There were five fights in Humboldt
last Saturday as a result of the insults
to the Generals, and w. T. McElroy
says that at least twenty men who

and they were going to vote for

While some of his neighbors were stand
Ing around on the street corner listening
to a fellow discourse on the woes of the
farmer last week, Mr.. Green of Belle Plain,
slipped out of the crowd, rounded up twenty
one Of his 2.year-old steers and sold them
for S6OO.-Adu and Breeze.
And, by-the-way, if it is 200-cent
dollars we haven now, isn't $50 head
a pretty good price for 2-year-old
steers?

Enc Gleason, of Hum boldt, got into
trouble twice last week by putting
his faith in the Pop. orators who are
saying that there is no gold in circu-
lation now. One day he offered Capt.
Brunson a quarter if he would get him
$40 in gold. The Captain took his SO
in currency into the bank, exchanged
it at par for $40 in gold, and took Mr..
GleasOn's quarter. Another time MIR.
Gleason made a bet with Andy
Wedin that be couldn't get 500 in
gold in the county. Andy took his
500 to the bank, exchanged it at par
for gold ard won his money. Mr..
Cunningham told US the other day
that on last Friday he offered gold to
not less than dozen men in payment
for checks, and they every one refused
it.

1t is reported that a lot of silver
men surrounded Gen Ayers car at
last Saturday, and made
such a disturbance yelling Tor Bryan
that the speakers could not be heard.
Such conduct is disgrace to Ameri-
can citizenship. And yet what else
could be expected from the common
members of party whose official
head goes about over the land declar-
ing that every man who does not sup
port him is an enemy to his country,
and that the people ought to rise up
against the advocates of the gold
standard as they would against an
army with banners The rowdyism
at Humboldt, the spirit of intolerance
which would not give respectful hear
ing even to men to whom the whole
country ought to bow in gratitude for
their great services during the war, is
only carrying into practice the doc
trine Of class hatred which Mr.. Bryan
teaches in all his speeches.
So
We understand that come of our
Populist friends who heard the speech
made at LaHarpe by the editor of the
REGISTER, are going about saying
hat it was call pack of lies" 1t is
\ common thing for the man who is
beaten in an argument to call the
,ther fellow liar, but it is as dis
reputable as it is common, and in
)rder to put an end to it in this par
ocular case we have this proposition
% make: Let any one who heard the
i eech submit to US list of the state
