The Count OF Foptalva'. Drive.

There was no little stir on the Boulevard
des Capucines yesterday afternoon A

a postillon bestriding the leader on the
near side, that is 10 say. near according
10 the English rule of the road made its
appearance, coming down from the Rue
Royale. and drew up at the Grand Hotel.
A crowd speedily collected TO examine
the turnout. and great was the interest
displayed when it transpired that the coach
and the mules were the property OF the
Comte de FontaIva. who had travelled
with them all the way from Lisbon.
The animals are in capital condition I'm
spite of the fact that they covered about
5000 kilometres In the journey, and the
Comte de Fon,alva is being warmly con-
graduated on his performance. He started
from Lisbon on April 80. and has thus
taken f24 days on the road. through the
north of Portugal and Spain. the Basque
provinces, Bearu, Languedoc and so on to
this metropolis. The Comte says that the
greatest distance that he accomplished in
any one day was sixty-seven Kilometres.
and that he rarely did less than twenty
five kilometres. or course there were
the usual inevitable difficulties to be Ovr-

There was no bridge and the stream could
not be forded. so after a labor of some
hours posts and planks were set up. The
bridge thus hastily extemporiZed nearly
came to grief as the coach with its team
were half way over it. The mules were
pulled up just In time, and the mischief
was repaired. The little animals. indeed,
are extremely docile. and bear every evil

most picturesque scenery, is well satis-

The tramps are beginning to return to
the city early this year after summer OF
wandering in the country, says the New
York Herald Every autumn finds the
same army of Wandering Wfihes"
wendiug their way to New York, where,
through the cold days Of winter. ihey form
the greater portion OF the ''hard-luck" col
uny of the metropolis. In the spring they
depart for pastures green.
Many of these worthless chaps get long
way from home by stealing rides on freight
trains. Sometimes they are lucky enough
to find an empty car in which to era WI, but
more frequently they are compelled TO ride
OH the bumpers. Landing at point near
the city, they brush up n bit before intro
ducing themselves to the city folks.
A fayurite halfway house of these
choice individuals is an old building stand
ing on the north side of the Bronx Kills,
on the GouverneuT Morris estate. Not far
AWAY is the freight yard nr the New York
Central Railroad. and of the Harlem Rail-
road, where many trains arrive and de-
part 1t is therefore conveniently located
for the tramps and fits their purpose TO
perfection.
1t is no Unusual thing for from ten to
twenty tramps TO congrcgate there in one
night. In the spring the place was raided
by the police when the wanderers We're

OF the affair in some way OF other. and not

The old house, once used as coDlbiDa-

Declaration OF Independence lived in the
mansion near by. has been practically de-
serted by these predatory individuals dur
ing tf,e summer, but now is nightly occu-
pied.
Some peculiar Inscriptions have been
carved into the wood by the wanderers. A
bit of poetry written by kid" Bennett
when he was evidently struggling with a
severe attack of home-sickness reads:
Stay at home, my heart. and rest,
Keeping hearts is happiness.
They that wander they know not where.
Full of trouble and full of care.

WELL DONE.


Judge Ives, Of Crookston, elected
District Judge by the Populists in
1892, is justifying the good opinions of
his friends and honoring the great
party which elected him, All praise
to him.
Crookston, Mimi, Feb. Aft a
three weeks session, the grand Jury
made it's final report today and was
discharged. 1t has beaten the record
for the number Of indictments. Over
% indictments and presentments
were returned, most of them for gam
bling and running houses of ill-fame.
Several sensations were sprung today.
A presentment was returned against
Chief of Police Gonyea, of this city,
for allowing saloons to keep open after
IL O'Clock. and one or two indictments
for gambling were returned. The
sensation of the day was the suspend
ing OF M. X. Brown and M. p. DeWolf
from grand jury duty, and the bring
ing IN OF presentment against them
upon the charge of accepting a bride.
They demanded an immediate hear
ing and an investigation was at once
started which res ulted in their being
eXonerated of the charges and rein
stated on the jury. The case of w. S.
Russell, who was fined $3.50 and
months imprisonment for contempt
of court, is still in statu quo Russell
has not paid his fine and is allowed to
go on his own recognizance. The
charge against him was for swearing
out warrant for witness who had
been promised immunity by the
court.
There was an attempt recently to
attack Judge Ives because he wrote a
letter Offering immunity to the
wrong doors who would give evidence
against the public officals-but the
result has proved he was right.

ANARCHIST JUDGE.
The following was sent out by

The following was sent out by the
Associated Press on the 5th:
"Brooklyn, N. Y, Feb. 5.-Hon. W.
j. Gaynor, justice of the supreme
court, has written letter to the state
board of mediation and arbitration, in
which he discusses the circumstances
attending the Brooklyn trolly strike,
and in which he asserts that the dis
pute was brought on by the attempt
to create vast inflated wealth and
that, under healthy conditions, it
should not have lasted an hour. Until
the cause is removed, he says, it is idle
to try to prevent the effect. He recites
how the entire Brooklyn system was
absorbed by one company with paper
capital Of $50, 900, 900, without a dollar
or rail to back it, The manipulations
of ShreWd Wall street men caused the
strike.
"Justice Gaynor's letter was sent at
the request of the arbitration board,
and he asks that it be regarded as the
opinion of citizen, having nothing to
do with his judicial position"
Mr.. Gaynor is a Republican. He was
elected last fall by an immense ma
jority. No man stands higher in New
York. His word is as good as that of
any man. What he says on this sub
joel is entitled to weight. yet if any
Peoples party leader had expressed
such sentiments he would have been
denounced by the plutocratic press as
an anarchist. Almost without excep.
tion these papers have already taken
the part of the Brooklyn Street Car
Company against the strikers They
refuse in most instances to publish
the facts, and thus the people are mis-
led.
These are the things which breed
anarchy, but the people will soon awak-
en- to the fact that other interests be-
sides those of corporations and trusts
have rights in this country.

The Weather..

Hicks, the weather prophet, pre-
diets that the toughest and stormiest
period of the year will occur in Feb
ruary and March of 1895, says the Pub
lie Opinion. His forecast FOR the last
quarter of 1894 has been verified. He
told us that the latter part of October
and the month Of November would
be somewhat unpleasant for the
season of the year, and that
December on the whole would give us
splendid weather. January, he thinks,
will not be bad, but February and
March will be "terrors," in western
vernacular. April and May will usher
in an early spring, and the gentleman
advises every one who has sowing and
planting to be up and doing while the
pleasant weather of these two months
continues. June will be characterized,
by severe storms and plenty of rain
although the distribution of the mois-
ture of this month will not be alto
gether agreeable in some sections.
The remaining months of the sum-
mer and early autumn promise to be
very dry. 1--WE believe" says the dis
tinguished weather prognosticator
that change for the better will set
in the coming season in all central,
northern and northwestern parts of
our country and the drouth will pre-
vail more to the southwest during the
summer of 1895 and 1867

DIDN'T l TELL YOU so.
[St. Paul GlObe.l


One of the last acts of Gov. Nelson
was the nomination of George L. Beck
er to be railroad commissioner for an
other term. Thereupon the REPRE-.
SENTATIVE observes that it is precise
ly what it predicted during the cam
paign the governor would do if re-
elected. And sundry and odd quid-
nuncs among the Democrats and other
partisans look wise, and remark:
Didn't tell you so?"
One Of the arguments" used against
Gen. Becker during his campaign was
the allegation that his resignation of
the office of railroad commissioner was
but part of farce: that he did not
mean it; that it was in pursuance Of
an crstanding that he should be-
come candidate for the sole and only
purpose Of holding enough Democratic
votes to prevent Owens election, and
that he would be rcappointed. With
that prOneness to suspect bad mo-
tive where a good one is as, if not
more, probable, to which most men
are given, this infamous and malicious
falSehOod found wide credence, and
was not without it's effect.
The resignation of Gen. Becker was
an act Of high-minded, honorable
man, whose sense of propriety prevent
ed his occupation of an Office under
appointment of man whose opponent
he was in political contest. He ac-
copied the nomination in perfect good
faith. and with that loyalty to his
party which, on other fields, accepts a
| call to duty regardless of personal cou-
SideratlonS. There was a conspiracy
| OF Republicans and Democrats to get
him to accept the nomination, having
for its object the end alleged, but Gen.
Becker was nOta party to it, nor would
he believe it when assured of the fact.
lie was too honorable himself to be-
love others culpable of such dishonor
Gov. Nelson, with less of the fine
sense of honor or OF the fit thing to do
that Gen. Becker showed, lent Gre
dence to the charge by his silence. He
did not accept the resignation, nor did
he write reply stating why he did
not. This he might have done in a
manner that would have effectually
QuaShed the rumOr that was working
Mr.. Becker injury and himself benefit
He might have declined to accept the
resignation because of his unwilling
ness to deprive the state of the eX-
perience and especial al ilities of Gen.
Becker for the place, unless the people
themselves should say, by their bal
lots, that they preferred that Mr..
Becker servo them in higher capaci-
ty. But he kept silent, and thus gave
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-02-13
APPEAL TO VOTERS.

The ante-election promises Of the
Republicans have all proven to be
false und misleading. Instead of bet
ter times we have harder; instead of
more work for the unemployed we
have less; instead of higher wages we
have lower.
The government hesitates between
issuing one hundred millions or five
hundred millions Of bonds to be added
to the public debt. The worst Of the
Situation is that all unprej judicial OBJ
servers of the situation agree in say
ing that the future, instead Of promis-
ing change for the better, threatens
to be even worse than the past.
Every prediction which the People,
party made prior to election, even
down to the reappointment of Gen.
Becker on the railway commission and
the election of Gov. Nelson to the
senate, has been fulfilled.
1t was the same when the Sherman
law was repealed. The Peoples party
said that it would afford no relief;
that if it did anything it would make
matters worse.
The same was true when the Bland
silver coinage bill passed Congress.
The plutocratic papers said that with
in eighteen months after it became
law gold would entirely disappear from
circulation and would be at a prem
ium. Nothing of the kind happened.
1t is true that gold has now largely
disappeared. The banks are boarding
it, but this did not happen until the
Sherman law was repealed.
The REPRESENTATIVE, in all can
politics may be, which party has the
most closely predicted the results of
political events in the past eight years
the Republicans, the Democrats, or
Populists? There can be but one
answer, and that is indicated above
The conclusion deduced from this
matter is that the Peoples party is
nearer to the common people; that its
leaders are the better Judges of what
should be done for the country to re-
move the present horrible nightmare
of want and starvation.
The question which today appeals to
all patriotic people, which demands a
solution from the great army of voters,
is, what shall we do to save the coun-
try?
Let us all lay aside partisan preju-
dice, selfish interests, preconceived
opinions, and attempt to solve this
problem III the interest of all man
