A STARTLING SUGGESTION,

WAS MINNESOTA COLONIZED WITH
CANADIANS IN THE RECENT
ELECTION.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the facts stated in our "St.
Paul Column" about the extraordin-
arily large number of Canadians who
made their appearance in a single pre-.
cinct of that city, wearing Mckinley
buttons, and presumably voting the
PlutCcfatic ticket.
The Republican party, as will an.
pear in an article from the New York
journal, quoted elsewhere in this pa
per, had Il corruption fund of sirteen
million dollarsv
What would be easier, with such re-
sources, than to colonize $4,000 Cana
dians in Minnesota? Suppose it cost
half million dollars? What is that
for a party with 5000, coo? And Min
nesota was regarded as pivotal state.
Let our friends look into this bust
ness. We want Mr.. Hanley, editor OF
the st. Paul Column. to inquire wheth.
er there was similar increase Of Can.
adam votes in other precincts of that
city, and let US have the facts.

GOOD NE VS.,

We had pleasant visit, just as we
go to press, from Capt. J. j. Hubbard,
Of Duluth, one of the best and noblest
and clearest-headed Populists in Min
nesota.
He tells US that the Republicans of
that city declare that Hon. Charles A.
M. c., is supporter of government
ownership of railroads and telegraph
lines, legal tender government notes,
the wiping out of the national banks,
and the whole Populist platform.
Good! If Charley stands by that
creed we will elect him to Congress in
1898. He is strong, honest man, not
a time-server and crawisher. He
goes forward and not backward. Sue
cess to him.
Mr.. Hubbard tells us that the Popu-
lists of Duluth cordially support The
REPRESENTATIVE; and want to see
the Owen gang Of marplots rooted
out. They have noticed that we have
been working, without reward, for
twenty years for Reform, while our
enemies have done nothing but corral
the nominations, and scheme to elm
mate one principle after the other of
our grand platform. We have no fur
ther use for such fellows as Aver and
Stacy and their whole kidney. Our
defeat in Minnes ota this year is clear
ly traceable to their TO lily and treach-

All INDEED.


The effort Of the Pioneer-Press to
produce prosperity by rubbing corn
salve on the toes of commerce, is
amusing.
We learn that day or two ago they
sent out horde of reporters to inter
view the St. Paul merchants, to OBJ
tain expressions from them, to show
that McKinley's election had indeed
brought back the era Of good times.
The wholesale merchants responded
according to their desires, for most of
them were interested in politics, on
the Republican side: but the retailers
had nothing but gloomy responses to
make. The sagacious Pioneer-Press
printed the rose-hued declarations of
the jobbers, but suppressed the lamen-
tations Of the retail dealers!
Great is the power of the public
press, as it strains the milk of public
opinions through the golden seive of

HARRY ROBINSON IN THE CON-
FESSIONAL.


The Railway Age of Chicago, is edit
ed by Tom Lowry's son-in-law, most
pernicious bulldozer of the railroad
workers, and a mostcunning conspira-
tor against free institutions. But
now that the spoils of victory are
assured Harry Robinson feels that
further lying is unnecessary, and so
we read:
Chicago, Nov. 23.-The RailwayAge,
in it's issue OF this week will publish a
summary Of reports received from
some 29O railway com panies and manu-
facturers in all parts Of the country
regarding the effect on business up to
date, Of McKinleys election. The
conclusions drawn from these reports
are as follows:
l. Has the railway business picked
up at all? We are compelled to an
swer: No; it has not. In all parts of
the West and Southwest it has even
been distinctly worse since election
than it was before. There has not
even been an increase in the little To-
cal passenger travel. Here and there
are isolated cases of increased activi-
ty, but looking at the country as a
whole, there has been no improve
ment beyond question by the reports
received.
Then Harry goes on to state that
the railroads have increased their ex-
penditures. But il there is no bust
ness they will soon retrench them
again. This is more of the lifting OF
yourself by pulling on your boot
straps!
The people have been deliberately
swindled and the swindle lasts for
four We arS more!

of the hall OF the House of Represen-

9Th of January, for public addresses,
on the questions of the day. from a
non-partisan standpoint. Among
