OUR THYME BUSINESS.

HOW THE GAME IS WORKED AT STILL
WATER.
Instead of selling ourselves we con-
cluded we would sell Irvine.
We have been doing tremendous
business. We have helped the paper,
and have helped the people to the
tune of many thousands of dollars. 1t
has paid to be subscriber to THE
REPRESENTATIVE. We have given
the people practical illustration of
our desire to serve them.
The State Prison Ring has repre-
sented that their Irvine was all sold.
We hope it is so; but; but we begin to
doubt whether such constituencies
scalawags can tell the truth inten-
tionally about anything. We have Just
received the following letter from Can
non Falls, Mimi:
II notice in THE REPRESENTA-
of July 10 statement that all
the prison Irvine is sold. / want to
say that I was in Mortified Monday,
July s. and saw sign out of saltwater
Irvine for sale, by man who is selling
machinry. on the opposits side of the
river from the old Ames mill. went
in and asked the price; he said TIC for
MANILA, and think it was 63c for
Standard. told him I supposed that
it was not sold to the dealers or trade
He said he was only selling it for the
state; that he had not bought 1t, but
was responsible for only what he sold;
that the farmers didn't have the
tn can1 - nd ho 4
to handle it, that the law was changed
last year. etc"
He had half car load left. Re-
spectfully, l. H. HARRISON"
The writer is very reliable gentle
man. This shows that the Prison
Ring, with free labor, free shops. free
fuel, free machinery, free lights, in
fact everything paid for by the people,
but the raw materials, are demanding
TIC for MANILA, which we sell for s,
and &c for standard, which we sell for
&c! And they sell to the dealers, so
that the dealers may take big bite
out of the farmers. And the farmers
have no money to buy Irvine! Poor
souls! They sould see the bank &C
count of THE REPRESENTATIVE. It
would make their eyes hang out.
We don't say the twine-plant at
Saltwater should be abolished-John
Norrish and all. But we do say the
people should put new hands in the
administration of it; and we believe
the next election will accomplish it.
Talk it over with your friends, and
let them look at those figures:-4 and
5-6a and 74!! And John Norrish in
Paris listening to lot of theorists
talking language he does not under
stand, and the people paying the bills.
Oh Lord!
The game of the Prison Ring was,
not to sell directly to the farmers; but
put the Irvine in the hands of the
dealers, the same as the Trust did,
keep up the price, disgust the farmers
and so lead to the abolition of the
whole plant. But THE REPRESENTA-
TIVE spoiled their little game and ex.
posed the rascals; and now the man
agement of the Irvine plant will enter
as an important factor, in the State
campaign of 1896, and we will see if
we can not elect governor who will
appoint a state prison board with
some practical farmers on it.

THE CROPS,

The crops Of Minnesota will be as q
rule good, but in many sections there
has not been moisture enough. o. S.
Reishus of Granite Falls writes us:
"The wheat crop will fall five to six
bushels to the acre short of what we
once expected. Everything-grass.
corn, etc.,-is drying up from dry
weather."
Don't he lp the knaves to brag your
crop above it's real extent, and thus
break down prices of what you have
to sell.

Forest fires are raging in Michigan.
We desire to put this prophecy on re-
cord:-If ever a Minnesota forest fire
progresses so far as to burn the ends
of the swallow tailed coat of Christie
pher Columbus Andrews, our noble
fire-warden, he will find out that there
is fire; and thereupon issue a procla-
nation against it, that will stir the
state to it's profoundest depths, and
thus earn his handsome salary.
If any man says Christopher Colum-
bus is humbug and his wardenship a
farce shoot him on the spot,-and you
can pick out the spot yourself.

HAYWARUS CASE.
RUMORS THAT THE SUPREME COURT
IS TO CONE TO HIS RESCUE.

NOMOnc THAT IdE SUFHEME COOhI
IS TO COME TO HIS RESCUE.
The Minneapolis Times says:
"a well-known Minneapolis attor-
ney is authority for the statement
that Chief Justice Start is rather in
clined to the opinion that Harry Hay
ward should be granted new trial.
1t is said that some time ago, in re-
ferring to the application for a new
trial, the chief justice said: II am
not so sure but new trial should be
granted in that CASE" While the
chief justice did not indicate the
ground upon which he thought q new
trial might be granted, he made ref
erence to some Of Judge Smiths rul-
ings, and particularly to his refusal
to admit testimony calculated to show
that there was insanity in the Hay
ward family. 1t is the opinion Of
those who are we'll acquainted with
Chief Justice Start and his methods
that he will give the case very careful
and thorough consideration. It is al
SO said that the chief justice was
rather glad that the papers in the ap.
peal were not filed until late in the
term, for in filing them at the 18th
hour and making it impossible to con-
slider the appeal until the October
term, 1t gave time for public senti-
ment to cool down, and in that way
made it possible to consider the i'm
portant case under conditions which
would preclude the possibility Of bias
because of the existence of pro-
nounced public sentiment against the
condemned man. An attorney who is
personally acquainted with all the
mn mi nr nf hn bn~
Judge Canty's criticism Of the counsel
for Hayward, in filing their vol luminous
appeal papers the day before the
court adjourned, represented simply
his own ideas upon the matter, and
that the other members of the bench
did not fancy the Minneapolis jurist's
action"
We hope these reports are not true.
We have no malice against Hayward,
but no sensible person in the state
doubts his guilt. He alone could have
profited by the poor girls death; he
held the insurance upon her life; and
the testimony of Blixt, who could have
had no motive to comit the murder,
unless he did it under Hayward's di-
rections, is conclusive Of his guilt. II
more we're needed his heartless, flip
pant course during the trial and since
his sentence is enough to convince
any person, as to his real character
In this lawyer-governed country
things are SO arranged that it is al
most impossible to punish person Of
wealth; that conviction is deep-seated
among the people and is the great
cause of mobs, riots and lynchings
Every one knows that If Hayward had
been poor man, of poor family, he
would have been hung long ago. This
is not right, especially in land which
boasts Of the equality of all men be-
fore the law. We do not advocate
vengeance; but the murder of Miss
Cling was one of the coolest, cruelest,
most infamous, most devilish eyer
known in the history of the world, and
If he is not hung we might just as we'll
abolish our prisons and shut up our
courts. We hope no wire-drawn tech
nicalitY will stop the course of justice.

where parties ordering Irvine have
sent us drafts, ETC., drawn in their

have sent us bank drafts without the

will be more hardship and suffering

was last winter. And yet if one reads

Change Your Seed Corn.

Il has bscome fact we'll known toRl
good farmers, that our older varieties OF

that change Of seed is very important,
