a SPIRITU UALISTIC FRAUD.
That is Just what Dr.. Sladein hissSittings
in this City Proved to be.
His Slate Writing Feats We're Impositions
Of The Plainest Character.

On Thursday of last week DR.. Slade, a
slate writer and professed spiritualistlc
medium of considerable celebrity, paid a
visit to our city and held seances, at
the rate of So a seance, in the parlors OF
the Union Hotel DIR. Slade has estab-
lished a reputation as one Of the leading
mediums of the country, and naturally
many of our citizens were tempted to
paw him a visit and go through the. Or
deal of losing dollar and a half on an
o.her mans game Led on by an i'm
pulseito either be roped in completely.
or else to learn how the slate writing
was done, the writer in company with
another gentleman, visited the conmun-
icant between this and the other world.
and sat before him ready to learn, but
at the same time prepared to examine.
What We saw was far from being salts
factory or convincing. When we hinted
that the rapping on the slate was done
with the. use Of his fingers, he evaded a
direct answer and the power seemed TO
leave him. Al any rate there was no
more rapping as long as the writer's
ewes were on the mediums fingers
Again, when we inferred that he did the
writing on the states while trying to
distract our attention, and that the
writing which followed later on and
was supposed to be that Of spirits was
only the scratching of his finger on the
back Of the slate, he denied It, OF
course, but we knew that our eyes and
ears had not deceived us. Once we
leaned over the table and watched him
closely and then the writing ceased.
The answers were always Of a general
character, capable Of being applied to
anything and everything. For instance ms l
the question was asked, when was l
born?'' The answer came sat home
Another question was, .sWhere is my
mother now2'' To this, after the medi-
um had turned the slate and read the
question, the answer was simply that she
wasn't present. And SO it was all the
way through. If you became charmed q
by the mediums magnetism and believed
everything he said the results would be
satisfactory and you could pay the fee
without wincing But if you kept awake
and believed only what was evident, you
obtained no results. Then the power
would leave him, and you would &C
away disappointed.
A comparison Of the writing on the
states and that of the medium showed q
perfect resemblance and everything com
bined to prove him monumental FRAUD
with an unlimited amount of cheek.

Protection Constitutional.

y
In the Democratic platform adopted
at Chicago this year there is a denuncia-
ton Of the protection tariff as being un-
3constit itutional. In overhauling this state
iment in a public speech the other day
Gov. VIM. Mckinley spoke as follows:
Protection unconstitutio A poll
scy which is as old as the government
policy which commenced with the gov
sernment a policy which was recognized
in the second act ever passed by tile
congress Of the United States, bysa con-
gress partiicip ipated in by many Of: the
trainers Of the constii tuition, fresh from
the reparation and promulg CATION of
that great instrument. That congress
passed a law in 1889, the. preamble Of.
which declared it to be:
For the support Of the government
for the discharge Of the debts Of the
United States, and for the couragment.
and protection of manufactur
That law was passed by a unanimous
vote in the senate Of the United States,
and by d majority of five to one in the
house Of repre- resentatives, was reported
|by Mr.. Madison, who was afterWard
president Of the United States, and was
approved by George Washington.
If it is in Violate of any constitution
tits not that Of the United States. It is
la manifest violation of the constitution
of the Confederate States. Possibly that
is what they mean. Happily for us, how
lever, we don't recognize that instrument
and never did and we are not operat-
ing under it. It went down before the
resistless armies Of the Union, command
led BY Grant and Sherman and the consti-
ton Of Washington and Lincoln was
Sustained, which, from its birth time un-
til now, has recognized and justified the
principle Of q protective tariff. Hamil-
ton and Madison, Jefferson and Calhoun,
| Clay and Webster, Adams and jackson
always asserted and main ntained the con-
Istituti ionality Of protection.

A Few Hints for the Pest.

Seidlitz powders would have ahealthful
effect upon the editor Of the Post.
To prove that the transfer of paper
IS public business, it is only necessary to
consider the subscription list. When
you.sell that you barter away the good
will of hundreds Of your friends.
It is only tnose conscious of wrong
doing doing who become vulgar and insulting
when their conduct is taken to task.
Expose man in an unmanly act and
he is almost sure to get mad. and call
YOU fool for your trouble.
Editor strasser apologies for his article
regarding the editor Of this paperby say
ing ing that be was compelled to do some
thing in defense of Mr.. Bogen. That's
a confession of weakness that even as
big big a fool as the REyIFw man wouldn't
make.
Editor strasser in apologyzing for his
ese 1t.St NCth ttllSl LES
neglect Of the FortschIiittft gave the excuse
that he considered the REVIEW a paper
of standing. Then how does ATr. stras-
ser reconcile this with the view held by
the seurrilous Post article that the editor
Of the REVIEW was a fool who actually
knew little or nothinga
We are surprised that the Post editor
can find no better argument in favor of
its proprietors' mistakes than to stoopto
a shameful and vulgar attack upon some
one who endeavors to point them out
for public inspec ton. Among newspa-
per men such conduct is so small that
Lick telescope would be required to fer
ret out the redeeming features. Unless
the Post, therefore, can accustom itself
Ito common decency we will prefer in the
future to ignore it entirely

The 81. Peter Herald Reviews the situa-
ton in Nieollet County. s.

s
The Herald 8of last week contained an
article on county politics which may
prove Interesting to people living on
the Nicollet side OF the river It was as
follows
The political pot will soon commence
to boil 50 far as local politics are cor,-
.eerned. The republ blicans will hold their
convention on the tenth of September,
when the old officers will in all proba-
bility be nominated, at least we have
heard of but few names aside Of those

tive and judge Of probate. For repre-
sentative we have heard the names Of
Sven SWenson, w. j. Bean, b. s. Petit TIL
john and Joseph Peterson. of these M Il.
.Swenson is, we aretold, ON active candi
date and that his friends will ash the
nomination for him. For Judge soff
probate there are many who feel that
Judge Peterson, having served twenty
years, has had about enough. But We
doubt not that the irrepressible Judge
will again be the nominee as he seems
to own the Office and there seems to be-

to ask fforsit No candle late has yet APP

DR. "A. A. AMOS Is WANTED.
The Police Of this City Received Notice
Yesterday to be on the Lookout for him.

~
Yesterday morning, Marshal Zieher
received notice from the Mankato de-
partment to be on the lookout for DR.. A.
sA. Amos, who is badly wanted by credi-
tors. The marshal followed the
instructions and made some investigation,
but found that the missing doctor had
not visited New Ulm.
A new postal money order will soon
go into use. The system has been re-
yised SO that there IS little or no com-
plication, and at the same time it is
good way to send money. A sheet call
ing for amounts from one cent to three
dollars has been prepared, which on
payment Of one cent and the amount to
be sent, will be torn off about the same
as an express order. There will be no
writing on It by the postmaster, the send
er endorsing il as check or draft.
The government guarantees its safe trans
portation. II is thought that the new
system win be extensively used BY the
lsenders Of small amounts.

The Dismal FIGURES

There could be no more striking illus-
tration of the folly of the irrespo ponsibld
Democrats in the Fiifty-second House
than is afforded by Mr.. Hollnan's att
tempt to defend the record of the maj
jority in the matter Of appropri ations.
To make a showing Of reductio on and
retrenchment in the total for the session,
Mr.. Holman is obliged to compare that
total with the figures for the second SEES
sion of that Billion Congress, instead of
the figures for the first session, whele
the comparison properly belongs. Whit
the Fifty second congress will do at its
second session no human being can fore-
tell. A material reduction from the to-
tai of its first session is rather the subjeAt
of hope than of prediction. But At At
remains true, every thing being consid-
erred, that the record Of the Democratic
House IN the matter Of approp ationslis
a betrayal Of the voters who elected it pn
the issue Of economy, a reputation of
its own professions and promises, and a
shame and disgrace to the party:
Already the attempt has begun to eA-
plain and excuse and extenuate the fail
ure Of the overWhe elmingly Demo ocratic
maj jority in the present House to fulill
its mission. This course is regarded as
good camp policy. We do not think
so. We believe that it IS good camp aign
policy to state the facts exactly as they
are, to held Democratic sinners to tlieil
full measure Of resp ponsibllity, and to Ise-
cure, if possible, . DEM ocratic maj oriity

War Among Circuses.

The other day, it will be remembered.
q representative Of the Sells Brothers
circus distributed bills about town de-
nouncing the Sells 81 Rentfrcw circus as
d mammoth fraud. This has led to
determined action on the part of the esac-
cused as the following special sent from
WatertoWns on Monday will indicate:
The arrest to-day of George D. Stone
burner goes to show that rival circus
aggregatinns do not always dwell in #har-
mony. Sells Is Rentfrow's circus is
billed to show here Wednesday, Sept. 4,
their advertising car having passed
through town only a few days ago. To-
day Stoneburner, acting as agent for the
Sells Brothers, came upon the scene. He.
either distributed or caused to be elistri-
buted, literature denouncing Sells q
Rentfrow as frauds, etc. This, it appears
has been done elsewhere by Sells Bros.
OF their agents. Willie Sells of Sells &.
Rentfrow, concluded things had gone far
enough. So he came to Watertown a
few days ago, took legal advice and then
set to work to catch the enemy. He.
went to Brookings to watch fol his man
and left an agent in this city. Stone
burner was arrested at the depot, where
he was awaiting the departure ofsa train
for the West. The trial was postponed
till Monday 70 await the presence Of
Willie Sells. Meanwhile stoneburner
walks the streets under $3.50 bonds.
