MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 20.-The wheat trade
appears 10 have dropped into a rut of weak
ness and inactivity. Trade was rarely If ever
more clrcumscribed or interest lower Even
the scalpers who always willing nIavers
II there is anything to play for are sadly
discouraged, while commission men stand
TO come from. This condition is not purely
local, It is the same at a.. other wheat cen
tiers; There appears to be no speculative
spirit all natural conditions are in favor of
activity and strength but the trade navs M
heed. At the opening this morning local
operators hardly knew what to do Wheat
was only Ad higher at Liverpool and Sd to
cd per quarter higher at London for choice
wheats. Crop news was generally more hope
fuI as to the growing crop, the late rains
having worked wonders on the feds previous
week were light and early advices from New

pOpuIIsr OPINIONS.

When seeking the truth, it Is well to
take the testimony of the most compe-
tent to Judge. Expert testimony has
value, particularly when not biased by
prejudice caused By strong adherence
TO certain political principles. The re-
cent success Of the populist party seems
to have met the fate predicted by keen
observers OF political events. The re-
election Of Senator Kyle is an anomaly
in the history Of the state and his adj
dress to the populists of the state is
remarkable document. For instance
he states
''The misfortune OF the populist party
Is that through JEALoUsLY,
MALICE and CORRUPT com binations it
became plainly apparent that the dead
lock would continue to the end OF the
session if assistance did not come from
republicans. The CORRUPT influence
and the powerful MACHINE installed
In the party (populist) have regardless
Of party welfare, by persecution OF my
personal friends, and venomous and
false personal attacks attempted in the
interest of small clique OF new found
allies to thwart my reelection and have
sought 20 drive me from the party
which helped to found. Divested OF
corruption and machine rule the popu-
list party may hope for a grand future"
What stronger condemnation OF the
p0pulist party could be asked. Here is
q United States senator. the truthful-
ness Of whose word upon any matter
has never been disputed by any person,
z man whose moral conduct has been
without reproach, accusing Lee and
others Of machine rule and corruption.
We, for one, would like to hear what
our distinguished state senator has got
to say. It is very plain he has been
very bitter in his attitude against Kyle.
Does Mr.. Grill deny the charge OF cor
rupt methods and machine rule?
