SATAN'S CAMPAIGN.


Editor Representative:
Many poke fun, object and can't see
any use in tolling those court house bells
ally throughout the night But I think
their ringing may be made very instruc-
tive and useful Listen to them as pro-
claiming an address from Satan, inter-
preted in this wise,-
II speak from on top of my most art
full and beautiful monument, to erect
which l have already taken $4,000, 900
from the homes and property of one
county, a greater amount than was ever
anywhere on earth by any power for
any building captured from as small
number of people-about one-fifth as
much as the assessed valuation of all
they have for and in their homes, and
this has been done not in foreign un-
limited monarchy, but in the banner
city of land where they boast of hav-
ing the most advanced, republican free
government.
I intend this building for my earthly
headquarters. l conjured them to build
it for court house. In truth it is a
house where officials have plenty of time
and opportunity for counting of a kind
beautiful to gaze upon. l have here
more marble, beveled plate glass and
mirrors, silver furnishings, ETC., than
can be had in all the homes in the land.
A labrinthian hiding place for most of
the county taxes, extorted from needy
peoples comfort and prosperity for Of
fetal luxury and splendor.
From this, an earthly court of justice,
l show to some grumbling subjects in
my own decent He'll, what they do in
the name of justice here. How this
great pile was obtained by CONSUMPTION
and confiscating taxation. That such
an edifice was never asked for by the
people. That the managers persistently
refused requests for a vote of those
whose property they incumbered with
all the bills. 1t was all built by bonds,
not voluntary, honest dollar in it, for
it is not really thing of value, only a
tax and burden on true prosperity. l al
so show that in administration of their
justice they sometimes have taken
about thirty thousand dollars of good
citizens earnings and savings to give
lawyers and others a chance to try and
free one criminal after his guilt was
most clearly known to all; and $4,000
of their money to make comodious
retreat for about an everage number of
thirty Jail culprits; $4,000 apiece for
home furnishings and to keep them Sc
cure from jumping out of four story
windows, and such like samples of
earthly justice and good government.
Nearly all the lay out for this mill
stone prosperity l cause to be distrib-
uted to my faithful servants in the so
called Grand Old Party, which organiza-
ton propose to press into my service.
I call attention to the fact that for the
most difficult part of this achievement
l captivated from his post, as a good
servant of my enemy, and a great work.
er at any cause he can be set at, faith
full David M. Clodgh, placed him in the
state legislature to be my most active
and chief manager in starting and get
ting the necessary legislation for this
tombstone, and when Senator Wash
burn sickened lofs&he work and the en-
terprise Jagged made him president of
the commission, working the job, and
have had his iartful management and
interchangeable labor from start to finish.
To make him real governor of my Min
nesota Division 10 shall do great work,
for l have important things to accomp-
lish, a state houeet mansion to erect and
a mighty task !onpreventing the people
from rising and putting of my gold trap
subjugation scheme. l have bound the
people of Minneapolis into most meek
and beautiful tax servitude, and wish to
extend the same condition throughout
the state. The gold trap scheme is the
most taking and beats anything have
yet devised for the conquest of the earth.
There is nothing SO essential as pinch
ing poverty and an circulating debt
condition for rapidly pushing my con-
quests. In the past year I induced
nearly ten thousand from this free coun-
try to suicide and come to my region. I
am having unprecedented success and
pretty much my, own way in such gold,
standard countries as Italy and America.
It is fun to see the honest victims strug-
gle to pay their debts and not see me
stretching the debt measure just beyond
