This government gave the Scotch
baron and labor oppressor, Carnegie,
a contract for 81, 100000 without a
bid. He sells his workmens' labor to
the government for $15 a day, and
then this same pet of the govern
ment, who contributes thousands OF
dollars to be distributed among the
voters of this country to uphold the
high protection scheme, pays into
the hand of the Pinkertou tools five
dollars a day each to coerce these
same workingmen, into accepting a
reduction in their wages.

The editor Of this paper has not
seen the assault made by that old
fool and traitor, Ball, OF Dodge Co.
But a letter states that he charges us
with selling out" the Fourth Dis
trict to the republicans. Such silly
SLAYER would disgrace more shame
less bore than. Ball. We have moth
ing to sell, and will not even be pres
ent st the nominating convention.
He says we have exhausted" the
Lecture Fund! Good God, it was ex-
hausted over $500 before it was
raised. We had more than that in on
the work at one time. We took the
Institute through three weeks of con-
tinuous rain on an expense of $1S a
day (less small collections) out of
our purse. The ''fund" has never
caught up with that misfortune-bu
it has done great work. The first
thing DR.. Fish did was to receipt for
1914 debt due him on the great
''Donnelly Broadside, "a debt 2H
years old.
AS to the Prosecution Fund, DR..
Fish never received a dollar of it.
The convention voted it, but the DR..
promptly turned it over to the Cam
pa7gn Committed Instead of Eek
hausting" the $500 voted him, by
the convention, he has drawn just
500, in order to even up Mr.. C. II.
johnson, OF Pipestone. for the cost of
his hired man and an item of railroad
travel-no salary. The Fund" act
ually owes DR.. Fish $475 today.
counting salary Of $50 month!
This man Ball is nuisance, politi-
cal fraud. and a nobody. And the
quicker Dodge county gets 'shut of
him" the better for the peoples
party.
The stuff about Lt-governorship is
silly. We went to Washington to
get Kittel Halvorson to accept, and
no man ever heard a. suggestion of
our nomination. Ball was published
as a republican delegate from White
Bear. And he was republican Of
fice-holder under Dunnell-and we
think it was within the last two
years!

A Pittsburg dispatch under date
of July %, says the Carnegie offices
are now under military supervision.
Whittier are we drifting? Is it not
a terribly significant fac! that in
free America the military power of
the state is required to protect the
person Of a 1nulti-millionaire bene-

violence at the hands of those who
stand at the other end of that sys-

Whew!

The Pioneer Press of July 9th,
says: The headquarters of the vari-
Gus candidates were opened at the
Merchants yesterday, and last even
ing the hotel lobby was thronged
with candidates and delegates from
all sections OF the state. Hon. knute
Nelson arrived from Alexandria last
evening and was warmly greeted by
a host Of political friends who had al
ready taken possession OF his rooms
on the parlor floor. Parlors l, Z and
8 and rooms II, II, II. Is and 10
had been reserved for his use."
That's pretty steep! Three parlors
and five rooms for one candidate for
governor. About thirty or forty
dollars a day for room alone.
Who's running the reform cam
paign? Knute's a poor man." He
can't afford it. What corporation
pays these bills?

in justice it should have been, the
slaughter at Homestead would not
have occurred. But after the damage
is wrought and human lives have
been sacrificed, these democrats
greedily sliced upon the opportunity
to-what?-do something for hui
mainly? MOI but harpy-like to se-
cure political advantage to them
selves out of the misfortunes of the
workmen at Homestead!
Did they call up Watson's resolu-
ton which they had pigeonholed
months before? No! They tumbled
over each other in their haste to pre-
sent q new one of democratic parent
age to the end, not that a dangerous
institution that threatened the iber-
ties Of the people should be destroy
ed, but to the end that it's passage
might rebound to their political adj
vantage.
The peril Of permitting a private
body of armed men to be sent about
the country to put down strikers at
the behest of corporations was just
as imminent when months ago the
democrats refused, under Mr.. Wat
sons resolution, even to ask "Are
these things SOP" and the selfish in
terest which underlies their present
movement is too palpable to require
comment,

The republican sheets that persist
in saying that the peoples party and
the democrats have fused in Kansas
know that they are putting before
their readers a falsehood, pure and
unmixed-without a grain of truth.
They know that the democrats made
overtures and proposals to the peo-
pies party for fusion with them and
were emphatically denied the request.
But what has been done in Kansas is
this: The new party have put up a
full line OF nominations from presi-
Dental electors to road commission
ers, and the democrats have, in many
instances endorsed these nominal
tions. The peoples party in Kansas
have not made a single concession of
principle to the democrats, and the
republicans know it. 1t is time the
tongue that. wags that falsehood
should take rest.

Knute Nelson in 1887 came out

Today he says he took that posi-

in order to throw the vote on the
Mills bill into the senate where the re-
publicans could amend it to death.
Then either Knute Nelson is liar, or
else he is one of the most corrupt and

The most successful toilet en- evidence
was, perhaps, that of the hostess, who lived
up to her tulips in a pretty plnky Whlte
wooden, with narrow strips of crimson. A
broad band of deep yellow velvet edged tae
skirt. and a narrower one draped the hlps
and was finished with a cord and tasse!s.
Short full upper sleeves were edged with q
band Of the same velvet, while the under
ones to the wrist were quite tight fitting.
A gown Of pale amber-colored benRallne
harmonized with the flowers almost as per-
fectly. The skirt had & ruchinR at this foot
of amber shot with green. Panels of open
work black slk embroidery foil half way
down either side, and the bodice was OF
black embroidery with guimps of the pale
tinted %benealine. A bias scarf ripping
from green to amber was gathered about
the waist and tied in front with one large
scarf formed two loops. which fell over the
shirt. The sleeves had full silk tops with
lace cuffs to the elbows.
The breakfast wasn't served until half an
hour past the time, because one woman was
late-of course without good reason. But
everybody except the hostess forgave her
within six minutes of her arrival, because
nearly everybody saw the possibility Of
car wing away half a dozen new
ideas from her soft but wildly green
cashmere gown. The plain gored
skirt had n wide band Of black
velvet about the bottom beaded and, alas,
footed with an edge Of jet passementetio,
] he lower line of jet fell over a green silk
ruche box plated, rayeled into fringe and
set under the velvet band. Tbs bodice WAS
made in quite Il short-waisted fashion, the
tendency this spring being to revert almost
if not quite to the empire styles. Bands Of
| ietted velvet made a broad triple belt, and
the sleeves were quite peculiar, the cash
NEE tops being turned back at the elbows
in naring cuffs reaching halfway to the
shoulders, while close velvet cuffs covered
! the lower arms.
The hat that went with this simple and
yet uncommon costume was not a hat al
all, but a thick wreath of small roundist
green ienves tod in the back with long
loops of Watered green rlbbons.
