Our Conversational Candidate.

Truman Plantz the democratic nom
inee for congress in the Eleventh dis
trict, is thorough seif>msde man. He
was born in Fulton county, New York,
in 1860, and came to Hancock county,
Illinois, with his parents in 1866. He
attended the public schools there until
he was 16 years Of age. He was then
given a position as "caller" for the rail-
way agent at Warsaw, his duty being to
hunt up trainmen when it came their
time to take the road. While in this
position he learned telegraphy.
He then served on surveying
corps as chairbearer for several
brakeman on the Keokuk s. North
western. He afterward went on the T.
P. s. W. and served as brakeman, bag
gsgemsn and conductor, and remained
with the company until about three years
ago. 1t was while he was working on
the railroad that he studied law. devoting
every spare moment in the perussl of the
text books. He was examined and adj
mitted to the bar at Springfield in 1890.
Mr.. Plantz has been active in local
politics in Hancock county for several
years. He was twice elected alderman,
and in 1891 was elected mayor OF War
saw. For this office be was nominated
by Col. Marsh. his present opponent for
a seat in congress. He has represented
his county in several conventions. and
was q delegate from this district to the
national convention this year.
Mr.. Plantz was married in August
1891. to Miss Nellie Dallsm, sister of
Phil Dsllam, editor of the Warsaw Bulle-
tin. One child, a boy, has blessed their
union

One of the great democratic thinkers
and workers of this state and a represent
alive German is Washington Hesing, ed
itor of the Chicago Staatz Zeituug, and a
possible Worlds Fair mayor. Mr.. Hesing,
as the Quincy Herald says. was not al
ways q democrat but could not help be-
coming one with his love of free governs
ment and his desire for unhampered
commercial relations with the ends of
the earth. To him as much as anyone is
attributed the establishment of demo-
cratic headquarters in Chicago. He
spent two days with Grover Cleveland at
the ex-president's invitation and much of
the time was spent in impressing the
great commoner with a sense of the great
importance of the Mississippi valley at
this time. Mr.. Hesing believed that the
democrats could win in Illinois and his
views may be briefly summarized as fol-
lows:
Whenever the Germans have been in~
terested in a principle the vote of the
republicans has been cast down, and in
many instances the democrats have car
ried the day. This year we can with
proper organization and help do better
than we have ever done. Mr.. Altgeld,
our candidate for governor, is a German
and has the sympathy and confidence of
the people OF his nationality. We are
thus strong locally, and we are favored
by the nomination OF Mr. Cleveland,
whose very name is synonym for hon.
esty, and who has endesred himself to
the hearts of all Germans. We have also
been favored by the selection of Mr..
Stevenson, one OF the most popular dem
ocrats in our state. In 1872 Grant car
ried Illinois by 10000. In 1874, only
two years after Grants big majority. the
Germans had grievance against the re.
publican party, and two democratic
candidates for state offices were
elected. In 1875. when many Germans
voted for Tllden. the republican
majority was only 10000. In
1880. when the German vote returned to
Garfield. the republican majority was
swelled to 41.O0O. In 1884 Mr.. Cleve-
land was defeated by only 10000. 10
1886. when there was no special princi-
pie in the fight. the republicans carried
the state by $4,000. In 1888 Harrison
had only 20. 600 majority. and the repub-
lican candidate for governor had a plu-
rality of only IL, 600. In 1890, when the
little red school house issue had come to
the front, MIR Raab, the democratic cam
didste for superintendent Of public in
structiou, was elected by 5000 MAJOR
ity. and Mr.. Wilson (Dem.) was elected
state treasurer by IL 600. The differ
ence between the vote Cor Raab and Will
son was due entirely to the German vote,
and the latter had popular vote getter
running against him on the republican
ticket"
Mr.. Hesing's final appeal for head
quarters was prefaced with this state
ment: Elm Illinois there are $4,000 en-
rolled German voters who are active
members of the Protestant church. am

GENERAL Blacks recent address at
Bloomington was an eloquent and pow
erful arraignment of protectionism as a
system at war with fundamental rights Of
citizens and fundamental principles of
justice, and as the prolific mother of
gan at the foundation and indicated the
line upon which the great battle for lib
erty and equality. as opposed to privi-
leRe and favoritism. must be fought by
appealing to the common sense of JUS
tice. and holding protectionism up to
public detestation as q mode Of licensed
robbery and a scheme for the enrichment
of privileged classes at the expense Of
the plundered masses.
He took for his text famous deliver
ance of the supreme court of the United
States in the following words:
To lay with one hand the power Of
the government on the property of the
citizen and with the other to bestow it
upon favored individuals, to aid private
enterprises. and build up private for
tunes. is none the less a robbery because
it is done under the forms of law and is
called taxation. This is not legisla-
ton; it is a decree under legislative
forms.
In this emphatic language, the Chi
cago Herald says, the highest tribunal in
the land lays down not only American
law, but. as Gen. Black says. "a law

HE Yellowstone Park trust should
be adding to the long list of republican
monopolies. After spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars of the peoples
money on this pleasure ground it has
handed owe to Harrison, Hershfield and
Carter as a private snap. The st. Louis
Republic voices the sentiment of the
country generally on this subject. 1t
says:
The Yellowstone Park monopoly is both
a scandal and a nuisance. Its features AZ a
nuisance receive forcibly illustration from
the arrest of twenty American citizens who
had committed the crime of not hiring
their horses from Russell Harrison's friends.
to whom tho administration has given a
monopoly of certain park privileges such
as furnishing guides and transportation.
The park does not belong to BENJAMIN
Harrison, to Russell Harrison or to John
W. Noble, but to the United States. Yet
now if a citizen of the United States hires
a horse or q guide except from Iiuss Hnrri-
sons friends, Messrs. Benjamin Harrison
and John w. Noble treat him like a GRIM
ina.
When an American citizen hires a team
he controls it as if it were his own, and he
has the right to drive it on any roadway in
any park or other public grounds where
teams are allowed at all.
Suppose the mayor OF St. Louis had a
son to whose friends be should cause to be
granted "the exclusive privilege of furnish
ing transportation" in Forest park; suppose
that everyone found driving in Forest park
any team not hired from this MONOPOLY
were liable to be hauled up and put out of
the park. what would be said of it by the
newspapers that are now UNFOLDING this
scandalous monopoly in the Yellowstone
Park2
BY what right do Messrs. Harrison and
Noble undertake to say that Americans
shall be excluded from this American
ground unless they enter it through a toll
gate at which Russell Harrison's oronies
are the Ratekeekeepers and tolltakers?
The only way to break up this trust
is to defeat Benjamin Harrison for re-
election. The people of Montana will
do their share toward bringing about
that desired end.

The following excerpt from a recent in
terview strikes the key to relief in a few
words. He says: II think the true
mission of labor organizations should be
to properly educate their members, weed
out the black sheep and provide a life
insurance scheme whose benefits would
be worth working for. The worker
should DO able to feel sure that if by
hard fortune he should become incapac-
itated there is still a, protecting hand to
give his remaining days some bright
ness; that there is safety from the poor
house and freedom from the anxieties
and fortunes of absolute poverty. And
in case Of death there would be some
thing to support the wife and children,
otherwise thrown on the mercies of the
world. Here the workingman would
have something to work for; he would
not feel himself cut off from all the
world; he would not be confronted con-
stantly with expectations of misery.
Manliness would assert itself. There
would be no danger of disloyalty. The
laborer would be a patriot always. He
would ave be a law breaker" Mr.
Gould is right. There would be fewer
difficulties if laboringmen would get rid
