A few of the parties above named are,
Firmeers, Staples & Co., are the heavy
lumber dealers Of Saltwater, having ac-
| quired possibly million of dollars, largely
in this way
S. S. Brown has been for many years
| surveyor general of logs in which posi-
tion it was his duty to report on timber
stolen; yet he was one of the biggest
! appropriations of pine and with full
knowledge of his acts he was reappointed
surveyor general by Knute Nelson
| Henry F. Brown is on the Republican
State Central Committee and also presi-
dent of the Union National Bank.
| N. P. Clarke is the millionaire lumber
man, of St. Cloud, who lately failed
C.. e. Brown is the U. S. deputy sur
veyor and a brother of S. S. and H. F.
Brown.
And these are the men and influences
that controlled the last alleged Repub-
lfcan State Convention, that sought and
| secured the nomination of Knute Nelson,
Dave Clough and some kindred spirits,
and who, by the aid Of Roswell Miller,
| the Great Northern and Omaha interests,
may have elevated or degraded Knute
| Nelson to a seat in the United States
| senate. In the course of time we hope
| to be able to complete al series of lectures
| on national history, now practically done,
| that will be of decided interest to Rosse-
well, Miller, Marvin, Hughitt, James J.
| Hill, Knute Nelson and sundry others,
since they will treat of Gold Bugs"
| 'Straddle Bugs" and other vermin, their
origin, means Of livelihood, characters
( tics and general cussedness.

| eleventh hour, the st. Paul Dispatch has
come to realizing sense that we have
given the truth-about the criminal ele-
| ments of the state-when it states that
| the surveys in Duluth from 1880 to 1890
are fraudulent. Even If it does not state
| that the facts are taken from an article
published by us in the Representative
| last october wherein we showed that in
| this way the railroads and Pillsbury ct
| al. had acquired over one billion dollars,
or say about 81, III ,476, 700, and it was to
prevent an examination of the charges
we made that the gang worked to elect
| NelsonC lough ct al. So, too, during the
| last campaign we showed how the rail-
roads were after the reservations and in
| Waterville an agent of the roads is said
| to have made the boast that they
wouldn't allow us to talk much longer,
but within few days would land us in
an asylum. From the tenor of our ar
| ticles and the action had by the United
States against the thieves the reader can
| form his own conclusion whether we
have not since both talked alnd got in
our work as well.
It is now four years since Pillsbury
had that dream about Timber Land Pie
and which we Interpreted and had pub
| lished in several papers, seven hundred
copies going into the Guaranty Loan
building, and one copy to the St. Paul
| Dispatch and each of the other dailies
| while representative of the Pillsbury
coterie spent days gathering them up for
a funeral pyre.
TIMBER LAND PIE, OR PILLSBURY'S
DREAM
The following is submitted with the
| hope that none named therein will have
cause to feel injured thereby. While
much of it should be taken in a Pickwick-
ian sense, we must frankly state, that as
to part, it contains more truth than
poetry.
| At first my dear reader
I'll give you this leader
| And to this you'll pay great stress,
| Take copy of this article,
| And mark well every particle,
| To send st. Cloud Journal Press.
IT'S said that Wayland Hoyt
| Is decidedly adroit,
| Relieving in the horrors of hell.
You can see among his hearers
| Those who yet may be the wearers
! Of garments that he paints SO wondrous
| well.
! Perchance one falls asleep
| AS his flesh begins to Creep
| AT least you judge so from his nose.
| In his dreams he's reverential
| And perchance quite confidential
| AS he saws. Oh Lord here
| My name it is Pillsbury,
l sit in the sanctuary.
| Dreaming of cumberland pie,
Which by advice Of one Hicks
| And divers cute little tricks
| Was secured by Newton and I.
| Suppose I'm a dandy
| That with Hicks and Andy j
| 1 may not have cause to lament
| That with all the cOnjuring
We neglected the curing
| Our titles along as we went.
Suppose that by forgery,
| BY fraud or conspiracy,
| Or yet bit of a lie, :
Some lands were secured,
OF this rest assured,
| We are an innocent fry.
| Now dear hearer remember,
| During ides of September,
| We'll neer tell you bit of lie,
| But there are lots more politicians
| Are just as expert magicians
| AS 7. B. Walker Newton and I.
! If a mans conscience is timber
| From the sale of burnt timber,
| The money will soon roll up,
| But when time comes for accounting
| For untold millions amounting,
| He'll drink the dregs of the cup.
| For the time is not distant
| When with compass and quadrant
| An agent will count every tree
That was on reservation,
! And note the dissertation,
| Committed by whom? All me!
| Now there's Loren Fletcher,
| AS he lay on Stretcher
| In Winnipeg dungeon of old,
| Could, perchance. without objection,
| And mayhap upon reflection
OF Indian scrip unfold.
And there's Charlie Gilman,
| The political milkman,
Might unbosom himself unto you
| How Sioux Half-breed scrip,
Doubly mounted each trip,
Was made to do duty for two.
! Or there is N P. Clark,
| Is he in the dark
On the subject of timberland pie?
| AS an old politician,
To polite inquisition
| He'll undoubtedly ask you the why.
There's Wilder and Sabin,
IT'S said they are ravin'
| Because of cumberland pie,
Sold to them by Tom Walker,
| For they fear this stout corker,
Can a man deed after he die?
The John Martin Company,
May think it economy,
In acquiring timberland pie,
To ship men away,
| Because if they stay,
