army, ana send out recruiting officers,
1t is not very clear that he and his ''yags''
are In any sense objects of charity. For
such men as Kelly and his worthless
followers, the Santa Cruz Sentinel offers
the following good suggestion:
Let fund be set aside equal to the
amount that is now paid in taxes and
charity for supporting able bodied indi-
gents IN idleness. Let this fund be used
In procuring work suitable for highway
purposes and constructing cabins suita-

every mendicant who is able to labor to
the quarters thus prepared for them and
give them the opportunity of working for

THE OTHER OK.

Gov. Nelson's entrance into the con-
test as an avowed candidate for Sena
tor has aroused the ire of the Wash
burn organs. What they are now say
ing about him, for severity and abuse,
far excels anything said Of him in the
campaign last fall by his opponents.
The charges include deceit. treachery
and lying. The REPRESENTATIVE
hardly thinks that this is deserved.
1t pointed out du ing the campaign
that Gov. Nelson did not pledge him
self to Mr.. Washburn's candidacy.
This is now confirmed by abundant
testimony. 1t also pointed out that
Mr.. Was hburn was not the favorite
candidate of the people. This is now
an undeniable fact. Furthermore, it
showed by republishing the results of
the legislative Investigation into his
first election that he ought not to be
returned. That election was most
scandalOuS thing. 1t did irreparable
damage to the state and demonstrated
that Mr.. Washburn should not not
have been elected in the first place.
AS to the result OF the present fight
the REPRESENTATIVE is convinced
that Mr. Washburn will be defeated.
The substitution Of another goldbug
senator in the person of Gov. Nelson
will be no gain for the material inter-
ests Of the people. 1t will, however,
remove from the senate man who
represents nothing but cooperative
and plutocratic interests; man who
has nothing in common with the great
constituency af farmers and laboring
men behind him. That will be some
gain and for it the Peoples party will
try and be as grateful as it can.

ROBBERS.

Attorney General O'Connor, of Wis
consin, has written an interesting let
ter to Robert Engren. of Minneapolis,
in regard to the collection of interest
money on public funds from the ex-
state treasures of Wisconsin. He
points out the proper method of pro-
ceedure to bring such officials to time.
With an honest attorney general in
this state there is no doubt that
hundreds Of thousands of dollars could
be collected. State, county, city and
even school district treaSurers, have
robbed the public in this manner. All
that is wanted in order to bring these
men to the bar of justice and recover
their thefts is an energetic prosecu-
ton.
The matter will be brought up in
the next legislature, and then we will
see what the Republican party will do

BRIBERY.
The Minneapolis Tribue of Monday,


said:
public office is a public trust, and not
private snap The patronage at the COM
mand of the governor and the lieutenant
governor was given them not for the pur-
pose of adding to their own emoluments,
but for the purpose of serving the pupnc
interests. They have no moral right TO
trade it for votes. 1t has been quite gen
orally reported that Gov Nelson is using
the power of appointment placed in his
hands to secure votes for himself Tor
United States senator and that Lieut. -GoV
Clough is promising chairmanshps OF com
mttees for the same considera ton. THE
TRIBUNE is not prepared to believe that
these charges are true. Such conduct, on
the part of men who have been honored
with the confidence of their fellow citizens,
would be too monstrous and shocking. 1t
would be par with the acts of NAL
feasance and corruption exposed by the
Lexow committee in New York. The prom
Use of office for a vote is just as much
bribery the promise of money. THE
TRIBUNE hopes and believes that politics
have not reached so low an ebb in Mime
sofa that the two highest magistrates in
the state will, either openly or secretly,
offer to buy votes with patronage.
These spasms of virtue on the part
of the Republican papers are anus ing.
There has not been a senatorial cleo
tion in this state since it's organiza-
tion which has not been followed by
the appointment to federal offices of
more or less members Of the legisla-
ture in which such election took place.
The Tribune is right when it says this
constitutes bribery just as much as if
the consideration paid had been money
instead Of an office, but the trouble
with the Tribune is that it objects
only when it's own candidate is in dan
ger from that source of corruption. II
papers like the Tribune had always
opposed this corrupt means of secur-
ing seat in the senare it would have
been stamped out long since.
The true remedy is to adopt the doc
trine Of the Peoples party to elect
senators by a vote of the people. Sena-
tor Davis is on record in favor of this
change How does Senator Washburn
stand on it?

A POLITICIANS CANDIDATE

The reelection of Senator Wash
burn will be a triumph of the politi-
clans over the people. He has abso-
luteiy no following among the last
named class. This is shown by the
fact that only four counties instruct
ed for him for senator. Two years ago
almost every Republican legislative
convention in the state instructed for
Davis, who never was the candidate of
the politicians in gene raj sense. On
the contrary, they were really opposed
to him until he made his peace with
the corporations and plutocrats. aban-
doning the doctrines which had made
him the candidate of the common peo-
pie. The people put Davis in the SEN
ate the first time. The politicians
placed Washburn there. His course
had satisfied all of them, except few,
and they are trying to reflect him.
The effort ought not to succeed.

Gold Inadequate.

The Voice: The worlds supply Of
gold forms the theme of an editorial
in the Century for December. The
conclusion is reached that the supply
Of gold is increasing and is ample for
the needs Of commerce. The lowering
of prices of other commodities is at
tributed not to a scarcity Of gold, but
to a perfection of the machinery Of
production and transportation. I'm
doubtedly there is more gold in the
world than ever before, and the in
crea Sc in the last two years has been
remarkable; but the Century misses
the chief point in the discussion, and
really comedies the case to it's oppo-
nents when it admits that dollar is
worth far more in exchange for COM
mOdities in general than 1t used to be
worth. This is an admission that the
man who has kept his capital in the
shape of gold or gold securities can
now command far more of the world S
commodities than he could genera
tion ago for the same amount of gold
AS between the owner Of the gold and
the producers of other forms of wealth
the former has reaped the advantages
and transportation, while not himself
entitled to any credit for the improve
ments. The Century also ignores the
increasing demand for gold in art and
and manufacture. There can be, in
our judgment, no doubt that the bust
ness OF the world has expanded In the
last 50 years far beyond the increase in
the prod uction Of gold. To depend
upon gold not only for our standard of
value, but for our circulating medium
as well, is to make the producers rem
der unjust tribute to the capitalist
Relieve it OF its functions as a circu-
lating medium. and let its value be
determined as that of other commo-
dities is determined, by the relation
between the natural demand and the
supply, and it will furnish probably
the best standard of value we can
have. Unless this is done, it bids fair

discussed from every side-morally,

gally responsible for cunsenting to her

of human bruteS, is thoroughly eX-

those who contribute to the discussion
are Aaron M. Powell, editor of the Phi

more successfully than any other has
for years waged battle for the rails

states; Frances E. Willard, president

A Question of Fairness.

Litchfeld independents: The ques-
tion of our currency is one of fairness
to all, and of stability. It is rank in
justice to the debtor class to contract
the currency so that their debts are
doubled. On the other hand, imitation
so that an invested sum is divided by
half is equally wrong to the owner Of
such Investment. The monied classes
are constantly striving to increase the
value OF the dollar, and 1t must be ad-
mitted that the course of events since
the war closed has witnessed the sue
cess OF their efforts to degree no
doubt gratifying to themselves. If not
SO to those struggling to better their
condition through going into business
ventures on borrowed capital, The
growth of population and business
should be accompanied by reasonable
expansion of the currency volume,
keeping pace with this growth. The
man who goes in debt takes his
chances of failure, but he should have
the privilege guaranteed him by law
that his debt should not be increased
by any manipulation of the laws in the
interest of the creditor, That this
manipulation has been going on for
the past 80 years does not admit of
doubt. Contraction and silver de-
monetization have done their work, so
that debt incurred at the close of
the rebellion, and still unpaid, has
been at least doubled by legislation of
this kind. The duty of the govern
ment is plain. 1t is designed to pro-
tect the people against just this sort
of schemes, and not to lend itself as
an instrument to carry them into eff.

Sometimes small word, usually
harsh, awakens more vivid picture
in the readers mental camera than
some softer one. On this idea I shall
use one of three letters to my old
party friends.
When your papers and politicians
told you that prosperity would come
by turning the Republican party out
and putting the Democratic party in,
they told you lie, for the hard times
continue under this administration.
Then when they told you that all
that was needed to produce prosperity
was the repeal of the Sherman pur-
chasing law, they lied to you, for pros
perity did not come.
When they told you it was overpro-
duction they lied to you, for there are
millions who are hungry and ragged.
When they told you 1t was lack Of
confidence, they Lied to you, for it
all the other causes, too.
When they told you it was the fear
of free trade they lied to you, for since
the country has voted overwhelmingly
Republican times are still desperate.
They have been feeding you on lies
for thirty years, and you have been re-
peating and believing their lies like
parrots, and you know it. Neither
party has ever told ybu single truth
except that the other party was I'm
worthy of your confidence. Neither
party has ever made you a promise,
| fair and frank, that would benefit you
even if they carried it out. You have
been voting, and yelling, and paying
tax and tribute to them for 80 years,
until your homes are mortgaged, your
cupboards bare, your body indecently
clothed, and still you can not see the
cause of your misery. You are so gull
lible that though they have lied to you
year after year for generation, you
| still think they will help you. Now be
candid, not with me, but with yourself
isn't it true? Except the few who
have got Office" amt you worse on
financially? Do you like lies so we'll
that you prefer those who deal in
them? These men are looting your

thing they can lay their hands on, and
are now bonding the people so that
