Ortonville Herald:-We regret to
note that the Pennington Tribune is
adopting some of the stock words
and phrases of that disreputable St.
Paul sheet. the Great West.
Powderly is right. The ballot box
is the enginery of revolution, and I'M
til the wage earners of the country
recognize that fact and govern them
selves accordingly they will accom-
plish no results whatever. We should
like to see compact and powerful
workingman's party. 1t could do q
deal of good. But there is no such q
thing now, and will not be until la
borers get sense enough to use the
right to accomplish a really great
purpose.-N. Y. Herald.
The Farmers Alliance and Knights
OF Labor have joined hands and will
push on the reform movement to-
gether. If they mean what they say,
somebody had better stand from un-
der. The great trouble with the
working classes is that they won't
vote as they talk. If they ever get
enough sand in their craws to vote
for their interest, the days of such
men as Allison and Coal Oil Payne
are numbered. However, let the
good work go on. Push forward
the organizations. Educate and
agitate.-Independent American.

by imposing heavy fines ON the several rail-
roads for having violated the law. lhe

for breach Of the law.
Judge Diggs. i'm a very short and conciu-
sive opinion. pronounced the law uncnn-
sututional, the facts being That the COM

as charged. but they were ENGAGED I'D car
