Hugo Roos and his Brownies.

For some months past, Hugo Roos Of
this city has been decorating envelopes
sent out from the New Ulm Roller Mill
office with ingenious Brownie figures, land
his clever WORK has not failed to attract
attention. Not long since the American
Miller, published at Chicago, requested
him to draw some for that journal, and
IN the last issue they appear, together
with the following comment:
Palmer Cox, the originator of the
Brownies, although very versatile, and
author of Brownies for almost every
business imaginable, has neglected a
great opportunity. He never originated
the Millers' Brownies. The matter has
been taken up, however, by Mr.. Hugo
Roos of New Ulm, Minn., and the Mill
ers' Brownies have come into existence
and will now be allowed to dance upon
the high patents and bakers, play leap
frog over the boiling reel and purifier
and indulge in all sorts of mischievous
pranks and ingenious sports. 4.

Editorial.

The action of Gov. Nelson in announc-
ing himself as candidate for the senate
against Mr.. Washburn is not such as to
occasion much surprise. No one who
has closely watched the career of this
ambitious individual since his advent in
to Minnesota politics could have failed
to observe his peculiar methods and the
selfish aspirations which they were in
tended to sustain-no one could have
failed to see that he was a Nelson man
through and through, falthless to his
party's pledges and crafty and suspicious
in his conduct towards political associ-
ates, whenever personal ends demanded
it. He is the same now as when he voted
for the Mills bill for questionable rea-
sons, and later on became a rabid pro-
tectionist for Offices sake-the same as
when he turned the cold shoulder on
McGiu and kept Davis in doubt as to
whether he was his friend or not. The
leopard doesn't change his spots and
neither does Nelson, It simply happens
that he has his mask off at the present
time,
As for his relations to Mr.. Washburn
and his excuses for becoming his opps-
nent, we do not propose to consider them
as jury would under a judges legal re-
strictions. It makes no difference wheth-
erhe made any absolute promises or not
and the fact that in his public state
Laents he may have been careful enough
to leave a loep-hole by which he could
release himself later on-an art at which
he seems to have acquired considerable
profoiency-does not enter into the case
at all. 1t is enough for the people to
know that the impression he intended to
convey was not in harmony with the
course he is now pursuing. For in Or
der to gain the good will of Washburn's
friends, be led them to believe that he
did not intend to be candidate for
senator and that if elected governor he
would serve out his term. That's what
the people expected of him and they
took him at his word. They were not

tics willing to reduce it to the level of
the ward heeler and the selfish boss. But
even in league as he is with the prince of
political outcasts, we have confidence
that there is still enough of honor and
sinew in the legislature of this state to
bring about his certain defeat.
We earnestly hope tor Knute Nelson's
defeat as candidate for senator for these
reasons. .7.
The welfare of the state doesn't de-
pend on certain individual getting
everything he chooses to want. .
One manism is dangerous, for it leads
to bossism and disregard of public in ::
terests.
When man has been rendered good
thing at the hands of the people, he ought
to wait until he is asked to aspire for
something higher. 1t savors of hoggish-
ness to demand everything in sight.
Running for office for the sake of u.s.
ing it as stepping stone to further in
individual ambitions should not be coun-
tenanced. Public office implies duty,
and when a man accepts it, be does so
as servant and not for the sake of
making himself prominent. At least
that's what our fathers intended.
Inconsistency and two-faced treatment
of the public do not entitle a man to the
ordinary rewards of merit, to say moth
of the highest office in the. gift of the
state.
Political combinations with such men
as Sabin and Clough mean complete de-
moralizatien in the methods of securing
an election, and should be Stunned even
as one would shun a dreaded disease.
The fact that Nelson so little regards
the reputation of this big state as to en-
ter conspiracy to make David Clough
its governor, merely to help his own
cause, shows plainly that he is not 4 fit
man to represent us in the national con-
gress.
Nelson may be intellectually strong,
but his unholy alliance with Sabin to
satisfy that mans spirit of revenge
and his own greedy desire shows that
morally he is vaciliating and weak.
The campaign tor senator as a result
of his action will be one of corruption
and dishonor. The people of Minnesota
cannot afford to endorse it.
Senator Washburn is in all good re-
spects his equal, and in manliness his
superior. Then why should the legisla-
ture displace him, merely to give success
to political scheme that has been boil
ing in the heads Of detested politicians
for years?

Eli Perkins tells great many good
stories that have not often found their
way into print. Here are some Of them,
which are worth remembering.
One day Travers, the well-known New
York broker, was talking to Henry Clews,
when he saw Jay Gould, standing in
front of the Stock Exchange, buried in
deep thought.
"Clews," he said, turning to the bark
er, "that's queer attitude for G-G-
Could"
"How so?" asked Clews.
"Why he's got his hands in his PIP
pockets-his own p-p-pockets."
At another time Mr.. Travers was stand
ing opposite the Exchange, buying some
stock from gentleman whose aspect
was Enthusiastically of the Hebrew stamp.
"Wh-wh-w what is your name!'' asked
Travers.
"Jacobs,'' responded the seller.
"B-b-but VIII what is your Christian
name?" reiterated Travers.
One day Col. Fisk of the Erie Road
was showing Travers over the "Plymonth
Rock" the famous Long Branch boat.
After showing the rest of the vessel, he
pointed to two large portraits of himself
and Mr.. Gould, hanging a little distance
apart, at the head Of the stairway.
''There," said the Colonel, "what do
you think of them?"
''They're good, Colonel-you hanging
on one side and Gould on the other;

the wicked Mr.. Travers. buri,d in

Shortly before Gould's death, Few. DR..
Cuyler of Brooklyn was making some

asked him about Goulds religious con-
