A BIG HOTEL TRANSFER.
The Francois and Commercial Pass
Under One Management.

COL N. +. Wright, OF Lake Fark,
the New Boniface.
An enormous hotel deal, whereby
the two irst-class hotels of our city
are placed under one management
was consummated last Saturday morn
ing. The GAZETTE of last Thursday
announced that the Commercial House
had been leased to NJ. F. Wright, late
of the Lake Park Hotel, Minnetonka,
and while it was aware Of pending ne
gotiations between this gentleman and
G. A. Francois, for a lease of Hotel
Francois, matters were in too crude a
state to justify publicity.
But On last Friday night an agree
ment was entered into between these
two gentlemen. wereby the former OBJ
tains fye years lease on Hotel Fran
co.'s, and secured exclusive control of
our two leading hostelries. The pa
pers were formally signed Saturday
morning.
The new proprietor of Hotel Fran
co.'s and the Commercial Hotel has a
decidedly unique, if not acceptable,
plan on which he proposes to run the
hotels. The culinary department, din
ing room, etc., will be at the CONNER
cial while the Francois will be turned
exclusively into a sleeping and apart
ment house, the occupants desiring
board having to go to the Commercial
to obtain it. Rates will also probably
be increased, particularly for day

Mr.. KEN took the money, saying
that he would invest it in reform

as told the writer by Congressman

This exhibition has been advertised
to the four quarters of the globe

of school children begging for

the country so much good, why

money and not beg it from those
who will not realize a red cent of

LESTER HUBBARD, author of "The
Coming Climax" and formerly
editor of the Farmers Voice, of
Chicago, was lately bounced"
from that paper by Montgomery,
Ward & Co the owners Of the
paper. In talk with Mr.. Hubbard
at st. Louis, on the subject, he said
to the writer, 60, no! wasn't
bounced; was just informed that
| could retain the position Of editor
if would leave politics out of my
editorials. Otherwise, they would
not need my services any longer.
Montgomery, Ward & 90. have
received hundreds Of thousands of
dollars from the farmers and labor
ers of this country, for goods, and
they have thousands of farmers
names on the subscription list OF the
Farmers Voice. The Voice will
lose the bulk Of it's subscribers on
account of this action, and, doubt
less, there are thousands of people
who will not buy another dollars
worth of their goods. Mr.. Hub
bard is one of our brightest and
truest reformers, and has a warm
place in the hearts of the common
people.

WE have been told repeatedly by
Grand Army men, the G. A. R. is
in no sense political organization;
that an old soldier, be he Republic
an, Democrat or Peoples party, ap-
plying for admission is given a
cordial welcome. Now this we
believe, still there is something
wrong, else why are the posts OF
the Grand Army now being worked
in the interest Of the anti-silver
men? The signs of the times point
to an intention of working it for
political effect, as was done at the
reunion at Topeka two years ago,
and again last fall at the reunion in
Chelsea Park, Kansas City, where
it was evident it was nothing but a
political campmeeting under the
guise of an old soldiers reunion.

The platform contains so many
things That the masses OF men agree
; to that the need Of new organiza'
ton to carry them into effect is the
one thing above all others that seems
useless. The failure to put in pro-
hibition plank shows it was not a
high moral movement so much as a
political one. Still, there are points
in the protest that touch the public
conscience and the popular heart,
and will have to be recognized,
sooner or later.-Kansas City Jour
nal.
The Journal is beginning to see
the handwriting on the wall. The
masses Of men may agree that the
things contained in the St. Louis
platform are right, but neither of the
old parties, by their acts, recognize
as needful and right, or else, long
wears ere this, the wrongs OF a
quarter of century duration would
have been righted, and, therefore,
new organization was one of the
important things of the day. Its
usefulness to the needs of the hour
is apparent in the demonstrations
accorded it in the ShylOck sheets.
The points in the protest that touch
the public conscience" have been
pooh-poohed and jeered for years,
and only now, when the political
trimmers see that the people are
fully awake, and have resolved upon
change in the monetary affairs, are
they hedging, preparatory to accept
ance of the points that touch the
heart" The wrongs the people
have endured so long should have
touched the hearts of our law-mak-
ers long ago, but with them much
more potent influence is at work
party success. Now they demand
recognition outside the organiza-
tions which have exerted such a
baleful influence upon the country.
They cannot trust those who have
so criminally betrayed and battered
the trust committed to their keep
ing. The Journal seems somewhat
anxious about the absence of pro-
hibition plank in the platform. The
Journal seems not to comprehend
that the conference was an aggrega-
ton of industrial organizations, con-
vened for a specific purpose--to
complete an organization to work
for the much-needed changes in the
laws affecting land, transportatit n
and finance. The conference has

FORMERLY, when a reformer spoke
of government ownership or con-
troll of railroads and the telegraph,
he was met with scorn and derision
from Republicans. But now what
do we see? Well, we see the
Republicans are trying to steal our
thunder. They are beginning to
favor those measures, and also the
election of United States senators
by a direct vote of the people. In
very short time, the western Re
publicans will have adopted all OF
the demands of the Peoples party
not because they believe in them,
probably, but because the people
demand them, and they (the Repub-
licans) see that it is useless for
them to go before the people on the
old. worm-eaten "issues." The
eastern Republicans, being nearer
Wall street, will hold to the old
ideas yet little longer.

RUMBLINGs of discomfort with the
unequal favors and opportunities to
make living under the present
civilization, so-called, are heard
from many lands. When money,
and the accident of birth, are no
longer able to give their possessors
unlimited power over the well-being
of their fellowmen, an improved
civilization will have dawned.
Then worth will take the place to
which it is entitled, and the school
of prophets that hold that God gives
great riches TO the few to hold in
trust for their fellowmen, will be
relegated to the moles and bats.

The defeat of the ANA, igamated
association OF iron and steel workers at
Homestead, the failure Of the switch
mems strike at Buffalo, ana the defeat
of the trades unIOnists in minor
troubles throughout the country, has
had a tendency toward creating Il sort
Of panic among members Of trade
organizations, and OF weakening their
faith in the value of combinations.
This fact was recognized by Gen
eraI Master Workman POwderiy of the
knights of Labor. who, in an address
TO the order, says that many Unionists
are speaking discOuragingly Of the
future, that others are depressed, and
still others a. e growing pessimlstic.
POwdsriy urges that the time has
cOms when trades uuiOuists should
manifest horse sense, aud that the toll
ers should recognize each other as
brothers aud cooperate with each
other AS equals in an industrial
brotherhood.
He urges that the interests Of the
wOrkingmen Of the city and the
interest Of the farmers OF the country
are identical, and that both should go
hand in hand in the course of reform.
How much better it would be, p
says Mr.. Powderly, 'if farmer, steel
worker, labOreT, carpenter, railrOsder,

This entire neglect Of all other
values makes the fact evident that
the true value of money is wholly rep
resentative. This represented value
exists always and entirely in the
property for which tile money is
received OF paid. Let US illustrate:
John Stockmau sells n horse for a
greenJaek 500. Now the greenback
represents value of 500, not ia itself.
but in the horse for which it is receiv-
ed. Mr.. StOcEInan needs a buggy. At
Peter Wheeler's repository hs selects
one 70 his liking, for which be pays the
greenback. Now the greenback rep
resents value in buggy. Mr..
Wheeler has a payment to make on
his house and lot, which he meets
with the same greenback. Nov the

Much confusion prevails in the
minds of many by allowing the idea Of
what money is to be ObscuFed by the
thought Of what money does, or ena-

Intrinsic value is natural power IA

It is definitely known i'm this city
that the only hope Of the republican
managers ia the coming election is in
the creation of "a stampede in tile PEG
pies party ranks on the eve OF election.
One OF the methods by which it IS
hoped TO accomplish this result has
been already disclosed. 1t is by letters
supposed to be written by people g
party men renOuncinR their allegiance
TO tile party because Of the Outragps
upon Gen. Weaver in Georgia, and
other reasons such AS they can conjurs
from their muddlsd bruius. Some of
these letters may be genuine. while
others Will be forged. There were
always Judases willing to betray their
muster, and there will always be
traitors to every good cause, who may
be bought by the enemy. Other means
are also contemplated to aid the Crea-
tiOn of this panic, II is an attempt
to repent tie tactics OF 1883, perhaps
without the dynamite, but with all
the other INSCRIPTIONS methods which
have come 10 distinguish the repdbh-
can party. With the remembrance of
the COHsyville scheme fresh in their
minds, and the subsequent knowledge
obtained of republican tactics, the
people of Kansas are not going to be
stampsded again this year. Their votes
will be based upon iHt,l igsuye and eds
cation, and it is an insult to that
intelligence to even suppose that any
/ scheme, however CunHingly devised,
can succeed ia creating the panic that
is now contemplated by tile republican
managers. Topeka AdU0cHts.
