The Monday morning daily papers

The Monday morning daily papers
contained the following:
Indianapolis, Aug. 12.-Leary Tenn
pleton, the Populist candidate for
governor in 1892, Phillip Rappaport,
editor Of the German Tribune, a So
cialist publication, "Col." Allen Jen-
nings, late of Coxey's army, and
Thomas j. Gilligan, are tonight pris-
oners in the county jail as martyrs to
the cause of free speech. They were
arrested tonight in West indianapolis
by City Marshal Perry, on charge of
desecrating the Sabbath by making
Populist speeches. The Populists have
been holding political meetings in a
tent. Rappaport was arrested while
speaking, and when TempletOn pro-
tested against the arrest, as an out
rage, he, too, was arrested The audi
ence started up in deriSiOn the hymn,
"My Country, 'Tis Of Thee. Sweet
Land of Liberty" and when Gilligan
called for three cheers for the flag he,
too, was arrested. Jennings protest
caused his arrest. The occurrence has
caused intense indignation among the
Populists.
So it seems that down in Indiana
the people cannot me ct on Sunday and
discuss political issues. The REPRE-
SENTATIVE does not, as rule, advo-
cate the holding Of political meetings

Labor in Politics.

A very vigorous movement is on foot
to thrust various labor unions into
politics. The probabilities are that
the movement will be a failure in re-
gard to the best organized, most in
telligent and conservative unions. 1t
is equally probabl that for any union
first step toward disruptiOn.-Ch
Herald.
If not political action, what? Are
unions to cOnfine their functions to
conducting strikes? Nineteen out Of
twenty strikes fail. AS for the ''beSt
organized, most intelligent and con-
servative unions" they have gone into
political agitation for keeps. The
trouble with the Herald is that it al
ways condemns any labor movement
except movement Indicative Of alb
ject submission to the power of money.
The Times regards the entrance Or
ganized labor upon the political field
as the most hopeful phenomenon. 1t
indicates that labor has discovered
that under existing conditions it is
Outclassed in any struggle with organ
lied monopoly. From the strike, which
too often fails as weapon, it might
turn in one of two directions. Either
it must oppose resistance to the gov
ernment, whose Intervention has so
often defeated it in industrial wars, or
it must by the civilized and truly
American device of political agitation
and the ballot gain cOntlOl of that
government and make the conditions
OF industrial competition more eQuit-
able.
Labor has chosen the wiser course

The Republicans of the Seventh dis
trict have nominated F. M. Eddy, of
GlenwoOd, to be defeated by Mr.. Boen.
Halvor Steenerson and Mr.. Lanphere
were defeated along with Messrs.
Feig, Comstock, and others. The
resolutions are commented on else
where. The convention took the ad-
vice of the Minneapolis Tribune and
sat down upon Mr.. Lanphere and his
sensible views upon the silver ques-
tion. The district will now proceed
to sit down upon Mr. Eddy. The fact
that he has been in the employ of the
Northern Pacific railway accounts
for his nomination.

An Old Hero.

That gallant, spendid, old soldier Of
Cokato, A. &. Sexton. is doing tre-
mendous woik in Wright county. He
is poor but he works as if he had a
million. He is going from school
house to school house, with zeal that
discounts Peter the Hermit in the
CruSades. He is not working tore

The nomination of A. B. Robbins as
the Republican. candidate for the
house in the Thirty-first district of
Hennepin county has about it the
flavor of grotesqueness. Mr.. Robbins
is one of the officers and heavy stock
holders in the Northwestern Elevator
company. This company, the REPRE-
SENTATIVE is Informed on good au-
thority, last season paid dividend of
fraction over A per cent. Soon aft
erwards, the REPRESENTATIVE is also
informed, the company cut down its
office force and reduced the wages of
some of those remaining on the ground
OF hard times. Mr.. Robbins is at the
head of big corporation. His SYM
pathies are all on the side of corpora
tions. He is, Of course, an enthusi-
astlc Washburn man. He will never
nave a chance to cast a vote for his
idol for the United States senate.

on Sunday, but it does think that to
arrest people who think differently on
this subject is an outrage.
Notoriety Hunting.

One w. w. Williams, now of Mime
apolis. has just issued an imbecile
"open letter" to c. X. Davis, profess
ing to criticise the latters public
career. Williams clearly shows his
simplicity in this futile effort which
amounts to nothing. His seeking aft
er cheap notoriety is quite obnoxious.
Austin Transcript.
II the charge that the Transcript
makes we're true, It's conclusion would
be correct, but it is not true. Mr..
Williams has no desire for notoriety
not even for the obnoxious sort
which the political preacher editor of
the Transcript is SO literally endowed
with. To seek after cheap notoriety
is obnoxious; to acquire obnoxious
nOtOriety is worse.

4 Characterized Man.

We are glad to hear that VIM.
Hodgson, of Hastings, one of the
leading lawyers of Dakota county. and
of the state, and a very clear-hcaded,
able man. has declared himself in fav-
or of the free coinage of silver on the
basis of 16 to /. Indeed that is tile

of the old party lines this fall in that
county, and in fact all over the state.

Hennepin county 'fpr political reasons
This is, in the main good platform.
1t would have been better had it gone
further and Endorsed the position of
the Peoples party on all Of the issues
in the campaign. Nevertheless, it
marks great step in advance and for
that reason the REPRESENTATIVE
congratulates the party. 1t is also in
striking contrast with the action of
the recent Republican platforms put
forth in Hennepin county. Those
platforms present the sole issue of
Washburn and anti Washburn. They
fail to recognize the fact that there is
any other issue involved in the cam
paign. Here, again, the action of the
Democratic party is a matter for con-
graduation. Maybe, in score or more
of years, that party may be able to
catch up with the band wagon. Let
us hope and pray that this may be so.

The defeat of Coroner Spring in the
recent Hennepin county Republican
convention is thing to be commend
ed. DR.. Spring is, we are informed. a
physician in the employ of the 500 rail
road. That fact of itself should de-
feat him. The people of Hennepin
county arc little aware of the rotten
ness that prevails in the coroner busi-
ness. Cases of personal injury on the
railroads and elsewhere among the en-
ployes of corporations have been man
lpulated in the most shameful man
ner. Evidence has been suppressed in
many cases in order to prevent the
bringing of cases against these cor
porations. There ought to be law
forbidding coroner to be in the en-
ploy of any corporation.

Well Said.

The st. Peter Tribune, says the
Minneapolis Penny Press, ''is border
ing on Populism, and this is generally
the result of disappointed politi-
Clans" If telling the truth with re-
lation to industrial, commercial, So
cial and political conditions, is popu.
lism, probably the Penny Press will
accept the criticism. For our part we
think the greater the number of news
papers that are induced to speak out
independently and give the unvarnsh-
ed truth on these subjects, the better
it will be for the people. .-Moorhead

The Dead Pugilist.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-THE
funeral of Bowen, the pugilist,
who was killed FRIDAY night. took
place to-day. A vast throng of
people gathered or the street in
front of the house, and a contin-
ual stream passed through the
house, viewing the remains,
which were lying in an elegant
metallic casket in the front room
of the little cottage. The pannel
was removed from the glass lid
of the case, so as to give full
view of the deceased's counter
ance. The features we're per-
fectly composed and we're
most life-like, ana he appear
ed to be lying in a peace
full sleep. Conspicuous among
the floral offerings which were
arranged upon a table, in one of
the ear rooms, was a large
white cross erected upon a bed
of white roses aud having upon
the crossbar the simple word:
Andy" At one of the bases
was a beautiful heart of delicate
pink roses and at the other end a
white anchor had been arranged.
A card on the cross bore this in
scription: with the sympathy
of George Lavigne and Sam
Fitzpatrick"
George Lavigne and Sam Fitz-
patrick presented themselves at
the cottage afew moments before
10 o'clock. AS soon as they could
be admitted to the room in which
was lying the dead boxer, they
entered and Lavigne too a posi-
ton by the side OF Bowen's head
and gazed long and earnestly at
the face of the man who fell from
the blow of his strong right arm.
Lavigne did not want to leave
the corpse and had to be dragged
away to the rear room. where he
remained until Fitzpatrick, Jim
Hall and the latter's manager,
Mr.. Curtis, placed him in a hack
and took him to attend the funer-
al. Almost every sporting man
in this city attended the funeral.
