EDrroR LEADER:-Your article in last
weeks LEADER IN reference TO me was,
TO the uninitiated, very misleading, and
will not say that it was unintentional,
but under the construction, you made it
to appear US sweet morsal to Pettigrew-
ism. OF coarse it was your opportunity
and you embraced it, now you will kind
ly take the sequel in as plain English AS
can command, and ii there is any 1G to
l about it. you are entirely welcome to
all the com fort there Is in it. You know
that some time ago told you that the
Republicans would send Pettlgrew into
your camp from the toes of their boots.
Has it been sufficiently verified? We
have unloaded onto your shoulders the
most oppressive burden chat any party
has been able to carry and survive, and
when you have borne the load MS long as
we have you will cry out in your an
guish, How long, oh Lord, how long
wilt thou afflict our people? We are
daily suffering for his sins of omission
and commission, but with the load re-
moved, breathe freer and though should
we meet political defeat. we could still
say it is we'll, but we do not expect such
will be the case, as we will now be free
to select such men as will be credit to
any party. While you will have to sub
nit to such a boss as you never had be-
fore, and the small contribution made
YOU, will renew often as long as you
keep the Senator in your ranks.
Respectfully yours,
G. A. SOUTH.

Z The glorious 4th is near at hand.
The evenings are cool and pleasant,
bright and lovely. A walk or ride in the

yet the .Helgelander" boys tail to come

Several Of the young people attended

We are in dou BIT as to where sister Phoebe
is operating, but brother Jack. we are

The reason why Sven Swenson is feel

some little baby girl arrived at mis- home
recently.
Miss Tillie Lunder closed q very sue.
cessful term OF school here last Friday.

| A Jewsih Rabbi invoked Jehova's bes-
sings on the political gathering OF gold
bugs at St. Leuis. His name wasn't Shy

to be something connected with sale, =
which was quite appropriate, as the Re-
publican party sold out to England and
Wall street gold bugs and capitalists. In
their platform they indirectly declare In
favor Of woman suffrage, on condition
that we support their party-what an In
suit to the women of America-and on
the temperance question. why, just think
Of it. they actually extend their sympa-
