DIR FORM.

Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most Of them could be condensed into
800 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters Will lie given
preference. Write them on one side of
the paper only. If written on both sides
they will not be printed under any
circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely together.
A plainly written letter conforming to
these rules will stand by far the best
chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations we
admit the widest liberty of tho :ght and
expression upon the part of Our CORE
spondents. while we do not hold our
selves responsible for any views which
may be put forth.
The Forum, as it's name implies. is a
sort OF debating school, for the discus
sion of the important questions Of the
day We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to keep
clear OF the shoreless and bottomless
sea of religious debate.-Ed.

sofa, l having prophesied 1t even, l will
try and give some hints here, not fer
you but for those who do. not exactly
understand the situation. Any silver
newspaper man or any wake silver man
knows that Mark Hanna is endeavoring
to kill Or do away with any newspaper
that advocates silver and reform. Mr..
Starkey is nothing but an agent of Mark
Hanna and the gold bugs, directly or in
directly, intentional or unintentiOnal.
He openly declares that the Evening
Press does not owe a dollar; that he did
not have the money to discharge the
debts. but that there stands a man be-
hind him who is backing him up. Now
if the Evening Press is to be a paper
for silver, reform and truth why does
not Mr.. Starkey name his hacker, or
why does his hacker want to keep his
identity a secret? Because this hacker
is not a silver man and because he did
not take hold of the paper for any such
purpose at ALL When in December last
the Evening Penny Press started anew,
there were between the incOrpOratOrs
some of the greatest silver men and re-
formers of our great state and not one
of them was ashamed to have his name
published. Men like Chas TOwne, Thos.
D. O'Brien, J. NJ Hawthorne, j. NJ Bow
Ter. Jas. w. Griffin. Geo. E. Dickson,
Leon d. Brown, Stephen B. Howard,
John D. Smith and others. These gem
temen were proud of their act, and why
is Mr.. Starkey's hacker ashamed of hay
ing saved as they make it appear, the
only silver daily of Minnesota. Thous-
ands and thousands of good citizens
would do such man honor for such a
noble act | know this to be a fact.
Everything of the Evening Press is
changed at once. Mr.. Starkey in an adj
dress to Third ward silver people stated
openly that he was going to make the
Evening Press clean paper. Just as if
Congressman Charles Towne or Maj.
Bowler, etc, had published an unclean
paper. Men who were for life employees
and who acted as missionaries for our
great cause have been discharged and
men who advocated the gold standard
last fall have been given their places.
Yes, senator, you are right. There are
grave dangers ahead. The Evening
Press will either become a gold paper;
or it will be used to raise fights and
cause division of our great party. There
fore, senator look out and warn the
people. j. F.. Shaw

lieve he is reading the widest romance
when he is reading only the simple facts.
Let me give some of them. On page 81,
of Postmaster General Wilson's report
for 1895 it is stated that the average
price for carrying the mail is eight
cents per pound for an average distance
CT 448 miles. The same statement is
| made on page SO of Bissell's report for
1894. Now the Texas and Southern
Pacific railroad carries merchandise
distance of $500 miles for two-fiftns of
d cent a pound. For carrying one pound
Of mail the same distance the charge is
A cents. In other words the govern
carrying the mail as private individ-
ual is charged for carrying merchan-
disc. Is not this an outrage sufficient
to make ones blood boil? and to make
him feel like boiling some other ones
blood?
But this is not ALL Besides paying
this fabulous price for carrying the
mail the government rents from the
roads the cars in which it is carried.
What rent does it pay? See if you can
hold your temper while you read. There
are 500 postal cars in use which cost
less than $4,000 each; that is to say the
postal cars are worth less than $1,000
600. For the use of these cars the gov
eminent pays the railroads $4,000 coo
each year. A car last for twenty years.
Therefore the government pays the
railroads $72 100000 for the use of cars
worth only $4,000, 900. a clear steal from
the government of $7O,OOO,OOO
Besides these two frauds there is still
another In the month set apart for the
weighing of the malls the roads ship
vast numbers of sacks Of congressional
mail, books, pamphlets, etc. to points
on their lines. and then reshipping
them again and again until the weigh
ing is completed, to swell the gross
weight on which they are to receive pay
for the next four years The govern
ment ownership of railroads will stop
these gigantic frauds; and that is the
only way to stop them. The fact that
the present administration is completely
controlled by the railroads was proved
in the senate a short time ago Senator
Butler offered an amendment to the pos
tai appropriations bill providing that
the government should not pay as rental
for any postal car more than ten per
cent of it's value. Although this rental
is twice the value of the cars thu
amendment was voted down. With
these frauds eliminated by the govern
| ment ownership of the roads and the in
crease in business that would result
from reduction of rates, letters could
be sent for one cent and postal cards for
one-half of a cent Let the government
own the railroads, the telegraph and the
telephone. Then let the telephone and
telegraph be placed under the manage
ment of the postal department and the
people will be relieted from three of
the greatest monopolies on earth. But
this cannot be accomplished until the
Populists are placed in power
