Wheat, we will suppose, sells for one
dollar bushel. The owners of corn
influence Congress to legislate against
wheat as food. The result is just
what any man with an ounce Of brains
should expect. Wheat falls in price
on account of lessened demand, and
corn, by reason of the increased de-
mand, enhances in value. In short
while the extraordinary demand for
corn has driven that article up to a
figure beyond the reach of the masses,
and when they petition Congress to
repeal the law which makes corn, and
corn only, food, the growers and hoard
ers of corn flood the country with
bowls and shrieks of honesty and pa
triotism. Wheat" they say, 'shas
dropped to fifty cents. At such fig
ure it cannot be good food. 1t is a
dishonest product. II the country is
to remain prosperous, we must have
sound food" Now such declaration
as the above is absolutely analogous
to the present idiotic cry about
"sound money" Does any man doubt
that il the law touching the disuse OF
wheat as food was repealed, wheat
would go to dollar per bushel? And
so it is with silver. Repeal the law
which forbids its use as money, and
unless there is no longer any demand
for money, silver would instantly re-
gain it's old price.

DOCS PAPER DEAD.
DOC. FISH'S GREAT WEST DIED BE.
FORE THE BIG HARVEST.

DOC. FISH'S GREAT WEST DIED BE-
FORE THE BIG HARVEST.
The Rock County Herald, noting the
death of Doc. F'ishs Great West, says:
1.-THE Great West, Doc. Fish's Populist
paper, is dead again. 1t died once in this
state and the remains were moved to
Redfield, S. D., where it was resurrected
But it lived again for a short time only
and now, there is reason to hope it is too
dead to skim
While regretting the misfortunes of
any man, the state Populists express lit
tie sympathy for the demise of the West
as they say it's cratic course was such
as to cause suspicion and injury to the
Peoples Party cause. For a long while
the paper when in ST. Paul, was a great
power. Then it was openly accused of
selling out to the Republicans which de-
stroyed it's influence, and the quarrel
with Senator Donnelly in which it was
worsted badly, completed the wreck.
The Populsts say that this death is no
indication that the Peoples Party papers
are not supported by the masses Of their
party, as well as the papers of any other
political faith, though they admit that
their masses are, as a rule, less able to
support their press; but what they lack
financially they make up in Jealous self
sacrifice. The lesson in the case of the
editor of the West, they think, is a good
one to illustrate the necessity of charae-
ter and steadfastneSs to principle, what
ever the allurements or the personal diff
ferences with men.-Penny Press.

APPALLING ACCIDENT TAKES
PLACE ON A CANADIAN
RAILWAY.

South Quebec, July "a dreadful ac
cident occurred at Craig's road station
at 3:45 o'clock this morning. A pilgrim
excursion from Sherbrooke was being
run in two sections. The first stopped
at Craig's road to cross an up train when
the second ran into it, the engine blowing
through the Pullman and first-class cars.
So far as can be. ascertained now Is per-
sons were killed and about 40 wounded.
Driver Peter Mcleod, of Richmond and
Fireman Peter Perkins, of the colliding
train, are among the killed, their bodies
not yet being found Ten passenger cars
and the engine were wrecked. The track
will be blocked for some time. The
wounded are scattered far and wide
among the residences and it will be diff
ficult to obtain a complete list for some
time yet. The trains carrying the pill
grims were made up of residents from
Sherbrooke, Mage, Windsor Mills and
surrounding parishes. A special train
from Lewis with railway officials, a
wrecking crew and doctors arrived early
this morning and have done good service.
A train was made up about o'clock and
most Of the dead and wounded were con-
veyed in it to Lewis.

WARREN ON SILVER.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July S.-United
States Senator Warren, Of Wyoming.
who was elected on the free silver issue,
said yesterday in Herald interview, in
regard to his leaving the Republicans
if the party shelved silver: "You know
there is an old saying which says: "A
good dog never shows his teeth unless he

of silver. Until that time comes I don't
mean to make any announcement of any
threat to do so.
Il am a silver man in and out of con-
gress, in and out of conventions, all the
time, at ratio of is to /, without regard
to other nations, or at ratio of Is to l, if
we can secure it. The sentiment in ia

The signs Of Irvine famine multi
ply. The Minneapolis Journal of the
8th inst, publishes the following dis
patch:
Special to the Journal:
Saltwater. Mimi. July S.-This has
been a great session for the prison
binding Irvine factory, and instead Of
having large stock of Irvine on hand
when the season closes, every pound
manufactured will have been sold, and
fully One-half of the orders received
will not have been filled. The large
crops in every part Of the state have
had much to do with the demand for
Irvine. Warden Wolfer refused to re-
ceive any more carloads orders sew
eral days ago, but every mail brings in
batch of orders for carload lots and
smaller amounts. The factory has
been running over time for several
weeks, and the output aggregates
fully 1900 pounds per day, but this
is only drop in the bucket. When
the season began, the state had more
than million pounds Of old Irvine on
hand, but this also disappeared rapid
ly. and today there Is not q pound Of u,a-
sold t,Uine on hand.
We understand that special ap-
peals have been made to the Republi-
cans to stand by the State Prison
Irvine. It is all right. We never
doubted it could do without the Popu-
lists, and we have no doubt that the
POpulists can do without it.

SENATOR BLACKBURN WILL MAKE
NO MORE SPEECHES.
New York, July Especial dispatches
from Louisville, KY, say that Senator
Blackburn has been called off the stump
in Kentucky. He had an appointment
to speak at Carlisle yesterday. He went
there and took the stand for II minutes,
telling why he could not speak Sena-
tor Blackburn is still so rabid in favor
of free coinage that the Democratic state
central committee thought the interests
of the party would be better served if he
kept out of the fight. Consequently a
letter was addressed to him by Chair
man Carroll. asking him to- make no
speeches. Senator Blackburn said he
had worn the Democratic honors so long
he was we'll accustomed to it and did not
think he could work for any other par
ty However, he said, he would do as
he had been requested and make no
more speeches.

POPULIST ITEMS.

(From The Vox Populi st. LOUISE
The true Populist admits that we
are all creatures Of circumstances, but
jumps in to create the circumstances
he is to be the creature of.
The people pay more than the rail-
roads towards supporting the govern
ment, and on top Of it ali the people
pay all the expenses Of the railroads.
The railway magnates believe that
all transportation should be in the in
terest of the people, but they are the
only people they regard as such in the
case.
The effort to explain the principles
of the Peoples Party to some men is
tantamount to an attempt to load a
22-calibre rifle with 48-calible cart

POINTS FOR POPULTSTS.

The man who wears a plug hat and

Cannibalism isn't half as bad as CAPT.

The gold anarchists own the great

EAST VIA THE GREAT LAKES.

The Northern Steamship Line is an i'm
continental system. 1t gives direct con-
nection between Duluth, Superior, The
500, Mackinac Island, Detroit, Cleveland,
Buffalo and the East, practically extend
ing the Great Northern to within 400
miles of the Atlantic seaboard. During
the season of 1895 there are two magnifi-
cent steel-built steamships in service, the
North Land" having been added for
duty this year, to run reverse trips with
the "North West" There is nothing finer
in the way Of accommodations to be found
on any other ships afloat. These steam
ships make almost railway time in the
delightful trips between Duluth and Buff
falo. 1t was. thought when the North
West started last year that traffic would
come mainly from the tourist classes but
owing to the steamships superior speed
and splendid facilities business men took
advantage of it's service and patronized it
to an extensive and gratifying degree.
Merchants and others who have an East
ern trip in view can make prompt and
speedy time by the lake route and enjoy
the while one of the finest fresh water
journeys in the country, on one Of the
worlds finest ships. The North West"
leaves Duluth on Mondays and the 'North
Land" on Fridays at 800 p. M, after the
arrival of the Eastern Minnesota train
from St. Paul and Minneapolis. These
ships are so regular in their movements
that in the trip Of 1000 miles from Duluth
to Buffalo there is little variation in
schedule time in arriving and departing
at the differt ports. 1t is an ideal trip
and no one should go East and back with
out using the lake route one way at least.
