EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN.

THE CORRUPTION OF THE VOTERS
The Progressive age says:
It took eighty-six thousand dollars,
SO the Plutocratic press admits, to de-
feat the PopuliSts of Minnesota last
year. We think it took from three to
five times that much. 1t is even
large amount that they admit. We find
that the Democratic committee was
paid several thousand dollars by the
Republican committee showing to
what those two portions were
forced to resort in order to defeat
the reformers. 1t shows how strong
ly entrenched are the reformers of
this state, and nothing that has come
out in the history Of that memorable
campaign should so encourage re-
formers as this acknowledgment that
it took nearly one hundred thousand
dollars and solid comb nation of the
two old parties on governor to defeat

Is 1t the Flag of the Free ?-This is a
flag Some call it the flag of the free.
Why do they call it that?
When the flag was first made all the
men of the land were free-but the
black men; they were slaves. Then
there was a great war, and the slaves
were made free. But in the next few
years bad laws were made to help the
rich heap up more wealth and force the
poor to work for small pay if they get
work at all. Now few are free but the
rich. But the poor have the most votes.
Some day they will learn to use them,
and choose men to make laws, so that
all may have share of the wealth that
their work makes. Then all in the land
will be free, and all will love the flag

THE PASSMORE CASE.
J sim I'D the case stands thus:


1. Passmore charged the church with
being in league with the political corrup-
tionists; that leading ministers and bish-
ops were in league with harlots, gamblers
and other agents of darkness; that they
were worldly and unspiritual men.
? Passmore charged with falsehood,
and tried by jury of churchmen.
g. Verdict of not guilty.
This verdict will cause more respect for
the church. When man says what Pass
more did about the church it takes good
deal of moral courage to 90. k" the in
dictment.
If there were Passmore in every pulpit
the churches wouldn't have pews enough
to hold the people

Mr.. Stanton's report says: The Weld

marked increase over that of the prev.
ious year, and thus the cost OF produc.
ton - per pound Of copper - remains
about the same, although expenses have
been increased by an advance in wages.
By more extensive openings underground
and by the expenditure of about IS. 900
on the new shaft No. ~, which il SINK
u in the territory acquired last wear.
but which does not yet contribute IN.
wards production. The extension of this
halt and levels therefrom seems likeIv IN
warrant the employment OF another head
OF STAN ~ and doubling the quantity Of
rock treated. To carry this into effect
an output OF 900 tons OF rock monthly
must be made through this shaft, which
will require proper equipment for such
service. IL is, therefore, important that
the development OF this end OF the mine
should be sufficiently extensive to give
reasonable assurance Of regular supply
OF pay rock before entering upon so
large an expenditure, but IL seem prob
able that in few months more the open
Ings will warrant the beginning of prep
arations for such an increase Of output"

that the Houghton club can beat the
Red Jackets in the proportion of ? to l..
A good many Red Jacket people who
have seen the two clubs play are doubt
iul of this, and purse will undoubtedly
be raised to cover the money OF the
Houghton man. The Houghton people
do not only claim to be able to defeat
the local aggregation, but to more than
double their score. good game will
probably result il arrangements can be
made that are satisfactory to both sides.
Some time ago the saloonkeepers and
cigarmakers met on the green diamond
and the latter club was defeated. They
took the defeat good-naturedly, but de-
cided to get even on the quiet. Since
then rumors that they have been assidu-
ously practicing without talking about
it have reached the ears of the victors,
but they thought nothing about it until
the cigarmakers proposed another game,
and came out with $50 to back up their
belief that they could win, and win easily. |
Arrangements have been perfected and |
he saloonkeepers covered the money.
The game will come off next Monday al
ernoon at the Athletic park and prom
ses to be even more interesting than the
asst one. The battery for the saloon
eepers will be Messner and Lind and for
he cigarmakers, Richards and. Sullivan
