IN THE LEGISLATURE,

The various banking and railroad
measures in each house has been the
occasion of drawing to st. Paul very
powerful following Of these interests
presumably seeking to prevent their
passage or destroy their usef illness.
H. Il. Cory, the old time habitue
Of the lobby is as usual on deck but it
cannot be definitely stated for what
railroad or other interest he is work
ing as missionary.
1t is believed the bankers of Mime
apoliS and the state are moving
Heaven and Earth to try and destroy
any effect OF the Feig resolution to en-
Quire into the management of the
public funds.
+ daylight is ever let in on this SUBJ
ject it will show state Of affairs as
black as darkness itself and some
prominent men may want to emf
CRATE, unless Iribery or undue influ-
ence of the very worst kind is brought
to bear, and the writer has faith that
this cannot be successfully accomp-
lished on the present committee.
There are several banks and So
called financial concerns in the Twin
Cities that are on the ragged edge of
financial ruin, and it is doubtful
whether there are very many that
would dare publish a statement of the
results of an investigation made by
an impartial and honest expert. The
so-called bankers grit their teeth and
are mad when bills are presented that
are patterned simply from other

states, when if they had a grain of in
tegrity or common sense they would
take hold and aid in the passage Of
such measures; but as by their actions
1T seems many are devoid of both
these qualities, this would perhaps be
expecting too much.
The House and Senate have passed
the bill making Lincoln's birthday a
holiday and it is now the law.
The House has also passed the
old Workman bill of two years ago.
The following is resume Of part
of the proceedings of the past week.

ket bill'' prohibiting chambers from
making rules as to what charge or
commission any member may make.
Mr.. Sampson also introduced a bill
of over twenty sections amending the
banking laws Of this state and pat
termed after the laws of California
and the United States. The daily pa
pcrs generally attribute the bill to
John Ii. Burke. 1t is everything and
comprises the features of some twenty
bills in both houses
An Their important bill was one to
give threshers and labOrerS lien on
crops.
A bill to appropriate money for seed

ing the capitol.
Argyle Times. Hon. 10. Cronkhite
came up from St. Paul last Friday
evening. J. Q. is looking fat and
hearty and feels quite sanguine over
the prospect of the passage of his
drainage bill. That he is recognized
as an able, active worker, is apparent
from the brief comments given him by
the Twin City press. The Call, in a
recent issue said: Senator Cronk-
hite, of Marshall county, in converse
tion with Call reporter yesterday
spoke in enthusias tic terms of his pet
measure, senate file No. s, which has
reference to tine drainage of lands in
the Red River Valley. He has been
most active in urging the measure.
Senator CrOnkhte is one of the most
energetic members of the senate and
he is pushing the measure with all the
force he can command, and his efforts
are deserving of the fullest recogni-
ton"
Battle Lake Review: 1t may be true
that our present capitol building is not
convenient, is lily ventilated and
lighted. but for all that there will be
found, for the next ten years, plenty
of good, capable men who will be will
ing to hold down any state Ctfice in the
same old stand The present senate
and representative halls are not the
best, but there are plenty of men who
are willing to risk it, at least one ses-
sion. Right here in Otter Tail coun-
ty, out OF 6,640 votes, 6,6OO would take
the job if offered, and the balance
don't know what they are here for.
No, we don't want a new capitol, and
i our legislators are cajoled into pass
ing an appropriation for it our Uncle
David will do we'll by giving it his dis
approval.

A CHANCE
10 Secure Good Peoples Party
Paper.

A young gentleman who has been
publishing Populist paper in an I'M
progressive little town in Minnesota
wants to get into a liyelier and more
progressive location. He writes us:
DEAR SIR:-Can you not tell me Of
some place where / can do something
with my paper? | have been here
now more than four months, with no
means of escape. | have good plant,
capable of printing good paper. In
fact L can print a paper with little or
no expense, but | have not made
enough out of my venture here to pay
the postage | have spent. l would
like to get into some southern Mime
sofa town, a county seat town, where

an encumbrance on others, l do not
not ask you to go out Of your way to
help me, only if you know of any place
that you will advise me of it"

KILLED 1T.

Springer's bill to authorize the issue
of $500, 10000 of gold bonds, in pursu-
ance Of the recommendation of the
President, was defeated in the House
on Thursday last by vote Of ISL to
l34. Messrs. Hall, Kiefer, Fletcher
and Baldwin voted for the bill, and
Messrs. Tawney. McCleary and Boon
voted against it.
The House in this case has done the
country great service. Its action
ends all hope of the passage of finan-
cial bill by this congress. The President
will now, no doubt, proceed to issue
bonds under existing acts. What Con-
gress should do is to repeal those laws
and deprive Cleveland of any shadow
of authority to saddle more debts on
the cOuutry

To Hdv6rtlS6rS.

The REPRESENTATIVE, which
was established less than two
years ago, has become the leading
reform paper Of this country and
is easily preferred among men,
+ bers CT the Peoples party. In
thousands of families it is the
only paper taken. Ours subscribers
read the advertisements with a
kindly feeling toward those who
have placed them IN their favorite
paper, and letters to this office
tell Of splendid results which adj
vertisers have obtained thus
pointing the way for others who
are really anxious to reach buyers.
Very many Populists are farm
ers. and almost to man they are
thinking men Of principle and
substance, whose families buy the
most goods in this part of the
country. They polled more than
last election and over SIX THOUs-
AND are regular paying subscrlb-
ers of the REPRESENTATIVE.
Our subscription list is growing,
and to fOreStall objections that
may be urged to very probable
increase Of advertising rates, we
urgently solici. advertisers to con-
tract at once for space they may
use to their very great advantage.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is Il blood or constitutional dis
case, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrl Cure is taken internally. and
acts directly on the blood and mucuous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quacH medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one OF the best physicians in this coun-
try for years and is regular prescrip-
ton. 1t is composed OF the best ton
les known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucuous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testi-

New England Man for Silver.

Nashua, n. H., Feb. 7.-Cyrus A.
Silloway, who was elected as Repub-
lican to the next house of representa-
tives as the successor of Henry w.
Blair, has come out for silver. He en-
joys the distinction of being the only
member of the New England delega-
ton who has yet taken a stand OPP
posed to the prevailing currency creed
Of the East. Mr.. Silloway was nomi-
mated and elected last fall, it is said,
against the wishes of Senator Chand-
Ter He is opposed to foreign loan
and thinks that Europe's envy of our
natural wealth Of precious metals is
the cause Of the present trouble.

How the Panic Came,

Duluth Comm onwealth.
1t happened this way. The associ-
ated banks of New York foresaw that
unless congress did thus and so by a
week from next Thursday, nothing
under heaven could prevent panic
They sent word to their country Gus
toners of the pending danger.
In spite OF warnings from business
men in all sections congress obdurate-
ly refused to act in the way the banks
thought would save the country, hav-
ing certain obstinate notions of their
own.
Tuesday the banks saw that con-
gress would do nothing so to avert the
consequences Of panic they voted
that all loans subject to call must be
called at once and that no new loans
could be made under any circum-
stances. They advised their CORE
spending banks what they had done
and the banks through the country
took similar action.
And in spite of the efforts to pre-
vent it there was panic.
Then the banks patted themselves
on the back for their foresight and pa
triotism, and the newspapers heard of
OiiOll 1oi ColS llu dII ~ uNCllCC anu COIl-
mended them for doing all that could
be done to avert panic.
This is not a literal account of
what happened at any one time, gen.
tlemen. 1t is an approximate account
of what is happening all the time and
what notably took place in the sum-
mer of 93.
The banks have recommended a
certain line of financial legislation
now. They have as good as announced
that unless their recommendation is
adopted or if any other action is tax
en-, there will be a panic If they
really believe it or if they can make
the country believe it we may have a
panic made to order whenever the ac-
tion of congress does not agree with
the supreme wisdom of the men who
manage the big financial Institutions.
The banks realize their power too
we'll and their responsibility too lit
tie.

Mr.. EDITOR As there has been

sas thought ! would give my opinion
about that lovely country. There are
only two drow backs to Arkansas aud
they are very slight. Aud that is
that they have NO soil or markets but
what they lack i" those qualities they
make up in watey, woods, frogs, wood,
ticks and buffalo gnats, but without
any exception it is as nice a looking
country as | ever saw. They have ex.
c%ellent climate, but l agree with Mr.
Fuller when he said that il Nebraska
had part Of their rainfall both states
would be benefited by it. l did not
see any soil in Missouri, Arkansas,
Indian Territory or Kansas that would
compare with our Nebraska soil. l
would like to hear from Mr.. Fuller
again as ] think he has made a mis-.
take in the figures about that Howard
ranch, l do not think they could get

In the future l may be able to give
