NEWS SUPPRESSED.
Hon. j. A. Keyes Endorses Congress-
man Boen-2,5OO POpulist Papers.

Mr. Editor-A second trip to Washington
gave me an opportunity to observe our
solens at the national capitol. 1 met quite
a number of them incidentally, and heard
much political gossip.
The tariff bill was under debate in the
senate but must confess that the Associ-
ated Press dispatches gave very little indi-
cation of what was actually taking place
there
The sharp and caustic utterances of sena-
tors who represent the ideas held on the
tariff question by the majority of the Pop
ulists are never printed, and if a senator
like Teller strikes a hard blow, he did
while was there, at the policy that has
brought the country to the present pltlaDle
condition, nothing is said about it.
Senators Allen and PETER seem to hold
the balance of power and are using 1t with
tact and discretion to get all they can in the
interests of the people by forcing conces-
siOns from the Democrats as the different
schedules of the bill are voted upon.
There seems to be substantial unity among
the Populist members, both in the house
and senate. I met Representatives Boen
and Hall, and was very kindly treated by
them. Mr.. Boon is a valuable member OF
congress and is sound on all the leading
issues. 1 was surprised at the accuracy of
his information and the ability he is show
ing in his work as legislator. His in
f1uence is constantly increasing, and 1 was
Informed by leading Populist in Washing
ton that he has not committed an error
during The session He said: keep you
eye on that man, he will be heard from be-
fore long in a way that will surprise you.
Mr.. Boen's bills are all good and to the
point, and when he says a thing it is under
stood that he means it and is prepared
to defend his position. He should by all
means be returned for another term, as
such men are badly needed to assist In
shaping the policy of this new coming
party of the republic. We must not SWAP
horses in crossing the torrent we have be-
fore us. Gen. Taubeneck is also working
hard and with gratifying results.
Dunning, of the National Waterman, tells
me that there are $500 PopuHst papers in
the country and they are being started every
where. Just as 1 came away Mr.. Boen
after long search in the files of the house
found Gen. Weaver's old bill, introduced
while in the house, in the interests of the
soldiers, providing for the issuing Of
greenbacks, and it is to be published in the
Waterman and will be of national inter
est. The fact that such bill was intro
duced has been denied and this is the only
copy in existence.
1t shows that the general has followed his
course amid reproval and is now being
justified by the rising voice of the people
of the country.
At a later day I will give some other
impressions formed while at the Capitol
but enough for this time.

GRANITE FALLS, Mimi, May 81, 1884
Editor Representative: I have been a
reader of your paper for some time; liked
it so well, concluded I would be a sub
scriber and not bother my neighbor every
week for his.
Your paper is a good one, and I enjoy
passing it around to my Republican friends
Having seen no letters from Granite
Falls concerning the Peoples party
thought perhaps you might think they had
no support in this part; nevertheless we
are right in it, and will roll up a good big
wad in their behalf this fall.
In regard to the proposed fusion in your
issue of may %, there is one grand kick
If the Democrats want to indorse our
ticket let them do So if not, let them keep
out altogether. That seems to be the
general decision. l.. NJ

THE ELEVATOR COMBINE GOING TO
PIECES.
Floating Competitors ntBuffalO Cause
SlashinE of Rates.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 30.-The elevator
octopus, which has fattened for many years
the grain trade of the west and has de-
fled the state Legislature in it's efforts to re-
duce the enormous profit of the pool, has at
last been brought to time by the floating
elevators which this spring entered into
competition with the regular elevators for
the trade of transferring grain from lake
vessels to Erie canal boats or to regular
cars Whether the business has been good
or bad, whether the farmers raising
grain at low cost or not, or whether boats
were carrying grain to Buffalo at less than
the cost of transportation, this elevator
pool has demanded it's full tolls of seven-
eighths of a cent on every bushel handled.
In good times and bad times it has paid
dividends as high 30 per cent a year.
Now the combine, in order to drive out the
floating elevators, is transferring grain as
low onc-eighth of q cent bushel, and it is
even claimed that some cargoes have been
handled for nothing. 1t is possible to ship
corn from Chicago to New York at Az cents
a bushel, the lowest through rate for many
years, on account of the war. What the
outcome of the struggle will be no one can
now foretell. Some predict that the COM
bine, which has withstood numberless at
lacks, will go to pieces and that the eIe-
vator controlled by the trunk lines will
go by themselves, leaving the other eleva-
tors to fight it out for themselves Others
predict that the pool will put in enough
money to buy out the floating elevators
and it's grip on the trade will again be re-
sumed. The Erie canal boatmen are feel
ing extremely comfortable over the warfare.
as they are the gamers whichever side
comes out ahead. The trunk lines are the
pig losers In the struggle, for they are UNI
able to get grain while the canal boats are
being all filled.

Commemorative fear it is too late to
make the change requested. 1t would re-
quire another meeting of the state central
committee, and they might adhere to the
present date. for that date was agreed
upon after full discussion. The fact is that
the state OF Minnesota is so big that it Is
impossible to fix a date that will suit every
one. If June 18th was named it would in
terfere with the barley and clover harvest

through this county and on Saturday the
county was organized once more for bust
ness. Now l am intending to make our
state meeting by team anyway, as far east
Dodge county, from there it will depend
on roads and weather. 1 would like to get
an engagement for July 4th in one of the
following named counties: Cottonwood
Waterman, Blue Earth, Waseca, Steele

county North or South joining any of the
ones named above. My aim is to try and
make as many speeches from the time

Dodge county or Minneapolis, as l cam

some arrangements with the different coun-
ties named to give them a schoOl-house

the fortune to raise new question al
most from the ashes Of an old one In
stating the position of the Catholic
church on the woman suffrage question:
and in advocating 10 so strenuously, he
has been vigorous in his defense Of the
public schools. But he has found fault
with them because sufficient attention is
not paid TO the constitution of the United
States and Of the states themselves as
branches of study. His idea is that the
children should be given stipulated
amount of instruction in the provisions of
the constitution as a part of their studies
The idea has been taken up with some
vim, and the agitation in its favor has al
ready begun.
II is likely that the monsignor will
enter with more energy than ever upon
the work of municipal reform in social
questions-work TO which he owes his
present prominence in no small degree
The monsignor is not as sensational as
Parkhurst, but he is far more radical
and has predicted that we are on the eve
of revolution in comparison with which
the revolutions of the past win seem milk
and water.
Certainly no one can speak with more
authority on behalf of the Catholic church
in New York than he.

Burglars in the Sewers.

There is a band of thieves in Naples
which, like rats, frequent the under
ground sewers, and bore their way into
shops for the purpose of robbing tills and
goods. On the morning Of the I'd, a
leather dealer, on unlocking his ware
house, found large hole in the flooring,
and skins and money gone to the value of
5000 francs. He called the police, and
several of them, together with some
sewermen, penetrated into the dark
vaults, slipping and sliding along the mud
of the sewers, and with a single lattern
They hadIpot gone far when they discov-
cred a man, and called to him to stop.
But with cry, Madonna! Don't kill
me-" the man fled along the sewer, the
police firing after him, and following him
for at least mile, passing Under three or
four streets, but without success. The
police are now watching the sewers like
cats; but there are many escape holes.

The Chicago Tribune has taken the trouble to
hunt out the women Of the city who are earning
a living in the various ways which used to be
mans exclusive property, and IL would seem
from the result that what women cannot do in
the field of employment is much more simple
than what she can accomplish. The first on the
list is the story OF a woman undertaken, who has
been In the business fifteen years. Several other
women are engaged in the same unattractive
employment. They make their offices cosey and
homelke with dainty things, hiding the grew
some reality of their work much as possible.

by men. with women assistants, and most OF
their customers are men, Again woman's dain-

Women engaged in art of various degrees of
excellence are legion, but and then one
masters the art of photography, and Chicago
has several successfully employed in this busi-
ness. One secret of their success Is their appre-
citation OF the fact that photographs must fatter

business by studying IL from the ground up.
