Greenhut, Of whisky trust fame, have
taken legal form. Lots Of crooked work
alleged to have been done by him and
his gang. The receiver recites that he
Is DESTROYS Of closing up the affairs of
the trust. II every state in the union
would promptly adopt the South Caro-
lima dispensary plan-state control
without profit-the whisky monopoly
would pass into oblivion.
May is the Redwood Falls Citizens
Bank closed its doors with 500, 900 Tia
bilities. The widows and orphans and
numerous small depositors of that
neighborhood should keep right on
bowling for the election Of Republican
prosperity. The Populists demand gov
eminent banks that cannot fail. We
are continually told we have the finest
banking system on earth. Is that so :?
Rats!
At West Superior the Barclay Milling
Company made an assignment on the
18th inst; liabilities, $4,000. The as
signment was brought on by a small
judgment of $500. Voters should not
vote the Populfst ticket, it might pro-
duce drouth.
A dispatch from Milwaukee on the
18th gives notice of the fact that the
street railway company of that city will
be placed in the hands of receiver.
Henry G. Payne and Willard are two of
the worst bunco steerers for floating
wind" bonds that this country has pro-
duced. Our own Lowry is put into the
shade by them. More breakers are
ahead. Under date of May Is, an ex-
| animation of the records in the register
| Of deeds Office shows that the bonded
indebtedness of the property is $12,-
775,O0O. Milwaukee should own her own
street car lines and so should all cities
Still more prosperity. The earnings
OF the great Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railway for the second week OF
May were $464,680. a decrease of 49,, 234
| from the corresponding week of last
year. Give US more gold standard, more
| gold bonds, and we will get more re-
ceivers, more reduction of wages, more
murders, more thefts, more hell for the
common people.
Great Republican prosperity in Iowa
May IL, excitement was running high
at Orr Bros. mines at Orrvillc. Two
hundred striking miners marched to
| force out other miners who were work
ing for Is cents. They threatened t.
blow up the property owned by Orr
Bros. What blockheads. They nc
doubt voted the Republican or Demo.
cratic ticket. Until all such chumps
learn that the ballot is the easy and
sure method of getting relief, let then
suffer for their ignorance.
Still more prosperity. At Negaunee
Mich, May 18, 200 miners were dis
charged from Buffalo groups, leaving
only 100 men remaining These prop
critics have an annual capacity of 500 ,OOt
tons, but the demand for non-Besseme1
ores is so slack that ores similar to thu
Buffalo sell for 81 ton delivered al
lower lake ports. Still Bradstreet an(
Dun's agencies keep harping about bet
ter times. Thousands of unemployed al
over the country keep on hoping bu
to little purpose. Times will continue
dull.
Oh, no, don't vote the Populist ticket
because in place, of busted banks ant
suffering depositors you would have
government banks and prosperous de
positors. The grand jury of Watertown
S. D., May Is, indicted the Republican
and Democratic bankers, Walter Will

G. Heegaard, Ole Gesley, c. C. Whistler
C. w. Goodman and Hans Mathiesen
for receiving money when they knew
the Merchants Bank was insolvent. TIL,
