A NORWEGIAN LEGEND.
A Mountain That Was Once a Hat and
Adorned a Giant.

Adorned a Giant.
Thorghatten, the famous Norwegian
mountain has hole extending entire
ly through it from one side to the
other According to a Norwegian
legend this same Mount Thorghatten
was once hat and belonged to one
Thorg, hence the name Torghatten.
1t seems that in the mythical ages a
giant and giantess fell violently in
love with each other. They were
forced apart for a time. but vowed
future Soon after the 6cnie woman
pledged her troth to another. This
angered her giant lover to a degree
unknown to modern men of smaller
stature. He was 20 miles from her
when the elfs brought the news, but
selecting good arrow he shot it in
her direction. Now it happened that
her brother, Thorg, was standing in
direct line of the arrows flight. It
went through his hat and skull kill
him instantly, and he fell harmless at
the feet of the faithless giantess. She
had the power of turning all objects
into stone, and forthwith willed that
her brothers hat become a stone mon
ument to the tragedy. The cruel
lover was turned to stone where he
sat astride his horse at Hestmando and
the giantess herself petrifed at Leci1o.
The two latter objects have disap-
peared, but Thorg's hat Thorghatten)
is still the object of many curious pill

Importance, it is the duty OF the

There are certain things which are
always of paramount Importance -
life, liberty and the pursuit OF hap
piness are among these. Anything
that effects life and liberty should

reasonable anarchy propogated by
men who know little or nothing of

Anarchy and injustice are near rela-
tives. If anarchy had its way, you
and would be no more sure of our
rights than if we lived in Russia
where despots rule. 1t opposes indi-
vidual rights, not proposes them;
for under the rules of anarchy no
man would be safe. The christian
citizen will abhor that which is evil,
as we'll as cleave to that which is
good.
Support and make good govern
ment, for government gives security
to citizenship. Vote for principles
rather than party, but stand by a
party devoted to principles until the

The Monitor doesn't expect nor
doesn't wish to dictate the nomina-
tions to be made by any party's legis-
latiye convention next year, but we
feel that it is duty owed to the gen
eral public to suggest that the candi-
dates named by all the conventions
be pledged to vote against any state
capitol jobbery bill. We are pleased
to record that the three representa-
tives from this district at the last
session opposed the bill creating a
commission which has so wofully be-
trayed the interests of the people
throughout the state, all in the inter
ests of coterie Of St. Paul real estate
owners. The Monitor believes that
inside of few years the state will
need a new capitol, but this paper is
strongly opposed to the use of over
one-eighth of the sum provided for
the purchase of site when the
ground could have been obtained for
nothing. $256,OOO is no small sum,
and is practically throwing it away,
the commission has abused every
interest outside of two mile
circle in the city of st. Paul. The
Monitor is more than pleased to
state that the representatives from
this district were not parties to the
job, and we hope that their success
Ors, whoever they may be, will be
equally loyal to the interests of thei
constituents. Give us a now capitol

be obtained for nothing.-Bensor

THE CEiISTIAN CITIZEN.---WHO
IS HE?
By WILLIAM GEORGE TRowER.

What then are the duties of such
citizen? He is to do what is within
his power to punish and drive out
what is contrary to the christian
standard of justice. That this stand
ard which Christ gave us on the
mount, in that wonderful sermon,
should be the only standard by which
actions should be Judged, be it per-
sonal Or political.
AS long as we divorce christianity
from politics will we have political
corruption. Just as soon as we rec
ognize that there is quite as much
wrong in buying vote as robbing a
bank; in decreasing an evil, thus Civ
ing our christian sanction as a par
ticipant to this doctrine, there Will be
change for tho better in our pol
itics. The sermon on the mount rec
ognizes no difference between great
and small evils. The principles i'll
volved and violated.
In order to perform the christian
duties with comprehension, it is nee
essary, first, that he give attention to
what is for the best interests of the
people. Second, that he study the
methods by which these are to be
brought about. Third, that he shall
not try to avoid any duty thrust upon
him; not leaving to any person or
party the place their own thought
or conscience ought to occupy. It is
SO natural for men to delegate the
power of choice to others. While we
have right, and indeed it is our
privilege to trust our fellow men, yet
we should inquire into the principles
and motives of their adoption. Let
every man act for himself; think for
himself; vote as his own conscience
dictates.
A primary duty of the christian
citizen is to determine to what party
he will give his support. This is
very essential, for outside of party
organization he is weak. A grain
Of sand by itself is of i;ttle force, but
with others it becomes a stone that
can crash window pane. If he acts
with party he is part of a force.
This is necessary too-that the party
organization, the management of a
campaign should not fall into inca
pable or. unworthy hands. It is the
duty of a christian citizen, not only
to support the party, but to see TO it
that it remains clean and honest in
it's methods. When this is not SO it
| is plain that some citizens have failed
N the performance of their duty.
Let him control the caucuses, let him
try to make such party All exponent
of brotherhood. His duty to the
party does not change until it's prin-
ciples change, or ne changes his opin-
ion; or because the candidates are
improper nominees. He ought to
look into the character of the party
candidates. If his character is not
good, the citizen is released from all
obligation to support him, This ap-
plies, too, regarding the incapability
of candidate. 1t is an implied con-
tract between citizen and party that
fit and capable men should be nom
mated for Office. While this is i'm
portant, the citizen should give his
first attention to principles. The
party platform should be the first
study of his political curriculum.

OaCial Paper Of County and Village.

One of the best things in the late
election, was the victory of Judge
Gary in Chicago. The Judge is a
democrat, but through the influence
of Governor Altgeid, and other an
archists, he was shut out of the dem
ocratic caucus. The republicans
then nominated him, and all decent
democrats turned in and helped to
elect him. This is a merited rebuke
to Altgold and anarchy. Another
deserved defeat was sustained in New
Jersy, where the democracy fostered
the pernicious race track gambling.
Wherever a party does wrong it
ought to be defeated; these defeats
show that no party is greater than
