It may be that your vote may not be needed next Tuesday, but turn out and prove your good citizenship. A FEW REASONS (?) The pompous amateur editor of a little pewee newspaper published at Barnum printed a fiatulent article recently which contained not evena quasi-intelligent idea of the text it purported to discuss, but our esteem- ed contemporary, the Magnet, sized up the intellectual inanity as the production of a master mind and re- prints it, under the caption of “A Few Reasons,” in this week’s issue, thereby assuming a foster parentage to the brainless assumption of reason. The article purports to give some reasons why Pagie Morris should by State Auditor Dunn’s chances of re-elected to succeed himself, and in securing school sections in the Red ke reservation are about as slim as is his chance of being re-elected—both being away below par. O. N. Mausten, of Aitkin, will probably be the republican nominee for state senator this fall, and it is fallacy to underestimate his strength. He is unquestionably the strongest candidate the republicans can put up, and it will give the democrats a battle prosperity.” royal to defeat him. Judge Collins, of St. Cloud, is now the course of its ramblings it gives the following reasons (?) why Pagie should be sent back to congress: Be- -cause the Great Northern Ry.tis build- ing new branch roads. Because con- gress put a duty on lumber. Because the owners of iron mines sti!l con- tinue to operate their mines. Be- cau'e “soup-houses” established by reason of democratic hard times have been “swept away by republican And last, but not least, because Chas. A. Towne still believes and advocates that the people of an avowed candidate for the republi- | this country are intelligent enough to can gubernatorial nomination. We know of no other man whom we would rather see nominated by our gold- bug friends for that office—he is un- questionably thee we'll have to handicap Honest John lJegislate for themselves without any tions. ‘These are “the reasons why” Pagie should be returned. Now the asiest “ringer” to | Herald-Review does not hold the distance in the race next fall. In fact | bydrocephulous blatherskite of the | Barnum Gazette responsible for his Lind by the gold democrat endorse- ramblings—he’s built that way, and ment or Coliins will not reach the home-stretch. The advocates monetary re- form” want the banks to issue the money of the country. If the goldites believe that the promises ‘‘to pay bearer on demand” of the banks will give this country a “sound money” financial system, what is their objec- tion to government notes? Surely if the bank notes backed by the re- sources of tue banks are safe, then the government notes, backed by the wealth and resources of the whole nation must be safer. If not, why not? Our esteemed contempary, the Magnet, gives us the joyful news that the much vaunted wave of prosperity has reached our little sister village, Laprairie. The Magnetsays that the inhabitants of the hamlet at the con- fluence of the Prairie and Mississippi rivers paid their personal ta yearyergo, prosperity must have come to them. Beat the tem-tom! Sound the skew-gong! ‘Turn out t and let music peai from forth its br Shout hallelujah! Make the v ring with joyful sounds! Prosperity is at our portals! President. Garfleld declared that “Whoever controls the volume of money controls all commerce and all industry.” Compare this declaration from the mouth of that republican president witha late utterance -of the great leader of democracy, Wm. J. Bryan The power that controis _our tinancial policy can control the policy of our government on every other subject whenever the occassion arrives for the exercise of that con- trol. Commerce and every industry of our country can be controlled by the power that controls the volume of our currency.” Now read the the response of J. Firepont Morgan, the American representative of the Rothchilds, when ed by the senate investigating committee why Carlisle sold bonds to the gold syndicate for less than the people would have given at a public bid: “Because the syndi- cate cuntrols all the gold.” Then think of the policy of the administra- tion to make all money redeemable in gold, and figure out if you can why you should longer vote for a party that aims to place the financial, com- mercial and industrial interests of this country in the control uf the gold syndicate. The money question is the most important one now before the people. True it is that bimetallism will not prove a panacea for all the political ills of these United States, but the question of whether the Shylocks or the people shall control the finan- cial policy of the couutry must be settled first. It is the stepping stone of politicalreform. There are other questions that must need be given attention—the power of com- bination and monopoly must be crush- ed; government by injunction must be stopped; the people must have a voice in the granting of franchises; the control of transportation must be putinthe hands of the people—but the power that controls commerce must first be in the people’s hands tor the consummation of these re- forms. Money is the first great in- strament of commerce, and therefore the meney question must be para- mount. Let us then work together and wrestle from the Shylocks the control of the financial policy of our glorious country, and mount the stepping stone of retorm, aud thea press on until the last vestage of the entwining tentacles of the octopus Monopoly is crushed beneath the beel of Liberty, and again establish in the ; United States a government .of the | people, by the people, for the people. we but pity him—but we wust cali upon its parent in this county, the Magnet, to give our people its grounds for endorsing the deductations made in the premi We cannot see how | Pagie induc those two Canadian multi-millionaires, Lords Smith and Mount Stephens, who are Jim Hill's financial backers, to sanction the extension of the Great Northern Ry. system. Neither can we find wherein Pagie was “the whole thing” in se- curing the duty imposed on lumber; and has anybody any authority to state that Towne would nov have voted for that measure if he bad been elected? And for the life of us we can’t possible see the slightest con- nection between Pagie and the foreign markets for our iron. And thenas to “soup-houses,” will the Magnet please inform us when the poor funds of our large cities were taxed tu a greater extent than they are today—when in ken of man there existed a larger day of McKinley prosperity? We'll say nothing of the last ove of the **be- causes” - life is too short to pay any attention to such an idiotic abortion of logic as that is. must defend ur disvow the premises taken in the article, or stand acknow- ledged as being on a par with the Barnum blatherskite in reasoning proclivities. VICTORY IN 1900. United efforts on the part of all those opposed to the gold clique will result in victory for bimetallism. There is but one question of para- mount importance before the people of the United States. There are many questions of secondary import: first in importance, and upon that common matter of agreement all factions of all parties opposed to the single gold standard can unite. ln discussing the proposed union of all the gold clique opponents, the famous Solon Chase of Maine, leader of the New England greenbacks, says: “The gold democrats can no longer dictate the policy of the democratic party than the pro-slavery whigs could the repuplican party. Although the democratic party is not free from sin, it has redeemed itself by casting out devils, and therein lies its strength. “After twenty-five years’ agitation onthe question, it has reached that point where the people demand a settlement of the problem. Silver must be recognized as a competitor of gold on the basis of 16 to 1. The issue cannot be dodged or side-track- ed any more than the slavery qres- tion could. “The republicans did not elect Fremont, but, without changing their platform, they elected Abraham Lincoln. We did not elect Bryan in 1896, but we will in 1900 on the plat- form of 1896. A union of all parties | opposed to the gold standard should | be effective.” . There is wisdom in this, backed by history. Fremont’s defeat paved the way for Lincoln’s success, and, in like manner, the democratic defeat of 1896 has paved the way for democratic victory in 1900. Everything points to democratic success. The house can hardly fail | to be anti-republican after next fall's elections. The senate is now safely on the side of bimetallism. The fight is going to be conducted in the Open. Republican hypocrisy and du- plicity have been exposed; and the battle will be for gold monometallism or for bimetallism, and in sucha fight the majority will be with the | bimetallists.

The simile presents a travesty that would be amusing if it were not so flagrant an insult to ordinary intelli- gence and common honesty. It is simply the old cry of “stop thief’’ by the real criminal. Shylock was a money-lender. So is the bondholder. Shylock insisted upon his full pound of flesh because it was “so nominated in the bond.” The bondholders and their special pleaders out-sbylock Shylock. They demand more than is nominated in the bond, and declare that if they don’t get more it will be an act of “perfidy” and “national dishonor.” Suppose Shylock’s contract had called for a pound of flesh to be select- }ed by Antonio, and when the obliga- tion was due Shylock had denied to Antonio the right of selection, claim- ing that he, Shylock, should be per- mitted to say what particular pound of flesh he would take. What comment would our “nation- al honor saves.” make upon that proposstion? We would like to see some of them try to defend the claim that the bondholder should be permit- ted to demand gold when the contract calls for “coin, thus compelling the people to pay back nearly four times as much value as they received.— Chicago Dispatch.

The Beauty of the Greeks. The beauty of the Greeks has been greatly praised, and I was much disap- pointed at Athens; but the Greeks of the Ionian Islands are of a purer race. and one s metimes comes across a very beautiful face. There was a village on the island famed for the beauty of the women. I drove over and saw some very handsome, tall women, with the low, classic brow, and often with blue eyes. They wore their hair plaited with ribbons and twined around the head like a coronet. I was amazed to see such luxuriant hair, but was told that it was probably mixed with their moth- ers’ and grandmothers’ hair. I think Leighton’s idea that the Greeks were originally fair was correct. for I saw several fair-haired women. My maid Marguerite had the most lovely gold- en hair anu blue eyes; she was tall and statuesque. Her sister Puterpe was no less handsome, but dark.—Catholic World. The Cause of the Row.
