Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1895-05-07

has now gone up there to settle
on it, and make that place his
future home.
Alfred Gordhamer was in St.
Cloud on the Goth to take a
claim in the woods in the north
ern part OF the state. Success,
boys.
Mrs. G. McVaigh, OF Willmar,
spent several days here selling
books lately.
Mrs. Chas. Bergquist was up
from Willmar attending the
funeral of her grandmother, at
Edberg's on the 18th ult.
Mr.. and Mrs. Erick Paulson
visited friends in New London
last week.
Martinus Johnson, OF Brown
County, visited his daughter, Mrs.
K. j. Huseby, lately.
Filing Ellingson and son, with
family, OF Willmar, visited at
Kambestad's lately. Mr.. f. Jr.,
and family, we understand, is
over from Colorado on a visit.
Halvor Negaard is at work
putting up a wind mill for Ole
Haugen, who intends to use air
as power to grind feed with, it
is a Duplex 16-foot steel wheel,
with wood tower.
E. K. Lund has made a geared
wind mill this winter, and put it
up this spring.
G. Swenson is also at work
putting up wind mill on his
farm, he having secured the
machinery OF an old wheel. He
is doing all the wood work, both
for the wheel and tower, himself.
Martin Walby is at work build
ing an addition to the residence Of
John Foshager. A. 0. Andel son
is managing the work of build
ing a fine residence for Matthias
Johnson.
The parsonage occupied by
Rev. R. X. Fjelstad was very
near consumed by fire lately, as
some one had set fire to burn the
heavy grass in the slough close
by, and the heavy breeze made
it nearly impossible to cOntrolit.
1t seems that people are not
careful enough with setting fire on
the grass. This was the second
time in the last two years in
which that parsonage has been
threatened to be consumed by
prairie fire.
AS it had pleased the able
editor to invite the different
Peoples Party men to express
their views in the columns of the
Tribune in regard to the issues
in the next campaign, we for one
will give our opinion in brief,
although we expect that it will
have no bearing on the public.
We fully agree with the editor,
and we have been OF the opinion
for some time, that the money
| question will and has to be, the
leading issue in the next cam.
paign, as that is the question
that has agitated the most, and
has to be settled in the near
future, for if the silver will not
soon be placed, again, upon the
place where it belongs, but that
the gold bugs will be allowed to
continue with the present gold
basis only, this country and
especially the laboring classes
will be ruined. And this question
has to be settled by the Peoples
Party. AS we cannot depend or
that either OF the old parties vii
accomplish anything in that linz
although they will no doubt
be forced to take a standpoint ir
the matter, and there is al
probability that they will adop1
a Bimetalic platform as Presi
dent Cleveland was elected on {
bimetalic platform, but his frs
action after taking upon himsel
the presidential duties, that wa
OF any Importance, was to cal
an extra session Of the congress
and have the silver taken ava,
from the market as STANDARD
money, therefore it will be neces
sary for the Peoples Party, AM
all that favor the same principle
to unite on that question. l an
in full sympathy with the entir
? Omaha platform, but believ
| that all the different planks car
not be equally advocated at tn
same time, and the money ques
ton is now the most important
and the one that has to b
settled first, and when that
satisfactorily settled we will, n
doubt, get better times and til
I other issues will be settled one b
one. YES.
