FROM OUR REG ULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 4th, 1894.
There is no longer any doubt that
the published charges concerning the
speculation of Senators IN sugar stock
we're based upon correct information.
One Senator has acknowledged the
corn, pleading extenuating circumstan-
ces, and if one did, it is probable that
more did. In fact, Senator Hill init
mated very strongly. IN his speech in
favor Of public sittings OF the investi-
eating committee, his belief that other
Senators had speculated. Senator Nc.
Pherson, of N. j., ls the man who &C
knowledges haying made 81 500 by spec
nlatlng 10 sugar stock, the extenuating
circumstances being that he sold the
stock as coon as he realized the impro-
priety Of his acton, when he might
have made much larger profits by
haying held onto it while longer. The
testimony of the man who is claimed to
haye said that he overheard q conyer-
sation between members of the sugar
trust aid prominent Senators. CONCERN
ing the sugar schedule of the tariff bill,
is to be taken this week. 1t is expected
also that the grand jury, now in session
will act upon the cases of the newspaper
correspondents who have refused to
betray confidence reposed in them.
No agreement has been reached az to
when the Senate will vote on the tariff
bill, but the fact that the democratic

The New Orleans Picayune publishes
some interesting figures showing the
phenomenal development in progress
IN Southwest Louisiana, which may
be defined to comprise that portion Of
the State lying west Of Vermlllion river
and south of the line of 30A north lati-
tude. This region did not come into
public notice until 1884, when it begin
to receive considerable immigration
from Iowa and other Northwestern
States. Since then it's Development
has been upon an enormous scale.
Some figures of the rice production will
illustrate this. They are taken from a
publication made by resident of CAL
casieu parish, in which it is shown that
in 1884 one rice harvesting, reaper and
binder machine was in use in the coun.
try there. In 1885 there were 5 in
1886 the number was 50; in 1887 200;
In 1888, 400; in 1890, 1000; in 1891,
1000; in 1892 there were 5000 of these
harvesting machines in use. The South.
err Pacific Rriroad in 1884 shipped
out Of that region $50 cars Of rice. In
1889 there were over 1900 cars of rice
carried. In 1890 there were 1000 cars;
In 1891. 5000 cars in 1853, 10000
cars of rice.

It was contended by physician at
the Medical Congress in Washington
last week that children breathe in more
microbes than grown persons do, for
the reason that chlldren's mouths are
only two or three feet above the ground.
Sewer gas and the e1halations from
miasmatic earth therefore affect the
young first and their seniors afterward.
The bad air of cellars and of swampy
localities loaded with putrescent matter
is to be avoided. As general rule it
is better to sleep upstairs than on the
ground floor, and the attic is not to be
despised as a health resort.

OUR FORUM.

It is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford a 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 fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their lette RS
brief and to the point; not to ex-
ceed one-quarter of 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.

Our Correspondence.

We are very proud Of our cores
pondence. 1t demonstrates what an
intelligent movement our is; and it
shows that this paper is the center
of it. There is scarcely letter sent
us that does not contain valuable
facts or suggestions. But lately the
report of the proceedings of the state
alliance has so filled our columns,
that the correspondence has been
crowded out; and it has accumulated
at such rate that we are buried un-
der it. 1t frightens us to look at it.
Therefore the clear the decks, we
push aside for little while deal of
interesting matter and devote great
part of our space to our correspond
ence. We have reason to hope that
we will soon be able to greatly i'm
prove our paper, and have more space
for the valuable letters sent us from
all parts of the state. We do not
propose to stop until we have made
this the best reform paper in the
United States.

Issuing Bonds.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE:
I could scarcely believe my eyes
when l first read the proposition
about issuing more United States
| bonds
About thirty years ago the civil war
commenced. In order to carry it on
the government had to run into debt.
But certainly no one regarded the
debt as a. blessing. 1t was excused
only on account of the dire
necessity at the time. When the
war was over the work of paying the
debt was commenced. It was, per-
haps, because I was young and fool
ish that it puzzled me greatly why
the debt had not to be paid as quick
as the country was able to. But I
confess / am no wiser yet. Still, the
debt was being paid, although slowly.
But now, in a time of profound
peace, and only year after the time
when the republicans rent the heav-
ems with their cries about the pros
perity of the United States, our
statesmen (?) talk about issuing
bonds!
Issue bonds!
How nicely they put it! Why not
say: borrow money and increase the
debt of the United States?
Issue bonds!
| This elegance of language reminds
me of the fastidiousness of the Eng
glish aristocracy, when they said that
Lord Castlereagh "cut the carotid
artery" instead of saying that he
committed suicide!

Judgement in the executive ear. and
because they dared to raise their
voices in behalf of the poor they are
to be crowned as "calamity howlers''
and dangerous fanatics" and cloth
ed with vile approbrium paid out by
the venal press. He who says we
are not in the midst Of great social
and industrial revolution is ignorant
whereof he speaks. Tremendous
conditions are at work in the civil
lized world. and this Republic is
being tossed on the wave of popular
discomfort as never before. These
mighty agencies of right will either
rescue the industrial classes from the
NAV of increasing debt, or the greed
and avarice of mankind will destroy
what we have of liberty, and civiliza-
tlon will be sent whirling back IN
to the darkness of ages past when
for fifteen hundred years humanity
wandered about without a ray of
hope. This era of the human race is
the most active of all, and America,
having a taste of real liberty, has
been the theater of the greatest rev.
olution in human history, and has
scattered the seeds Of freedom along
the pathway of the entire human
family. Human slavery has passed
away because of this sentiment, and
it's fruits are multiplying as human
ity moves forward. Garrison and
Philips we're mobbed, stoned and
bounded from place to place because
they condemned human slavery, yet
they lived to see the triumphant cul-
minatiOn of a life work, and old John
Brown (God bless his memory gave
his life for principle that for thirty
three years since then has been
marching grandly on. They each
in their time were called "cranks"
and fanatics" they were advocates
of Gods law of equality in all things.
Pennoyer, Waite, and Lewelling are
fighting for human rights and equal
privileges; yet the voices of Ignorance,
hate and envy are hurting anathe-
mas at them because they are teach
ing the lesson that Mentor impressed
on Telemachus: cit is not the splen-
dor of the cities, but the productive
ness of the fields that constitutes the
greatness of a nation," not the opu-
lence of it's palaces, but the comforts
of it's homes. These criticisms may
be unpleasant, but the star of hope
appears on the mountain top, and
this nation will yet vindicate them.
They can afford to wait.

leaders Of the alliance, secret part
ners of the cordage company in the
alliance, who are pushing the sales of
the cordage trust twine. The treach-
cry Of the Great West, and Fish and
Frain, against this state prison
twine, is one of the main causes of
the decadence of the state alliance.
Blue Earth county, has sent two
petitions to the governor, asking
him to see that the prison twine is
sold for cents for this year.
In the month of June, 1898, we
called a meeting and formed COM
mittee, and secured a carload of pris-
on twine, 10000 pounds at cents per
pound. We secured $1,000 for the
carload. We added one-fourth of a
cent for expense and freight. After
paying the freight there was % dol
lars left for expenses for committee
of five men. We spent some four or
five days in securing subscriptions
and handling the twine to the farm
ers as they came for it. In one day
we handled it nearly all, the farm
ers who subscribed for it acted with
such promtness. The transaction
with the prison board in shipping
the twine to us, and all in separate
lots, at the same price e cents per
pound), was very satisfactory. The
warden and board are our friends.
sent for one hundred pounds; it was
late; the warden sent this one hun
dred by express; it cost 81 per hun
dred. l had asked him to send it by
freight. l informed the warden that
the men objected to this. He direct
ed me to send him $1,000 cents
was the freight on car, Zone dollar by
expressly; you see how fair the war
den was with us. The committee has
voted to use prison twine this COM
ing summer. AS this twine plant is
the work of the farmers alliance, we
hope the governor will make one-half
the prison board farmers.
