UNFORTUNATE.

We are sorry to hear that the Mime
apolis Tribune has foreclosed its mort
gage on the Evening Penny) Press
and taken possession of it.
This is to be deeply regretted. 1t
leaves the free silver element OF Mime
sofa without daily paper. The gentle
mn engaged in carving it On have made
a gallant fight against adverse condi-
lions, but the single gold standard was
too much for them.
The paper will still be run. but as an
adjunct to the Minnea DOLLS Tribune,
which is one Of the leading Republican
papers of the state. 1t may preach free
silver for time, but there will he a
string to it, and it's legs may De pulled
out from under Ii at any moment.
TIE REPRESENT ATiVT hopes to be
able to establish campaign daily next
year. 1t would have done So three years
ago but for the virrlent opposition of
8. NJ. Owen, but he has left the People S
party now and is trying to get UP new
organization. that is to lie neither Popu-
list, Democratic nor Republican, Meth
or fish, flesh nor red herring'-but an
homogeneous and absurd conglomeration
of all three, with S. M. sitting ON it's
tail and steering it.
P. S. Since writing the above, we are
Informed by gentleman connected with

THE LOGICAL CONCLUSfON

The supreme court of the state goes
through the statute books at the end of
each session Of the legislature and tears
out all it does not approve of--and these
are the important ones It does not in
erfere with the road and bridge bills"
but, II any enactment is averse to the in
terests of the great corporations-ou it
goes. And so it has come to pass that
sensible men think it better that the ap-
prevail Of the court should come be-

DEAD.

The legislature is defunct. 1t was
marked by few virtues and thousand
crimes. The members return home &c
receive the curses, loud and deep, oil
their disappointed constituents. The de-
feat Of the Douglas bill. and of every
other measure aimed against the corpor-
ations. will be difficult to explain. The
Populists did their duty and proved
themselves an able and honest body OF
men. Their record is uniformly excel
lent.

profits would be interfered With, know
that at the end Of ninety days the gavel
must fall and the session terminate;
and SO they stave off action by all man
ner of cunning devices, until 1t is too
late to do anything without suspension
of the rules, and that requires a two
thirds vote. All the rascals have to do,
therefore, is to fool or buy one-third of
the house and the remedial power of
representative government Is at an end
for two years more! And then the
same game will be played over again.
And so it goes on from year to year,
until the Republican form of govern
ment is made fraud and burlesque;
and patriots go down to the grave with
broken hearts, while the multitude are
educated into anarchy and revolution.
Oh, Lord. Give the people energy
and good sense to right these wrongs
while there is yet time, or their children
will descend into actual and hopeless
slavery.

ture Our readers will note that the
Populists vote right every time. 1t is
a good party to tie to. We print the
names of the Populists in large caps.
