Activity in Minnesota

The Minnesota Independents nOmi-
mated S. M. Owen for governor. He
made fine speech Of acceptance. for
Owen is generally regarded as an able,
upright man, in real sympathy with
the farmers and laborers of his state.
The prospects for Minnesota Inde-
pendents has never been brighter is
the general affirmation The platform
demands free silver coinage, 16 to !,
the national currency not less than $50
per capita, full legal tender for all
debts, the esta blishment of govern
ment savings banks. graduated in
come and Inheritance tax, govern
ment control of railroads, telegraph
and telephones, the reclamation Of
lands held by aliens and corporations
in excess of actual needs and it's re-
storation for settlers, and the election
Of president and vice president and
senators by direct vote of the people.
The Minnesota grain growers con-
vention was also largely attended, and
steps considered to fight the ring
of elevators; and other grain combines
that flourish in that state and operate
in this One instance of the success
of this elevator system is reported on
the authority of the Farm, Stock and
Home, which was that one elevator
man made $l25,0OO last year, while
farmers were receiving 45 cents
bushel for their grain.
Whatever may be the result of the
activity of the Minnesota Independ-
ents their efforts are on lines that
benefit the many if they are not rel
ished by the few: and to that extent
the public looks forward with hope for
good to come out Of the just agitation
of these questions. The North Dako-
ia farmer and grain grower is less
able, but fully as willing to aid in the
reforms outlined by his Minnesota
friends, and trust that the combined
efforts Of both will have some effect be-
fore long in dislodging a portion of the
extensive machinery-legal and pO-
litical-now operating against him in
these two states.-Jamestown Alert.

False CHARGES,

Hills Crescent: The Peoples party
met in State convention, and with
characteristic stability named a full
state ticket to be slaughtered at the
coming fall election. S. M. Owe n
heads the list for governor, and the
balance of the ticket are all good men
too good for the purpose. The only
Holy 1gnatius was named for United
States senator.
Now what is the use in lying in that
way? 1t must hurt you. l was not
named for United States senator by
the convention, nor did l ask them to
name me. Neither do l pretend to be
either holy or righteous;-I am simply
a plain, average man: no better and
no worse than the multitude. But
suppose this chap knows that 1 haven't t
stolen anything, and in this age of
pineland robberies that is enough to
exalt man to saintship. Thus vice,
even in its sneers, pays unwilling tri-
butte to modest virtue. See? l. D.

can convention had this plank Of the
Omaha platform before them, and
could have adopted it, when they de-
livered themselves Of the incongruous
and monstrous abortion, all hair and
hoofs and horns and claws, which we
have been criticising.
We could have some respect for
these fellows If they had come for
ward boldly. and declared that the de-
monetization of silver was right and
wise. But to admit that it has de-
stroyed the prosperity of the people,
and then string together such YER
bal network to catch the feet of fools,
is something dreadful. And then to
seek to butter it all over with plati-
tudes about the great work done for
humanity thirty years ago! Alas!
Alas. And this is my noble old party!

TERRIBLE FOREBODINGS.
The Governor of Texas Predicts
Dire Disaster.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 1S.-GovernOl
HOgg was presented with gold watch
this morning by officers of the state
militia and in response took a gloomy
view Of the future. He predicted
that within six weeks martial law will
be declared in California, Kansas.
Colorado and Illinois and that the an
archists of Chicago would use dyna-
mite and "bespatter the lofty build
ing of the city with the hearts, lungs
and liver Of citizens"
He alluded to President Cleveland
having ordered the troops there, and
Judge Cooley's letter commendatory
of the act, and said. Il feel humili-
ated over it, as it is a dangerous inva-
sion of state rights and had not been
done before since 1902
The governor predicted great revo-
luton soon, and possible disme her
ment of the great republic; unless a
foreign war diverts the attention from
internal dissatisfaction.
We don't like to hear such forebod-
ings from so high a source. They put
the devil in mems minds.
This great people can redress all
their wrongs, peacefully, at the ballot
box. There is no necessity for violence
or mob law. Those-who invoke it are
not farmers or working men, but the
deperate element Of the cities. They
are not one per cent of the whole
population.
The uproar seems to be dying out:
but it will leave sehind it great
residuum of in0e pendent thought,
and breaking loose from party ties;
and that will be wo-th all it cost.
Neither must we learn to hate the
republic because it has been mis-
governed. The nation survived Bu-
chanan and it will survive Cleveland.
After Buchanan came Lincoln; after
Cleveland will come Populist.
This is the peoples nation. 1t may
be turned to vile purposes for while;
but it is the greatest and best gov
ernment, after all, that has ever ex-
listed on the face of the earth; and it
is the duty of every American to
stand by it, to the last gasp. We
want reform along the lines laid down
by the fathers of the irepublic;-no an
archy-no dynamite mo murder-no
arson-no crime. Peace, civilization,
prosperity, progress. These are our
demands. Id.

On to 1t.

The Minneapolis Journal now has a
"sure thing" politically. It being Re-
publican, has consolidated with the
Times, Democrat. In the morning it
will feed the people with free trade
soup, and in the evening protective
tariff. Lots of suckers will continue
to have faith in its political opinions
and the liar of many country paper
will continue to write editorials there
from with the shears. 1t seems
strange how slow the people are to
learn that the great dailies are owned
by corporations that care not snap
for politics SO they and their hired men
can continue to control legislatures in
their own interests. The editors of
these sheets write on any side of any
ques tion, just SO they get their pay
every Saturday night. Many of them,
we know from personal talks, are Pop
ulists. The problem that confronts
them is not easy. They have steady
employment at good pay, if they write
what their bosses wish. Shall they
give ub these positions for the sake of
opinion? Many. alas. will not do this.

This Crop. Last Crop.


From this it appears: that, while
the population of the United States is
greater in 1S93-1S94, than in 1S92-lS93
and therefore the wheat crop should
be so much greater, it really fell off,
so that the spring wheat crop of 1893
1894 fell siXty-nine million bushels be-
low that of the previous year; while
the winter wheat crop fell off 1919
bushels in the same time: or a total
shrinkage of 69,73l,319 bushels. And
the crop of 1894, will be still smaller
than that of 1893. The falling off
from 1892 to 1893 was equal to our
whole average expectation of wheat
from the United States. |. D.

OVER.PRODUCTION,
Another FalSehOOd.

We have been told that the low price
of wheat was not due to the demone-
tlzation of silver, but to oyer-produc-
tion. That is, we had raised too much
food, while several millions of hungry
stomachs in this country, and many
more across the Atlantic, were clamor-
ing for something to eat, and had not
the work to procure the money to
buy it. But we have not raised too
much. Read the following table:

Every man feels instinctively that
all the beautiful sentiments in the
world weigh less than one single love-
ly action, and that while tenderness
of feeling and susceptibility of gen.
erous emotions are accidents of life,
permanent goodness is an achieve
ment and quality of life.-"Fine
words" says one homely old proverb,
SHUTTER no parsnips," and in the ques-
ton how to render vegetables pala-
table, an ounce of butter would be
worth more than all the orations of
Cicero. The conclusive evidence of
mans sincerity is that he gives him
self for a principle. Words, money,
all things else are comparatively easy
to give away, but when man makes
a gift of his daily life and practice it is
plain that the truth, whatever it may
be, takes possession of him."

How Suffrage Is Restricted In Canada.

The Canadian restrictions on suffrage
are peculiar. In order to be entitled to
vote, not only must one be a male Brit
ish subject 81 years of age and have
lived in the Dominion at least year,
but he must also have been the owner
of real estate or the occupier of q rented
house or business property for the same
time. If he owns real estate in city,
it must be worth $500, if in town
$780, and if elsewhere $3.50. If he nei-
Their owns real estate nor occupies real
estate as a tenant, he can vote if he
earns $500 year, or if he be the son of
a farmer or real estate owner and live
at his fathers home. An income voter
is not required, as all other voters are,
to live year in the district where he
wants to vote, but can register at any
time. Albany Times Union.
