ii they could. This is shown by the
attempt few days ago to substitute
G. A. Pillsbury as the candidate of
Minneapolis. Mr.. Pillsbury is an in
finitely stronger man in this city than
Mr.. Washburn. He would make a
much better and more creditable sem
ator. The REPRESENTATIVE could
name scores of Republicans who are
so bitterly opposed to Mr.. Washburn
that they will vote the Peoples ticket
as the surest means of encompassing
his defeat.
Why should Mr.. Washburn be re-
elected? What has he done to help re-
move the burdens which Cypress the
people of this state? His principal
business has been to pass bills giving
various railroads the right-ofway
across the Chippewa reservation and
to secretly oppose the proposed fores-
try reserve in the interest of the Min
neapolis pine land ring In attending
to the private interests of big corpora
tions Mr.. Washburn is very active.
One day last week a judgment was
rendered in this city against the
Washburn-Crosby milling company, of
Minneapolis, and in favor of Elk
Speaker Lee, Of Long Prairie, Mimi,
in case of the Infringement of a
patent. Senator Washburn on We'd
nesday introduced bill in the senate
calculated to prevent the bringing of
G no
prompt action, indeed. If. when the
Chicago strike broke out, the senator
had promptly introduced resolution
for an Investigation into its causes he
might have made some claim to the
support of the common people of this
state. He did not do it, nor has he
ever done anything except to attend
to the private interests of corpora
tions since he has been in the senate.
He is corporation man himself. His
interests and associations are all with
corporations. His instincts are aristo-
cratic, his manners are naughty, and
his heart is cold. The people of this
state are going to retire him, no mat
ter whether the legislature is Repub-
lican or not. The cry of the Mime
apolis papers that this city should
stand by him is one so we'll calculated
to injure his chances that it is open to
the suspicion of being a covert stab.
The people in the country will be COM
PEELED to ask themselves the question
how Minneapolis came to have prior
lien on seat in the senate while St.
Paul holds down the other one. Are
there no interests in this state to con-
serve outside Of these overgroWn
cities? Have the country people no
longer right to representative in
the senate? These are the questions
which the silly course of the Mime
apolis daily papers has forced the peo-
pie of this state to ask themselves.
They will answer them by electing a
legislature which will be overwhelm-
ingly opposed to Mr.. Washburn, no
matter what party controls it.

Important Notice.

Willard J. Hull, of Buffalo, N. Y,
one OF the best orators and convincing
speakers that has ever visited this
state, has consented to come to Min
nesota about Sept. 20 and remain with
us till after election. The REPRE-
SENTATIVE is very DESTROYS that he
deliver at least one speech at every
important point in this state. He will
commence his campaign at Duluth.
Now let the friends of this movement
arrange for large meeting and cor
respond with us for dates and prices,
which are very reasonable. We wish
our friends at the following places
would arrange Immediately for one
speech: St. Cloud, Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Northfield, Faribault, Ovation
ma, Austin, Mankato.

WASHBURN,

The unanimity with which the Min
neapolis papers have recently come to
the rescue of Senator Washburn in his
campaign for re- eiection may lead
some people to think that he is very
strong man in this city. Exactly the
reverse Of this is true Mr.. Washburn
is an exceedingly unpopular man here.
If his case should be submitted to a
vote of the people he would be over
whelmingly defeated. Many even of
the leading and influential Republi
cans are opposed to his reelection. All
Of them. except very few like Post
master Hale, recognize the fact that
Mr.. Washburn is load which serious
" handicaps their local campaign.
They would unload him very quickly

ALARM ED.

j. j. Hills paper, the St. Paul Globe,
on Friday morning sent out this wild
alarm:
NO FUSION.
The talk of any possibility, or even
serious consideration of a union of the
Democratic and Populist parties in
Minnesota is preposterous and absurd.
The Democratic party is the party
of the people; the liberty-loving, law
abiding people.
Its principles demand the greatest
good for the greatest number.
1t stands for the rights of the masses
and against monopOlies.
Those who agree with it's views are
welcome to its ranks.
The Democratic party has doctrines
and principles of its own as old and
we'll established as the constitution
itself.
The Democratic party does not pro-
pose to abandon principle; to demeap
itself and disgrace its traditions by
rushing to the arms of mushroom, law
less, anarchial organizations.
The Democratic party puts country,
the home, prosperity, law and order
and the general happiness of the peo-
pie ahead Of clap-trap cOmbina tions
designed to destroy all of these ele-
ments.
Defeat, honorably combating for the
principles of good government, is not
to be feared
Success in such a contest is sure in
due time, and is liable to be so sur
prisingly near as to astOnish the most
skeptical.
A victory resulting from a union
with the mongrel anarchists would
mean the disintegra tion of the Demo-
cratic party, as well as deserved and
overwhelming disgrace.
The faction of the Democratic party
represented by j. J. Hill and the st.
Paul Globe stands for corporations and
monopoly. 1t stands for corruption in
the legislature. 1t stands for Knute
Nelson for governor in preference to
S. M. Owen. 1t denounced Debs as
murderer and the strikers at Pullman
as anarchists. The Globes treatment
of the strike was the most damnable
of any paper in the state. The policy
in that regard was dictated by J. J.
HILL who is it's real owner.
The question that now presents it,
self to the Democrats of Minnesota is,
does j. J. Hill own them? We will see
later on.

What's the matter with WaShburn?

What's the matter with Washburn?
Why all this hue and cry about defeat
ing him with Charley Pillsbury or
knute Nelson? What has the million
aire miller done to make him more
odious than the rest of the ring? Why
not make the charges known? Surely
bitter war is being made upon him
and the people ought to be informed of
the details st. Peter Herald.
Keep cool, Brother Johnson. The
REPRESENTATIVE will furnish a bill
of particulars in due season. Senator
Washburn's course in the forestry re-
serve alone is enough to damn him DO
litically, and it will do il. Keep cool.

poets no fusion between the Demo
Gratis and Populists this fall, and that
if there should be a fusion it would
practically mean the death of the

How to Remit.

We are overwhelmed with such
masses OF postage stamps, which we
can not sell or use, that we ask our
good friends, wherever possible, to re-
NIT In something else. TWENTY-FIVE
cent silver pieces, or fifty cent ones,

as safe as postal note. Of course ynen
Q friend has nothing handy but post
age stamps send them along.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-08-01

BY the way, why is there no talk of
fusion between Populists and Repub-
licans? Because it is felt that the Re-
publican party stands so radically for
good government, law, order, honest
money and patriotic methods, that
they could no more mix with the GRIM
inal tendencies of Populism than the
hosts of the Archangel Michael could
have fused with the forces of Satan
Minneapolis Tribune.
If the editor of the Tribune will
place his left ear close to the gruund
and listen intently he will hear some
thing rumbling up from Tennessee
which sounds very much like fusion
between the Peoples party and the
Republicans. Last year Senator Hoar
publicly expressed himself in favor of
such com binatiOn in all of the South
ern states.

Hints fer H0usekeers.

Incombustible paint for woodwork
may be made by mixing the desired
color in powder in water saturated
with potash, to which = little starch
paste and common clay has also been
added to stiffen it. Woodwork coated
with this paint will not burn nor
blister in the neighborhood of . stove
or gaslight.
A "po!ish" decidedly preferable to
varnish for furniture, may be made
by boiling q saturated solution of
potash in winter, and adding, while it
boils, pieces of beeswax. When cold,
this makes q mass OF the consistency
OF soft soap, which may be applied
with brush, and which, with brisk
rubbing. will give fine polish.
Much of the artistic iron work now
in use is held together by screws and
nuts. These are liable in time to be-
come loose, and it is we'll to know that
the joints may be made tight again
by simply hammering the nuts ON the
edge, which makes them smaller and
enables one to screw up the piece as
firmly a. At first.
Fleas may be driven away by
sprinkling camphor about in small
bits in the haunts OF the fleas.
Vanished furniture, mahogany or
rosewood, if kept busted, requires only
an occasional rubbing with chamois-
skin or thick flannel to retain its
polish perfectly. Soap should never
be used on vsrnish.
To remove lard grease spots from a
stovel After scraping off all that is
possible put few drops of kerosene
oil on q cloth and rub them off with
this.
For treating the ordinary pine board
floor to give it the attrsctiveness OF
"hard woods" wash the floor a few
times (until the color is satisfactory
with weak sulphuric acid applied with
= soft brush. Then oil and polish or
simply Fl nish with shellac.

An Ancient Pledge.

The following ancient temperance
pledge was sent to Lady Henry Som
erset by the late S. C. Hall, formerly
editor of The ART Journal. 1t is
printed in old English characters and
was found OH the blank leaf of q Bible
which has been transmitted from sire
to son through many generations. 1t
appears as the property of Robert
Bolton, B. d., preacher of Gods word
at Broughton, North amptonshire.
" From this daye forwarde to the
ende of my life, 1 will never pledge
any healthe or drink or carouse in q
glass, cup, bowie or other drinking
instrument, wheresoever it be, from
whomsoever it come, not to my own
most gracious kinge, nor any of the
greatest monarch or tyrant upon
earth, nor my dearest friend, nor all
the goulds in the world, shall ever
enforce me. Not angel from heaven
(who / know will not attempD shall
persuade, nor satan. with ali his
Guide subtleties, nor all the powers of
hell itself shall betray me. BY this
very SHINE QOr slime it is, and not q

my glorious Maker and most merciful
Saviour than all the other slime that
l am subject untoe, and for this very
SHINE it is my God hath often been
very strange untoe me, and for that

Christ to assist me in the same, and
be so favorable unto ME for what is
past. Amen."-R. Bolton, Broughton,

A MINE THAT SHUTS ITS MOUTH.
One OF the Most Remarkable Natural
Wonders of Montana.
Omaha Bee.

| Omaha Bee.
Reference to the natural wonders Of
Montana, particularly the chicken
broth and bichloride springs, brings
to light others of equal magnitude.
Colonel John Doyle's wonderful vine
gar mine in Beaverhead county passes
the domain OF doubt into the sunlight
OF truth. 1t is backed by crisp allidav-
its, and atiidavits cost ST. each in Mon
tans. The Colonel and his partners
did not confine themselves to vinegar.
They discovered mountain of pure
alum in the Beaverhead range.
The discovery was considered ten
strike and better than q gold mine.
They kept the find a secret for several
weeks, during which shaft was sunk
to the depth OF 200 feet. The cut was
made all the way through solid vein
of alum, and it was estimated that the
whole mountain was composed of it.
A large pile of stuff was heaped near
the mine ready for shipment, and the
miners had scheme to flood the mar
ket with their product and rake in
81 100000 at one fell swoop. Monday
the COloneps partner went to town to
lay in supply OF grub and the former
remained behind to guard the treas
ure.
During the morning heavy rain
began to fall and continued all day,
and in the afternoon the colonel had
occasion to 60 down into the mine,
making the descent by sliding down
the rope. and when once down at the
bottom was 90 taken up with con-
temptation of his novel and wonderful
mine that he did not heed the feeting
hours until he happened to cast his
eyes upward and saw that daylight
had faded from the mouth of the shaft.
He started to climb upward, but had
not proceeded more than half way
when, 10 his horror, he discovered that
the heavy fall of rain had 80 thorough.
ly saturated the alum sides OF the
shaft that, as q natural result, they
had drawn together until the hole was
scarcely large enough for man to
crawl through.
The imprisoned man recognized his
awful position, and without losing
much time struggled toward the top
OF the shaft. Every foot he advanced
the shaft became smaller, and for the
last ten feet he was compelled to dig
bis way with q pocketknife, and when
he finally reached the surface he Was
completely exhausted, his clothes were
torn and his body badly bruised. The
rain, which was still falling. soon re-
vived the colonel, and he started
toward the camp to meet his partner,
to whom he related his marvellous ex-
perience.
Together they started to their mine,
or at least tried to, for although they
searched for two days they were un-
able to find any sight OF their late pos
sessions. The rain had undoubtedly
thoroughly and tightly closed up the
discovery shaft and mel.ei1: away every
sign of the alum piled on the outside,
80 that to this time it has been i'm.
possible to find any trace of the mine.
