PAINTING A SCREEN.
A Picturesque study, Very Effective In
Either Oils or Water Colors.

A popular study is of swans in mirror
like sheet OF water, surrounded by beauti.
ful lilies and reeds. IL will be found inter.
esting in design as well as coloring, and
painted on h large canvas in oils forms an
especially pretty screen panel. IL Is also
adapted for water colors.
To paint the study in oil colors, use
white. cobalt and a little vermilion in the
upper part OF the sky, with white and mad
der lake in the lower portion, blending
them carefully from the clear, warm pink
tones at the horizon TO the delicate blue in
the upper parts.
The water will reflect the colors OF the
sky only in a little lower or deeper tone
AID consequently the same colors that art
suggested for the sky will do also for tht

If organization is necessity, and
the newspaper Is necessary to the

reform must begin with the estab-

that newspaper must be under the

ANNUAL SESSIONS.

| The move on the part of the state
senate for annual sessions of the
4tate legislature is simply an out
hge upon decency, and we thor
Aghly believe that if the people
hive an opportunity to vote upon
THE question that it will be COM
pletely knocked out. Betterh ave
sessions once in four years, and
have them limited to sixty days. Too
many laws are enacted to plague
the people.-Albert Lea Enterprise.
That is precisely the position held
by John j. Rhodes and E. A.Saunders
and all the coal combine, from St.
Paul to Pennsylvania. That is ex-
actly the sentiment of the pine
land thieves; and the railroad rings,
and the elevator combine, and all
the trusts and plunderers from Kam
schatka to John a Gtoat's house.
When the legislature assemblies
every rogue in Minnesota trembles,
for he does not know what rascality
may be dug up, or what law may be
passed to stop his robberies of the
people. And when the gavel falls
and the legislature adjourns for
two years the day of jubilee has
come for all the plunderers of the
commonwealth, and they dance and
kick their heels in the air.
Better have sessions once in
four years." says the Albert Lea En-
terprise. Has the foolkiller ever
visited Freeborn county9 If he did
let him call again and complete his
work. If sessions two years apart
are better than sessions every year,
and sessions four years apart are
better than sessions every two
years; why would not sessions ten
years apart be better than sessions
four years apart; and no sessions at
all be still better than sessions every
ten years2 And thus Minnesota will
reach the condition of that choice
and pleasant land called Russia,
where they collect the taxes by ap-
plications of the knout to the soles
Of the bare feet Of the tax-payers;
where the farmers mix the bark
.of trees with their black

temptation to buy it, and such pa
pers may be safely left in the hands
of individuals; although the last
campaign revealed the fact that the
current price for Populist county
newspapers was 5000 each; for the
editor of one Populist party paper,
in Polk county, betrayed theerascals
who tried to buy him, and handed
over 800 of the purchase money, re-
ceived by him, to the state central
committee of the Peoples party, and
swore that they told him they had
bought up other papers at 5000 or
more.
Now the people themselves are
the victims of all this corruption.
The money is paid so that the plum
der of the people may continue.
That is all there is of it. If those
who are trying to defend the people
are bought up or driven out; the
robbery will continue and in
crease. And as this is the peo-
ple's fight, the people should
ask themselves the question whether
it will not pay to spend few dol
lars of their money to save all the
rest? Whether they should not make
some sacrifices to protect not only
themselves but their posterity--the
endless generations that are to
come after them9

ever earnest or intelligent. One

assemble to make laws more than
once in four years; or once in ten
years or not at all. And every
bowling jackal of the press has been
busy ever since laboring to disgust
the people with self-government,
and prepare the way for the day
when it could be safely abolished,
and despotism substituted in its
place.
But it costs something's! OF course
1t costs something. 1t costs some
thing to be free men and notslaves.
Slaves pay no taxes, but who is
there that is not an idiot that would
willingly give up liberty and become
slave to escape taxation9 1t costs
something to live. A fellow once
committed suicide, and he gave as
his reason that he had got tired of
paying his board bill! He must
have been brother of that Albert
Lea editor.
But what would an annual ses-
sion of eighty days cost more than
a session of ninety days i'm two
years? Why about $50, 900 or $35, 900
year. Horrible! Most horrible,
to ask the people to spend that
amount for the luxury of annual ses-
sions! Think of it! We have about
1900, 900 people in the state, and
annual sessions would cost each one
APIECE EVERY YEAR, more than bien-
NAL sessions cost them now. Oh,
yes; and think. how much the coal
com bine. with it's $4,000, 900 of an
nual robbery of the people, would
give the bowling dervishes of the
country press, like this Albert. Lea
phenomenon, if they could persuade
the voters to amend the constitu-
tion and hold sessions once in four
years. Let us figure upon it. Near
ly 1000, 900 tons of coal enter the
state every year. A steal of So
ton is equal to $4,000. 900; for four
years that is SIG, 900, 900. But the
people would save S35, 900 year for
four years, or $40. 600; deduct this
from the coal combines profits of
SIG, 0OO,OO and the combine is
ahead and the people behind $15,-
$50, 600. Great is economy!
And then read the report of the
pine land frauds, in another column,
and ask yourselves whether it would
not be money in the pockets of the
citizens to hold annual sessions.
Tens of millions Of dollars stolen by
the rings from the school fund and
other funds, and then the knaves
come up and say to the people:
"You had better go home, my
friends, and let the stealing con-
tinue. 1t will cost you $35, 900 a
year to stop it and save these mil
lions. Liberty is expensive. Go
home and go to bed, and pull the
clothes over your heads. The
rogues will run the state and won't
charge you a cent-but they won't
leave anything when they get
through. Get out! Self-govern-
ment is a failure; legislation an
outrage supon decency; the laws
''plague the people,; Tom Jefferson
was fool and George Washington
an idiot; cut your throats and save
your board bills. The Albert Lea
philosopher will furnish the razor,
and take charge of the small change
left in the pockets of the corpse" !
