with sensational yarn to the effect that
at the Fourth district Democratic con-
greSSiOnal convention. held in Saltwater

Knute Nelson's vote for the Mills bill
two years ago was defeated. This is in
correct, as the files of both the morning
papers published in this city Will show.
A motion to add to Knute Nelson's name
those of Gov, Wakefield and Hon. Milo
White was defeated, but the platform as
first reported was adopted, and it con-
tanned the following plank indorsing
Mr.. Nelson:
We assert that no member OF congress from
this state, elected by the Republican party,
except Hon. Knute Nelson, has ever voted in
the interests of his farmer constituents on
the tariff question, but they have continually
and persistently voted with the worst enemies
of their prosperity.

Suicide of a Guest at the Hotel
Roessler.
Capt. James Gray is the name of
man who registered at the RoessIer
house, corner of Third and Sibley
streets, last evening, called for a good
room and went early to bed. He was
apparently seventy years old or there
bouts, and respectfully dressed. He
now lies Oh a board at O'Hal-i
lorhan d Murpny's morgue.
1t was about O'Clock when Gray went
to bed, and although queer noises We're
heard proceeding from his room about
O'Clock nothing was thought of it.
About midnight an employe of the
hotel entered the room and found the
man lying face downward on the bed.
stone dead. Near him was q bottle
smelling OF laudunum, the contents of
which he had evidently swallowed. An
alarm was given at once, and DR.. Coggsl
well was sent for. The man was past
all aid, however. Coroner Quinn was
summoned. and an examination of the
dead mans effects showed that he had
given his correct name. Letters were
found signed Alice Gray and Kate
Ryan. In them Gray was addressed
as Dear Father.' Kate Ryan is
married daughter. Both daugh-
tiers reside at $50 East Seventh
street. No money was found on the
corpse, and there is evidence that the
suicide was in poor circumstances. 1t
is clear case of suicide, and no inquest
will be held.

GHE NATIONAL PARK.

The Yellowstone park has been won
derfully advertised. and those who have
visited this section of Natures WONDER
land agree that there is no exaggera-
ton i'll the flaming circulars and
pamphlets which tell of its marvellous
beauties. However, the park is getting
new sort of advertisement just now,
which, while il does not detract whit
from its glories, will bring it into dis
favor with tourists and will prove a
positive injury TO this whole North
western country unless prompt action
is taken to remedy the evils that are
complained Of.
Judge LAMBERT TREES story of the
hardships travellers are subjected to
while making tour of the park, and of
the excessive eXtortionS practiced by
fhe monopoly which controls the trans
portation and hotel accommodations, is
having q very wide circulation. 1t is
going the rounds of the American press
and is being copied into many of the
European journals. The story cannot
be successfully contradlcted, because
every person who has visited the
park is ready to confirm Judge
TREES statement. The result will
be, that unless the government
shall take some steps to remove
the causes of complaint, there will
be no visitors to the park next year.
People are not going to pay out their
good money for the sake of seeing some
natural wonders when the sight in
wolves two weeks subsection to the
hardships of pioneer life. The DAYS for
''roughing it" are passed. Tourists are
accustomed to travel now in luxury and
ease. and unless the government can
provide some degree of comfort for Wis
itors to the National park, there will be
no visitors.
This is a matter deserving the atteD-
ton of all our Northwestern congress
men, including the representatives from
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana,
and the states lying along the line
of the Union Pacific road. The
travel to the park each season is a very
considerable item of profit to the rail-
roads between Chicago and the Pacific
coast. 1t is also matter of considera-
BILE Importance to all the country on the
line of these roads. The 10000 people
who now annually visit the park drop
several millions of dollars as they pass
Ell route. Besides, all this section of
country gets good advertisement by
having so many strangers pass through
it each year. Hence, we say it is a
matter of special Importance that our

edges the receipt of the favor but says
that his business engagements will not

ALLIANCE ADDRESS.

The address issued yesterday by the
Alliance party leaders is Indicative of
their determination to make fight this
year. They claim to have the numbers
and the organization to make formid-
able campaign, yet they confess that
their weakness is in lack OF money for
campaign purposes. 1t is severe COM
mentary on the condition of American
politics when reform party is forced
to acknowledge that it needs money to
carry an election. The Alliance people
emphatIcally deny that they need
money for Doodle purposes, yet they
say it is necessary to have a considera-
bic amount in order to keep their ticket
afioat. and all urgent appeal is made to
the farmers to chip in and help the
cause along.
Presumably, the time will never
come when money can be eliminated
from politics. The Astralian system
provides for the printing expenses to
be paid out of the public treasury. This
does away with one very considerable
item of what was popularity supposed to
be Legitimate campaign expenses. Old
time stump oratory is going out of
fashion, so that the expense for cam
palgn speakers is not SO heavy as for
merly. Yet there is the cost of cam
paign literature. and of the salaries of
the officers of the various party organ
izations, all of which has to be raised
by assessments on candidates or by vol
untary contributions.
The fact that a certain amount of
money has to be employed in legitimate
campaign expenses gives the boodler an
opportunity to corrupt the elections and
debauch the ballot by lavish expendi-
ture of money for illegitimate pur-
poses. Ii some system could be devised
by which all election expenses were to
be paid out of the public treasury, the
vocation of the boodler would be gone.
The Alliance leaders recognize that
the wealth of the railroad and elevator
companies will be used against them in
this campaign. The Republican ma
chine is completely under the contsol of
the corporations, and is being operated
to their advantage. The expenditure of
a few hundred thousand dollars of
the corporations in an election does
not deplete their treasures to any per-
ceptible extent when. by a single raise
in the freight schedule, or the drop of a
few cents on the bushel for wheat, they
can collect the amount eXpened from
the farmers whom they are fighting. The
raising of campaign fund is a pretty
easy snap Tor the corporations, but it is
an awfully tough job for the farmers,
who have first to defray the expenses
of the other parties, and then chip in
from what is left for their own cam
paign fund.
