St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-01-18

have had the honor to be made rep
reSentative and correspondent at large
fort great and glorious state of North
Dakota for the st. Paul DAILY GLOBE.
This honor is extended to me, as COM
piiment to the people of this state, espe-
clally the farmers, as | am a farmer
myself. 1t was promised that we should
have something under this adminiStra-
tion from outside of the state. This is
it, all of which. no doubt. the people
will fully appreciate. We can trust
them for this. If not for groceries,
Here is a plum l. shall endeavor
not to be selfish with, but let the
people enter Into its full enjoyment
and benefits. 1t has been the ambition
of my life to get in position where /
could do something for the state and
help my friends. by bringing them
prominently into notice. At last.
the glorious opportunity and privi-
lege has come. l accept the
position rendered by a metropolitan
newspaper like the st. Paul DAILY
GLOBE, so that when l watch and ward
over the interests of the people L can
have an organ to sound the results of
my watching and wardlng. or notify
or instruct them which way to go and
what to do to improve their condition
and mine, too. First, | desire success.
Next. all there is in it.
| cannot be a success. only as the pub
lie indOrse and pronounce me so. If l
can't do the public any good, shall
throw up my job. l have notion at
the present time that the world is like
an old fiddle out of tune. 1t has all the
strings, the bridge, the bow, the keys and
sounding post, but it is not tuned prop
erly. | should like to hear Ole Bull,
Remenyi, Musin or Marie Paige try to
play on violin with the ''E'' too low,
the IA" TOO high and the ''tT' and I'D"
an octave apart. No artist on earth
could take the best instrument ever
made and bring harmony ont of it If 1t
gether. There is an abundance of
everything in the country today. but
society is out of tune. Little ''E'' is too
low and big "G' too high, and "A" and
ID" are entirely loose. We must tighten
little e." let down big &C." and bring
"a" and sd" to the proper pitch.
1t is not altogether case of politics
we are suffering from. 1t might be said
that it is case wherein the people are
plaintiff and God is defendant. APP
pear as the attorney of record for the
defendant. God has preachers and
teachers representing Him, but He
needs an Attorney appear in that ca
pacity-and the globe is the pulpit
SHALL occupy to represent Him. There
has been no failure on Gods part TO
supply an abundance. The world is
full of everything; the only trouble is
| it is not properly or evenly distributed.
| The fiddle is all here, but it is out of
tune. l shall try and help tune it.
As l ain to deal directly with the pub
! lie, will take the public directly into
my confidence. My work is entirely one
| of love and patriotism, if the public do
not see fit to treat it otherwise. Owing
| TO the hard times. | am under contract
not to charge or receive one cent from
| the treasury of the GLOBE for my Serv-
ices. If any lady or gentleman wishes
to subscribe for the GLOBE purely on
my account, and so states it when the
subscription is sent in, get simple
cOmmission-onlyt this and nothing more
i have an idea, after the public and
l get together and get acquainted,
those who subscribe on my account will
be like Jacobs cattle-that the ring
strakeG, speckled and spotted will be
the largest part of the herd. l shall
not ask anyone to go beyond their
means. Every one can raise 81. This
will pay for the WEEKLY GLOBE one
year. All my writings are to appear in
this issue. / wish to reach and comfort
| poor people as we'll as the rich. Any
| one able to take and pay for the DAILY
GLOBE l shall be happy to have do SO.
But upon the WEEKLY l shall insist
That paper is worth a dollar a year
whether l write for it or not, and | dc
not feel as though l was cheating OF

to put dollar in it.
These are said to be. not only very
| hard times-but very peculiar ones. II
is granted-they are very serious times
for some, we grant it. What are we tc
do? And where is it all to end? Ii

minute. You must take the GLOBE
Let us start on business principles like
honest men and women with a purpose
and object in life. Don't ask for credit
but pay cash. A dollar is not worth
running after to collect. 1t is less than
two cents week. Whether l shall live

many railroads are going into the hands

These are peculiar times, and they call
for a peculiar man. believe | am
that fellow. If am anything, l am an
expert on hard times. To meet hard
! times two things are absolutely neces-
sary - you must never give up to
the blues. or lose your heart Without
heart and courage you are nobody and
nothing. If you have not this, keep

my hand continues to appear A neigh.
Dor tells me, if l undertake to write a
letter for publication every week, that
| the public will be sicker and more tired

who tries to eat thirty quails in thirty
| days. This may be true. But the
thirsty horse will always drink-the
weary heart will always rejoice at rest
and those in darkness will always vel

and see flood of light and grand pros

anything you have yet seen.
If the people are plaintiff, and God is
defendant, you may ask. Who is Judge?
Does God have judge? He does. He
is judged by His works. BY His great
love. By His imnutable laws.
AS this is only the first of a contem-
| plated series OF fifty-two letters, we
will leave little something to say in
the other fifty-one. l will close by say
ing to the dear people that | believe
know perfectly the condition of many.
They are under load of disappointment.
They have weary hearts and tired
hands, and they are watching the star
of hope. 1t shall shine in effulgent
beauty. BUDD REEVE,
Attorney for Defendant.
P. S. This is my inaugural. The
next will be my platform. Please re-
