LAW IN THIS COUNTRY.

Washington, Nov. 3O-The supreme
court has dismissed the writ Of error
in the case Of Eiverton r. Chapman,
the New York broker, charged with
violating the statutes in refusing to
answer questions put by the senate
Sugar Trust nvestigating committee
two years ago. This makes it neces-
Sary for Chapman to serve his sem
tence, at least technically. He will
doubtless be promptly surrendered by
his bondsmen, and the case again car
ried to the supreme court on habeaS
corpus proceedings, to test the cOnSti-
nationality Of the act on which the
prosecution is based.
Observe the beautiful workings Of
our American system of law. Con-
gress said he must testify as to the
bribery of some of the senators in the
Sugar Trust case. Chapman said he
would not. Congress sentenced him.
Chapman appealed to the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court decided
against him. Now Chapman will ap-
peal again to the Supreme Court upon
the uncons titutionality Of the law un-
der which he was prosecuted. If the
court sustains that law, after two or
three more years, and Congress does
not repeal the law, in the meantime,
Chapman may take another appeal on
the constitutIonality Of Congress, or
the consttutionalty Of the constitu-
ton, or the government ia bility of the
government.
There is no law which puts the rich
10 in, ho
United States except that which is
so promptly administered in the Court
Of Judge Lynch. That great jurist
hangs the defendant and leaves his
pOSterity to raise technical questions
as much as they please for ten years

WHY SHOULD THE Y.

It may be thought that we are
actuated by hostile feelings towards
our recent allies, the Democracy,
when we protest against the Owen
Lynhc- Hodgson scheme to all Join
the Democratic party. We have
nothing but the kindest feelings, TO-
wards our brethren of the old Jeffer.
sonian and Jacksonian party; but the
Peoples Party was nearly altogether
made up of men formerly Republi-
cans, and entertaining the most in
veterate prejudices against the De-
mocracy. To ask our people now to
break ranks, and march in body into
the Democratic camp, would result in
twC-thirdS Of them marching, right
about face, into the Republican camp.
Indeed the strongest argument the
Republican orators have had against
US for years past has been that we
were simply Democrats in disguise;
and now we are asked to drop our own
party name and principles and enter
into complete and permanent union
with the Democrats, and thus confirm
all these charges.
Even the Democrats do not ask us
to do anything of the kind. They
have sense enough to perceive that
the best way to make this state eter-
nally Republican is to contract the is
sue to battle with the Democracy
alone. How the spell-binders would
riot and luxuriate in revamping all
their old harangues about the civil
war and Buchanan and Vallandigham
and the Knights of the Golden Circle,
and Free Trade, ETC., ETC., etc. Any
such course would be rank suicide for
both Populists and Democrats.
But all this is in keeping with the
craftsmanship Of that profound intel
lect, which, while claiming to be-
Populistic. opposed greenbacks, the
organization Of the Peoples Party,
Free-Silver and the Initiative and the
Referendum.
Where is the Fool-Kller? There is

The Pops say the Republicans ex-
pended $4,UO0,000. Well that was only

would be hard to estimate. 1t is i'm
mense and cash transaction, not a
promise.-Yankton Is. d. Gazette.
This is an astonishing statement!
We knew that Mark Hanna was
"hard case" but we had no idea he was
wicked enough to destroy the greater
part Of the wheat crop in Russia,
Australia and India, and bring mil
lions to starvation. And yet, accord
ing to the YanktOn Gazette, he has
caused the rise in the price of wheat;
and as the rise is due to the failure of
the crops. and the situation of the
people in other countries, Mark and
the Republican party must have done
it.
1t would be only right to turn them
over to the Russians, Australians and
Hindoos for punishment. A power
great enough to starve millions ought
not to be allowed to live in this
world.

only lying.

tie Is out In a letter in which he says
that issue is too narrow and that the
vital proposition to be next taken up
is the issue of paper money in virtual
ly unlimited quantities. The struggle
from now until 1900 between the
numerous aSpirants for presidential
honOrs, under the St. Louis dispensa-
ton, will be to see who can take the
most extreme and fantastic position
on the money questiun;and before the
next freak convention meets Bryan
may be considered far too conserva-
tive.-MinneapoliS Tribune.
The ex-governor is sensible. In
stead of going back, into the womb Of
unprogressivencss, like Owen, Lynch,
ct al, Gov. Boies is pushing ahead for
wider principles and broader plat
form. Revolutions never, never, go

THE WORK PROGRESSING.
THE BANKERS VICTORY.


We have told our readers time and
again that the whole conflict, now
waged by the Republican party, is in
the interest of the banking class;
that they are the power behind the
throne; that they intended to wipe
out the greenbacks, and substitute
their own bank notes; to hoard the
gold and ostracise the silver; so that
there would be no money in this
country. for the transaction OF bust
ness, until the people had first borrow
ed it over bank counter; and as
long as it continued in circulation it
must bear interest. taken from the
millions, and given to a few hundred
bankers.
Well, the people, under the inspira-
ton Of the expenditure of $4,000, 900
of corruption fund. and bowls about
an unrealizeable prosperity, have
agreed that this is the right thing to
do, and we begin to see the prelim-
mary steps to made it an actuality.
Read this:
Washington, Dec. 3.-There is now
pending before the finance committee
of the Senate bill INTRODUCED by
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota. amend
ing the present laws in reference to
national banks.
1t may be accepted by the finance
committee this winter and pass the
Senate. Ii enacted into law, the bill
would remedy many existing evils un.
der which the currency system suffers
now.
Senator Nelson's bill, in brief, pro-
poses to make the notes of issue Of ma
tional banks payable in gold cSin on
demand, and they shall be made le-
gal tender in payment of all debts,
public or private, and De accepted for
customs and taxes. In order to make
the notes equally as valuable as the
gold itself, which it is supposed to rep
resent, Mr.. Nelson's bill provides that
every national bank shall keep Ger
tain gold deposit in the treasury OF
the United States. At the first OF
every month, it Is to be the duty Of
treasury department to make state
ment to each national banking aSsOci-
alton of the amount, if any, of the
notes of issue redeemed in gold dur
ing the preceding month, providing
such redemption shall exceed the sum
Of $500. And each bank is required to
Immediately forward to the United
States treasury sum equal to that
redeemed by the presentation of the
gold demand notes.-St. Paul Dis
patch.
At present the national bank notes
are not legal-tender; no one can be
forced to take them. They are redeem.
able in greenbacks in not gold; but
as the greenbacks are to be destroyed
then the banks must redeem in gold.
In considerat ton therefore of their
doing what they would be obliged to
do, they propose that the national
bank notes.-the promises of Individuals
shall become legal tenderll
And they will accomplish it. They
did not elect Mckinley for nothing.

PURIFY THE ARMY.

In our exchanges it is quite notice
able that many are busy washing
dirty linen and airing grievances that
are a month old. There is no use in
crying over split milk and there is no
use embittering the minds of the peo-
pie by INDUCING in ordinations and
denominations. Let us all pull off our
coats and go after the enemy.-Non-
conformst.
This looks plausible on it's face, but
let US consider it. What did General
Grant do when he was called East to
take command of all our armies, and
especially the army of the Potome. G?

done this he would have been defeat

It is very easy to say "pull off your
coats and 90 after the enemy" but
how IL some of your own officers are
in sympathy with the enemy, and will
steal your coats while you are fight
ing?
You can do nothing with a traitor;
and if you cover up his faults, and
leave him where he can stab the cause
Of right you are yourself bigger trail
tor than he is.
There will be no election for two
years, and the best thing we can do
now is to look after the laundry work,
and wash the dirty linen; and if any of
it is too rotten to wash put it in the
stove and burn it up. Then when the
next fight comes off we can go into it
with clean shirts on our backs and if
we have to die we will at least make

in their greed for gold, gathering up
the bank notes and presenting fifty or
one hundred million Of them at the
Treasury Department and demanding
gold for them? And ii the gold is not
forthcoming the banks will go down
like row of bricks, and the country
be left absolutely without money OF

A FEW QUESTIONS ANS WERED.

=
We have received the following let
ter:
Editor Representative:
We are all anxious to know who is
our next governor, we take two dailies
and six or seven weeklies and have
failed, etc., for 10 find out the official
vote in this state for governor: will
you give it to us in the next issue Of
your valuable paper. Also will you tell
US how our governor pronounceS his
name. Some here call it Cluff, some
Glow; please give US the right pronun-
citation of 1t. Mckinley had too much
money to work for him for our party.
Many farmers in this county left our
party because of the name Democrat
at the head of 1t. The Republicans
made them think that they were
and that scared them, so they left the
Peoples Party and voted for McKin-
ley and the Republican party straight.
We remember Of seeing you only
once, that was when you were on the
Republican ticket for Lieut.. Cover
nor. You were called a very smart
man then by all the Republican pa
pers but since you left that part they
can say nothing too bad about you.
Yours truly, W. H. ingalls,,
ingalls,, MINI.
We would reply:
elected. John Lind ran nearly 5000
votes ahead Of Bryan. He ought to
have been elected, and probably will
be in 1898. AS soon as the official
count is made we will give the precise
figures in The REPRESENTATIVE.
2. The Governor pronounces his
name as if written "Cluff." Bill
Washburn is writing a poem about
him, in which he makes his name
rhyme with tough" and trough"
and slough" and cup to snuff"
B. We note what you say, that our
defeat in Minnesota was due to the
prejudice which exists among many
old Republicans, against the Demo-
Gratis. We get the same news from
all parts OF the state. The whole
fight was made to turn on the ancient
record of the Democracy, during the
civil war and since. This was largely
S. NJ. Owens work. He with others,
his friends, forced the party to give
up, at St. Louis, its distinct organiza-
tion, and merge with the Democrats.
If we had had two parties running in
Minnesota, cooperating on electors,
we would have swept the state. But
it was hard to make the common peo-
pie understand, when we adopted the
Democratic candidate for president,
that we were not Democrats, pure
and simple.
A fool can do more harm in a day
than thousand sensible men can re-
pair in year.
4. Never mind what the enemy
says about the editor of The REPRE-
SENTATIVE. The most stones and
clubs are always found under the best
apple-trees. We are living force and
the fools fight us on instinct. And we
are not running for anything either.

properties, and abuse don't hurt US.
