Populist ranks,-and scarcely any one
out of them. If it cannot speak well
OF man it is silent. We ask for our.
self, no office;-simply the privilege OF
working for the cause, and helping
others. If now, under these circum-
stances, professed Peoples Party pa
per, without the slightest proyocation
on our part, goes out of its way to at
tack us, impugns our motives and
strives to lessen our influence, there is
only one explanation:-it IS paid by the
enemy. The corruptionists know they
cannot buy US; and they know we are
doing tremendous work for reform:
and nothing is more natural, there

buried-lost to sight, to memory dear,
rotten but not forgotten, )-than to
hire some small-potato editors, little
Fishes so to speak,-in our own ranks,
to nibble at us, in their respective To-
calities. 1t is in this way we explain
the assaults of a feeble, little thing, in
Fergus Falls, called "The Globe;" a
very pretentious name, by the way, for
very small part of the earth,-we
might say for mere fy-speck.
We felt good deal, l,-When some one
called our attention to it's attacks
like the old farmer in A rkansas, when
an eastern dude drew a diminutive
pistol on him. Mister" said he, "if
you shot me with that ar thing, and 1
found it out, I'd lick YOU"
Behave yourself, fly-speck, and let
us have peace in the family. If you
have any brains apply them against
the common enemy.
In the meantime. let the Populists
of Otter Tail county, keep a sharp eye
On the editor of the "Globe." Take
him up by the hind legs tenderly, and
shake him lively, and you will hear the
money jingle in his breeches' pockets.
The most dangerous fellows in an
army are the scoundfels who, in the
midst of the fight, shoot their own Off
GERS in the back. We have got some
of that breed Of scamps in the Peoples
party, in Minnesota:a and we propose to
treat them to drum-head court-mar-
tials just as fast as ws. can lay hands

Mr.. Nelson O. FUss. editor of the
Ortonville Headlight, is a learned
Scandinavian; he has been writing
some very interesting articles, recent
ly, about the preColambian discover
les Of America, by the Norwegians and
others. In his last issue he has open
ed up a very interesting subject of
discussion, to wit, the relationship of
the ancient Northmen to the Irish
Scotch and English races. He says:
cit will be seen by an article in this
issue, that the Hon. ?. d. O'Phelan is
doing good work for the "Irish cause"
His remark: "the most historic race
in Europe" is full of truth. for many
reasons. 1t is fast coming to light
that in Northern Europe was the
cradle of the White race, and that our
forefathers plOdded on the shores and
in the forests bordering on the Baltic
and the North seas numerous thous-
ands of years before the foot of
White man ever .trod the soil of
Greece or Rome or Hindustan. 1t is
now established that the Greeks and
Romans and Aryan Hindus came from
the North-and they were the child
rem OF our forefathers, who had in
habited the sea coasts of North
Europe at least eight thousand years
IN the past-and perhaps even fifty
thousand. The earliest tribal names
we have of the White race are pre-
served in the North as nowhere else.
An able leader of tribe in those re-
motely past days had borne the name
Of Ari. The tribal name of his people
has come down to us as Arii or Aryans.
land; Rian, in Iceland; Ryan, in Ire
countries. A leader of another tribe
had borne the name of Iver, and his
tribe Ivernians. This name is pre-
served in Iver in the Scandinavian
countries, in McIver in Ireland, and
Iroquis in America. Still another
leader in the equally remote past,
must have borne a name something
like Gute-and his tribe became a
most powerful one, and sent out
branches under the various names of
Gutes, Jutes, Gutir, Guthones, Goths,
GOuthOi Greekoi, Goidels, Gaels.
Gauls. CALI, Geta, Celta, Cimrii,
Kymri, and to far off India they came
Gottama, Guptas, Jets, or Juts,-yet
preserved in Rajput, it is claimed. In
Norway the name is we'll preserved in
Cute and Gauti. The name of their
country at the earliest dawn of his
tory appears to have been Scanthia-
Scythia of the Greeks-corrupted into
Scandia, Scandinavia. The Oldest
relics of the race are entirely of the
same nature on all the coasts of the
Baltic and North seas. Many words
are entirely the same in Old Irish and
Old Norse-for instance. the first (the
oldest) numeral is "oin'' in both Ian
guages. That the other European ma
tions came from the North, is of such
recent history as to be unnecessary to
mention here. No other part of the
globe can maintain it. Each part of
earth can only evolve its own kind"

Why, brother Hall. where are you
