Pres't L. L, Polk.

Pres't Polk, of the National Al
lance and Industrial Union, will be
in South Dakota soon, and we wish
to bring him into Minnesota tor a
visit. The trouble is in getting a
general centre where farmers could
give him a proper greeting. The
cities are not noted as agricultural
centres. Mr.. Polk is Southern gen.
tleman, representing before the re-
cent union, over a million alliance
voters-and now he stands at the
head of an organization with g.
900, 900 voters within it. He is a
power in the nation, and many of
the most profound enunciations OF
Alliance doctrines, and their defense,
have sprung from his Investigations.
Dakota is now practically a member
of the mighty federation, with it's
grand work in full operation. Min
nesota, unfortunately, was wheedled
out of it by snide representation Of
her political element. We are still

ratio! Rates of interest-and did
not call loans go up to As per cent
the highest ever known in America
within four months-and didn't the
u. S. government come to the rescue,
first with $S,OOO,OOO and then with
secret backing to the Bank OF North
America?
No, money is not scarce if'you
can find a man who can afford to
pay the interest-and commissions.
That doesn't reach the case OF the
laboring friend of ours who is paying
115 per cent year on his pawned
watch-one presented to him by the
Nova Scotian government for hero
ism! 1t makes us clean gone tired
out to have a man who ought to
know better, say that currency is in
creasing!
The next thing this man says is
more interesting:
Our farmer friends would do well to
leave the regulating of the currency
to those who are in position to I'M
derstand that matter and who are
quite as deeply interested in the pros
perity OF the country as they are.
They may safely rest assured that
the men who control the financial
operations of the Treasury will, on
: the whole, work for the best inter
ests of the country.
This proposition cannot be treated
with dignity or smooth face. 1t is
the most indecent, ridiculous, silly.
and withal the most contemplate
proposition we have ever heard OF
1t is too childish to argue-that the
farmers should leave their most vital
interests to the care of those "whC
are in position to understand the

A gentleman of Dawson asks us
to print a long extract from the
New York Witness. We haven't
room for such slush. The writer is
mountebank or harlequin. We
quote two sublime pinnacles-of-igno
ance which are so radiant with dark
ness that we wonder at the capacity
of a iackass in comparison:
Here is one item:
The fact that capital is becoming
continually more abundant IN pro-
portion to the country's need is
amply demonstrated by the fact that
the rates of interest on long loans
are gradually shrinking at the great
financial centres.
The man who needs money most
has, now as always, a hard time get
ting it, but that is no evidence that
money is scarce. 1t only proves that
those who have it are, for some rea-
son, averse to trusting him.
Some liars insinuate their wit be-
tween the ribs and make us laugh
and some don't. The man who says
capital has become more abundant,
when even President Harrison noted
a reduction of $114, 100000 in his
message-and the most liberal es-
innate only allows $11 a head
against $50 or more, 25 years ago
1--WE are not quoting the $50 per
capita including bonds,) is beyond
argument; and wasnot our currency
reduced $40, 100000 last year?

How He Did Up Colorado Banks and
Merchants.


DENVER, August lie. F. G. Hall,
representing himself as contractor of
the Nicaragua canal, travelling West for
his health, is wanted here for passing
forged drafts on New York banks for
nearly $4,000. The same man visited
Glenwood Springs in July and swindled
banks and merchants out of $500 by
the same means. His plan of operation
was to gain the confidence of a prom
inent citizen who would introduce him
to the banks and merchants. He then
makes deposit in bank and issued
drafts which were promptly paid. He
would then deposit draft for large
amount, drawn by Kansas bank upon
bank in New York, get a part pay
ment on the draft in advance, draw out
all OF his deposits, and with considerable
iewelry paid for with forged paper,
leave the town before his crookedness
was discovered.

SKINS ON FIRE.
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
Eczemas Instantly Relieved
by Cuticura Remedies.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called i'll a physician, who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to
get up in the night and rub him with soda
in water, strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had attempted to cure him, all alike
failing, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Goth of last July,
when we began to give him CUTIcURA RE.
SOLVENT internally, and the CuT1CURA and
CUTICURA SOAP externally, and by the last
of August he was so nearly we'll that we
gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENT
about every second day for about ten days
longer. and he has meyer been troubled since
with the horrid malady. In all we used less
than one half of a bottle of CUTICURA RE-
SOLVENT, little less than one box of CUTI-
CURA, and only one box of CUTICURA SOAP.

EVERY possible exertion is ap-
parently being made by almost
every citizen of Washington,
while the live men of Oregon ap-
to be few and far between. As a
result, Washington is growing with
great rapidity, towns are spring
ingspp, railroads are being extend
ed in every direction and univer-
sal activity and progress are Wis
ible everywhere. Oregon, how
ever, cannot show anything like
such a degree of activity, and yet
our natural advantages are fully
equal if not superior to those of
our sister state. The lesson is OBJ
vious. Men, not location and
natural advantages are what build
up cities and states, and the local
|ity which is lacking in energetic
men, will not advance very rapid
ly, no matter how much it may be
blessed by nature.-Astorian.
