BLAND'S COINAGE BILL.

Let it be remembered that that able
Republican paper, the Fairmont SEN
tinel, edited by Frank Day. in its issue
Of March 23d, had ringing arraign-
ment OF the two senators from this
state. 1t said:
The Sentinel very much regrets
that Senators Washburn and Davis
voted against the Bland silver coinage
OIL. 1t is unfOrtun-
ate for Western interests that Minne-
sofa representatives. are so often con-
t'ollcd By Eastern inJlucnccs. In our
opinion Senator Washburn, by his vote
upon this bill, has done more TO
election than by any other ac-
tion in his official career. Since
his vote upon the repeal of the Sher-
man law he has given his friends per-
sonal assurance of his friendship for
silver. There were some very plausi-
bic excuses, at the time that repeal
measure was before the country, for
supporting it. Business interests in
every town and city were clamoring
for repeal. They favored it for the
same reason that a drowning man
grasps at straWs; but when its passage
instead of affording the promised re-
lief, brought upon the country con-
tlnued disaster and ruin-the natural
results Of contraction of the circula-
ting medium during time of financial
depression-the people begin to awak-
en- to the fact that they had been the
victims of a gigantic conspiracy Of the
gold bugs Of Wall street and Europe.
The result of this awakening is the
swift and determined passage through
both houses of Congress of Mr.. BANDS
bill, which places the stamp of govern
ment recognition and honor upon the
white metal that plutocracy had at
tempted to disgrace and outlaw. 1t
is bill which gives black eye to gold
monometalism and provides for en-
larging our volume of money. and
sending out through channels of trade
and commerce the vast stores of silver
bullion which lie idle in the vaults at
Washington. 1t seems to us that
every interest of the cOuntry-especi-
ally of the West-deman an expan-
sion of the volume of money.
But what is the use of attacking
Davis and Washburn? Cleveland is
just as bad. He has vetoed the Bland
bill and it was impossible to pass it
over his veto. Thus we see the two
old parties, Democrats and Repub-
licans, working together to enrich
scoundrels and bankrupt the people.
! say-brother Day-isn't it about
time for you, and those who feel as
you do, to cut loose from those intern
al old frauds? Come now. Be as brave
as you are smart! l. d.

GOOD NEWS.

We are very glad to hear that the
young men of the 4th Congressional
district, (the St. Paul districD, Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans, are be-
coming very restive under the gold
bug domination of the leaders in the
two old parties; and propose to hold
an independent, non-partisan, free
silver convention this fall: and nomin-
ate candidate for Congress who will
go to Washington to fight Wall Street
influences, which Col. Kicfer has been
so faithfully serving against the peo-
pie The convention will embrace
men of all parties; and the ticket
they put up will, it is believed, sweep
the district. We hope, in a little
while to publish proclamation,
which they will put forth, that will
astonish the old-line politicians and
scare the republicans out of their boots.
Let the merry war go on. The truth
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose by agitation.
Why can't the Minneapolis young
men, get a move on themselves ana
start similar non-partisan conven-
tion?
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-06-13

stand by the party through thick and
thin-blow high or blow low-not be-
cause of the party but because of the
people.
Remember, also, that when the re-
publicans hired E. w. Fish, in 1892, it
was part of his bargain, that he would
do all he could to divide the opposition
to the republican party, and thus in.
sure republican triumph; and he sue
ceeded: and c. X. Davis, went back to
the U. S. Senate, and is there now, a
tool of Plutocracy. For instance;-
Mr.. Meilicke, was the Peoples Party
candidate in Jackson county, for the
House: the democrats had no candi-
Date, and, without bargain or fusion,
they had made up their minds to vote
for Mr.. Meilicke, preferring him to
the republican candidate; and their
vote would have elected him. Fish
came. there to speak. Meilicke ex-
pialned the situation to him. He said,
Il don't ask you to abandon a single
principle: or say one word in praise of
them. If you do you will drive them
away from me, and l shall be de-
feated." Fish promised to do as re-
quested; and then got up and made a
speech which was, from beginning to
end, one continuous TRADE of abuse of
the democrats. The result was just
as Fish intended; they voted for the
republican candidate; Meilicke, was
defeated by few votes; and Fish had
earn ed his money. Mr.. Meilicke told
me all this himself. He is one of the
most earnest Populists in the state
clear-headed, able man. AS the
thing turned out if he had been elect
ed Davis would have been Defeated
he had not vote to spare in caucus;
and in the scramble and wrangle that
would have followed, even Populist
might have won.
1t does not follow that because
man is a Populist he must necessarily
be fool. In this great campaign, in
to which we are now entering, let us
combine unshrinking devotion to
every pTlHClple OI Cne Omana plat
form, with the shrewdest good sense
possible. We are neither fools,
fanatics nor children. We want to
correct abuses; we must correct them.
While we will not "fuse' with any
party; or do anything dishonorable;
let us leave nothing honorable undone
that will give us triumph; because
triumph means the repeal of bad laws,
the passage of good ones; and the lift
ing up of the peoples burdens.

A Republican Senator Talks Out On

Ihe POpulists Will Poll 100000

and found him in high state of dis
gust with both the old parts. He is a
man famous all over the nation, an
old soldier, capable and clear-headed.
Said he:
The Popullsts are going to poll
100000 votes this year in Minnesota:
ana they ought to. Nothing can pre-
vent 1t but a revolution in financial
conditions. The course of both par
ties in Congress is simply horrible.
In the face of overwhelming dangers
they seem incapable of action. The
disgust is universal. Look at the
Sugar Trust. Its profits are 800, 900 a
day, out of the peoples pockets. When
prominent citizens visit Washington,
they have to send in their cards to the
Senators; but when the Sugar Trust
puts in an appearance, the papers tell
US, the Senators rush for the room in
such swarms that they block up the
doorway"
l said Senator, write us a letter
for the REPRESENTATIVE
He replied,-'I be hanged if don't
think l will"
Then up stepped another Republic
can senator, and joined in the conver.
sation. Said |, to him:
why don't you raise the ID
with your party?"
He replied, eve have got to raise
the ID or We will all go to Ill"
The reader will pardon the profan-
ity; but the, old party leaders swear
worse than ''our army in Flanders"
When Populist uses cuss-words it is
under such just provocation that it
sounds like prayer.
Oh! Ii these old party leaders would
only speak right out what they think,
the air would be blue and sulphurous.
Come in, gentlemen, into the Peo-
pies Party and help us save mankind.
We need you badly. Your hearts are
with us. ID.

WANTED.
"The Man of Mentone" for Gov.
ernOr.

A reporter of the Globe yesterday
overlook Judge Flandrau on the
street, and enjoyed chat with him
during brief walk. In the course of
the talk he acquired two or three
pieces of information of some interest
to political gossips, and perhaps to the
public generally.
"They say, judge" began the scribe,
that you're going to run for governor
| this fall"
"Bosh," was the characteristic re-
ply: II not only shall not run for gov
ernor, but wouldn't accept the nom
ination for that position under any
conceivable circumstances"
Being asked who his choice was, the
judge said he had not reached any as
yet. The nominee, in his opinion,
should be a young man. sound demo-
crat, untainted with any Populst
tendencies-a man who, whether
elected or defeated, would hold the
rank and file in line for Democratic
principles and the fights of the fu-
ture.-St. Paul Globe.
This is amusing. The Judges candi-
date 'must be untainted with any
Populistic tendencies" and he must
be young man! The truth is, as
leading democrat said to me, the 9TH
er day, "the rank and file of the
Democracy are all Populists.'
When the judge has found his young
man, "untainted with Populistic ten
dencies," if he will look him over care
fully he will find that he is much bet
ter fitted for the Imbecile Asylum
than for the governors chair.
Stick to the old fellows, Judge, the
very old ones. Pick out fossiliferous
specimen of the Pal9olithic age of
American politics,-the stone age;-
a fellow who concentrates what he
calls his mind on the resolutions of
'9o and the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise. Get some chap, like
yourself, Judge, who has not thought
a new thought since Jimmy Buchan-
ans time.
Here is suggestions:
They found, in a cave in Italy, at
Mentone, fossil skeleton, buried un-
der great depth of debris, and sup
posed to be 100000 years old. He is
called, in scientific works, "the man
of Mentone." That's the chap for
you, Judge. He has got no "Populistic
tendencies" He didn't believe in a
"paternalistic government" for "the
protection Of the individual" He
killed his neighbors and ate them. No
nonsense about that chap. He was
after your own heart, Judge. He
would have made first-class corpora
tion lawyer. Wire him together, and
tic string to his tail, so that he will
jerk when you pull, and there you
have him. Run phonograph tube
into the skull, and repeat, every five
minutes,-"no paternalism." "no
populism," mo progress" "no civiliz-
ation;" and see how the Plutocracy
will fall down and worship him.
But bright young Democrat who
thinks,-and there are millions of
them;-a bright young Democrat who
has cast off his swaddling clothes, and
got his eyes wide open, that's a dan
gerous fellow. Down with him.
Judge! Down with him! If you don't
1iN Elm he will breed more; while the
fossiliferous chaps have got past
breeding. I'D.

We add:
Can anybody name Republican of

Dental nomination of his party in

We don't think the wages asked by
the miners will ever put coal beyond

That is, think about 80 cents a ton.

PATERNALISM.

Where Is Our Supreme Court?
Here is chance for them to get in
some big licks about paternalism:
| WASHINGTON. April 2S.-The state
ment published in Chicago that the
Secretary of the Interior had notified
| the New York merchants who are
seeking revocation of the order made
by him abolishng the Indian ware
house at New York and transferring
| the headquarters of the Indian supply
service to Chicago, that the case was
closed is erroneous. The Secretary said
| to the correspondent Of the Tribune
| today that there were so many QueS-
| tions involved in the case as presented
by New York people, that he had not
| yet fully examined thir claims. 1t can
| be stated, however, that the represen-
tations on behalf of New York are not
| strong enough to change his opinion
respecting the advantages of Chicago
| over New York. After fully consider
| ing the subject the Secretary will
| formally notify the New York mer-
chants that he has decided to allow
| the order abolishing the New York
warehouse and transferring the head
quarters of the Indian service to Chi
cago to stand.
| Now there is nothing in the constitu-
tion of the United States about build
ing warehouses in New York or Chica-
go for the Indians. And who are the
Indians anyway? They are not citi-
zens or tax payers. If the farmers of
Minnesota, who are both citizens and
taxpayers, can not get warehouse
for their grain, to be built with their
own money, how can lot of half-Sav-
age strangers obtain warehouse, built
with money derived from the taxation
of white people?
Send for the Minnesota Supreme
Court and let them give US another
screed about Paternalism.
There is this difference, however.
The Duluth warehouse was to have
been erected to stop the robbery of
white men; the Chicago warehouse is
probably to be built to facilitate the
robbery of red men.
There you have it again. Whatever
is wrong is constitutional.
Wouldn't it be better for us to imi-
tate the sick man in the story. The
doctor told him that his lungs were
affected his "constitution" all gone,
and he had got to die. mot by a
darned sight," replied the sick man,
''if my constitution is all gone 1 will

tions are such deadly hindrances to
every form of human progress would
it not be we'll to abolish them and live
on the bylaws? Old England has no

along fairly we'll. Written constitu-
tions seem to be nesting places for law
yers to breed tricks in. l. D.

A POINT.

The man who can see great issue
in the tariff on calico and ammonia,
and can see no issue in the demone-
tization of silver and an adequate
money supply, is either fool or a
scoundrel. Let him accept one horn
of the dilemma or the other, but one
horn he must accept. Let him- take
himself into corner and cross-ex-
anime his mentality, and ask the
euestion:-"What am 1? A fool or a
scoundrel?'' L. ID.

Ihave not received any response to
my offer of 500 for any piece of money
that was not made money by law.
Come, now, my intrinsic value broth
er. here is a chance for you to get in
your work. The law makes money, no
matter on what it is printed, and
nothing else does. Shylock is running
the law machine and will not allow
any more money to be made. The peo-
ple should make money for them
Selves. They made what Shylock
holds, and can make more just as
good. The Coming Nation.

he CONFESSED.
Searcey Told Where to Find
the Stolen Pouch.
MorcanfieId's Identity Proven---Men
Concerned In the Aqua holdup.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2i-The relentless
seerch which the officials of the Adams
Express company have prosecuted to ap-
prchend the criminals who held up train
at Aquia Creek Va. on the 18th, and 20
recover the stolen property, was rewarded
yesterday by the finding OF the pouch In
which the robbers had placed most of their
booty The pouch was secured through
the aid OF c. J. Searccy one OF the robbers
who was arrested at Cumberland, Md.
This fact proves conclusively what the
express officials have claimed, that Searcey
was one of those wantod, and the relation
ship which has been shown 90 exist be-
tween Searccy and Murganileid, now held
fn Cincinnati establishes beyond doubt
that Morganfleld was his pal, and 10 Is
now known that the latter was the man
with the shrill voice who entered the ex-
press ear and held up Messengers Crutch-
field and Murray.
The details OF the recovery of the pouch,
or how much money it contained, are not
known here, except that the sack was
found
Hidden In the Woods OF Virginia
near Calverton, and that there were pres.
ent Prosecutor w. Seymour White, G..
w Burlington, sergeant of police of Fred
ericlxsburg; Sheriff Hugh Adie and Rob.
ert A. Pinkerton, when it was secured.
IL can also be stated that not more thar
four men and probably only three were
concerned In the holdup. Two are
now under arrest, and the third. it is ex-
pccted. will be caught within "a short
time. Scarcey, who conducted the au-
thorities TO the concealed booty, made a
partial confession, all the statements Of
which have been corroborarcd, and this
knowledge has very materially aided the
express officials in their search.
Much of the credit for the arrests
falls 10 General Manager Herring OF
Philadelphia and his assistant, G. b.
Forbes, who have labored indefatigably,
day and night, TO run down the Grim.
inals. They are particularly pleased be-
cause they are able TO reiterate what they
have always claimed. that no one has ever
robbed the Adams Express company and
escaped.
