JONES OF NEVADA
Withdraws From the Republican
Party and Joins the Populists.

Populists throughout the country
will be greatly rejoiced at the Access
sion to their ranks of so distinguish
ed a statesman as Senator Jones of
Nevada, the Nestor of the republican
party in the United States Senate.
''Mr. Jones adieu to the republican
party" says the Washington CORES
pOndent of the Rocky Mountain
News, "was a great surprise and was
admitted with wide regret, because
he has hitherto been a tower of
strength. To his wise judgment and
personal activity the republicans ad-
mittedly owe many of their national
triumphs; besides, he has always
been regarded as one of the deepest
thinkers and ableSt debaters on the
republican side of the senate, and his
answering loyalty to his party at
critical junctures has been a matter
of considerable political note.''
The logic of events is driving the
thinking men out of both the old
parties. Gen. Rosser, Of Virginia,
and Congressman Bryan, of Nevada
have lately come over to us, and there
are others known to be on the point
of turning' The prospect certainly is
that there will soon be a stampede to
the Lords side from both the demo-
cratic and republican parties.

NOn-PartiSan Judiciary.

Referring to the nomination of Mr..
W. A. Wilkes by the populists for
judge of the First judicial district of
South Dakota, mentioned in the
REPRESENTATIVE last week, the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader says:
Gin nominating Mr.. Wilkes the
populists have followed the path
marked out by them in the nomina-
tion of E. B. Meredith last fall. Mr..
Wilkes is man of unquestiOned
ability and integrity and would if
elected make an unexceptionable
judge. But his personality sinks out
of sight in the cause he represents. "
Mr.. Wilkes possesses unquestioned
ability and unimpeachable integrity,
therefore he should not be elected.
"He would make an unexceptionable
judge" therefore he should be de-
feated. These qualities "sink out of
sight," in the estimation of the high
toned exponent of South-Dakota de-
mocracy, in the cause which Mr..
Wilkes represents.
If the populists should nominate
the Saviour, the Argus-Leader would
have him defeated because of
"the cause he represents," and
elect the devil to the district bench
if nominated by a democratic con-
VentiOn.

As Long as You Live

You will regret it, if you fail to
see the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Every one who has visited it says it
is the grandest and most beautiful
display of the products of science,
art, and industry that mankind has
ever seen, and beside it all previous

canoe. 1t represents an expenditure
of two hundred millions of dollars,
and we shall not look upon it's like

three short weeks remain in which
you will have the opportunity to visit
it. To see, even for week, this

education, no matter how good it
may have been, with invaluable
information. Rates of fare are
very low, and you can live in
Chicago as cheaply as anywhere in
America. You cannot afford to miss
the Fair. Get ready to 60 soon, and

Think it Over.

The supreme court having decided
that what one man can do alone he
can join with hundreds or thousands
and do collectively, what is to pre-
vent the farmers, this winter, from
all clubbing together, in this state,
and agreeing upon price for wheat,
oats, corn, beef, pork, butter, etc.
The machinery of the farmers ALI
ance could be used; and a central
committee appointed: and circulars
sent out to all members. If the price
of wheat could be put up q cents a
bushel it would put $1,000, 600 in the
pockets of the farmers. That would
save a great many homes. If we sue
ceeded in the scheme the DakOtas
would come in with US.

Appreciation of Gold.

When by reason of legislation in
the interests of bondholders the
greenback became "depreciated" to
4Oc. on the dollar, the finger of scorn
was pointed at it until man felt
like apologizing to himself for own
ing one Of them. When the people
became wiser, they knew that the
greenback was all right; that gold
had gone up to $3.50. So to-day the
"dishonest'' SOC. silver dollar at it's in
trinsic value is not deprecated; it
will buy just as much wheat, just
as much cotton, just as much mer-
chandise Of any kind as it ever
would. But the gold dollar has
again appreciated, and as before the
people are the sufferers.

ranged as Song, Trio and Chorus.
and has been copyrighted and issued

James B. Weaver says of it: ct is
the song we have been waiting for.
It is an laid of ITSELF"
There's a sound Of swelling waters,
There's voice from out the blue.
Where the Master His arm is revealing
Lo! the glory of the morning
Lights the forehead of the New,
And the towers of the Old Time are
reeling.
There is doubt within the temples
Where the. gods are bought and sold
They are leaving the false for the true
There's cry of Consideration
Where the idols made of gold
Are melting in the glance of the New
day.
Lift high the banner,
Break from the chain,
Wake from the thralldom of story
Like the torrent to the river,
The river to the main,
Forward to Liberty and Glory!
There is tramping in the cities,
where the people march along.
And the trumpet of Justice is Calling
There's crashing of the helmet
On the forehead of the Wrong,
And the battlements of Babylon are
failing.
o! the master Of the morning
How we waited for his light
In the old days of doubling and fear
ing
How we watched among the shadows
OF the long and weary night
For his feet upon the mountains appear

Join the chorus of the lands

The coal combine which the dough-

worse than ever this winter. With
Donnelly in the governors chair and
justice in the courts, these modern

DO Not Miss the Worlds Fair.

Century Magazine for Oct. 1898:
Some weeks still remain
in which those who have not seen
the Worlds Fair may yet enjoy that
never-tO-be-renewed privilege. In
the general establishment at the
beauty of the housing of the eXhi-
bition perhaps not enough has been
said concerning the contents. That
these are we'll worthy the attention
of the student of every or any de-
partment of human enterprise goes
without the saying-though in some
departments much more than in
others the truly Institutional meth
cd has been observed.
1t still remains true that the
greatest feature of the exhibition
is the architecture and the land
scape gardening, including in these
all their sculptured and painted
decorations and adjuncts. In these
the deepest pleasure and the deepest
instruction are to be found, as we'll
as the largest and longest benefit to
the country.
If the visitor can only be single
day at the Fair or single night, it
is worth any sacrifice to enjoy this
alone. And if it were to be a cues
tion between the daytime or the
illumination at night we would ad-
wise the latter; for surely no eyes
now open on this world are likely
ever again to behold any sight SO
nObly beautiful.

DAN VOORHEES,.
How He Talked of Free Coinage
Few Years Ago.

Hon. D. w. Voorhees,, of Indiana
on Dec. Is, 1891, in the course of his
remarks on the fiscal policy of the
government, made use of the follow
ing words. His record, made when
he was representative of the people,
has an inconvenient way of Hopping
up in his face, now that he is become
representative of Wall Street:
And now Sir, what response has the
business of the country during near
ly four years past, made to the evil
and vehement representations
against the use of silver money? Has
it brought ruin? Has it brought
calamity? Has it brought distress
to the people? Who has the hardi-
hood to say so?
On the contrary, behold contrast
in the condition of the country. The
five years, during which silver did
not exist as legal currency, were
years of the most appalling financial
disaster ever known in American
history. lam speaking now of what
all men know, and stating that
which no man Will deny. From 1873
to 1878 there was period of mourn
ing over lost property, lost homes,
lost labor, in every active business
community in the United States.
...... The passage of the silver
bill was accompanied by groans and
lamentations of the associated ma
tional banks, expressed in many
sombre memorial, petition, remon-
STRANGE expostulation, laid before
congress.
The act of congress by which silver
was dishonored was a prominent
feature in the most unrighteOus and
criminal endeavOr to so contract, cut
down, and diminish the amount of
money in use among the people, that
the boarded millions of the banker
and the capitalist would have more
power in the affairs of men than all
the other powers of this government
combined. The dream of certain
minds in this country has been for
many years past, to create in fact, ii
not in name, an order of ariStOcracy,
privileged class with rank and i'm
portance founded, not on intellect.
culture, refinement, grace or good
ness, but upon their success in the
practice of avarice, the meanest and
most sordid passion of the human
heart ever spoken of in the heavens
above or in the earth below. In fur
therance of this purpose the posses
sion of money, especially in consider
able sums being a badge of the new
nobility, the common people were to
have as little of it as possible, and
for that little to be dependent entire
ly on the lords of capital"

Our readers will remember that
last weeks REPRESENTATIVE an
nounced the fact that Senator L. r.
BOlter, state senator and for sixteen
years leading democrat of Iowa, had
quit his party and joined the popu-
lists. Following is the text of his
letter to the chairman of the peoples
party state central committee set
ting forth the reason for his action:
SENATOR BOLTER's LETTER.
Hon. r. G.. Scott, Des Moines, Ia.
Dear Sir-Your kind letter of the
goth inst. duly received, and all must
admit the truth of what you say.
Yes, we have come to the parting of
the ways. A political revolution is
upon us. The lines are rapidly form
ing. The American people are to-
day the
GREATEST DEBTOR PEOPLE ON
EARTH
and these debts, though repre-
sented in different forms are
largely held by Great Britain. To
adopt single gold standard at this
time, and under such circumstances,
would be equal to, aye worse than,
placing British guard over every
house. The fraud of 1873, miscalled
an act OF congress, should uncondi-
tiOnally and without time to debate,
be repealed Nor should congress
stop here.
A FULL LEGAL TENDER PAPER
MONEY
should at once be provided
for and enough issued, directly
by the government, not only to re-
lieve the present stringency, but suf-
ticient in quantity to do the vast
business of the country on "pay-as-
you-go' principle. The stupendous
crime of placing chattle mortgages
on children not yet born, by issuing
bonds payable by future generations,
should not only forever hereafter
cease, but any attempt SO to do,
should be regarded and punished not
as high miSdemeanOr merely, but
as a cowardly and wicked felony
Had always hoped and believed, that
should the democrats, in whose cause
have faithfully labored all my man
hoods years, come into power, it
would adopt these, or similar meas
ures without unnecessary delay. We
are in the midst of such a financial
drouth as never overshadowed the
republic before. Under the present
condition it is clear that all mort
gagged homes must surely go. Tens
of thousands of homes that are not
mortgaged, but whose owners are in
debt, must also be swallowed up by
the same insa table nav if the pres
ent situation continues for even a
few months or at most a few years.
This is admitted by all What
remedy is proposed? In Washington,
we are told by leading men of both
parties, that the remedy lies in
MAKING MONEY STILL SCARCER,
the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man act! In Iowa we are informed by
very high authority that, no national
issues need apply for consideration,
that we really have no voice or influ-
ence whatever over these great and
pressing questions, that all our ills,
in this state lie in the gateway of the
beer-keg issue. L. r. BOLTER.
