THE BfJOU.

Following Siberia" at the Bijou is
announced a return to farce comedy and
an eXcellnt attraction of this order is
promised in the initial visit to this city
of Ferguson and limerick in the new
laugh creation, "McSorley's Twins" AS
is customary with the majority of farce
comedies, this one claims no special
prestige as regards plot or story but is
said to contain sufficient of that element
to make perfect it's coherency and Sc
Quence.
"McSorley's Twins was especially de-
signed for Ferguson and limerick and
consequently affords them excellent op-
portunities for display of their comedy
talents. They are promised to be as
sisted by thoroughly capable company
among whom are a number of speciality
artists Of national reputation. The music
of the skit is said to be bright, and new,
the comedy clean and the vaudeville
features decidedly attractive
Lovers of music, pantomime and scenic
effects will have treat in the produc-
tion of Eight Bells" which will be seen
in this city early in January. The spe-
cies Of entertainment, especially the
trick property part of it has an abiding
hold upon theatre goers of high and low
degree and helps to prove the assertion
that we are all children when the appro-
pirate moment comes around.

Having seen IN your advertisement
in the NOnconfcrmiSt,t that The REP
RESENTATIvE is the great reform pa
pc: OF the Northwest, and being de-
sirous Of subscribing for true reform
paper as see it, one that upholds and
breaches Populist principles from the
St. Louis platform, and not one that
accepts the monetary platform Of the
Chicago platform, and does all within
it power to help the Democrats to get
into power and aid. them in getting
the Spoils of office. Four years ago, on
the 4th of July, the true refOrmers met
in convention in this city and fOrmu-
lated set of principles that have
never before been eQualled in the his
tory of this nation by any political
party, and were rewarded for the work
by having the satisfaction Of seeing
more than 100000 patriots, with the
courage of only true reformers, cast
their votes for true reform. In st.
Louis they proved their faith in the
self same principles by readopting
what are practically the same as those
adopted at Omaha. in the meantime
having grown to over 100000 voters,
and today it is my firm belief that the
Peoples party, with straight out and
out reformers as candidates, and no
fusion, would poll over 1900, 900 votes.
And this grand army Of honest Ameri-
cans will continue to grow, and four
years hence, with an early convention
and by nominating pure, clean and
consistent Populists, who believe in
and preach true reform principles,
that is, who thew to the line, let the
chips fall where they may we will
achieve glorious victory by sweeping
this country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from the Gulf Of Mexico
to the border of Canada, and the bat
tie cry of equal rights to all, and spe-
cial privileges to none" will be heard
in every city, town, village and ham
let in this country, and when the sun
rises upon the Twentieth century it
will shine upon nobler people and a
more blessed nation than any other on
earth. Knowing that our doors are
open for all honest Democrats, Repub-
licans, Prohibtionists, Socialists and
all others, l certainly am opposed to
combining with tile Democratic or
any other party, except on the St.
Louis platform and no other. Yours
for true reform.

notorious fact that our city engineer

70 years. This is the mode: The mayor
appoints two members of the Board of

term is for three years. he overlaps the

newly elected administration under
peculiar and advantageous obligations
to himself, so much so that he secures
another term of three years and so on

THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.


Broaden the Platform-Put Full Ticket in the
Field.
Editor Representative:
hope the conference at St. Louis,
Feb. p, 81. becomes fact. 1t is high
time we were getting together. When
this is done we should make the fight
for the whole people, not the farmer
alone.
Municipal ownership OF street rail-
ways, waterworks and the light sup
ply Is as necessary as governmental
ownership of railroads and telegraphs.
Each stands upon the same broad
ground of public necessity.
The Glasgow system of municipal
tenement houses is as full of meaning
to the poor of our cities as the mort
gage problem to our farmers. Both
classes of men deserve our aid. Let
us also broaden tie money plank Of
our platform so it will include the
money question entire. In fact / feel
that we should educate along the lines
OF complete system Of government, for
four years. and then get statesman
to draft a platform for US. The last
81, Louis patchwork is libel on the
intelligence and good intentions of
our party. 1t writes us down as COW
ards and trimmers, when the rank and
file are neither. We want the plat
form broad enough to cover every
crime under which we are laboring,
and to provide remedy: or at least
method by which it may be remedied.
If things go as they are now by 1900
the cry will be against all monopolies,
and no harm can come by Investigate
ing them earlier. Then let us get in
to the fight OF once. educate for four
years, hold our national convention
early and put full ticket in the field

THE PRISONER OF ZENDA."

Conspicuous among the seasons
theatrical events at the Metropolitan
will be Daniel Frohman's latest Lyceum
success, 1.-The Prisoner of Zenda," next
Monday evening. The play is said to be
most interesting and worthy Of liberal
patronage. 1t does not depend on the
popularity of the novel, however, for
success; it would be a success had the
book never been written. Of but few
demonstrations can this be said. The
strength Of the whole story is summed
up in the one short passage:
''If love were the only thing"
This sentiment permeates the book,
making it's tender love story grand
passion and it plays an even greater part
in the stage version made by Edward
Rose.
The production is invested with ali the
scenic splendor and appropriate cos
tunes with which the original prnduc-
ton was made at the Lyceum Theatre
and the parts are in the. hands of COM
petent artists.

In these hard times every man is
looking around for some new outlet to
pros perity, not already taken possess
sion OF by a Ring or Combine. We
find the following in recent mum bel
Of the Chicago Times Herald:
Let some of our young men look in
to this:
more than one attempt has been
made In this country to breed in con-
finement quails for market. None
has succeeded. An Englishman now
claims to have accomplished what has
heretofore been considered an im Dos
sibility. At his farm near Nuneaton,
England. it is asserted by reputa Bile
English journal, he has 5000 breeding
QuailS In stock, from the produce of
which he sends 600 young birds week
~ to London during the season. The
breeder tells very frankly OF his
methods OF fattening, but refuses to
reveal the secret of his success in
Matching. He keeps fifty brood quails
In each Enclosure, and claims that
they nest regularly like barnyard
IoWls. The young are always in vari-
Gus stages OF growth, from those Of
The size OF sparrow to those tit to be
olSpatched to market He feeds them
upon boiled wheat and malt while in
process OF growth, and upon moist
corn exclusively few days before
they are killed. When full-grown the
domestic bred quails attain to twice
the size Of the wild sort on account of
the profusion OF fattening food given
them. The price obtained by the
grower is l shilling for each bird
This is third more than is paid for
the ordinary kind. The 600 young
SOLD every week bring him in e30-
$l30-wlilc all the expenses of rearing
and handling amount TO only Gl0--

ENCOURAGING.

We are glad to sec that Wharton
Barker, the able editor Of that great
er.Thc Philadelphia American n, has
broadened the scope OF his political
philosophy,a and perceives that there is
something more at issue than the
free-cOiDage of silver. In the last is
sue OF his paper he says:
We have been beaten but not cru h-
ed. Defeated, We have been, but
| r. uted-nO. Tue struggle Tor the
emanclpat lon OF our producing classes
viii go on, but it must be fought out
on broader lines. The saddling of the
approaching gold standard on our
people is but OLe OF the encrOach-
| nentS Of the money cliques on
Our people. We must meet their en-
croachments at all points. Every
where We must stand prepared to
| combat the aggressionS OF centralized
capital. The telegraphs have been SO
| controlled as to falsi1y news OF vital
| import to our producing classes; they
have been directed in the interests of
| the moneyed ciiques and to the pre-
JUDGE OF our people. Correction Of
| these evils is demanded. Corpora
tions of Lublic or semi-public nature
must not be used to promote private
| ends. They have public service to
perform. and this service they must
De made 10 perform without prejudice
or preference. II the private corpo-
| rationS that control our avenues of
| communication and transportation
| will not perform the services demand
| ed OF them without discrimination
| then it becomes the duty of the
government GO assume the control of
such corporations. II private corpo-
| ratlOns insist on operating our tele-
graphs and railroads for their private
| enGs, and to the prejudice Of the pub
lie interests, it becomes the duty of
! the government to operate Succ COM
| panieS SO as to promote the general
veal
Our railroads, our telegraphs, our
banks, all corpora tions OF a public ma
ture and with duties to perform for
the public, have been turned into en-
gines Of speculation, have been used
TO enrich those who control them at
the expense Of those whom they
should serve. They enjoy public fran
| they owne to the public. We have had
striking instance Of this disregard
of public duties on the part Of the
sion OF the election returns. Such re-
turns, and only such returns have
been promptly transmitted to the
public as The money cliques control
ling the wires have seen fit to trans
nit. Such control Of the telegraph
wires cannot be tolerated. 1t is
against the entertainments on the
rights of our people OF these semi-pub-
lie corporations that we must guard.
TIE saddling Of the appreciating gold
standard on our people is the most
far-reaching OF all the encroachments
OF the moneyed Oh e ,rchy on the liber
ties OF our people. But is not the on
ly CncrOachment. We must bend our
efforts not only TO secure reversal Of
the verdict that has saddlcd the ap-
prcciating gold standard on our peo-.
pie but SO as to combat the encroach.
mentS Of the money power at all
points.
Ali of which is very sensible and
very encouraging.

LONG TERMS OF OFFICE.
Sheriff Wagncr-The Failure of the
Minnesota Bank-The Alliance
Cnnv.An<iOv,
Edited by J. G. HANLEY

L Il
Minnesota Bank-The Alliance
Convention.
Sheriff WAGNER at this date has not
announced his staff of deputies. As
there are so many anxious hearts desir-
ing to know whether they will be Gin
1t" or not, it seems almost cruel to keep
up the suspense any longer.
The near approach of the opening of
the Legislature is creating quite ripple
OF excitement and activity among the
politicians who are figuring to secure
the honorable and lucrative positions In
the gift of the new Legislature.
There will be some very excellent bills
introduced in the coming session of the
Legislature. Among which will be a
bill to limit all elective and appointive
offices In the state, county and munici-
patty to two years. 1t is outrageous
how certain clique of public officials
secure their appointment by long terms
Of three to eight years. While we lay
no claim to legal interpretation of the
law yet it seems to us that the decis-
sion which the supreme court handed
down in the Seeger gasoline contract
with the city Of st. Paul would be a
precedent Of competent authority to
combat the proposition that the appoint
i've or elective body could not enter into
contract with any person or corporation
for period longer than their term of
office. 1t seems to us that this is what
lawyers call good law and if it applies
in one instance to invaldate the life
OF a contract, the same proposition
should apply to OfficehOlders who re-
ceive an appointment to an office of four
or six years by the executive officer Of
the state or city, usually the governor or
mayor whose office is only two year
term. This condition of affairs is liable
to lead to gross abuse of such officers
whose long term overlaps each succeed
ing administration and as experience
has taught that those very abuses which
are often the cause of the defeat Of the
existing administration are the very
