list!

Hon. Ell. Meilicke, Member of the
House from the 9Th district, made us a
pleasant call on Saturday accompa-
MED by Hon. Henry Feig. Mr.. Mel
licke is a farmer. His competency as
a legislator caused his appointment
on three important committees-Edu-
cation, Census, and Hospitals for the
Insane. We regret that he is popu-
list, but honor his usefulness as
man and Observation-Disclosures Repub-
lican.
Well, Bro, Satterlee, don't re-
greet that Mr.. Meilicke is a popu-
list, for the G.. o. P. threw him
bodily out, as Congressman Eddy
says, ''for his honor and useful
ness as a man and legislator.
Regret that leading populist
is d competent and honorable
man! Regret that you are forced
to acknowledge it! Wonderful
mental philosophy this, Bro. Sat-
terlee! Let Bro. Archibald test
your refexes before you write
another news item.
And this gives us, by the way,
an opportunity to tell our read
ers that Hon. E. J. Meilicke, of
Worthington, IS one of the bright
est and brainiest populists of the
southern part of the state. He
is of German parentage, but
speaks Norwegian as well as Ger.
man and English, and is an all
around hustler and a fighter of
more than ordinary ability. The
old party silk stocking gentry of
the last legislature. feared him
more than any other opponent. !.
p. J. Meilicke is going to play
a prominent part in Minnesota
politics hereafter. Heis just the
kind Of q man that can make the
old parties hunt their holes. If
we ware inclined to betting, we
would wager that Bro: Meilicke
was iupto convert Henry Feig
from the error Of his ways. We
know Henry could not associate
with Meilicke very long without
becoming populist.

THE PROMISES REALIZED.

Gov. Mckinley said in his Massil-
Ion speech that the prosperity that
would flow to all the people by an in
dorsement of the republican ticket in
Ohio would be felt from one end Of
the country to the other. A return of
this confidence has already been felt
by the workingmen in his pet institl-
ton in Canton. The DEubeR-Hampden
Watch Company of Canton notified
their men on Wednesday morning
Zone day after the election, after twas
fully known that the people have be-
lieved the republican promises) J, that
their wages would be cut Is per. cent
and employment given only three days
in the week. Over three-fourths of the
men were laid off for a week to give
the management time to readjust the
scale of piece work. The cut means
that men employed in the factory who
could make under the old wage scale
SIS per week would be employed half
time at Is per cent of their former
wages, or $5-624 per week,-Sound
Money.
We say the watch company did
serve their men just right. They
of course all voted for protection,
and will doit again next year,
and SO on for ever, They lack
the instinct of self-preservation,
not to speak of manhood. Most
of our workingmen in large cities
and mines have already become
simply a piece of automatic ma
chinery. The brain is already
: gone. They are like squad of
drilled soldiers, who when the
officer commands, obey from
force of habit. Thus most of our
laboring men vote by force Of
habit just as the boss votes, ire.

God has prospered your planting,

From the earth like the army of Death
You have sown the teeth of the

Hark to the bay of the leader. You shall
" hear the roar of the pack:
AS sure as the stream goes seaWard
The crust in the Greater beneath you
Shall crack and crumble and sink with
your laws and rules

That grind the rent from the tolers blood

till the world is filled with fear.
And falsehood wins from truth, and the
vile and cunning succeed.
And manhood and love are dwarfed, and
~ virtue and fl iendship Sick,
And the law of Christ is a cloak for the

The woman delegates to the Purity
Congress that met several weeks ago
in Baltimore, learned, it is to be
hoped, an important lesson. They are
up in arms against prostitution.
The traffic in girls and other such
topics were discussed by them. But
lecturing of this sort did not satisfy
them: they thought it advisable to ex-
tend the field of their purifying
work. 1t was not enough to lecture
one another on the sinfulness of i'm.
purity, they justly argued: it was of
more Importance to carry the gospel
into the haunts Of impurity and en-
deavOr to redeem the fallen. So
thought, so done. At about midnight
a party of them, headed by Mrs. Ed
holm, and escorted by two ministers
and four newspaper men, besides two
police sergeants, dived into the slums
and visited the most notorious houses
Of prostitution. There, in the pres
ence Of the fallen and surrounded by
the protecting parsons, newspaper
men and police sergeants, they prayed
and eXpostulated. For a while the
women listened patiently; suddenly a
Black Crook sort OF transformation
took place. The accuSerS and their
hackers we're thrust into the place OF
the accused; the accused stepped into
the role of the accusers. A young
girl, not over sixteen years old, turned
upon the ''social purity preachers

and lofty dignity and sweeping in her

paper men and the sergeants, charged
them with producing the impurity

claimed, lis what drives us to such

men, are the cause Of existing impur-
ity. The one sets it rolling, the 9TH
ers prop it up with sermons, editorials
and clubs.
. Did the 'social purity women
learn lesson? If, indeed, their
purity is stronger, than their class
interests, they will turn around,
preach to those unprincipled newspa
per men and parsons who are bolster
ing up the impurity-producing social
order, and carry their campaign of
fumigation hjgher-into the palatial
mansions of the capitalist exploiters.
II they do not, they simply put the
fact bare that they are the lineal de-
scendants Of that generation Of vipers
whom the Nazare lashed with the
words:
eye blind guides, which strain at a
gnat, and swallow a camel.

sees, hypocrites. For ye make clean
