the lack of all principles

Overwhelming the lack of all principles
and platform in his new organization,
has sent out these avant couriers, to
break the way; and, like the voice Of
one crying in the wilderness, proclaim
the great gospel of licensing farmers
as the first step to reducing production
and advancing prices. This, united to
that other great doctrine-''the political
power of corporate monopoly must be
suppressed" would give an invincible
platform, under which all the sons of
the morning. can advance to deliverance.

straint of trade and commerce. Not more
bonds but more freedom. not more license,
but more equality. These are my doc

Though the vast majority were with Mr..
Hall there were not wanting those who
saw strong points in Gen. Barrett's speech
We are glad there is some common
sense left in Stevens county. A few
more such speeches as those of Hall
and Hodgson would constitute an I'M
answerable argument for locating the
fourth hospital for the insane right in

BOB DUNN'S VIEWS.

He Finds the Best Men In the Recent
Legislature Were POpulists.
Hon. r. c. Dunn, state auditor, writes
a summary of his views on the legisla-
ture, for a recent issue of his paper,
The Princeton Union. It is generally
understood that Bob" is more of Pop
ulist than a Republican; hence his views
of Hon. j. F. jacobson, the leader OF the
house, will be interesting to our readers.
He says:
Hon J. F. Jacobson has been termed
crank and a POpulist. One day last
week a prominent Scandinavian editor
was in the auditors Office and he pro-
pounded to me this interrogatory: Who
do you consider were the ablest and best
men in the house,? The first man | named
was Mr.. Jacobson. Why, he said.
jacobson is id cranky Populist.'
Granted 1 remarked. but will you be
kind enough to point to one single
measure for the best interests Of the state
that was opposed by Mr.. jacobson? Will
you point "a single leg-pulling or rotten
bill that he favored? Was not his voice
raised and his vote recorded in behalf
of every really meritorious bill?' The
editor admitted that Mr.. jacobson was
honest and conscientious, but he the edi-
tori had no love FOR the rugged Norwegian
from Lac uui Parle.'
The probabilities are that Jake" will
stick to the G. o. p. until the money
power teaches him that there is no flu
ture for men entertaining his views, and
then he will join the Populists, where
he belongs, and bring thousands Of his
| friends with him.

LONDON April 29.-The chancellor of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beac CHI
read the budget statement in the house of
commons yesterday. The balanced account
Tor 1867 shows the excheQuer revenue to
be f1O3. 1000, and the expenditures E1O1-
40.OOO, leaving surplus of 92,473 900 (s12-
365OOO.) The chancellor added that the ma
tional debt had been reduced G75S4 900
during the year. and that the total value
of British trade during the last financial
year was 913S,OOO.00O, an increase of S
per cent. The increase in the income tax
revenue exceeded the estimate by nearly
$500. The chancellor of the exchequer
said that a careful estimate was made in
1896 and that they were bound to make
an equally careful one In 1897
Mark the contrast The people of
the United States are falling into uni
versal bankruptcy. England pays of
$37 500, 900 of it's public debt in one year
and it's business and the incomes of its
people are increasing at rapid rate
The only business that is ilourishing in
this country is suicide.
The reason: We have a party in
power that represents English wishes
not American interests. We are once
more province of Great Britain. The
revolution of 1915 was fought in vain.

THE FORESTRY FAD.

The Cleveland scheme, to withdraw
vast areas of public land from home
stead settlement, under the pretense of
preserving forests so as to regulate the
rain fall CD has got a black eye in con-
gress.
Good. It. Is merely plutocratic
scheme to create immense tracts of idle
land that shall not be subject to the
control of the people.
The best use that can be made Of the
public lands is to let the people have
them in tracts of 100 acres each--to
raise babies on. Every scheme which
would change this tendency should be
viewed with the utmost suspicion.
There is an evoluted money-lender
somewhere at the back of it.
The immense snow-falls and rain-falls
of last winter were not created by the
trees around the head-waters of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers; and If they
were we had better cut the trees down
p. d. g., for the destruction of life and
this spring.
Moisture comes from the clouds; it is
sucked up into the clouds by evapora-
ton from the surface of the oceans; ex-
cessive SHOWS and rains indicate excess
sive evaporation; and this indicates ex-
cessive heat; and the excessive heat
comes from the sun:-because there is
nowhere else for heat to come from.
The philosophers of the sun is shield
of vapors interposed between the sun
and the planets; and when that is brok-
en- and the black surface of the sun is
revealed-a "sun spot"-we have in
tense heat, which sucks up the water of
the oceans.

These hard times lead to all kinds Of
expedients. A very natural one is to
exclude some one else from competing
with you. There being too little money
there are necessarily too many people,
and fence them OUT is the cry. Hence
the BARRIERS insisted that the profound
science of barbering must not be prac-
ticed without preliminary examination
and license, and they secured law at
the last session to that effect Then the
horse-shoers took up the cry, and they
wanted examinations and licenses. You
can't be married without license or be
buried without one. 1t will get so after
awhile that a man can't scratch himself
| without governmental permission and
regulations. ..''
But our old acquaintance, Mr.. r. J..
Hall, of Morris, Mimi, has capped the
climax. BY logical course of reason
| ing he has reached these conclusions.
! l. The prices of agricultural products
| are too low because there is too much of
| them raised.
2. This is due to the fact that there
are too many farmers raising crops.
g. This is to be remedied by limiting
the number of farmers.
| 4. This is to be done by issuing
license to a particular few and turning
the remainder into preachers, doctors,
| lawyers, editors, ETC.
| The preachers, doctors, lawyers, edi-
tors, etc., will also protest that there
are too many of them now, and that
some of them are starving. We had an
account the other day, of Methodist
ministers who are living on $50 and $3.50
a year! This would constitute fine
pickings for underfed farmers! They
would expand like Hindoo ryot on
! such fare!
But TO do justice to Mr.. Halls ex-
traordinary theory we must let him
speak for himself. We quote from the
Herman, Mimi, Enterprise, of April 20
1897:

THE OLNEY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY.
We are glad to note that the famous
Anglo-American treaty has been killed
by the senate. We hope we have heard
the last of it. 1t was a piece Of Cleve-
lands lunatical folly
There is no difficulty in arbitrating
any question as it arises, that the Amer
lean people may desire to arbitrate. but
we want no entangling alliances with
England that will bind our hands in any
emergency.
We were one of the first to lead off
in opposition to the treaty and we feel
as if we had been endorsed But we got
nothing for our pains but lot of abuse
from the Pioneer Press, to which we
replied with suit for libel.

and third grade farmers. \ first grade
would be permitted to farm anything less
than $40 acres: a second 2ra1e should be
limited to a quarter section, and q third
grade to eighty acres. And with the
other professions
"And the license. Common sense would
dictate that the cost of license should be
graduated according to the difference In
the grade Of the license. 1t should be a
good round fee. say $50 for the first
grade. $500 for second. ana 800 for third.
There is a remedy for the afflicted
farmers that beats the high tariff bill all
hollow! That simply proposes to i'm
prove the condition of the impoverished
by making all classes pay more for the
necessaries and comforts of life. But
this will stand the unhappy agriculture
lists up in row and apply the civil serv-
ice requirements to them. They will be
asked to furnish the logarithm of a sue
cession of blue monkeys and yellow
dogs; to give the length of the Hoang-
no and Yangtsekiang; to name the cube
root of a pot-bellied Chicago alderman;
to tell how much the average legislature
can steal in ninety days; with much
other varied and valuable information,
without which a man cannot be expected
to successfully hoe potatoes. And if he
passes this examination, then, ON PAY
MENT OF $500 O. he may hold on to
his $40 acres; and if he cannot pass it
he can undergo lesser examination,
and give up his farm and start in as a
mechanic, a minister, doctor or a law
yer; and if he fails in all these he may
fall back on that pursuit for which no
intelligence whatever is required, that
OF country editor.
There are only two difficulties that
present themselves in the contemplation
of this great reform:
First-Would Mr. Hall pass any of the
examinations?,
Second-Faihng in that, would be be
| fit to make a country editor?
| And then there Icons up another i'm
portant question: Might not the farmers
rise in revolt land put R. J. Hall and
Thomas c. Hodgson (for Hodgson en-
dcrses the scheme) in the lunatic asy-
lum? And would they be out of place
| there? -
1t is a CURIOUS fact that Messrs. Hall
and Hodgson are both earnest support
ers of that great man, S. M. Owen
who is trying to start a new party in
this state; they are the Brigham Young

been the loser If there had been more men
of his stamp in the house. And Ignatius
Donnelly. There is only one Donnelly. Say
what you please about him, his eloquent
voice Is always raised in behalf of the peo-
pie. Donnelly was by all odds the abIest
man in either branch. I might mention a
dozen other honest and sincere house
members like Hartshorn, Sederburg, Hill,
Mcdonald, Dunn. Snyder and LaybCurn,
but space forbids. Senator Ringdal Is an
exceedingly able and conscientious gentle
man. and he was highly esteemed and re-
spected by his colleagues. II the Populists
would send such men as Mr.. Ringdal to the
legislature no one could find fault with
them. Senator McHale, the Democratic
Warhorse from Scott county, was an intiu-
entail legislator. He always commanded
the respect and attention Of his colleagues
There Is one thing certaiu--the house
was good deal more Populistic when it
adjourned than it was when It con-
vened. We heard expressions of that
kind on all sides.
Truth Is mighty and must prevail.
