A BooDLER is supposed to be
devoid of principle, but there is a
distinction between an ''unprinci-
pied boodler" and "plain boo
dler.'' Scabby French, of the
Monticello Times, is a good sample
of the ''unprincipled boodler'- he
preys On friend and foe alike; ev-
erything is fish that comes to his
net. The best exemplifcation of
a ''plain boodler'' is a member of
the legislature who betrays his con-
stituents for paltry consideration
and then hires such mercenaries as
French and Benedict to defend him
from the ''vicious'' attacks of the
fearless and independent news
papers. There, Mr.. Pioneer, of
Wadena, that is the best definition
we can give.

IHE editor of the UNION is now
and always has been an ardent ad-
mlrer OF G. K. Davis. In point of
ability, we believe, he has no peer
among the public men of Mime
sofa to-day. But at the same time
some of Mr.. Davis over-zealous
friends are injuring his cause by
creating needless antagonisms.
Before g. K. Davis or any other
Republican can be elected to the
United States senate in 1898, it IS
very necessary to have the requisite
number of votes on a Joint ballot
in the legislature. You must
catch your hare before you can
cook it. Strife breeders who are
continually dragging Gov. Mer-
rlam's name into the senatorial
fight should be relegated to the
rear. Let up on Gov. Merriam.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. of

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, of St.
Paul, is st0unch Roman Catholic.
but he IS respected and beloved by
men OF all denominations. In a
recent interview he is quoted as
saying; 1--WE acknowledge the
Pope of Rome as our chieftain in
spiritual matters and we are clad
to receive direction from him.
But men in Germany, or Switzer-
land or Ireland must mind their
own business and be still as, to
ours" Bishop Ireland is a broad
gauge man and a thorough Ameri-
can.

Eva Mcdonald is back from the

happy in the fact that Ignatius
Donnelly did not get away with
her in the political fight. Eva is a

1t is to be hoped that she will form
an alliance of two before long, set

something for the good of he1

JoHN ZEwALD, at present a resi-

having killed one wife at Coon
Creek, Anoka county, BY poison
ing her II years ago. Then he re-
moved to Wayne, Nebraska, re-
married, and three years later got
rid of his second wife by choking
her to death. Zewald's conscience
troubled him and he confessed his
crimes to a Sacramento justice last
week. His first wife died sud

Unless the people of Monticello

Unless the people of Monticello
have abandoned all hopes Of secur-
ing a bridge at that place, it would
seem as though their good sense
would impell them to muzzle, kill,
or send to the lunatic asylum, the
crazy idiot who conducts their
local paper. Last week it had
half a column of idiotic abuse of
County Attorney Atkins, because
he had the audacity to write very
polite note for Mr.. Corey, chair
man of the board of county COM
missioners of Sherburne county.
in response to one received from
the chairman of the Wright county
board. The diatribe merely
serves to drive another nail in the
coffin of the bridge project, to
join innumerable others driven by
the same irresponsible Individual.
Ii the Monticello bridge really
does fail Of realization, it will be
almost wholly because Of the lack
of sense on the part of the ass who
runs the Times and Gisu,1stc ava,,y-
body who comes in contact with
him.-E2h Riyer St0r-Neacs.

teams, eighteen head Of stock and.
all their household effects. To
such wcomers we. extend a hearty
welcome. They are the kind Of
settlers we want. There is room
for many more like them in the
north end Of Mile Lacs county.
Your correspondent heard one
of the Rum River lumbermen re-
mark the other day: ''If you want
news get the Princeton Union. I
take the Anoka Her0zG and Union
and the Minneapolis Tribune, but
for news that interests me [ would
rather have the Princeton UNION
than all three of them" That is
what we all think, and / find it
hard work to keep our copy long
enough to read it.
The settlers were glad to read
the letter from III. M. Rice, pub
ished in the UNION, but they
would have been better pleased if
he had said, eve are going to move
the Indians at once" The red
skins are getting out of provisions
and hang around the whites beg
ging pitifully for something to eat.
Mr.. Rice says nearly 200 Indians
have been moved. Instead of be-
ing thinned out, they are thicker
than ever this spring. Nearly 200
we're over at the big dance.
We are jubilant over the recent
decision Of Secretary Noble in
which he sustains the action of the
Land Commissioner in giving the
odd sections to the settlers. Others
may condemn Mr.. Noble, but we
think he is the best man that has
filled the position of secretary of
the interior for many years. Pres
ident Harrison cannot afford to
dispense with the service of Secre.
tary Noble. Anyhow, the settlers
around Mile Lacs lake have conf
dence in Mr.. Noble.
They had quite an exciting time
at D. II. Robbins ranch a day OF
two ago. Two big Indians went
there and asked for some milk.
Mr.. R. gave them some, and soon
after one Of them wanted to know
il he could use q part Of the field.
Mr.. r. said no. The Indian raised
an Ak and struck at MI. r. A
scuffle ensued. In less than mo-
mlent a score of bucks, squaws and
papooses were on the scene. The
Indian got the worst of it, but MI.
Us shirt was torn into rags, his
tongue was bitten through and the
thumb Of his right hand was dis
located. The Indians had been
drinking but were not drunk. It
is astonishing the amount of whis-
key the Indians get hold of. No
less than nine bucks we're laid out
dead drunk on the shore of Wig
wan Bay one day this week. "
T To-day the lake is like an i'm
mense mirror. Here and there
bark canoes filled mostly with In
dian women and children, coming
from the south we see. a sail-boat
creeping along, while away off east
the little steamer goes putting
along on her way to Garrison. AS
One stands and drinks in the beauty
all around, the dark green of the
stately pines and the lighter green
of the lovely naples and other
hardwood trees, with the pretty
white tepees lining the shore, what
a magnificent panorama is un-
folded to the view. How one
longs for the power to transfer the
scene to canvass or paper. In a
few short years, when the iron
horse snorts along the banks of
this little inland sea, the outside
world will know more Of beautiful
Mile Lacs lake and it's picturesque
surroundings.
