ST, Paul, MINI.
MY DEAR SIR:-I see there is a
large amount of samples of what is
claimed to be hemp binder Irvine
being sent about; upon examination
| find them to be nothing but poor
Smith & Frain, quote prices on A. No
American hemp Irvine, sample of
which was sent me and which is
made entirely of jute, and will not,
IN my Judgment, give satisfaction.
This class Of twines are being sent
about the Northwest, and will fail to
give satisfaction. They have neither
the strength nor the evenness neces-
sary to successfully operate.
Thanking you for past favors, am.
Very truly yours,

Tore off his Ear.

MINOT, May 1S.-A man named
Helberbrant, working near here, fell
so that wheel of a passing wagon
tore off one of his ears.
A correspondent sends us the above
clipping and wants to know if it is
true that DR.. Fish happened with a
similar injury last fall during the
campaign. Yes. But the result was
different. The doctors ear became
wrapped around the wagon-W wheel and
tore it olive mean the wagon-wheel
and not the ear. The doctor rose,
stuffed the ear into his hat and walked
off with a bland smile.

The liberal party in England has
never yet taken up an issue that has
not become incorporated into Eng

Gates are evidently destined to be
equally successful. That is one of
the most remarkable records ever
achieved by any party in any country.

peoples interests are supreme and

Intosh that. he is going to secure sub

circulation and adds that he "hopes

Hunts letter, and therefore make
bold to sieze his words as the text of

The REPRESENTATIVE is the prop
erty of the alliance and subject to
the control of the executive commit
tee, and therefore if we were dis
posed to sell out the cause of the peo-
pie into the hands of the Ishmaelites
it would not be possible for us to do
so.
1t was with express reference to
this particular point that the
method was adopted of creating a
fund for the esta blishment of the pa
per by sale of stock in small shares.
Mr.. Donnelly could easily have es-
tablished a paper of his own if he
had wanted a personal organ. Half
dozen propositions have been made
the executive committee by parties
who were willing to advance their
private funds to establish such a
journal as was contemplated by the
alliance or who already had newspa-
per outfits and newspaper ability to
devote to the work, and some of
them were liberal offers, too; but if
the paper was private property
what assurance would the party have
after having by their patronage
built>up great influence for such
an institution that they would not,
in the hour of conflict, again find
themselves looking into the muzzles
of their own artillary?
If the friends of political reform
are one with us in the hope of larger
tomorrow, when men shall labor and
receire the fruits Of toll, we hope that
they will respond to our plea for sub
scription to the capital stock of the
REPRESENTATIVE and help us pay
the balance due on the purchase price
of our material, and enable us to
carry reform thought into widening
circle of the homes of the people. If
you think our plan a wise one, if you
think the REPRESENTATIVE has
mission to perform, we renew our plea
to solicit subscriptions to our stock
as well as to our paper.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The treasury
department has issued an important set

allowed to enter after o'clock in the
evening, for the reason that the worst
class has been in the habit of coming
over after night, when rigid inspection
was relaxed and the inspectors were of
duty or asleep. The big roads, like the
Canadian Pacific with its through con-
nections with the 500 line, and the
Great Northern with its Canadian Pa
cific connections i'll Minnesota and
North Dakota, Will be compelled to run
special trains upon which all the immi-
grants are carried. None of the regu-
lar passenger trains will be allowed to
carry immigrants, and penalty will
be provided for violation of this provis-
ion.

MinnesOta's Attorney General X nOcks
Out the Pine Land Investigation.
ST. PAUL, May 29.-The seven men,
bers of the legislative committee who
were authorized to investigate the
charge that certain prominent men of
Minneapolis and elsewhere had robbed
the State of Minnesota of pine to the
value of $5,000,0O0 were chagrined upon
receiving the announcement from the
state capitol that they could pack their
grips and go home. 1t was learned
that Attorney General Childs had de-
cided that the joint resolution under
which they were acting was unconsti-
tutional. During the last days of the
session joint resolution had been
adopted upon the motion of Ignatius
Donnelly and signed by Governor Nell
son naming the above committee to in
vestigate the alleged frauds and apprc-
priating $1,000 for the work. Attorney
General Childs simply quotes the gen.
eral statutes, which state that no money
can be appropriated for any purpose by
the legislature except by bill. The COM
mittee can, therefore, do nothing but
adjourn and go home. There are loud
charges by the men who are fighting
the "pine land ring that there has been
collusion to protect the leading citizens
who have been foremost in securing
pine lands by methods which will not
bear investigation.
