Where's The Ruin.

In addressing the farmers of Des
Moines county, the Burlington (Ia.)
Hawkeye uses the following language,
which The REPUBLICAN applies to the
farmers of Jerauld and South Dakota:
is there a Democratic farmer in Des
Moines county or in the state of Iowa.
who is paying more for the nceessaries
OF life" now than two years ago? If so.
let him rise and be counted in the col
umns of the Hawkeye in manly way
over his own signature. And while he
is on his feet we will ask him few
questions. In fact, we will ask him in
advance so he can have time to think
matters over before he replies.
J.. Did you ever krow time in all
your life when ST. of good American
money would buy more of 1.-The necessa-
ries of life" Except farm produce) than
it will now?
.. Did you ever know time when
there was more money in the country
than now.
3. Did you eyer know time when
youcould borrow money at less rate
of interest than now?

economic and financial policy of the

Says the Ruralist: When Don G.
Needham, eX-secretary of the u. f. A.
Co.. was caught in the act OF feathering
his own nest at the expense of the alli.
ancemen of the state and several of the
directors wanted to prosecute him he
was saved by the leniency of Geo. G.
Crosse. Now he attempts to rend the
man who saved him.
But when H. L. Loucks and Alonzo
Wardall and Geo. G. Crosse are caught
feathering their nests, the organ of the
Alliance comes out boldly and defends
them and the greedy trust which is try
ing to get its clutches on the farmers.
through their efforts And would there
have been such desire to prosecute Don
G. Needham if he had been willing to
drag the Alliance into the third-party
movement?

A short time since. in referring to
the silver question, d. B. Hill said he
never crossed a bridge till he came to
it. He seems approaching the silver
bridge now or rather the bridge is be-
ing dragged around in front of him.
Democratic congressman Harter of
Ohio has addressed an open letter to
the Tammany idol, calling on him for
an expression of his views. MIR. Har-
ter says:
The people love frank. courageous
man, and the opportunity to demon
strate that you are all this is now be-
fore you. Your friends in the house
assure me that you are a bold, strong,
courageous, and above all a straightfor-
ward, honest man, and [ think am
safe in saying to the American people
who will read this, that at a very early
day they will know precisely what are
the views of one of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the United States upon
a question SD vital to everyone
and to each individual man, woman and
child in the republic.

An attempt is being made by some OF
David Bennett Hills intense partisans
to make him out a disinterested patriot
because he refused to accept his salary
as senator for the period before he was
sworn in. But. aside from the fact that
so far as actual services are concerned
he has not earned his salary since he
was sworn in, his cheap demagogy in
refusing money that had been approp-
rated fora specific purpose and must
stand to his credit whether he draws it
Or not, should be viewed in still another
light. He was elected by the people of
New York state to serve as senator for
full term. They were therefore en-
titled to his services for that term in
the United States senate, but for par
tisan and personal purposes he deliber-
ately neglected the duties to which he
had been called and remained in the
Governors Office in which, after accept
ing promotion to the senate, he had nc
more right to be than any outsider.
His acceptance of the salary would not
have been half so rank an offense
against decencv as his deliberate insult
to the people of his state by refusing tc
accept the new honors they had put
upon him, until he had taken time
which belonged to them for the carry
ing out OF his own petty and dishonora
BILE schemes.

In the last Arena Hamlin Garland
has SOLDERING article on the third
party contingent in congress, in which
he describes with a graphic and effus-
i've pen Senator Kyle's rapid progress to
the position he now holds. But Car
land omits one highly interesting chap
ter in Kyles career, and that is the
nefarious proceedings in the legisla-
ture whereby enough Republican seats
were stolen to make the ex-preacher's
election possible.

Perhaps no clearer exposition OF the
5allacy of the present position of the
Democratic majority in Congress has
been made than the following from eN-
Secretary Bayard in arecent interview:
Where does any man find warrant in
the long and honorable record OF the
Democratic party, or any OF It's accept
ed and authorized eXponents. for 1he
heresy that values can be created BY
acts Of congress? Wherein do they find
warrant for the ownership and forced
coinage of the precious metals or either
Of them by the government OF the Uni
ted States? These precious metals are
not public property: they belong, the
world over, to private owners, BY whose
labor they were produced out OF the
earth. Who will deny that the simple
creed under the constitution OF the Dem
ocratic party in relation to money has
ever been that it has two essentials, the
,Raterial and the stamp, the former Civ
iRY it it's value and the latter assurance
OF the weight and fineness OF the metal
of which it is composed?
These truths are plainly written or
the face of history and all human exper
ienee. Their denial or projection will be
met by speedy proof Of their necessary
and inexorable acceptance. If those
who now propose to deny them and
being possessed of the Temporary repre-
sentative power, shall assert by the pas
sage of statute their power to create
value in the metal of silver or any otnei
commodity, and enforce its free ane
unlimited coinage at ratio OF value as
compared TO gold far above the intrln

this:
On July 13 the alderman from the Thir.
teenth ward was approached by Alderman
Dan O'Brien, who suggested to him that
there would be big money in it for the
members of the council who would vote
for tile Economic gas ordinance. Roth
pretended to acquiesce, but demanded
time to consider the proposition This
was granted and the alderman sought the
counsel of Il friend, to whom he confided
the facts. saying: 81 think l have good
chance now to trap the Doodle aldermen, :"
and asked for advice as to what course to
pursue. This friend advised Roth to con-
tinue acting as if in accord with the prop
ositions made to him and to accept any
bribe offered him, keeping careful record
of all incidents connected with the trans.
actions Roth followed this advice to the
letter. He was coy, however, and declined
to listen further to Dan O'Brien. Then
he was approached by Billy O'Brien, to
whose eloquence Roth appeared to yield
Promptly Paid for His Vote.
The Economic came up for passage and
Roth pledged himself to vote for it. In
return for this promise O'Brien gave him
$3.50 which he promptly deposited with the
men who are now conducting the investi-
cation. Roth was now considered one of
the initial members SO far as Doodle was
concerned, and when the Northern Pa
citic came up he was approached promptly
and for his vote he was paid $1,000, the
money being given him by Alderman
John Powers. The three other aldermen
named above also as stated approached
Roth at different times and offered him
money to vote for different ordinances in
which they were interested.
The other witnesses examined were
President j. S. Zimmerman of the Peo-
pies Gas company, who told the grand
jury that no aldermen held stock in his
company, and President E. D. Hosmer,
of the Chicago and Jefferson Crhan
Transit company. who related the story
of his unsuccessful attempt to secure a
right of way and of the efforts of GER
tain aldermen to blackmsil him.

The opinion of the court, delivered by
Chief Justice Lyon, hcds that chapter
492 Laws of 1891, (the apportionment billy
is unconstitunal upon substantially the
following grounds: Section 8, article 4,
of tho constitution provides that each
county and each district having popu-
lation equal to the numerical unit of
representation of the assembly alleged
to be 6,88S is entitled absolutely to one
member of the assembly, unless it is
found necessary to attach to such county
in formation of an assembly district,
county having less than the numerical
pie of such numerical unit reached by the
population of any county, such county
is also absolutely entitled to an addi-
tional member Of the assembly. The
remainder of 100 memb bers of the assem-
bly,, not thus absolutely apportioned,
should be apportioned on some equitable
rule, to an equal number of al
counties, probably to the counties
having the largest fractions of popula-
tion in excess of such numerical or null
tiple thereof. Chapter 4s2, Laws of 1891,
violates the foregoing. For example:
1t gives La Crosse county, with 3S,so1
inhabitants, but one member of assem-
bly,, while it gives Manitowoc county,
with 81, 1893 inhabitants three members.
The apportionment of the state into
assembly districts is an entire process.
To greater or less extent each part of
an apportionment act is affected by and
dependent upon every other part thereof.
For this reason it is impossible to ex-
punge from Chapter 4s2 the portions
thereof which violate constitutional ,ta-
quirements and sustain. the balance of
the act IS valid law. Hence, the whole
act is null and void, and consequently is
not legal basis for the issue and publi-
cation by the secretary of state Of no.
tices of election of members Of the legis-
lature.

The Wisconsin Legislature Will BE
Called Upon to Make Il New
Apportionment,
The Supreme Court Having Decided
That the Ore Passed Last Winter
Is Illegal.
The Congressional Apportionment Not
Affeeted-A Synopsis of the
Decision Given.

MADISON, March 23.-The supreme
court has declared the assembly sena-
torial and congressional apportionnent
made by The last legislature to be un-
constitutional.
The decision affects only the sen ate
and assembly districts, and does not ap-
ply to the congressional apportionment,
about which no complaint was made.
The decision is made on the grounds
that the legislature violated the censti-
tuition which requires that districte
shall be formed according to the popu-
lation as compactly as possible, and that
the county is territorial unit in the
formation of assembly districts. This
is the substance of the decision. The
appoTtionment thus overth rown was
made upoa the same lines as every ap-
portionmeat has been made since the
organization Of the state, and other in
iquities complained of have not only
been found in every apportionment but
most of them entered IN the apportion.
ment made by the const1tunal conven-
tion which was part of the constitu-
tion itself. The decision distinctly says
that it affects no other act of any legis.
latu.e. In fact the last Legislature
which elected William E. Villas senator
was elected under another apportion.
ment act, the validity of which wa.
never questioned.
An extra session Of the legislature
will be called on new apportionment
law to be passed to govern the the next
election.

olOuA Clty journal: Inc B!alne pa
per of the west par excellence is the
Chicago Tribune. 1t has been recog
nized as the champion OF the man of
Maine for many years and in more than
one campaign. Its relations with him
are and haye long been known to be of
of the most intimate character. No
paper in the west, no paper in the Uni
ted States has better right to speak for
him.
When therefore the Chicago Tribune
declares that "AIr. Blaine is out of the
field" and in an editorial article of nota-
BILE strength proclaims that Benjamin
Harrison will and should be the party's
candidate. it emphasizes the fact. which
candid and patriotic Republicans have
recognized. That the best thing for the
Republican party would be the unani-
nous denomination of the president and
this iswhat the part really desires The
Tribune points out the great success OF
Gen. Harrison's administration. its hon
esty. its freedom from scandal. its ener-
getic policies, both foreign and domes-
tic. and its Americanism. 1t lays stress
upon the fact that he has not afforded
partisan criticism a point OF successful
attack. 1t enlarges upon his steady
growth in public estimation-how he
has won the respect even of political
| foes. and vindicated himself as a states
man of independent force and charac-
| ter.
The Tribune declares that Gen. Har-
rison ''is immeasurably stronger today
than he was when he ran in 1855 and
proceeds to say
Mr. Harrison not only ought to be re-
nominated but he will be renominated.
There may be a few disgruntled poll,
ticians who failed To receive what they
considered to be their share OF the pub
lie plunder and who will conspire tc
prevent recognition of his just claims
but the great majority of the Republi
can voters in every state desire it, ano
they will make their wants known il
such an unmistakable manner thai
nothing can prevent his denomination
by acclamation at Minneapolis. What
ever opposition there may be to hin
will be dissipated by the pressure o
popular opinion. 1t is not strons
4 enough even for organization or combi
nation. The rank and file of the Re
publican army will be for him enthusi
astically, and there are not wanting i'll
dications that many who voted agains
him in 1888 will hail his denomination
with undisguised satisfaction. He vii
be renominated also because it is uht
conviction of the Republican party tha
no other leader can poll so large vot'
or offer such assurance of victory.
The Tribune goes further and speak
forth words of soberness and truth o.
the efforts that are made to prevent tn
unanimity of the conventions action il
, the first place. What is said under thi
head is particularly fit because of tn
fact that Senator Cullom halls from tn
: Tribune's state. 1t is as follows:
AS Mr.. Harrison ought to be renon

strongest candidate whom the Republ
cans can put in the field, it follows tha
