ABOUT MONEY ORDERS.

Transmission of Money Orders Made
Much Easier by Postomce Depart
ment.
The United States postofice depart
ment has enlarged it's operations, and
by a method which has recently been
authorized in first and second class Of
fees, the transmission of money is to
be made much easier and more conven-
lent. The following is the substance OF
circular which has been issued:
First. to cash all money orders ir-
respective of the place of payment
named in such order, it being under
stood, of course, that the identity of the
owner shall be, established, as in all
other cases; and, ~
Second, to cash.s any money order
drawn upon such Office. irrespective OF
the fact that ting corresponding advice
may not have reached the Office upon
which drawn" ~-.s..

legal it is right. There could not be .
greater mistake. Chattel slavery was
once legal, but never was right. 1t was
once legal to burn people at the stake
for their religious opinions, but it was
never right. Many laws now in force in
the United States were enacted pur-
posely to enable the interruptions to live
by exploiting the laboring classes.
So much trickery and scheming to live
without doing honest labor is the cause
of all the strike, crime and misery that
afflict the race. Protect the industrious
against interest and other schemes of
robbery. Then the vicious idlers will
have to go to work Honest labor will
improve their morals. When all do
their just proportion Of labor necessary
to supply all with the necessaries and
comforts of life. then will crime and
poverty disappear from the earth and
the millennium dawn.

REFERENDUM BALLOTS.

In Minnesota the referendum has
been tried in party nominations and
has not been found wanting. Voters
to the number of nearly. 1000 responded
to the call to express by the referendum
ballot their choice for. candidates to
hold the various state offices.
-. AS will be seen in another column a
complete state, ticket was nominated
and the vote cast for, each candidate
evidences the confidence reposed in
these men by the rank and file.
Under the old party system Of con-
vention nominations, "a nomination
evidences only who was the most sue
cessful wire-puller. -.
This experiment., or innovation in
politics., has in every way gratifled the
greatest expectations of it's authors and
champions. It is eMinnesotas first nomi-
nation by the party rank and file. 1t is
the first time ip this state when the
slate was made on the farm. Back-of-
fee nominations by few ambitious
politicians have, been side tracked for
a nearer approach to pure democracy.
The seeds of true reform for 20 years
scattered about the headwaters of the
Mississippi by our editor-in-chief have
at last taken root and while his voice is
today beng heard in the distant South
ern city of Atlanta, he may we'll rejoice
at these evidences Of reform and politi-
cal progress 80 largely due to his tongue
and pen in his own state. While today
our editor-in-chief is marching through
Georgia" it will cheer him to renewed
effort to learn that 30 loyal recruits
from Minnesota will Join him at Gin

She was bread in old Kentucky, where
the ballot box is stuffed; where the
gentle poker player never yet was
bluffed where the rivers murmur sweet
ly and the meadow grass is blue; and
the double-dispelling shotgun sends
conviction into you; where the sky is
ever lovely and the sweetest songs are
sung, and the innocent by-stander gets
a bullet in his lung. Where the ladies
all are pretty and the gentlemen are
brave; where the just observed by
stander gets decorated grave. Where
they drop their RS so softly when they
hold chat with you; and the innocent
by-stander often has to be dropped, too.
Where the candidate who's beaten rises
up and says he's not. Whereupon the
said by-stander carries Off a load of

ing through the trees q serenade; and

A FABLE.

Once upon a time a man went out to a
Barn Lot and found there a Newly Born
Calf. It seemed so weak he Thought it
would Surely Die. He went and Procured
some warm Milk and Thought to feed the
Calf. He raised it upon it's Feet and held
the Pan of Warm Milk to its nose It
tasted 1t but suddenly drew back its Head
and Butted the Pan with such Force as to
Spill all the Warm Milk, Knocked the Pan
forcitly against the mans nose and made
the Blood fy and scattered the Warm Milk
all over the Mans Sunday clothes The
Profanity heard in that Barn Lot was
Shocking.
Our Social Democratic brethren might
guess the moral and profit by this mans
experience. The Populist calf is not
nearly as weak as it looks. It's late
trials and experiences, its Buffers, its
(Zekes and other bosses have made it
exceedingly tired. But the calf is rest
ing very fast and when at Cincinnati it
gets again pointed in the right direction
Il will butt into the middle of the next
century any man who dares offer it tho
pan of fusion. e.. A. r.
