out of politics. In his paper this week
the distinguished scholar declares that
he will. sheath his sword and that after
forty years Of fighting for the people, he
will retire from the arena to fight no
more. He says that he will support
Bryan In his campaign and that his po-

retirement from political activity, Dom

the faculty Of arousing opposition even

in many ways the greatest son of Mime

have read your humiliation by the
Minnesota delegation, and am truly
sorry. Not because think it has injured
you, but because it will hurt the Populist
cause
/ cannot believe the narrow minded,
selfish delegation from your state at St.
Louis, voiced the sentiments Of the labor
ing masses from the great state of Min
nesota.
Surely the people from the wheat fields
Of Minnesota, with the sweat OF honest
labor upon their brow, have mot turned
their back upon the only man who has
had the courage-the sublime genius; to
defend their cause until he has obtained
the recognition and appreciation Of all
the people who sympathize with right.
Surely the people Of your state have
not stultified the fair name Of Minnesota
before the reform forces Of the world; by
turning down the only genius their state
has produced in the peoples cause.
We do not believe the Minnesota dele
cation represented the desires Of her peo-
pie. We will not believe 1t. Minnesota
owes her position before the reform
forces Of the world today-not to her
work in the cause-but to your sublime
genius.
You have made her what she is, and
now her chosen representatives turn and
rend you.
Her Lilliputian warriors-Owen, Hall

At the st. Louis Calvary they have

treachery, they have offered this great
soul vinegar and gall, in the shape c1
fattering resolutions.
But take courage, brave Donnelly. The
great heart Of the people throbs in gym
pathy for you. The great masses Of the

Editor Representative.
A strong current of patriotism formed
in the Peoples Party convention In St.
Louis, that threatens to break Its limit,
and flood our land from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Lake Of the Woods; the fountain of
our national feeling are broken up, and the
gates of hell cannot prevail against them.
We can but think that the delegates must
have gone home with the satisfaction that
they had done their duty as they saw it;
and we hope it will be said Of these brave
men that they did 1t well; and that their
actions taken, and platform adopted. will
rebound to the success OF the cause and.

BIG SHOE FIRM FAILS.

Assets at $500, 600.

Liabilities Placed at S325.OOO and
Assets at $500. 600.
c. H. Fargo & Co., wholesale dealers in
and manufacturers of boots and shoes, at
196 TOGO Market street, IA Jackson street
and Dixon, Ill.,, failed yesterday after
noon. The liabilities are estimated ct
$4,000, and assets 100000. The fail
ure was brought about by two confess
sions Of judgment in the federal court,
Judge Seaman sitting, and one in the CTR
cult court. The federal court actions
were brought by the United States Rub
Der Company and L. Condee & Co., east
ern creditors of the firm, and that in the
circuit court by the Metropolitan Nation
al Bank, of which e. G. Keith is presi-
dent. The claims Of the United States
Rubber Company and Condee & Co. ag-
gregate $4,000, and of the Metropolitan
National Bank, $25,25O.
President Keith, Of the Metropolitan
National Bank, left the city yesterday
morning for weeks absence, and the
reason for the banks action could not be
ascertatned It was said that the Metro
politan had been very kind to the Fargo
brothers, and that its claim represented
overdrafts. The bank Is reported to have
learned from secret sources that the
United States Rubber Company and the
Condee concern intended to force the
Fargos to the wall, and in protection of
it's own interests took a Judgment note
from the firm on Aug. 5, and secured the
judgment yesterday afternoon. Quickly
as the bank acted, it was not in advance
of these two most prominent eastern
creditors, who, not finding federal judge
in the city to act for them, telegraphed to
Milwaukee for Judge Seaman. He ar
rived late in the afternoon, and by 5
o'clock deputy United States marshal
had closed the Market street establish
ment. A few moments later a deputy
sheriff arrived representing the Metro

New Orleans, Aug 6-The American
National Bank of this city suspended to-
day. It had paid up capital stock Of
100000, and on this declared q dividend
thirtyseven days ago. The cause of the
failure is attributed to the procrastina-
ton of Secretary Carlisle in not paying
the sugar bounty claims. The bank, it
is said, advanced literally on these
claims, and the delay in their payment
squeezed it heavily. The bounty checks
were sent out from Washington today,
just too late to do good.
