In a letter to the Galveston News, Mr..
John E. Davis asks the government to
take hold and regulate the price of his
products, if they attempt to regulate
that of silver. 'Not 80 long ago." he
says, "bacon was worth 20 cents per
pound, and cotton about the same, a ratio
of l to l. Last summer, bacon was worth
Is cents a pound, and cotton Z cents, a
ratio of II to l. It the government
can maintain the ratio between gold
and silver, it can maintain the ratio be.
tween cotton and bacon, and as citizen
of the south, directly interested in the
feecy staple, I demand laws from con-
gress restoring the latter product to it's
former comparative value"

MICHAEL ScHwAB, to pardon whom
from the %penitentiary took $1,000 words
from the pen Of Governor Altgeld, is still
addressing mass meetings in Chicago,
and still writes anarchistic editorials for
the Arbeiter-Zeitung Schwab's bitter
ness toward the government which is,

is just as rancorous as ever, and
he is fitted in every way to serve
out the term Of years upon which
he was engaged, when John P. Altgeld
in so far forgot duty as to pardon him.

AG1TAToRs in Chicago called a meet
ing of the "hungry, ill. clad and home
lees," the other evening, and only four
persons besides the reporters put in an
appearance. They we're Franklin Nc
Nally, phrenologist, and wife; w. S. Bell,
lecturer on liberal subjects; and Mrs.
Elizabeth Holmes, member Of the
Woman's committee of the common
weal-the one who called the meeting.
This speaks well for Chicago, and it is
suggested that the authorities take the
four who were present in charge, and en-
deavor to ameliorate their condition.

The elastic vocabulary of the redoubt-
able and irrepressible P. Donan, seems
to have suffered not at all with the lapse
OF years. In fact, as time rolls on, his
adjectives seem to grow more glowingly
descriptive, his verbs more luridIy
forceful, his more interestingly
specific, and the whole fabric of his
language to a more gorgeous
color, and finer texture. In a recent
communication to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, the colonel says:
I have been in the grip of the grippe
ever since last fall and am not out vet,
During the past four weeks l lave gone
through the worst illness | lave ever. en-
c0untered since my catch-as.catch-can
life and,death wrestling match with jungle
fever years ago. The buzzards lave been
ing me with hungrily expectant eyes. If 1
had been anywhere else but here l might
have turned up my toes to the wild onions:
but | really could not bear the idea of dy-
ing in Washington and being buried among
a horde of so-called American statesmen.
Think how overM helmed with shame l
would feel when Gabriel sounded the last
great reveille to have to come climbing
out in the resurrection with a vast mob OF
green and moldy congressman! How
could l have expected to escape being
damned in such company? l could not af-
ford, under existing Clevelandesque tinan-
cial~ conditions, to have myself shipped
away on ice to some decent cadaver planta-
ton. There would have been no alterna-
tive but to have a milestone, a senatorial
tariff speech, or a presidential message
hanged about my neck and he dumped into
the Potomac. But that would probably
have killed all the catfish in the river. and
that would have caused II famine among
the Washington darkies, for whose free
dom a hemisphere committed hara-kiri. So
you see ! had to live on in self-defense, as
it We're. but am not living much. l am
simply keeping out of the coroner's and I'M
the skeletoniZed persOnification of good
for-nothingism, almost worthless enough
for a senator.

UNCLE SAM has at least two profitable
stamp stores-those in New York and
Chicago-where he realizes a handsome
dividend on his investment. The re-
ceipts of the New York Office in a year
are 100000 and the expenses $780,
600, leaving a net profit to the govern
Of from its operation of s4,500,O0O. The
receipts of the Chicago Office are $780,
600 a year and the expenses are $1,000,
600, leaving a net profit to the govern
ment of $2,5O0,00O; so that New York and
Chicago together net $1,000, 900. Just
what this means is best understood when
it is known that the actual deficiency in
the postal revenues, exclusive of the
business of these two cities, is sl4,000,-
600 a year.

The Devils Lake Inter Ocean is one
of those papers which believes in repub-
licanism straight, and in it's last weeks
issue it pays it's respect to Editor Win
ship of the Grand Forks Herald, as fol-
lows:
While we are all familiar with Geo. B.
Winship's career of political depravity, the
lnter-Ocean ventures the opinion that but
very few persons were prepared to believe
that he would uphold Jud LaMoure and
condemn the republican state committee
for spewing out that political excrescerce.
Winship did it, however. The republican
state committee is composed of high-mind-
ed and able gentlemen, all of them promi.
nent In party counsels. To say harsh
things of them, as Winship has, simply
labels the author of the criticisms as a
political profigate, a bilious, dyspeptic,
jealous party outcast, the tit companion of
the man whom the committee wisely de-
cided should no longer associate with them.
For years, Winship has condemned promi-
nent members of the party organization,
and circulated and given credence to lying
~insinuations and ISLANDERS against those
whom he has chosen to dislike. Now,
however, when a man has had everything
he has asked at the hands of the republi-
cans, and who, under the "inf1uence'' of a
change in the national administration, de-
liberately and treacherously sold out his
party, is appropriately and deservedly pun
ished for his conduct, Mr.. Winship de-
tends him. The republicans of Grand
Forks have reason for congratulating
themselves over the fact that they voted
sOlidly for Jim Anderson, for in Winship'S
defense of Jud LaMoure they have posi-
tive evidence that these two party wreck
ers are in a deal. the success Of which

to this whole, section. The farmers of
the Palouse would have a home market
for their surplus produce, trainloads Of
supplies would be ordered in Spokane,
all lines of industry would brighten up
and there would not be enough labor in
this section to supply the active demand.
There is no question about this. -Four
thousand men can have employment in
the Occur d'Alenes at from 50 to So per
day, and secure a written agreement of
higher wages just as soon as lead and
silver start bact toward the old.time
values. In the face of these u%ndisputed
facts what folly to talk of marching beg
gar armies $500 miles to Washington!
The notion is preposterous.

SECRETARY OF STATE OSBORNE of
Kansas, one of the populist officials, is
sadly in need of a muzzle. Upon hear.
ing the news of the arrest of the leaders
of the commonwealers, Mr.. Osborne's
tongue ran off with his common sense,
and he gave vent to the following:
know what the charge is; 1T is that this
uprising of the people must be put down.
There will be no overt act by the people
until the next election. Then simultaneous
with the receipt Of the returns, the flames
will shoot up into the air from the Allan.
tic to the Pacific and every palatial resi-
dence in the land will be destroyed in this
spontaneous uprising of the people. Woe
unto them who have sought to stay this
tide of the last SIX months. The farmers
are preparing for this. They are selling a
horse or COW and are buying rifles with the
proceeds. and many mechanics are doing

Mr.. Osborne's fiery remarks will COM
pare favorably with the most inham-
matory of anarchistic speeches, and
coming from one who holds the position
he does. are not only ill advised, but al.
together to be condemned. If he will
revert IN memory to a period Of a little
more than a year ago, he will see "a na-
ton, more prosperous than any on
earth. And IN the short time which has
has elapsed since then, this prosperity
has disappeared. In place thereof, we
have strikes, and disturbances.1 and
armies of the commonweal. The threats
OF legislation by the combined forces of
the democrats and p%opulists have ushered
in disaster, to occupy the peace formerly
held by prosperity. Labor has been de-
prived of opportunity to be worthy of it's
hire. Capital has been driven from in
vestment to idleness. Industry has
been crushed, and with all of it's boosted
ability, neither democracy nor populism
is able to bring order out of the chaos
which exists. It will not be flames,
which will greet the eyes of Mr.. Osborne
or of any other person, after the next
general election. The eyes of Mr.. o.
borne will meet with Stygian dark
nees-that into which he and others of
his political creed will be relocated.
Farmers and mechanics are not buying
weapons with which to inaugurate a
period of carnage. They have a more ef-
fective instrument-the ballot. They
have been deceived once by the sophist-
ries and vaporings of democracy and
populism. They have suffered a little
over a year of the ascendancy of these
parties, and the result is a wholesome
lesson.

INSTEAD of commenting severely upon
the Coxey gang, Mr.. Cleveland ought to
prepare a special message, proposing for
the relief of tramps a small tax upon
corporations and estates having a net
annual income of more than $4,000, says
the sarcastic New York Sun. We are
surprised to see the master snubbing the
scholar. The Coxey movement is per.
haps the greatest compliment that has
ever been paid to MI. Cleveland's econo-
mic and political wisdom.

TALK about western push and 60
aheaditiveness. Down at st. Paul q
day or SO ago, an old man, with silvery
hair and hating step, was at the depot,
waiting for a train to Duluth. While
there, he met an old lady, with hair and
step the fac-similes of his own. The
two struck up an acquaintance, and in
side of an hour had gone to the Justices
office and been married. Those Mime
sotans evidently do not believe IN lengthy
c%ourtships.

The Spokane Review speaks a word
OF good advice to the Coxeyites out in
Washington. II labor would listen to
reason, it says, and take such wages as
the nine-owners could pay-such wages
in reality as would give labor the same
purchasing power it had three or four
years ago-there would be employment
within a fortnight for 1000 workers.

The Minot Journal asserts that maple
syrup a be made-is made in North
Dakota-from the sap of the box alder,
and the TRIBUNE fails to see why it
should not be done. At any rate, it will
be as near maple syrup as the major
portion of the so.called article sold in
the state-which is altogether guiltless
of ASSOCIATION at any time with a maple
tree. II box alders will produce maple
syrup, let's inaugurate a new industry in

The settlement OF the tariff question
appears just as far away as eve Dem
ocratic newspapers have promised a
speedy settlement of all differences, and
the adoption of a tariff bill Which shall
be satisfactory. After the house of rep
resentatives toyed with the Wilson bill
and the business interests of the country
for weeks, and finally passed the bill,
and after the senate has elaborated upon
the subject, and discussed tariff for
weeks of precious time, the senate fin
ance committee now comes in with a
batch of amendments, which is in reality
nothing more than a compromise meas
ure. There are signs of dissatisfaction
in the house, which threatens to rebel
against the proposed amendments, aud
the question is again hopelessly mud
died. Ex-Speaker Reed gives the pith
OF the whole matter, when he says:
1.-The presentation by the senate finance
committee of 81 pages of amendments,
apparently moro than 400 in number, is
q delicate compliment to Mr.. Will
son and the house of repre-
sentatives. 1t virtually says that
the house bill was right, except on 400 or
500 points, and that the senate CON-
mittee, after a months work, find 400
mistakes in their own bill. This will
hardly tend to restore confidence in the
country, especially as every amendment
smacks of either prior ignorance or
present barter. 1t seems impossible that
a document so constructed as to show
traffic in every item, should be permitted
to see daylight in n batch. It would
have been wiser to have let the matter
come before the country item by item
rather then agglomerate the dreadful
total in one bunch. Evidently it will be
the duty of the senate to fully investigate
these proposed amendments, for when
a committee of finances refuses hearing
becauses it knows intuitively all things,
but finds by some kind of backstairs in
huence that 1T has made 400 mistakes, it
is evident that the committee will bear
