TO "MY FRIEND, MR.. GREEN" ETC

Mr.. 5. s. Sickle Writes a Caustic Letter
of Correction.
my Friend, Mr.. Greene" has not
been fortunate enough to- secure an
endorsement of his political views
from Mr.. S. S. Sickle. The latter
gentlemen writes to the editor that
Mr.. Greene. in believing SO, is labor
ing under serious misrepresentation,
and in a personal letter, states that
he entertains high respect for the
Father of Democracy" whom he
would like to see recognized by Pres
ident Cleveland, but IN a letter for
publication, he says:
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Feb. 8, 1898.
Ed. GAZETTE: In your issue of
Feb. I'd, l notice a short article con-
Meeting my name with Mr.. G. P.
Greene's, in which article the idea is
conveyed, that l have adopted the po-
litical ideas of Mr.. Greene. Mr.. Hub
bard evidently misunderstood what l
wished to have him say. I wished to
convey to Mr.. Green my congratula-
tions on the fact of his having been
SO far in advance of the Populists
and Greenbackers, along with the
other disgruntled politicians in his
political ideas. Not that had adopt
ed them, which I have not. But then
oratory in this state and city during
the last campaign advanced ideas
and theories which they claimed as
original, that were old stories with
Mr.. Green ten years'ag AS to wheth-
er their ideas were signs of learning
or wisdom, leave to your readers to
Judge. And now that l have got in
the political pool will give a short
history of some of the doings in this
State.
In the last election the Populists
elected some ten or fifteen members
to the Legislature and fairly had the
balance of power. On the first ballot

y knocked it out. The Judge smiled

(?) knocked it out. The Judge smiled
benignly and repaired it again. Then
he insisted on leaving the house. Put
ting on his overcoat and cap he start
ed, but ere he got outside wagon
load of jolly vets and their wives
drove up, and contaminated the sur
prise. Judge French was not himself
for several moments.
Prior to the refreshments served by
Mrs. French, social time was in
dulged in. The Judge played several
lively tunes on the violin and thereby
surprised everybody Following re-
freshments Mrs. L. n. Rowe, on be-
half of the comrades and their wives,
presented Mr.. French with hand
some tobacco set, surmounted with an
active figure and box of cigars,
reading the following poem of her
own composition as the presentation
speech:
Dear Comrade! with this tribute small
Accept the friendship of us all.
This figure which you ha We in view
Perchance has been a soldier. too,
Who now the patriots work is done
Enjoys the place SO nobly won.
And sits him down at close of day
To smoke his pipe and while away
With calm content, the happy hour
And music, with it's soothing power
Makes him forget the happy cares of life
The tolls, the burdens and the strife.
So may you glide life's stream along
With happy thoughts and merry song.
And when you are mustered out, my friend
Enjoy rich pleasures without end.
Following this Mrs. French and
George presented the surprised with
a handsome solitaire diamond scarf
pin and ring emblematical of Ma
sorry. Then, or after the Judge made
a touching speech, the fun was re-
newed, cards, music and songs occu-
plying the programme, Comrade Hale
being the chief soloist. When the
party broke up it was with the kind
est wishes that 'Ras might have 100
birthday anniversary and passed as
pleasant as on that evening.

for u S. senator the Democrats lacked

one vote to elect. BuJ one OF the TOp-
ulists came boldly to the rescue, and
contrary to pledges and agreements
among themselves, cast his vote for
the Democratic nominee, thus Sc
curing his election. No sooner had his
vote been cast than another Populist
arose to his feet and accused his par
ty man Of being bribed and also
claimed to know who put up the
money. In the outcome of the bust
ness said member was called upon to
make good his assertions but failed
and came near being expelled. How
ever the house let him off with a rep
rimand from the Speaker and a weeks
suspension from the privileges of the
house. In any case the Populists are
in the soup and the poor infant seems
to be on the decline. Disagreement
in the family is causing the poor thing
to waste away. The only hope of saw
ing it is a loan from the government
at two per cent. But who will put
up the securitieo?
l will say few words about Cali
fornia in general, and make some COM
parsons about this climate and the
east. The signal service reports Sc
we're cold all over the east and north.
| suppose the Coal Stove clubs are
we'll attended, this being the season
when said clubs arrange their affairs
to leave such a cold country just as
soon as spring opens and forget all
about going as soon as the sun comes
out warm. We are not troubled that
way here. So far this winter we have
not seen any snow. The snow never
falls here in the valley, but we some
times see it on the mountain tops.
The last week has been rainy, our fall
Of rain to date being about eighteen
inches which secures us crop for
this year. Many people are deferred
from coming to California fearing that
land owners will make it impossible
for them to get foothold. I can say
to all such that their fears are ground
less. Land away from the cities is as
cheap as in Minnesota. A very serious
objection to this country is the alb
sence of good roads and in some To-
calities there are no roads whatever.
Large holdings are another serious
drawback, but that state of things is
constantly changing and the large
ranches will soon be things of the past.
In coming to this country it at first
takes some time to catch on, but once
having gained foothold Judge this
place better than any in the east.
Wages are higher for all kinds of la
Dor and it is curious fact that with
crowd of idle men around it one gets
job at any kind of labor. They will
all remain idle in preference to work
ing at reduced rates. l suppose those
countries that can raise the most beef,
pork, hay, grain, etc., will always be
the most wealthy. But for solid COM
fort there is more of it to the square
acre in California than in any of the
most wealthy communities of the cold
north. In conclusion l will say that
we have strawberries at all seasons
of the year. Vegetables every day
from the gardens. Oranges are now
at their best and the trees with their
golden fruit is sight pleasant to the
eye. The corn and the wine, the
wheat and the honey, the olive and
apple are all to be had at the call of
the husbandman. Truly this is a
goodly land. SAM'L Sr1cKLE.

OF LOCAL INTEREST

DR.. E. A. Lyman has been suffer
ing from serious and exceedingly
painful attack of neuralgia
during the past week.
Henry Ackmann's delivery horse
ran away from Henry Tuesday, but
was captured by Chief Crooks before
any serious damage was done.
DR.. J. L. Schoch and Al. Eckstein,
of New Ulm, have appealed from the
action of the county commissioners in
refusing to allow bills for medical
treatment for Redwood prisoners in
New Ulm::jail, to the district court.
A notice in the Chicago Herald an
nounces the.death on Feb. 7, at May
fair, of Miss Lena NJ. Paulson, quite
we'll known as visitor to Redwood
and always as guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Birum. The funeral occurred
from the residence of G.. G. Birum,
Hunting ave., Chicago.
Rev. John Sinclair writes the Pr
oneer Press, in effect that DR.. Pease
operated on him to the extent of re-
moving a pigment ny incision from a
sensitive part of Mr.. Sinclair's hands,
without pain. The operation was af-
ter the discovery of a German physi-
clan.
Mr.. Turrell has offered two bridge
bills in the house one appropriating
$1,000 for a bridge across the Ramsey,
Just above the falls. The idea of the
latter is to complete the profile of the
proposed new pleasure drive around
that popular point; the other is for a
bridge across the Cottonwood, below
Lamberton.
G. B. Blake, of Sleepy Eye, district
agent of the Northwestern Mutual
Life ms. Co., represented here by G.
W.Everett,was in the city Monday, land
paid over $5O6.75 to the heirs of the
late Dr!sRiheldaffer. The latter was
carrying a $4,000 policy, but had on
ly paid one premium, thus allowing
the policy to elapse, and his heirs re-
ceive only small portion of the
amount.
In an interview with Hon. O. B.
Turrell last Monday he stated that in
all probabilities Redwood and Rem
vile counties would comprise one
Senatorial district with Senator and
two representatives, before the pres
ent legislature adjourns. A bill al
lowing any person to condemn the
right of-way of railroad lands for ele-
vator purposes would surely pass.
while the:hill to create public ware
house system at Duluth, would be de-
feated. Gov. Nelson is backing bill
to license all elevators and thus place
them under State control, and this
will also probably pass. The legisla-
ture, he thought, would not attempt
to regulate charges of common car
riors.

Arkansas Worlds Fair building.
Arkansas has won certain sort of
fame by being the only state to have
