A QUIET CIRCUS DAY.

The Weather Not All That the Managers
Desired Yet the Afternoon Attendance
Was Large.
This has not been an ideal circus day.
The overcast sky and generally threat
ening aspect keeping hundreds of coun-
try visitors at home. The big show ar
rived at an early hour this morning
from New Britain and a big crowd had
gathered around the depot yard before
6 o'clock to see the animals unloaded.
At the grounds this morning all was
activity. The fakirs, fruit dealers and
peanut vendors were putting up their
canvas booths and displaying their
wares to catch the eyes of passers by.
The "hit the niger in the head" man,
the red lemonade man, the wheel of
fortune man and others were on hand
and kept the crowd busy.
The parade was a great success and
was witnessed by thousands of people.
It was a brilliant pageant filled with
] bright features and occupied thirteen
minutes passing a given point. There
| were more than the usual number of
open cages and the horses were the
| finest ever seen here.
The afternoon performance was
largely attended and gave general salts
| faction. The great spectacle "Colum-
bus and the Discovery of America" is q
most striking object lesson of our coun
try's early history.

An Answer to a Question.

A correspondent writes us to know
the facts about Fish's connection
with the book "Donnelli0n0. Fish
stated in the preface to that book
that he was simply the compiler of
it, and not the author; and that he
was under great obligations to Hon.
John A. Giltinan, ex-judge of probate
of Stevens Co., who had spent three
months at Mr.. Donnelly's residence,
compiling the material from his scrap
books, etc., and had done most of the
work. Fish was eager to have the
honor of being considered the author
of it, and put his name on the title
page and advertised himself in the
Great West and in circulars sent out
by him as the author. Now, to in
jure Mr.. Donnelly, he denies all con-
nectiOn with the book and declares
he wrote but three pages of it, while
the fact is that whole piles of the
MS, in his own handwriting still
exist and can be shown to those who
desire to enquire into the subject.
But Fish stole the honor and credit
of author to glorify himself, and now
disavowS his work to discredit his
former friend. The man is utterly
shameless.

81 The price OF the paper alone is 81. and
the price of any Of these books is fifty
cents, but we have made arrangements
with Mr.. DOnnelly to put his books SO low
to subscribers for the paper that we can
furnish both paper and book for ST..
THIS MAKES THE PAPER COST BUT 50 CENTS
FOR A YEAR.
There is, of course, no money in pub
fishing a paper at these rates: but The
REPRESENTATIVE is not started to make
money; but to present certain views and
principles.
When club of six subscribers is sent in
with Sc, we will give one additional copy
free to the getter up of the club But we
cannot afford to give the extra copy and
premium book also. Parties desiring to
canvass d township Or county should
write to our business manager for terms:
We hope every friend of the cause will
take hold and press the work AT ONCE. We
are not rich enough to send out great
many sample copies so, it you want the
paper subscribe at once.
While we would greatly prefer yearly
subscribers, yet, if any cannot, in cOnse-
quence of the low price of wheat, spare
the money for a years subscription. we
will take fifty cents for six months

NOTICE.

In the rush of subscriptions some
are falling into mistake.
The price of THE REPRESENTATIVE
is one dollar year, but for the first
three months, to introduce the paper,
we offer to give each subscriber a
paper bound copy of Caesars
Column" CDR. Huguet" or "The
Golden Bottle" free. This makes
the paper cost the subscriber for one
year but fifty cents, as the retail
price of the books is fifty cents each.
We also offer to give any person
who gets us up Climb Of six yearly
subscribers, paying one dollar cash
each, in advance, an extra number
of the paper free for one year for
himself. But IN that case zoe could not
giue the books as premiums.
If parties think they can get up
larger clubs than six let them write
us and we will try to make rates to
them in cash that will justify them
in giving time and attention to the
work of soliciting subscriptions for
us.
We hope by the next issue to be
able to offer Swedish and Norwegian
editions of Caesars Column" as
premiums for subscribers, but at
little higher price.

A Self-Evident Lie.

Fish says that Mr. Donnelly re-
ceived $1,7OO from the republican
party the same year he wrote :sCCesar' s
Column" That book was written in
1889. Mr.. D.. did not hold any Office
of any kind in that year in the legis-
lature or otherwise; there was no
campaign in that year and no cleo
ton. Why should the republicans
pay him $1,700 or any other sum?
What would they pay it for? Can Fish
make anybody believe that the re-
publicans paid Mr.. Donnelly to write
"Cgsar's Column" a book which has
cost them a hundred thousand votes
in the United States?
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-05-31
A Small Affair, But Significant.

We do not care to go into a denial
of all DR.. Fish's falsehoods, but as a
friend in Renville county has gone to
the trouble of Investigating the mat
ter referred to below, we publish the
following:
"When l read DR.. Fish's last paper
and saw his positive denial that the
statement made in your paper, two
weeks ago, that he charged the alliance
for his barber bills was true, I must
say that I felt mad. 1 don't think
much of Fish, but I don't want to see
him or any one else abused. And l
said to my wife, "see here, my dear,
how our new paper is lying about DR..
Fish. He says: Now as to the bar
Der bills-it is a cold-blooded lie, and
the report so shows. They we're paid
out of my own pOcket;' now it is a
shame for Mr.. Donnelly or any one
else, to abuse the doctor that way"
But thereupOn my wife, she spoke up,
and she said, "but / remember that
thing myself, and thought, at the
time, that it was mighty small piece
of business for great man to charge
lot of poor farmers for the money
he paid to keep his face Clean" "But,
my DEAR" [ said, ''you must be mis-
taken. The doctor says positively he
did not do it. He wouldn't lie where
he could be proved a liar so easily"
But Mary shook her head and went
to rummaging on the top of the
kitchen cupboard where she keeps a
pile of old papers, and half an hour
afterward she came to me, with a
look of triumph on her face and COPY
of the Great West in her hand. It
was dated January 20, 1893, and she
pointed to the 18th line of the first
column of page 8, and there, to my
great astonishment, I read:
'20 cents, sharing for taoo Of u.s."
And just before that l saw that
Stewart had gone off to Redwood
Falls so that the "two of us'' must
have heen G. II. johnson and DIR.
Fish. And right below that was an
other item 80 cents for street carsr'
And then Mary pointed out item

why" said /, "Mary dear, that
man is an awful liar"
"Of course he u.s." said Mary, land
| want you to stop his paper at once.
| wont have the nasty thing in the
house. 1t will ruin the children
with it's profanity"
And so l unite to apologize to you
for having believed the doctor for
half an hour. I'll never do it again.
You can use these facts but don't
print my name, for he will go for me
like he did for Mr.. Peacock and prove
that am horse thief. The man is
an awful character"
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-05-31

over their written signatures, a re-
port Of their investigation. When
we consider the weight of RESPONSE
bility thus voluntarily assumed by
them towards the stockholders Of
the company and the public, it
should be unnecessary for me to
apologize for placing reliance upon
it,"
Clearly, if Mr.. Kenyon lin his Off
cial capacity as public examiner at
the instance of the governor of the
state undertook to examine into the
condition of an institution whose
solvency was questioned and whose
liabilities exceeded two and a quar-
ter millions of dollars, it was his du-
ty, regardless of his opinion as to the.
scope of his powers, to thoroughly
overhaul and investigate it's affairs,
ascertain the value of it's securities
and arrive at a true idea of the full
situation and report it for the pro-
lection of it's stock holders and of
the public Did he do this? He him
self says: Gin determining the value
of the securities held by the said
company, relied in measure as I
was fully justified in doing, upon the
appraisal thereof caused to be made by
Mr.. Thomas LoaOry and others
Thomas Lowry land others!" Is
this the explicit statement the public
has right to expect from a public
official? Who were these "others?"
Presumably they were Mr.. Lowry's
associates in the directorate of the
concern. Mr.. Burke's charges against
the company we're definite and speci-
fic, citing the book and page of the
records where evidence was to be
found. And subsequent events show
that Mr.. Burke was right in his esti-
mate of the situation. And yet, when
more than $2,OOO,OOO were involved,
Mr.. Kenyon it seems felt justified in
basing his report upon the value of
the assetts of the company upon the
appraisal thereof made by Mr.. Thorn
as Lowry and others!"
Mr.. Kenyon's defense is apparently
as much in need Of apology as was
his report.

estate auditor Mccarthy, of Iowa, -
writes Mr.. Ernest B. CASTOR in his
letter to the reform press, sin a
speech recently at Council Bluffs APP
proved the estimate that 80 per cent
of the business of the country is
transacted by means of checks,
drafts, or letters of credit, and only
about 10 per cent with cash, and he
MCCARTHY deduces the conclusion
that confidence forms a very large
and important part of the fOunda-
tion of the magnificent business
editice of this great country, and if
the foundation (confdence) is re-
moved it must fall with a great
crash And the populists are de-
nominated "cranks," and large and
interesting variety of choice epithets
is applied to them, because theywant
to replace this airy foundation with
cash."
