HE LIBELED THE IRISH.

1t has always been said that the
Irish vote is practically solid for De-
mocracy, no matter what happened,
although it has always been a mystery,
how an Irishman could come to this
country and vote with party whose
national policy is in the interests of
the nation that has for years Cypress
ed the most fertile island upon God IS
footstool. But if this is mystery, it
is equally beyond the power of human
comprehension why that party should
continue to honor man who has pro-
nounced the foulest of libels upon a
class of voters who have stood so 10y
ally by it in the years that have pas
ed, land it is utterly inconceivable how,
after the author of this libel has been
repeatedly honored by his party, and
his utterance indirectly endorsed
thereby, they can vote that ticket in
the future.
The libel in question is to be found
in a book written and published by
Robt. B. Roosevelt, in 1885, and enti-
tied Give Acres Too Much" The
extract in question can be found on
page so, and is as follows:
The inhabitants of the Emerald Isle
are certainly magnificent race, eS-
pecially when their biographer wants
| to run for alderman; and if they did
not lie, steal, cheat, rob and murder,
get drunk, perjure themselves, quarrel
and fight, they would be almost as
good as other nations.
There is no qualification about this
1t does not specify part or class,
but takes the Irish as people. The
author of this vile utterance is not
some irresponsible newspaper para
grapher, or obscure writer, but a
prominent leader of the Democratic
party, who was honored by Grover
Cleveland with an appointment as
minister to Holland, and who is now
one of the recognized leaders of De-
mocracy, and treasurer of the Nation
al Democratic Committee, to which
position he was appointed at the re-
quest of Grover Cleveland. This pub
lie recognition of Mr. Roosevelt fixes
the position Of the National Democ-
racy toward large class of voters who
have hitherto followed the fortunes
of that party. They are good men on
election day when they will help vote
it into position where it can get at
the spoils. On other days, by it's Of
fetal acts, it endorses Mr.. Roosevelt's
sentiments in regard to them. How
do the Irish-Americans like it?

THE voters of Blue Earth county
should be on the lookout for Demo-
cratic roorbachs the last day or two
of the campaign, as they are prepar-
ing in the last hours before voting to
spring the most outrageous lies. The
ReUiea0, which is not above wallowing
in any pool of filth, in fact, is the
happiest when it can go the deepest
in one, gives the intimatiOn of this
when it says that the FREE PRESS is
preparing to spring political sensa-
purpose of damage to opposing candi-
dates. 1t is always the habit of
thieves to raise the first cry of alarm
so as to attract attention from them
selves, and in the same line is the
Cry of the free trade, wildcat money
organ down the street, made to at
tract attention from the purpose of
it's leaders. There is no truth what
ever in it's assertion regarding the
springing of political sensation by
the FREE PRESS. Nothing of the
kind is being Matched in this office
nor has been thought Of. The FREE
PRESS does not believe in such polit.
ical methods and will have nothing
to do with them. 1t has not followed
such practice in the past and does
not propose to in the future. Facts
answer it's purpose far better thar
abuse and distortion of the truth
This latter mode of political warfare
we leave to those who seem to have
no higher ideal in the political arena
Again we say to the voter beware Of
the roorbach and take no stock in sto
ries circulated too late for cOnfirma
tion or denial.

VOTE 1T DOWN.

EDITOR FREE PREss--It seems to
me that our local papers should call
the voters attention to the danger in
not voting against the Second
Amendment to the constitution, the
one in regard to taxing Sleeping Car
Companies, etc.
Some of the best legal talent in the
state seem to be in doubt as to
whether this amendment. if adopted,
may not effect the per cent. tax on
gross earnings of the railroads. The
state has too good thing in this to
take any chances. The next legisla-
ture can pass an amendment to be
voted upon, which will be far better
than to hazard affecting present land.

The long advertised Democratic
rally Saturday night was slim affair.
A parade took place on n. Front
street, and by actual count eleven
torches werein line. This expedient was
deemed necessary to fill the city hall.
The meeting there was very brief and
brought to premature close by the
departure of the greater part of the
audience. An eye witness reports
that during the first fifteen minutes
one-half of those present walked out.
Poor old Democracy in Mankato has a
hard time to get up any enthusiasm.
THERE is misunderstanding upon
the part of many in regard toregister-
ing, the idea being abroad that unless
the voter is registered he cannot vote.
1t seems that this only applies to
towns of over $4,000 population. In
towns of less than $4,000 it is not nee
essary to be registered in order to vote.
The provision of the law in regard to
the matter is as follows:
"That if any person Offering to vote,
whose name is not upon said list or
register, can produce evidence which
satisfies majority of the judges that
he has the qualifications of an elector
in said district, and is entitled to vote
at such election, but whose name has
been omitted from said list or regis
ter, then the name of such person
shall be added to said lists or regis
tiers, and he shall be allowed to vote"
If for any reason you have failed to
register note carefully if this provi-
SION of the law touches your case.

Actual Organ Music Soaros.

In this list, the benefit of the doubt has
been given to the programmemaker. Az it
stands it shows that pieces written for the
organ appear on those programmes not over
67 times at the most. The 26 little pieces
one or two others to mako q single pro-
gramme number. Count them as l3 numbers
and the outside total OF real organ music is
81 numbers out of 376.
The list shows 81 different titles as printed
on the programme. OF these at least eight
are no doubt, really duplicates OF others
given with a slight change of title; so that
the entire organ repertoire drawn upon con.
sists OF Al pieces at the most. And of those,
seven is a low estimate OF those listed above
only because they might possibly be organ
pieces and must likely are not such in tact
That would reduce the number to 40.
1t is certainly within tho truth to say that
in those 81 ''organ recitals', the entire reper-
toire of actual organ music did not exceed
40 distinct pieces, making up not more than
90 out OF S78 pro gramme numbers.
Even that pitiful number OF As pieces does
not include any important representative
works. Anyone at all familiar with the
rich, varied literature of the organ, COM
prising Especially in the French school)

any fair audience, cannot but ridicule that
