The tire caught through the burning out of the chimney. The men were not at home at the time so that the tire got the headway and burned the building to the ground. Mr. Johnson's dwelling was oue of the finest houses in that section. We have not learned whether he was insured, but at any count it was a serious loss and great inconvenience to be burnt out at this time of the year. The Willmar Tribune will also contain an agricultural column edited by Hon. N. Quam. Mr. Quam is"a native of this State, born and raised in Steele county, and has been a resident of this county for many years. He knows from practical experience just about what can be done un der our conditions of soil and cli mate and will, we doubt not, make the column interesting reading for farmers.

The Willmar Tribune has a short and clear political creed, to-wit: "Ecjual rights to all and special privileges to none." This is the golden rule of Dem ocratic institutions. It contains both the law and the prophets of all popular governments. Measure any policy or law by that rule and you can easily see whether it is democratic or plu tocratu^ We have heard it hinted that the Willmar Tribune is started to fight old political enemies. Now we want to say right here that this is a mistake. The Tri bune is not the organ of any clique or single person, but of the Populist party as a whole. It will be free from personalities and discuss principles with a view to find out what is best for all. Hard times will heal a good many political sores before another election comes around.
