Patriotic entertainment.

The entertainment given at the Bap

auspices of the Y. p. 5. G. E., was
UNIQUE and interesting. All Of the Sc

this feature being suggested by the

Cunning for Big Game.

The late Ramsey county grand
jury, which concluded it's labors on
the Goth inst, was a different body
from that which refused to indict
John J. Rhodes for perjury because
he was wealthy, while it clapped the
mailed hand of the law upon the
petty criminal with the force of an

In Nebraska Cleveland used the
federal patronage to pack the state
convention with administration heel
ers and secure the official endorse
ment of the state organization. He
succeeded, but at the price of split
ting the party in that state. A cir
cular was sent to every applicant for
a post Office in the state to the effect
that they must attend the state con-
vention and bring an administration
delegation with them or the state
central committee would withdraw
it's approval of their application.
The effect was electrical. The deal
was engineered by Cleveland's secre-
tary of agriculture, J. S. Morton.
Congressman Bryan acithdreac from
the party and united with the popu-
lists, and was given an ovation by his
democratic adherents, who will follow
him. Nebraska will stand in the
populist column after November.

An Exclamation.

On the second page of the REPRE-
SENTATIVE of October 18th there
appeared in our forum an official
statement, signed by the national
executive officers of the N. F. A.
and l. o., with editorial comment,
regarding the n. Y. Mutual Life in
surance company. 1t was not stated
in. and we did not mean it should
be inferred from, the article or our
references to it, that this company
is to displace the National Alliance
Aid. We suppose the N. Y. Mutual
to be supplementary to the Aid,-
recommended as a safe company by
the committee to alliance men who
may prefer the old line companies,
or more insurance then the Aid pro-
vides. Mr.. Long, the state agent, is
doing energetic work for the latter,
and the Aid, so far as we know, is
paying it's losses promptly We trust
this explanation will prevent any
misunderstanding.

Mr.. DOnnelly at HalIock.

Hon.. Ignatius Donnelly spoke at
Hallock last Saturday, before the
Kittson county fair. He had an i'm
mense audience,-the court room
was packed to the doors, and many
were unable to get in. He was lis
tened to with great attention, inter
rupted by frequent applause. His
subjects were farming, railroads, and
the financial question, as affecting
agriculture.
He received large numer of sub
scriptions for the REPRESENTATIVE,
and found the paper very popular;
but the people very poor. Mr.. Don

for the paper and said, II have

New PODuIiSt PAPERS.


The Magnolia Advance, published
at Magnolia, Rock county, is new
arrival upon our table. The ADJ
vance is clean, sprightly paper,
credit to Magnolia and it's publish
ers, and pusher that is helping the
populist cause in that section. 1t
enjoys good patronage and deserves
it.
The South Dakota State Forum,
populist, is just established at Sioux
Falls S. Oak, under the Management
of the veteran Journalist, M. Rob-
ert Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanan has
been prominant republican leader
His name adds another to the long
list of prominent men who have
abandoned the old parties because
the old parties have abandoned the
people. In the Apology for exist
ence," with which he introduced the
Forum to the public. Mr.. Buchan-
an says:
"The principles advocated by the
populists, are neither visionary nor
revolutionary. They are patriotic,
humanitarian, philosophic. They
have gained too much head way to
be laughed off the track They must
be met, and that upon the field of
reason. and there the duel will be
fought. If they are in error in their
financial views, put them to flight
by argument, it is idle to continue
ridicule. That has been tried, and
yet they grow under it amazingly.
Calling Senator PETER "a hirsute
calamity bowler" as did the New
York Tribune, recently, does not
meet the logic of the Kansas Sen
ator's position. 1t is a reflection on
the times that the rewards of labor
are appropriated by those who
scheme, rather than work, and it is
challenge to the intelligence of the
age that solution of the problem
is imp ,ssible.
The State Forum shall stand for
the elevation of man and the better
ment of the conditions that sur
round the producer and laborer, and
it hopes to be humble instrument
Mr.. Buchanan will make the influ-
ence of the Forum felt in South Da-
kota and outside of that state as
we'll.
On the same day that witnessed
the birth of the Forum at Sioux
Falls, the Helena News made it's
initial appearance at Helena Mon
tana. The placards in it's heading
bear the legend: "a weekly paper
advocating the free coinage Of silver
and all other populist principles, in
the interest of better government
in national, state, county, city, and
school AFFAIRS The News expects
to become a daily by and by. The
populist movement is gathering
momentum every day; the inertia
of the people is overcome and the
party will sweep the country in 1896.
~
The Denver Republican, hereto
fore one of the pillars of the repub-
lican party in the west, has renowned
all allegiance to the G. o. p. and
hoisted the populist standard. 1t
says that if the bimetallic pledge of
every national republican platform
since 1872 has no binding force upon
the conscience of eastern republi-
cans. their western brethren will re-
fuse henceforth to support the pol
icy of protection, which in the past
has done so much for the east and
so little for the west. 1t affirms
that it's attitude is in accordance
with the view of at least 90 per cent.
Of the republicans of Colorado and
of large majority of those in all the
western states. Thus another in
fluential daily is added to the reform
forces. W.

Six Months Old.

This is No. 26. The REPRESENTA-
TIVE is just six months old. 1t was
prophecied, by poor, pesecuted o. pa
triot and honest man (D, that the
first number would never see the
light of day; and when that appeared
he said it was doomed to death be-
fore the second number could posi-
bly, crack the she'll; and every issue
since has been accompanied by awful
howlings of dismal forebodings from
the same moribund Banshee. And
yet we have lived and fourished "like
a green bay tree until to-day we
are the liveliest journalistic corpse
in christendom; with fair promise
to live one hundred years; and with
everybody praising us.
Shake hands, brethren; and 90 to
work and help us quadruple our
large circulation before the second
six months rolls around. We are
here to stay. Not to smash, but to
smash things.
To Clay County Alliances.
At the last annual meeting of the
Clay county alliance the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the president and
lecturer are instructed to visit each
local alliance once during the year.
Every active alliance to set time for
meeting, and notify one of these Of
fcers in time to be present."
So far we have received no notice
of any meeting and we have reason
otherwise to infer that many of the
alliances are not very "active" at
present. AS an effort to remedy this,
and in measure, discharge a duty
enjoined on us by the county alliance,
we venture herewith to give list of
dates when one or both of us will
visit each loacal alliance in the coun-
ty. These meeting will begin at 2
o'clock p. m. unless otherwise ar
ranged by the local alliance. And at
the usual place for such meetings I'M
less two alliances unite, then the To-
cal officers jointly designate a place.
We will further give it as our opinion
that it would be very desirable if the
annual county meeting this year on
December 9Th, could include an even
ing session and lecture by some
Big Gun from below, and possibly
forenoon session the next day. This
could only be accomplished by some
local alliance inviting the county al
lance and caring for the material
substance of it's members in
"Grange fashion," Will some alli-
ance venture the experiment.? The
brethren north and south of us are
active, and the pioneer county in the
movement ought not to lag behind.
These revival meetings will be
without expense to the local alliances
further than caring fop.the visiting
speakers, among whom we hope to
include ADLER ones than your humble
servants. The following will be the
dates Tor these meetings:
Georgetown, Monday, Nov. 9Th. !
Morken, Tuesday, Nov.7.
GlyndOD, Nov. 8.
Cromwell, Nov. 9.
Ulen, Nov. 10.
Hitterdal, Nov. IL.
Hawley, Nov. 13.
POrke, Nov. IA.
Tansem, Nov. Is. !,
GAINESVILLE, Nov. Is.
Sabin, Nov. II.
Moorhead, Nov. 18.
The further advertising and "turn
out" at this meeting will largely rest
with the local officers and active
members in the cause.

DO Not Miss the Worlds Fair.

Century Magazine for Oct. 1893:
Some weeks still remain
in which those who have not seen
the Worlds Fair may yet enjoy that
r-tO-be-renewed privilege. In
the general astonishment 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 anv de-
partment of human enterprise goes
without the saying-though in some
departments much more than in
others the truly inStructiOnal 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 well
as the largest and longest benefit to
the country.
If the visitor can only be a single
day at the Fair or single night. IL
IS worth any sacrifice to eniOv this
alone. And if it were to be a uues-
tlon between the daytime or the
illumination at night we would adj
wise the latter; for surely no ewes
now open On this world, are likely
ever again ito behold any sight SO
nobly beautiful.
