MI. Edward wildor's Ideas on How to

Mr. Edward Wilder's address to the

"The silver question, and the problem
of the national finances have overshad-

"BOth problems have darkly clouded

Bankers Ideas on the subject Vary
Widely.

"The Democrats demand free material

why not free material for the farmer and

President Debs of the American Rail-

fer with President Hill of the Great
Northern road concerning the men who
were dismissed from the service of the
Great Northern road at st Cloud because
of their activity in the American Rail
way Union. When the strike Was set
tied year ago by decision of the board
of arbitration, it was stipulated that en-
ployes should not be discharged because
of their mem bership in the union.
In the report from the men it is said
that when Division Superintendent Rice
told them he had a letter from General
Superintendent McKenna ordering their
discharge because they we're labor agi-
tators that Nr. Rice said it was news to
him and it was very disagreeable duty
for him to perform, because the men
had been in the service long time and
no fault was to be found with their
work.

10 Swear or not to swear.

There is a theory that the supreme SOW
ereignty resides with the people. But
as 1t is impracticabie for all the people
to assemble In a field and enact a con-
stitution, by aine-spun fiction, an cleo
ton OF delegates to q convention dele
gates the sovereign power to these
chosen representatives. Thus the dele
gates when assembled cmbody by a
sort of transmigration the sovereign
capacity OF a million of people. In. or
ganizing the convention somebody
whispered into the ear Of President
Evans that the delegates had not been
sworn in, ~whereupon he gulped down
the ordinary official oath and swore in
the delegates of four or five counties.
Ragsdale, Il conservative of Fairfield,
raised the point that the body was
sovereign, and owed no allegiance to
anything terrestrial and therefore
there was no necessity for an oath
Being q conservative it was about to
be overruled, when Senator Tillman in
terposed that he would not compromise
his seat in the Senate of the United
States by taking an ''oath of Office"
when a stampede resulted. The point
was well taken by Ragsdale but needed
Tillman's voice to carry the point in
that body. But Senator Tillman was
all wrong in his idea that the admin
istration of al oath or it's waver af-
fected his sitting as a delegate
or not sworn, the substance of
the thing lies in acceptance of the
position of delegate and acting as
such. Possibly Governor Evans has va
Gated the office of Governor. So of the
positions, Lieutenant Governor, Speak
er, and so on. All these offices may be
vacant as well as the two United States
S~enatorships and thus we have q geu-
eral interregnum all around. We can
only be saved upon the theory that if
the crown is found hanging on q bush,
allegiance is due to it until the right
full owner is found. We live in record
breaking times and it is all very fun
ny. Serious litigation may arise upon
the complications and furnish plums
for assistant counsel.
