THE OLD SOLDIERS.
Washington, May 30, 1892.

To the Editor of the VindicdtOr, VALLEY Falls.
The writer of the above certainly owns
an immense quantity of mislnformation,
unlimited gall, or a prediction towards
Regeneration hard to beat.
The Peoples party county central
committee of LeavenWorth county, two
from each township and ward, are all ex-
union soldiers except four; all Alliance
men except three; all ex-Republicans ex-
cept seven. The chairman of the COM
mittee is an x-Unlon soldier, ex-Repub-
liCan and an Alliance man. The presi-
dent and secretary Of the last county
convention are In the same list. The
working force of the largest Alliances in
the county is largely made up Of the ex-
Republican, ex-soldjer element.
In Jefferson county the same state of
affairs exists, only to greater extent.
In many of their Alliances, soldiers and
ex-RepubliCans are 3 majority of the
working members, and their county AL
liances almost always partake of the ma
ture of soldiers reunions.
In the great southwestern counties, 1t
is certainly safe to assert that at least
two-thirds of the voters In the Alliance
were Union soldiers and more than half
of these were Republicans,
The writer knows personally of three
present post commanders of Crane Ar
my posts, who are Alliance presidents.
The comrade who induced General
Grant to join his Grand Army post in
Philadelphia, and who introduced the
custom of holding soldiers reunions un-
der the name of "Grsnd Army Day." is
member of Round Grove Alliance No.

"HONEST JOHN"
V1nce.
'gresslve Farmer.

From the Progressive Farmer,
Thirty years ago Senator Sherman, Of
Ohio, was nominated for Congress. He
was so poor that he had to mortgage his
home to get funds to carry on his cam.
paign. At $4,000 year, his salary for
thirty years would amount to only $780,
900; but his check is good for several
millions anywhere. Now it takes good
deal of economy to raise, educate, feed
and clothe family for thirty years on
$15OOOO and save several million dollars
out Of It, "Honest John" says, "You
can't legislate money into a mans
pocket" Sherman is not the only poor
fellow who has become rich in this way.
That is the reason legislation is all
against the masses.

NO POOR MAN NEED APPLY.

Minneapolis, in place Of Mr.. Harrison.
In speaking of the above incident, a
witty Republican, who is not burdened
with this worlds goods, but who has
done much for his party, remarked,
laughingly, in the presence of the writer:
81 have thought for long time that
there was. something peculiar about Mr..
Blaine's eyesight, as he never seems
able; now, to see any man who Is not a
millionaire"
This comment has much truth in it.
1t Is almost impossible for any man who
is not rich to obtain any decent appoint
ment in the state department. The
former leaders of the party, men who
have largely been the means of building
up and sustaining the Republican party
In various parts of the country, are sys-
tematicslly overlooked, and appoint
ments given continually, in the diplo-
matte service, to men who have never
been heard of, except as the possessors
of large fortunes.
Not long ago Hon. Mark Dunnell, OF
Minnesota, applied for the appointment
of consul to Glasgow. Mr.. Dunnell has
been in Congress for a number of terms,
and has always been a consistent friend
of the working people, and man who,
as John Brown put 1t, has been "tOO
busy" serving his fellow men, "to amasS
a fortune" None of the applicants for
the position could have had greater
claim on the consideration of Mr.. Blaine
than Mr.. Dunnell, but the place was
given to man from New York, of whom
the country at large knew nothing, but
whose ample fortune covered, in the
eyes of the administration, all other de-
ticiencles. We do not personally know
Mr.. Dunnell, but being familiar with
his public record, consider the above ap-
pOintment, under the circumstances,
disgrace to the state department.
A similar appointment was that OF
Allen Thorndyke Rice to be minister to
Russia. Mr.. Rice was young man, and
had done nothing to distinguish him
self, except buy, or Inherit forget
which the North American ReUieW,
which he did not have sense enough to
edit; so he employed James Redpsth to
do 1t for him, paying bim a small salary.
Redpath managed the ReUiel1 with con-
summate ability, and made it the fore
most magazine in the land; but he got
little credit for this, Mr.. Rice reaping
the glory. When Mr.. Redpath got sick
he was dismissed from his place on the
ReOiel1, but on the strength Of the repu-
tation he had made for the North Ameri-
can, and because Allen Thorndyke Rice
was man of large means, Mr.. Rice was
sent as minister to Russia. He did not,
however, enjoy his undeserved honors
long, and joined the "great majority"
shortly after his appointment. His
death was no loss to the country he rep
resented abroad. James Redpath was
different character, man Of great soul
and splendid ability, generous, true
hearted crusader of freedom" Har-
raSsed by disappointments, he never re-
covered from an illness brought on by
overwork IN the service of the uuappre-
ciative young millionaire. Mr.. Red
paths death was great public loss, and
his place will not soon be filled in the
ranks of philanthropic journalism.
In line with the above appointments,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1892-10-13

The Prohibition convention at Wal
nut Grovelast Thursday accomplished
just what the GAZETTE anticipated in
it's last issue of that day, namely, leav-
ing vacant all Offices filed by the
Denis and Pops, and filing Offices
left vacant by those two parties, ac-
cording to the articles of agreement
entered into by representatives of the
three parties on Sept. Sd, as made
public by T. L. Gilbert at the Pop
convention. The Offices left vacant
were register of deeds, court commits
sioner, county attorney and commits
sioner in the Sd district. The Walnut
convention nominated Geo. A. Scott, a
Walnut butcher, for register, J. P.
Jones for court commissioner, J. II.
Bowers for county attorney and o. A.
Mason for commissioner in the Sd dis
trict.
Mr.. Bowers has declined the coun-
ty attorney nomination, on the ground
that he has been before one tribunal,
and having been defeated, does not
care to enter the race again this year
The Redwood delegates were all
opposed to fusion, in the strict sense
of the word, but they were in favor of
leaving Offices vacant filed by the
Dems and Pops.

Flora Walton, the latter three being
absent, last Saturday evening. Mrs.
Robinson wore a cream null reception
gown with pink ribbon trimmings,and
was assisted by Mrs D. J. Laird, in a
pink gown. Nearly all of the guests
wore pink in some form; pink pre-
dominated in the reception room; the
table was decorated in pink, and on
the centre of it was a candied pink
hen. Bunches of smilax adorned the
end of the table, and at each plate a
handsome pink bouttonaire was found
by the guests as they sat down to a
most delectable lunch. Mrs. Laird
poured the tea from a dainty pot. 1t
was late ere the old students present
babe farewell with the compliment of
the affair being an unusually success
fnl one.

were returned today. The continued
and unaccountable absence of Secretary

President Billings Of the gas trust seems
to be acting as a decided hamper to the
prosecution. The political aspect Of the
matter is also attracting attention and
operating apparently more or less as Il

painful impression has been caused in

that policy. The United States would
have to increase it's wool product 30 per
cent to furnish the necessary quantity of
wool for its people. But after it has
done that there would still be lacking
many kinds Of wool which the manufac-
turer must have. The peculiar qualities
which commend certain grades Of Aus
tralian wool to him are due to the eli
mate and soil of Australia. No Ameri-
can fleece can have them. That is true
of Saxon, Argentine and other woods.
They can no more be produced here than
can cotton like the Egyptian staple.
Hence to give the manufacturer free ac-
cess to all sorts of wool is to rob the
American wool.grower of nothing, but
rather to increase the demand for and
the price Of his product, because more
wOolen goods will be made in the United
States and a smaller quantity of foreign
made ones will be imported
