Duluth, but may make all it's ship
ments to West Superior, Wisconsin.
Then Congress, not the State, will
nave sole Jurisdiction. In the next
place those commissioners were ap-
pealed to to reduce rates from Crook
ston, and Crookston alone, to certain
points. They proceeded to reduce
rates to and from all other points in
the state, on the Great Northern line!
The United States Supreme Court
held in the celebrated "Milk case"
that rates could only be reduced by a
Court, in a judicial proceeding. Who
ever heard OF court, when John
Smith sued John Brown for 800, pro-
ceedlng to give judgment against John
Brown not only for 800 in favor of
John Smith, but in favor of Peter
Jones for $500; and Bill jenkins for
$1,000; and Timothy Holahan for S., 900,
ETC., etc. When this thing reaches
the United States Court, about five
years from now, it will be laughed out
OF the judicial precincts as an absur-
dity.
Ii Mr.. Becker and the other Rail
| road commissioners, and Gov. Nelson,
really meant to help the farmers why
was not this appeal decided when first
made, nearly year ago, and decided
as to CroOkston alone? Then other
points could have followed suit. No;
the whole thing was kept back until
just before election; and then a case
was made up that will not hold water
for five minutes in the United States
| Court.
Long before this Is per cent matter
is reached in Washington the Popu-
lists will have carried the United
States, and the people will own the
Great Northern and all the other
roads; and transportation rates will
| have been reduced, not Is per cent but
- per cent: and railroad travel will be
one cent per mile instead of three
cents, and the people will laugh with
| happiness.
| But, says one, think Of the debt the
United States would have to incur
if they bought up the railroads !!
What of it, if the thing that causes
the debt is able to pay the debt? In
Australia the people paid for the rail
roads, out of their earnings, in ten
years: and in the meantime they
raised the wages of the employees and
cut down the rates tremendously: and
still had enough left to nearly pay all
the expenses of government: and
there the people now travel one thous-
and miles for s.: while here we pay
500.
Don't be coaxcd away from the Peo-
pies Party, brethern, by any such
tubs thrown to the Whale;" by any
such subtle devices that sound pretty
but amount to nothing; by any such
Dead Sea apples, beautiful to the
sight but ashes to the taste.
The Omaha Platform is the only
hope of the people Of the United
States. You have had enough Of old
fashioned, old-narty trickeries. They
have brought you to your present
wretched condition.
Stand by the Peoples Party: and let
Governor knute and his deputy Demo
cratic candidate. Becker, play CON
certs on the same string of the
same old fiddle to the end of
the campaign. They understand each
other and the people understand them
both. Id.

and how the Nye Normandcn was
started in 1894 and now it is cannonad-
ing our candidate for Congress, Boen.
Remember how one of the leading Pop
ulist papers at Washington, two years
ago, was corrupted by the enemy, and
sent out appeals for the Democratic
party, in its last issues, just before
election, to all it's readers in the South
and West. We are fighting the Money
Power; and their weapon is money;
their method corruption.
1t is very evident that if these con-
spiratOrs could have had their way
il there had been no REPRESENTATIVE
to expose them, they would have es-
tablished their clutch on the conf
dence of our people, and have buried
the Peoples Party of Minnesota fifty
fathoms deep before snow flies.
We do not say that all who took part
in the efforts to establish the daily
were enemies of our cause. Many Of
them we know were not. They are
honest men, and were trying to help
the party. They were deceived by
those in whom they had confidence.
And we will not even say that the
three lawyers, Macdonald, Peterson
and O'Brien, meant to stab the party.
They, too, may have been fooled. They
may not have as much sense as our
form of government implies every
adult citizen should possess. They
perhaps did not realize that they were
sticking their heads, (valueless to any
body but themselves, into the mouth
of the lion, Plutocracy; ready to be
snapped off.
But it may be set down that the
Peoples Party cannot raise $4,000 or
$4,000 to start a daily; and if any one
else pnts in that great sum he will
and must own and control the paper.
Neither do we regard daily as so nee
essary as some think. Our farmers
would not need it.: and our only hold
in the cities is the organized labor
force, and they have been SO drilled
into conviction by their societies and
clubs and the teaching of events that
the chatter of the city dailies will
affect them little.
Why would it not be good policy for
the committee to try to raise $1,000
instead of $4,000, and help the weekly
papers which are already supporting
our ticket,-like the Progressive Age,
the Union, the ST. Paul Herald, the
Populisten, the REPRESENTATIVE,
etc.? These papers are already doing
good work. Give them 81, GOO each and
let them pay it back in copies to be
sentfree during the campaign all over
the state. And if Macdonald objects
to the REPRESENTATIVE leave it out.
We can live without him or his COM
mittee.
But it is preposterous nonsense to
try to raise $4,000 to start daily,
and 800, 900 to keep it alive, while our
poor Weeklies are struggling desper-
ately to live; our farmers are selling
wheat at 45 cents bushel and our
workingmen have a hard time to get
enough to feed themselves and fam
lilies.
We are disposed to be charitable,
but we cannot help believing that the
whole scheme originated with our en-
emies, and was intended to destroy us
utterly and forever. I'D.

history of our party, they rode rough
shod over our natural leaders, like
Meighen, Vermilya, Poore, Harrison,

AN AvER1Ep TRAGEDY.

How an English Captain Put Ous Fire
- IN tho Nick or Time.
The Historical Records Of the
Forty-Third Light Infantry" the ia
naous regiment which played a most
important part in: English warfare
during the last quarter. of the eigh-
tecnth century and the early part of
the nineteenth, contains q stirring in
citlent of the prompt action which
avcrtcd tragedy, says the Aanches-
ter Times. .....s ..s.. sa..... :
Worn out with hard march the brig
ado under Capt. Lloyd approached the
convent at Bcncvcntc, where the cav
airy and reserve still remained, hoping
for shelter. They were disappointed.
The convent was occupied by several
thousand infantry, and the lower gal
lcries were SO ticnscly packed with the
horses of cavalry and artillery that it
was hardly possible for q man to make
his way among them. o..
Two of the officers stood looking in
at the dubious prospect through the
single door that gave ingress and
cgress- A sudden cry of alarm burst
from the lips of one. Look there"
he cried, pointing over the backs of
inc nOEScS. "rNG CDlU moment OTC, OF
the inside wooden shutters burst into
flame: Mortified, the officers looloed of
the burning shutter, and realized the
hopefessness Of the situation. 1t would
be impossible to get the G,o0o men and
horses out, and they muststand by and
see their comrades perish niscrably.
There was no water near, and if there
were, how get at thefirc through those
densely crowded horses?
The flames crept upward towards,the
raftcrs. GOOD heavens! Something
must be donc!" cried Capt. Lloyd. And
then with a motion to those; outside to
be quiet, the brave captain lcaped on
the back of the =, nearest horse, and
stepping from back to back of the ami
mails, ran to the blazing shutter, tore
it from its hinges and. pitched AT from
the window. Then he made his way
back to the door in the same. way as
| before.
So quickly was the act performed
that even the horscs>were scarcely, dis
| turbea. The building was saved and
there was no panic, which would have
been as disastrous rs the flames. The
| captains eyebrows and mustachc were
| scorched, but that was nH. And
they'll grow again." he said. with q

Shooting In France.

Shooting is probably the most univer-
sally popular sport III France. Almost
every man is, has been or will be a
"chasseur. 1t is healthy exercise,
inexpensive, since 90 persons can unto
to hire the lease Of as many acres, and
is unattended with risk of disappoint-
ment, as the unluclly sportsman can al.
ways buy il rabbit at the Dealers to
bring home to his wife. The French
government annually issues $50, 900 IL
censes, which bring in about G400, 900.
The largest number Of these permits is
delivered III the departments Of Gironde,
Bordeaux, Bouches du Rhone, Marseilles
and Seine ct Disc, on account of their
nearness to Paris, about 13. 900 in each.
The department Of the Seine, in which
Paris is situated, is responsible only for
5000 licenses. there being very little

SEALS ARE FOND OF MUSIC.

And Hunters Use Sweet Sounds to GET
Them Within Reach.
"Seals are very fond of music, )" said
G. L. Tompkins of New Bedford, Mass,
land the hunters who pursue them most
successfully usually make use of some
musical instrument to attract them. l
have q distinct recollection of the first
seal hunt | ever went on. Early one
morning |, in company with about a
dozen others, set out in a rowboat for q
spot where the seals were said to be
plentiful. The boatmen dipped their
oars slowly in the water and sung in
unison weird, wild song in peculiar
undertone. TO me, being uninitiated in
the sport, this seemed to be curious
accompaniment to seal hunt but was
still more surprised when one of the
men produced a flute ard played on it
a quaint, sympathetic air.
Tho effect Of tho music was soon ovis
dent, as dozens of seals polEed their
heads up, some remaining basking on
the water, while others clambered up on
the lodges of rock, charmed almost to
Inconsistencies by the music. Steering
the boat to the shore, the musician all
the while keeping up the plaintive air,
one Of the men jumped Out. He carried
with him huge club and long sharp
knife. Noiselessly creeping to whero
some Of the seals were lying on the rocks
listening intently to the music, he dealt
one of them terrible blow on the head
with the club, stunning it, and then
made short work of tho poor animal
with his knife In the same manner we
secured IL fine seals before night. -

ROBBED BY THEIR GUESTS.
Hotel Keepers Complain of the Continua
Theft of Small Articles.


1t is fact well known to every hotel
and restaurant keeper in the city that
people will steal. Why they resort to
peculation is mystery, but a far great
er mystery seems to be wrapped up in
the class of articles that are stolen.
Guests who stop at first class hotels
and pay their bills in departing have
been known scores Of times to take with
them toilet soap and towels from their
rooms. Blankets, sheets, clocks and or
naments likewise disappear with the
departing transients.
Nor does the peculation stop at this.
Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks and
spoons plainly marked with the names
Of the hotels are stolen again and again.
This seems strange, for if the articles
are used by the thief they bear, of
course, the indelible evidence of the
guilt of the peculators.
Sometimes the stolen articles are re-
covered, and sometimes they are not.
Only recently the proprietor of local
hotel advertised repeatedly and offered
a large reward for the return of valu-
able clock Of large size, which had been
taken from the hotel and in a manner
never discovered. All the advertising
was in vain.
The late John Hoey once succeeded
by shrewdly worded letter in recover
ing valuable rug which a well known
New York woman had taken with her.
AS soon as its absence was noted from
the Hollywood Mr.. Hoey caused to be
written to the woman letter which
read substantially as follows:
"DEAR MADAM - In packing your
clothing your maid by mistake included
the Turkish rug which was in your
room. Kindly have it returned !"
The woman had no maid, which fact
was well known to herself and to Mr..
Hoey. The assumption that the theft
was not hers accorded her an opportuni-
ty to return the stolen article, which
she did at the earliest possible moment,
sending with 1t GA the same time note
apologizing for the stupidity of the
'-maid New York Herald.

The Various Clever Devices He Used to Do

The Various Clever Devices He Used to Do
ceive His Discoverer.
A correspondent of The Popular Sci
ence News tells the following strange
story:
While searching for snails turned
over an old log and disturbed snake,
called by our negroes spreading ar
row.. !" The tactics pursued by this
snake were curious.
First he erected his head and neck
and flattened them out till they seemed
no thicker than cardboard, thus increas-
ing his apparent size, as he took care
not to be seen edgewise. The shape Of
his head changed 1t took pronounced
triangular form--similar to the heads
OF our most venomous snakes. Then his
tail, with the aid Of a dry leaf, was
rroclaiming that it was the tail of
rattlesnake
All this, coupled with an ominous
hiss was calculated to strike terror to
the heart of his disturber, as for mo-.
ment it did. ! regained my courage,
however, and began to poke the serpent
gently with stick, when, finding
"bluster" of no avail, he sought safety
in flight
Repeated "headings off" showed him
how futile wero his efforts in that line,
and he altered his tactics again. He
turned on his back and remained mo.
tionless. / threw him six feet from tho
ground, and so quickly did he turn over
that he seemed to strike on his back.
Once ON his back, nothing could in.
duce him to move. Tapping, prodding.
twisting his tail-all were in vain.
Then suspended him from the limb Of
tree, retreated little and watched.
At tho end of two minutes the reptile
moved. Slowly he turned on his spinal
column as on an axis, surveyed the
premises, and seeing nothing dangerous
dropped to the ground and was making
off
At my approach ho died again. After
sundry proddings, which failed to move
him, l rewarded him for his cleverness
by giving him the liberty that he Ger.
tainly had earned.
