Hon. H. G. ST1vERs, would-be
speaker, boasts of his loyalty to
his colleagues and bis party in the
recent election. Bah! Stivers was
chairman Of the Democratic con-
gressional committee in the Fifth
district; he had $4,000 placed at his
disposal to conduct a campaign in
certain portions Of the district. In
Stivers' home county, Grow Wing,
Mr.. Whiteman received 1876 votes,
Mr.. Stivers S61, and E. E. Price.
the man that Stivers is tearing his
hair over now, had 1888! How is
that for loyalty? H. G. Stivers is
the biggest political traitor and
fraud in Minnesota. 49,.

The new mayor was not at all back
ward about explaining his views on
gambling. In an hour from the time
he was elected, he had every gambling
house in the city closed as tight as an
oyster.-Broinerd Dispatch
The old reform mayor, Hon. H.
c. Stivers, could not go back on
his pals. They stood manfully by
him in the recent election, besides
they had the cinch on him and he
dare not enforce the law: Yes,
indeed, Mr.. Stivers would make an
excellent presiding officer in the
legislature.

Blood Will Tell.

A farmer drove a span of fair,
ordinary colts, we'll broken, into
the county seat of one of the cen
trail counties of the State and spent
two days in hunting for buyer at
$3.50 for the span. The dams of
these colts were fairly good mares,
just as good as those OLA neighbor
who sold span of the same age a
few days before at $500 to a buyer
who came after them with the cash
jingling in his pocket, The last
named farmer had paid $50 service
for an extra good pure-bred Perch
eron, and the former had used an
inferior grade, because the fee was
only 81. The difference in price
was $12O. Which farmer dis
played the best business iudg-
ment?-En.
Same truth applies when a
farmer wants to raise a cow,-the
progeny of a scrub bull, will make,
perhaps, $50 pounds per annum,
and one from a first class dairy
sire, one that will produce from
$50 to 800 pounds per annum. Is
not even 100 pounds Of butter, in
crease in production, worth look
ing after, when the business in
hand is to raise a cow2-Romds

candidate for speaker, please write
letter from Foreston or else

N. w. WHEATLEY, on being elected
mayor by the village council last Mon
day evening, made a brief address to
the council, thanking it's members for
the honor conferred upon him, and say
ing that there was too much gambling
going on in the city and that he would
have it stopped. If the present chief
of police could not stop it he would APP
point one that could. When the coun-
Gil, adjourned he instructed the chief of
police to close all gambling rooms in
the city, and the chief and other officers
did so Immediately. In fifteen minutes
from the time the council adjourned all
the places where games for money had
been in progress were deserted. Brain

Self-confession is good for the
soul. Hon. H. G. Stivers, candid
ate for speaker, points with pride
to his record as mayor Of Brainerd,
the only public office he ever held,
although he has been a chronic
candidate for everything in sight
for a dozen years past. Mayor
Wheatley did in fifteen minutes
what Stivers did not dare do dur
ing his administration of seven
months-closed the gambling dens.
Why did not Mayor Stivers en-
force the ordinance against gam
bling? Because he dare not.

as he claims to be, was c. F. Kin

slightest idea that Mr.. Price ever
wrote the letter-yes, he may have
written but never indited it. Any
how, the letter is a tissue of false
hoods. Instead Of Dunn advising
or requesting Nh. Price to with
draw, it was quite the reverse.
There are scores of people in For
eston who know that Mr.. Price
threatened to withdraw and we adj
vised him to stay in. Why, he
not only announced his intention of
withdrawing but was actually a
candidate for register of deeds of
Mile Laos county, but his friends
talked him out of the notion. We
repeatedly told him his candidacy
would not cost us q vote in Mile
Laos county, and the result proved
that our surmises were correct.
We believe Mr.. Price is a truthful
young man, and for that reason we
do not think he ever indited the
letter in question. AS before re-
Marked, numerous residents of
Foreston can vouch for the truth
of our statements. 1t is impossible
for H. G.. Stivers to tell the truth.

Horace Greeley once said: "a
mans first concern is for himself:
next for his near neighbour" At
another time he said that ''every
man in the country should have
his name in the local papers at
least once each year." Gle didn't
mean, however, that it should ap-
pear only in the delinquent-tax
list.) From these maxims he
argued that the country editor
should give his best thoughts and
most persistent labor to the chron-
icing of events near home, even to
the exclusion, if need be, of mat
tiers relating to people and things
in foreign countries. He advised
that the local paper should record
every birth, marriage and death
occurring in the county, as well as
every other event affecting the
welfare of OF interesting the home
community. Such items would
certainly be more interesting to
the readers of the paper than news,
concerning people and things they
knew nothing of and cared nothing
for.
But the newspaper should aim
to be near the people, not only in
its editorial and news departments,
but in its advertising as well. A
larger number of its readers are in
terested in what their neighbors
have to sell than are those who
read patent-medicine ads. and

ing at least a business card from

that you are serving the interests

in which the journal is held at

pay full rates. Encourage the
