Occasionally visionary enthusiast,
like Coxey, hobs into short-lived prom
inence, and it is surprising that this
class of quixotic dreamers should find
followers, in this age and land. Their
schemes are but few confused per-
captions, that take the form Of vagrant
and impractical ideas, and from these
ideas they evolve some vague and in
distinct notion that there is some
thing wrong some where, and that
their panacea, born of an imagin-
ative fancy, is the cure-all for exist.
ing ills. They are the quacks of the
body polite.

The Peoples party in their Omaha
platform speaks of Intelligence,
virtue and temperance" as Second
ary"t to political issues. This is putting
the counting room before the, school
house, the ledger before the bible,
self indulgence before self control, the
human before the divine and the
mighty dollar before Almighty God.
And yet this is, a national platform,
for the government of christian
nation. The one paragraph to which
we refer is simply enough to condemn
tie whole. 49,. -.

Elsewhere we give space to COM
munication from G.. E. Darling, re-
lative to the questionable manner in
in which the congressional convention
was secured for Fregus Falls. It is
very peculiar, and also suspicious,
that after Chairman Strain had been
unanimously requested by.a petition
signed by the leading republicans of
this county to appoint Mr.. Darling to
the vacancy from Stevens county that
he ignored the request, came a snap
game by appointing one who could
not be present, and rushed the meet
ing through, although advised of
committeeman being en- route. It is
just such contemplate tactics that
has defeated the party in this district,
and if we are not mistaken there will
be new meeting and a new place
designated. It is time that congress
ional affairs in this district were in
the hands of competent, honest and
loyal republicans, and not until such
time will the party secure a repres-
entative.

SHEM. HAM AND IAPHET.

Whatever one may believe in re-
gard to the Biblical accounts of the
estimate placed by Noah upon the
merits and capabilities of his three
sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet, there
can be no doubt that there is a wide
difference between the Semitic people
and descendants of Japhet, as to the
direction of their mental activity.
Religion and PHILOSOPHERS have had
their origin in the East, indicating
that the Semitic mind concerns itself
more with philosophical reflection
and speculation than with the inn
provement of earthly surroundings.
The Teutonic nations, on the other
hand, though for ages behind their
Oriental brethren in philosophy have
always been intensely practical.
"What relation will this bear to us
now? How will it effect our present
condit 'oi?" have been the two supreme
questions. Consequently we find the
Teutonic peoples the pioneers in dis
covery, in the mechanic arts, and as
we might expect, the inventors of the
steamship, the railroad, and the prac-
teal improvements which develop
modern civilization. No country is
more thoroughly practical than our
own and here it is that we find the
greatest and best equipped railroads
of the world. Occupying the front
rank is the Burlington Route, with
its 1000 miles of track, reaching all
points i'll the central West. For maps
and time tables of these lines, call on
your home agent, or address w. J. c.

A rumor of an attempt to bribe tv

A rumor of an attempt to bride two
senators, to vote against the tariff bill,
by offering them $4,000 each, and
that the sugar trust gets protection
because Of half million contribution
to the democratic campaign fund of
1892, caused a ripple of excitement
last week. AS the party, who it is
said, offered the bride, is a protested
lobbyist of cheap repute, even for
one of his ilk, the charge of bribery
at least is considered questionable, as
no one would trust this particular
lobbyist with any such sum.

A REJOlNDER.

IL. j, S." again rushes into print
in the Tribune this week, and he is
evidently not in as good humor as in
his first article.
He wants to know why we did not
take the Owen instead of the Donnelly
vote as basis of calculation. Simply
because the former was the vote Of
1890 and the latter of 1892. The
$50 votes for Owen had, it is true,
dwindled to 1873 for Donnelly, but the
most recent votes are the true basis
of estimate. The loss of 400 votes in
two years in this county may not be
comforting or suspicious, but it is
cold fact nevertheless.
Now the item over which al. J S."
gets so worked up was qualified, and
the sentence to which he refers read,
chose of the class named who are
not irtolerant fanatics and bigots are
populists." We do not understand,
unless it is done with deliberate in
tent, why az. j. S." misquotes us, as
our wording emphaticalIy makes a
distinction. In regard to our ode
pendence" on any class, we would
have him distinctly understand that
we will criticise any, either or all of
the political factions, just as we may
deem it necessary to the public
welfare. That to be candid is to be
impudent, is a new populistic notion,
but candor compels us to add that ii
is very evident from the heavy re
duction in the Owen-Donnelly vote,
that the candid criticisms of a loyal
and independent press has been very
effective, something al. J. S.
evidently don't relish, but cold, hard
facts are not usually palatable.

The St. Paul Globe recently pub

The st. Paul Globe recently pub
lished the following editorial, and we
copy it, as it not ouly conveys an idea
of the dissatisfaction andthe disapoint
ment, of the leading democrats of the
country, toward the present demo-
cratic majority, but also gives good
and sufficient reasons why the bust
ness of the country cannot or will not
revive, until there is decisive and def
mite action taken on pending legisla'
ton.
The Democratic party won the last
presidential election because it prom
ised to reform the tariff. Consider
ably more than a year has passed
since the party assumed control, and
yet the tariff is not reformed, and
business in every line is paralized by
reason of the uncertainties of the flu
ture. There is no lack of money, 10
diminution of the spirit of enterprise.
The banks have more money than
ever before in our history, and are
willing to loan it on easy terms, but
they can find no borrowers. People
do not want to invest under present
conditions. They cannot engage in
manufacturing until they can do so
with a reasonable certainty of making
profit, They cannot import goods
with the probability that prices will
be demoralized by future legislation
Everybody is willing for a settlement
of the tariff, and congress is fiddling
while the business of the country is
being destroyed. 1t is a Spectacle
worthy of the art of Dore-a spec
tacle of utter heartlessness, having au
appropriate place in the domain OF the
| inferno,
