.rHE FlFTeEN CENT BANQUET. !,

The republicans of Union township
gave banqueton Wednesday evening
The republicans of the township fur
nlshed everything necessary for the
feast and then charged themselves the
nominal sum of fifteen cents i'm order
to 'detray the expense OF decoration,
| printing, hall rent, etc. 1t was one of
the finest and most notable gatherings
OF tile kinG we ever witnessed. The
night was cold and stormy. almost a
blizzard, yet one hundred and fifty
people sat down TO the banquet table,
many driving or walking in from the
| country to attend. There certainly
vas nothing in this splendid showing of
party good-fellowship for even i he most
ultra partisan paper TO insult, AS the
Bulletin does IN its issue OF Thursday
Had the banquet cost Sl00 a plate the
Bulletin would have called it an air
OF plutocrats, gathering of the classes
to conspire against the masses, AS it
was done on a popular plan, made so
that everyone could attend, the wall
eyed pike who operates the Bulletin, at
the direction OF the gang, calls it, with
a jeer; ID fifteen cent banquet The
truth is that such tactics will do the
Bulletin no good. even among the dem
ocrats of Dow City. However partisan
they may be, they are intensely loyal to
their home town. and they will serious
ly object to any slur cast upon it. We
do not care what Mr.. CaswrIl may say
about us personally, our standing in
the community can neither be made nor
marred by the blackmail Bulletin. but
we do object to th e causeless, senseless,
insults which 1T filings Wholesale, first
at one and then at another. Last week
we said the Bulletin could not open it's
mouth without putting its foot in it,
and this latest slop oyer concerning the
republicans of Dow City is but another
proof OF the truth of the assertion.
Mr. Cummins was not present at the
banquet. This was greatly regretted
and was a serious disappointment, but
the letters, kilograms and telephone
messages sent by him, the earnest effort
made to secure "A substitute when he
found he could not come himself. have
entirely absolyed him from any suspic-
ION OF slight or neglect in the eyes of
Dow City people. How the Bulletin
will seek to defend its insulting editor
lal we know not. Whether it will pal
late the otfense by calling us more
names, or will inform the people by
some power of thought transference it
was simply publishing the ideas of
some prominent citizen. name un-
known, or whether it will resort to cow
ardly silence, we know not We believe,
however, tina; the cause of republican,
ism in Union township will be strength
ened, rather than injured bv the un-
gentIemanly and indecent attack made
by the organ OF democracy.

Please Explain

| Will the Bulletin please explain the
following propositions? We are not to
be driven from our position by any
amount of personal insult. Just ex-
plain or defend these things and then
we will talk of something else.
LIST. What good excuse was there for
the Democratic board of supervisors to
raise the expense OF county government
over 5000 year, for the same service as
received in former years:
End. What good reason can be given
for taking the county printing from the
Vail Observer and giving it to the Dow
City Enterprise with but little more
than half the circulation?
3rd. On what grounds can the gang
defend themselves for harassing and
urging an insane man to take the oath
of a public office
4th. What reasonable excuse can the
Bulletin give for saying man is in
sane, and in the same article calling
him an migrate"
5th. How can the Bulletin defend
its course in attacking an honest man
because his business methods did not
suit the Bulletin?
9th. In what code of newspaper or
other ethics do we lind that it is reput-
able to attack man on the ground OF his
nationality, as was done by the Bulle-
tia in the case of Orkin Bros. and Mar
shall Royce,
18th. Is it decent journalism to fling
slurs at the honest efforts of the Union
township republicans because they
made the admission to their banquet SO
cheap that everyone could attend?
Go and ask your boss why he had you
do these things, then tell the people
what he let's you say about them. After
these things are explained we are ready
to take up something else.

A Reply.

An exchange volunteers the informa-
ton that the name of M. Loubet, the
new French president, is pronounced
''Lu bay
The French we are sorry to say,
Can't speak our good English today,
But you can just bet;
When a thing is Lou bet,
We are not going to call it ''Lu-bay !"
We've followed their style in bouquet
And BUNDLED ourselves in croquet,
Which we know is croket;
But they can't get us yet
To say that Loubet is '.Lu bay.

The French Republic And
The Exposition.

History seems to indicate that every
country is not capable of self-govern-
ment. The socalled republics of South
America are much in the nature of oil
garchies, or aristocracies, than of pop
ular governments. Their history is
crowded full of revolutions aud coup
de etats," and bloodshed. We excuse
these people on account of their semi
civilization, but what shall we say of
The French people who are almost
hyper-clvilized? After less than thirty
years the republic seems to be totter-
ing, and the people are said to be ready
to throw themselves into the arms OF
Victor Napoleon and hail him Emper-
or. The fact is that the only perfect
government would he an absolute mon
archy-if, and as usual the ''if'' is the
major part - the monarch be absO-
lutely perfect III wisdom and all the
other qualities of government. In so
far as mOrtals fall short OF these divine
attributes, must human governments
tall short Of perfection. The French
people seem to be firing of self govern
ment, they are a nation of hero wor-
shippers. OF impulsive temperaments,
aud appreciate the glitter of arms. the
glory OF name, more than they do the
substantial achievements OF govern
ment. That these people have never
become thoroughly imbued with repub-
glicanism is instanced by the titles OF
mobility, many spurious. which are
more plentiful to-day than ever before
in France. IT the French republic is to
be saved, the only thing which will tide
it over the next few years is the Expo
sition of 1900.
On such little things dc the fate of
nations hang. The people of Paris,
however anxious they may be for
change, however dissatisfied they may
be with the republic, are anxious that
nothing should interfere with the great
exposition for which they have been
preparing for many years. IT the new
president, NJ. Loubet, wishes to hold
his seat, let him keep a double guard on
the Exposition grounds. America is
the only country which,on large scale,
has been able to hold true to the princi-
pies of a republic. Grave dangers
menace US now, but we have met more
serious problems and solved them with
honor and credit. and we have the ut
most faith in the future of the free in.
stitutions of America.

politics to the wrong man last week.
We do not know the merits of the case,

Mclaughlin on the Indians.

The New York Journal has the follow
ing interview from Kansas City: The day
when the last American Indian will
stand weeping for his race gone before
and offer himself to the Great Father
will never Gomez said James McLaugh-
lin, the veteran Indian inspector at the
Blossom house this morning. 1.-The race
which ran over these prairics and hills
half century ago is by no means near
ing extinction so fast as some alarmists
would have us believe.
"While it is true that the rate of NOR
tally exceeds the birth rate in a major
ity of the tribes at present, there are
several tribes in which of late years, the
number of births has been greater than
the number of deaths, and inside of fiji
teen or twenty years this will be true of
nearly every tribe on the continent.
"lntermarriage with the whites and
the fact that the Indians are gradually
becoming used to living in houses and
accustomed to the laws and customs of
civilization are the main reasons for this.
The day may come when the last full
FLOODED Indian will go to the happy
hunting grounds, but it will be many
generations hence, and for centuries to
come Indian blood will influence the
lives and characters of some American
men and women"
James Mclaughlin is known among
the 100000 redskins who yet remain in
this land as 'The- Man ho-Looks-Into-
Things He is a wiry little man, much
thinner now than usual, because he has
Just gotten up from a sick bed. For
t~wenty-eight years he has spent his time
among the Indians, first as an agent and
after as an inspector. He is now the
dean of the inspectors, having been in
continuous service in the Indian bureau
longer than any other man.
THE results of ~intermarriage among
the whites and Indians are advantage
GUS to the whites,"he said. ''The In
dian is the most moral race in the world,
and since the government has put a stop
to the union of disreputable, worthless
white men and Indian women. the
change has been noticeable and most de-
sirable. The Indian character is much
finer than it has been painted by most
writer's and lecturers. There are, of
course, a few tribes the members of
which are not worth their %rations, but
they arg small. The male Indian is a
much more manly being than he gets
credit for, too"
When asked about the recent uprising
at Leech Lake, Mimi, Captain Nc
Laughlin said it was an inexcusable
happening.
"Never before have the Chippewas
gone or the war path since their treaty
was ratified" said he, land I think they
are not altogether to blame, although I
have no direct knowledge of the matter.
But one thing is certain, there will new
er be another general uprising or revolt
among the Indians in this country. They
are too far civilized"

RECENT INVENTIONS.

Fires are easily lighted by a German
inventors device, which is formed Of
two or more sheets of flexible material,
with combustible substance between
them, which burns with a large, slow
fame.
An improved corn pepper and coffee
roaster has a wire cylinder carried by
a shaft set in a handle, the latter being
held in one hand while the other turns
q crank at the rear end Of the shaft to
revolve the cylinder over the fire.
To assist in replacing a trolley pole
on the wire a rod is attached to the side
of the wheel, to be extended vertically
as soon as the wheel slips of, allowing
the conductor to pull the pole around
until the rod grazes the wire and
guides the wheel into place again.
A California woman has patented an
improved mop wringer in which roll
er is fixed on one edge of the pail, with
a second roller carried by a pair of
levers to be depressed by the foot and
clamp the mop cloth to hold it while
the stick is twisted by the hands.
To remove ice which has frozen on
the trolley wire q new attachment is
formed Of a finger pivoted on the pole.
with q curved tip which fits in the
groove Of the wheel, with a sharp edge
on its face which cuts the ice away and
allows the wheel to touch the wire.
An Englishman has designed a spring
bicycle saddle, having the seat portion
formed Of woven wire, with the nose
fastened to the front end of a curved
bar, the rear being suspended by means
of a number Of spiral springs attached
to the rear end Of the bar.
The rooms Of buildings are automati.
cally kept at proper temperature by a
newly patented mechanism, having q
circuit-closing rod carried by a piston
mounted in a cylinder of mercury, to
cause an electric current to drive a fan
and exhaust the warm air.

A Simple Letter.

Princess Pauline of Wurtemberg.
who was married in November, had be.
fore her marriage a somewhat unusual
letter from peasant girl. 1t read:
Dear Miss Princess Pauline: Your
wedding is to be on Saturday, and l
wish you every happiness. 1 am sure
you are very happy. My wedding is on
the same day, and l should be very
happy, too. if my father were not sit.
ting in prison. If your father were in
prison, you, too. would grieve. Dear
Miss Princess, beg Of you say a good
word to your father, so that he NAV
let my father off, or at least let him
out for few hours. so that he NAV
come to my wedding. With much love
Yours,
There was too much fellow feeling
between the maiden in a palace and
the maiden in a PEASANTS cottage to let
this appeal pass unnoticed. It might
be a fraud and the father a hardened
offender, but the princess wanted tn
know.
She took the letter to the King of
Wurtemberg, and inquiries were made
as to the degree of culpability of this
man VINO must ''sit in prison" on bis
daughters wedding day. 1t was found
that he was only a slight offender and
he was not only ''let out for the we'd
ding. but given a free pardon
