Staniea Is All Right.

There are a few-very few-papers
in Minnesota that pretend 70. believe ir
free silver and Bryan. Each and ever.
one Of these sheets has copied the
statement sent the Penny Press fron
this city, by an irresponsible partr
that Hon. Isaac Staples had declared
for free silver. Mr.. Staples has au-
thorized the statement to Cashier Da-
Wis, of the Lumberlnan's bank, of which
Mr.. Staples is president, that it is a
lie. pure and simple, and that no man
had or has any authority to make such
a statement as coming from him. But
it is hard work to overtake q lie, as
truth with leaden heel is slow of
foot. but gets there after a while. Mr..
Staples does not believe in free silver.
but in honest money, first, last and all
the time--Stillwate Gazette.

A Shameless Avowa1.

The Bryan and Towne organ In Du-
luth, the, Herald, has the following
villainous editorial paragraph:

Sickles car load Of generals free of cost

contracts for carrying the mails are
awarded by the Bryan administration.
That is to say, the Bryan admins
tration, when it CONES to let mail con-
tracts will not be governed by business
considerations and let them to the low
est responsible bidder. but will use the
patronage Of the government to punish
enemies and reward friends. This Is
a shameless avowal of the spoils pro-
gramme OF the Bryanites. but we pre-
sumo it is correct.-Minneap0lis Trib-

THE Chicago Record has gone into
an enormous undertaking in it's postal
card vote. The cost Of the undertake
ing will amount to between $4,000
and 100000. 1t is purelya journalistic
enterprise and absolutely non-partisan
in purpose and execution. All four
national committees have endorsed if

sPETER SHOULD PRAY"

Anything that exposes the law
less and anarchistic doings of the
mining bosses at election times up
on the ranges makes such tools
and slaves of the Minnesota Iron
company, as the Ely Miner is very
tired, and the Hustler proposes to
see that the tired feeling does not
pass away until ballot box frauds
UP there are stopped, or a few
lawless corporation hirelings are
boarding at Saltwater"
In the above paragraph, Mr.. j.
L.Morrison, editor of the Hustler,
positively asserts that no election
ever held on the ranges has been
honestly conducted. He not only
besmirches the ranges but every
citizen of the same who has in its
history been connected with any
of the elections as judges and
clerks by accusing them, each and
all, of countenancing dishonest
methods, when at the same time
be knows he is maliciously telling
an untruth for political purposes.
In the efforts to array labor against
capital, scruples cut no ice as long
as the end is attained. That cleo
tions have been fairly conducted
on the ranges, he can take the tes-
timony of the numerous sleuth
mounds his party has had here on
election days. Many dollars have
been spent here in hiring detect
ives in the efforts of the Democrat
and Populist parties to find ono
place where fraud had been per-
petrated. Besides, every election
beard on record has been con-
posaa OF the requisite members CT

also tries to prove dishonesty on
the part of his friends.
s'Let Brother Schaefer read in
another column the article from
the paper which he was imported
to Ely to run out of business, to-
gether with additional facts gath
cred by the Hustler, and then see
if he dare assert that coercion is
an utter 'impossibility' up in his
neck O. the woods"
The article in question to which
the Hustler refers, is the James
Simpson affair at Winton. Mr..
Simpson is at present employed
with the Knox Lumber company
and will be all winter. We do
not believe Jas. Simpson author
lied the article but in their zeal
to bring it to bear on the voters,
the party leaders dished up the
story for their, own edification.
To make statement and to sub
stantiate the same are two ques-
tions. 1t remains to be proven.
In regards to the statement made
of our being imported to Ely to
run any man out of business, we
defy either Editor Morrison or
any of his party ilk, or in fact
anyone to prove it. 1t is a LIE
pure and simple and the party
who informed the Hustler that
such is the case is nothing more
nor less than liar.
''Let Brother Sehaefer look at
the little red cards used by the
hired hands of the Minnesota Iron
company to control the votes of
the ignorant or helpless European
miners and then see if he dare as
sert that coercion is an utter i'm
possibility" x X "Under the
Australian ballot, fraud is impos-
sible if the law were observed, but
it is not"
This accusation is rather hard
for one of Mr.. Morrison's stamp
to hurl into the teeth of American
citizens. Fraud is impossible un-
der the law but it is not observed.
If this is settled fact then why
does not Morrison, as citizen of
America, see that it is observed?
Why did not the Democratic and
Populist judges on the various
boards see to it that their party
was not cheated? Why did not
the detectives discover the fraud
or were they also ''bought" and
classed in as tools of the Minneso-
to Iron company? In the matter
of ''little red tickets" it. would be
wise for the Hustler to keep still.
The ranges are flooded with ''little
red tickets and they are not. Slit
tie red Republican tickets" either.
''The best proof, aside from
affidayitS and statements made by
eye witnesses of such outrages, es-
pecially: those of four years ago,
is the fact, that on the Mesaba
range and in precincts where such
methods of coercion are not at
tempted or are impossible, the
vote does not 60 SO nearly unani-
mously Republican"
Could it have been possible that
in the precints mentioned above
there were a majority of anti-Re-,
publican judges of election, clerks,
captains and bosses? 1t is just as
fair to suppose that a few crooks
live outside OF the Republican
party as it is to suppose that all
Republicans are ''crooks" which
seems to be the hue and cry of the
Demo-pop organs. John Lind,
the Fusion candidate for governor
is quoted as saying, Cali Demo
Gratis are not horse-theives, but

until he proves himself honest. If
Bro. Morrison has proofs in the
shape of eye witnesses and afiida-
vitslas he claims he can produce,
let us have them. Now is the
time to produce them. 1t may be
the case however that his finer |
feelings would not allow him to
convict any of this ''illiterate Cor
nish" class and send them to Still
water where he claims they belong.
eye witnesses" in political times
are altogether too numerous and
perjurers 90 to Saltwater.
THE Ely Miner well may |
squirm. The ballot box methods
of Joseph Sellwood and John Pen
gilly must 90. If Brother Schaef-
er defends them, he is equally
guilty and deserving of condemna-
ton and adherence by all honest
men,"
In our dealings with the above
gentlemen during the past six
years, we have found them per-
fectly honorable. What we have
seen of Manager Pengilly's ballot
box methods during the years we
have attended Ely elections, we
feel assured were no violations of
the law. The judges of election
substantiate these lines. We will
consider Mr.. Pengilly and every
one in Ely honest until Bro. Nor
rison proves them dishonest, and
good evidence will be required.
''Still further, if a miner is al
lowed to mark his own ballot, it is
an easy matter to take his name
and lumber and look up later how
he voted and punish him by loss
of employment if he voted against
the wishes of the anarchistic plu-
tocrats owning the mines"
What dwelling rot! This last
statement proves very conclusively
that Bro. Morrison does not know
any more of the election law than
he does of the condition of affairs
in this country.
During the last national election
the judges in one the wards where
over 800 votes were cast,
only marked for voters
something like IL ballots. Judges
who have been On the board nearly
every year, cannot remember OF
ever having seen one of those Cit
tie red tickets" This is no idle
boast and the records will prove
it.
In regards to prayer and re-
pentance, we will admit that we
do not do enough of the former
but the latter we have no rea-
son to do. Send up your detectives
on election day and if you find
fraud enough to convict anyone OF
the people whom you have
maligned we will take our chances
with the rest at Saltwater. We
will there have a.chance to repent
after we have something to repent
for.
One fact remains no viewer, the
cartoon which has caused this
futter on the part of the Hustler,
has been sent to the Democratic
and Populist papers of the county
without an exception-and all
have refused to publish the same
excepting the Hibbing Sentinel.
This cannot be denied. 1t was
too "dirty' to even besmear the
pages of Demo-pop organ. The
papers dare not publish it for
they know full well that it is a
libel on the citizens of any town
in the county.

the public's standpoint, it does.

The Wearing of Shoulder Straps.

A number of women have hope
lessly deformed their shoulders by
the wearing of shoulder straps, said
q physical culture enthusiast the
other day, to class Of ladies. The
weight of the skirts ON the straps
has worn little burrows in the heavy
muscles of the shoulders. Just
notice the shape of women who
wear narrow straps. Of course, il
is not observable when they are
dressed in ordinary costume, but in
evening dress ! can pick out every
one in the room who is in the habit
of wearing straps.
The proper thing is a fitted waist
with heavy material set in around
the arm holes and down the sides
as stays Or strengthening pieces. To
these are attached the buttons or
hooks that sustain the weight of
the skirts and hose.
It is absolute SUICIDE to hitch
these things upon the ordinary
corset. That throws the whole of
the weight upon the body below
the waist and is the cause of more
distress than one can well imagine.
There are great many people who
could not be induced to put shoulder
straps on growing children; indeed,
the waist is in every respect more
desirable. 1t need not be high in
the peck, bpt should cover the
curve of the shoulders SO that the
weight of the garments may resi-
evenly qyep them.
The physical oultuPist has a
wide field, and the time is coming
when the possibility of developing
the figure of a child will be studied
aS carefully as the development of
the mind.

thumbs at the corners of his eyes
and cried, "Stir hand and out
they will come-your eyes-for my
bones"
And he did not stir till her fury
was gone. Then he made her sit
down and eat with him, and after
ward she said softly to him, and
without laugh:
"Why should the people say,
'Golgothar is our shame, for he has
a great strength, and yet he does
nothing but throw great stones for
sport into the sea?'"
He had the simple mind of a
child, and he listened to her par
tiently, and at last got up and be-
gan preparing for journey, clean
ing all his weapons and gathering
them together. She understood
him, and she said, with little
laugh like music:
"One strong man is better than a
hundred. A little key will open
great door easier than a hundred
hammers. What is the strength Of
a hundred bullOckS without thiS?N
she added, tapping him on the
forehead.
Then they sat down and talked
together quiely for long time, and
at sunset she saw him start away
upon great errands. And before two
years had gone Nooni, the city, was
taken, the chain wall Of the rebels
