Between Two Black Men ON u DARK
Night.
At rare intervals the moon peeped
through the pillows of a sea of fleecy
clouds and cast sickly beams across the
path of a form which was walking slowly
and steadily in a country graveyard. The
figure stole furtive glances about him as
he crept to the grave of man who had
died on the gallows on Friday. just as the
clock was tolling the midnight hour the
form fell PROSTATE on the grave, uttering
not sound. Almost in an instant the
figure arose. Taking a knife from hi.
pocket, he made single, rapid cut, and
turned to leave the place A moonbeam
revealed look of ghoulish glee on his
countenance.

PATRIOTISM vs.. PARTISANISM

Patriotism is the love of country
and home; partisanism is the love of
party and its emoluments. The one is
prompted by the purest motives for
the public welfare, the other by the
narrow, contracted selfshness of per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 1t is patriot
ism that impels man to leave his
wife and children, and all that he
holds dear, to fight the battles of his
country, on the call of the Chief Ex-
ecutive, be he Republican, Democrat
or Populist. Patriotism never quib-
bles over partisan prejudices, but raj
lies to the standard OF the whole ma
ton, with determination to battle
for the cause Of humanity, for home
and fireside.
In the civil war, at the outset, there
were more Democrats in the rank and
file than Republicans. notwithstand.
ing we had Republican President.
In the present "Yanco-Spanko" war
the Democrats and Populists displayed
the greatest amount of patriotism in
Congress, and when called upon by
the President were among the first to
offer their services in defense of our
flag, although branded as anarchists
and repudiated by the party in power
Such has been the history of our gov
eminent since its inception. Party
lines have been obliterated in time of
great emergencies, and so il should
always be. There has been too much
partisanism in our republic since the

tariffs, combines and syndicates, and

some time previously, sent telegram
to our Mayor and City Council prof

congratulations to Dewey from our
people, over the Government wire,
without cost to them. He suggested
that the message be sent to him "col-

transmission by cable. Now we rise
to inquire, What has become of that
telegram. Was it received by any,
body, and if so, why was it not made
public? Mr.. Lewis feels hurt over the
failure to recognize his kind offer.

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.
VIM. Bradley Departed This Life Friday
Evening After q Long Illness.

VIM. Bradley, one of the old settlers
of Mankato died at his home on Sec.
ond street Friday at about 100
O'Clock, after an illness that has con-
fined him to his house since last o.
tober. While his friends knew that
he was failing, his death came to
them as a surprise this morning. His
health had not been good for the past
three or four years, but previous to
that time he was quite rugged.
VIM. Bradley was born in ONEIDA
county, New York, March II, 1882,
and spent his boyhood days in that
state. Along about 1855 he came
west with his brother Edwin, and
settled in Iowa, where they engaged
in business, which they followed for
about two years, when the wild cat
money troubles of 1857 obliged them
to close out there, and in October of
that year they came to Mankato.
Here they engaged in general mer-
chandise business, and salso bought
grain, hides and wool. They also
engaged in the lumber business for a
while.
In 1867 they sold out their store
and engaged extensively in the brick
making business, the firm name being
Bradley s. Thompson. From 1868,
for the next ten years the two
brothers were engaged in grain bust
ness, buying wheat principally, and
were engaged on quite an extensive
scale. In this business they made a
good deal of money and as
is usually the case they
also lost good deal. After
going out of the grain business along
the latter part of the Sc venties, Mr..
Bradley was not engaged in any par
ticular business, He served on the
city police force for a number of
years, and always proved most eff
cient officer. He was appointed a
health inspector under Mayor Weav-
er, and this position he held up to his
sickness last fall, which confined him
to his house.
During This long residence here he
enjoyed wide acquaintance and was
held in great respect by his many
friends. He leaves wife and three
children, two SONS and a daughter, to
mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at
2 o'clock p. m. Sunday at the house
and interment took place al
| GlenWood cemetery.
