HO! FOR ST. LOUIS.
ATTEND THE GREAT NATIONAL
CONVENTION OF THE PEO-
PIES PARTY.
The Committee on Railway Trans.
pOrtation and Entertainment
Make Partial Report.

Editor Representative:
The committee on Railways, Trans
portation and Entertainment have had
several meetings and have completed a
part of their work. After a thorough in
vestigation of the railway facilities the
length of route, time needed in making
the trip to st. Louis, and the beauty of
the scenery on the way the committee
concluded to give the preference to the
Albert Lea route, over the Minneapolis &
st. Louis railway, and have completed ar
rangements with that road. The details
OF the transaction, such as the number
and kind of coaches, how many, if any,
we will need as sleepers at st. Louis, are
left until a later date when we will be in
position to know more definitely the
wishes of our people. We have not made
any arrangements with the hotels in St.
Louis and Minneapolis, but will state
that satisfactory arrangements will be
completed in time
Our committee will be at all railway de-
pots in Minneapolis to receive the vari-
Gus congressional delegations of the state
and the state delegations from the Dako-
tas, Montana, Washington and Oregon
and Wisconsin. whom we expect to arrive
in our city on the day previous to start
ing from this point for ST. Louis. The
committee will do all in it's power to
make the day pleasant for those who ar
rive early. 1t is thought that the "spe-
cial" which will bear our combined dele
cations, and we hope the delegations of
the silver people, will start from this city
1880 p. m. Monday. Goth of July. and that
it will arrive at about 9 o'clock the next
morning in st. Louis, thus making one CT
the quickest trips from the Twin Cities
ever made. Our train will be beautifully
decorted and music will be furnished by
one of the best bands in the state, will
enliven the journey.
If found necessary we will send an adj
vance agent to st. Louis to locate head
quarters for the Minnesota delegation
and such other from the Northwest as
may wish our services.
We wish, through your paper, The Rep
resentative, and all other Populist papers
to extend a most cordial invitation to all
friends of reform, whether elected as del
egates or not, to join us in visiting the
most important political convention since
the Sos.
With your kind permission and the
permission of the press throughout the
Northwest, we will make our announce
ments from week to week. By giving
this as prominent place IN your excel
lent paper as possible you will oblige
yours very respectfully,

Ind, last week in which it was stated that
an understanding had been had whereby the
Populists Of every state in the union would
support the candidate of the Chicago con-

There is absolutely no truth IN such
statement and Popul:sts should not be de-
ceived thereby. 1t was evidently started,
like good many other stories, for the pur-
pose OF creating dissention within our
ranks

The World Has Waited !
Thousand Years for This

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed,
but men are slow to believe.
The way is open to inquire, to investigate.
Why will not every man do so?
There is a simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins Of youth and
the excuses Of later years which blast the
lives of multitudes Of men.
There is way to regain strength lost BY
disease, overwork and worry.
way to secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to disspation-to "be glad again
after suffering an atonement."
way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
way to give fun strength, development
and tone to every portion of the body.
way to remove every obstacle to happy
and fruitful married life
All this is clearly shown in little medical
work recently published. 1t is not book
for general circulation, being purely medical
and scientific and for men only who need ad.
vice and aid.
How to get it: Write to the Erie Medical
Company. Niagara Street, Buffalo, N. Y, say
you read the article in this paper, and ask
them to send you the book called Complete
Manhood, and the Way to Attain It" They
will send one copy entirely free, in a plain
sealed wrapper, to any man who writes foz
1t in good faith.

A Gigantic Combination.

CHICAGO, January A.-After two days
session behind closed doors officers Of
more than thirty great railroad systems
formed gigantic association in this city
last evening. The organization will be
known as the Central Passenger COM
mittee, and will include all the present
roads in the territory bounded by Toronto,
Buffalo and Pittsburg on the east,
Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis on the
west, the Grand Trunk railway Of Canada
and Lakes Huron and Michigan on the
north, and the Ohio river on the south.
The association will have absolute
jurisdiction and control over all passen-
ger affairs in this big territory, and will
be entirely independent Of and in no way
subsidiary to the presidents joint traffic
pool, the operation Of which the inter
state commerce commission is now
attempting to enjoin at New York.
The headquarters Of the new organiza-
tion will be in Chicago, from which point
all passenger matters in the above
territory will be directed. Under the
agreement signed, each road will be
subject to fines for violation Of rules,
cutting rates, or any other infraction
Of its provisions. Questions which can
not be settled by the chairman will
be referred to arbitration.
The differentisl fare principle is recog-
nized by the new agreement, which meaus
that there will continue to be two classes
of roads in this territory, the standard
and the differential lines.

to give labor useful service to society
it's entire product free Of toll or tax
for IsbOr's cWn use and enjoyment.
The best intentions are worthless for
this purpose when not aided by accur.
ate knowledge Of how labor is now de-
spoiled of it's products.
Political economy-ss the term im.
plles-is the science Of the industrial
relations of each man to his fellows,
or Of the individual to the public, as q
producer and consumer of wealth.
TO produce and consume wealth is the
one great business of earth, and the
only business of the vast majority Of
mankind. Nearly all legislation has
reference to mans industrial interests
as @ producer or consumer, hence all
legislators should have @ thorough
knowledge, or at least some knowledge
Of economic science. 1t has been the
lack Of this knowledge by our national
and State legislators, rather than de-
prsVity, which has concentrated the
wealth and power wealth Is power Of
all the people in few thousand hands.
We compel doctors, lawyers, drug.
gists, teachers and others who serve
the people in comparatively unimpor-
tant matters, to have an education
qualifying them to perform their
duties, but In the vastly more impOr.
tsnt matter of legislation, which affects
the interests and makes or mars the
lives Of the masses, we exact no prep
sration or educational qualification
whatever. Is this WiseP DO not the
lamentsble results prove the contrary ?
Do we hire a blacksmith to mend q
watch or a jeweller for a surgeOnP
Why should not Legislators be COM
pelled to show qualification for their
workP Until they are compelled we
must continue to suffer.

YeneEuela's Title.
We0lth.

1t was on the coast of Venezuela that
Columbus first set foot upon the Ameri-
can mainland. This was in 1893, on the
occasion Of his third voyage in quest of
q new world. By virtue of discovery and
the conquest Of the Indian tribes which
up to that time had been It's only in
habitants, the country passed into the
possession Of Spain, and that nation
retained undisputed control until the
Venezuelans revolted in 1910. Venezuela
had then grown to be quite power. Its
people were rich and brave, and although
Of Spanish descent, rebelled against the
exactions OF the mother land. Long
years Of war followed, and while the
victory was virtually won in 1921, Spain
was able to delay recognition of the in
dependence Of the country until 1916.
With independence from foreign control
came internecine strife, growing out Of
the various aspirants for political power
and place, and there was series of
revolutions and civil wars lasting almost
to the close Of 1870. But during all this
time no country except England thought
Of questioning the right of the Venezue-
lans to the possession of the land. The
title is clear one, so lawyers say. Spain
obtained it by the discovery Of the
country and subiugation Of the natives,

Who Are the Anarchists

A speech made by Mayor Swift, of
Chicago, before the aristocratic Com
mercial Club Of that city, was one of the
most wholesome bits Of truth-telling that
has been heard for some time. One of
the speakers charged the city government
with extravaganza, and Mayor Swift re-
piled as follows:
"The present Mayor has within sixty
days vetoed half a dozen ordinances
passed by your representatives giving
space in the streets to property owners.
Who is it that comes into the Common
Council and asks for such privileges?
Who is it that are accused of offering
bribes for such franchises? 1t is the
same ones-the prominent citizens.
Talk about anarchy; talk about breeding
the spirit of communism! What does it
more than the representative citizens
Of Chicago? Your high-toned business
men, your patriotic men, your prominent
citizens Of Chicago, are the men who
knock at the door of the Council and
ask for illegal franchises. 1t is not the
common people.
"Who bribes the Common Council?
It is not men in the common walks of
life. 1t is men in your own walks of life,
sitting by your firesides, at your clubs.
Who is responsible for the condition Of
affairs in the city of Chicago? Your
representative business men. If an
assessor grows rich while in office, with
whom does he divideP Not with the
common people. These are plain words,
but they are true"
One Of the members of the club said
that a majority Of those present indorsed
the Mayors utterances. Common
