Highly Suggestive.

When one considers the conservative
character of the Catholic church, an6
how strongly the members of that de
nomination have inclined to the Demo
cratic party, the following article,
from the St. Paul Northwestern
Chronicle of May 11th, the organ OF
Archbishop Ireland, will be read with
astonishment and profit, as testifying
to the sweeping force of the revolution
now going on in the land:
Some satirical fellow says that Ben.
jamin Harrison goes out into his front
yard every morning and lays his ear to
the ground to see if his conntry is
calling him. Though this is an exag-
alton, there seems to be no doubt
that not only Mr.. Harrison but num-
Der of other patriots are anxiously
waiting the call of duty to act as
cey Depew in explaining his jocular
announcement of himself as candi-
date the other day, added that he
thought the time would soon come
when we would have railroad man
for president.
Perhaps it may come sooner than
Mr.. Depew anticipates. The railroad
labor organizations are now the
strongest and most intelligent ones in
the country. If organized labor seeks
to put candidate of their own before
the people, it is certain that the rail
road men will have powerful, ii not
controlling influence in making the
selection. 1t is not at all improbable
that labor will look for a candidate of
it's own outside the ranks of either the
Democrats or the Republicans. Meth
er party has the entire confidence or
sympathy of the working classes, and
it would be impossible to bring the en-
tire vote to a candidate for either.
But with one of its own the case
would be quite different, and there
would be great likelihood, at least of
being able to unite the whole labor
vote in his favor. 1t would not be at
all surprising to see some such man as
Eugene V. Debbs placed in the presi-
character. If the labor organizations
should make a wise selection, choosing
a man of ability, sound sense and hon
esty. there would be nothing at all i'm
probable about his election. Always
supposing, proper motives and meth
Ods upon the part of labor Organiza-
tions, we cannot but think that great
good would result all around from
their turning their attention to poll
tics, and seeing that they obtain their
proper representation in affairs OF
state. Political power will bring with
it sense of responsibility. the lack of
which is often the cause of foolish
hare-brained words or actions. 1t will
turn the peoples attention to the seri-
Gus study of social and political affairs
when they are called upon to act upon
new lines and by new methods, not
merely following what often is a sense
less party cry. And above all it will di-
rect their attention to the only possible
method of redressing whatever evils
they complain of. and put an end for
ever to Coxeyism. rioting and all other
TO olish vagabondism.
1t is time for the Democratic party
to look out for political cyclones when
the able organ of Catholicism in Min.
nesota talks that way. l. d.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The Republican State Convention.
The Populists are rising in import
anee.
We fixed upon July 10th for our
State Convention of the Peoples Par
ty, and July 18th for the Grain Grow
ers Convention; and now comes the
Republican State Central Committee
and calls their state convention for
July 11th!!!
What does it mean? Are they
afraid we will get too much public at
tention during that week; or do they
propose to 'Jose" acah us!
Shall we have the Hon. Knute, at
the head of committee, consisting of
Tams BiXby, Joel Heatwhole, Frank
Day. George Thompson, and lot Of
other good fellows, entering our con-
vention, amid immense applause, to
tell us that they are satisfied they have
mis-governed the country and brought
it to the verge of revolutions; and that,
-[filled with the profoundest contri-
tion,] they beg us to name ticket for
them!
But think of it:-July 10th, 11th and
18th! What a sandwich! A slice of
good, old-fashioned, healthy Populist
bread on top; a similar slice at the bot
tom; with a piece of decayed ham.

sweetness, in the middle That will
be the greatest week in the history of

If now the democrats will only call
their convention for the 18th of July,
we will have little limburger cheese
on the side.

"The Populist Poison Spreading

"There are other questions to be
solved before we come to a nomina-
tion, that make it inexpedient that
any name should now be forced upon
the party, whether it be Harrison or
Mckinley or Reed or Lincoln. The
personal problem will embarass us,
while our whole attention should be
concentrated upon principles rather
than men. The poison of Populism is
spreading everywhere throughout the
Northwest. 1t has infected Kansas,
Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, with
perhaps the two Dakotas and the
states farther west. In every case
where the third party has ghost of a
chance to win we can count upon ac-
tive democratic help for them at the
ballot boxes, with the desperate hope
that the election for the presidency
will be thrown into Democratic Con-
gress. Can we win the Northwest
against all these elements of disorder,
against this conspiracy of the Democ-
racy and the third party, unless a
Northwestern man is the candidate?

mand better price and cheaper
transportation than the man with 4(
bushels to-. sell? OF course he can.
The bonanza farmers, like Dalrymple,
have always obtained higher prices,
and cheaper railroad rates than the
poor devils living around them. Sup
pose the farmers of Polk county had
half million bushels to ship, in a
body, on the 1st of October next, dc
you not think they could talk per-
Suasively to the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific, and possibly
even to the Canadian Pacific, as to re-
duced rates? And would not the
same rule hold good with the roads be-
tween Minneapolis or Duluth and
New York?
Let us tell you little story. A few
years ago the Minneapolis Millers were
dissatisfied with the rates on flour
from Chicago to New York. They
wanted them reduced:-the railroad
companies said,-"we have got these
chaps by the throat; let US all combine
and stick it to them" But the Mime
apoliS MillerS were no sardines. They
said, I'VE will give all our vast buSi-
ness to the road that cuts the agreed
rate" Not company budged. Every
well," said the millers, "if there is no
competition we will give our business
to one road anyhow" And they did so.
One company got all the flour to haul
to New York, and the Others ran
"empties." But they couldn't stand
still very long and see all the business
and all the profits going to one line;
and they "came down." like Captain
Scott's coon; and the combine was
"busted." Now what is to prevent
the farmers from adopting the same
policy? If this kind of thing will work
for flour why will it not work for the
wheat out of which the flour is made:
Suppose the Grain nGrower ASS sociatio
had the selection of the route by
which ten million bushels of wheat
were to reach Liverpool, does any one
pretend to say that they could not get
inside rates IRON transportation com
panies?
While it is true that the price of
wheat is fixed in Liverpool the price OF
the United States crop enters into
the establishment Of that prce. Now
we are slumping it and slushing it on
the market, as the filth of cities is
emptied by sewers. No one cares how
low it falls in prices;-the commissions
the transportation and the stealage
on it are the same, whether it nets the
farmer fifty cents on one dollar bush
ell. Therefore the producer is the only
one interested in keeping upthe price,
and he must organize to defend him
self.
We have no desire to inj ure the Min
neapolis millerS and we hope, in the
long run, to benefit them. Id.
