In Reminiscent Vein.

NJ. p. Biwer, of Devils Lake, N. D..
was the guest of his father, M. A.
Biwer last week. The editor of the
New Era enjoyed friendly visit with
him. He is the same Matt" he was
when he electrified audiences in the
country school house in western How
ard county some fifteen or sixteen
years ago, with this difference-the
former champion of Mark Hanna Re
publicanism is now an ardent Socialist,
and can "tak" socialism with as much
JUNCTION as he used to reel off the mer-
it's of the gold standard. Matt has
Jared pretty well financially, but new
crtheless, he sees or thinks he sees
that we are drifting onto the rocks IN
matters pertaining to political econo-
my. Possibly he and the editor Of this
rag may have series of s"joint de-
bates" through these columns, and
possibly we may not. If the editor
should get "stumped" he might call on
Prof. A. K. McCook of Shell Rock.
but. we are afraid that Matt, in like
dilemma, could expect no assistance
from his old friend E. A. johnson of
Lisbon, Iowa, for that gentleman is a
Standpat republican. -Ema New Era.
