Mr.. RAHILLY'S LETTER.

The Farmers Alliance of Minnesota
is having hard time of it. Internal
dissentions and personal jealousies are
initiating against it to an extent that
forebodes its dissolution and complete
collapse. 1t has got into the hands and
under the control of men bound to rule
or ruin. and as the two factions, both
bent upon attaining the same end, are
very nearly equal in numbers, the inevl-
table is apparent. Mr.. Burlingame, the
nominee for Attorney General recently
sent the Alliance committee a letter of
declination, and now P. Rahilly, the
nominee for State Auditor drops out.
In rendering his resignation to the State
committee, Mr.. Rahilly does so in the
following language:
After due consideration feel that must say,
as l said at the meeting of your committee when
l accepted the nomination, that in the absence
OF harmony in the party. among those who
should be it's councillors and leaders, | had
neither time nor money to fritter away in max
ing a hopeless contest. l stated fully my posi-
tion to both contending factions and waited
patiently for the outcome. Time has only con-
WINGED me that there is no peace to be had.
There seems to be a determination to rule or
ruin Therefore have no desire to enter into
any such contest.
Under the circumstances and in justice to the
members of the organization in this part of the
State, l am compelled to tender to your COM
mittee my defamation and say cannot con-
tinue longer to be a candidate for State Auditor
ON the Alliance and Industrial Union ticket.
1t is needless for me to say that am in full
sympathy and have always acted in harmony
with the agricultural and industrial classes Of
the State In capacity of legislator l have
never lost an opportunity to advocate their in
terests and defend their rights to the best of my
ability.
Owing to the unfortunate misunderstanding
among the leaders, the Alliance organization in
this part of the State has concluded to turn it's
attention to the legislative ticket and will see
that the proper parties are elected to represent
their interest in the State legislature.
For these, among other reasons, feel con-
strained to define the honor so generously ten
dered me by the convention.
Mr.. Rahilly Is entirely justified, under
the circumstance which now surround
and threaten the life of the organiza-
ton, in absolving any allegiance he may
haye felt for the party. 1t is unfortun-
ate for the movement that it has drifted
into this channel.

A New TOPICAL Song.

Cities may rave as much as they please
about the trash that is popularized by q
fun-loving public; but the topical song
is an American institution that has come
to stay. We are satir1cal people,
and the topical song affords force
and avenues for the arrows of wit and
sarcasm which we like to hurl at fads
and furbelows of all kinds. In conse-
quence new topical song awakens In
terest and enthusiasm, where new lee
ture, made up of platitudes, would be
damned with faint praise. Just now
the new topical song we are singing is
Take the st. Paul & Duluth" and it
makes hit every time. Their road, as
you are aware, is the short line between
st. Paul and the great lakes, and is a
finely equipped, easily graded, and
quick scheduled route. Always take
the Duluth Short Line between Duluth,
West Superior, st. Paul, minneapolis,
and other points. Quick connections
beyond. And if you are sportsman,
we can show you some of the finest
game In the country, Get your gun,
whistle for your dog, and take little
trip. You will find the Duluth Short
Line the most popular route. Informa-
ton furnished by all ticket agents, or

PREFERRED TO DIE FIGHTING.
Head Chief and Young Mule, the Cheyenne
Murderers, Meet Death Half Way.

Head Chief and Young Mule, the Cheyenne
Murderers, Meet Death Half Way.
MILES CITY, Mont, Sept. 1S.-Partic-
ulars just received of the killing, at
Cheyenne Agency, of Head Chief and
Young Mule, the murderers of Hugh
Boyle, state that Great Cooper refused
to negotiate with the father of Head
Chief for the surrender Of the two Ind
ians on the basis of their being granted
immunity from punishment The old
man then said that the two young bucks
would come into the agency and
Attack the Troops,
at the same time indicating the direc-
ton from which they would approach.
The soldiers and Indian police were
drawn up to meet them, when, half an
hour after the fathers departure, Head
Chief and Young Mule were seen COM
ing on ponies at full speed and arrayed
in war paint and feathers. They
charged the full length of the
line of soldiers and police; retreated,
and charged again. The volleys of the
troops had, up to this time been inefec-
tual. Finally, however, a chance shot
hit Young Mules pony leaving him dis
mounted. Head Chief at once put his
pony to the top of his speed, and alone
Swept Down Upon the Armed Line,
firing his rifle rapidly as he charged.
He was then shot twice through the
forehead and once in the mouth, dying
instantly. Young Mule, seeing the fate
of his companion, instead of attempting
to retreat, commenced chanting the
death song and was advancing
upon the troops, when he was hit in the
side. He then jumped into hole in the
ground and fired one more shot. He
was later found dead in the pit.

MANKATO FREE PRESS
FREE TEXT BOOKS.

No single plank in the Republican
platform is deserving of more hearty en-
dorsement than that proposing free text
books for use in schools. The State fur
nishes everything else necessary for the
education of the young except books,
and there is no reason why these should
not be provided for out of the funds of
the treasury. 1t would be God-send,
too, to large number of poor people
who are now at the mercy of book mon
opolists. The Mortified Neocs echoes
the sentiment of great number OF peo-
pie in the following:
While other publications are printed
and sold at the very lowest price that
can be produced by competition, the
school book publishers have combined
and are growing rich at the expense of
the poor in every community. Indeed,
the price of school books is held at so
high figure as to prevent many parents
from sending their children to school;
and these soulless cormorants are thus
preventing the growth of the people in
intelligence The man or trust that
would steal the state school fund, or he
who would use the state school lands
for private gain, would be regarded as a
public malefactor; and yet, the public
patiently endures trust, which, under
the color of law, robs the poorest man
of the right to educate his children.
And the worst of it is, the men who con-
stitute the combine are honored as good
citizens and pious social examplars.
Let the state pay for all school DOCKS,
and this constituencies trust which
''steals the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in" will die.

SENATOR WAsHBURN is at home in Min
neapolis and he will not return to WASH
ington until the next session of con-
gress. The Senator's son. W. D., Jr.,
will be married to Portland, (Oregon)
lady on the 25th, and Mr.. Washburn
with his family will leave for that city
on Friday to be present at the cere-
MONIES. Speaking to a newspaper re-
porter on the tariff question, the Sena-
tor says that the question of plac-
cling binding Irvine on the free list would
no doubt pass the house. Dilating upon
Blaine, Window and Reed, Mr.. Wash
burn is quoted as saying:
"Blaine's reciprocity scheme has won him
hosts of friends andsupporters he could nothave
counted upon before. Blaine works very hard,
but seems to stand the strain with astonishing
vigor. The last timeI saw him, which was a
few weeks ago, he looked better and stronger
than have seen him for three years. You can
also say that there is less criticism of the adj
minstration than there was at first. The adj
ministration is giving general satisfaction.
1.-THE cabinet is in some respects strong one.
If you should ask me to tell you who had risen
the Emost rapidly in the estimation of the
public since the beginning of the present admin
istration, I would unhesitatingly answer Secre-
tary Window. Mr.. WINDOWS management of
the treasury department has been such as to
inspire the greatest confidence and admiration.
Mr.. Window is very strong with his party to-
day, and has won general popularity besides.
II think Reed is a man of undoubted power
and influence. His tactics as speaker have won
him great many admirers. How long such
popularity will last tits impossible to predict"

BUT Mr.. Buck positively declined 1.-THE
nomination for governor1, and his princi-
pal reason was that his name had been
used with his consent before the Ali
ance convention, where Mr.. Owen, the
present nominee, was one of his earnest
supporters. and Mr.. Owen having re-
ceived and accepted that nomination, it
would not now be right for him Mr..
Buck TO antagonize that gentleman by
accepting the Democratic nomination.
This and nothing more is the reason for
Mr.. Bucks declination, He does not feel
sore in any sense, for he knows that had
he permitted his friends to continue the
canvass his nomination was among the
reasonable probabilities.-RecieaO.
The ReoieaO may, perhaps, be able to
choke down the Threats of the unin-
formed such verbiage as the above, but
those who know tie truth in the matter
will smile at Mr.. Wise's peculiar apollo
gies. The fact is, and there is no secret
to be divulged by making the statement,
Mr.. Buck withdrew his name from the
list of Democratic candidates for the
nomination of governor for the simple
reason that he did not propose to stand
and see himself sold out by pretended
friends. He found out to his entire
satisfaction that the worst kind of dis
oyalty was being practiced toward him,
and by some of the very men in Man
kato who were the most loud mouthed
in gaining his consent to the use of his
name Whether Mr.. Buck is "sore' or
not. he comes mighty near spottlng those
who PLAYED him false, and the gratuit-
GUS apologies made by the editor of the
Reyiev for the Withdrawal of his name
may and may not be pleasant reading to
him. It is more than likely that they
are not. Mr.. Buck has heretofore been
able to express his OaVn views over his
oaca signature, and it is no way likely
that he has delegated authority to 9TH
ers, much less the editor of the ReUieoU,
to speak for him at this time. He has
been treated shamefully by the Demo-
cratic party, and blame for this is at
tachabie more to few of the so-called
leaders of the party in Mankato than
elsewhere. AND the editor of the RenieoC
is in the secret of just who did the "fun-
ny work" He is very closely allied to
at least one of the individuals.

SCHOOL LANDS
FOR SALE.

l offer for sale 5000 acres of
School and Internal Improvement
Lands from So to $I2.5o per acre
and over, according to quality
and location. $4.25 or over on
each acre is payable to the state
of Minnesota at any time within
80 years after the date of sale by
the state, which was from 1883
to 1886, with interest thereon at
S per cent. per annum. The bal
ance due me will be taken on
long time and small payments.
Will give contract of sale to any
person who will make improve
ments by building or breaking
this year without any cash pay
ment, if desired.
Now is your time to buy. The
public lands of the United States
that can be cultivated without ir-
rigation are practically all ex-
hausted, and all good school and
internal improvement lands of the
state have been sold. By the
regular increase of population
there will be three farmers in the
United States in 12H years from
now to every two now. Long be-
fore that time the few cheap lands
including these that have beenkept
cheap by free government lands
will advance at least to an equal
price with no better lands in old
settled portions of the country,
which sell for from $50 to SIS
per acre. 1t is safe to say that
within less than ten years every
acre of good land in Southern
Minnesota will be worth $50 per
acre and upwards.
Those having bargains in i'm
proved farms will do well to put
the same in my hands for sale, as l
shall advertise largely.

JUST so! Here is what the Albert Lea
Standard has to say about the recent ac-
ton of the Blue Earth County Farmers
Alliance convention:
Such strange antics OF farmers movement
are surprising, as Senator Pope, although a
Democrat, was one of the most conscientious,
upright and able senators who ever sat in the
upper house ofthe Minnesota legislature, always
fighting monopoles and doing all that lay in his
power to advance legislation in behalf OF the
people When legislators who have worked for
the interest of farmers are kicked out by this
very class and their places given to men who are
untried and inexperienced it is pretty good evil
dence that men of that stamp are not apprecia-
ted and are not wanted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.--V Vaccarno,
superintendent of silk culture, agricul-

the extent of $4,000 by two of his fell
low countrymen. They represented
themselves several days ago to be rich
Wine merchants OF California, and the
three men became great friends. On
the pretense of not having received a
draft from home with which to pay the
charges on lot of wine shipped to
them, they borrowed $4,000 from Mr..

been heard of them.

The peace and relief of death came to
Capt. and Mrs Geo. Lamont's son, George,
at his parents home in South Rock
Island, 1T 7:45 this morning. The trouble
was structure of the throat, the cause and
peculiar attending circumstances OF
which we're stated in the ARGUS OF
Tuesday evening. The boy had, until
Yesterday morning, taken nothing into
his stomach since last Friday morning,
but after Monday he did not appear to
suffer o. to crave anything, but call for
water. At 4:S0 yesterday morning his
throat opened enough to admit half glass
of milk hut it soon closed again. He died
of starvation. and to the last breath he
was not known to manifest fretful sign
or sn evidence OF discomfort. He was
well known in this city and in Mo
line. He often made visits tc
our factories and business house:
and he was so quiet and unassum'
ing in lis ways that people liked to have
him about. He liked TO see things fol
himself and while he was not given TO
asking questions, he acquired genera
knowledge that few of his age possessed.
