and, consequently, the rank and file
are selected men, the very flower of the
youth of America. No one is enlisted
who cannot pass severe medical eX-
animation, or who is not acceptable as
companion and friend to his future
comrades; and while Il captain has a
legal right to enlist any man, subject to
the approval of the colonel and sur
geOn, he seldom exercises this right
without unofticially consulting his men.
SO great is the conservatism and eX-
clusiveness in some regiments that

try is not IAN officer and gentleman"

being meant not person who is not in
trade, but person with the manners
and feelings of gentleman, and no one
who is likely to disgrace the Guard is
admitted. If a mistake is made the
man is expelled, as from club, and
expulsion is a disgrace keenly felt.

.Wa1hington, Dec. 2S.-CongresSman
Chas. A. Towne. who will soon retire
from the house of representatives.,
will be the free silver Popocratic can
didate for governor of Minnesota in
1898. This is the. story that comes
floating down from the North Star
state, and some of the irreverent
among the Minnesota colony in Wash
ingtOn say that it is Christmas carol
from Duluth. Nevertheless, there is
something in the report, for the lead
ing silver men here are talking about
it The plan contemplated among the
fusion forces, 1t is said, is to run
Towne for governor, and also try and
capture the Legislature for the pur-
pose of electing United States sena-
tor to succeed Davis.
John Lind is the man who has been
selected for the senatorial candidate.
The next election will occur in an off
year and the Popocrats are laying
wires in several states to capture the
legislature. 1t is said that w. j. Bry-
an will stump Minnesota for Towne
and Lind in 1898. 1t is the plan Of
the silver men in both house and sem
ate to make several speeches during
the present short session on the
money question. Not so much for EN-.
bellishing the Congressional Record, as
for the privilege that will be afforded
them OF sending the speeches all over
the country in franked envelopes, and
keeping up the agitation until the
next campaign opens in earnest.

CHRISTMAS carroll OF VIM. MCKINLEY AND
MARCUS HANNACUSS.

(For the Representative
Good Lord, we lead all honest men,
When the G. o. P. sends out it's call,
Outside of its regulation pen,
There are no honest men at all.
In this modern day workman's thief,
Who from thy earth, would keep It's
treasures,
So we take them, for his souls relief,
BY wise and just and legal measures.
For. the Lord, he gives to those who
hold,
Who force from buyer and from seller,
Lord, maintain this rule, give us thy
gold,
The same as to pious Rockefeller.
And We'll still pay to win thy battles,
For the honest faithful and thy glory,
This plan, the ragged sinner rattles,
And tells him plainly the whole story.
That the great sermon on the mount,
Which in the past made duty plain,
Is now superseded and don't count,
From this time on, tbs gold must reign.
For gold and God are all the same,
And on the dollar as of old,
The four words, In God we trust"
Must now be changed to trust in
gold"
So take due notice, We common horde.
Accept the crumbs, We agitators,
And be content and praise the Lord,
That you are not Repudiators.
Obey your masters, serve them we1l,
You have no rights even at the polls
But to vote for God (gold) in spite of
hell
Never mind your bodies, save your
souls.
