MORE PROOF OF PROSPERITY.

The daily papers-and they are, with
hardly an exception, Republican-are
diligently engaged in suppressing all ev-
licences of hard times among the people;
but occasionally some crime or some
thing of the kind forces facts to the sur
face which they would like to have con-
cealed. For instance, bank at Mount
Pleasant, Mich, failed, and good many
hundred people lost great many thOus-
and dollars. Nothing would have been
said. probably, of this important fact;
but the cashier of the bank, man
named Strueble, has been shot and
killed while in the bank, and it is
claimed that he was murdered by those
connected with the bank in the struggle
to get possession of the funds Strueble
recovered consciousness long enough to
tell who the men were that shot him;
but, although it is believed they were
prominent citizens Of the town, and the
dying declaration of the cashier is con-
elusive evidence, their names have new
er been made public, and possibly no
prosecution will follow.
1t is a beautiful state of affairs, and
throws a flood of light upon the age in
which we live.

grounds, to make them short speech
on opening day of same. It might be
we'll If Mr.. Lynchs meeting could be
held at the same time, for then there
would be large attendance of labor
ing men, who are nearly all Of them in
sympathy with the Peoples party move
ment.
We are ready to do all in our power
to help forward the movement. We have
spent thousands of dollars and quar-
ter of century of time already in the
effort. Whatever we can do to heal the
breaches in the party we shall do, pro-
vided we are not asked to hand it over
to the control of the very men who have
shown that their highest desire is to
cut it's throat. This paper and ourself
will be found working for peace, good
the men who simply seek to use these
sentiments and the generous sentiments
of noble people as an opportunity to
destroy the cause of refOrm-fOr them
we have nothing but the battle-ax
We hope we have sufficiently an
swered Mr.. Collins inquiries; If we have
not, we would be glad to hear from him
again.
If he thinks we have done wrong, in
defending the life of the Peoples party
against those who have repeatedly said
it must die. or be turned over to the
Democrats let him say so and give his
reasons for reaching that conclusion.
Or if anybody else thinks so let him
say so and we will give him a hearing.
1t is a year before the next campaign.
We cannot better use that time than
in discussing, in fair and liberal way,
VIII, what the party ought to do. Our posi-
ton is:
1. The party ought not to die.
2. 1t ought not to be put into the
hands of the men who think it ought
to die.
3. The best way to secure peace and
harmony is to pitch the traitors and as
sassins over the battlements. There are
but few of them; and any other course
means death and destruction to the
cause of reform.

also the result~of sort Of referendum,

Here we have in Minnesota a consti-
tuition which was adopted October 18th,
1857, by vote Of 3O,O55 ayes and 571
noes; and although our vote is now
about $4,000, and our population more
than million and half, yet that con-
stitut1on, adopted by the insignificant
vote of 3O,O55 inlits favor, stands there.
and will stand until the end of time, I'M

form some abuse, some judge comes in

by the great corporations) and finds
that the law in question, while it is not
in conflict with any express provision
contained in the constitution, is never
theless worthless, as being in conflict
with the spirit of the constitution, or
the spirit of plutocracy, or the spirit Of
something else; and so he wipes it out.
And 100000 voters are made powerless
by the votes of the 3O,O55 voters who
lived here in 1857, and most of them are
now dead
But If we get the referendum. we
should accompany it by provision that
the vote of the people, upon any ques-
ton, was of equal power with the con-
stitutiOn itself, as originating from the
same source; and that no court should
have the right to set it aside because it
did not meet with their approval. Being
OF equal right and dignity with the con-
stitution, the constitution could not De
appealed to, to nullify it.
Friends, we are struggling to preserve
free institutions in the land. We see
the way in which the enemy is advance
ing; and we see also our remedies. Have
we got the manhood and courage to
stand together and preserve the bless
1ngs of free government for our poster
ity? That is the question.

Since writing the articles which ap-
pear elsewhere in reference to the meet
ing of Populists to be held during Fair
week, we have been called upon by Mr..
e. K. Lynch, secretary of the state CEN
trial committee, who issued the call: and
we are satisfied that he has acted in
good faith; and that there is no sinister
purpose behind the movement.
We would therefore urge upon all
Populists who can attend to do so, and
make the conference a great success
Leave the bowie knives and tomahewk ks
at home, and let us all unite in opening
a tremendous campaign for the People S
party--frst last and all the time Let
us show the world that Populism is not
dead but awfully alive, and means to be
alive for century to come.

The. Ohio CampaiEn,

The Ohio Populists have done what
they went to Columbus to do They
were not swept off their feet by Mclean
trickery nor by Hanna checks. They
completed the work of naming a ticket
and adjourned about seven o'clock D. m.
Wednesday. Mr.. Coxey did not desire
the nomination, and the convention was
disposed to respect his wishes, but when
Mr. Cook and Mr.. Seitz absolutely and
positively refused to permit the use of
their names, Mr. Coxey yielded to the
almost universal demand, and he was
named by reclamation. The rest of the
ticket was made up of men but. little
known outside the state, and little need
be said of them here.

The Winona Republican, in a recent
issue, publishes the following item:
If lgnatius Donnelly had withheld until
now his at one time famous circular to the
farmers enjoinng them TO hold on to their
wheat. he would have proved himself more
or sage and philosopher than events

combined in one person.
Now the Winona Republican is a pref
ty decent sort of paper; and there are
worse men in the world than David SIN

therefore, to see him repeating false

PROSPERITY.

II an intelligent stranger from India
or Japan was visiting this country and
reading the daily papers, he would con-
clude, by the articles sent out from
Room 1, Glover Building, Washington,
that we were in the high tide Of the
most tremendous prosperity the world
had ever seen.
The increased price of wheat, due to
the failure of the crops all over the
world, is presented as one proof of pros
perity; the vast accumulations of money
In the banks, because the solvent don't
want to borrow it and the insolvent can
not get it. is alleged as another proof:
and yet in the face of all this, millions
or workmen are unemployed and a vast
strike is in progress, involving hundreds
or thousands of miners, and which may
eventuate in violence and possibly civil
war; and at the same time we find in
the papers such items as the following.

We liked the tone of the letter from
Hon. F. S. Fisk, of Fairmont, Mimi, in
our last issue. He very properly asks
where he is to go if the Peoples party
is dissolved or merged into any other
That is the question hundreds Of thous-
ands are asking each other
But it is not going to be dissolved
The Nashville conference settled all
that question. The Peoples party is
here to stay. 1t may lose some votes,
by the half-baked chaps leaving us; but
the old guard will remain and will soon
make converts enough to cover all such
losses.
If any man thinks the Democratic
or Republican party is better than our
own, for Gods sake open all the doors
and windows and let the 'cuss" 90. One
blatherskite inside the party can do
more harm than ten thousand outside.
And the most conspicuous fool in the
world has but a single vote after all.
One good, active Populist will make
more converts, in a months campaign,
than all the traitors, towards and
knaves that are now hanging on to the
coat tails of the Peoples party and try
ing to persuade it to give up its name
and "prejudices," and tie itself, like a
tin Kettle. to the caudal appendage of
some other party.

1t is another evidence that the tide of
enthusiasm is rising; and that we are

WILD RIDE ON A WHEEL
SCHOOL MISTRESS PEDALS SIXTY
MILES TO ESCAPE INDIANS.
Terrifying Situation in Montana,
Where the Redskins Are Conn
mttting Depredations.

MILES CITY, Mont, June 6.--The rumor
sent abroad that settlers were returning
with their families to their homes is not
true. About fifty families, refugees from
Indians, are still in this city and others
are coming daily. AS many as seven and
eight families are huddled together in one
cottage, with no thought of returning to
their homes while the Indians are off the
reservation. A school teacher who had been
teaching on Otter creek near the reservation
and about sixty miles from here, arrived
last evening, having ridden the entire dis
tance on a bicycle in one day. She reports
seeing several small bands Of Indians
prowlng around the hills on foot. Over
two hundred Indians are off the reservation,
scattered in small bands, roaming the coun-
try and committing depredations and de-
vourng everything in their line of march.
There are said to be 1900 Indians on the
reservation. The dance houses donated the
Indians some time ago by Captain Stouch
and others will be torn down and the
large drum taken away from them, and all
''bad medicine" made hereafter will have
to be made in open air. Sheriff Gibb
and Stock Inspector Smith leave to-
morrow for the scene of the trouble
