The Iaster's Tirs, Meeting with His Sub

While sitting i'll my quarters in the
little town Of Chattanooga about an
hour after nightfall on the evening of
brought me a message from General
George Fl. Thomas, commander of the
Army of the Cumberland, OH whose
staff l was serving, ~summoning me to
headquarters A storm had been raging
for two days, and "a chilling rain was
still falling. A few minutes walk
brought me to the plain wooden, one
story dwelling occupied by the com.
mander, which was situated Oh Walnut
street, near Fourth. and upon my ar
rival l found him in the front room on
the left side of the hall, with three
members of his staff and several strange
officers.
In an armchair facing the fireplace
was seated Il general officer, slight in
figure and of medium stature, whose
face bore an expression of WEAKNESS.
He was carelessly dressed, and his uni
form coat was unhottoned and thrown
back from his chest. He held a lighted
cigar in his mouth and sat in Il stoop-
ing posture, with his head bent slightly
forward. His clothes were wet, and his
trousers and tophoots were spattered
with mud. General Thomas approached
this officer. and, turning to me and
mentioning me by name, said. 81 want
to present you to General Grant"
Thcreupon the officer seated i'll the
chair, without changing his position,
glanced up, extended his arm to its full
length, shook hands and said in n low
voice and speaking slowly, "How do
you do?' This was my first meeting
with the man with whom 1 was des-
tined afterward to spend SO many of The
most interesting years of my life.
The strange officers present were
members of General Grants staff.
Charles A. Dana, assistant secretary of

Editor Representative:
Several editors Of Norwegian papers are
busy just now attempting to ridlcule the
Populists and their platform. Among
these are the wisconsin Normanden"
and the "Skandinaven" The former
prints some of the worst nonsense ever
saw in print on any subject. 1t really
looks as if the editor was suffering from
an attack of delirium-tremens when he
wrote that mess. The paper is said to be
controlled by Senator SpOOner Of WiScOn-
sin, and was recently moved from Slough
ton to Madison. This sheet until lately adj
vocated the free coinage of silver but Is
now a gold-bug paper
The "Skandinaven" in Chicago, the
plutocratic organ, edited by Mr.. N. Grew
stad is also red-hot after the Populists.
This man was a radical in Norway and 4
defender of the rights of the COMMON
people-a follower of that radical leader
Saren Jaahek. He served for some time
as editor of Jim Hills Norwegian organ
in ST. Paul. and later wrote for the Min
neapolis Tribune. What a difference be-
tween the man now AM when he was in
his native land. 1 will bet 10 to that the
liberal party of Norway today would nos
recognize him in spite of the fact that
he is trying to prove that the rotten Re-
publican party is the real liberal party in
this country. This paper abused Mr.. Dom
nelly shamefully when he ran for gov
ernor; and no wonder when we read in the
| Minneapol Times about the distribution
| of the campaign fund Of which "Skandi-
maven" is claimed to have received 900
and other Norwegian papers $500. j un>

women wore the divided skirt, in the
shape of their husbands or brothers
pants, with none TO modest or make them

their own sex, a donlineering. tyrannical
young girl who robbed then, of the blessed
privilege, by causing. a law to be passed
preventing women from working in mines.

seeing woman and donkey pulling q

woman and COW pulling a drag; we our
self saw girls sweeping the streets in Paris,

but it is true nevertheless. that there are
thousands of women lying under the sod.
in this young Minnesota of ours, whose
premature deaths have been caused by
doing unwOmanly work.
This is "fddling while Rome is burning

Beecher Stowe states it. when a people

ations of our government are being de-
stroyed, we must leave to another letter.

Energy of the people makes strength;
and may It be 80 at the ballot box in the
fall Of 1896. We can see we are oppressed
by trusts and combines of all kinds. Plu-
tocrats and Gold Bugs have charge Of our
congress and legislature. A good many OF
the people, don't seem to know as much
as the cat did, when the wicked boy put
her in glass jar. The boy then began
to pump the air out Of the glass jar with
IN air pump. But when the cat found it
difficult to breathe she looked around and
found little hole through which the air
passed out. But she put her paw on the

WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

Editor Representative:
Will our republic be destroyed by our
misrepresentation Of the two old part
les? Or will the people open their eyes.
and establish government with equal
rights for all, and special privileges for
none?"
We certainly should throw off the
shackles of Great Britain, assert our
manhood, and show to the world that we
are capable of self-government II Eng
land desires golden calf, let her have
1T, but we should shun It, as we would
shun the ID.
In conclusion I would say, let us have
silver and gold, as we had them up to
1873, at the ratio of 16 to Land suppliment
any deficiency with legal tender treasury
notes, or as Coxey has it-non-interest-
bearing bonds. When the charters of tho
national banks expire, let the banks also
die.
In due time let us demolish all Of the
villianous trusts and monopolies. But
let it be done justly. Let US also settle
the land question with justice to all
When these things are done we will have
prosperous people.
