THE COUNTRT' PIPER.

In the last chapter of his new
book, The First Battle, the author
W. J. Bryan says that greater SER
vice cannot be done for the cause
of reform than by asking every
friend to make such sacrifices as
are necessary for the support of
free silver papers in every locality
In regard to newspapers he
speaks rs follows:
"In preparing for future work more
attention should ba paid to our news
papers. No words of praise are too strong
to commend the work done by the silver
papers during the last campaign. While
we we're not nearly rs we'll supplied as
our opponents with daily papers, those
which we did have did most effective
work. while the weekly newspapers we're
of invaluable assistance to the cause. In
my congressional contest I learned to
appreciate the value of the weekly news
paper; their zeal and earnestness could
not have been surpassed.
Sometimes the enemies of paper are
more careful to show sentiment than its
friends are to express appreciation of it's
work. If we are 10 have newspaper sup
port in the fight for blmetallism, friend
ly newspapers must have the support of
bimetallists. cannot do the cause of
free coinage greater service than by
impressing upon every friend the necess.
ity of making such sacrifices as are nee
essary to support the silver papers.
Every county should have silver
weekly, every state should have a silver
organ and every city should have silver
daily in keeping with its populations; all
of these papers should be sufficiently
supported to enable them to meet the
opposition upon an equal footing. II
the plain people refuse to give encourage
ment to those who fight their battles,
they need not expect to have defenders.

A Bloody Love Feast.

The afternoon session of the 1.-TWO Per
Cent Club at Koppang's "placs" termi-
mated rather suddenly and unceremon-
ioasly last Monday. Some of the guests
became excessively affectionate. When
suddenly streem of blood began to Cow
from the left side Of of I. 1. Often. Ex-
animation disclosed the fact that knife
blade had punctured him uncomfortably
close to the liver, struck the lower rib and
glanced downward. The heavy clothing
which he wore resisted the force of the
blow, or this little pleasantly might have
resulted far more seriously. The wound
ed man was taken to the Pacific hotel
where his wound was dressed and stitch
ed by Dr. J. ]. Reilly, and he is doing as
we'll as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The other principal to this
nearly fatal ''love feast" is said to have
been John Dahl, near neighbor Of
Ottem's. A warrant was issued late
Wednesday afternoon for the arrest of
Dahl, and given to Deputy Sheriff Gun
der Nelson to serve. Both principals are
prominent farmers OF Alma twp. An ef-
fort is being made to settle the difficulty
without further litigation. Milton Globe.

SPENCER ON SOCIALISM.
How He Has Been NEisrepresentcd III
His Views.

How He Has Been Misrepresentcd III
His Views.
Mr.. Herbert spencer recently wrote
the following letter to the Berliner
Tageblatt:
My attention has just been drawn
to passage in L. Rothschild's Tas-
chenbuch fur Kauheute' in which, to
my disgust, find my name Joined with
the names of Robert Owen and the
demagogue Hunt as representing Eng
lish socialism Goth edition, page 61).
My disgust is made the greater on
learning that even ten years ago the
work in question had circulated to the
extent of 100000 copies. This ascrip-
ton to me of socialistic views is abso-
lutely at variance with evidence re-
peated from time to time during nearly
half century. In my first book, So
cial Statics,' published at the close OF
1850, my antagonism to socialism was
shown. A more recent book, The Man
Versus the State contains chapter
on The Coming Slavery displaying
this antagonism in an unmistakable
way. Still more deliberately is it set
forth in an essay entitled From Free
dom to Bondage which l wrote as an
introduction to composite volume
called "A Plea for Liberty And it
has once more been exhibited at the
close of the third volume of the 'Prin-
ciples of Sociology just published. |
am the more prompted to repudiate
this false Characterization of my views
because on the title page of an Italian
book, recently translated into German
Darwin's name and mine have bes q
bracketed with the name of Marx. T>,
defense made for this association OF
names is that from the biological doc
trines held by Mr.. Darwin and myself
socialistic doctrines may be deduced
But along with the assertion thus mad
it should in fairness have been said
that Mr.. Darwin did not make or adj
nit any such deduction from these
biological doctrines. and that | have
drawn from them deductions absolute
ly the reverse of those which socialist
draw"

THE SCARE PLAY.ED OUT.

Even the Illinois legislature is asked to
enact a bill prohibiting the gold pay
mpnt clause in private contracts. The
measure appears to have been devised
by some long-haired statesman who
wants to assure the country that the
ghost of Papulism still haunts the eartll
in the Sucker commonw
York Mail aud Express.
The "ghost of Populism'' no
longer scares anybody. 1t, like
the ''bloody shirt" has done it's
last work in politics as an election
carrier. If the people of the states
have power to regulate contracts,
or in any way protect the people
against the fetish of the gold
standard, it will be done, at least
in these states where the people
are in power. Illinois is on the
right track; and 80 is North Da-
kota.
The "scare business played out
It worked we'll while it lasted, and
duped voters even in the last cam
paign. The great act played by
the big insurance companies was
the most stupendous of farces
While they were denouncing COL
orado, Kansas and Nebraska, and
threatening Iowa aud Minnesota,
their money was going out all the
time. a single company, the
Northwestern, loaned more than
100000 III the "Pop" states in
the year 1896. Colorado got $685.
600, Kansas $3.50, 900 and Nebraska
S46O,000. There will never be an
other winning "scare" campaign
in this state. Money will be loan
ed where it pays best aud is safest.
1t will do both where the people
aud not the "ringsters'' admins
ter to the government and do it in
honesty and economy, and where
the people; be it of cities or states,
give them the na,ne Of being we'll
and frugally governed.
