; it won't work" said Teller; and the Arizona statesman fell into very deep medi- fot

The following resolutions were sent
to us to publish, and we do so-but
with regret. The farmers of Waco

able class Of people. They are mostly
German, and have been accustomed
to the use of beer all their lives, and
can scarcely realize the extent of the
wonderful growth of temperance
views. But such principles are grow

will yet insist that a great many

use of liquor to remove from society,
from politics, and from the home, a
terrible evil. Whatever may be our

No, no, men! If we be brave men

We have an official letter from the
Secretary of Alliance No. 634, Knute
Rollag, OF Gossen, Polk Co., asking
us if we cannot publish the GREAT
WEST in Norwegian? Nothing
would give us more pleasure if it
were possible. But it takes a capital
OF $4,000 to run the English edi-
ton and it would take fully as much
to put it in another language.
Every compositor, all the type, the
Editor to manage the manuscript,
translate, etc., and the proof read
.ers, all would be required. The
monthly expense account of the
GREAT WEST runs up to from $500
to $3.50 a month. 1t would be i'm
POSSIBLE to put another venture in
the field without the capital, and
that we have not at command. It
is wholly question of finances.
Then there is another difficulty. A
man writes us that if we would pub
ish in French their alliance would
agree to furnish 200 subscribers as a
starter, and the Swedish and Ger
man people have long urged us to
publish for them.

Jan. the school savings bank system
went into operation at Norristown, Pa.
Before the close of March the deposits
had amounted to nearly $4,000, though
they fell off somewhat with the ap-
proach of kite flying and skipping rope
season. There were 800 depositors. The
bank that took the childrens money
agreed to pay 8 per cent. interest, but it
is doubtful if it could make the business
profitable at that rate, owing to the ex-
pense of handling SO many small sums
of money.

The Red Wing Advance-Sun clips a
clipper on "us," from the Fairmont
News, one which is radiant with our
pet names for a lot of men who

He writes for his own readers, and it
is observable that all the men who
argue to that crowd, whether by
voice Or in print, begin the refutation
sof their opponents by calling them
abusive names. There are men who
think the rankest, most offensive
abuse in the strongest, finest argu-
ment. Bro. Fish may think his read
ers OF that sort.
Certainly we "refute'' by calling
names! That is what there is to re-
flute. We have published more finan-
cial facts, and documentary evidence
on commercial matters in six
months, and at a greater expense,
than all the papers OF the state put
together have brought out in years
And instead of awakening to the
gravity of the situation lot of
''eveners" get up their guns and
shoot smut at us. And as we are
not proud at all we send it back with
usury.

the result, Do you s'pose' that the
plutocrats object to being mildly
called "millionaires?" Oh no-it's
nice. But when you call them q
brazen lot of thieves who have made
dishonest millions by sharp prac.
tices, they squirm and spout and

1AOCA ACN GAICA pAACC.
Hon. Henry Plowman, one OF the
most intelligent and best known far
mers in Otter Tail county, estimates
in the Fergus Falls Journal of last
week that there has been about 700
mortgage foreclosures in that county
the past year. He also argues that
at that rate of foreclosure the county
will be owned by the money loaners-
in six or seven years. This is hard
on the heavily bnrdened farmers Of
that section of the state and this
startling number of foreclosure sales
is conclusive proof that farming does
not pay, even though money loaners,
spectators and others contend and
try to make believe that farmers
have an easy and profitable business.

Henry George is again preaching single
tax and change of land tenure in Austria
liza, whittier he went at the close of win

ard, of his voyage, he shows a poetic
vein of thought that would not have
been expected in him. He says of his
passage across the Pacific:
Very pleasant seem the tropic seas. This is the
seventh time have crossed the line, but the six
times before were in my youth, and in the inter-
vening years the recollection Of what seemed to
me then like the climate Of Eden has fingered in
my memory, and have often wished again to
feel the fresh warm breeze over the blue sea and
watch the flying fish dart and skim. The reality
equals the recollection.

Mr.. Stanford submitted the follow
lowing resolution and remarks:
Whereas, There is a stringency in
money and much consequent distress

tressed, large portions Of the farming
communities heavily burdened and
struggling for relief; and
WHEREAS, The United States gov
eminent is alone authorized to make
money which shall be legal tender,
whether it be by stamp upon paper,
silver or gold; and
WHEREAS, The value of these COM
modities when used as money. de-
ponds entirely upon the stamp OF the
government making it legal tender;
and
WHEREAS, 1t has been found that
the money advanced by the govern
ment upon it's own bonds to the
holders thereof has furnished the
best and most acceptable currency,
through which today in our country
most of the exchanges are made :;
and -
WHEREAS, The present stringency
is largely due to the retirement Of
government bonds which have been
SO largely the basis OF our circulate
ing medium; and
WHEREAS, 1t is of great conse-
quence to national and Individual in
terests that credit should be es-
tablished where merited, as far as it
is safe and practicable; and
WHEREAS, The government can
do this abundantly without risk to
itself. upon much of the property OF
the country, as it is now doing upon
it's own bonds on which it is paving
interest; and
WHEREAS, Loans upon property
basis would furnish all the money
needed, without cost to the govern,
ment, and fair interest paid by the
borrower would give to the govern
ment for the use of it's bills q large
income; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the committee on
finance be instructed to inquire what
relief may be furnished by the United
States government, and particularly
whether loans may not be made by
the government upon mortgages de-
posted with it upon real estate, in
dependent of improvements. at such
rate and to such an amount only as
will make the security to the govern
ment perfect, the government to re-
ceive some small rate of interest,
from l to 2 per cent, ample compen-
sation for the use of it's credit, and
to prevent the undue application for
loans beyond the needs of the coun-
try. And the government, as further
restraint and provision against an
over-issue (if such thing be posi-
BILE upon perfect security, where the
interest is very slightly, shall provide
to call in a percentage OF the loans,
from time to time, upon reasonable
notice, as it may deem necessary, at
it's own discretion, for the welfare of
the nation.

Farming in Anoka County.

Demagogue politicians and would

ing to make it appear that the
farmer is the most abused person in
the world. Observation for num-
Der OF years convinces the writer
that, as a whole, the farmers of
Anoka county are the most prosper
GUS of any class OF. any business
men. While but few have got rich,
the proportion is as great as in any
other business, and a large percent
age are in comfortable circum-
stances Anoka Herald.
Nowwe happen to know something
about how the agricultural interests
OF Anoka county have advanced. In
1872 we had an opportunity to buy
certain property in the village of
Anoka, but instead of doing so we
bought a piece of land six miles
north of that place. We owned the
land and paid taxes ON it for twelve
years, and then sold it for just three
fourths of what we originally paid
for it. Meantime the village lots
which we declined to buy in 1872
had advanced in value at least a
thousand per cent. Oh, yes; the
Anoka county farmers have a big
advantage over those town fellows
