All! NOW YOU HAVE 1T.

We have been preaching for some time
that the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany should be treated just like bank
rupt individual-sold out. Why should
the power of the government be invoked
to keep alive through receivers-that boz
gus capitalization of $4,000 mile, when
the road could have been easily built for
$4,000 mile, and why should the people
thus be forced to pay, for generations,
by high charges on freight and travel,
the interest on $4,000 a mile of capital
that never had any real existence? And
now we read:
Fargo, N. D., Nov. IAN important
railroad case came up for hearing before
Judge Thomas In this city yesterday. 1t
was entitled Robert A. Bell, Edward J..
Conaty, Administrator, ct al, VS.. Receiv-
ers Bigelow and McHenry, Of the North

cation for an order directing the receiv-
ers to pay the judgments due them, and,
if not paid, to allow them to levy execu-
tons on and sell the property. The or
der was granted, and 60 days was al
lowed the receivers in which to pay the
judgments. Tracy Bangs, of Grand
Forks and S. L. Glasspell of jamestown,

country the whole population will rise
up and put them down;-but just now the

deadly peril from plutocracy than from

DESPOTISM.

Omaha, Nov. 13.-The growth Of the
beet sugar industry in this state has at
tracted the attention Of the sugar trust,
which has already taken steps to prevent
the sale Of Nebraska sugar. Jobbers
and dealers have been notified that if
they sell the refined product Of Nebraska
factories the trust will decline to sell
them the cheaper grades, which are not
manufactured by the Oxnards.
The result of this inhibition is that
over 100000 worth of Nebraska made
sugar is stored in warehouses in Omaha
The matter has been laid before the Man.
ufacturers and Consumers association,
and efforts are being made to get western
jobbers to agree to handle the Nebraska
product regardless of consequences
There is a strong home patronage senti-
ment in the state, which will, it is said,
favor the Nebraska suger maker in the
fight.
1t is estimated that the years output Of
the Grand Island and Norfolk sugar fac
tories will reach, If not exceed, value
of $500, 900, or nearly one-third of the
total consumed in the state.
Isn't it pretty state Of things when
a Trust undertakes to destroy the in
dustry of whole state, and the national
government, with an an antitrust law,
never raises finger to protect the people
or punish the scoundrels? What is gov
eminent for? To help robbers?

AN UNJUST CHARGE.

A St. Paul lawyer has been examin-
ing our cartoon of last week, repre-
senting the way in which the farmers
corn stalk is picked clean, and he says
he recognizes the face of the "Rail-
road Magnate" as that of Judge
Chandler of the Milwaukee railroad
company. He says anybody would
know that animal under-lip and that
look of beastly intelligence about the
eyes"
We repudiate any such unjust in
Situations. The Judge is nice, hand
some, old gentleman. His white hairs
testify to we'll spent life. No one
doubts his virtue. He would just as
soon make love to the hired girl as
bride a legislator. When he dies the
imps of hell will squeal with rage to
see him translated bodily to heaven,
with a cigar In his mouth and q halo
around his head as big as dish-pan.

Our readers can see how near the agen-
cies of the plutocrats come to telling the
truth. 1t is shrewd game. The people
of the whole nation read that dispatch,
the morning after the election, and be-
lieved that the "Populists of Kansas did
not carry a single county," and they be-
lieve it to this day, and will to the ends
of their lives. DULY those who are sub
scribers to Populist papers ever learn the
facts.
Is it not shameful that the machinery
of the public press should be used to per-
petuate such hellish frauds upon their
readers?
And how earnestly should our friends
push the circulation of the Peoples Party
papers, and thus relieve the masses of the
mental slavery in which they now dwell ?
How great must be the robberies Of the
people when such devilish enginery is
used to keep the multitude in darkness?

THE BANE AND ANTIDOTE.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE seventh an
nual meeting of the needleworkers guild
of this city was held today and was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Justice Harlan. The
purpose of the guild is to furnish and dis
tribute garments to the poor and needy.
About 800 garments were distributed to-
day from 200 members. Mrs. Cleveland
was asked some time ago to become the
honorary president Of the guild. She de-
clined the honor, but consented to become
director. The directors pledged them
selves to secure ten members each, and
Mrs. Cleveland has not only secured ten
members for the guild, but has taken
sufficient interest In the work to see that
members contributed their garments
each year.
This is all very pretty, and Mrs. Cleve-
land is gentle, good woman. But what

said. It is the curse Of all new move

WE'LL SAID.
GOV. ALTGELD OF ILLINOIS.

GOV. ALTGELD OF ILLINOIS.
Gov. Altgeld is great man. Every
utterance of his bespeaks it. Here is
is his reply,at the Atlanta Exposition,
on behalf of the great delegation from
Illinois, to the words of welcome from
the people Of the South:
"Our people have come upon a mis-
sion of good fellowship. The people
Of the South have invited US within
their gates and we have accepted their
invitation. They have held out q
friendly hand and we have come down
to shake it. Our people think that
the time has come when rivers should
no longer be dividing lines between
civilizations. or between different peo-
pies in this country: that whether a
man stands upon the north bank or
the south bank of the Ohio he should
be surrounded by the same institu-
tions and the same civilization and
the same spirit; that not only should
the citizens of this entire republic
stand under one flag, but that they
should be actuated by the same mo-
tiyes and the same high aim and
struggle toward the same end. Our
people are imbued with the idea that
this continent should he inhabited by
q great, Intelligent, libe, ty-lorinG Justice
loring, l0ac-abiding brotherhood OF men.
That is tine spirit that has brought our
people into your midst, and they will
more than reciprocate your every act
Of friendship and your every ex-
preston of fraternal sentiment. And
as opportunity offers they will make
every Southern man feel that there is
welcome for him in the country by
the great lakes"
This is better basis to build ma
ton on than lot of sordid, greedy,
Unsuitable money-grab bers, with no
thought above stealing the fruits Of
other mems industry.
And yet no man has been more hor-
ribly abused than Gov. Altgeld by the
daily press of this country-simply be-
cause he pardoned the anarchists of
Chicago;-when it was proventhat one
man selected all the jurymen, and de-
