Other Caustic Questions Answered.
The noble red man has been taking les
sons from some Of the Minneapolis pillars
Of the church, or else the last named or
naments to society have been using these
a%borigines or their spirits to rob Uncle
Sam out Of sundry sums Of money, said
to have been paid annually to Indians not
entitled to the same, or to certain myths.
Unfortunately the reports are a little
meager, inasmuch as they do not give the
names and residences of the beings
white-livered, .white-faced and black
hearted, thus demonstrating to a certain
ty that they are denizens of Minneapolis,
and in all likelihood officials of the lead
ing banks and certain temples of idolatry
therein.
Should you ever visit Little Falls in
Morrison county, just make some quiet
inquiry as to the infant industries of that
county and mayhap you will find that for
many years there thrived therein a fac
tory from which was turned out a large
number Of pieces of scrip, powers and
deeds, alleged to have been issued to or
signed by certain Indians, none of whom
ever saw or had any knowledge of the
same and many of whom were myths.
For years this factory did a large bust
ness, having been started by certain
Minneapolis financiers, politicians and
pillars of the church, and for all we know
they still keep the same in operation.
Were you with me in Minneapolis al
most any day I could stand on the street
corners and readily point out one after
another of the showers of the queer
as they passed by, hence owing to this
fact we are on to the whole gang Of
scoundrelly .murderers in the church and
out. A nuisance if not a term they cen
would have III suppressed.
Forty-six and a half million dollars re-
ported stolen off the timber lands in about
ten years, no account being made of that
not included in officiaLreports, and you can
readily see where the criminal element
get the money to build churches, bribe
legislatures, control courts, press and
state officials, and yet every so-called
daily paper is silent on these men and
their crimes-and you darn fools keep be-
lieving they are honest men and not Grim
inals because some of their hirelings or
stool pigeons in Office, of the press and
pulpit tell you so.
One old thief we have in mind can pray
all day Sunday and PREY all the rest of
the week and if need be, Sunday, too.
What is the name Of the old villain?
Well, now, do you suppose we are go
ing to get this paper into trouble by pub
fishing the name of all the prominent
thieves of Minneapolis? "No! Not be-
cause any of them dare arrest any one
but because there is not space enough in
several issues of the paper to recount the
crimes of this one hypocritical, sancti-
there would be no space for other news.
But his name and crimes have been open
ly stated by the writer more than once,
notably at Moorhead on July LIST, 1893, and
any quantity of times at other places.
We have dared the gang of criminals to
cause our arrest. Arrest u.s.! Not much!
for they fear the taste of the torments of
the damned that we will give them. even
making them think that walking on hot
plowshares was preferable in comparison
to the mental tortures they would en-
dure, and not all the servants of Baal"
could save them the pangs-not of o N
science, because they have none-but Of
the fears caused by a guilty knowledge
of the despicable crimes that have been
committed against and upon a lOng-suf-
fering people.
Lord, deliver us! There is not one Of
the gang-nor, indeed, the whole gang
put to gether that would dare arrest one
of those little "g~ray-back" vermin, should
it be found slowly creeping over their
putrescent carcasses. They would not
dare even to scratch the trail left behind
him.
Members of the Grand Army, you who
fought and bled for your country in years
gone by, should awaken to a realizing
sense of the situation and your duties for
there exists today a rebellion far-reach-
ing and more formidable thar the one you
helped suppress.
With criminals and would-be murder
ers in Office, with a governor the paid tool
or blind dupe, or hypnotized by the GRIM
inal element of the state, with that gov
ernor neglecting or willfully violating the
law and his oath of Office, with your
school fund being robbed, your banks
broken, your timber lands fraudulently
appropriated, it is time to arouse your
selves to a realizing sense of YOU duties.
As for me, not all the murderers in Of
fee and out, nor all their allies can force
me to shut my mouth or stop my pen
till l get good and ready. And they can
all put that in their pipes and smoke it.
Late in the fall of 1891 a party for whom
I had done some favors came. to me with
a letter from the editor of a prominent
daily paper part way East. That letter
was genuine and requested me to go to a
certain city with certain of my evidence
when he would republish the same, and
later his inducements were reinforced by
the personal statements of the editor of
another large daily paper.
The individual who brought. this letter
was, l have since learned, an alleged
private detective and he and his Of
fee had been hired by certain financial
interests in Minneapolis to steal my books
and papers,, n encompass, if possible,
nay ruin.
In view of the fact that the papers were
Of national repute and large circulation,
I went to theNcity named, and while stay
ing in the. hotel had my room rihed and
the contents stolen by the very agencies
who had delivered to me the letters.
And as proof l will state that l now hold
the letters of the chief of the agency as
we'll as several letters and kilograms of
his subordinates which give away the
whole snap, and are now in a safe place
hence they and certain Minnesota poll
ticians are not feeling in a very healthy
condition.
l saw the editors of both these dailies-a
morning and an evening sheet-am free to
