It does not take much to make
some men happy. There is chap in
Duluth who has the spirit of Dio-
genes, who, in his tub, told Alexan-
der the Great that all he wanted was
for him to stand out of his sunlight.
He says:
"We could live on parched wheat
if we had to, and wheat is but SOC
bushel. We guess nobody will
starve. ."-Duluth Commonwealth.
Cheerful spirit Yes; and we can
parch the wheat with burned hay or
straw. And all civilized man is en-
titled to is parched wheat" in this
10th century, the climax of the
worlds culture and civilization!
But why should we be content with
parched wheat? In order that some
body slse may be a millionaire-with
our money!! Parched wheat and
wooden shoes! Splendid prospect !!
Thank you, democracy. Thank you,
republicanism. Thank you Mr..
Bbthschild.

course.

provement, ,"-(and in some sense
that would be soD-and we will have
precisely similar case to that un.
der consideration.
But all this amounts to nothing:
1t is simply common sense; and
what has common sense to do with
that sublime science they call law?
About as much as the subtleties of
the monks, in the middle ages, when
they disputed how many devils could
dance on the point of needle, had
to do with the essential Spirit of
Christianity.
If ever any country needed new
party, and new set of leaders, fresh
from the body of the people, it is
this unfortunate, God-forsaken,
court-governed, ring-speckled, cor
poration-ridden, mammon-worship-
ping, cowardly, stupid United States.
But even in these the light is dawn
ing. Nearly every fellow has now
got an aurora-borealis dancing and
sparkling in his empty pocket or his
empty stomach; and the corrusca-
ting lances of original thought are
piercing the dark domains of, what
they call their intellects. The liber-
ties of the nation may yet be saved
through the bankrupcy of the fools.

Interesting Facts.

That very able lady, Miss G. II.
Spence of Australia, an earnest Ba-
CONAN, has sent me a copy of the
South Australian Register, pub
lished at Adelaide, July 5, and con-
tanning one of her letters from San
Francisco. 1t contains a number of
striking facts; some of which may be
interesting to our readers.
She gives a comparison of the cost
of railway travel in Australia, where
the government owns the roads and
America where they do not. She
shows that it costs her $40 to travel
1908 miles in Australia while 900
miles in San Francisco cost her
$2O.S7; although there was not one
fourth part the intermediate traffic
in Australia that there was in Cali
fornia.
She says:
"There are many unemployed in
this city, and great deal of poverty
side by side with great deal of
wealth. There have been more sui
cides on account of hopeless destitu-
tion, within the last year, than were
ever known here before"
"From all sides, from members of
all parties, comes the same COM
plaint, that the railroads and the
trusts and the protected industries
run the peoples legislature and the
city government"
It will be seen that the disease
which effects Minnesota is common
to the whole country.
Miss Spence argues that populists,
prohibitionists, single-taxers and all
should first unite and get possession
of the power of the state and nation;
then 60 together as far as they can
and divide when they must. They
are all opposed to the old parties;
but by their divisions they help to
keep them in power.
She observes of the people:
ssThere is every sort of European
on the streets, besides the native
born Californian, and the Americans
who come from the east at an earlier
or later date. AS whole these
have a fresher and more English
look than they have in the eastern
states. The women have more bloom
and the men more flesh."
Her picture of the condition of the
agricultural and laboring population
of California is discouraging.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. Sat a
meeting held in Virginia, presided
over by member of the village

address sets forth the fact that
there are in the village of Virginia
200 families averaging five to fam
lily and nearly 1,0OO single men who
have neither money nor food and
who are entirely unable to get mon
ey due them for work done during
the past three months. Unless they
are given aid there must be great
suffering and the consequences can
not but be serious. They ask that
soup houses be established, either
at Virginia or Duluth, in case free
fare can be obtained to this city and
that some organized charitable work
be undertaken in their behalf. At
the other range towns the situation
is practically unchanged.

still some money and a pinch will

The BOhn Case.

w naJ is the use, anyhow, of a con-
stltutlon and law? We NAV as we'll
turn the entire business of govern
menu over to the supreme court

lt.-Albert Lea Standard.
Precisely. What is the use of the
forms of free government when the
spirit of the thing has departed.
Let the people work and pay taxes
an1 the corporations run the govern.
ment through the courts.
That decision in the Bohn case has
kicked up great rumpus. The
Lanesboro Journal say:
The decision of Judge Mitchell
OF the supreme court of this state in
Ihe Bonn case, is meat and drink for
the lumber and other trusts. 1t
WOuid lndlcate that under the pres
ent laws the people have no rights
that trusts are bound to respect, or
that our supreme court is the plant
tool of unjust combinations of capi-
tai. Which is needed, change in
the law or the impeachment of the
cOurt?"
You can't do it, my friend. We
have quarantined against the evils
or self government;-th legislature
'only meets once in two years and
then but for ninety days. The law
making power is disease, like the
cholera, which the public must be
protected against, at all hazards.
The Albert Lea Standard says:
1t is probable that articles of i'm
parchment will be presented in the
next legislature against the Judges
OF the supreme court of this state
for their decision in the Rohn man
ufacturlng company case. The more
it is considered the more fragrant it
is seen to be. It fatty overrides the
constitution and expunges the anti
trust law from the statues. Lead
ing newspapers throughout the
United States are arraigning the
Judges severely, and without minc-
ing OF words are cOndemning them
for their extraordinary usurpation
OF the constitution and the law and
for their seemingly willful and wick
ed perversion of justice.
The gistsof the decision of the su-
preme court is, that anything a man
can do singly he can unite with
others and do collectively. A man
has right to fix the price of the
goods he has for sale. ERGO, ten
thousand men can unite and fix the
same price on all the goods they
have for sale. Ergo, there can be no
trust or unlawful combination. En-
go, the people have found a new
master, more cruel and oppressive
than ever was old George!!!
But-says somebody-the constitu-
tion and the laws prescribe trusts.
Pooh! What does that amount to?
Bow down to Gesler's hat. There it
is-on that bench. And what is
that shadowy, long-armed thing be-
hind it, with glimpses of bayonets
shining through it, and cloudy with
cannon smoke. Down on your
knees! That is the PLUTOCRACY.

The Tariff.

Mr.. Cleveland says that Congress
will not touch the tariff question un-

Last fall the democrats told us
that the country never would be
prosperous until they revised the
tariff.
And if the country becomes pros
porous what's the use of revising the
tariff? Why disturb what's we'll
enough?
Really it makes ones head swim!
No revision of the tariff until the
country is prosperous; no prosperity
until there is tariff revision; no
necessity for revision while the
country is prosperous; can't revise it
when it isn't prosperous;-no pros
perity without revision; no revision
without prosperity no-Oh

Blood Will Tell.

Thomas Johnson, brother Of Col.
G. w. johnson, clerk of the United

brought to the lookup and placed
behind the bars by A. w. Russell
on charge Of petit larceny. He is
accused of taking carpet from a
woman he was helping to move.
johnson states she would not pay
him, and he concluded to pay him
self. Mr.. Russell recommended
Johnson as honest, in consequence
of which he states there was an at
tempt to implicate him in the theft,
wholly without cause. Russell is a

This is curious. One brother hold

countenance ON the North Ameri-

about his swollen, hang-dog mouth
and his sullen, glowering eyes that
is enough to alarm any one that be-

help the cause if you can't help the

STILL PLOTTING.

Sec. Carlisle is the center of attraction
in the business world just now. He has
not yet had the nerve to use "coin," gold
and silver, in the payment of certificates
issued on silver bullion, but he has pre-
ferred to dive into the gold reserve and
use part of that fund for meeting these
certificates. It is but fair to say, how
ever, that this action was forced upon the
secretary, and that had the latter been
left to his own resources he would, very
likely, have taken the financial bull by
the horns and used at least part of sill
yer in redeeming these certificates. As it
is, Wall street and the friends of the sim
gle standard have won, but in doing so
they have fallen short of settling any of
the difficulties surrounding the finances
of the government, and gold may yet 60
to premium through their stupidity.
And If it does, then what? Well, it won't
stay there long enough to hurt the west,
for the west has gold as we'll as silver in
the vaults of it's banks. Chicago to-day
has moro of gold reserve than New
York-and if the Wall street fellows
think they can cripple the west and kill
the demand for fair play for silver by
forcing gold to premium, why, let them
crack their whips and sail in.
