Tells II Differently.

William Teifor, U. s. s. Canandaigua, Sol.
diers' Home, Los Angeles County, Cal. thinks
that COmrade Simmons Of the BROOKLYN
knew very little about the Confederate ram
attack Off Charleston. judging by his recent
article. The ram that struck the Mercedita
gave her only glancing blow which did her
little damage and hurt none of her crew, as she
surrendered at once; those in command said
she was sinking and asked to ne taken off but
were told by the rebels that they had no room
for them, and that she would not sink below
the deck. The officers aud crew were paroled
aud the next day the Mercedita steamed down
to Hilton Head for orders, nnaided, and few
days later went North. there TO lay by inglOri-
ously until the war was over. The Keystone
State acted differently; for soon as she saw
the ram approaching she slipped her cable and
made for her, intending to ram her down, but
before she could reach the ram shell exploded
in her steamdrum. disabling her boilers, killing
and wounding many of her crew; but disabled
she was the rebel ram glad to get away
from her. The Keystone State was crippled
indeed, and was t0wed TO Hilton Head for re-
pairs 10 her machinery. boiler and bulls. The
writer thinks that the truth ought to be told
in every case even If the glorious account Of
the attack of the ram on the Mercedita and
what her crew suffered is found to be false.

At recent term of court in Otter
Tail county case was tried in which
our usury law was made play prom
inent part. One of the parties had
given a mortgage On property for the
sum of $3.50, when the debt was only
S74l. The mortgage was duly exc
cuted and no denial of the debt was
made. After running six years, dur
ing which time the principal and in
terest amounted to 81, 200, an attempt
was made to collect the debt. The
debtor set up the claim that the diff
ference between S741 and $3.50 was
usury, and asked that the whole debt
be Cancelled in accordance with the
provisions Of the usury law. The
creditor assented that the 50 claimed
to be usury was agreed upon as an
expense for making out and recording
the papers for the mortgage. The
case was given to the jury with the
instructions to decide: "Was the
transaction usurious?" They decided
it was, that the So was usury, and
that the debt of 81 200 was wiped out.
The TRIBUNE is of the opinion that a
usury law which enables man to es-
cape from paying debt which he
has acknowledged to be due and had
agreed to pay, should be wiped from
our statute books, and we further be-
lieve that man who will take adj
vantage of that law to escape the pay
ment of his debts, is little if any
better than old Shylock the Jew who
wanted his money Or the pound of
flesh, because it was $50 nominated
in the bond"

According to a dispatch from To-
peka, Kansas, Jerry Simpson was not
received with tom-toms and other
demonstrations which usually attend
a Kansas homecoming, on his return
from his trip to the East. The rea-
son for this is plain. His farmer consti-
tuents have tenn reading the news
papers. Through this medium they
have watched day by day the gradual
decline os Jerry. They have read
that Jerry looked upon that monster,
Jaw Gould, without even showing
disposition to tear him limb from
limb. They have read that Jerry
Simpson dined at real aristocratie
lunch counters with Medusa-headed
bank presidents. Aud they have al
so read with oh what pangs Of grief
that their stainless, watchless, sock
less Jerry Simpson was seen to shake
hands with those modern Calibans,
the bulls and bears of Wall street.
After reading of these vicious habits
acquired by him they were wont to
learn from, is it any wonder that they
now regard him with lack-lustre eyes?
The farmers of Kansas are but NOR
tai.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: VIII you kindly
allow me small space in yonr yalu=
able paper to express some ideas
| which have been on my mind fol
quite a while. The strained
position of capital to labor has given
rise to innumerable organizations on
both sides. On the side of capital
we are pleased to call them trusts; on
the side of labor we call them Allan
ces' unions, brotherhoods, etc, Again
these organizations have evolved
questions of political economy of
which our forefathers never dreamed.
That there will be a great evolution
in the science Of government is ap-
parent to every thinking man. The
present state Of affairs between labor
and capital makes it absolutely neces-
sary. Whether this evolution come
from the Alliance, or the confedera=
lions of labor, or from the old estab-
lished Republican and Democratic or
some new party, remains to be proven.
It is enough for as TO know that it is
our duty, individually, as nea sgio
have the welfare of our country and
ourselves at heart, to study the meth
DDS Of legislation which the different
organizations and parties propose, so
that when the proper time GENES we
can do our duty conscientiously.
A stranger viewing our snug little
county from afar, knowing that we all
depend upon the prosperity Of agri=
culture for existence, that we are all
honest and fairnlinded individuals,
would naturally think that we all
agreed on methods Of political econo.
my. But such is not the case. And
why not9 Simply because some Of us,
or probably all of us, are not enlight-
ened enough to believe in the best
methods Of political economy.
In addition to three parties now in
existence new party has just been
formed, and like the old ones it has
code of principles which are said to
be Unjust, laughable, unappreciated,
etc, Maybe they are, but we farmers
believe in them and perhaps we are
wrong; il SO we should like to find
out before it is too late tomend. We
farmers, at least the majority of us,
have never paid much attention to
political economy and we will humbly
confess that we don't know much
about it, SO you see possibly some of
our ways are little crude and impracz
ticable. But we seek light. This is an
off year in politics, when men can dis
cuss issues more reasonably than next
year. Now let me hunbly make an
suggestion: Could we not have a
meeting or series Of meetings where

DR.. j. G. Curryer, editor of the
Minnesota Horseman, spent several
days in our city last week. Doctor is
one of the best posted horseman IN
the state and it is rare treat to hear
him talk horse. His fund OF infor-
nation on breeding and training trot-
ters and PAGERS, is inexhaustible.
Doctor is proprietor of the Linden
Stock Farm of Lake Crystal, the
home of the Wilkes in Minnesota.
Capt. Wilkes the head of his stud,
is the only horse in the state eligible
and registered in both the trotting
and pacing register. His breeding is
rare combination of the Wilkes and
Tom Hal blood. Doctor is master
with horses and no mistake. He
taught some of our local hocsemen a
lesson that they will never forget.
While looking over our local horses a
stallion was brought out for inspec-
ton. The horse was young and spiri-
ted and the man III charge threathen-
ly carried a whip, the doctor protest
ed it was an abuse, no whip was need
ed and the reply was, Il guess l know
my business, this horse needs whip"
Thereupon the doctor demonstrated
the power of kindness. He took the
whip and threw it down, removed the
large bride from the horse, simply
adjusting a small piece of Irvine on
the horses neck, carressed the horse a
moment to give him confidence, and
then Immediately the wild stallion
that required a bride strong enough
to hold an elephant, and a whip swing
ing over him (?) followed the Doctor
about as mild as a cosset.
Horsemen don't spoil your colts by
running their tempers by whips. The
colts so abused become surl y and will
fight you. Charles Marvin, the driver
of Sunol and the greatest driver of
the age, referring to the whip in driy-
ing, says: "While 1 always carry q
whip, it is more for ornament than
for use.''

Councillor Stenger-I think the best
way is to hire our physician by the
year, on regular salary.
Councillor Wellington-I am dead
against issuing any more bonds, when
we have nothing to show for it. This
thing of bonding the village to pay
marshal and night watch salaries
won't do. Let us levy taxes sufficient
to pay off the Indebtedness.
President Watzke-If we keep on
issuing bonds for every debt, where
will it end? All in favor of the mo-

Recorder Elliott listens, thinks a
good deal, and holds his peace. That
would try the patience of an angel to
do as we'll and stay until the council
adjourned.
The prospects are reasonably good
to have the $1,000 past due bonded
debt refunded, and $1,000 additional
issued, which will give us an $4,000

The meeting, by a vote of three
ayes to two nays, increased the levy
for road and bridge purposes 100 per
cent. This, we presume, is to har-
monize with the 20 per cent. increase
on saloon license.
Councillor Stenger wants to know
the difference between a pack peddler
and an auctioneer. Our friend Judge
H can probably define the latter

Councillor Murphy and Attorney
Bevans can smoke a corn cob pipe
while Councillors Wellington, Wilson
and Stenger wrangle two hours and
fifty-nine minutes on small physi-
clans bill, or $1,000 bond, and say
nothing.
Physician Hulburd is quite satisfied
with the present arrangement as to
pay, but would discount his bill five
per cent. for cash. The bill was
slightly disfgured before Charley
Wilson put the go. K" mark ON it.
1t wasn't cash, either Treasurer
Larson will probably be called upon
to register the order, "no funds"
Such is life.
Gus Stenger feels quite satisfied
we can meet our maturing bonds in
the same manner all other bonds are
met. We think Gus is correct.
Recorder Elliott has full power and
authority to advertise for sealed bids
for 1900 bonds at six per cent, due
in ten years; but the council has the
right to reject any and ALL bids. The
council likes to show their authority.
It's quite an object to have authority.
Ordinance No. AZ is the last pro-
duction of the inventive brain of At
torney Bevans. Councillor Stenger
fathered the bill. It is for the pur-
pose of establishing the fire limits.
Gus tried to push the bill through
second and third reading and pass it
under suspension of the rules, but he
got left. You will doubtless be more
successful next time, Gus. Hope you
will bring the matter up before mid
night next time, and extend the limits
