A LABOR DEPARTMENT.

We have so many supporters
among the workingmen of St. Paul
and Minneapolis, that we shall
establish labor department, under
the charge of some competent labor
leader, who will especially discuss
all matters of interest to the wage
workers. The Omaha platform de-
clared that hereafter the tillers of
the soil and the mechanics of the
cities are to work together for their
mutual protection and advance
ment. This must be so, for each is
powerless without the other.

ARMAGEDDON.

WAR SONG OF THE FUTURE.
Marching dowE to Armageddon-broth-
ers stout and strong!
Let US cheer the way we tread on with a
soldiers song!
Faint we by the weary road or fall we
in the rout.
Dirge or paean, death or triumph, let
the song ring out!
We are they VINO scorn the scorners-
love the lOverS-hate
None within the worlds four corners
all must have one fate;
We are they whose common banner
bears no badge or sign,
Save the light which dyes it white-the
hope that makes it shine
We are they whose bugle rings that al,
the wars may cease;
We are they will pay the kings the cruel
price of peace;
We are they whose steadfast watchword
is what Christ did teach
Each man for his brother first, and then
heaven for each.
We are they who will not falter-many
swords or few
Till we make the earth the altar of
worship new:
We are they who will not take from
palace, priest or code
A meaner law than "Brotherhood"-a
lower law than God.
Marching down to Armageddon -
brothers bold and strong,
Ask not why the way we tread on is so
rough and long.
God will tell us when our spirits grow
to grasp His plan;
Let US do our work to-day, and help Him
helping Man.
Shall we even curse the madness which
for lends Of state''
Dooms US to the long, long sadness of
this human hate!
Let US STAY in perfect pity those that
must not live;
Vanquish and forgive our foes-or fall
and still forgive.
We are those whose unpaid legions, in
free ranks arrayed,
Massacred in many regions-never once
were stayed;
We are those whose torn battalions,
trained to bleed, not fly,
Make our agonies triumph
while we die.
Therefore down to Armageddon-
brothers, bold rand strong;
Cheer the Sforious way we tre.R on
with a1soldicr's song;
Let the arm IS of the old flags NAL eh in

tutional functions. It is true that
the attempt was not great success,
as the judge who called a member
of the legislature before his bench
to answer for his acts in the legisla-
ture must himself now answer be-
fore the bar of the senate for NAL
feasance in Office. Not discouraged
by this failure, however, step still
further has been taken in Nebraska,
where an application to the SUI
preme court has been made for an
injunction to restrain the governor
from vetoing an act of the legisla-
ture. If the courts were the SUI

At the Butchers

Judge Pennybunker is not happy
man. He is a gourmand or ''an
epicac," as Mrs. Partington would
say. 1t costs money to buy the
delicacies of the season and Penny
bunker is not rich. He happened to
see splendid saddle of venison in
butchers window. He went in and
asked the price of it. Then he
came out and sighed. But he wanted
it very bad, but So was too much
money He made up his mind that
he could not afford to pay SO much.
On his way home Pennybunker met
Gus de Smith.
For heavens sake, Pennybunker,
lend me S.. am so pressed for
money that am almost crazy" said
Gus.
"But, Gus, you have not paid me
back what l lent you lastweek."
mo, but Tll do so pretty soon,
judge"
Kind-hearted Judge Pennybunker
took out his pocket book and handed
Gus crisp five-dollar bill. Gus
wept tears of gratitude and hurried
away. vs~
In the meantime Pennybunker's
hunger had increased. His yearn-
ing for venison became stronger.
At last he said to himself:
"a man only lives once himself,so
he might as well enjoy himself
while he can. I'll have that saddle
of venison for dinner
He hurried back to the butcher.
.In take the saddle of venison
now.'
I'm sorry, Judge, but it is sold.

: THE CAPITOL BILL.

There were three votes taken on
the passage of the bill. Each time
Mr.. Donnelly voted no. A motion
was made to suspend the rules and
pass it. Mr.. Donnelly voted aye be-
cause it was evident the bill would
pass anyhow, and it would be better
to get it out of the road and give
>chance to act upon other and more
important measures. The motion
failed, but the wisdom of it was
shown by the fact that the bill came
up two days afterwards, and con-
sumed the whole of one afternoon,
at a cost of several hundred dollars
to the state, and was then passed by
an increased vote. A half a day
wasted when hundreds of good bills
were certain to perish for want of
time, was a criminal waste of pub
lie time and money. And yet, for
this very proper action Mr.. Donnel-
ly has been attacked in certain
nameless quarter.

A QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE
ANSWERED.

After calmly and carefully con-
sidering the action of the Penn
svlvania militia at Homestead, and
the Kansas militia at Topeka this
last winter will some one give
single good reason why such an or
ganization should exist at all? Have
they ever accomplished anything
more than to give few men a soft

THE RECENT LEGISLATURE.

1t is too soon to sum up the work
of this session of the legislature,
which has just closed. It did some
good work and some very bad work.
AS long as the rings and com bina-
tions let them alone the members
and senator's acted fairly and hon.
estly, but when the Doodle began to
be poured out the results were very
bad. The REPRESENTATIVE will make
a specially of discussions of the
work done and left undone. It will
try to enlighten the people; and at
the same time do justice to men and
measures without regard to party.

TO THE SHARP ALECKS.

The politicians will all want to
take THE REPREsENTATIvE-if for no
other reason than because when the
fur begins to fly they will want to
see what we have to say about them.
And they may be dead sure of one
thing-we will have our say on
every subject and every public man.

NATTER ENOUGH.

There is world of interesting
matter to discuss in subsequent
numbers. The doings of the recent
legislature will afford a rich field,
and we propose to cultivate it thor
oughly. Rarely has SO good body
of men done so much mean work.
The Populist party is to-day more a
necessity than ever.

The Death OF the ReDnbIic.

The Minneapolis Tribune (Repub-
lican organ) publishes a wonderful
article in its issue of April 16
which shows that the Populist ed
ltors and orators have not lived and
labored in vain. We make a few
extracts:
The United States Of to-day is full
of business. There is great strug-
gle TO ''get to the front" Every
where the sign is up, This is my
busy day." Money making and the
love of the splendor which money
buys seems to be the ruling Amer
lean passions. Churches must be
splendid and solid; private residen-
ces must reflect the wealth of the
owner and the taste which his mon
ey buys; offices must be finished and
furnished with carving and gliding,
with silver and gold bronze; con-
veniences and luxuries for living
and especially for the business by
which the living is made-must
abound and be multiplied.
The age is busy-money making.
Hearts are growing harder, senti-
ment is laughed at, sneers are
launched at all things which have
no money in them. 1t is not asked,
'ls there any Joy in it, is there hope
for some poor wretch in this?" but,
us there any money in it," Of
lenses are condoned, if the offend
er's profits are great enough. The
moral sense of the public is dazzled
with the flash of money Com.
binations of capital are formed
from the greed of those who COM
bine because legitimate profits are
not coming fast enough. Trusts are
made to whip or crush the small or
old-fashioned concern content with
the old way of doing business
There are institutions mighty be-
cause rich, welding power which
the barons of old only hoped for.
The influence of this great power is
said to reach into the legislative
halls and to touch the robes of the
judges upon the bench. No doubt
the reports of this influence are ex-
aggerated. There is more con-
science behind the power than it is
believed exists. But the power is
great and what it may do the people
are ready to believe it has done.
The most shocking feature of all
this is that the people are not
shocked. They read that the poor
are gowing poorer, but they ascribe
such talk to the calamityites or
answer it with a phrase Affirming
great confidence in the good sense
of the American people. A feeble
wall goes up here and there, but it
is drowned by the cry ofthe enthusi-
astic money makers who are shout
ing, progress and enlargement"
Away with the pissimists, they
cry. This is great and glorious
country and here are rows and rows
of figures to prove our great pros
perity."
That the country is prosperous is
true. That the calamity howlers'
are generally the failures who fail
for natural reasons is also true
But this does not make the other
fact less true that the money-mak-
ing, carried to such an extreme as it
seems it will be carried if the brakes
are not put on, is one of the dangers
to be avoided. Too much luxury
means destruction to republican in
situations. Concentration of wealth
in few hands means disaster for the
people.

DREW THE COLOR LINE.

Negro Barber Sues u Restaurateur for AL
legged Determination.
There is at least one eating house In this
oity conducted on Southern principles
where the color line is very closely drawn,
as was demonstrated by suit filed yester-
day afternoon against Bert Little, pro-
prietor of the chophouse at No. 665 Vir-
GINA avenue. near the Fountain square.
The plaintiff In the suit is William Z. CIV
ems, the proprietor of barber shop at No.
SIT Virginia avenue. In his complaint
Givens alleges that Little is the
proprietor of the restaurant at the given
number and that is public house. He al
leges that few days since he went into
the restaurant for the purpose Of procuring
his brea fast, and at the time there were
several other persons In the place. The
plaintiff says be was dressed neatly and
clearly and conducted himself In a proper
manner. and gave his order for breakfast,
consisting of bread, coffee and potatoes,
all of which he alleges the defendant had
on hand for the purpose of supplying pat
rons. but that he refused TO supply them TO
the plaintitf. and gave as reason for his
refusal the fact that Givens was coiOred
man, say ing that nons of his race would be
permitted to eat in the restaurant Glvens
charges that he was thereupon elected
from the premises. He asks s., 900 damages
for his wounded feelings.

WAR BETWEEN THE COURTS
Judge Bartholomew Declines TO Take
COgnizance of Judge Bakers Order.
Line Drawn. in Restaurant
Court Miscellany.
1T GOES MERRILY on.

No Cessation or Compromise In the War be-
tween the Courts.
The war between the State and federal
courts goes merriiy on. both Judge Bar
tholomew and Judge Baker eyincing dis
position to proceed with the case of PulIiam
against the l.. Z. Il w. railroad as orig
inally undertaken by each court. Judge
Baker has issued restraining order TO pre-
vent the plaintiff from proceeding further
with his case in the State court. anG to
proceed in the face of this order simply
means confinement in the jail for contempt
of court Judge Bartholomew still main
talns that Judge Baker has no Jurisdiction
In the case and refuses to recognize his
authority to control the act! ON Of the State
court.
Yesterday morning William V. Rocker,
attorney for Pulliam. appeared in Judge
Bartholomew court and filed petition
asking that the case be dismissed from the
court in order that he might proceed to the
trial of the case In the federal court. In
his petition Mr.. Rocker stated that he de-
sired to try the case in the State court and
not in the federal court. but that on ac-
count Of the restraining order issued
against his client he could not do SO. and
for this reason alone he asked that the
case be dismissed. Judge Bartholomew re-
fused to allow the dismissal. to which rul-
ing Rocker took exceptions. and was al
lowed ten days within which to file his bill
of exceptions. Judge Bartholomew then
continued the case In his court. Judge
Baker. in the federal court. has given the
attorneys in the case until the Goth inst. TO
file the proper pieadings In his oourt and
proceed with the trial. In the State courts
the case will probably be carried to the
Supreme Court as q test cast.
