The New Orleans Republican, the new
daily paper just started in the Crescent
City, says in its salulatory:
There is but one kind of true Repub-
icanism and that is anchored in a de-
Votien to the grand and unchanging
principles underlying the great Republi-
can party. That is the sort this paper
shall advocate. Such are the princi-
Cipies it will defend. The traditions OF
n party which has lifted mankind unto
q higher and grander plane of civilization
will have no warmer devotee.
The Republican is right, and few
more plain truth-telling papers of like
spirit, would be great advantage to
Che Southern States. The oldest inbab-
itant can find nothing eleyating in any
direction in the doctrines or prac-
ices of the Democracy. No principle,
policy, or measure calculated to elevate
s the people to higher plan of civiliza-
lion or prosperity, mentally, morally or
pecuniarily ever originated in the Dem
docratic party.

ExPEDIENCY VS.. PRINCIPLE.

The letter recently written by Mr..
Owen, Alliance candidate for governor,
declining nomination Of the Democrat
C convention, embodies sentiments
which honors him who gave them utter
1ance, and if the local organizations
throughout the State, in nominating
: Legislative and county tickets, would ad-
here to the principles of their party and
desist from becoming the allies of the
Democratic party, they would more
: generally gain the confidence of the peo-
pie and at the aame time exhibit prin-
ciple, instead of an expediency, in their
cause. Mr.. Owen took the ground that
he would rather suffer defeat with a
Z % rinciple behind him than to secure sue
cess as form of expediency by being
made the tool and foot ball of Democra-
&cY. Per contra of this independent and
ecommendable stand, the Alliance party
of Blue Earth county throwed principle
ITO the four winds ans adopted a plan
whereby some of its insincere leaders
believed would bring success-that of at
aaching itself to the tail of the Demo-

cratic kite. By this act it has lost what
ever prestige it's schemers had hoped to
gain. and through their bargaining and
sale have brought discredit upon the or
ganization they so fagra ntly mlsrepre
sented. There is hardly county IN the
State where such fattering prospects
for success awaited the judicious action
of the Alliance party as Blue Earth.
The nomination of Gen. Pope for Sena-
tor would not only have pressaged sue
GEES at the polls, but it would also have
demonstrated to the people that the
party was sincere IN its declarations
against railroad extortions and unjust
determinations. Of all men in this
county if not in the state, he was the
one who had given months of hard and
earnest labor to bring about exactly what
the farmers have been most clamorous
for. In throwing him over and select
ing railroad attorney who, we are au-
thoritatively informed, carries pass IN
his pocket on account of being paid
attorney for the G. M. & st. 2. R. B.,
gives evidence of q trade and sale too
fragrant to admit of denial and too open
to demand further proof. And in the
face of this the Blue Earth County
Farmers Alliance, in it's platform, de-
mands the reduction in passenger tariff
to two cents per mile. Is there a man
in the Alliance, or out of it, for that
matter, who honestly believes that May
or Pfau, if he be elected State Senator,
will exercise himself very much to get
such reduction, when he carries an
annual pass of railroad corporation in
his pocket. Not any. The true Alliance
man, he who believes change is need
ed. will not assent to a sell-out of his
| principles by supporting the ticket put
up at Good Thunder. The action there
absolves him from any allegiance he
may have felt he owed the organization,
and he will now be guided by the die
tates of his own conscience as to who
and who not to support at the polls.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 10, 1890.
Editor Free Press:
Speaker Read is the hero of the hour.
While write, the "kids," (many of
them gray-haired) are whoopin' it up
for him at the Shoreham, where he is
being serenaded by the Marine Band,
and receiving the hearty congratulations
of his hosts of friends. The phenom-
email result of the Maine election places
Mr.. Reed not far from the head of the
list of presidential possibilities. But it
does more than that. 1t is a splendid
endorsement of the administration; a
rebuke to the half-hearted Republicans
who were caught mapping in Vermont;
and powerful incentive to the Repub-
licans of all the States to do likewise.
The Pine Tree Republicans send greet
ing to those of the North Star State, and
the latter should and will elect their
governor and congressman by a like
emphatic majority.
The result in Maine settles the hash"
of Jim Baker, J. N. Castle, and all the
other Democratic aspirants for Con-
gressional honors, and secures the re-
turn Of all the Republican nominees.
1t isn't best to be over-confdent; but
there is triumph in the air for Mime
sofa Republicans, and from now until
the close of the polls in November it
ahoul6 ho tho dim IF tho GRAND old ma rtv
to make its victory decisive. w. L. A.

Doc AMES has been whipped into line
and will take the stump in defense of
Thomas Wilson, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor and railroad attor-
rney. There was time not so very long
ago when the redoubtable doctor was
decryine monopolies and monopolists
in laundering tones and with vehement
gestures. But that was when he was
trying to make the people believe that
all such belonged to the Republican
party. Now that he has monopolistic
lawyer to defend, man who has moth
ng in common with the people except
the votes they control, it will be inter-
ssting to see how easily the anti-Catho-
lie ex-Mayor Of Minneapolis will adapt
himself to the changed condition of
Things. The doctor will find that it is
mo theory which confronts him. 1t is a
condition, and such an one as the peo-
pie will be slow to adopt. If some are
djspleased with the thought of bank
er for governor, how much more so will
they be at the idea of having paid at
torney for a great railroad corporation
thrust upon them. II am not here to
say word against railroads or corpora
aons," says the corporation candidate
Z Tor governor of the Democratic party.
Very likely not; but the people are here
TO file their objections just the same, and
Mr.. Wilson will see the recorded ver-
dict in November in letters of carmine.
And it will read: "The people are not
here 10 eleuate to places of great public trust
railroad Lawyefs and corporation counsel

A Terrible Accident.


One Of the most distressing accidents
that has ever happened in Butler county
was that on the McElwee farm, neal
Millerstown, last Sunday night.
4 young man named Ransell was on
tour at an oil well, and had laid down and
fallen asleep alongside the boiler. Towards
morning the rope holding the weight ol
the safety valve broke, the valve flew up,
and young BanseH was awakened by his
clothing being saturated with escaping
steam and scalding water BE was thrown
into such confusion by the sudden fright
and pain that he conld not readily find the
door Of the small room for escape, and be
fore be could manage to open the door, the
room had filed with steam and he was
completely scalded. Then he started to
run to his boarding house, but fell by the
way, and was found and carried in by the
man he boarded with and whoJhad heard
the noise.
When his clothing was removed nearly
his entire skin, some flesh, finger ard toe
nails, and hair came of, and he fingered in
great agony till Tuesday afternoon when
death relieved him.
He was young man and had lately
been married to Miss Hildebrand, of
Donegal Twp.

Mrs. Beecher's Story.

1t is granted to but few women to be
part Of such an eventful life as has been
that of the wife of Henry Ward Beecher.
No man of this century had such a busy
life, filed with so many honors and achieve
ments; and to view such a career through
the eyes of his lifelong companion is a
pleasure rarely given TO a public. Mr.
Beeeher was lover of the domestic fire
side. "My home is my temple" he once
said, and in that home he gathered round
him what his nature loved best birds,
flowers, and dainty bits Of china and costly
gems. If he was great in public life, Mr.
Beecher was greater in his home-life In
the one capacity he gave himself to public;
in the other he reserved himself for his
family. In this latter light he will be
viewed by his widow in notable series of
reminiscent papers in The Lddies' Home
journal, of Philadelphia. during 1891 The
articles will cover the entire period Of their
marriage from their first year of married
lite, when the couple lived on $500 for
twelve months, until the closing of Mr..
Beecher's great career Mrs. Beecher will
tell of mr. Beecher as | Knew Him" and
thousands viii gladly listen to her interest
ing story.
