Hearing in the Hetty Green Darling

Heretofore Mrs. Green and her elderly
opponent have sat at opposite ends OF
the room from each other. To-day. how
ever, their seats were somewhat closer
together and Mrs. Green's face and
attitude betokened little joy at the new
arrangement.
Mrs. Green was accompanied by her
daughter and another woman.
The hearing was taken up with the
cross-examination by Robert u. I!ene-

offers you equally good Irvine for lower

output remains unsold that is none of
our business. We will hold Gov. Clough
and the Republican party responsible
for keeping such set of shalloW-pa-
ted and bigoted old-party seeds in Of
fee; and we will carry the state next
year and reconstruct the whole state
prison business from the ground up.
God knows it needs reconstruction.
The whole fire-service Of the Twin
cities could not wash it clean If it
played on it for six months. Its his
tory has been one long, continuous rec
ord Of venality and robbery:-the State
prison at Saltwater, instead of being
self-supporting as it should be, and as
other prisons are, has, in the past 80
years, cost the state million dollars
more than was received from it! And
now. with labor, shops, lights, heat,
power, ETC., furnished free, it declares
that it can not compete with manu-
facturers who have to pay full market
price for all these things; but will
economize by refusing to advertise
and holding onto its output, and so
smashing the whole business.
Let it smash it. With Irvine down
to rs cents per pound we can run
some risks for year or two; and we
certainly can not afford to pay higher
prices for what we can get elsewhere
at cheaper rates.
Let those take the responsibility
who are in power. BY plurality of
$4,000 they said they wanted that kind
of stuff. Let them have it.
But these knaves think the Alliance
is sickly and likely to die, or they
would not take such course, Rouse
up, brethren, and show them that you
are still alive. Concentrate all your
energies on the great fight in 1896: and
as an aid thereto push The REPRE-
SENTATIVE, which these knaves would

DEAL WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

We hope our readers will, as far as
possible, deal with those merchants
and business men who are either Pop
ulists, or willing to give Populists a
fair show in the world. Look over
this paper, and the other Peoples
Party papers, and give your patronage
to those who advertise in them. Don't
help to keep alive men who are your
malignant enemies. The sooner they
are dead the better for this world
and the worse for the next! You will
thus gently suggest to the Lord not to
make any more Of the same breed by
rushing them back onhis hands. It is
bad enough for man to be fool
enough to fool himself, but to perse-
cute those who are trying to save him
from his own imbecility is making the
coffee too strong, xas the colored gen.
tleman observed when some one put a
plug of tobacco in the coffee-pot.
And, above all things:-don't take a
newspaper that fights your interests.
Let it depend for support on those it
is enriching-not on those it is trying
to pauperize.
Give your open hand toyour friends,

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY

One OF the meaneSt and most arbi-
trary monopolies in this country and
about which there is the least said is
the telegraph monopoly. What a
blessing it would be and how many
people would be benefited if the tele-
graph lines were owned by the govern
ment. Thousand of printers and re.
porters now out of employment would
soon find employment. Every town of
1000 or more population conld have
one or more daily papers, with the lat
est dispatches, which would create a
demand for more printers, reporters
and editorial writers, besides creating
a demand for more paper and prin sing
material. Best of all, it would destroy
a monopoly which does more to foster
and sustain all other monopolies than
any other element in this country.
We can have government owners hip
of telegraphS just as soon as the peO-
pie get sense enough to vote for it,
Exc lange.
Precisely.
Now everything tends to build up
great, rotten cities-hot-be of vice
and iniquity; swarming with under
paid, half-fed workers, centers of cor
ruption, to misgovern the rest of the
community.
The telegraphs should go with the
mails. It is sim ply communication
carried by cleo tricity instead of by
steam. In England you send your
kilograms from the postoffices and pay
for them with postage stamps. Why

HOW 1T WORKS.

When the American colonies were
struggling for liberty France helped
and saved them. But l have not read
in the history OF my native land where
it ever helped any people struggling
for liberty against tyranny of mon
archy. "A few thousand Cuban patri-
OTIS are trying to throw off the Spanish
yoke-and this government is helping
to keep the chains ON the patriots.
Not overtly, but in a way just as eff
fective. The Spanish agents in this
country look out for their kings inter
ests.-Coming Nation.
The time is not far distant when
the United States will inaugurate a
propaganda for liberty over the whole
world. 1t will have to do so for self
defence.
This is how it works:
l. The Money-power and the royal
ties of Europe Cypress the people into
desperate poverty and wretchedncss.
2. These pauperised workmen de-
range the economic conditions of this
country, and beat down our own pao-
pie below the level of fitness for Re-
publican form of government.
3. The dominant classes of Europe
finding the workers of Europe helpless
beneath their feet are coming here to
tramplc upon America.
4. The best way to lift up our own
people is to better the condition Of the
wretched throughout the whole world.
The United States are big enough ia
dare to do right and leave the conse.
QuenceS with God.

A CORRECTION,

We quoted, two weeks ago an article
from Chicago old-party paper, to the
effect that the Populists of that city
were about to swing into line with
the Silver Democrats, and that fifty
Of them would go to the Free-Silver
Democratic state convention. We
were surprised at it, but we thought
we would give our readers the news.
1t turns out that the whole statement
was false-cut out of whole cloth.
Friends-whenever you see any
thing III an old-party paper you can
believe ito be lie! They would
lie the tail off the Great Bear, and the
legs off Centaurc, and the horns off
Capricorn, and steal the Milky Way
and sell it for oleomargerine. Meth

ANOTHER DRIED SCOTT DECISION.
THE SUPREME COURT ROBS THE
NATION OF THE POWER TO
TAX THE RICH.
The Income Tax All Swept Away.
The Revolution Progressing.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has abolished all power of the
nation to tax the wealth Of this coun-
try. The Money Oligarchy thus pro-
tects its members. The nation is no
longer republic governed by the
votes Of the people, but despotism
ruled over by nine members in the in
terest Of the Plutocracy which APP

Where is it to end:

pie from the domination of that

DEATH OF HON. JOSEPH GOAR

1t is with great sorrow we chronicle,
in another part Of this paper, the
death Of dear, old friend, and a
noble patriot and clear-headed origin
al thinker, Hon. Joseph Goar, of
Morriston, Rice county, Minnesota.
He was gathered to his fathers in his
S7th year. We were acquainted with
him for over thirty years, and the
better we knew him the more we hon.
ored and respected him. Colossal in
frame, positive and yet kindly in his
convictions, he would have been a
man of mark in any age. His life al
most spanned the history Of our coun-
try. Born in Virginia, near the be-
ginning of the century, he moved
westward to Indiana at the front of
the great wave Of emigration which
OVERLOADED the prairies and forests of
that new land; there he hewed down
the monarchs of the woods and with
his faithful wife by his side achieved
a home in the great wilderness. And
then when, like Daniel Boone, the
settlers became too thick about him,
he moved his patriarchal family to
the wilds of Minnesota; and finally
died, at the holhe of one of his sons,
within sound of the dashings of the
b ue Pacific. The story reminds one
Of the migrations Of Abraham; and
Mr.. Goar was one whom the great
t under Of the Jewish race would have
appreciated and honored. He moved
with the gravity and dignity of one Of
the men Of the older time. His life
was honorable. upright, peaceful,

struction of the greenbacks, what will

In the last Congress it was proposed
to repeal that part of the postage laws
which allows books to be sent out, by
