last winter. Il seems strange oSSilsss
that the legis lature being ia session
fort our months after their co lapse
should have scarcely taken cognizance
OF the fact, but went on and end orsed
the bank examiner the same as If moth
ing had happened. The following
from Herb Manchester of the Lake
Benton News, and a member Of the
Legislature, will go to show what they
knew, yet seemed afraid to act upon
during the session. It is q serious
matter the loss of all that money, both
public and private, especially to the
laboring classes in cities, and the
causes leading up to- it should have
been thoroughly investigated, without
"whitewash'' and the whole matter
laid bare to the core: .S:s.e.,. :$ss-
''The grand juries of Ramsey and
Hennepin counties have censured Pub
lie Elk aminer Kenyon for not finding
out something about the financial con-
dition of the many banks and other
).moneyed institutions which he has ex-
amined regularly. This eensure is
evidently proper and we'll deserved.
It may BE better late than never, but
if some Of it had appeared before, It
might possibly have saved some thou
sands of innocent oitizens from hnan-
cial ruin because public opinion would
have compelled the appointment OF q
more capable official, and one whose
examinations examined. Mr.. Kenyon
makes, and can make, but two pOinta
in his defense. They are, Il That his
force of assistants is insufficient, and
~ That he cannot tell the commercial
value of paper possessed by banks.
Neither of these excuses is any answer
to the structures justly his due. Whether
the force in the public examiners Of
fee is sufficient or not, whenever, an
examination is made, it can he made
we'll. Where bank officials have
wrecked and robbed a bank, and have.
violated the laws governing them, that
fact can be seen. Where specific cases
of violations of law are pointed out
to Kenyon, he can then see Them 1T
he CANNOT he is unfit for the position.
1t is not so very long ago that a per-.
son pointed out the Inevitable failure
of the Guaranty Loan in Minneapolis.
It was pointed out how that and other
institutions were violating the laws
enacted for their government, but in
stead of Kenyon doing anything to
protect the public, he deliberately
knocked down the individual who
called his and the public's attention to
the criminal rotteness of the concerns.
We belieye that one or both of these
propositions are trVe: Either that
Kenyon is wholly incempetaat, or
that he is corrupt. We do not believe
that any reasonable person In the
State of Minnesota can deny that at
least one of these propositions is true
And if either one is true it is certainly
time that a change be made in the
office o.; public examiner. If change
is not made, the Office ought certainly
be abolished. -Renville Star Farmer.

WHO WAS THE FOOLISH MAN7

The editor of the Willmar Tribune
is apparently coming to better un'
derstanding of things. Last fall he
was shouting that to legislate a ficti-
cious value into silver would Hood
the country knee-deep in prosperity.
Now, however. he very logically re-
marks:
Lett no one for Il moment hope for legis-
lation to better the condition OF the masses
for good while yet. Everybody must take
conditions as they are and act accordingly;
Every farmer must try to econom1ze ana
use every business device possible: .t ana Cd IL
both ends meet. If they cannot do that
under their present condition. then figure
out how the farm can be run TO 40 oet'er'
He might have as tritely added that
an enraged or foolish man could take
an axe and, in q few moments, make
a mass of useless materials out OF q
valuable piano, but it takes skilled
mechanic many days of persistent labor
to reproduce it. The axe has been get
ting in it's work during the past two or
three years and it behooves us to have
patience while the skilled workmen are
busily engaged in repairing the dam
age done. -Litch6eld News-Ledger.
Yes. and the republican party was
the foolish man that made kindling
wood of the finished product of it's
own hands by, in 1893, repeating the
Sherman law that it passed in 1890.
OF course, we protested against this
drunken act of vandalism of the Il. o.
P. fool the best we knew how. But as
he will not come to his senses, and as
he is in power, we see no other way
than to do the best we can under the
circumstances.
You see, Bro. Joubert, we populists
cannot get an office to live off the pub
lie treasury, SO we have to get down
to live on the gold standard hard-pan
even if it is below the ideal of an en-
ightened American citizen. We used
to think that this country was the
bright and morning star of higher
civilization for mankind, but we have
been sadly disabused of this notion.
We were SO simple as to think that
this government was ordained to estab-
lish justice, etc. But we know now
that the preamble to the constitution
is only empty phrases; that the whole
object of the government is that poll
ticians may get an Office and the mono
polistic millionaires may accumulate
wealth to buy the blighted sprouts of
European nobility for their daughters.
But, on with the dance! We popu-
lists are getting into a position where
We can stand this thing as long as
Anybody We believe we shall live
to'see the men that have brought this
gold curse onto the American people
either in state prison or the work
house. And we may live to see the
now naughty Office holders brought
lower even thar the cranky populist
Who; lives by ordinary work. !. = .

Uses Of better times are not going to bel
fulfilled, and, therefore, we advise the
populists to get out: Of debt-tooi trim
their sails for rough weather. The
gold standard is filling up the coun-
try down east with 50-cent-a-day men,
and there can be- no lasting peace in
l this country on the basis OF q 5o-cent
man. Z. -,,:... C. y. /

Who's kicking? We made the sug-
gestion that if the fact that admission
was to be charged, and also the price,
had been advertised, there would have
been less confusion. 1t certainly is
not customary to charge admission to
events advertised as attractions at
public celebrations unless so specified
in the program. Through the kind
ness of Bro. Mathews the money paid
by the editor and party was refunded,
so we certainly have nothing to kick
about personally. In writing what we
did we, simply reflected a sentiment
which we met with. 1t was a case OF

superior than formerly when the milk
was separated at, the usual temporal

FARMERS WANT GOOD ROADS.
They Speak Through the Medium Of Their
| Institutes.
Resolutions Adopted at Various fleet
ings in San Joaquin
Valley.

R. G. Irvine, of the Bureau of High
ways, has returned from a "trip to the
southern part of the State, where he at
tended farmers institutes ait Porter
WILLIE Malaga and Tulare.
These meetings We're very largely att
Dended, and the utmost interest was
taken in the matter of good roads.
Everyone present seemed to be inter
ested and to have read UP ON the sub
iect.
Question after question was put to
Commissioner Irvine, and these plainly
Showed the desire of the farmers for
practical information and the anxious
desire of all present to obtain some re-
liable data about bodybuilding.
Resolutions in favor of the PROPOSE
tions of the Bureau of Highways were
unanimously passed at all the institutes.
These We're all similar i'm effect, and the
resolutions passed at the Porte1Ville
meeting practically express the others.
They read as follows:
I'VE recognize the value and impor-
tance of easy and economic means of
communication, realizing that they tend
to increase land values and populate the
community with a more desirable class
ing the whole neighborho0d
I'VE also recognize the fact that good
roads make farm life more attractive
and pleasant, causing our boys and girls
ITO remain at home, happy and content
ed, thereby decreasing the tendency to
fill up the already overflowing cities;
therefore be it
Resolved, THAT this Farmers Insti-
tute, held in Porterville on January 18th
and 10Th, 1897, and composed of repre-
sentative citizens of Porterville and sur
rounding country, appreciates the good
work THAT has been inaugurated and
continued by the Bureau of Highways
for two years.
Resolved, That we do indorse the
accommodations relative to roads made
by said Bureau of Highways and re-
quest our representatives in the State
Legislature TO strive to get some law
enacted ito carry into effect said recon-
mendaitions; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Institute be instructed to transmit
a copy of these resolutions to each
of Tulare County's representative in
the Legislature.
Resolved, THAT we approve the ear
nest efforts of Mr.. Irvine of the Bureau
of Highways to secure better roads in
California, and thank him for the zeal
with which he has instructed this body
on the subject of good roads"

traveller would be as much pleased as
surprised.
One of the popular steamship agents
said in speaking of the changed condi-
ton: THE man who expects to re-
ceive the same accommodations in 81
a day hotel that he would find in the
best hotel in New York is a fool, and
would not be a desirable guest amy
where, and the man who thinks that he
can have as many comforts in the
steerage ait $27 as he has in the first
cabin at $50 or 500 is equally foolish
and equally undesirable
But the man of sense who makes
trip in the steerage nowadays will be
sure to say that he received his mon
ey's worth. This is said not only for
the line which 1 represent, but for
every other company as we'll. The VEN
tilation is perfect. the sanitary arrange
mentS are of high order and all the
Objectionable features of the steerage
of long ago have been eliminated. The
passengers are provided with beds and
table utensils, and the table is good
OF course, there are not SO many dain-
ties and fancy dishes served as in the
first cabin, but the same will hold good
with the 50 hotel and the Fifth-avenue
establishment. l made a trip a short
time ago and had my dinner several
times from the steerage, and I enjoyed
the meals fully as well as those from
the first cabin. One particularly good
dinner consisted of mutton, barley soup,
boiled beef, roast mutton, boiled pota-
toes and another vegetable and apple
pudding. With dinners like that, we'll
cooked, and lots of it every time, the
passenger finds little cause for COM
