In speaking of the newly constituted

commercial nations. Decreased produc-
tion of silver has turned thousands of
silver miners to gold prospecting and

ing and milling of gold-bearing ores offer
the promise of profit in the case of many

sidered not worth working. Further dis

The people of Kings County have dis
covered that because the county is new it

families have settled therein and produced
a gratifying development. The Hanford
Democrat has this to say: "Hanford wants
a beet sugar factory, she wants the Valley
railroad, and settlers to occupy lands
south of this city. None OF these things
can be had by sitting down with folded
hands. What is wanted is an active asso-
citation of business men to push such en-
terprises and objects. While our city has
a good name abroad, it is singular fact
that when Kings County is mentioned the
listener will almost invariably ask where
the county is located. Our people want to
do some advertising, and when Kings
County becomes as familiar word as
Hanford there will be rush Of people

Wall Street is not quite salts

strength lies in the west, and the
eastern dudes are getting afraid
that Mac might feel so independ

that he might not do everything

There is no doubt that Mckinley

prospective presidential candi-
dates in the Republican camp.
He is the only one of them thatpos-
sesses any popular magnetism,
and he is the only one that is not
absolutely under the domination
of Wall Street. That much is
now becoming evident to all.
Wall Street magnates know
this better than anybody and
they are going to defeat him in
the convention if they can, and if
they cannot some Democrat
probably Cleve]and--is going to
be put up to beat him at the
polls, as Blaine WAS beatenin 1884.
Let no one imagine that such a
thing is impossible, to beat him
if he is nominated. Blaine was
supposed to be invulnerab}e, but
he was not. The National Banks
rule this land and will elect man
to suit them at all hazards. They
know no political party utilization
except it serves their interest.
But Mckinley will probably new

From Burbank.

Editor Willmar Tribune:
Dear Sir:-In the supplement to your
issue of March 31st, DR.. Johnson
serves notice to the populists of Kand-
iyohi county that he must not be de-
pended upon for campaign work Of
any kind. He thinks that he has done
his share of educational work. and
does not intend to take an active part
in the coming contest. The Doctor
has done an enormous amount Of work.
And while his labor in the peoples
cause has borne fruit and will con-
tinue'to be fruitful in the future, his
only reward has been the conscious
ness of having done his part. I have
often thought that we are not re-
spOnsive enough with our purses, nor
as appreciative as we should be Of
those who fight our battle for us.
Not many years since a reform paper
was started in this county, edited by a
man who proved himself the equal of
his political antagonists in mental
ability. And yet, that paper was al
lowed to die because of the lethargy
of its friends, Two years ago we had
no paper: you recollect the result. A
little more than a year since, in the
face of a storm of abuse and ridicule.
another reform paper was launched,
and at the mast stood the name of a
man who, as a speaker and writer, is
as far superior in brilliancy to the
drove of mudslingers who attack him
as a star is to a hy-speck. But to
stand in mute satisfaction of that fact
is not enough. We should remember
that 1.-THE laborer is worthy of his
hire" Our enemies, the money
changers and corporations, ''hate re-
spectability, and respect ability''
Ability is in demand with them and al
ways rewarded, when used in their
service. Now, when man of un-
questioned ability and respectable
ity volunteers to face the fire and
abuse of our enemies who are hired
for that purpose, we should hold up
his hand in every possible way. If we
can do no more, we can pay up our
dues even if we have to send quar-
ter at the time. There is also talent
enough among the friends of reform
in Randy ohi Co. to relieve the stress
OF fighting single handed all the big
and little ours who snap at his heels.
Remember, dozen worthless ours ours
will worry a mastiff in time. This is
not written to defend the Doctor. He
is abundantly able to take care of
himself. But the cause for which he
has fought is OUR CAUSE as much as
his. Therefore we ought to engage
in it with as much zeal and energy as
God has given us to use. We are on
the eve Of mighty conflict, and the
greatest weapon engaged in our de-
fence is the Reform Press-let us sus-
tain it. ~. - z>=S S. 81 :.

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

The Alexandria Post-News, a
Republican newspaper, says:
The Republican league might be
a great power in the party and a
great benefit to it's members. It
comes vastly nearer being "a
model tizzle. There never was a
greater farce in politics than the
state meeting of the clubs last
week and election of officers.
Ramsey county there set the
pace and at the next election, the
candidates will win who has the
largest force of typewriters to
write out credentials. But not
only is the state organization a
sort of petty comedy, but the 10.
cal clubs are not much better
than the make believe soldiers in
the east. They are allowed to
pay for the band and hall rent
during the campaign, and to
voice the ''all~rightness" of the
various candidates of the party.
AS to being made a serious part
of the party machinery, no one
ever seriously thinks of it; the
leaders do not wish it. They are
not, save in rare cases, even
made educational.
A few men who wish to strut
across the front of the stage of
politics where the foot lights will
show their make up to advantage,
use the league as temporary ex-
pedient. Others who have fish
to fry" use the league some
times, to bait their hooks. The
old heads, the fathers of the
machine, give it to the children
to play with; it amuses them and
keeps them quiet. And the ex.
asperating thing about this state
of affairs is that the league might
be and ought to be the right hand
o. the party. 1t should be the
schools Of politics for the young
from which the party managers
trained in honest, decent, clean
honorable, political methods
should be graduated.
