BENNER'S PROPHECY.
II Doesn't See Much to Encourage
the People This Year.

New York, Jan. 19.-For a number
of years past Samuel Benner has is
sued annually prophecy in regard to
various markets during the ensuing
year. His prophecies have been right a
sufficient number of times to create
curiosity as to what he would say. His
forecast for 1894 declared that there
would be continued embarrassed bust
ness. bankrupted manufacturers I'M
employed labor and ruined farmers. !"
For 1895 he says:
"There is no promise or sign of bet
ter times for the coming year. We
may look in vain for any permanent
improvement in general business.
Wheat at 55 cents bushel at Chicago,
cotton 81 cents per pound at Cincin-
natl and pig iron at $40 ton at Pitts
burg denote mpOverlShment for farm
ers, cotton planters and furnacemen.
An average crop of grain in this
country this year, with fair crops
abroad, will send the price of wheat
at Chicago after the harvest down to
40 cents per bushel. Prices for corn
next fall will drop to p cents bushel.
Fat hogs will be So per 100 pounds
gross for next seasons packing season.
Prices for wool, cotton, iron, cattle
and horses will be On the down grade
during the present year. Common
sheep, after the wool is taken off, next
year, will sell for what the pelt will
then bring, rs cents.

Sound Advice.

Ignatius Donnelly in the last iss ue
of the REPRESENTATIVE offers some
very timely advice to the Populist
senators and representatives. in
regard to the policy they should plr-
sue in voting for United States SEN
ator. He but echoes the sentiments
of ever honest reformer in the state
in the subjoined article. There is on
ly one course open for the Populist
mem bers in the legislature to follow.
if they desire to retain the respect
and confidence of the people they rep
resent, and that is to nominate their
own candidate and stand by him until
the last ballot is taken. The United
States senator to be elected from
Minnesota will of cUurse be Republ-
can. But who he will be it is hard to
conjecture at this time. There are
several candidates in the field all
claiming their election and a bitter
and INSCRIPTIONS fight is being waged
between the different factions over
the contestants for the position. We
never entertained the thought for a
moment that the Populists would cast
their votes for candidate belonging
to party which is the acknowledged
representative of money kings and the
sbulwark of plutocracy. Yet Mr.. Don
nelly's advice is appropriately.

Of these men, or, in fact. for any Re-
publican, without becoming traitor
to his party. There is but one thing
for them to do, and that is to vote
steadily for man who represents the
great and undying principles of the
party. If any Populist should vote
for Republican or a Democrat in
this contest. he would not only be
traitor to his party, but he would lay
himself liable to the suspicion of hav-
ing been bought The Peoples party
was not organized to haul old party
chestnuts out of the fire. Let the Re-

lists in the legislature stand by their

Political Corruption.
National Advance. Milwaukee

National Advance, Milwaukee.
A philosopher declared that the
river can never be purer than it's
source, and this ,.seems to apply to
politics. People complain of the
crookedness of professional politicians
and yet there are many who will con-
slider it perfectly honorable to bleed
the men who run for office most I'M
mercifully.
Just before election, fairs, dances,
raffles and festivals of all kinds are
held in great profusion, and clubs,
lodges and even churches do not hest
tate to arrange them, never for mo-
ment considering that it is a gross
wrong to hold club over man run
ming for Office and ''pulling his leg
politically speaking.
If men are taxed out of all sense
and reason by schemes like those emu
merated can any one blame them, if
they seek to make themselves whole
by shady tactics if they are elected?
Some readers may considers this Ian
guag4 too strong, but the condition
JuStifies it. The letter below is an
other confederation OF the statement.
1t was sent out under the seal of a
church in Milwaukee. signed by its
minister, not only to men of all par
ties, but to candidates all over the

Etruscan Allies.

Dulutn commonwealth
The st. Paul Globe reports that the
state commission to Investigate pine
frauds has compromised cases for less
than the pine men were willing to pay
for admitted errors and have not de-
veloped single new claim in favor Of
the state; that they have made the
state eight thousand dollars worse off
than if they had never begun, besides
their own costs.
The story has two apparent motives
to make Bierman the sole competent
guardian of the states interests and
we hope this is misjudgment-to make
the timber men the victims of perse-
cution when they have been the acct
dents of mistakes not their own, which
they were ever willing to rectify as
fast as pointed out. There is Incl
dentally the attempt to discredt the
endeavOr of a party not the Globes
for public eXactness.
The merits Of the case are obscure
| and purposely involved. Nevertheless
there is a fair presumption that the
things that would never have been
brought to light by the lumber COM
panieS nor by the men with whose con-
nivance the lumber companies prof
tied.
We are inclined to give the commits
sion credit for good intent and ener-
getic prosecution of their purpose.
| The intimation that they have simply
rolled up bill of expense and have
been more lenient than the officers I'M
der whom startling inaccuracies were
perpetrated-top put it in mild form
| is improbable on it's face.

Our Financial Policy.

TIE the EditOr of the Duluth Commonwealth:
On reading the recentaddress of the
Democratic executive committee of
Minnesota, it is plain that the recent
election has not aroused that party to
the fact that the Democratic party
has ceased to be party Of the age in
which we live: that the tariff contest
is thing of the past and laid aside
for some years to come is potent to
everybody save some mossback Demo-
GRAFT.
The Democratic party has ceased it's
usefulness and every good citizen will
reverently say, peace to it's ashes:"
and proceed with the People party or
any other party to work and labor for
a government of the people for the
great industrial masses of the nation,
and protect them from the crushing
power Of trusts and monopolies that
have absolute control of both of the
old parties, so that both alike insist
upon keeping up the financial policy
Of ruin adopted by the Republican
Democratic party.
it is not legal tender. and the curren-
cy iss ued by the banks based on gov
eminent bonds, bearing interest, are
the two great causes of our financial
distress and paralyZation of business
interests, and the want and suffering
attendant thereon. Everybody who
thinks at all on the subject
knows they are the principal
causes of our trouble, which
will continue till the policy of both
of the old parties shall tie changed.
And we have nothing to expect Of the
Democrats in that matter any more
than from the Republicans. The ut

RATHER QUEER PEACE.
A Partial Summary of Recent War
Measures in the United States.

Now, this is nation CT peaceful
people, hard working and minding it's
own business, instead Of being bent
upon killing it's foreign or native
neighbors. Yet what are those which
the historian calls the "more impor-
tant acts of the second session of the
Fitty-second congress? r cad, mark,
and inwardly digest:
An act to decide upon the muster
and pay of enlisted men.
An act to provide for the purchase
| of discharge from the navy or marine
| corps.
An act regulating military post
traderships.
An act to stop the reduction in the
numbers of the engineer corps Of the
navy.
An act concerning the pay of en-
listed men of the army.
An act concerning the pay depart
ment of the army.
An act pertaining to West Point
cadets (who receive $40 year,.
An act providing for an increase Of
the navy, authorizing the president to
expend 81, 200, GOO for three new gun
boats.
The extra session of the Fifty-third
congress was called the 18th Of August,
1893, for the special purpose of undo
ing one Of the most foolish things
done by preceding congress. They
dwadled three months over this ques-
tion, the two rival bodies tossing it
back and forth, each trying to gain
glory for itself in tireSOme iteration
and reiteration of arguments already
Jhrashed threadbare before they be-
gan. But, in the meantime, they
passed bills providing for the con-
structiOn Of steam revenue cutters
and for an increase in the number OF
officers of the army to be detailed to
increase militancy among the boys in
our colleges.
In the last year these two bodies
(neither of which really represents
the American people, compelled the
people of the United States to pay
$l5S, 15o, 342 to the clamorous claim
ants and hangers-On of war which
ended thirty years ago! The farther
| we get from the war the bigger grows
the roll of pensions which the labor
ing people have to pay. The amount
is now three times what it was in 1881.
Last year the people of the United
States were made to pay $40, 900, 600
more on these pauperzing pensions
than was expended for the public edu-
| cation of the whole youth of our
country.-Ellen B. Dietrich in Twen-

The Bench Reversed.

A judge who did not know his duty
met jury in Chicago yesterday who
did know theirs. 1t was personal
damage case and the judge instructed
the jury to find that the defendant
was not at fault, and that it should
have been the company that owned
the tracks instead of the company
that leased them.
The twelve men in that jury one
after another rose in his place and
told the judge politely but firmly that
he could not render such a verdict.
The Judge turned seven shades Of red

and then told the jury to retire and

and then told the jury to retire and
make their verdict.
The jury was unquestionably right.
The judge has no more power to direct
what the vedict shall be than the
clerk or the janitor. The jury is the
final authority on questions of fact.
In this case the judge may have been
right had the jury wrong, but that
makes no difference; it was for the
jury to determine what the facts were
and the judge had no province to in
terfere.
1t is not an uncommon practice for
judges to direct what the verdict shall
be. In most instances it is no doubt
innocent and correct in fact. But it
is an unconscious usurpation of func-
tions that do not belong to the bench
and could very easily be carried to
mischievous or fatal lengths.

buked by twelve plain American citi-
