Dreadful COrruptiOnS.

The reports that reach us of the
corruptions practiced in the last cam
paign are dreadful. The Albert Lea
Standard says that, in Freeborn coun-
ty, leaders in townships were paid as
high as $500 to desert their principles,
and support the Republican ticket.
Other men were paid from $50 to 500:
with the promise of 5000 more, if the
township was carried for the Republi-
cans. We hear in st. Paul of one out
lying ward where the silver dollars
were carried, in bags to the polls, in q
aragOn! In another case the agents of
one candidate had hired 100 workers
for s. each, to work for him; but on
the morning of election the agents of
the other fellow appeared on the field,
and bought up the whole 100 for $40 a
piece!
Really. in the face Of such facts, we
may we'll ask ourselves the question:
"Can government, so governed. en-.
dure:''
The worst symptom is that the re-
cital of these facts does not stir the
blood Of men to indignation. They
simply grin and think it a good joke:
and are sorry they didn't get some of
the DOODLE.

The cry of the Times for some lead

1t Is Inevitable.

The letter of Wharton Barker of
Philadelphia to Gov Mckinley asking
that he publicly state his position on
the money question and urging that
the Republican rallying cry for 1896 be
"Protection and Bimetallism" IS
significant. The next national elec-
tion will be fought upon the currency
issue and will be won by the party
which convinces the people Of the SIN
cerity of it purpose to check the con-
traction of the currency and the APP
probation of gold.-Chcago Times
That is so. The currency question
will split UP the two old parties in
1896 Just as the slavery question broke
up the Democratic and the Wing par
ties in 1856. After the lapse Of just
forty years history will repeat itself.

PeacOcks.

If you wish to take the conceit
out of Q peacock pull out his tail
feathers, and soon as he finds the
glory OF his plumage gone he be-
comes the humblest, most subdued
and acknowledging oird that ever
walked tho earth. A peacock in
full feather is so vain and concelted
as sometimes to be really trouble
some. Not satisfied with squalling
at the top of his discordant voice,
and with parading himself through
the yard and up and down the walks
with expanded plumage, he will at
tack cats, dogs, and even children,
and has boon known to seriously in
jure small boys or girls that were
incautious enough to venture within
his reach. Plucking his tail feath-
ers, however, causes all his courage
to evaporate. He will sneak around
the yard like whipped spaniel, will
keep out OF sight as much as posi-
Bile, and you will hear nothing of
him, and see very little, until his
plumage has again grown.

A sporting man is an entirely differ.

cnt sorts. although he may not en-
gage in them at all. He probably
plays the races, drinks hard, takes;
in all the prize fights, and spends
most of his evenings, when there is
nothing else on hand, playing cards
and whooping things up. But sport
is on a still lower scale. He is a
fellow who thinks he is big potatoes,
when he's really nothing but runt.
He need not know anything about
sports or engage in them either. His
reputation will be won chiefly by his
loud dress, HIS hlrtations with tho
girls, his hanging around saloons,
and his general worthlessness. No.
sir; there are a good many persons
who are proud to be called sporting
men or sports, but to call a true
sportsman by such term is little
