SHOULD THEY FIGHTs
Not England and the United
States.
But Children Of All Ages and Conditions.
Timely ReinfOrcemeuts in the
Battle for Existence.

Perhaps you have an answer for us
to this question all ready. And per
haps we may disagree with you.
Listen to our side of the story. Is il
not terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth one-third OF
all children under five years of age
Yet this is the history Of the great
struggle in which we are all engaged
the battle of life Some children yield
at the first approach of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist
ence. In this sense, then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong.
We do not mean simply when theyNare
fat. Fat is not muscle. They need
strong bones, sound nerves and firm
muscles. The natural food for all in
fants is milk The fat OF this food,
the cream, exists in the milk as minute
globules, resembling in this respect
the minute globules of fat found in
Scott's Emulsion of Codliver Oil with
Hypophosphites There is also min
eral matter in milk, and it is in SCOTS
Emulsion as well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called "alter-
atives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nournished
body calls for fatty food, such as the
fat of cod-liver oil. These are the
reasons why SCOTS Emulsion has
proved so valuable to children. 1t re-
stores healthy action. 1t feeds. 1t
nourishes. Itsupplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly the Importance of these
few early years to future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to
bear raw cod-liver oil we'll 1t is so
difficult to digest. But the oil in
SCOTS Emulsion has already been
digested, and is, therefore, in condi-
ton to render prompt aid.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-liver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.

GOOD NEWS.

IHE REPRESENTATIVE is decked in
gala colors to-day, there ale harness
and harness and harness! And still
Mr.. H. A. Wallraff, president of the
Hard Times Harness company, of St.
Paul, was obliged to leave out over
one-half the cuts he would have in
serted, for lack of space.
We are proud; we are very proud! For
Mr.. Wallraff, with his usual frank
ness, tells US that he is literally de-
luged with orders. They come from
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana,
Idaho and Washington; Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska have done them,
selves proud. Even Virginia, far off
Virginia, goes to St. Paul for it's har-
ness!
The Harness company are up to the
times, and, if necessary, will engage
two, three or four pages to illustrate
their wares in our columns.
Once let your moss-backed business
man know chat this paper is the best
advertising medium in the state. and
our future is permanently secured.
Belize bub. with all his monopolis tic
hirelings, cannot down US, and we
grow stronger and stronger every day.
So GO on, boys, send in your orders,
faster and faster, until the panY's
quarters become too small.
Let the people know that you ap-
preciate good thing when you see it.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER.

The free-silver Democrats of Ohio.
led by A lien 6. Thurman, have just
held a state conference in which 40
counties were represented by dele
gates in person, and II more by letter,
and laid the foundat ton for very in
teresting scrap in the next state con-
vention. President Cleveland, and
possible candidate, Campbell, were
roasted t a turn for their gold bug"
procIiviLles, aud even the late Mr..
Brite came in for tOas ting. Or
course. this is not especially import
ant, except As it will have tendency
to divert Democratic attention from
what they profess to consider serious
differences in the Republican party IN
the money question. For it will make
little difference this year what posi-
ton the Democrats take on any Ques-
tion. They will have to run on the
record Of the Cleveland administra-
tiUn.-M;nneapOiis Tribune.
Never mind hooking the Free-Silver
Democrats. They will be in condition
to send delegates to the Bi-metaliic
convention which meets at St. Louis,
July %. And then we will wipe the
slate clean and open new accoui t.
The Free-Silver Democrats are a.l
right. I. D.

"BUSINESS ADMINISTRATI ON''
IN BLUE EARTH.

Blue Earth county, Minnesota, went
Republican in 1894 by two to one. We
are often told of the beauties of Repub-
lican business administration" A
county which gave the Republican can
dldate for governor at the last election
1896 votes, to 1898 for the Democrat and
LAP for the Populist, ought to be enjoy
ing heaven of business administra-
tion." But this is the present situation
OF the county finances, as reported by one
of the local papers, the Mankato Journal:
"The total receipts of this county for
1895 amounted to $4S,296.31 The ex-
penditures for the same time were $780,
449.42. A balance on the wrong side of
the ledger of $12,153.21, and every one of
the county funds overdrawn! That's the
situation today"
In other words, this business admin
1stratlon" in county overwhelmingly
Republican spends Is per cent more
money than it has funds to pay. Every
fund is overdrawn! What condition of
affairs is this in times like these, when
taxpayers are forced by necessity to
economic in every direction. While the
people have been curtailing their per-
sonal expenditures from 25 to so per cent
to exc out living and meet their debts,
this Republican business administra-
ton" has been overdrawing the county
funds $12,153 and increasing next years
taxes rs per cent to meet a deficiency.
The county auditors Office drew $5312,
and the treasurer's Office $3,3OO-the two
taking from the county $500, in rural
district where wheat sold at 40 to SO
cents bushel and oats at 10 to Is cents.
While the farmers were fighting against
mortgage foreclosure on the basis of 40
cent wheat, the Republican office holders
were drawing salaries on the basis of ST.
wheat, and overdrawing the treasury
at that. The seat of the trouble is sim
ply this, that the political machine in
power has no sympathy with the condi-
ton of the people, and does not repre-
sent them, or their needs and demands.
The county clique goes on the basis that
Business is politics, and politics is
business, and let the tax-bearing ami
mails carry their burdens"
The farmers and village taxpayers
have taken up the matter and propose to
see a change. The agitation of the Peo-
pies Party County League of Blue Earth
county for an honest and economical adj
ministration on basis such as the times
and the condition of the people warrant,
is having a good effect 1t should have
such a support that it will bear fruit of a
practical character. F. N. S.

MORE CITIZENS VICTORIES.

At the city elections which took
on Monday of this week, the indepen.
dent citizens movements we're sue
cessful in marked degree. The red
hot campaign in Fargo was a COM
plete victory for the citizens ticket,
supported by the POpulists and the
independent voters of other parties.
over the Republica ticket, supported
by the Republican machine and or
gans and railroad influence. The citi-
zens' candidate for mayor was elected
and the entire ticket save one alder
man. At Minot. the ticket supported
by the PEOPLES Party was victorious.
At Butte. the powerful combination
between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis was completely swamped by a
citizens movement. At dubuque, the
city administration, supported by the
saloons, gambling syndicate and dives,
together with the political machine
of the salary grab" aldermen, was
overthrown by a citizens movement
to the tune Of lao majority. At
jamestown, the city ticket supported
by the Peoples Party and citizens
movement prevailed by heavy vote,
This is as it should be. The strong
hold Of the old party machines in
many state is in the corrupt control
Of the cities. BY alliances with NUM-
cipal corporations, and the saloon and
dive influences, Republican and
Democratic bosses have secured con-
troll which extends to state and ma
tional politics. City government is
run on the tariff issue or the nation
ality racket, to the Generalization
both Of city government and of state
and national politics. Franchises and
bond issues and appropriations for
extravagant improvements are voted
away to powerful interests, and the
laws are overridden and spit upon by
weak and corrupt officials at the be-
hests of the saloon and dive elements.
These citizen movements, inspired by
the spirit of municipal reform, are
among the most healthy and whole
some symptoms OF the present time.
They prove that patriotic men are not
all dead yet. and that the spirit OF
l776 and 1861 still lives. F. Ms.

AN INTERNAL CONTEST.
QUARREL IN ST. PAUL BETWEEN
THE PEOPLES PARTY LEAGUE
AND THE CITY COMMITTEE

A QUARREL IN ST. PAUL BETWEEN
THE PEOPLES PARTY LEAGUE
AND THE CITY COMMITTEE.
Last week we gave place to a COM
munication from Mr. M. E. Murray, of
st. Paul, attacking Mr.. j. c. Hanley.
chairman of the Executive Committee
Of the Peoples Party State League Of
the 4th congressional district; and it
is only fair that he should have space
to reply and defend himself and the
action Of the local League.
We are sorry such differences should
arise. We believe this is the only one
in our organization in this state.
The voters Of the Peoples Party Of
ST. Paul should look into the merits
of this dispute and settle it at the
forthcoming Populist city convention.
If 1T be true. as charged by Mr. Han
ley, that our organization in St. Paul,
has been taken possession of by men
who are not members of the Peoples
Party, but followers of hostile organ
izations, the sooner the party purities
itself the better. No political party
can afford to have it's affairs run and
its offices filled by those who do not
belong TO lit. That means death and
