The efforts of the republican mana
gers to recall the Scandinavian vot1
by the nomination of Knute Nelson
as their candate for governor arr
proving altogether Intellectual. The
object of the nomination is so pal
pable that men who have joined the
peoples party from an earnest con-
viction OF the righteousness OF it's
principles are Justly indignant at the
republican imputation that they may
abandon their principlesf for SO paltry
a consideration. Evidence OF the
loyalty OF Scandinavian character to
it's convictions is not needed, but it
comes to us every day in the form OF
resolutions unanimously adopted by
Scandinavian alliances, and OF inter
views with prominent scandinaviar ,s
OF al! parties. The following, taken
from the columns Of the St. Cloud
Daily Times (dem is a case in point
PEOPLES PARTY PEOPLE PLENTY.
Mr.. Chris. Borgerding, the Belgrade
banker, was in st. Cloud on Saturday
evening. In speaking OF the political
drift OF the people in that locality,
which is the home of Kittle Halver-
son and an alliance stronghold, he
said that those republicans who ex-
pected that some of the third party
voters would again Join with the e.
o. p. were mistaken. 'The alliance
men," he said, "baye joined hands
with the peoples party and are found
right in their ranks. They are all
Donnelly men, and unless l am mis-
taken, they will vote for him.
As they all belong to the national
ity the republicans had in view when
they baited their hook with Nelson,
it would hardly seem that there is
any ground for many of the State
ments made about his polling the
Scandinavian vote. He was put up
to win these back to the republican
column, but it begins to look as
though the task was hopeless.

| MT. DOnnelly ls MAKING Dig cam
paign. He started out last week for
the Duluth line of road. On Monday
night Aug. %, he spoke at Forest
Lake to a large audience, for that
sparse]y settled county. The next
day at noon he spoke at Center City,
the county seat of Chisago county;
although the farmers were very busy,
stacking and cutting their grain,
the court house hall was full of list
eners. The Scandinayians of Chisa-
go county who voted the alliance
ticket two years ago are firm in the
faith this year, and many more with
them. The Swedes do not bite at
the bate OF a Norwegian nomination
for governar:-they understand the
meaning Of it.
On the night Of the 23d, Mr.. Don
nelly spoke at Taylors Falls to a
large open-air meeting, in front Of
the Cocheco House. He was intro
duced by ex-senator, Hon. W. 81. G.
Folsom, an old: Republican, who en-
seu Gov. Donnelly in the highest
terms for his fidelity to the whole
people Of the state, and especially
to the farmers, speaking OF his efforts
for twenty years past, to secure a
congressional appropriation to con-
struct a canal to connect the st.
Croix river with Lake Superior, this
giving the Minnesota farmers through
water communication, from their
own state to Buffalo N. Y. Mr.. Don
nelly spoke at length and was lowdly
applauded.
The next day, Aug. "a, Mr.. D.
spoke at noon at North Branch to a
large and enthusiastic crowd of farm
ers, who were in thorough sympathy
with him. After dinner he rode 18
miles to Cambridge, the county seat
of Isanti County, and spoke there in
the evening. The audience was the
largest ever assembled in Cam
bridge. The people we're in for twen-
ty miles in every direction-the court
house was full and a great crowd
standing up in the ante-room. The
gospel of the peoples party was well
received and there is no doubt it will
carry Isanti county this fall. The
old party men were astonished to
see such crowd turn out in the
midst of harvest.
The next morning Gov. D. drove
fourteen miles to Harris, and there
took the train to Pine City-stop-
ping with that prince of hosts, Col.
J. J. Stone, of the Pioneer House,
a great pleasure resort. At night
he was escorted by the Pine City
Cornet band to the Court House,
which was lighted up within and
without with japanese lanterns and
hung with flags and bunting; cannon
were booming and rockets flying,
and the whole town and coun-
ty had turned out and packed
the court house with the biggest
audience ever seen in Pine City.
Democrats and republicans were
both delighted with the castigation
which Gov. Donnelly gave their cor
rupt leaders; and the vote for the
peoples party this fall in Pine county
will be simply immense. Old party
ties count for nothing this year in
this part Of Minnesota. Everybody
feels something is wrong, and he is
disposed to try a change;-they
agree that it can't make things any
worse and it may make them better.
That is the feeling everywhere. The
republicans are Disguised with Knate
Nelson on account of his relations
to Jim Hill; and the democrats take
no stock in Dan Lawler*for the same
reason. W. d.

All railroad employees should vote
the peoples party tickets on all oc-
casions. They ought to do so, be-
couse the peoples party is the only
party in the field in favor OF govern
ment ownership OF railroads and
telegraphs. Under government own
ership of railroads and telegraphs,
the position OF all employees would
be safe and secure, and there would
be no changes Of managers on ac-
count of stock gambling deals in New
York, and consequently no changes
OF employees, except for good cause,
such as neglect of duty. And then
under a government railroad system
all EMPLOYEES getting too old to work,
or getting crippled in the service,
would be allowed reasonable pensions.
Think OF these matters, railroad boys.
We are with you heart and soul, and
we want you with us. If we never
start in on this reform, we will never
accomplish it. Now is the time to
start. The question is being agita-
ted all over the nation. Hurrah! for
the peoples party government rail-
ways, no more strikes, and fair
wages. Portland (Ore.) Journal.

The People Of Mars.

With Mars at it's present proximity
ty to the earth, all the world is
wondering if that interesting planet
is inhabited, and, if so, what sort of
race it supports. Some say that
it is clearly an inhabitable planet,
while others make the broad claim
that it has no atmosphere and has
reached the period of refrigeration.
The latter may be the case; but if
Mars is really inhabited it hasn't
a people equal to ours, a country
like this nor railroad like the st.
Paul & Duluth railroad, which IL
known far and wide as the Duluth
Short Line. The latter has become
firmly established as the best line to-
take when you are going from St.
Paul and Minneapolis to Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater or Taylors
Falls, az it has a smooth road-bed,s
runs fast trains on handy schedules,
uses the best of equipment with new
sleepers and has terminals. Always
take the Duluth Short Line, which
is the scenic route and the practical
route, popular with all. For info--

There is ''incalculable room for immigrants"
in the United States, as Mr.. Edward Atkinson
argues in the May Forum. Not room indeed, as
heexplains, for those who would enter upon pub
lie lands, but room for such as are able and
willing to buy parcels of land from private
holders. He very pertinently urges that if
there is no lack Of land there can be no want
Of work for those who choose to apply industry
and intelligence thereto. And he appears to
oppose all laws restraining the importation Of
laoorers under contract His reasoning is some
thing like this: The workmen now here
have only the skilled incoming Iaborer
to dread, if they dread any; because
Of the ineapaeity of pauper laborers
their work comes high. The difficulty
of putting a tax on intelligent immigrants who
come TO labor, he proceeds TO state, is that they
can smuggle themselves in across the border
This argument would destroy all of our regula-
tions concerning undesirable immigrants; in-
deed it would level our custom houses them
selves and abolish all duties on imports, which
10 unthinkable in the present or any other
probable economic condition. Mr. Atkinson is
entirely right, however, when he contends that
we could not keep out intelligent, skiilfal and
industrious people If We would, and would not
if We could. Such people have made this
mighty fabric of government and all it repre-
sents or protects But there is another propo-
sision perfectly tenabIe, that uuintelligent,
unassimiiative, degrading labor from abroad
must not be permitted to enter orr ports and
demoralize our work system. 1t will not
do. as Mr.. Atkinson insists. TO rely upon the
eventually costly character of this undesirable
labor to prevent its coming. So long as it
may be permitted to come it VIII vitiate the
labor system and injuriousiy affect the eco
nomic policy of the republic, for so long there
will be employers who will employ the cheapest
labor unmlndful of anything but immediate
financial results. Ofeourse they will not per-
sist indefinitely in this self-destructive policy
but after them others will scout experience,
just as theyhaye done, and the evil will thus
be perpetuated The help for it is legislative
check.
