and on the knees of his mind. And
We hope no Populist editor, while
fighting Plutocracy, will make war on
God and his angels. He will tiGd that
Plutocracy believes just as he does;
and the deyil,-if there is one. and we
fondly hope there is. Gf for nothing
else than to provide warm, comfort
able retreat for the scoundrels who
are driving mankind into the depths
Of pagan cruelty and wretchedness),
the devil, we say, will deny God as
promptly as the Plutocrat. One Of
our old-party daily papers could be
transferred bodily to Sheol, edited by
Joe Wheelock or the ineXpressible
Piles, and run not the slightest risk
of being mobbed by the inhabitants
thereof for any Of its utterances.
This political revolution. inaugu-
rated by the Peoples Party, will, we
hope, be accompanied by moral revo-
luton as broad and sweeping as our
governmental reforms. You cannot
maintain Republic among a rotten
hearted race, without honor, man hood,
virtue. charity or justice:-mer hu-
man wolves, dressed in the habili-
ments Of civiliZation;-g de-
vourers. with their teeth full Of
meat and wool.
AS to 'Schilling, Coxey and Donnel-
ly' inaugurating the millennium. we
don't know what Bob and the Great
Commonwealth" intend to do; but for
our part we are content to edit THE
REPRESENTATIVE: and the world is,
we think, content to let us do so, for
the rest of our natural life. But we
will say this for Bob and CoXey that
they could not, if they had power,
inaugurate any condition of society
half as shameful as that which the
editor of "Amerika" is defending
And it is kind of pity that, after the
United States has taken this gentle
man to it's Osom, he should do the
best he can to stab it to the heart.

issued, on which the people will b.
taxed to pay millions of dollars OF
interest; and the banks will own the
bonds and issue bank notes on them
and lend the notes to the people al
high rates: and still other millions
will be trans ferred from the pockets OF
the producers to those Of the bankers
And this substitution of currency
bearing double interest, for cur
rency, (the best in the world,) bearing
no interest, is justified on the pre-.
tence that the greenbacks are used to
draw gold out Of the treasury. Well
who made gold so precious that ou1
creditors will not use silver, which
was money in this world thousands OF
years before these knaves were born:
The Republican party by the demone.
tiZatfon Of silver in 1873, and the
Democratic and Republican parties,
by stopping all demand for silver anG
driving it out of the minis, in 1893
And now they plead their own vii
lainy, as an excuse for the further vii
lainy Of Strengthening the people,
greenbacks, which saved the nation
life during the civil war, and turning
over these 7o,O0O,OOO people to thu
mercy of a lot of shyster bankers
who can draw the string around thei
necks, and reduce them to lowe
depths of wretchedness and degrade
tion than those they have alread
reached!
My God. 1t is awful And then to
think that this evil and terrible pow
er controls nearly all the newspapers
of this country. and the befogged peo-
pie 60 down to death dancing, anG
waving the American flag and sing
ing, Yankee Doodle!'
Men, Men of America. Men Of the
best bloods of all the nations Of the
earth! Are you ready to see your lib
critics perish? Isn't this country
thousand times better worth saving
than it was in 17762 Then men
fought, ragged and bare footed, against
the very power which is now Cypress
ing you. We don't ask you to carry
gun and face bullets. We ask that
you rouse up from your sleep, and
every man become proselyter of his
fellow men, to bring the light to their
half-closed eyes, and save the country
through the ballot-boxes.
Let one vast movement of energy
and zeal and patriotism spread over
the continent.

Il GREAT DISH PPOINT,MENT.

We are very, reTY sorry that Hast
ings loses the Fourth Insane Asylum,
after it had been fairy bestowed up
on her. The town has always man.
aged to vote against us, under the in.
Spiration Of old Chandler and the Mil
wauiee railroad company. But that
makes no difference now. We are out
OF practical politics forever;-and
rather ashamed Of the fact that we
were ever in them.
Hastings is entitled to some con-
sideration at the hands OF the state.
She is one Of the oldest cities of the
commonwealth; the depot Of magnif-
icent region; beautified by waterfall
as handsome as Minneahaha, and con-
tains great many excellent and in
telligent people. While in Congress
we made her the starting point of a
railroad across the whole breath Of
the state; but Lie Due sold her out for
a mess 4of potash, and she is now
hardly way-station on the line she
established. If we had continued in
public life we might have made her

important and great: but she thought
she 'could make a Mercury out of
any stick"
We were SO unsefish when draw
ing the bill for the road, we declined
to follow the suggestion Of friend, to
make it run through Niningcr, where
we lived and he'd properly. And
verify we have had our reward Hast
ings has dubbed Us over the head
ever since, whe never she got a chance.
Nevertheless we are sorry for her,
and would do anything we could to
help her.
We don't believe that tue commits
sion had right to take a second vote
II they had then they have an equal
right to take a third vote-and a
fourth-and fifth. They would have
a right to reconsider their action
when the buildings were half way up:
aud once more when they were put
ting the tops on the chimneys Such
a position is absurd. If the courts
sustain it then a position as commits
sioner on the location Of public build
ing, in Minnesota, will, hereafter, be
the fattest bonanza possible. They
could keep it up for six months, and
auction it about from one city to an
other, until every fellow had his
pockets lined. The trouble would be
that you could never call a halt on
them. A South-African Diamond de-
post, or Cripple Creek gold mine,
would be nothing to it,
We have fallen upon a rotten and
degenerate age but we don't think
our Supreme Court will ever sustain
such theory. When that commits
sion voted, and 4 majority Of the vote
was cast for Hastings the commission
was lunctus oticio-ous-se~pi You
might just as well try to reconsider
the vote by which Cleveland was cleo
ted president. We wish we could.
The vote would be unanim NOUS.

EDITOR REPRESENTATIVE.

t is just as the Populists pro-
phecied all along. The destruction OF
the peoples money, the grcenbacks,
and the substitution Of national bank
notes, bearing double interest, Gnter-
est on the bonds and interest on the
notes, is decreed; and the two old par
ties are working together for the
same end, while pretending to fight
each other. This is the real mean
ing Of all the Withdrawals Of gold
and shipping it to England 1t is now
alleged that the gold has never left
this country, but pig iron was shipped
in its place. 1t is question wheth-
er even the war scare was not pre-
arranged job to frighten Congress into
destroying the greenbacks. Cleve-
land and Carlisle are just the fellows
to enact such game in the interest
of Plutocracy.
The Repub licans have now got both
houses of Congress; the house by an
overwhelming majority and the SEN
ate they have organized by the help
Of gold-bug Democratic votes,
which refused to join the Popu-
lists in an effort to organ
lie on a free-silvcr basis. They
cannot shirk responsibility for the fu-
ture. They must formulate policies
and bring them to Cleveland on a
platter. It he rejects them then

The prospect that all the elements
