Der Of the schoolday friends of Miss
Bissell, and several others, at the
home of the former, on Wednesday
evening last. The guests present
were furnished with cards and were
invited to guess at the originals of

the rooms, and also to solve the
mysteries of a dozen or more arti-
cles on the art table. Mrs. H. N.
Bell was the successful guesser on
the former, getting Is out of Is,
while Mrs. w. A. Palmer won on
the latter, getting three out of

Refreshments were served late in
the evening.
One of the pleasant features of
the party was the presentation to

in and around Redwood Falls. The
invited guests had all been asked
to call at the photo gallery. select

1t was certainly inspiring to us
as teachers when Mr. Race spoke of
Redwood being second to none in
the State as to the number of first
grade schools; that Minnesota
ranked third in the Union as an
educational State and first in hav-
ing the largest educational fund for

MATHeWs GOSPEL.
The Democratic Candidate for
" Congress at the Opera House.

What is the matter with the local
Democracy? The presence Of their
candidate for congress, Hon. NJ. 3.
Mathews of Marshall, did not at
tract a full representation Of the
faithful at his first appearance last
Thursday evening. Had it not
been for considerable audience of
Republicans, in addition to the Dem
ocrats present, the array OF. empty
chairs would have been depressing.
Mr.. Mathews was introduced by
Mr.. Bager, and the latter sat in
lonely state upon the stage during
the meeting. AS this was not the
hrst appearance here of Mr.. Math-
ews, who has conducted trials in
our courts on various occasions
with marked ability, it may be ad-
mitted that he made rather plausi-
bic defeIse OF some phases of Bry-
anlsm. 1t is open to doubt, how
ever, whether he did not do more
harm than good for his ticket and
his own candidacy by his espousal
Of the cause Of Aguinaldo. Taking
for his theme the declaration of our
forefathers that government rests
upon the consent of the governed,
he tried to institute a parallel be-

tween the treacherous and coward
ly Tagals, and the American colon
lists of IS, charging Mckinley and
his advisers with the betrayal of a
trust in exerting sovereignty in
the PHILIPPINES, and with subse-
quently burning villages and muir
dering helpless ratives in order to
subjugate Aguinaldo and his patri-
otto followers He did not say that
the Democratic party for more than
half century had been insisting
upon government without the con-
sentlOf the governed throughout the
south, wherever the governed hap
pened to have negro blood in their
veins, but his talk suggested that
fact. He said that one of the results
Of the civil war was that no South
ern man now denied the principle
he quoted from .sthe Declaration of
Independence. In view of the very
recent disfranchisment of negro
voters in the south, there was fine
irony IN this statement.
|. AS one of his illustrations Mr..
Mathews said that if Lafayette, after
assisting the Americans to gain
their liberties, had insisted upon
making them subject to his own
nation, the case would have been
parallel to the course pursued by
Mckinley and his advisers.
Concerning the Is to issue, Mr..
Mathews was conspicuously and
discreetly silent. His reference to
National banks was along the line
followed by Doc. Fish and | other
greenback orators years ago.
The speaker S most forcible ar
raignment was against the trust
combinations, ringing the changes
on Gov. Lind's illustration Of the
purchasing power OF ten bushels Of
wheat in January, 1893, as compared
with the same date ia 1900, applied
to such staple commodities as lum-
Der, salt, kerosene oil and barbed
wire.
