s dec sion Of Attorney General

"A decision Of Attorney General
:Childs today took several kinks
out Of the many land grants Of
the state, of swamp lands. In:
the case of the Duluth & Iron.
Range, he holds that tits the duty
of the auditor to certify that
grant, notwithstanding the fact
that the road was completed aft.
|ser the expiration Of the limit set
by the grant,, in which the line
was to have been completed.
Some 800, 900 acres, mostly in st.
Louis County, and some Of the
lands Of immense value. were in-
:volved in the decision, !. ~
This decision may have bear
ing not hitherto expected, on
some Of the other grants as the
question arises if this company
can claim lands when it has not
completed within. the time set,
why not other companies, even
although the time be greatly ex-
tended.
This grant is one which has
been connected. with twists and
turns. The Duluth & Winnipeg
railroad succeeded to it, provid-
ed there was forfeiture. and in
turn the st. Paul, Brainerd &
Northwestern company were to
have the lands if the D. & w. did
not build within the time set for
it to do so, which;the D. & w. did
not do. The attorney general S
decision will revive hopes OF
others interested in these lapsed
grants, but perhaps on somewhat

Declare fifty cents in silver to
be worth one dollar in gold and
you will make two dollars of one
dollar; therefore silver has twice
the purchasing power of gold.
Figures never lie.'' That's a
good point for the financial editor
of the Tribune to- explain. -Will-

We do not catch Bro. Birch s
idea exactly. Declare fifty
cents in silver to be worth one
dollar in gold,'' and etc. Who
proposes to do that? Not the
Peoples Party at least. All pop.
ulists- ask, and have ever asked
is to have free coinage for a 1OC
cents dollar in silver the same as
free coinage for a 100 cent dollar
in gold. We don't understand
what Birch means by saying
therefore silver has twice the
purchasing power Of gold" Pur'
chasing power regulates it sell
according tosupply and demand.
The government cannot fix the
purchasing power. of the dollar.
Nor of either metal: It can sim,

The people Of the United States
have right and the opportunity
to vote on the money question.
If the majority vote for our pres
ent system, it is best for the peo-
pie that they retain the present
system. If a majority of those
voting approve the gold standard,
and a large body of citizens don t
vote at all, they, by not voting,
agree to the present state of
things, and the gold standard
should be given the people. The
people must rule. By the peo-
pie is meant the majority of the
people: If the majority of peo-
pie want poor government, then
a poor government is better for
that people than a good govern
ment where only a minority of
the people want it.-Windom Cit
izen. 49,. .
That is right. Let the people
vote on the question and let us
know the, worst. If the people
say gold We will have gold, and
adjust our business accordingly.
Let this question be settled one
way or the other and let people
know on what basis to do bust:
ness in the future, and whether
it is worth while for them to at.
tempt paying their debts. II
the present gold policy shall con.

country may as vel. assign at

day by the thousands are worry
ing themselves to death, or into

property. In the name of hum.
anity let this thing be settled one
way or the other for good.

TUESDAY,. AUGUST 9Th, 1895,
Il NEW PARITY is COMM &.

Il NEW Ps4RT1'L rs COyNL.YG G.:
Senator PETER is out stating
that new party must be formed
to include populists and free sill
verites and anti-monopolists of
the old parties.
Now this<is precisely what we
expect, and have for a long time
expected to occur. S. M. Owen
expressed some such expecta-
ton when in Willmar about d year
ago. Leading populists have
been blamed for SO freely ex-
pressing a Willingness to cooper
ate with the disgruntled masses
of the old parties. But a broad
er view: of the situation will
show that this position of our
leaders thus early is of the great
est Importance. We claim to be
fighting for principle, to be dis
enthralled from party idolatry.
We wage war against party idol
airy in the ranks Of the two old
parties. To show that we are
sincere in our belief, that we
practice what we preach, it was
necessary that our leaders should
show this spirit of compromise.
This action evinces the highest
degree of practical management
of the affairs of our party. Here
We are," our leaders have said.
to the dissatisfied ia the old par
ties, :'ready to meet you half
way to devise some solution for
present ills. Wehave a platform
which we believe fully and COM
pletely expresses the need of the
hour. Until we get something
better and more practical we
stand by it. But if you cannot
oneientionsly come over to us
i wholly, il you cannot agree to
. all of our planks in the Omaha
platform, we will leave for the
time being some of our planks
out, and meet you for instance
on the silver question on which
we all seem to agree, and fight
that out first. If we cannot
agree to work together to get
great reforms enacted, our par
ty prejudices shall not pre-.
vent us from uniting with you to
get what we can, provided it is in
the right line. If we cannot
agree topull together to our final
destination, we are ready to pull
/ you as far as we can travel
thesame way" This, if we un-
derstand the situation, is the
position of the leaders of the
Peoples Party. This position
W1LLMAR TRIBUNE emphatica1ly
endorses. Why? For several
reasons: First, the people of this
country want some relief quick
to save them from general bank
ruptcy. Time is of the greatest
essence now. Another gold pol
icy administration will probably
ruin this country beyond help,
and certainly entail enormous
suffering and likely open revolu-
ton. The condition of the pro-
ducers at present is like the
starving shipwrecked crew drift
ing towards land. One morsel

admits having q conversation with Miss
Cunningham relative to seeing Blanche

were suggested by the reporter and
that he neither affirmed nor denied any
