The Height of EHrontcry Reached by
Yenai Republican Minions.
This Is no rumor, mind you, says
the Administration organ in this city.
speaking of certain allegations of fraud
in the Florida election. ''It is a state
ment of fact sent By tie offcialt of the
FEcrida court TO United States Attorney
General Miller"
The childlike assumption that this
fact takes the report out of the domain
of rumor and gives it the weight of
truth is almost too beatific for this sub
lunary sphere. In order to apprehend
its full force and beauty one ought to
read 1T in the light of recent proceed
ings illustrative of the noble trust
worUhiness of Republican court officials
in this same State of Florida.
In the Northern district of Florida
one Charles Swayne is the United States
Judge, holding Office by virtue of APP
pointment from President Harrison.
The marshal of the district is John Il.
Mizell, also 4 Republican. The latter
has very naturally turned his attention
with considerable zeal-having been
appointed with that underStanding-to
the ferreting out of alleged Democratic
frauds on the hallot-box. In starting
out on his quest he was struck with the
desirability of packing the jury-box
with Republicans, SO that his prosecu-
tions might not fail through any such
accident as the lack of evidence. To Sc
cure this result he wrote the following
letter to one of his tools:
c. C. KIRK, Esq. De Land, Fla.-Sir: You
will at once confer with Mr.. Bie!by and make
out list of fifty sixty names of true and
tried Republicans from your county registration
list for jurors in the United States court, and
forward same to Hon. p. Walter clerk United
at once. you can see. Please acknowledge
this 1 am, yours truly,
JOHN r. MIzEII,
United States Marshal.
Please get the names of parties as near
steamboat and railroad stations possible.
This precious bit of Republican ras-
cality was offered in evidence on the
trial of the case against the alleged per-
petrators of fraud at the polls, it having
already been shown that twenty-five out
of the twentythree members of the
grand jury were Republicans and that
the box from which the panel was drawn
contained ten Republicans to one Dem
ocrat But the Republican Judge re-
fused to have the letter read in evil
dence.
These are the Officials of the Florida
court for whose statements" against
their political opponents implicit conf
dence is asked b6cgus' they are officials.
Surely the force of brazen-faced effront-
cry can no farther go.-Detroit Free
Press.

gle. They have probably done the very
best that could be done under the cir
cumstances. 1t is true that they were
equal in number to the Republican
members. and that they represented
100000 more of the population of the
State than the Republican members
did. But they were no doubt subjected
to an enormous outside pressure not
duly appreciated by people at a distance.
In spite of it all, however, by persever-
ance, tact and indomitable pluck. they
have marched off with the prestige and
the honors of war of this famous con-
flict- May it be thirty-four years more

Republican Schemes to Capture a Ma
jority of the House Next Fall.
There are some intimations that the
President deprecates the adoption of
the bill introduced in Congress to inter
1ere with the Congressional districtino
OF Ohio. Secretary Halford's paper re-
1ers to 1T as measure of question: BILE
propriety. All the defense of it pro-
ceeds upon the assumption that the
democrats intend an outrageously par
tisan and unfair apportionment, one
similar to that now in operation ar
ranged by the Republicans Even if
that were true, the act could be made to
react upon the perpetrators. There
have been advantages taken Of such OBJ
portunities by both parties at different
times, but that does not make it justifia-
Die. The Democrats in Ohio would do
very unwise thing if they were to at
tempt to ger-ymander the State to Sc
cure advantage unwarranted by the pop
ular vote. They insist that they have
no such purpose. and no reason appears
for doubling their professions. In case
Congress should pass the Hoar or Wick
ham bill complication would probably
arise. The Democrats will no doubt
have the changes made before the act
can become operative, and they
would elect the twenty-one Con-
gressmen by the new districts,
while the Republicans would ad-
here to the old ones. The result
would be that each party would ask
seats for twenty-one men, and the en-
tire delegation admitted would be Re-
publican or Democratic according to the
strength of the parties in Congress out
side of Ohio. This is contingency to
be greatly deprecated. The Republic
ans do not mean to lose the next House
If foresight and devices Will obviate
that result. One of the most recent
schemes is for Congress to remain in
session till the census man reports his
count of population and then apportion
the membership under that. The
enumerators have till July to complete
the count, and it would be remarka BILE
piece of expedition if the computations
and returns could be made in month
Then after Congress had assigned the
members to the States, there would be
no time for the Legislatures to convene
and make the districts. Either Congress
must make the districts or the additional
members to States must be elected on a
general ticket. Where State loses a
member new problem would be pre-
sented. 1t is assumed that the census
will help out the Republicans. but
good deal of ingenuity will be requisite
to make any considerable advantage
out Of it. The great trouble they are
likely to iind in getting majority of
the next Congress is lack of votes.-St.
Paul Globe.

FIVE LITTLE SLAVES.

All, Miss Griselda Grumblegirl,
Your lips are all awry;
A frown is twisted like curl.
Above your hazel eye.
I'VE are so poor l hear you fling,
Il never can have any thing
Come, take your sewing up. and stitch,
And will tell you true;
You are not poor. but very rich,
With slaves to work Tor you
Five little slaves who never tire.
Who need no whip and ask no hire,
One pretty servant all the day
Takes hCards of treasure bright
And stores them in your mind away;
His name is Perfect Sight.
Give him. my dear, the best of care.
That when you're old he'll still be fair.
Another, smiling with his task.
Makes your dry crust of bread
Seem sweeter than the sweets you ask,
And wish you had instead.
Oh, do not spoil him as you go,
Lest he into monster grow.
Another works in glare or gloom,
Seizes the zephyr's sigh.
And brings to you such sweet perfume
As money can not buy.
Watch over II m, or when too late,
Ycu'I find him grown less delicate.
Then there is sharp young Hearing; he,
With flying footsteps, brings
Wise words. and foods of melody.
And stores OF merry things.
Be wary, lest he chill with cold,
And fail to worl, when you are old.
The last is lord of all the rest

THE DEADLOCK BROKEN.
A Victory of Which Democracy May Well
BE Proud.

a victory of Which Democracy May Well
Be Proud.
The breaking of the deadlock in
Iowa brings sense of relief to the
whole country, and a very natural feeling
of exultation to the Democratic heart.
When political party in State elects
the Governor and the Speaker of the
House for the first time in thirty-four
years it has great reason indeed to re-
joice and be glad.
The compromise finally reached, how
ever. is characteristic one. The
Democrats walk off with the honors
and the Republicans with the spoils of
Office and the political machinery. The
Democratic self-complacency will be
gratiiied every time it looks at the
Speakers chair. but the payroll and
the work of the committees will show
that the Democrats have probably
sacrificed material advantages to an
empty show. There Is a story afioat
about two men who had to divide be-
tween them lot of oysters, and who
did it by giving one of them the oysters
and the other the shells. This may
not be an exact illustration OF the
Iowa compromise, but certainly one sug-
gests the other. In fact, all compro-
misses between Democrats and Republic
ans are apt to end in that way, and the
reason is obvious: the Democratic party
is party of principles and the Re-
publican party is party of spoils. 1t
is sentiment against greed in every in
stance.
Still. there is abundant reason to ap-
plaud the course pursued by the Demo-
cratic members throughout this strug-

The prohibition of the use of the Ger
man language in the courts of the Baltic
provinces by the Russian Governme nt
has created a great confusion of tongues.
The majority of the population on the
Russian side of the Baltic knows little
or no Russian at all, and the scenes in
the courts, where the peasants seeking
justice and the lawyers pleading their
clients cases are unable to communicate
their grievances to the learned Judge
who knows no German, are any thing
but pleasing for those concerned One
barrister, on being required to sign an
oath, demanded that he might be al
lowed to study the document with the
aid of dictionary before he put his
name to it. This request, however, was
denied as ''unseemly and impudent."
The Judges themselves are in an
awkward plight, being ordered to go to
the Baltic provinces from their posts in
other parts of Russia, sometimes at only
a moments notice, and there seems to
be as complete chaos as is possible

Farmers of Minnesota +!

You are placed, as we are, in try
ing position. No laboring man who
is true to himself or his family can
honestly and consistently vote for
the old party tickets. You met the
farmers at least did sO-sent dele
gates to a state convention at ST..
Paul, and ticket was nominated for
state officers. Your choice, by an
overwhelming majority, was Hon.
1gnatius Donnelly, notwithstanding
hundreds of alliances would send no
delegates as long as the alliance was
under it's present management. But
55vOtes of fraudulent labor "heelers"
overbore your will, and at least a
score of other votes were fraudulent
ly counted. Still, the enemy, in the
person of political wire-pullers, were
not wholly ccessful-though still in
possession of campaign which they
are purposely mismanaging
What course can you pursue, if true
to the principles which called you in
to organization?
There is but one course. You can
not vote for the old parties. You can
vote for the new party without en-
dorsing the agencies at work to un-
dermine and destroy you. AS
whole the ticket is a good one. 1t is
better than the old party because the
candidates stand pledged to a better
platform. Cover for the time, your
old resentments against evil men in
our body. Above all, keep up your
organizations. Hold meetings. There
is a better day coming. The begin
ming of great things is always in
vOlved in difficulties.
This paper is tied to no party as a
party. 1t is absolutely independent.
1t is ''ofticial" in nothing 1t speaks
the heart and conscience and not the
belted gearing of intricate policies.
In view of all that lies before us we
urge you to vote the independent
ticket.

The lack OF enthusiasm of the
farmers over campaign matters is
caused by the cutthroat character of
the State Committee. Chairman
Phelps practically repudiates it-at
least he declares that Hall appointed
every one OF them-that he had no
voice in the matter. No wonder that
the campaign funds come in slowly
there's a sweet scented lot of fellows
to handle it. First, probably, that
$500 note given by Lathrop and
Hall for their personal political whel-
perry will have to be saddled on to
the farmers! The campaign cannot
be run without funds, and if there
can be no change in the campaign
committee there ought to be no
funds.
