They Take us for Fools.

Senator Hill of New York is ''play-
ing it fine" and Glow down." He
thinks we are barbarian fools in the
wild and woolly west. He talks with
the Mississippi Valley and votes with
Wall Street. 1t is a tremendous
straddle-half a cOntinent-and the
integrity of his linen is threatened.
He gives the west the taffy and the
east the results. We feel like saying
to him as John Burns, the leader of
the London strikers, telegraphed to a
Pennsylvania K. of L. lodge, which
had wired it's sympathy;-"D-n
your sympathy. Send us your bob"
Hill, Voorhees, German and the rest
are types of the oldfas hioned, Janus
headed politicians, who could face
seven ways for Sunday, and stand on
their heads and pick their teeth
with their toe-nails. This earnest
age has no patience with such aero
bats and harlequins.
They say to the people,-'we are in
favor of bi-metallism, but we are in
favor of repeating the Sherman act Of
1890, the last link which binds gold
and silver together" ''Let us kill
silver now," they say, Gin the name
of the love we bear it; and next week,
or next month or next year, we will
drag Lazarus out of his tomb and
resurrect him. 1t is great deal
easier to restore the dead to life,
than it is to keep the living from
dying. Let us bury silver, as they
bury the fakirs in India, and raise a
crop of barley on the grave, and
harvest it; and then dig him up, take
the plugs out of his nose and ears and
restore him to life"
And is there anybody fool enough
to believe them? |. d.

the people would not have to borrow
money from any one.
In what is this country lacking to
make the people free from debt?
Has it not the best climate, the rich
est soil, the largest crops, the most
industrious people, the greatest Ia
bor-saving machinery, in the world.
Give this country fair play and it
would be lending money to the other
nations instead of borrowing it. But
that is not Halls idea. An English
man entering poor Irishman' s
cabin kicked the pig, which happen
ed to get in his way. "Whist!" said
Paddy. ''trate him with more re-
spect, sorr. That's the gentleman
WHAT pays the rent" Paddy raised
the pig and the nonresident land
lord ate him. That is 0. M. Halls
idea of Minnesota statesmanship:-
smash the prosperity of the people,;
but facilitate the borrowing of mon
ey from John Bull. And the poorer
we get the greater temptations we
will have to hold out to the foreign
er, until at last, like the Hindoo and
the Egyptian, we will have nothing
more to offer; and the whole prop
erty of the country will be turned
over to foreigners, and the people
will be homeless strangers in their
own land. But thank God the
American people are not peon or
serts; they may be fooled into ruin,
but when they realize their condition
it will not be healthy for fellows of
the Hall stripe.
But we must not be too severe on
Hall. Every other member of con-
gress from Minnesota, except the
populist Boen, voted as Hall did; and
even BOen wrote out an interview
for the REPRESENTATIVE which in
dicated that he was prepared to fol-
low suit. But we stiffened his back
bone with strap oil, and gently in
timated to him that there was a
"God in Israeli" and he passed
through the crisis safely. And all
these men will want to go back again
to do it some more; of course they
will. We will see. I. D.

A Total MisapprehensiOn.

Mr.. o. NJ. Hall, member of congress
from the third district of Minnesota,
has made himself especial
ly officious in working against the
cause of free silver. He has been a
sort of whipper in and tide-waiter for
Wall street. He made a speech the
other day that will carry delight to
to the soul of John Bull-if John ev-
er condescends to notice the Red
Wing man. His whole conception of
America is as province of imperial
England; and the principal business
of our nation is to borrow money
from the Bank of England and our
first duty is to make ourself and our
legislators as agreeable to the Shy
locks of that bank as possible. Any
conception of this as an independent
continent,-a world in itself, f,-with
interests, industries, and policy of
it's own, never seems to have entered
his head. His whole talk is about
borrowing, borrowing, borrowing.
He would like to see America in the
condition of Ireland, where every
cent above poor, bare subsistence
for the people, is shipped out Of the
country to pay interest to British
capitalists. That is Halls idea of
national greatness. Listen to him {:
"The vaults and Golfers of Europe
are bursting with unusable money.
1t is worth only II per cent in Lon
don. Cheap as it is, it lies idle,
awaiting safe investment. Driven
out of South America, frightened
from Australia, it has accumulated
in mountainous boards, awaiting the
call of him who will give good secur-
ity for it's repayment. Here in the
United States, in spite of our past
financial idiOsyncracies, Europe has
found the best and safest field of in
vestment."
In other words, the capital of Eng
lishmen, having absorbed the sub
stance of Beunos Ayres and Austral-
ia, of India and Egypt with their
poems and slaves, and ruined them,
must now be brought here, and
be loaned out to our people; and the
Englishmen are to take the proceeds
Of our industry, for generations to
come. It has never occurred to this
small-headed philosopher that it was
the duty of a country, as rich in
natural resources, as this great land,

his face. And John was disgusted.
The wheat ring had never treated
the farmers that way. No, indeed
they had lied to them it is true they
had robbed them, it is true; but they
had always been most courteous and
polite; and they generally handed
them out Sunday school tract. OF

Press while they were transferring
their profits to their own pockets.
But these rude creatures, the Hon.
John says-swOre terribly, and the
Hon. John never does that. Oh no
The process of accumulation can pro-
ceed without profanity. The train
raiders have much to learn yet.
But they didn't plunder the women
to their honor be it recorded. Alas.
The wheat ring never made any dis
tinction of race, color, or sex. They
robbed alike the decrepit old man,
the sick woman, and the hungry
babe in the cradle.
And one of the train raiders took
$1.75 from poor man who was tray
cling with his wife, and the man told
the robber that that was all he had,
and thereupon he handed him back
dollar Did you ever hear of the
wheat ring doing anything like that?
God bless you, no! They are the
horse-leeche's daughters whose
continual cry is "give, give" Their
nav is like the vastly deep. What
ever disappears into it is lost for
ever.
What pity the train robbers did
not know who the Hon. John was.
They might have squeezed enough
out of him to build a university in
Montana-and then have presided
over the ceremonies with the tears
running down their faces. But you
can't make statesmen out of cow
boys,-even if they are able to steal.
Oh !! the horrible shamS and frauds
that have disgraced and plundered
this state of Minnesota The whited
sepulchres full of dead mems bones
bones of the robbed and ruined, who
have died in the anguish of broken
hearts. Wrong, crystalized in one
quarter, misery spread like pail in
another. Theft, NOT humble, not
shame-faced, not hiding in corner
but boldly confronting the plundered
and claiming the right to rule the
land it has ruined.
And oh, the churches! With the
name of Christ shining over the door
way, and the ministers, counting
their salaries. Keep silence, oh ye
preachers. until prosperity perishes,
until liberty dies, until famine
breaks out in bloody revolt; until
despotism comes to seal the doom of
mankind. Keep silent, oh ye preach
ers! You will at least receive your
salaries. [. D.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
Why it Failed. Some of the Rot.
tennesS of the Buried Past.

Who is responsible for the wreck
ing Of the Northern Pacific r. RI?
MalfeaSance somewhere existed
must be apparent to common sense.
One railroad having it's own choice
of routes and backed by enormous
land grants fails to meet it's obliga-
tiOns, whilst parallel road, without
any land grant and taking a circuit
Gus route to reach the same points
as the first, has it's stock at par.
What can be the conclusion? Have
the stockholders and bondholders of
the one been betrayed to further
private interests? Or have they
selected such poor mental material
to run their road that it has been
run to ruin? These questions seem
pertinent when Northern Pacific
preferred stock sells at 16 and Great
Northern preferred sells at 100: es-
pecially when we believe that the N. .
P. preferred stock may be turned in
at par, as cash for it's landS.-PrisOn
Mirror.
The Northern Pacific has been a
cess-pool of political rotteness.
Twelve sharp fellows, years ago, un-
der the lead of Bill King, got a con-
tract to build section of the road
from near Duluth to Brainerd, and
on this they made clear profit, one MIL
lion taoo hundred thousand dollarsH A
republican editor forced them to pay
him 100000 of this under threat that
if they did not he would defeat the
Rings candidate for United States
Senator. Instead of building the
road through the swamps on pilings
driven into the mud, they cut
tamarck and poplars and "courdu-
royed' the bogs, and then laid ties
and rails on these brush heaps; and
about the time they drew their $780,
900 apiece the road sank down into
the bottomless abyss. In this way
and by similar arts, the cost of the
road was run up to nearly eighty thous-
and dollars q mile! When fifteen
thousand would have been a liberal
margin. And now when the com
pany can Stagger no farther under it's
gigantic burden, the court appoints

protect all that mass of rubbish. and

shall continue to draw interest from

LONE STAR STATE BANKS.
The Kind of Money that Is
Wanted Down In Texas.

Chicago correspondent St. Louis
Globe-Democrat: "We need more
money" said J. w. Blake, of Tex.
as. '.f don't mean the money
which the old Georgia farmer, who
in the early days went up to Mil.
ledgeville to see General Robert
Toombs wanted. Toombs was at
the time director in the state
bank.
"'Robert.' says he, the folks
down our way air in need of more
money
General Toombs, who was Of
ten profane, replied: well, how
the devil are they going to get it?'
"'Can't you stamp it Robert?'
suggested the farmer
"'Suppose we do stamp it, ar
gued General Toombs, 'how are you
going TO redeem itf'
"'Exactly,' said the farmer,
that was just what was coming
to. The people down our way air
agin redemption
"We Texans want more money,
but not of that kind. We want
good money, hard money, honest
money, money that will redeem
itself. We want capital. We want
men of brain and muscle. We want
almost any kind of a man except
politicians. We are abundantly
supplied with that kind. 1t is
doubtful whether the growth of
banking facilities which Texas
has witnessed in the last five years
has ever been equaled by any
country. There were organized
over fifty national banks in Texas
in twelve months. During the
past year Texas led all of the other
states with an increase of twenty
two national banks. Out of total
of 223 national banks in our state
only two failures were reported in
1892. l believe there are no bank
cashiers from Texas in Canada"

Field on White Stockings.

the fiat has gone forth in Eng.
land, according to the Chicago
News Record, calling the white
stockings back into vogue. Eng.
land is always and forever making a
mess, and when it comes to fash.
ions in feminine apparel England is
particularly infelicitous. Our
pretty, tasteful fashions all come
from Paris.
White stockings have never gone
out in Germany; tabooed elsewhere,
they have continued in favor with
the average Teuton frau. And in
England the older ladies have con-
tinued to wear cotton hosiery. 1t
is we'll known, we think, that Mrs.
Gladstone has never incased her
neither limbs in any but white cot.
ton stockings.
But the white stocking is q hor.
ror-an offense unmitigated and
not to be palliated. Let England
decree or do what she pleases, she
cannot win or drive us back to the
ridiculous old heresy, the absurd
abomination of white hosiery.
The one article of feminine dress
in which mans taste is properly
deemed infallible is the hosiery, and
in America mankind is unit
against the white stocking.
