POPULlST FINANCE.

In the way of providing for volume
of currency the Populists can take
the cake. During the last session OF
congress they introduced bills which
if enacted would call for the issue of
several times the present volume of
our circulation. Among some OF
these bills was one by Congressman
Davis providing for loan to certain
mortgage debtors, which it is estimat-
ed would require the issue of not less
than S1O,OOO,OOO, Senator PETER
also introduced a somewhat similar
bill providing for the immediate issue
of 800, 100000 and an ultimate issue
of much more. Representative
Kern's bill to provide for govern
ment bank in every county would re-
quire an issue of $1,000, 100000 more.
Representative Hudson's pension bill
would require the Immediate issue Of
81, 500, 100000, while Representative
Davis industrial army bill would call
for an annual expenditure of $4,000, :
600. Senator PETER would provide &c.
$780, 900 annually forcharity. Represen-
tative Boon, of this state wanted $780,
100000 issued for internal improve
ments, and would add ST, 100000 more
to eXterminate the Russian thistle !;
Senator PETER believed that for $780,
000,0 900 he could provide rain for the
multitude. Besides these bills Rep
resentative Glover introduced two
into the SD congress one providing
for the issue of S12,000,000 900 to be
loaned to the states, and another pro-
viding for the issue of money to be
loaned to cities and municipalities
which it is estimated would call for
at least $40, 100000, 900 more. Here is a
total represented of over S35, ,O00,-
900, and it does not cover all the bills
which were introduced. A more wild
and senseless scheme could not well
be imagined. And yet if the Populists
could once secure control of the ma
tional government it marks well the
course they would pursue, and as a re-
suit plunge the country into tremen-
dous financial wreck, and in this they
would no doubt be aided by many
Democratic fatists. The only escape
from a severe financial crises is to
again return the Republican party to
power, and so insure continuance of
the safe financial policy of the past
third of century, with such prac-
tical changes as are needed to con-
form with our growth.

DO NOT OVERLOOK THE LEGISLA=
TURE.

Not only is there seemingly deal
on between the Pops and the Demo-
Gratis to try and elect Owen and Bier
man to the exclusion of the remainder
of their respective tickets, but there is
no doubt but that all sorts of deals and
trades will be made in desperate at
tempt to elect, if possible, majority
in the legislature opposed to the Re-
publicans. There is no longer any
doubt but that the Populists hope to
hold the balance of power and are
willing to enter into any sort of deal
to that end. The deal made with the
Democrats in this county on the leg
islative ticket reveals this fact, as
does also the great interest displayed
in the legislative canvass by Ignatius
Donnelly, to the exclusion of the rest
of their campaign.
If the Populists could obtain the
balance of power in the legislature,
they would make the attempt to force
the election Of Mr.. Donnelly to the
United States senate. To prevent
such calamity voters everywhere
should see that the Republican legis-
lative ticket is successful. The Re-
publicans of Blue Earth county should
repudiate the deal which the Pops and
Dems have fixed up, and see that the
Republican ticket is elected from top
to bottom.
The FREE PRESS believes that
nothing but over-confidence on the
part of the Republicans will give the
opposition any possible show of con-
trolling the legislature; that good hard
work will insure good Republican
majority and the election of a Repub-
lican senator. Next to the election
of Mr.. Owen to the governorship,
there could be no greater calamity to
Minnesota, then the sending of man
like Ignatius Donnelly to the United
States senate.

MANKATo FREE Prs
VIEWED FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The absurd
statements by Minnesota Democrats
that they4will carry the state only
causes amusement in the East, where
there is plenty of accurate informa-
tion to confute them. The Demo
cratic committee here has been max
ing absurd claims, which even Demo
cratic papers pronounce absurd. 1t is
always the plan of the party to make
absurd claims in the hope that some
doubtful votes may be caught. That
plan might have worked long ago, but
it will not work now.
{ am glad to see that Joel Heat
wole is asking Hall some pertinent
questions as to why he voted for GER
tain things in the tariff bill. This is
the only way to reply to the foolish
method adopted by Hall in his cam
paign. However, it might be well to
ask Mr.. Hall, if he is elected, he will
continue to push the bills he has in
troduced, which would result in CIV
ing the Bell Telephone monopoly an
other lease of II years. That is
something that is worth while con-
sidering. Now, 1 have nothing to
say against Hall; but as member OF
congress he is a failure. He does not
know what is going on very well, and
is not known in the house. He has
not, nor will not, be in position to
do much for the state. What is
wanted is representative men.
Nearly every state in the North
will practically shut out Democratic
representation in the coming cleo
tions. 1t will be well for Minnesota
to fall into line. The state will have
first-class representation if the Re-
publicans are all elected.
If the country does not want an
other era of business stagnation and
hard times such as have been in vogue
for the past two years, then a Repub-
lican congress should be chosen. The
avowed purpose of the Democratic
leaders to continue tariff agitation in
congress, will, if they are successful,
mean another era of what we have
just passed through. Ii Republican
congress is elected, it will mean an
end to tariff agitation, as nothing
can be done with the tariff until
after the next presidential election.
The Democrats have been expensive
enough to everybody for long time
to come.
-Four years ago we were paying Nc
Kinley prices for things. If there
has been a reduction in anything so
that we are paying Democratic
prices, we don't know it, because we
are lin Democratic times, and have
nothing to buy articles with. l would
rather pay a little more and have
money to buy with, than to see things
little cheaper and have nothing to
buy with. ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Electricity as a Water Purifier.

Electricity as water Pur1Her.
The Webster method of purifying waste
water by means of electricity has been
tested by DR.. Fermi in the Hygienic insti
tute at Munich. Germany. During the
course of the experiments it was found
that the water became purified in about
fifteen minutes, the organic substances be-
ing reduced by about one-half and the sus-
pended substances being precipitated to
the bottom.
The smell of the water was perceptibly
improved. While the results of the test
show that electricity does not at the present
time realize the ideal of water publication,
it has two great advantages; first, that
very little iron is precipitated and it's re-
moval is not so difficult as in the case of
publication by chemical means, and, Sec
ond, the dissolved organic substances.
which are not precipitated by any of the
known chemical methods heretofore EN-
ployed, are at least partially removed by
the electric current.-New York Telegram.

The Shillolah.

The shillelah is not a mere stick
picked up for few pence or cut casual
ly out of the common hedge. Like the
Arab mare, it's grows to maturity under

The shillelah, like the poet, is born,
not made. Like the poet, too, it is a
choice plant, and it's growth is slow.
Among 10000 blackthorn shoots, per-
haps not more than one is destined to be-
come famous. but one of the 10000 ap-
pears of singular fitness. AS soon as
discovered it is marked and dedicated
for future service. Everything that
might hinder it's development is removed,
and any offshoot of the main stem is
skillfully cut off. With constant care it
grows thick and strong upon dubious
root that can be shaped into HANDLE

DISCOVERED.
A Sea Serpent That Had an Object In
Life.

A Sea Serpent That Had an Object In
Life.
| 1t was Lou who saw it first.
Away off toward the horizon she noticed
something shiny rising and falling with the
waves. There was spot of this shiny
something here and there in line, and
suddenly it came to her that they looked
like scales, and she screamed:
1.-The sea serpentr'
Then the others in the boat looked at it,
and the conclusion was unanimous that q
veritable reptile of the ocean was in sight.
The men were for rowing nearer, to get a
good view of it, but the girls declared they
back to the hotel at once-that is, all but
Lou. Lou wanted to see the serpent at
| closer quarters, and finally the rest said
they were willing to go nearer if the men
would promise to row back the minute
they told them to- Accordingly the boat
was headed toward the monster, and three
pairs of oars sent it merrily over the waves.
All eyes except those of the oarsmen were
directed upon the serpent, which did not
seem to change its position, but lay lazily
on the water, the tops of it's coils appear
ing more or less distinct as the waves rose
and fell around it.
Don't let's go any nearer" pleaded one
of the girls. 1T might chase U.S."
''Oh, yes" replied Lou, I'VE aren't half
near enough yet. Think what nice story
We'll have to tell when we get back to the
hotel"
IF we ever do get back. - added the other
ruefully.
The oarsmen kept on their course, rest
ing occasionally to gaze at the strange ami
NAL and wonder if it was safe to 60 nearer.
The creature was from 20 to so feet long,
according to the different estimates of the
observers, and might be dangerous GUS
toner to encounter at close quarters. Still
the explorers kept on, and presently Lou
said:
Il can see it's mouth. It's wide oren."
Then the others could see it's mouth, and
q savage looking mouth it was-something
like crocodile's, with jaws wide apart.
II believe it's dead" said Lou. 1T
doesn't move it's head particle, bu ust
seems to be floating on the waves. its
mouth wide open."
IF it's dead. it's safe enough" said one
of the oarsman. AT any rate, Pm not 60
ing back now till I've had a closer view"
They were approaching the creature rap
idly now, and presently Lou burst into a
hearty laugh.
well, what's funny?"
why" she giggled, that sea serpent's
made of tin, and in its open jaws is paint
ed sign which says. Use Lungs Liver
Pills."
Then we turned about and went back to

It Is Gratifying.

It ought to be a source of profound graft
fication that women generally have proved
equal to the demands made upon them by
recent developments in all the new fields OF
endeavor and are taking the departure"
from former habits and ideas with strength
and vigor while still maintaining the in
tegrity of their womanhood. lconoclasts
among women are rare, but they have
shown themselves fully capable of decisive
action in emergencies and of holding their
end Of the line in all faithfulness and
power.
Talking and demanding have not seemed
to avail them much; but in positions of
trust they win golden opinions, and are
more and more sought for as their fitness

ENGAGED.

The little bond that links your life to mine
Seems slight and fragile; do you think twill
hold
And bear the changes of the coming time,
When life is dark and all is bleak and cold2
And do you think that, purified by pain,
We can take up our lives and love AGAIN.
Or when, like the inconstant skies of spring.
Our lives are clouded as her sunny air,
And we know pain that summer could not
bring,
Will you not find it all too hard to bear?
And when these storms and weary hours have
tried us.
Can we live on and let no power divide us7
Then If this little chain, so frail and weak
It trembles when our lives are fair and bright,
Could find a voice and each small link could
speak,
Would it not say twas frighted of the night7
II it must break and we must humbly bow,
In pity for my weakness, break it now.
But If you think that it can bear the weight
OF fiery trials as they come and 60,
We can take heart and boldly meet the fate
That gives impartially of joy and woe;
And be it summer fair or wintry weather,
We can be brave and meet all, love, together.

IT NEVER CAME AGAIN.

oh, picture dear to memory!
The skies lay low and fair
Above the mirrors of the sea
And viewed their beauty there.
The hills upon the deep were glassed,
And cool the meadows dreamed.
And every cloud that DER us passed
Like angels chariOts CLEANED.
The far lands seemed jeweled mist:
So near the Blessed Shores
We scanned the liquid amethyst
For CLEANS of golden oars.
Not often to the soul it's given
To doubly visioned be-!
Our feet had neared the verge of Heaven
And touched the jasper sea.
And meath the walls of jeweled sklee>
Above the ocean floors.
Afar saw my old home rise
And watched the open doors.
Isaid-Yon light-impassioned ate
Should WOO an artists pen
But passed the mystic beauty. there, j
And, not the same as then,
At memory's windows oft sighed
For that one picture, oft denied
1t never came again.

New Style of Coon Hunting.

The inhabitants of the mountains west
OF this place are great coon hunters.
Some nights ago Bill Benchof and
Colonel Yingling started out with half
dozen dogs and two boys to carry the
pine torches. A coon was raised on the
east side of the Monterey, and the dogs
chased it down through a deep and
rough ravine and up a rocky spur on
the west. After climb of an hour
Benchof and Yingling at last came up
with the dogs. They had run the coon
into tree and were snarling and bark
ing around underneath. The boys
whirled the torches and Benchof banged
away at what he thought was the coon,
but no animal tumbled
Yingling in the meantime had been
tearing paper and trying to ignite a
match, but it was damp and would only
splutter. Benchof was deriding him
when suddenly great ball of fire illu-
minated space. Yingling had succeeded
in igniting his match and was emptying
a roman candle into the tree.
The first ball struck a branch and
burst and the second hit the coon
plumb center" Its fur caught fire
and with yell it came rolling down
among the angry dogs. The third ball
revealed two more coons in the tree, and
Benchoff's rifle dropped one, while Wing
ling, with the last ball in the candle, hit
the limb on which the third coon chung
with pitiful terror, and it lost it's hold
and tumbled into the mouths of the
waiting dogs.
They got six more coons that night
with the help of Yingling's candles, and
now the colonel regularly shoots the
romans and Benchoff shoots the gun.
They are the most successful coon hunt
ers in all the region.-Gettysburg Pa.)
