President OF the Republic personally pre-
scented Verdi with the Gordon Of the Legion
Of Honor. Verdi declines TO come 10 Lon

channel. The distinguished composer adds
that is he eager TO get back 10 mis- farm in
Italy, as he fears he will be killed by kind
ness in Paris.
Verdi praises highly the histrionic and
vocal gifts OF Mile Deina, and says that II

that some one would ask him TO drop
around and take a family dinner.
He was very neat young man, was
this organist. Though his cuffs were
fringed with tattered threads and rough
TO the skin, they were very white aud
clean, and he, too, was well shaven,
and his skin gliStened from the use Of
hot water and towels, and no one ever
thought OF being so rude as TO say:
Good morning. Have you used What's

But one day the first soprano hurried
back 10 get her veil after choir prac-

was discharged.

All hopes are now centered in the

rehearsals Of the new play are, however,
not going as smoothly as might be desired.
There has been no little friction among

and the influence Of PiRero, which was
turned TO much good in the Second Mrs.

the company.

OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to az
ford forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides of the questions at issue a fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point: not to ex-
coed one-quarter of a column, if pos
sible. If you have lengthy cOmmun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
have motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin--
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THE EDITOR

KEEvILLE, Mimi, Jan. y. '94.
EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE.
There is very serious matter that
stares large numbers of the farm
ers, in this part of the state, square
in the face, and that is, what will we
do for seed grain? 1t is very doubt
full if there is wheat enough in
Stevens Grant, and some of the adj
joining counties, for seed, unless we
draw on the elevators, and | have
failed to find any of them that in
tend to sell on time. There are some
parties that are offering to furnish
eed; but am informed that they are
asking $3.50 per bushel with good Sc
curity. | ask now how can farmer
stand it; it is simply robbery of the
meanest, and most contemplate
kind, viz, taking advantage of an
other mans necessity.
Now there are gre at many farm
ers in Stevens county, that are sup
ported by charity, this winter, the
mortgage fiend has taken their all:
they are left destitute on these
bleak prairies to starve, or eat the
bread of charity. Now how is a man
who has been reduced to such ex-
tremity, going to purchase seed
grain at any price? No money; no
credit; no chattelS to secure, or, if
they have any left they are heavily
mortgaged; some men have got their
crops mortgaged for two years in ad-
vance. Now this is very bad pre-
dicament, for one of the finest coun-
tries on earth. Now l shall not go
into the causes of all this distress;
we all know too we'll what they are;
but the fact remains just the same.
What will we do for seed grain? is
the wall that goes up from this land
of plenty. suppose if the legisla-
ture was in session, they would rem
der assistance, but that is out of the
question now.

AN IRISHMAN'S VIEWS.

He Thinks This Country a Colony
of Great Britain; and that the
A. p. AS are Her Agents.
MIR. EDITOR:
| fully agree with your view in
politics. / am led to believe that
this country is nearly as much gov
erned by England now as Ireland
is, and if it goes much further, "the
land of the brave and the Free will
have to cry for Home Rule too.
There is not much difference between
Cleveland in the White House, and
the Lord Lieutenant, in Dublin Cas-
tie. Free wool is a much wished for
boon for England, and the Irish
landlords. In Ireland one man can
take care of 1000 sheep. The Irish
landlords can now evict their ten
ants, stock their lands with sheep,
ship the wool to English looms, the
mutton to English markets, and then
England need not buy American beef
or mutton.
The A. p. A. is an English institu-
tion, organized by Belfast, and Cana
dian Orangemen, and the friends of
England in this country. England's
motto, all over the world is, "Divide
and Conquer" Besides the wish to
inStigate diS-uniOn among the
people of this country, England has
another use of the A. P. A. AS all
Irishmen are mostly Catholics, by de-
priving them of any office or employ
ment, they will then be unable to
send money to Irish members of
parliament, to aid them in carrying
on the fight for Home Rule, in the
English House of Commons. Very re-
spectfully, T. COSTELLO.

AN OPEN LETTER.
Mr.. Powell, of Saltwater, Talks to
u. S. Senator Davis.

Mr.. POWELL, OF saltwater, Talks to
U. S. Senator Davis.
SALTWATER, Feb. 81, '94
G. K. DAVIS, U. S. SENATOR:
DEAR Strive are informed by the
associated press that times are i'm
proving; that we are slowing return
ing to prosperity.
[, for one fail to see it.
1t seems to me an impossibility for
the people of this country ever again
to be prosperous and happy until
there is radical change in car fnan-
cial system.
Thomas Jefferson told us, in the
infancy of this republic, whatever
was to serve all the people should be
owned and controlled by the general
government.
Money is medium of exchange,
and is for the use and convenience of
all our people, and no corporation or
individual should be allowed to issue,
own, and control a medium of so
much Importance to our nation.
To see the effect of the private
ownership of our circulating
medium, we have but to review the
past, and recount the wrecked for
tunes, and mortgage blighted homes.
At present our medium of ex-
change is owned, issued, and control
led by private individuals and cOrpo-
rations; and can only be gotten into
the channels of trade as some one
borrows it and pays discount or in
terest. A dollar borrowed is never
owned, and must be returned to the
bank by some one. Business men and
manufacturers understand that 80
per cent Of our money gets into cir
culation through the sale of agricul-
tural products; the low price of
wheat, corn, oats, cotton, etc., COM
PEELED the farmers to sell closer than
for many years, to pay help and cur
rent expenses.
Neither the borrower or other la
borers have any money, therefore
there is no inducement for the manu-
facturer to kindle the fire in the fur
mace and resume work on borrowed
money, with no prospect of selling
his goods or wares.
Interest and discount on our
medium of exchange, and the stock
and bonding system have brought up
on us our present distressed condi-
tion, and have placed upon the Shout
ders of productive industries a debt
of 81 billions of dollars, on which we
pay an annual interest of not less
than 81, SOC, 100000.
Do you know, Sir, that we have
reached the time in our national ex-
istence when it is no longer possible
for labor to accumulate enough, over
and above a miserable subsistence.
to pay the interest, say nothing
about the principal, of this enormous
debt? In the 20 years since our
minis we're closed to the free coinage
of silver we have dropped into debt
q billions of dollars. We owe Eng
land, or English capitalists, 8 billions
of dollars on which we pay an annual
interest of not less than 800 million
dollars. As the debts of the masses
increase, the wealth of classes in
creases, and they are using their
great wealth to corrupt legislation
and prolong their own reign.
To b continued next week.
