As a downright, unadulterated
copperhead newspaper the Minneap-
oils Times is entitled to the front.
A more INSCRIPTIONS defamer OF the
old soldiers cannot be found in the
land, north or south. No, there is not
a newspaper in one of the states IN
Guided within what was called the
"Southern Confederaey" that would
be guilty of using such abusive Ian
guage towards the Union soldiers as
that used by this same Minneapolis
Times, paper that claims to be the
organ of the Democratic party OF
Minnesota. 1t was not enough that
this copperhead sheet should defend
the resolution passed by the Kansas
Alliance editors, declaring the Grand
Army of the Republic to have been
organized for the purpose of robbing
the national treasury, but in its issue
of June 5th it must refer to the old
soldiers as putting on the uniform,
taking government pay and bounty
and following drum" That "there
is more self-sacrifice in the lives OF
the coal miners than there is in all the
trumpery of throat-cutting;" grand
jury of military idlers," and such like
miserable abuse. 1t is very great
pity that this defamer of the men who
stood like a wall of fire against the
encroachments of armed rebellion
couldn't have been a participant in at
least one first class battle, like Gettys-
burg or Chickamauga, and then he
could better appreciate who is the
greatest hero, the soldier or the coal
miner. Every old soldier, and every
relative and friend of a soldier, should
let the Minneapolis Times severely
alone" Out upon the miserable cop
perhead sheet!

The Long and the Short of It,

Out of two million Union Soldiers
in the last war, three-foultIls were
American birth. Of the remainder
$4,000 were Germans, 10000 Irish,
$4,000 English, and $4,000 Canadians.
The average height was S feet 81
inches. Out of one million recorded
heights, there were 1000 men over
six feet. The tallest man in the SER
vice was Capt. Van Buskirk of the
18th Indiana, WHO stood feet l01a
inches in his stockings. The shortest
soldier was member of the 1872 Ohio,
whose stature WIS only 40 inches. In
the matter Of Railroads athe long and
short of it" is that the length of the
Burlington lines is over 1000 miles,
and it is the shortest, quickest and
reaching all the larger places in ten
states west Of Chicago.

What Reciprocity Means.

New York Sun: The full purpose
and ultimate significance of the reel
procity programme conceived by Mr.
Blaine did not at first reveal them
selves to the public mind. Even the
commercial and industrial advantages
derivable from such a policy were not
instantly and clearly appreciated.
Still less was the political significance
of scheme, the most capacious ever
formed by an American statesman
since Thomas Jefferson planned the
purchase of Louisiana, at once dis
tinctly recognized. Yet little refec-
ton must convince us that under the
guidance of Secretary Blaine we have
entered on a course whose fixed and
by no means distant goal is the &C
quirement for the United States of not
only commercial, but political ascend
ancy throughout the Western hemi-
sphere.

Col. r. G.. Ingersoll, the great
free-thinker" and the first orator in
the land, speaking of the Alliance,
says: I do not blame the farmers for
trying to better their condition. They
have certainly had hard time, and
they feel that they have been op-
pressed by the bankers, railroads,
merchants and patent medicine max
ers, to say nothing of ministers and
lawyers. Every thing seems to be
against them. They have to fight
frosts and floods and drought, and all
sorts OF bugs and worms, and specu-
lators and cyclones and all the birds
OF the air. Everybody and every
thing takes toll from the farmers.
No wonder that they want to do
something

We learn that those articles which
appear in the Minneapolis Times so
full of abuse of the old soldiers are
written by young renegade Repub-
ican from Iowa. He writes, it is said,
what he does not believe, but does it
for pay. Young man, we pity you.
Our advice is, throw up your situation,
go back to Iowa and engage in the
honorable occupation of corn raising.
If you remain much longer in present
position you may forget your early
teachings and become an old Bour-
bon Democrat, and when you come to
yourself, cry out, as did Cassie, Othel-
los lieutenant, after being drunk:
Reputation, reputation, reputation
O! I have lost my reputation"

There is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teasponful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

year of his age. Mr.. Whiteman is the

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
A Large Gathering of Stevens County
Farmers.
A Very Instructive, Interesting and
Profitable Session.

Court house hall was completely
filled with interested farmers and
others OH Monday last, the occasion
being the Minnesota Farmers's Insti-
tute, held at that place.
The session opened ut $50, by IN
address by O. G. Gregg upon "GlAti-
walton of the soil" in which he gave
his experience, strongly recommend
ing the growing of crop of clover
and occasionally turning it under u,
a dressing for the ground.
Then came talk on the "possibili-
ties of IL corn crop by that sturdy old
farmer, Theo. Lewis, probably by far
the best authority on the subject of
any man in Minnesota. His expert
ence dates back for many years, and
he is still engaged in raising corn IN
the southern part Of the state on a
sandy farm, where he commenced
raising 10 bushels to the acre and i'll
creased it TO over Il hundred bushels.
Geo. McKerrow from Southern Wis
consin gave much valuable informal
ton in regard to sheep raising.
VIM. Somerville gave his experience
in raising small fruit, which was very
interesting.
BY way of variety i'll the proceed
ings Miss Sanford. teacher of elocu-
ton in the State University. fead
Oliver Wendell Holmes some Horse
Shay" that unique description of the
old Wind-broken, knock-kneed, spav-
ined horse who astonished Bud Doble,
Hiram Woodruff and other great
drivers, as we'll as the crowd in dis
tancing all other horses IN the race.
Miss Sanford's reading was admire
bic, and CREATED IL perfect storm OF
applause.
The forenoon session closed by Di-
rector C. d. Smith giving a descrip-
ton of the operation of the expert
ment Station and Farm School.
Privilege was given and all present
were requested to ask each speaker, us
many questions as they desired. A
good many awaited themselves of this
privilege, and in this way much valu-
able information was obtained.
The afternoon session was devoted
to dissertations on the breeding and
care of swine, by Theo. Lewis; prin-
ciples of breeding, by Geo. McKerrow;
work at the Experiment Station, by
Director G. D. Smith; how to grow
evergreens, by VIM. Somerville; the
breeding and training of horses, by
DR.. Curryer; dairy bulls, how to select
and how to keep them, by Supt. Gregg.
A cooking school was conducted by
Mrs. Hays in Satter's building on
Atlantic avenue, and was largely at
tended by farmers wives and others.
Taken as Il whole, it may be said
the institute was a grand success,
and all who attended seemed to be
we'll pleased. Nearly every town in
the county was represented.
If there were any who attended the
institute with the expectation of lis
tening to theoretical OF newspaper
farmers" they went away disappoint-
ed. The speakers were practical farm
ers of many years experience. Mr.Som-
erville has been a farmer in Minneso-
TIA for thirty years. He planted the
trees on the court house grounds and
also on the Geo. L. Becker place.
In the evening Prof. Maria i. San.
ford delivered very interesting lect-
ure at the court house. Subject: GLOW
to Make Home Happy There was
a good attendance Of Interested PEG,

At the camp fire. during the Ell

At the camp fire, during the en-
campment at St. Cloud last week, the
Minneapolis Times was duly noticed
for its recent miserable attack upon
old soldiers. The St. Cloud Journal
Press says: I'm the evening Capt. S.
NJ. Bruce, of Sank Centre, presided at
very successful camp fire. After
the band concert the captain read
from an editorial clipped from the
Democratic Minneapolis Times an
attack upon the G. A. R., which made
those who heard it justly indignant"

A patriotic newspaper in Water

That the Mckinley bill helps the
farmers is proven by the fact that the
