HON. JOHN w. WILLIS.
His Great Offense Is that He Is a
POpulist.
The PiOneer.Press Attacks Him.

1t is laughable to see how interested
the Republicans are to prevent the
concentration of the votes of the op-
position on any one candidate, or set
of candidates. The Democrats are al
together ''admirable" when they re-
fuse to vote for the Populists. The
Pioneer-Press says:
The Democrats of the Seventh dis
trict have taken an altogether admir-
able stand on the question of fusion,
and have set up rule of political ac-
ton from which they must not finch.
They say, at the beginning Of their
PLATFORM; 1--WE are in favor of nom
mating for office only tried and true
Democrats and according to them the
hearty and united support of the par
ty." That is all right; but no Demo
crat who Subscribes to it can consist
emily cast his vote for Judge Willis for
justice of the supreme court. Judge
Willis is not tried and true Demo-
craft" He was Democrat formerly,
but this year went over to the Populists
He was nominated by their conven-
tion, as a Populist, when he was not
the candidate of any other organiza-
ton. He was required to stand on a
platform that traverSes the funda-
mental principles of Democracy, and
contradicts utterly the platform
adopted by the Democrats of the
Seventh district. This oil and water
will not mix. 1t was long time aft
erward. when his Populism had be-
come fixed and ingrained, that he
was Endorsed by the Democratic con-
vention, as a fusion venture. Again
this was not as a Democrat. On the
contrary, Mr.. Donnelly exhibits a lib
eral contribution from him, with a
gushing letter, as proof of his earnest
ness in the cause. The "no fusion
ists," therefore. including the Demo-
Gratis of the Seventh district as a
whole, cannot vote for Judge Willis
without denying their own words and
casting their principles to the winds.

NOT TRUE.

The Pioneer Press of Monday morn
ing printed a speech made at MankatO
by Gov. Nelson, and says it covers all
the issues Of the campaign. This is
not true. The speech contains no ref
erence to the issue, which is the steal
ings of the Republican pine land ring,
which were exposed by the Peoples
party men berS of the last legislature
and which has resulted in the return
to the state treasury of thousands of
dollars. Gov. Nelson boldly ignores
this issue, but devotes the bulk Of his
speech to the abuse of the Peoples
party and its principles. He had the
bad taste to repeat the charge that
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, was arrested
for opening letter addressed to an
other person, but forgot to say that
Mr.. Waite was discharged at the eX-
animation, thus showing conclusively
that there was no foundation for the
cha rye in the first place.

TIMBER FIRES.

At the meeting of the Fire Under
writer's Association of the Northwest,
held in Chicago last week, w. J. Little
john, manager of the North British
and Mercantile Insurance company, in
his annual address, said
1.-THE recent forest fires are traceable
to incendiaries. Timber pirates, who
have appropriated thousands of dol
lars worth of lumber belonging to the
state, in trying to cover up their steal
ings from the state officials, who, as a
commission, have been investiga ting
the frauds against the state, have fired
the pine toppings, underbrush and
sWamps, so as to mako it impossible to
obtain correct measurement of the
stumpagc and threby leave no basis
for suits which the state might bring
against them. That there is urgent
need of some system of thorough in
vestigation on the part of the state
officials into the origin of and circum-
stances attending fires everyone must
admit, but how to accom- lsh it is the
question to be we'll considered. l
would recommend that investigation
by pre- PER officials of the cause of all
fires be required by law, and provision
be made for the prosecution of all
criminal or fraudulent cases."
The REPRESENTATIVE has hereto
fore referred to this matter, but does
not wish to be understood as indOrSing
the charge made by Mr.. Littlejohn. 1t
is too horrible to be true.

that If this wrong had been righted
the rates of taxation in many counties
In this state would be reduced to less
than one-half what they are now. This
is especially true of Hennepin, Ramsey
and st. Louis 'coultities. Then when,
there is added to this the stocks, bonds
mortgages, money and other personal
property all over the state which es-
capes taxation, the sum total is enor-
nous. ia ~
What this stateIqneeds is man for
governor who has the nerve to call at
tention to this gross injustice and to
appoint state board of equalization
which will do its duty.
Gov. Nelsonfhas had an opportunity
to do this work and has failed. The
plain duty of the people is to vote for
S. M. Owen and give him chance to
do it. 1t is not question of politics,
but of business. It is question of
abstract justice to the taxpayers of
this state. If they neglect to do their
duty in the matter in the coming cleo
tion they will have no cause for future
complaint.

A GREAT VICTORY.

After one of the most remarkable
political contests ever witnessed, the
Democratic state convention of Ne
braska was carried for free silver by a
large majority. The following resolu-
tions were adopted:
We indorse the language used by John G

most gigantic crime of this or any other
age, and we agree with him that the con-
summation of such a scheme would ulti-

The convention Endorsed Judge Hol-
comb, the Peoples party candidate for
governor, and nominated Congress

against Mr.. Henderson, the present
incumbent. and who will, no doubt, be
the Republican candidate.
This is, indeed, great victory. 1t

SUGAR BOUNTY.

The bad faith Of the Democratic
party with the maple sugar growers of
Of Vermont had much to do with the
nprecedented. majority there. The
sugar makers of Vermont have 500, 900
due them as bounty for making sugar
under the law repealed by the Wilson
bill. The administration refuses to
honor the claim. The Nermonters
sWiped the administration on election
day and have now engaged ex-senator
Edmunds to sue the government for
what is due them.-Fergus Falls Jour-
nal.
The above is probably correct. When
the Mckinley bill was under considera-
tion in the senate Mr.. Edmunds, then
a senator from Vermont, refused to
vote for it unless it provided for a
bounty for the maple sugar makers of
Nermant. The concession had to be
made or the bill would have been in
danger of defeat. The repeal of the
sugar bounty feature in the new tariff
law means loss to the tree appers of
100000 per year, hence they vote the
Republican ticket. That amount of
money goes long ways in Vermont.

There are now two great and several
minor parties in the United States.
The great parties are the Republican
and Democrat. What are there prin-
ciples. their distinctive tenets, their
tendencies? That is what an EurOp-
can is always asking Of intelligent Re-
publicans and Democrats. He is al.
ways asking because he never gets an
answer. The replies leave him in deep
perplexity. After some months the
truth begins to dawn upon him.
Neither party has anything definite
to say on these issues; neither party
has any principles, any distinctive
tenets. Both have traditions. Both
have claims to have tendencies. Both
have certain war cries. organizations,
interests, enlisted in their support.
Both those interests are in the main
the interest of getting or keeping the
government. Tenets and policies,

RAINMAKING.
The Apparatus Used to Draw
Showers in the West.

The faith of prairie residents in the
modern Aquarius, the rainmaker. is
evidenced by the large sums received
from localities for trials of the unique
science. From 500 to$5O0 for five days
work is the ruling quotation for a
visit from the rainmaker and usually
even these amounts are not cOntin-
gent upon rain appearing. The mod
ern rainmaker has his apparatus on
wheels and his cars advent into a
prairie town is hailed with delight
and wonder. The Rock Island rail-
way has three cars operating in Kan
SaS and Nebraska constantly, and half
a score of independent aspirants foI
cloud ruling work in the same terri
tory.
When the rainmaker'S car is side
tracked at a prairie station and gets
ready to lombard the heavens it pre-
sents an odd appearance. On top of

| Ions of water. Through the roof pro-

In ore end of the car is the opera

| imposing array of bottles. jars, cleo.

The principle on which the work is
done is that of sending electrified
gases through the pipes. These being
lighter than air ascend with great
rapidity to an altitude of 4, 500 to 5000
feet where they are supposed to inter-
cept a current of moisture moving
from northeast to southwest and
turning cold, sink forming vacuum
into which are drawn the moisture
| laden air currents.

declare it as our solemn conviction
that our Joel is beginning at the
wrong end.
We desire TO point out to him that
the first requisite for the making of a
successful, an impressive and an elo-
quent speech is that the orator should
have something to say that is worth
saying. If public speaker is assured
that the subject on which he assumes
to instruct others is one with which
he himself is perfectly familiar, it is
surprising how little training he can
get along with. So far as we know
Demosthenes' only lessons in elo-
cution were those self-giving ones
when he roared back to the
breakers with his mouth full of peb-
bles, and Demosthenes would have
been quite we'll qualified, SO far as elo-
cutionary accomplishment are con-
cerned, for seat in the American

cultivate his brains first and his mouth

tation he enjoys is due to the fact that
he knows how on occasions to keep
