NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
the Democratic party pretends to be
the party Of the people, and the only
organized body in the country that
will protect their, interests, it always
treats their rights with contempt
whenever and wherever it is in pow
er. This is illustrated by it's course
under the hand of Senator Hill in
New York, and later by it's course in
Wisconsin as regards the gerrymander
question. A year ago last winter
that party forced one Of the most
outrageous gerrymanders imaginable
upon the people of that state, and eX-
pected to profit by their disregard Of
the peoples rights. but the matter
was taken into the courts and set one
side as unconstitutional. Last week
the legislature was called in special
session to correct it's work. 1t would
be natural to suppose that that body
after having it's work once set
aside as being of most questiona-
BILE nature, would be somewhat care
full how it adjusted it in the future,
but the reports of its work show
that it paid no heed to the reprimand
administered by the court, and the
new apportionment is said to be near
ly as outrageous in it's treatment of
the rights of the people as were the
provisions Of the one set aside, and
the probability is that the matter
will again be taken into court. The
actions of the Democratic party
when compared with it's assertions
prove it to be greatest old humbug
upon the face of the earth.

Not % Desirable Business.

occasionally" said retired bur-
glar, "a man transfers to himself in
a single night the accommodations OF
another mans lifetime, but these in.
stances are very rare, and nothing
could be further from the truth than
the idea that burglary is a quick and
easy road to wealth. The fact is
that the great majority of burglars
make but scant living, and to make
even that they must encounter many
difficulties and dangers. The bur
glars reward, whatever it may be-
is never commensurate to the risks
he takes.
II have myself acquired some
property, but if I had my life to live
over again I should choose some
other occupation than burglary. In
deed, when you come to consider the
inconvenient hours and the genera
worry and uncertainty of that bust
ness, the wonder is that anybody
should ever go into it; if a man is al
all inclined to be sensitive he should
certainly keep out of it. New Or

VARIOUS OPINIONS.

Winona Leader: The Republican
party favors the circulation of the
largest quantity of gold and silver
that can be kept at par, but not the
coinage of a silver dollar under con-
ditiOnS that will make it worth less
than 100 cents.
Jackson Republic: And now comes
the charge that Maj. Gen. Adlai Ste
venson was member of the Knights
of the Golden Circle in Illinois during
the war, and aided and abetted the
rebels. Well, what of it? Cleve-
lands substitute fought for the I'm
ion, so that averages it.
Winnebago City Press NeoUs: A wo-
man assaulted the Hon. w. e. Glad
stone at Chester, England, one day
last week and skinned his nose with
a large piece of ginger bread. This
is the reward of the grand old man
for opposing woman's rights, we sup
pose.

farmers mortgage their farms for the
sake of buying the adjoining quar-
tiers. Is there any hardship in that?
Do such mortgages indicate poverty

HIS NERVE FAILED.

The River Yawned, but He Decided to
Delay Self Destruction.
Smarting under the singing words
addressed to him by the naughty
aristocrat, the young man rushed
from the house. He nobody, am
upstart, indeed! A mercenary lover!
And she had stood by and heard it
all with an amused smile playing
about her finely chiseled lips and a
look in her eyes that would burn
into his soul forever. 1t was too ter
rible.
She was lost to him. All was lost
Life had no pleasure left for him.
Nothing remained but dreary des-
ert, dead level of misery; nothing
but life of loneliness and-ah! he
had not thought of that before! The
riverl The river which had quenched
so many sorrowsl The river which
had borne away on its black bosom
SO many hopeless ones!
There was CLEAN of fierce deter
mination in his eyes; his step de-
noted a purpose from which nothing
could turn him. He walked rapidly,
several friends nodded, but he did
not see them. On, on toward the
river. 1t would receive him cordial
ly. It would open its great arms to
him. 1t would not question his mo-
tives. Calm, beautiful, peaceful,
river. 1t would be a true friend.
No, he would leave no message for
her. She had thought him false.
No last word should comfort her.
They would find his body floating in
the harbor. She would hear of it.
She would understand.
He laughed a wild, hoarse laugh
that made a shivering beggar draw
back and forget to ply his trade.
He was growing weary, his brain
was in whirl. The river was still
far away. He boarded car going
toward the ferry.
ooh, Mr.. Jones, you're the very
person I wanted to see," called a
sweet voice as he entered
He scarcely heard it.
''Do please come up tomorrow
night. We are going to get up some
theatricals, and you're so clever at
those things Please come"
He said he expected to be out of
the city.
''Well, then, come the next night"
He was to be gone long time.
She was very sorry. If anything
happened that he didn't go, he must
help her.
ooh, certainly" and he laughed
again that same wild laugh.
But he called the next ght.-De-
troit Tribune.

When Labouchere Travelled.

Of the many stories told by Henry
Labouchere one of the best is of his
journey from Dresden to CONSTANT
nople, which he quotes as illustrating
the niggardliness which rules at the
foreign Office in some matters. The
young attache not putting in an ap
pearance at Constantinople at the
appointed period, formal inquiry was
made as to the reason of the delay
After much trouble and considerable
expense the missive reached his
hand, and in due course a letter ar
rived at the foreign Office stating thai
inadequate provision had been made
for his travelling expenses, and that
as his private means were limited

THEIR CRY NOT JUSTIFIED.

The cry of Donnelly and his calam-
ity associates is that the county is 60
ing to ruin with lightning rapidity.
Now country that is going to ruin
ought to show decrease in business
and have a general air of depression
all around. But such indications are
not to be found. Everywhere there
is an air of prosperity that has not
been noted in years. r. G. Dun &
Co. in summarizing the business for
the year ending June so, says: '"The
fiscal year was never matched in the
whole history of the country, in the
volume of industrial production, in
magnitude of domestic exchange or in
foreign trade, has just closed" Both
our imports and exports show con-
siderable increase over those of the
years previous. Railroad earnings for
the whole year were the largest ever
known, while the number of failures
were considerably less, the aggregate
liabilities being S62 900, 0O0against S92,-

manufacturing establishments have
been increased, the country was
blessed last year with excellent crops,

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

A Republican convention for the State of Min
nesoto will be held ON Thursday, the 2Sth day
of July, 1892, in the Grand opera house. in the
city of st, Paul, at IL O'Clock a. M, for the
purpose OF placing in nomination candidates
for the following offices: Governor, lieutenant
governor secretary of state, treasurer, attor-
ney general three associate justices of the SUI
preme court, and for the transaction of such
other business as may properly come before the
convention.
All voters, without regard to past political
affiliations, who believe in the principles of the
Republican party, and who desire its success in
the present campaign, are invited to participate
in the selection of delegates to this convention,
The following resolutions were UNANIMOUSLY
adopted by the state committee:
Resolved. That each county be entitled to one
delegate for each 500 votes cast for the Repub-
lican candidate for president in 1888, and one
delegate for each fraction thereof over 100.

satisfactory. There is no Indication
of ruin in all this. The increase OF
business denotes an increase in labor,
and this means more general prosper
ity and contentment. Strange it is,
indeed, if the song of the calamity
bowler is true. that the people of the
old world, who are coming here by
thousands, have not found it out, but
should Jump from the frying pan in
to the fire. They say,they come here
to better their condition, and the
history of the past few years is proof
that those coming here have done so.
The facts show the calamityite to be
fully as much of a theorist as the
free trader is

REQUISITE for a Peaceful Death.

DUBUQUE, Ia, July ga strange
case of restitution occurred at the
Dubuque county bank. Aug. 1, 1878,
the teller of the bank found his accounts
short $500. The bank officials studied
over the matter vainly for some time
and the shortage was charged to profit
and loss. The other day man stepped
into the bank and paid the missing $500.
He had been commissioned to do so by
the request of an old and re
spected resident of the city who
who died recently. With his last breath
he told his children to pay the money
which had been paid to him by mis-
take of the teller. He said he could not
face his Maker until he had made resti

Notoriety and Literature.

Notoriety is in England so much
considered a pass to commercial sue
cess in authorship that if man (who
might never have tried his hand at
literature before) could manage to
stand on his head on the point of
Cleopatra's needle for say twenty
four consecutive hours, he would
very probably be asked to write for
some of the most important maya
zines, and as probably would receive
offers from enterprising publishers of
books.
In America he would be asked 70
undertake a series of lectures. In
France, however, the best he could
hope for would be an engagement
either as waiter in some brasserie OF
cafe, or as a number" in the pro.
gramme of the Folies-Bergeres. Lit
erature in France is considered as
much a meter, requiring training
and apprenticeship, as the craft OF
the locksmith or the ieweler.

THE MASS MEETING"

The straight-out Alliance mass
meeting advertised for Saturday was
a good deal of farce.
The meeting was composed of the fol-
lowing seven men: L. S. Foster, A.
T. Foster, G.. Ballard, J. III. Baker,
VIM. McMahill, M. T. Comstock and
John Diamond. These assembled at
Hughes & Comstock's law Office, and
held a semi-secret session, in the
course of which Gen. Baker, Frank
Griffin, A. T. Foster, M. T. Comstock
and Geo. w. Haigh were elected
delegates to the state convention July
It'll.
A resolution was adopted endorsing
the Good Thunder Herald as the only
true Alliance organ in the county.
d. A. Thayer dropped in and some
one moved that he be requested to de-
part, but this action was kin ly with
held. When the reporters came
around for the points on the meeting
they found every mouth closed as
tight as miser's fist, and.no informa-
tion was given down, for some reason
best known to those present. How
ever, nothing was done but what is
stated above.
This SO called mass meeting was
held at about two o'clock this after
noon, and proves conclusively that
there is little of the old Alliance
left, the Peoples party having swal-
lowed the greater part of it.

I take to be one of the greatest foes

When "Pickwick" Was Publish ed

The coming out of the ''Pickwick"
numbers was a recurrent fact to
which families looked hourly for
ward. Judges read them while jul
ries were celebrating, and doctors
between their visits to patients. And
Carlyle told Forster of clergyman
who, as he left the room of a sick
person to whom he had been minis
tering, heard him say, "Well, thank
God, 'Pickwick' will be out in ten
days anyway!"-London Spectator.
