LOCAL HAPPENINGS
L,urid Libel.

ASsOGAs
At least the the announcement that Judge
Wilcox will or has commenced an action
for libel against the ,uembers of the city
council, is very luridly told by the bloody
reporter OF the st. Cloud Joxrnal.Pyess. He
says:
.sThe pale moon occasionally looks down
Cd Sank Centre. Prospects are said TO be
very good that said moons face will soon be
flushed, and the alleged reason for this
gentle blush which astronomers will find
diffused over the countena ce of the gentle
Luna is that war. cruel, bitter war, has
broken out in Sauk Centre between the
august board OF aldermen. parties of the
FIRST part, and His Worship, Lord Chief JUS
tice Wilcox, party Of the second part. The
Ratchet which has been buried In the pub
lie cemetry, everv since Hole-in- the day held
high carnival just across the roaring Sank,
will be disinterred from Its resting place,
painted q bright carmine and again made
to do Its cruel duty. The story of the wrongs
under which the chief justice has suffered
is not long, but It's length is no criterion of
its exquisite torture. What greater wrong
can be imposed en- dispenser of justice,
than to reduce his salary? There Is but
one. and that is to withhold 1t from him in
its entirety. This has been done. But the
servant appealed to his mistress for aid in
overthrowing his enemies Justice in a
moment OF feeling tore the bandages from
her eyes, and wreaked swift velgence on
those who would deprive the strong arm Of
the law OF its strength. For what Is justice
deprived of his salary, may we'll be asked,
The things that were Wilcox's were rem
dered unto Wilcox.
But this was only a beginniDg. The board
of aldermen, defeated in their inhuman
hope to rob the woolsack of Its softness,
arose in their might and passed resolutions,
ALI know to what ends q board of aldermen
will go when forced by tho pressure of CIR
cumstances, The resolutions were drawn
and passed by the six aldermen. They were
bitter in their denunciation of The lord chief
justice of Sank Centre. They assaiIed his
official character; an intimation that his
services were not worth the reasonable sum
ofeight hundred pluuks was made and spread
upon the records Of the city council. These
were printed in the Sank Centre Herald, a
paper of general circulation-in Franklin
county-that he who ran might read. 1t
does not appear that the Splinter read, but
the justice did, and the prelimjnaries have
been attended to, actual war will soon be
commenced. Fearing thar the lawyers of
his home tow N might be in the league with
the further TACT that a st. Cloud attorney
had forced the council TO disgorge and pay
him his back salary, the bench came to st.
Cloud. One of its brightest legal luminaries
was sought out, and suit for damages for
libel will in the near future be Instituted
1t shall be seen whether or not Justices
eldest son can be ridden with resolutions
and assai1ed through the public press 1t
shall be seen, ii is repeated

POPULIST CONTENTION.

By decisive majority, 1912 to
321, the populists nominated Bryan
for president. They put up Wat
son as his running mate and left
Sewall out in the cold. This was
done to appease the middle-of-the-
road populists. The executive
committee was given full powers,
which means that they can with
draw Watson if they see fit. The
wisdom of nominating populist
with Bryan is doubted. II is to be
hoped that Watson will withdraw,
as his presence in the field mixes
up matters considerably. There is
some talk Of Bryan's refusing the
populist nomination. The heads
OF the executive committee are
comforting to decide upon the wisest
course. 1t is to be hoped that the
silver strength will not be scattered.
The chances Of success should not
be endangered by any false pride
on the part Of the populists. By
helping the democrats they can
insure the election Of free-silver
president. Afterwards they can
get back in the middle of the.road
and work for the other planks in
their platform. Let the ailver
forces now remain strongly united
for victory.

The Sacramento Bee, q republi-
can paper Of forty yerrs standing
writes its yaledictory to the modern
republican party. Among other
good things, it says; Standing
thus as republican paper-proud
Of its past and conscientious Of its
present-The Bee declares that ii
will not follow the republican party
into its house Of bondage, into its
land of captivity, into its slavery
to the kings Of Wall street. 1t will
not sacrifice its manhood and de-
srade its honor--it will not bastard
ize its republicanism--by bowling
the knee to Mammon and accepting
as an article of faith a declaration
Of princiciple antagonistic to every
interest of the people, destructive
Of the welfare and corroding to the
progress of the nation, and bene-
fetal only to those who fatten and
thrive upon the very life blood Of
the masses. 1t will not-it cannot
remain silent during the coming
campaign, and not point out the
base use to which the glorious
republican party has been put-an
organization at whose birth liberty
herself smiled, transformed into q
mere capper, for the money iugglers
and the gold gamblers.

So THE loss Of the treasury gold
reserve 10 TO be stopped, and the
New YORK bankers are to do it.
Thirteen million dollars Of reserve
went Englandward in ten short
days, and it came to the pass
where it was either a bond sale,
or aid from the New England and
New York banks. A bond sale now
the bankers reasoned, would bring
the attention Of the country to a
defect in the single gold standard
system, and show the people how
the perpetustion Of that standard
was fastening an ever-increasing
bonded debt upon the country. 1t
would be poison to the chances Of a
gold standard victory at the polls
in November, and it had to be
averted. So the bankers held a
meeting, and J.P. Morgan presided.
Mr.. Morgan was member of that
Anglo-American syndicate that
made ten million dollars out Of a
sixty million dollar bond sale few
short months ago. OF course the
meeting agreed that the present
loss ofgold reserve must be checked
And they evolved q plan to do It.

The Oregonisn and other gold
bug papers, in their wrath and
dismay, are STOPPING to do very
mean little things to turn the
minds of the people against Bryan
and Sewall. They have published
what they claim to be the list Of
articles upon which Bryan pays
taxes, and they seem to take a
sneering delight in the poverty Of
the. democratic nominee for presi-
dent. They forget the disastrous
financial mess in which Mckinley
got and the handsome sums con-
tributed by his friends and those
who wanted 70 place q possible
under obligationsto to them.
Mckinley was probably blameless
but this unfortunate financial
ought to silence any carp
ing criticism Of Bryan's poverty.
This is a poor mans country and
this poor mans election. There
is no disgrace in poverty, and the
honest, toiling voter will resent SO
base and shameless attempts of
goldbugs to sneer at the
peoples candidate-W. ]. Bryan.

AFdLSE CHARGE.

The hopes Of the common people
OF the country are fast centering
upon Bryan. They see no light
ahesd in following the lead Of
Cleveland democrats or Mckinley
republicans. Both tend toward
monopolies, trusts and combines,
in which the people have no inter
est except to crush. It is squarely
afight between grinding monopclies
and down.trodden masses. Cleve-
land democrats would force the
gold standard upon an unwilling
people, and Mckinley republicans
would do all of this and then add
to it all the misery of a high tariff.
There is no hope for the people
between these two evils. They are
between the Egyptians and the Red
Sea. Bryan is the leader that q
merciful providence has raised up
todeliver the people from the hands
Of their oppressors. The people
believe in him and they will en-
phasize their belief with the ballot.
They see in him their only safety.
The gold-hug press are frantic with
fear. To stem the tide and turn it
toward Mckinley, the press is try
ing to spread the belief that Bryan
is q mere socialist, an anarchist.
who would reyolutionize the gov
ernment and con6scate the wealth
Of the rich. This is a base and
wilful slander. They do not be-
1ieye it nor will the people for one
moment listen to such nonsense.
Bryan has . stainless life, private
and public. His poverty Indicates
his honesty. He mas no sympathy
with the money power Of the land.
He is the peoples friend and their
champion. Wall street, the hot
bed of trusts, is denouncing him.
This proves his friendship for the
masses. Wall street is hurrahing
for Mckinley. They never hurrah
for q man who is opposed to their
interests. They nominated Nc
Kinley long before the st. Louis
convention and their ill-gotten
wealth is now flowing into his cam
paign fund. These trusts have
always robbed the people, and this
same money is being aavishly used
to fasten McKinleyism upon the
people. These splutocrats Of Wall
street are yellingthat Bryan is full
Of populistic principles, in order to
turn the sober thinking element
against him. This is untrue, in
the sense in which it is meant.
But even if Bryan has populistic
ideas, there are worse things than
the ideas Of populists. We do not
endorse many things that the rad
ical element Of the party supports,
but we fail to see wherein their
worst ideas are any moredangerous
than Mark Hanna and his unscrup-
ulous corporations, trusts and com
bines. The very existence Of the
populist party was brought about
blythe over-reaching dishonesty and
heartless oppression maintained by
Hanna's friends and McKinley's
supporters. The republican ticket
has no hope for the masses. Their
only salvation is in Bryan.

SWEET JASMINE.
This Fragrant Flower Became tho
Symbol OF Marriage.

bng before orange blossoms became
R1ciated with weddings the fragrant
!. 5smino was commonly used for the
decoration of II bride. A very pretty leg
end of ancient Tuscany tells how this
little blossom became the symbol Of
love. A traveller, returning from tho
warm countries Of Asia, brought home
with him a rare tropical plant-tho jas
mine-whichw was unknown in Tuscany.
He gave a small slip to q certain duke,
who set it among his most treasured
plants, where it rooted and thrived I'M
der tho care Of the gardener and soon
grew to be u good sized plant Tho
duke was SO proud Of his rare possession
that he gave strict orders to his garden
er to guard the plant carefully and on
\ no account to. give aver a slip-not u
hower-to any person.
The gardener was q good young man,
and he would have been faithful to his
charge had no not happened to fall in
love with the sweetest peasant maid in
all Tuscany. The maid was poor and
her lover was not much richer, so they
were unable to marry. On tho birthday
OF the peasant the gardener, having
nothing else to give the maid Of his
choice, presented her with q bouquet Of
flowers, and among the other clippings
in the bunch there was one from the
duke cherished jasmine bush. Nothing
could be too good for the gardeners
maiden, SO in this one instance he re-
Taxed his care Of the shrub. The girl,
ndmiring the fresh buds Of the sprig,
wished to preserve it, and SO placed it
in the ground, where it rooted and re-
manned fresh and green all winter, thus
symbolizing her love for the gardener,
and in the following spring it grew and
was covered with blossoms. The little
bush fourished and tho flowers multi
piled so under the maiden's care that
she was able to sell many of the sprigs
for a considerable sum, thus spreading
the unknown flower abroad; and in a
short time, with q spray Of the precious
love token on her breast she was we'd
ded to the happy gardener.
To this day the Tuscan girls preserve
the remembrance of the gardeners gift
to his sweetheart by wearing q nosegay
of sweet jasmine on their wedding day,
and they have Il proyorb which SAYS q
young girl wearing such a sprig is rich
enough TO make the fortune Of Il poor
husband. Philadelphia Press.
