decorum of that great body, to
kick j. +. jacobson clearly and
fairly into the midst of the popu-
list party to which he properly
belongs.
Yes, gentle Pop. The Repub-
lican party is one of the most dan
gerous things we know of. 1t is
responsible for the awful condit-
ion that prevails at this time and
should DO held to rigid account
ing. 1t has gotten so under these
reprehensible Republican auspices
that farmers are cavorting around
the country in rubber-tired vehic-
les, buying upright pianos and in
other ways conducting themselves
more like railroad presidents than
horny handed sons of toll. In thus
familiarizing themselves with the
manners and customs and vices
and luxuries of the plutocrats they
are departing from the honored
traditions of their fathers, and the
Republican party is to blame for
it. Darn such luck anyway.
Henry Watterson says few
which will cause w. j. B. and a
few others to have heart failure:
He says: ''Noparty in this country
has ever thrown itself across the
highway of the country's progress
and arayed itself against the sold
iers in the field without marching
to sure defeat. The bugaboo of
imperialism will brighten no one.
1t may make q few he-grannias
squirm and tickle few lady-like
mugwumps, but brain and Drawn
of the nation are made of sterner
stuff. The manhood of the time
has it's face set towards the future,
and keeps to the music of prog
ress.
The range papers in St. Louis
county are strongly advocating
the division of the county, and
their claims are well founded. 1t
was the fault of the Republicans
that they haven't their rights today.
but two years is quite a while, and
the sore spots will be nicely healed
at next election.
The above is from the lively and
interesting Iron Trade Journal, of
Two Harbors. While it is I'M
doubtedly true that the people of
northern St. Louis county are en-
titled to a coutny of their own, lit is
not entirely the fault of Republi-
cans that the county was not divid-
ed at the last election. The very
range papers that the Journal
speaks Of were largely responsible
for it. They kept up the agitation
for new county until they receiv-
ed a "divvy" from the Republican
campaign fund, when their inter
est in a new county suddenly ceas-
ed. In fact, some of the more
shameless among them turned
about face, and even opposed div
ision at that time. A purchasable
press, Bro. Burwell, is largely res
ponsible for the fact that St. Louis
county remains intact and the peo-
pie of the ranges are denied JUS
tice. Had they kept up their war
fare against the scheming politians
OF the Republican party In Dul-
luth, they would have won the day,
but few dollars closed their
mouths, and the cause went by de-
ault.-Metcalfe's X-Ray.
The reasons given by the X-Ray
are altogether too tiimsy. We
always held and do yet, that had
it not been for the over-zealous in
reference of the Duluth Pops, the
county division movement would
have been a 90. The Pops solicit
tation for division of the Repub-
lican ranges from the Duluth
! Demo-Pop end, was painful. They
saw in the move q chance of feath-
ering their own nests and the over
turning of the plans was ''the
blow that killed father" If the
ranges do not get the division this
