DOESN'T LIKE IT.

The St. Paul Globe reviews at
some length the wonderful Demo
cratic platform adopted at Chicago,
and says: ''Such is the platform
upon which a majority of the
delegates at Chicago have elected
to go before the people of this
country. 1t is not platform on
which we believe that any party
can win in an appeal to the
American people. The issue,
however, has been made and now
let it be fought out to the bitter
end. Every Democrat Of the
millions in this country who are
steadfast in their dev otion to the
great principles that have made
the party what it is, and preserved
to it the loyalty of noble and un-
selfish souls, will reserve and ex-
ercise freely the right to accept or
reject as he may see fit this novel
doctrine attempted to be injected
into the body of the Democratic
creed. For ourselves, and for the
body Of the faithful believers in
bimetalllsm, we say that it will
take more than the .dictum of a
convention, chosen and managed
as this has been, to make free
silver, leading to immediate silver

Pilgrims to Palestine Taste the Dregs Of
Wretchedncss.
Three months ago a colony consisting Of
about so citizens of Smith county, Kan,
started for Palestine, their. destination be-
ing Jerusalem. They were seized with q
religious mania which, the leaders told
them, indicated the end of the world in
September next. They were told that the
Saviour would make his appearance In the
Holy Land and that only such Of his people
as were found there on resurrection day
would enter into Joy everlasting. Accord
inRly this little band started on its long
journey.
In the party was Miss Nellie Brown,
who was betrothed to rich young farmer
of Smith county by the name Of Stewart
The young woman did not want to go, but
her parents compelled her to follow the
band After the colony had arrived at
Jerusalem and found to what depths Of
wretchedness they had descended Miss
Browns parents gave consent for the girl
to write the story to her lover, which she
did. The next mail back carried sufficient
funds from young Stewart to pay the girls

The "present gold standard, z
which the st. Louis platform en-.
dorsed is what Grover Cleveland
has been giving us for the past
three years. Is it not time for a
change! -Duluth Herald.
BY this item the Herald would
like to convey the impression to
its readers that the present
gold Standard is something that
has only lately been adopted, when
in fact it has been the legal stand.
ard since 1873, and practically the
standard of the country since 1884.
This very fact knocks out the as.
sertions of the silver monom etal-
lists, that the present gold stand
ard is res ponsible for the existing
hard times. The hard times are a
result of an attempt toward free
trade, taken by Democracy, 1nten.
sified by the agitation of silver
monometallists like the Herald,
for the free coinage of the 50-cent
silver dollar. 1t is time for a
change, but not of the money
standards. The change should be
towards the republic doing it's own
work, and the cessation of the So
cent dollar agitation by the silver
monometalIists. That is the kind
of a change the people will speak
for next November. Mankato

POpulism at Last.

For several years the Demo
Gratis of the South and West have
been drifting toward the Populist
party, and the frequent combina'
tions of local and general tickets
between those parties has prepared
many Of the rank and file Of the
Democratic party for a final union
of the parties. In Minnesota
four years ago they united on part
of the electoral ticket. Six wears
ago they united on state auditor.
Four years ago they united OIL su'
preme court judges, and they did
the same at the last election on
Willis against Collins. On the
legislative tickets the fusion has
been frequent. The same system
has been practiced generally in the
parts Of the country where Popu.
lists and Democrats had better
prospects of success united than
either had independent. Many
Democrats always refused to en-
dorse the fusion, but as it was
upon candidates rather than upon
principles, the protesting Demo
Gratis were not as numerous as they
will now be-since the Democrats
have taken more of the Populist
principles.
The results of the last Demo.
cratic administration had SO dis.
gusted the people generally with
Democratic rule, that the only
hope Of that party succeeding thi:
year was in having the party itself
repudiate the administration, and
depart from the issues that Democ'
racy heretofore maintained. II
was logical that the Democrats
should turn to the Populists fol-
principles, and take course that
would gain them Populist votes,
and possibly positive Populis'
endorsement IN national conven'
ton. The Democratic candidate.
Bryan, has been party to fusion
with Populists in Nebraska, and
is there regard ed as more of a
Populist than Democrat. This
surrender to Populists will practic
ally destroy any chance of the
democratic" ticket carrying any
Eastern or Middle states, ano
drive thousands of former Demo
Gratis to the Republican party III
all parts of the country.
With Altgeld, Tillman AND
Bryan as leaders of this new De-
mocracy, it is very inviting to the
Populists, cheap money men and
silver mine owners, but thei1
success does not promise bette,
times or better government.

ceived from the Republican party,
which always does something, for
silver when it passes tariff bill,

zas have found it profta BILE TO
keep a large number of orators,
lecturers and other spokesman on
the road preaching to the people
already limping as a result of the
bites by the free silver cur the
sovereign remedy of applying the
hair of the dog to the wound.
Among the men who have been
thus employed and carried on the
pay roll Of the Big Bonanzas for a
number Of years is William J.
Bryan, Of Nebraska. A paid
agent of and spokesman for the
silver combine, he has not since
his retirement from congress had
any other visible means Of sup
port.
The richest men in the world,
the proprietors Of the Big Bonan-
zas, hire orators like Bryan, ex-
actly as other wealthy men hire
fddIers. and value them about as
highly. Silver orators, like fd.
oilers, come in at the back doors
Of the Big Bonanzas and eat at
the servants table.
Since he holds this relationship
to the Big Bonanzas, William J.
Bryan's nomination at Chicago,
by their order and as a result Of
the free use Of their money be-
comes an insult to the American
people of nc small proportions.

The Republican party must GER
tainly meet the free silver issue in
the campaign as 1t has boldly met
it by the declarations of the st.
Louis platform. But a simple
fight against free silver will not
promise the country the better
times that are demanded. The de-
feat Of the free silver scheme will
aid in restoring confidence and
help business, but prosperity will
be fully restored only by the ad.
justment of the tariff laws SO that
American laborers and producers
will find employment in providing
goods used in the American mar
ket. The tariff laws must be so adj
justed that the income will exceed
the expenses of the government.
The way for the Republican party
to win the victory is to convince
the people that it will enact laws
that will bring better times, and
no Republican doubts but it is
possible to do so. Free trade as
well as free silver must be beaten.

While the Democratic conven
ton in Chicago attracted general
attention, some interesting polite
al gossip appeared in the Twin
City papers. There was some
discussion over the selection OF
the chairman Of the Republican
state committee, the name of
Alvah Eastman, editor of the St..
Cloud Journal Press, being sug-
gested as Tams Bixby's successor.
Some of the newspapers stated
that State Auditor Dunn was a
candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor in 1898,
and that Eastman's selection was
to be in his interests. 1t was
stated that Gov. Clough desired
some other man than Bixby, and
that Berg, Koerner and Childs
desired Bixby. When the com.
mittee was finally selected Eli
Warner, of St.. Paul, was made
chairman. He is now president
Of the Republican league clubs OF
the state. The state committee
includes large number of the
former members.

THE GHOST OF HALLOWEEN.
IJUDGE.l

The moon is like the dead mans eye,
and round it drifts the clouds,
All stained and Streaked and dappled
dark, like heaps of mOuldy clouds.
A little lower to the sod the messy
headstones lean,
For all the graves give up their dead
the night of Halloween.
The doves are moaning in their sleep
within the belfry tower;
The aster in the walk has lost its last
forsaken flower
And two by two they lightly pass like
shadows on the green,
With steps that leave no prints behind
the ghost of Halloween.
They circle in a phantom dance and
waver to and fro,
And eddy in the chilly gust like
wreathes of windy snow;
But some must find their places filled
and strangers there, ween.
Or weeds upon the broken sill, the
night of Halloween.
Their feet are in the fallen leaves,
their signs are in the air;
They pull the muslin curtains by and
climb the creaking stair,
With scent of musty lavender, the
dusk and dawn between,
Take off the gates and let them
through-the COST Of Halloween.

INSECTS AND COLD.

Insects which spend the major por-
ton of their lives in torpid or semi
torpid state are but seldom injured
and never killed by being frozen. In
stances are numerous of travellers in
mountain regions finding beetles or
butterflies above the snow-line which
were frozen stiff and apparently stone
dead. However, when these same in
sects were carried down into the
warmer atmosphere of the valleys, or
into mountaineer's cabin, they COM
pletely revive in a very short time.
1t appears that their normal vital
powers are so low that degree of
cold that would prove fatal to a more
highly organized creature seldom
hurts them.
