LIND WINS.

He, Gets Judgment for 5000.
We are glad to chronicle the fact that
our honored leader, John Lind, has won
his suit against the st. Paul Dispatch
and obtained verdict for 5000. for
damages, besides the cost of the action
This will teach the Republican papers
lesson. They have got to tell the
truth about the Populists painful as
the process may be) or pay the piper.
The st. Paul Dispatch of April 10th,
contains the following notice:
"1gnatius Donnelly has brought a suit
against the Pioneer Press company for
Islander. alleging damages in the sum OF
$50 900. On March 6 the defendant en-
tied the choicest slop-buckets OF its
| spleen on the plaintiff, and hence the &C
| ton brought by him.
The editorial was prompted by letter
written by Charles Il. Mackean gratuit-
ously in the newspapers.
Mr.. Donnelly had made speech in the
state senate on the occasion Of the re-
tirement of President Cleveland, and the
inauguration of President Mckinley, and
| in that speech said severe things of
President Cleveland. This speech was
the subject of the comments of Mackean
and the defendant. The defendant called
| Mr.. Donnelly Populist scold, mounte-
bank, buffoon and other choice names.
Dickson and Donnelly bring the action.
We hope every populist who is libeled
| will "go" for the slanderer. We have
but few newspapers and the enemy have
a legion-let us then teach them to be-
have themselves.
It is great pleasure to think that our
| action, years ago, against the same vii
famous Pioneer Press, while it brought
| us Through the corruption Of the jury
but one dollar damages, cleared our re-
putation Of vast array of ISLANDERS, and
cost that sweet sheet $4,000 for costs
and attorney fees; and that this outlay
helped to send Wheelock and Driscoll
down hill to pauperism
The paper is now tottering on it's scrof-
ulous shanks, and we hope in about
three months to bury it.
If it insists on lying about us, during
lifetime, it certainly ought not to OBJ
ject to paying for it's exquisite enter

in the Fifth district, but, not satisfied
with the prospective honors and large
emoluments Of that office, he proceeded
to crowd us off the committee on reso-
lutiOns and the national committee. This
was done to humiliate us in the face of
the nation.
And subsequently his friends, who
were at that time running the Penny
Press, filled the newspapers of Mime
apolis with vile representations of the
| financial condition of The Representa-
tive, until we were compelled to Sue
them for $4,000 damages for libel. And
while we did not owe them penny,
they suspended the press work of our
| paper for two or three days, and gave
out that we owed them hundreds of dol
lars.
| All these things were severe blows.
| They stopped men from subscribing to
such discredited paper; they broke up
our advertising; they did us infinite
harm. And the worst of it was that the
Penny Press itself went to the dogs

owners; so that it was impossible for
us to collect anything from them in
