KIND WORDS.

We trust we shall be pardoned for re-
ceptable words of Doctor Christian John
son in last weeks Willmar Tribune. In
another this would be vanity. In us it is
simply self-defense. We have been 50
slandered and maligned, for a lifetime,
that there are thousands of good people
in Minnesota who regard us as little
better than a demon. Personally we care
nothing for this, but it strengthens the
robbers of the people and lessons the pro-
gress of reform principles.
Ignatius Donnelly gives some inside
history of his struggles for the cause of
justice to the people, in the last num-
bers Of the Representative. Mr.. Donnelly
is the most abused and misrepresented
man of the age. He may have his pecu-
liarities like the rest of us, but he is
nevertheless the true and, in many re-
spects. the ablest champion of popular
rights in the country. Like Paul of old
he has been beset for quarter of a CEN
fury by enemies within and enemies with
out. His judgment may at times have
been at fault-whose is not but he is
right at heart. No scandal has been sue
cessfully fastened onto him notwithstand-
ing the tireles efforts of his enemies in
that direction. He is poor today in spite
Of the fact that his private labor has
brought him large annual income He
lives frugal and virtuous life He is
a real hero. We predict that the people
who now want to cruelty him will Wor-
ship him as a saint hereafter. He is
ft,n oil 0f Iii
serves the admiration of every patriotic
American. Had he been treated with the
same respect and consideration that. for
instance, the Washburns and Pillsburys
have been, he would have been in the
White House long ago. But his fort is
not office holding. He is too independ-
ent for that. The genius of an inscrut-
able Providence has no doubt used him
for a nobler purpose than to mummify in
office. The reform forces must uphold
the hands of Mr.. Donnelly. We have none
to fill his place. We hope he may live to
see the cause triumph that he is so ably
advocating. The warfare of truth, Bro.
Donnelly, has truly been in your case;
"A friendles warfare: lingering long
Through weary day and weary year;
A wild and many-weaponed throng
Hang on thy front, and flank and rear.
"Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand alOof
The sage may frown-yet faint thou
not.
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The Kissing, singing bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell. at last,
The victory of endurance born.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain
And dies among her worshippers.
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust,
When those who helped thee flee in
fear
Die full of hope and manly trust
Like those who fell in battle here
Another hand thy sword shall weld
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast of triumph DER thy grave"

THE ANNUAL MEETING.

OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FARM
ER's ALLIANCE.-WHERE SHOULD
1T BE HELD?-A PROPOSITION FROM
SAUK CENTER.
Editor Representative:
At this time there are in Alliance circles
probably no question more important
than the annual meeting, and how to be
able to send delegates to same, and pay
the necessary expenses thereof out of 40
cent wheat 10 cent oats and cents po-
tatoes. 1t seems to me that if the execu-
tive committee could do anything to les
sen expenses that it is its duty to do so
and l am of the opinion that this could be
accomplished by fixing the place of hold
ing the meeting at some central point
nearest to the greatest number of alli-
ances. In looking over the list find that
there never was an alliance organized in
the county Of Ramsey and that there is
not nor more than two years past has
been live alliance in Hennepin county.
This fact alone indicates that the ex-
pense OF attending the meeting could be
reduced If the meeting was called to be
held at some place outside of the Twin
Cities; besides this we would not have
to go down in our pockets to chip in for
hall rent and another saving could be
counted on in the shape of cheap hotel
rates.
There is no question if said meeting is
held at st. Cloud, Willmar, Fergus Falls,
Wadena, Granite Falls, Sauke Center or
any other centrally located city in the
state that free hall can be had, and ex
tremely low hotel rates can be obtained.
Not wishing to be selfish in the matter
or champion for any one place, but simply
to show what can be done l am author
lied on behalf of Sank Center to make
the following offer if the annual meeting
is held here; viz: free hall, hotel rates
Is cents to 81 per day. and besides this a.
sufficient sum will be raised by the cit
liens to pay all incidental expenses. In
order that the committee may know the
sentiment of the people l would ask that
the officers of every alliance in the state
call meeting of their respective alli
ances at once, not only see that the meet
ing is called, but that the same is we'll
attended and that every member pays his
dues. Take vote ait this meeting On
whether you wish the meeting held in st.
Paul or Minneapolis where even our
newspapers are, or at some other place,
and report the vote at once to the under
signed. Only the vote of alliances in good
standing or which remit with the report
will be considered.
Alliance papers please copy.

Did You ever try to sock an explanation
for the tito Of ''misterg"
At time when Europe, and particularly
England, was Overrun with tho nobility
and titled cleries, the common people were
known only by their Christian, or baptis-
nal, names. As time passed and certain
tradesmen became skilled mechanics they
were looked up to as persons above tho
average in intelligence. Being noble, and
yet not belonging to the nobility, they be-
gan casting about for title that would be
a distinguishing mark In those days a
trade was kept as a secret, and the workers
were referred to as persons who had learn

looked upon as being of higher rank than
