of campaigning that can be adopted,
to arouse the people to realize the en-
croachments Of tyranny, will be to or
ganize a band of say go to Is men;
have singers, reciters and speakers, a
fife and drum; uniform them in some
inexpensive coat and cap, get tent
that will hold 500 people, charge 10
cents for admission and sell reform
literature, and by this means pay ex-
penses.-Coming Nation.

The Force Of Public Opinion.

1t has reached even the Supreme
Court of the United States:
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE SUI
preme court has rendered an opinion
to-day that will stand as most I'M
portant precedent in American juris-
prudence 1t is all the more import
ant because there are four justices
dissenting to five in favor. The case
is that of the famous Brass Elevator
company, of North Dakota. Justice
Shiras, who filed the majority opinion,
holds that state has full power to
regulate the storing and insuring of
grain. by persons owning and operat-
ing elevators. Brass refused to store
a farmers grain and it was held by
the state courts that Brass was liable.
The case then came to the supreme
court on writ of error. Eleva tor
companies in Illinois and other states
have always been victorious in legal
conflicts and have enjoyed the right of
fixing storage rates. This decision
completely overturns all established
rules and marks an innovation. JUS
tice Brewer files a dissenting opinion
and takes decidedly different grounds
from Shiras. He holds that Brass was
conducting private business and
should be permitted to say whether or
not he would use his elevator for stor-

IMPORTANT.

A friend reminds us that there are
four district judges to be elected this
fall in the Fourth judicial district, and
that the Populists should be consider.
ing the question of candidates. It is
very important that the Judges be
men who are not tools of the rings and
corporations, but who will hold the
scales of justice equally between liti-
giants. Our correspondent suggests
Hon. David Cochran, of Wright coun-
ty, for one of these jndgeships. Mr..
Cochran, he says, was formerly a
Democrat; and, as such, was years
ago elected Judge of Probate of
wright county, when the Republicans
had 500 majority in the county. He
was in West Virginia, during the last
election and was one of the Weaver
electors. He is now chairman of the
Peoples Party county committee of
Wright county: an able, honest man
a good organizer, and would add great
strength to the ticket.
Our friends in the Fourth judicial
district, which consists of Anoka,
Hennepin, Isanti and Wright coun-
ties, should look this thing up. If
there is no Populist judicial commit
tee in the district let the chairman Of
our State Central Committee, Mr..
Thomas j. Meighen, of Forestville,
Mimi, issue the call.

The Difference.

eff have the stuff to sell l can get
the money" OF course you can, but
it takes more days labor or the things
you raise or create by that labor to get
the same number of dollars than it
used to. 1t takes more bushels of
wheat or corn or oats or pounds of
meat to pay your taxes or ride on the
railroad or to buy nearly every article
controlled by the monopolies than it
used to, and there is no denying the
fact that the debts you owed did not
shrink in the same proportion as the
prices of your labor. You think you
are freemen, but you can not put the
price on single article that you raise
the monopolists do that for you and
put the price on what they have that
you have to have. You are free to
buy or not, but if you do not buy of
them you have to starve and they
know it. In preference to starving
you walk up and pay their price. o.
yes! you are SO very free! You should
get a patent on such freedom. You
are free to live on just such terms as
the monopollstS give you and no other.
The cars subjects have that much
freedom.-The Coming Nation.
There is however, this difference.
The Russian knows he is the HELPLESS
subject of an absolute despotism. The
American fool wears a feather in his
hat, and a grin on his inane counte
nance, and thinks he is a self-governing
freeman! And he laughs at the Popu-
list, and calls him "a crank" And
two hundred of them, squelched to-
gether, have not brains enough to
make dinner for sick dog. I'D.
