POPULISTS IN EVIDENCE.

1t is quite in keeping with the pro-
gress of the agitation for silver mon
ometallism in this country that the
convention in Georgia, addressed by
Senator Morgan and claiming to rep
resent at least a portion of the DEM
ocratic party in that state, should
be made up largely of Populists. 1t
is also a fact which the Democrat
Who is staunch in his devotion to
his party should bear in mind every
where. 1t is the Populist in whose
interest this movement is started
and carried forward. 1t is the Peo-
pies party alone that will get any
advantage out of it. If Democrats
are short-sighted enough to play into
the hands Of the third party organi-
zation, they will have to take the
consequences.
The circumstances attending the
election of delegates to the Griffin
convention are worthy of more than
passing attention. In no state in
the South have the advocates of free
silver been more active or appeared
to have a stronger popular feeling
with them than in Georgia. They
have the principal newspaper of the
state, the Atlanta Constitution,
which has simply gone daft over
free coinage. Speaker Crisp de-
clared himself on that side some
time ago, and ex-senator Walsh and
other prominent men joined in the
movement. Yet with this support,
the local conventions which chose
delegates to the state convention
were even more of farce than those
held in Illinois under the direction
only a few persons appeared, and
these were generally Populists. The
state convention iself is rather a
Populist than a Democratic body.
The Peoples party representatives
have taken the leading part, and
Democrats were so far in the minor
ity that they felt themselves obliged
to protest against Populists having
control Of it's proceedings. The
presence Of Senator Morgan, who has
| made the great blundeE of lending
himself to what is really a Peoples
party movement, could not conceal
this fact.
Nothing ought to do more, or will
we believe, be more effective in
checking any tendency of Democrats
to commit the party to the free sill
yer movement than the strong proof
furnished in every state that they
are simply lending aid and comfort
to the Peoples party. Where they
convince men that free coinage
should be adopted, such proselytes
are on the highway to Populism.
| They may, perhaps, cast a single
Democratic vote, although that is
not the usual custom, but they in.
| evitably land in the Peoples party.
1t can offer them, not only free sill
yer, but unlimited issues of paper
| money; and when a man has once
surrendered his judgment to the
principles of fiatism in finance, there
is no reason why he should not at
tach himself to the organization that
tempts him with the largest bride.
The G / b e has endeavored repeat
edly to enforce the lesson that DEM
| ocrats who countenance the free sill
yer theory are tearing down their
party with their own hands. En-
tirely irrespective of the right and
wrong Of it, and entirely apart from
| the lessons of sound finance, it is
the worst kind of party folly. This
| Georgian convention will do nothing
except to give the Peoples party a

Baker Coming to St. Paul.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Lewis
Baker, minister to Nicaragua, Costa
RIGA and San Salvador, was a caller
at the state department today, accom-
panied by his son, John f. Baker.
Minister Baker is of the opinion that
the Nicaraguan canal is a most feasible
and desirable undertaking and that its
construction would vastly increase our
trade with China, Japan, Australia and
all regions of the Pacific. Mr.. Baker
will not go to Buzzard's Bay to call
on President Cleveland or Secretary
Olney, but he thinks that the secretary
will return to Washington before he
leaves for Central America. The only
change that has taken place in the
personal appearance of the exist. Paul
editor is that he is considerably tanned
bv tropical suns and has allowed his
mustache to grow in the true Spanish
StYle.

1t has been supposed that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was of unauthorized
American descent. An incident re-
ported in the Chicago Times-Herald
puts this in doubt. 1t is a we'll
known popularity that persons of a
foreign nativity, who have mastered
our language and use it in ordinary
conversation, when they become eX-
cited, break out into their mother
tongue. Senator Hill wrote letter
recently anent the action of Commits
sioner Roosevelt in closing New
York's saloons on Sunday in which
he referred to the "busybody and
Notwithstanding commissioner"
When Mr.. Roosevelt read this, the
correspondent of the TIL. says,
there came into his eye a wrathful
glimmer and he said: "Philqa WV
seopMge COAublici E T A OES."
This clearly indicates Mr.. Roose-
velt's nativity as foreign, though to
what tribe he belonged our linguistic
editor is unable to decipher from
the words.

occasion to observe that ''the in
genuity developed in the constant
and persistent attacks on the pub
lie treasury by those claiming pen
sions, and the increase of those al
ready granted, is exhibited in bold
relief by this attempt to include
sore eyes among the results Of
diarrhoea," and concluded that Mr..
Farris should content himself with
the pension he was receiving. Nat
urally enough Mr.. Farris deemed
himself an aggrieved person, and is
of the opinion that whatever the
president proposes should be OPP
posed. So he has bestirred himself,
in spite of his physical disabilities,
to get the Democrats of Missouri to
initiate the Gadarene swine.

A FELLOW FEELING

The cases against the ex-treasur-
ers of Wisconsin, to recover the in
terest money on deposits of the pub
lie funds which was pocketed by
them, have come to a termination
in the decision Of the attorney gen.
eral not to contest the act of the
last legislature, which directed a
discontinuance of further proceed
1ngs and a satisfaction of the judg-
ments obtained. The leniency of
the Republican administration is
thus put in striking contrast with
the strictness of it's Democratic
predecessor. The administration of
Gov. Peck began and prosecuted the
suits against these delinquent Off
GERS who had thus made large
profits out Of the public. Some
of these judgments were collected
and put into the treasury, and
suits We're brought against others,
going back as far as the incum-
bency of Ferdinand Kuehn, a Demo-
crat, and Henry Baetz, his Repub-
lican successor. Against Kuehn a
judgment was recovered for $685.
1853, and against Baetz for
$75,4OS. These judgments with
one of $4,000 against McFet-
ridge, recovered by the DEM
ocratic administration, the Repub-
lican legislature kindly and SYM
pathetically RENTED.
How profitable it was to those
treasurers to receive and pocket the
interest on the public funds, which
the courts have held belonged to the
public, is shown by the figures given.
Mr.. Kuehn, if our memory serves
us, served two years, and Treasurer
Baetz four years, on salaries of but
thousand dollars. The next move,
if the same party is in control of
the state, will no doubt be to re-
fund to HartShaW, and all treas
urers who have settled the judgments
obtained against them, the amount
paid by them. Certainly if the re-
mission of the judgments against
some is just, fairness requires the
refunding of the money obtained
from the others.

NO EVADING THE LAW.
SpOOner's Opinion Regarding
That Railway Combine.

NEW YORK, July ia German
commercial paper says that last Fri
day ex-senator Spooner, of Milwau-
kee, had a conversation in st. Paul
with President Hill, of the Great North
ern. Mr.. Hill told Senator Spooner of
his plans for the future relations be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, saying that he had not given
them up. Senator Spooner told Mr..
Hill that there was no way to get
around the Minnesota laws, and fur
thermore that public opinion would be
very strong aginst special legislation
or a repeal of the existing law. In ad-
dition Senator Spooner said that the
difficulties in the case of Montana,
Idaho and Dakota were just the same
as in Minnesota. Senator Spooner
was counsel for the Adams committee
and for the Northern Pacific receivers
in the recent law cases. Senator Spoon
ers interests are supposed to be con-
nected with those that are opposed to
the proposed union.

FINDLAY, O., July 19.-For five
minutes this afternoon this city was
swept by a terrific storm of rain,
wind and hail. Hundreds of shade
trees and fruit trees We're blown
down, blockading the streets in
many places. The tower of the
First Methodist church was blown
down, as was the bell tower of the
central fire station. Part of the
steeple of the First Lutheran church
is also down. Several barns were
unroofed and shifted on their foun-
dations, and a dozen buggies were
blown over. Nearly every awning
in town was blown away, and a
number of plate glass fronts were
wrecked. The Globe and Chimney
Glass factory was also unroofed.

CONFLICTING REPORTS

The actual condition of affairs in
the Northwest with regard to the
need of harvest hands is somewhat
confused by conflicting reports from
different sections. Letters have been
received by the mayor of st. Paul
and by the G e, stating the
urgent need of more farm help if the
splendid crop of this year is to be
harvested without loss. Some of
these put the estimate of men re-
CURED high in the thousands, so
that if strong effort is not made
much grain will be wasted. Other
letters have been received by the
mayor and by the Globe which
not only take exactly the opposite
ground, but protest vociferously
against what the writer's claim to
be an imposition on laboring men.
These state that the country is al
ready full Of men seeking work at
low wages, and that to send any
more at present is to subject them to
disappointment and loss.
1t is not difficult to reconcile these
differing opinions, assuming them
both to be honestly based upon their
writer's views of the situation. Diff
ferent conditions exist in different
parts of the Northwest. In some
the harvest is already we'll under
way, and farmers are shorthanded.
In others the grain will not be ready
to begin cutting for two weeks at
least, and in the meantime there is
no demand for employees. The truth
is, as we take it, that there will be
plenty of work from this time on
until cold weather begins for every
unemployed man in this part of
the country. There is a big crop to
be harvested, and it will need all
our surplus labor to take proper
care of it. The railroad companies
and the employment agencies are
pretty conversant with the needs
of the country, and are engaged
actively in placing labor where it is
wanted.
We wish to repeat once more with
emphasis that the most desirable
arrangement for keeping the supply
of farm labor in the Northwest equal
to, and not in excess of, the de-
mand, is a more systematic organ
ization among the farmers them
selves. In no other way can their
wants be made known to the public.
There ought to be in each county,
at least, and in each township, if
possible, some sort of organization
acting under the direction of the
farmers, to which could be sent early
| in the season an estimate of the
amount of help wanted, and from
which labor might be obtained. The
sort of hit-or-miss adjustment that
now governs either leaves the farm
er unable to obtain men that he
over-run with lot of unfortunate
seekers after labor when none is to
be found. City labor is so we'll or
! gained that a competent man can
! find the place where he will fit, if
| there is such; and if not, he is able
to ascertain it, and look elsewhere
| Country labor cannot be organized
as completely, but enough can be
done to adjust supply and demand
| far better to the satisfaction of
| both parties than is possible under
the system of guessing at the need
of farm help according to scattering
and not always reliable, reports OF
| the situation.
