Put Out Every Man of Them.

Every one of them! Yes sir, every
one. Not man should remain. 1t
lacks ten years now of the Twentieth
century. In ten years every living
man and every dead man now in the
United States congress should be re-
moved, and laboring man put in
his place. If the farmers and labor
ers from this time on permit a rich
man to go to congress they not only
deserve punishment but Will get what
they deserve.

The following is taken from New

scratched a Iona man whose
strength has always been an un.

ever before dared to square himself
with the Sage by direct insult. That
they should have chosen the Presi.

is great misfortune-a very great
misfortune. It is regarded by us, as
it will be by all Others, as matter Of
the most profound regret. But it
has come-a reality-a stern fact

That's Right!

Since the GREAT WEST has jumped
into the wheat pit the country mar
kets have jumped up from three to
ten cents closer to the terminal quo
tations. Our only regret is that a
lot of scrub-editors who have been
trying to down us, will get the bene-

To the Editor who swore by the
name Of his Creator that any
Man who wanted to ship
wheat and had the
money to do it
with, could
do so .
and
"All He'll couldn't stop him!"

Since our remarks on the fact that
there was no free market for any one
to sell his own wheaton for any one
to ship wheat to Liverpool, we have
received some facts which can only
be partially given at present. More
will come hereafter.
Last year a man living in Fargo
undertook to ship his own wheat to
Liverpool-and he did. He sent his
wheat and was on hand to receive it
at it's destination-but 10 ! fortunate
~ he had taken samples Of the wheat
with him, and when it was delivered
it was not the same wheat!
He returned and shipped some
more, determined to locate the fraud
somewhere. He followed the cars to
Chicago-where they suddenly disap-
peared! And finally he found them
but where? Switched off to an ele-
vator to be mixed!
Think of this-think of the double
dyed scoundrels who kept their eagle
eyes on that grain-and then deliber-
ately kept our Minnesota hard wheat
from reaching it's market by switch
ing another mans property off to
an elevator-to reduce it's value
And at the same time this elevator
of course stole at least one-third of
the No. l hard, putting in a lower
grade! Talk about a free market
free rascals and free thieves-but no
free market.

Dakota held her annual meeting
this week-but not in time for this is
sue to report. We are not afraid of
Dakota. Her grand alliance was or
gained before the party had got
in it's work. In this state it is a
greater struggle to get the paid
agents of St. Paul politicians out OF
the alliance than to organize it ten
times over. Dakota is feeling the
sting of the. political cancer more
now than ever before. God be with
her.

An Important Question,

CLITHERALL, Mimi, May 81, 1890.
ED. GREAT WEST:
-Four of the Farmers Elevators on
this branch of the N. P. R. R. held a
meeting at Clitherall last Saturday,
May Oath, and organized for the
purpose of Investigating hequestion
OF how to market our wheat to the
best advantage, and a committee
was appointed to correspond with
parties at Minneapolis and Duluth
to ascertain if possible which would
be the best plan. to Join the dakota
Alliance" or employ our own COM
mission man to attend to the selling
Of our grain, or, if it would not be
still better for us to build and own
an elevator at either of these points
through which to handle our grain.
II we have an average crop this year,
our organization will control about
100000 bushels of wheat, and as a
member Of this committee l write
you for the desired information,
knowing full we'll that you are in
position to throw as much or more
light upon the subject as any one.
Please answer in the GREAT WEST
this week, if possible, as we have an
other meeting on Saturday, June Z,
and would like to have your answer
to present to our meeting at that
time. p. N. LUNDoUIsr.
In it's relations to the future, the
above is the most important ques-
ton we have been called upon to an
swer. in our present field of work.
This is the movement which we have
so long urged-and in explaining the
future greatness of which many
columns of the "Central Minneso-
tian" were used. The tremendous
power of combination, as wide
spread company, is beyond descrip-
ton, and therefore any undertaking
OF that character requires great care.
1t is far better to build up one strong
company than to foster two-provi-
ding it is an open stock organiza-
ton, and it is with the most pro-
found concern that we advise these
people to go into the Alliance Eleva-
tor Company. This company is al
ready operating in the line of Euro
pean shipment. It has sent it's
officers to England to investigate.
1t has right to take two million
dollars OF capital, and now has sew
eral elevators in this state and
Dakota-and is thoroughly posted
on the ability and methods required
to build terminal storehouses. We
rejoice at this move, and trust that
they will move forward. Our advice
is given not without experience, and
with much anxiety. We have not
referred the matter to President
Loucks, but advise our friends to
correspond with him, and probably
he will visit you.

Messrs. Gilbert and Son were inno-

The fact is, the great dealers are

and Messrs. Gilbert admitted that
they did no elevator business.

Last fall, when the farmers were
bringing in their wheat, there was
an 8 and 1Oc. difference between
No. hard and No. 1 ,northern-at

Bro. Sheets advises us to use less
severe terms than ''liar," ''thief."
ETC., and intimates that our moral
meter must measure up a large
amount OF natural depravity.
Well, Mr.. Todd Co. Argus, your adj
vice is well meant and timely. Since
Gee-W, began the use of adjectives
this state has taken on some lustv
energies-and it is time to call halt
or all those liars and thieves will get
broken-heads if the thing is kept up.
Still, lest we lose even the hopeful in
terest OF Mr.. S. and his bright sheet
we will say that the GREAT WEST
never utters an oath or drinks
whisky, and still maintains his good
old orthodox faith in hell and q
narrow path which does not lead
there:
That Christ tasted the bitterness
OF Calvary-and that it was accom-
panied with an earthquake which
stirred up even the dead-and that
his doctrines brought not peace, but
strlfe-"Ye hypocrites and phari-
Sees"
SO let us bear with the G. W. for a
season, while it tells the truth.
A lady was telling US the other day
that her daughter was in school. and
in about a month would be prepared
for teaching-and a son was in a
commercial school. "But," we urged.
1.-THE expenses must be heavy to keep
two at SCHOOL,"
"Yes," replied the lady, ''but l re-
ceived $4,000 from the Insurance
Co., and have not used it all, after
paying $500 on this house. The
children have agreed to pay it all
back to mother with interest-and
l know they will"
This was an instance which was
just what we wanted. The woman
had no relatives to support her and
her children, and without that insur-
ance the children would have boon
ignorant and perhaps worse-and
she dependent. In two years her la
Dor and that 50, 900 had given them
the promise OF a bright future. And
they thought OF it, as they planted
the sweet love-fowers on the dead
fathers grave.

Read Aloud.

Among the improvement clubs for the
winter, let us hope the reading aloud
class has its place. If one has husky
voice or a feeble one, if he forms his
words away back in his throat instead
of on the tip of his tongue, if one is
careless and slovenly in his pronuncia-
ton, if one is awkward and bashful and
afraid to open his mouth before folk,
nothing will correct all these defects so
like a charm as reading aloud. Read
deliberately. distinctly, opening your
mouth sufficiently to let the sounds out
clearly.
Always have critic in your class, or
let all the class criticise the reader. Note
carefully, but with the utmost good ma
ture always, the mispronunciations, the
thick and smothered enunciation, and
that frightful nasal twang for which
Americans are so justly held up to ridi-
cule in Europe Listen to the converse
ton Of those around you, listen even to
your own voice, and nine times out Of
ten you will find the horrid nasal twang
IS there, though you have never no
ticed it.
Everybody, perhaps, cannot learn to
sing, but everybody can ca 0

We have not single one in the United
States. France has her ribbon and
cross of the Legion of Honor for both
men and women who have greatly dis
tinguished themselves, and a French
man would risk his life joyfully for q
chance of this coveted prize. It has
filled with new light the glazing eyes of
many dying man. Great Britain has
q number of orders of merit; SO has Ger
many; so have most other civilized ma
TONS
The United States has nothing, abso-
lutely nothing, beyond a sort of honora-
bile mention for private soldiers who
have distinguished themselves. Con-
gress can give vote of thanks to one
who has done service to his country,
or it can bestow a sum of money on his
widow and children. But ribbon, a
star, cross, something that would be a
lasting symbol of the country's apprecia-
ton of service Loyalty done, we have
not for anybody.
Congress ought to supply this want,
for it is want. There is nothing snob-
Dish, nothing that savors of aristocracy
and cffete despotisms in the idea. The
United States ought to have a govern
ment order of merit of some kind to be
bestowed for distinguished services in
science, in art, philanthropy, or war.
The pn..-..or such order would be pre-
s.yyav ..1 noble pride among the de-
slanoants CT those who Aal woa it. It
woula Dein al time an incentive to great
deeds.

Cor money paid to militia since April,
1882; for bridging the Missouri river
within one mile of the mouth of the
Kansas river; appropriating $50, 900 for

Toys That Last.

The doll is thousands of years old; it
has been found inside the graves of little
Roman children, and will be found again
by the psychologists of a future date
among the remains of our own culture.
The children of Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum trundled hoops just as you and
I did; and who knows whether the rock
ing horse on which we rode in our young
days is not a lineal descendant of that
proud charger into whose wooden TANKS
the children of Francis rs time dug their
spurs.
The drum is also indestructible, and
setting time at naught across the centu-
ries, it beats the Christmastide and New
Year summons that bids the tin soldier
prepare himself for war, and shall con-
tinue to beat as long as there exist boy
arms to WELD the drumsticks, and
grown up peoples ears to be deafened
blythe sound thereof. The tin soldier
views the future with calm; he will not
lay down his arms until the day of gen.
eral disarmament, and there is, as yet,
no prospect of universal peace.
The toy sword also stands its ground;
it is the nursery symbol of the inerad-
icable vice of our race-the lust for bat
tie. Harlequins, fool's-cap-crowned and
bell-ringing, are also likely to endure;
they are sure to be found among the
members of the toy world as long as
there are fools to be found among the
inhabitants Of our own. Gold laced
knights, their swords at-taeil aides, curly
locked and satia slaod pri9easse5, stall
