SILVER MEN WIN.

The United States senate is, in Ia
vor of the unrestricted coinage of sill
yer. This fact was demonstrated by
vote taken upon Monday on mo-
t1on to make the bill of Senator
Jones, Of Arkansas, providing for the
Tree coinage of silver unfinished busi-
ness. This motion was carried by q
vote of 30 to q. The bill, therefore,
has the right of way in the senate and
takes precedence of all other meas
ures. The indications are that it will
pass the senate. 1t may, also pass the
house in the limited time remaining,
but, in that case, would, no doubt,
be vetoed by the fat represen-
tative of Wall street in the
White House. This action would go
far towards making up the issue on
free silver in the next campaign.
Voters conditions change greatly.
The silver question is bound to be
the great issue in the campaign Of
1896. The REPRESENTATIVE does not
doubt what the result will be. 1t will
eventuate in grand victory for the
people over the gold bugs.

WORTH THE GREENBACK

The New York Times demands the
retirement of the greenback. 1t claims
that the greenback cost the people up
to the time when specie payments
were resumed $l,72S, 100000. 1t takes
into account the depreciation of the
greenback during the war and the
period OF reconstruction, it's EXCHANGE
value going SO low once during the
war as 30 cents. Well, what of it? The
war and reconstruction periods are
long way behind us. There is no dis
count on the greenback now. It does
not seem to make any difference
whe Their there is $l00,OO0,0C or $40,-
OOO,O0 of gold in the treasury 1t will
be good when there is no gold-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
True enough. Within a few days
we have seen the gold reserve run
down from over $l00,OO0,000 to about
$40, 100000. This reserve is kept on
hand for the purpose of redeeming the
$3.50, 900 Of greenbacks in circula-
ton, but the running down of the re-
serve has had no effct whatever on the
value or purchasing power Of the
greenback. 1t shows that the gold re-
serve is myth. If there was not one
dollar of gold in the treasury the
greenback would be just as good as it
is TODAY

THE CLING MURDER,

Tine dark shadow of the gallows pro-
jects itself upon the horoscope of Har-
ry Haywards life with terrible dis
tinctness. That he will suffer the
death penalty for his horrible crime
does not admit of shadow of doubt
unless some juror is bought up to hang
the jury, which is not proba BILE.
The defense has adopted the theory
of an alibi. 1t will depend for it's
prof on the testimony of his father
and mother that he was in their house
at the time when Blixt swears that he
was on Kenwood boulevard awaiting
the arrival of his victim. This is the
weakest of all defenses because it de-
ponds for its substantiation on the
testimony of interested parties-a
father and mother Nobody has a
higher and stronger interest in pre-
serving human life than the parents
of the accused. Parental love is the
strongest impulse implanted in the
human breast. To it all impulses bow
in humble submission. Juries having
the determination of the question of
guilt or innocence in charge take cog
nizance of this truth and give such
evidence it's due weight The bloody
and cruel death of Catherine Cling will
be avenged by the life Of the man who
planned it.
OF this the REPRESENTATIVE enter
tainS no doubt.

A BRAVE FIGHT,

Senator Reishus is making brave
fight against the capitol bill. He is
making that fight for the people of
the entire state, who, by very large
majority, are opposed to this job. The
people of the midway district, between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, stand ready
to donate beautiful site for capitol
building whenever it shall have been
decided that new one is necessity. No
doubt the property owners there will
make other donations. MINNEAPOLIS
will give substantial aid towards the
erection of new capital. The state
already has location for new CAPT.
tol in Kandiyohi county. Under these
circumstances it is the height of folly
Tor the state to pay hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars for new site in St.
Paul. 1t would simply be throwing
money away.
1t makes no great difference to the
people where the capitol is located.
On the whole it would be better to re.
move it from the communicating in
f1uence Of great cities.
The location Of it on the site already
selected in St. Paul will result n lob

which must be paid by the people of
the state.

THE REPRESENTATIVE, which
was established less than two
years ago, has become the leading
reform paper of this country and
is easily preferred among mem
bers IF the Peoples party. In
thousands of families it is the
only paper taken. Our 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 ad-
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 a 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
$500 votes in Minnesota at the
last election and over SIX THOUs-

IN THE LEGISLATURES,

The Spasmodic attempt of the legis-
lature to unearth some of the frauds
permeating this state and remedy the
evils existing seem to be slum boring,
and it remains to be seen whether a
Republican legslatu with an over
whelming majority in both houses
dare let the light of truth and justice
in on some of the frauds and iniqui-
ties under which the people are groan-
ing.
The judiciary committee, as usual,
seems to be inclined to be the assas-
sin of meas ures calculated to give the
people what they demand, and that it
has long been contended that the
trust companies should be regulated;
that committee has reported agains t
bill having that object in view.
1t is said that the banks and Ken
yon do not like the bills introduced on
banking and defining the powers of
the public examiners, and it has been
whispered that certain bank officials
are going around with long drawn
faces.
1t would be more in keeping with
justice and law if M. D. Kenyon "bank
examiner" should devote as much
time to doing his duty as he does to
hanging around the legislature or the
banking committee opposing the pass
age of amendments to the banking
laws calculating to put an end to the
criminal career of many of these insti-
buttons, career which Kenyon could
if he would, have in many cases
brought to an end long since.
The banks and politicians appear to
be maintaining strong lobby in St.
Paul, and it is claimed strenuous eff
forts have been and will be made to
stop remedial legislation, but it is
quite plain that the end cannot be ac-
complished without recourse to acts
close upon bribery, for the measures
are just and temperate as a rule.
MI. Brevig will introduce long bill
amendatory of the railroad law, and
Mr.. Hanna has introduced bill that
will tax railroad lands, being in direct
contrast to the socalled Markham bill
OF two years ago, and the Anderson
bill OF this session. which by some are
considered too vague.

on the cost of railroads of this state.

ject. 1t is one of the fullest and most

STORY OF A PARLOR FRAY.
In Which an English Politician
Fails to Satisfy an American
BimetalliSt.

l met very important man not long
ago who is in touch with English poll
tics, and is violently opposed to BIZ
metalism. mr.. Blank, said I, this
matter of currency is forcing itself up
on such as l, who supposed that rulers
knew all about finance. The demone-
tization of silver in India wrought a
lot of ruin in this country. Why did
England take that step?"
This great man looked at me as saw
agely as if [ had asked bin why he had
murdered his grandmother. Could he
have annihilated me l felt that
should have been an instantaneous
wreck, but he couldn't. Smothering
his feelings as people do in polite
circles, this great man replied: 1.-THE
salaries of Indian officials are paid in
silver. The greater part of these sal
aries is sent to England. Owing to the
depreciation of silver the value of
money sent homo became so reduced
as to create great suffering. To reme-
dy this evil England demonetized sill
ver."
"Did the remedy remedy the evil?"
The great man glared at me and
answered sharply, mo; matters are
worse than they were before"
Then added, desiring to take a
lesson in finance from a financier, "the
remedy is worse than the disease is it
not?"
You ought to have seen the great
mans eyes when he snappishly an
swered, II can't say
"If," l continued. "England want
ed to protect her own flesh and blood
and at the same time protect her con-
querred millions In India, why didn' t
she pay her salaries in gold?"
Had L thrown bomb at the great
man. l could not have excited greater
Indignation. The great man was sip
ping tea at the moment l put what
seemed to me an Innocent and justi-
fable question. First he swallowed
the tea the wrong way and choked.
Then he dropped his spoon. Then he
coughed himself red in the face and
exclaimed: "Youask very extraordin-
airy questions. Idon't know anything
about it. Ask England"
Thanks; will when I meet her."
AND then we parted.
There is one thing do as regularly
as night comes around. Iwish for the
overthrow of the so-called libe raj par
ty in Great Britain. It has ceased to
represent the people in several ways,
especially in the matter Of finance. BIZ
metallism is popular with the British
masses, and with the return of the
conservatives international bimetal-
lism would be possible. AS though
transference is scientific fact, if all
American metallists concentrate
their minds on that which is nearest
their hearts-and pOckets-whok knows
what may happen?-Kate Fields

Barney 0'COnnOr Will Fight.

1T was sort Of understood arsund
the court room until this morning
that Barney O'COnnOr was ready to
throw up the sponge. take his medi.
cine and quit the whiskey business. in
sumner county as least. We are in
formed that the state had offered
that if he would serve his sentence
and pay his fine in the case in which
he was convicted. the other case
pending against him would be con.
tinued for the term and finally dis
missed If he quit the whiskey business
once for all. Many of his friends ad-
yised him to accept this proposition.
But Barney seems to be a head.
strong cuss. Immediately after his
first arrest he started up again in the
same place He was arrested a second
time. He gave bond again and kept
right on selling and is still at IL. He
seems to be hunting for "scrapplng
match" with the state and apparent
ly wants to fight it out to a finish.
Then when his case came up in
district court this morning Hon.
Otto Ecgstein Of Wichita. who is the
attorney for all the brewing compan.
les doing business there, appeared as
his attorney and after consultation
with OCOnnOr and James Lawrence,
the attorney who tried the case, he
announced that a motion for a new
trial would be filed.
This means that tie case is to be
fought through the higher courts.
w understand that Mr.. Eckstein's
clients consider the question under
the federal constitution which Mr..
Lawrence raised during the trial Of
sufficient Importance to make test
case of this one. 1t may finally land
in the supreme court Of the United
States. The further hearing of the
case was passed until next Saturday
morning.
In the meantime and for all time to
come, until Mr.. O'COnnor throws up
his hands and calls for quarter, we
would like to see him entertained by
being arrested at least once a week.
When any man gets big-headed
enough to think that he can defy the
law and back the whole state. we
like TO see him get a good big soul.

Civil Cases Assigned.

Judge Burnette made partial as.
signment of the civil trial docket Mon.
day morning. Inexperienced consider
able difficulty In doing so. In the
hrst place it is almost unanimous
opinion OF the attorneys at the bar
that the present term Of court must
end with the l4th inst. This term is
being held under the original act cre-
ating this judicial district. An act
passed by the last legislature makes
COwley and Sumner counties consti-
tute the nineteenth judicial district
and repeals the old law. The new
act takes effect on October Is, 1895.
1t seems therefore that this term
cannot extend beyond that date.
This leaves only two weeks for this
term to run. And here other diff.
culties arose. Nearly all Of the at.
torneys who have cases for trial in
this court also have cases in the su-
preme and appellate courts. The su.
preme court meets this week and
the appellate court next week.
As the hearings in these courts are
the last chances Of litigants to Sc.
cure their rights, real or imaginary,
it has always been the custom to ar.
range the hearing Of cases in the
trial courts so as to permit attorneys
to attend to their business in the
higher courts. But it was found tC
be impossible to assign many cases
this morning without conflicting with
these higher courts.
The following assignment of cases
was made, however:
MONDAY, OCTOBER 7.
Bank of Highland VS.. Sparks.
GiTard Life AssO. VS.. Loving.
TUESDAY. OCTOBER s.
Ash VS.. A. u. l. S. +. RID. Co.
WheelOck VS.. Dawson ct al.
But the chances are that the as.
signment of these cases will have to
be set aside for the reasons above
stated.
The following cases were dismissed
upon the call Of the docket: Rich
mond VS.. Morse, Helbert VS.. New
man, Cole vs., Cleveland, N. II. Bank
ing Co. VS., Day and Rudisill VS.. Kel
ler. The trial docket at this time
is lighter that it has been for many
years and there are really not many
important cases left on the docket fol
trial at this time.
