A MYSTERY ACCOUNTED FOR
The Disappearance of the CurbstOne Ora
tor of 1896.

The Disappearance of the CnrbstOne Ora
tor of 1896.
One of the passing problems of the
present campaign is the question of the
whereabouts of the erstwhile curbstone
orator. From the extremes of Mime
sofa goes up the query as to his contin-
ued absence. In Albert Lea to the
south and Rainy Lake City on the
north the question alike awaits an an
swer. He is a featura of the campaign
because of his distinguished absence.
All remember his valiant and valuable
services in the national campaign of
1896. He was numerous and powerful
factor in every precinct in the Union;
then he stood on the street corner and
with learning and knowledge of all
great questions far surprising that of
the statesmen of renown told of the in
Equities of the gold standard and of the
blessings to come under the benefcent
reign of 16 to l. But where is
he in 1898? His voice is stilled
in this year of grace; his
physical being has given place to an
equal quantity of wholesome and pure
air; the space once held by him is de-
voted to the uses of business and he has
utterly and completely disappeared, but
he is not dead, nor even does he Sleep
Go into the workshop, the store, the
mill, the office, the pine woods, the iron
mines and on the farms of the great
Sixth congressional district of this state
and one will have no difficulty in dis
covering and recognizing the curbstone
orator of 1896. 1t is true he has changed.
His face has not that drawn and hope
less look. In it's stead he is now con-
tented, prosperous and patriotic work
ingman. He goes home at eventide
with an appetite for his evening meal
and he has the wherewithal to satisfy
that appetite. He rises in the morning
and goes to work with will because he
knows he will be well recompensed for
his days labor, and that in the best dol
lars on the face of the earth. Here,
you curious one, is the secret of the dis
appearance of the curbstone orator of
1896, and the discovery of the happy
workman of 1885,. Cloud Journal

Necessity for Republicans to

One of the notable contributions to the
political literature of the current state
campaign is an article written by Sena-
ator H. J. Miller, and published in his
newspaper, the Rock County Herald,
entitled "A Shattered Idol" This arti-
Gle is most striking example of the
power welded by man of strong abil-
ity in a comparatively obscure journal
istic position. Again, it shows how it is
possible to be keenly and incisively criti-
cal without at the same time being often
sively personal, or in the slightest degree
untruthful
Morris tribune., 1898-11-05

Here is how Senator Miller draws the
contrast:
ACROSS the narrow separation of
three brief years, the two John Linds
confront each other, one looking
forward and the other backward,
each proclaiming the honesty of his
convictions and each denying what
the other says. It is indeed striking
and curious spectacle, this joint debate
between the two John Linds, the one
declaring Ito quote from his speech at
New Ulm in October, 1889 that ''alI
Democrats are not murderers and horse
thieves, but pretty nearly all the muir
derers and horsethieves are Democrats, .
and the other the candidate of these
same Democrats for governor; the one
proclaiming with the earnestness and
zeal of honest conviction that the Re
publican administration of state affairs
has been clean, honest and efficient, the
other declaring with the zeal of new
convert that this same administration is
and has always been shamefully cor
rupt and inefficient; the one declaring
that the one thing needful to the safety
of the nation and the prosperity of the
people is the continuance of the Repub-
lican party in power in the state and
nation, the other replying that RepUbli-
can supremacy is hostile to every Ma
tional and individual interest; the one
denouncing the claims and assertions of
the other in the strongest terms, and
each in effect calling the other liar"

The article opens by announcing that
"The Herald has always had a very
high regard for the John Lind who was
once a member of congress from this
district. 1t has had unquestioning faith
in his integrity and has had, as it has
now. great admiration for his undoubted
ability. That regard and admiration
for the John Lind to whom they be-
longed, are as strong today as they ever
were"
Then follows the statement that the
John Lind of those former days, and
the John Lind of today are two distinct
personages. ''the one being an earnest
and sincere advocate of Republican
principles, and the other John Lind de-
nouncing those great principles as in
famous Mr. Miller, in the most glow
ing language, shows up the strong in
consistencies of Mr.. Lind's present
position how he spent the best
years of his life in building
a splendid structure of Republican prin-
ciple, and now assuming the common
position of a politically depraved dema-
gogue, he is seeking by falsehood and
fnnesse to destroy the temple of honor
reared in the days of his youth.

Lamb Crop Short.

1t Is set forth in a bulletin on the
sheep industry of the country, recent
ly issued by the National Live Stock
association, that while the industry,
as a whole, was never in a more pros
porous condition, the lamb crop does
not show as large a percentage as
usual, due mainly to the universal
cold rains during the Landing season.
All sections report forage to be the
finest in ten years, and the lambs are
larger and fatter than usual at this
time of the year (the only exception
being in n or two limited sections
along the Pacific coast. where drouth
has prevailed. According to informa-
ton received direct from owners, i
appears that less sheep will be market
ed this year than last. The high price
OF western wool, Ia to Is cents per
pound, and the fancy prices paid FOR
western alfalfa-fed lambs on the east
ern markets, make 1t much more
profitable for breeders to grow wool
and lambs than mutton. 1t is too early
yet to correctly estimate the wool
crop. but it is believed that an in
crease of 10 per cent is a conservative
figure.

What type Of Merino will meet fu-

wonderful age, a period OF marvellous
development, invention and discovery,
and never before was competition so
sharp and persistent. making necessary
strict economy and best methods If
success is to be attained in any bust
ness or calling, and the breeding OF
domestic animals is NJ exception. In
this field the expense of care and keep,
on the one hand, and the capabilities
OF the animal or race on the other, are
elements for consideration and turn
the scale for good or otherwise.
Careless and slipshod methods IN

Every industry must supply a need Of

sheep, substantially Merino blood, kept
with wool production the paramount
object in view, and necessarily from

movement OF wool in the American
