4 Word of ADVICE Look to Your
Hair.

Hair.
The Supreme Court, finding that
the decision in Mrs. Blaisdell's case
would insure the discharge of Frank
Hoskins, is about to reverse that
ruling, and send Mrs. Blaisdell back
TO the insane asylum, so as to have
legal grounds to keep Frank Hoskins
there.
We want to say to the populists of
the state to be very careful and pre-
else IN all their actions or there is
danger Of their being railroaded into
the nearest lunatic asylum. They
must look especially after their hair;
keep it we'll oiled and make it lie
fiat to the head. The doctors decid-
ed that Hoskins hair was dry, and
stood out. like ANDY Jackson's, and
that that was conclusive proof he
was insane! In the next place, they
held that Hoskins had positive opin-
ions on public affairs, and talked
quietly in steady stream. Another
proof of lunacy. We would suggest
to our friends that, If they would be
safe, they must not have positive
opinions on any question; and if they
speak they should howl at the top of
their voices, in jerky, spasmedic sem
tences.
AS a further precaution we would
urge that if questioned on public af-
fairs they would say,-that both the
old parties are clearly right and
heartily in accord, on all jubjects;
that the repeal Of the Sherman act
produced splendid era of prosperity
which we are now enjoying; that
wheat at 45 cents bushel is a boon
and a blessing; that mortgages are a
sign of prosperity, and that the more
man owes the richer he is; that a
republican form of government is a
failure and fizZle; and that a
moneyed aristocracy, supplemented
by an intelligent daily press, is the
best form Of government.
With these opinions you will keep
out Of the lunatic asylum, and end
your days, free man, in the comforts
of the poor house. But above all
look carefully after your hair! II it
stands up, "like quilts upon the fret
full porcupine," you are "goner."
Nothing can save you. You will be
| playing checkers with your nose,
within three weeks, against the 'Dars,
in the next cell to poor Frank Hos
kins. Better 60 it bald-headed than
wear shaggy head of hair. Look
out! Oh hairy ones! I'D.
| Since the above was written the
law under which Hoskins was placed
in the asylum has been pronounced
unconstitutional and he has been re-
leased.-ED.

The following papers sustain the
Supreme Court in wiping out the
State Elevator. It is we'll that the
farmers should know who are and
who are not their friends:
The Howard Lake Herald; the

and the St. James Plaindealer.
Brethren, are you under any obli-

families, and drive you off your lands
and out of the state? If you are,
then you deserve to suffer.

Good.

Hon. John Twohy, Judge of the
municipal court of the city of St.
Paul, gave decision the other day,
which deserves the highest commend
alton. He enforced the law, passed
last winter, against Tom Lowry's
Twin-City street car company, to
compel it to vestibule, or enclose in
glass, the front of the cars, where the
drivers stand. Tom kicked against
it. He thought he ought to be, like
the big railroad magnates, superior
to all law; and he allowed a whole
year to pass and did nothing to carry
out the provisions of the statute.
And when an action was commenced
to compel him to do so he said the laqv
,casn't Constitutional Good Lord! Is
there anything in the constitution
about street cars, or vestibules, or
the freezing of drivers? But Judge
Twohy brushed all that nonsense
aside and enforced the law He said:
1.-THE question to be decided in this
case is whether or not this law is
within the police power of the state.
| think it is. The power of the state
is absolute, within the lines of rea-
son, to legislate for the welfare, pro-
lection and safety of the people. and
| is bounded only by the limitations
set upon it by the federal and state
constitutions. In my opinion, the
law in question does not tranSgreSS
any of these limitations. 1t was
deemed a reasonable expedient and
necessary regulation by the legisla-
ture, and it is for the law-making
power to judge Of the necessity, ex-
pediency and reasonableness of it for
the public welfare.
1T was contended. and with much
force, that this law is unreasonable
in making it a public offense to use
cars without the closure provided for
on days the weather is such that
said inclOSure, or veStibule. is not
necessary to protect the life, health
and comfort of the motorman, but
the legislature having considered it
necessary, shall not hold otherwise.
'The judgment Of the court is that
the defendant is guilty of the offense
charged in the complaint, and that
ne pay tine OF sou, IN default or the
payment of which he shall stand
committed to the ST. Paul workhOuse
until such fine be paid, not exceeding
sixty days"
And so Tom had to come down off
his high horse and obey the laws
like any other citizen; and he is hard
at work vestibuling his cars.
We are proud to say that Judge
Twohy is a constant reader of the
REPRHoENTATIvE, and the seed we
have sown has sprouted on productive
soil. We are doing some good in our
day and generation. The state has
needed for years fjust such paper as
this. Everything was abandoned to
the corporations and the money
power. l. D. -

VOL. 1. NO. 10.

anthracite coal, being more dense
and compact, takes up less space
than the same weight of the soft or
oltumlnous coal; and the freight on
1t should therefore be less instead of
more. The average yearly consump-
tlon of hard coal, per family, in those
cities, is probably eight tons. Hence
this overcharge represents tax of $4
for each household, or, say, for SC, 900
families, 100000; to say nothing of
the additional exactions Of the coal
combine Stself. But the trouble was
that the committee of fifty we're all
men in moderate circumstances, as
were likewise Messrs. Davidson and
Hawthorne. Therefore the latter
gentleman addressed letters to the
city council of St. Paul and Mime
apolis, asking, that each body should
appropriate $500 to help pay for the
collection Of facts and statistics and
the employment of attorneys, to
argue the case before the railroad
commissioners. To these letters the
governing powers of the twin cities
never made any response, and never
appropriated one cent. And the result
is, that the other day Messrs. David
son and Hawthorn appeared before
the commissioners and agreed to the
indefinite postponement of the case!
1t is enough to make ones blood boil
with rage, to think that the very
government Of these cities, elected
by the people, hold the people who
elected them in sovereign contempt,
while they cringe abiectly before. a
lot of nabobs. The city council
of St. Paul could appropriate
$4,000 for a grand jubilation in hon.
or Of James J. Hill; but they cannot
give $500 to save every family in St.
Paul 81, on their winter supply of
coal.
What is the reason Of this? Why
are human beings contemplate and
wealth SO all-powerful? The answer
is plain. Through the machinery of
party men have ceased to think for
themselves; they are transferred at
the ballot-box as cattle are loaded
into cars. They are the slaves of
names and traditions. No one re-
spects them because they represent
nothing but unthinking masses, in
capable of defending themselves or
OF Furnishing their oppressors. The
machine is the thing;-the individual
is nothing. Get the machine right
and the robbers can spit in the faces
of the voters, and empty their pock-
cts with safety. And see how the
machine is armed to the teeth. 1t
has a host Of newspapers to control
the voters by controlling public opin-
ion, and hosts of public speakers, the
ablest and shrewdest and most plau-
Fsible men in the community, to ap-
peal to deeply rooted sentiments and
prejudices and to the passions of
men. Hence a bank outweighs a
city; a railroad prince is more impOr-
tant that state.
The bigotry of party is the founda-
tion Of our misgovernment. 1t en-
slaves us, emasculates us, torpidizes
US, degrades us. If we would save
the republic we must cease to be
partisans and become once more free
men. There must be independence
of mind enough to think past the
purchased uproar. If there is not,
history will inscribe on the grave
stone of dead Liberty:-Died of un-
reasoning partisanship."

repeated assurances of his hearty
support, and here is a letter from

sures me again that he is acting in
my support, his candidacy for the
state senate in the first place being
undertaken by him in the hope that
he might be of service to me
in the election. of a senator. Mr..
Heatwole, Mr.. McCleary, Mr.. Taw-
ney, Mr.. Eustis,- sail these gentlemen
have given me the fullest assurance
of their hearty support, and the con-
tinuous dragging of their names into
this senatorial business is exceeding
ly annoying to them as it is calculat-

to placing them in false and embar-
rassing..position. I belive that at the
lowest estimate nine tenths of the
Republicans in the next legislature,
will be in favor of my return to the
