According to the election returns,
as we remember them, G. A. Lind
herp cf Little Falls was elected men,
her Ct congress from this district. In
viev Of some interesting Developments
in the district, we are beginning to
wonder il this was true.
Chargaa are tein9 ma'e in postmas'
ters wnica speak loudly OF revenge on
the pa,t OF Congressman Bockman.
II ia an open secret that Backman
was rot pleased with his defeat BY the
pecple, and those who know Buckman
viii not be surprised that he would
usa his position to wreck vengeance on
those q no were MT able to bring the
voters t. endorse his candidacy. 1t is
claimed that be made plenty of threats,
and wit1the aid of postofiice inspectors
has rean on the trail of postmasters
whoperfe red to do their own voting
Il is 3 very easy matter, under the
vicious system Of the postal depart
ment, t. GUST any p 'stmaster at the
will of the congressman, regardlts SO
of row pu ular CT competent an ottii-
cia] be may be. The inspector gees
around and finds some trifhing VIOLA

Silly the p0s:master does not spend
eveiv minute of bis time IN the Office
-or some clerk has been Negligent
IN minor matter. The inspector
REPORTS that the postmaster should be
removed. TIE matter is referred back

the man IS removed and his sue
cessor appointed-and the postmaster
hiss ~ cpp rrtunity to defend himself
ar prove the report Of the inspector
false.
There il nothing more unjust or
cruel IL the government of Russia.
There nave been some changes in
postrasters in 'ha upper part OF the
district, a~d it is openly charged that
Buck>nau is doing this party for his
owr satisfaction and partly for the
nj apura # q Gang of politicians who
were displeasedat Llndbereh's success.
Tha o~esti N naturally arises: Has

should he permit decent men, and in
some cases 81 soldiers, to be thrown
OUT, good frisnds of his. some Of them,
too. to mare room for his political
enemeis?
while his term Of Office does not
commence until next month, he cer-
tainly"c ,uld have protected his own in
terests and those of good clean Repub'
icans, as the c1ngressman- elect, byas-
sorting his rights, and not have per-
mittei tha piratical politicians to put
In Office men who will take great de-
lipbt in inserting the dagger under his
ffth r1b-if he happens to have that
numbar-and then do the buzz saw act

We fear that our coming congress-
man is too modest gentleman to sue
oessfully cope with the Buchanan buo"
csoears who have been in control, and
who ara row laughing in glee at bis
corop ancy, while they have but men
of tfair own ilk on guard.
IF Mr.. L'odbarga wants to ba one
term congressman, he is being led on
the right track to that jumping, of
place by his Kebpulican enemies.
will m b DIV please wake him up
and ir CT +entelly il might be in the
int raat Of good government to have
President Roosevelt informed that his
postal repartme1t is the most wicked
and revan9efu full political machine on
the facy Of tn, ri )be GO Ia7dly. treacn

""president Roosevelt stands for
square desl--bct he is the uncon'
sciors agent of policy that denies
American citizens the right OF defense.
