st. Paul, Mimi, Oct 81, 1897.
Editor Representative:
The POpulists of Ramsey county, and
especially those within the city of St.
Paul, are becoming agtated over what
appears to be a movement on the part
of the local Democracy to again buncOe
them. Political committees recently be-
came active in the matter of securing
final citizenship papers for the voters
of this city. There will be a municipal
election this spring in St. Paul. We
find the Republican and Democratic city
and county committees both active in
securing citizenship papers for voters of
their respective parties. We find the
Populist city and county committees
both inactive up to the present, and
only for the partisan zeal displayed by
the chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee In appointing Populists we
would have no representation in secur-
ing citizenship papers for Populists vo-
tiers. This work is being done in a
systematic manner by the two old par
ties, who appoint committees to look
over the poll-lists of the last election
and ascertain who will require second
papers; then they go and call upon
those voters and furnish them with an
order upon the clerk of courts of Ram
sey county, who has agreed to furnish
papers free of cost to any citizen who
was too poor to pay for same. It will
be seen that Populists under this ar
rangement will receive cold consola-
ton from the representatives of the
old parties. What is the matter with
the Populist city and county committees
calling joint meeting and taking this
matter up as POPULISTS, and not sub
NIT to being taken in" again by the
local Democracy? Did we not have
enough of that sort of thing last fall
when they openly repudiated and insult
ed us at every turn? Has the Peoples
| party not grown to such size, import
ance and influence, that it need not SUBJ

The Cause Of Fear.

Why is capital timid? OF what is cap
dence?" Did you ever ask yourself these
questions? The answer is found in two
words, 'the people" Capital Is timid
because it doubts if the people will much
longer consent to be robbed. It is afraid
that the people will affirm their right
to rule. It's confidence" is determined
by the relative stupidity or intelligence
of the people. Hence capital deplcres
any agitation of any public question.
Hence capital urges six year term for a
president. Hence capital breaches the
virtue of resignation and submission
to all manner of wrongs.-New Time.

Once for Defense and Again to
an Attorney.
A young attorney in the Police Court
attempted TO lay down the law to Judge
Wilcox yesterday morning, but he
found himself sadly worsted in the
end.
A Portuguese, Nobriga by name, was
on trial fro drunkenness. The young
lawyer explained that his client was
subject to epileptic fits and that it was
during one of these that he was ar
rested for drunkenness Furthermore,
he accused the officer Of using Nobriga
so roughly that the fit was made worse
and a resultant stupor, very much like
that produced by drunkenness, was pro-
duced.
Judge Wilcox asked the young law
yer why he did not swear out-a war
rant for the arrest of the officer who
had used Nobriga so violently, where
upon the latter answered that it would
be of no use to accuse Police officer.
He would simply be brought up in the
Police Court and declared innocent.
Judge Wilcox gave his young friend
one look. and then delivered sermon
with the result that the young lawyer
kept his place and Nobriga got fined
with the common defendants.

A DIAMOND BRINGS ILL-LUCK

Some years ago a Paris jeweler told
a story Of one diamond which had
passed over his counter no less than
II times. It was a beautiful stone of
nearly four carats, of perfect color and
luster, but easily identified by means
of a small feather" in the tip of the
lowest part. He bought it from an
East India dealer and had it set in
1869, just before the outbreak of the
Franco-Prussian war. The countess
died in a few weeks and the ring was
worn by her husband. He was killed
in the siege Of Paris and a few days
after his death the ring was brought
into the store for sale by a common
soldier. He was arrested and the ring
sent to the family of the dead count.
Before the siege ended they brought
in the ring and sold it to the dealer
in order to procure money to buy
food. Directly after the siege it passed
into the hands of an English tourist
who visited the city to get a look at
the ruin wrought by the communists
and year later back came the stone
from the Indian buyer of the firm,
who, on being written to and desired
to tell how he got it, stated that it
had been the property of an English |
tourist hunter who was killed by a !
tiger, and his friends sold the ring to |
get means to send his body home
The stone was reset and soon found
purchaser in a prominent member of
the demi-monde who not long after
was murdered in her room. Among
he articles taken by the murderer was
he ring, and the firm began to wonder
low soon it would turn up They had
lot long to wait for all their people
lad by this time learned about the
stone and were on the lookout for it.

DELICIOUS PRESERVES.

Citron Preserve.-Cut the citron in
slices one inch thick, beginning at the
stem end, then remove the rind and
seeds and cut each into several uniform
pieces. Soak it over night in strongly
sailed water. In the morning soak in
cold water and change the water until
the citron is freshened. Then parboil
it, ten minutes, in water with a tea
spoonful of alum. Drain and weigh
the fruit, and to every two pounds of
fruit allow a pound and a half of
sugar, half a lemon and half an ounce
of preserved or candied ginger. Make
a syrup with one pint of water to each
pound of sugar. Boil and skim it.
Then add the citron and skim it until
it is clear and tender. Drain the
fruit from the syrup and put it on
large plates to harden. The next
morning cut the lemon in thin slices
and cook it in water to cover until
tender. Put the syrup on to boil
again, and when the lemon is tender
put it into the syrup, add the water
also, if not bitter, then the ginger cut
in thin pieces and the citron. Boil
gently long enough to thoroughly heat
the citron, then put at once into jars
and seal.

After six months it was found in the

had bought it from a firm in Amster

and sent back to be started afresh ON
its travels. 1t was purchased again by
a woman of the town, who, six weeks
later was drawn out of the Seine with
the gem on her finger, and by a strange
coincidence it was offered to the firm
that sold it by the police agents. the

JAPANESE LAWS.
Hearn Writes Of the Ancient Customs
Of Japan.

Private conduct was regulated by
some remarkable obligations entirely
outside of written codes. peasant
girl, before marriage, enjoyed far more
liberty than was permitted to city
girls. She might be known to have
a lover; and unless her parents OBJ
jected very strongly, no blame would
be given to her; it was regarded as an
honest union-honest, at least, as to
intention. But having once made a
choice, says Hearn in the December
Atlantic, if it were discovered that
she met another admirer secretly the
PEOPLE would strip her naked-allow-
| ing her only shuro leaf for an apron
and drive her in mockery through
every street and ALLEY of the village
Afterward the girl was sentenced to
Punishment for five years. But at the
end of that period she was considered
to have expiated her fault, and she
could return home with the certainty
of being spared further reproacheS.
The obligation of mutual help in
time of calamity or danger was the
utCoI vi SiiI OD~
legations. In time of fire, especially,
everybody was required to give i'm
mediate aid to the best of his ability.
Even children were not exempted from
this duty. In towns and cities of
course, things were differently or
! dered; but in any little country village
the universal duty was very plain and
! simple, and its neglect would have
been considered objectionable.
This obligation of mutual help ex-
tended to religious matters; everybody
was expected to invoke the help Of
! the gods for the sick. For example,
the entire village might be ordered to
make a sendo mari on behalf of some
one seriously i'll. On such occasions
the Kumi-cho leach Kumi-cho was re-
sponsible for the conduct of five or
more families) would run from house
to house crying: Such and such a
one is very sick; kindly hasten all to
make a sendo-mairi!' Tfhereupon, how
ever occupied for the moment, every
soul in the settlement was expected to
hurry to the temple-taking care not
to trip or stumble on the way, as a
single misstep during the performance
of a sendo- mairi was believed to mean
| misfortune for the sick

A NEW YEARS PRAYER.

It's walls are dim and low,
1 know a little temple,
Yet up and down it's darkened aisles
The blessed angels go.
And he who keeps the temple
Should pray to God tonight
That faith may light the altar flame
And hope may keep it bright;
That love may bring the sacrifice
Which love delights to give,
And all the angels innocent
May tarTy there to live.
And may no evil spirit
Have in it place or part.
What is this temple beautiful?
The temple Of the heart.
