THE METROPOLITAN.

Until Neil Burgess solved the prob
lem few years past, it Was thought
that to show an actual hOrserace on
the stage was an imposSibility, But
when The New County Fair" opens
ON next Sunday at the Metropolitan a
race with horses at full speed over a
ga mile track will be witnessed
from start to finish. When Mr.. Bur-
CESS first produced this wonderful re-
alistic innovation, he astoniShed
everyone. Like wise man, he had
covered his invention w TIL numerous
patents. and the thirty-two which are
necessary to make this invention ex-
cluSively his own have so far been ade-
Quate to protect it from the many
theatrical pirates, who know a good
thing when they Sc it. When the cur
tain lifts on the scene at the fair at
the time when the horSeracing is to
take place, you sit in the auditorium
and see the horses lined up in front OF
the starters flag. Then you hear the
thunder OF the shouting multitude,
They're OFF, You see the noble
horses tearing along the course, round
the turn, down the home stretch like
whirlwind. You watch "Cold Mo-
lasses," the famous Kentucky thor
Oughbred, as he pushes his nose to the
front, and as the crowd yells and the
music plays uproariOusly, you see that
he has won by neck. Talk about ex-
element. No wonder Neil Burgess
New County Fair" is making it's
third fortune for those connected
with it.

RIVALS PULL OUT

Bothman & Co. Agency Pull Out.
And Leave the Field to the Old Reliable Agency.
Outlook for @Good Season.

The recent failure of three banks in
this city, each operating steamship
office, has had a radical effect on the
steamship business, both locally and
throughout the Northwest. Up to the
time Of the failures the steamship Sit
-uation here was divided into two fac
tions, the one headed by the Washing
ton bank and the other by G. Fl. Both
man & Co. When the Washington
Bank failed last week, together with
two other steamship Offices it natur-
ally left the Bothman element in COM
mand of the field, and the matter so
rests. 1t is given out on good author.
ity that the Washington Bank, Both
mans most powerful rival, will not re-
open steamship Office again. Anoth-
er change in the local situation in
favor OF Bothman is the fact that his
remaining rival in this city, Werner
Broberg, is soon to leave for Spokane,
WASH, to accept position.
Mr.. Bothman predicts a good pre-
paid season on account OF the conti-
dence which Europe has in the next
administration In the United States,
and also because Of the possibility of
an immigrant restriction law being
passed in the near future. The lat

/ Have received a crop report for
November from the Agricultural De-
partment. It gives wheat prices for
Oct. Fl, 1895 and 1e96,-comparingt the
London and home price. Will ans wer
the query of one of your correspon
dents. The English price for Oct. 81,
1896 per bushel Of 81 lbs was $1t9
which makes over $1O5 per blu of 60
lbs. Price at home station (Wheaton),
50 cents; a difference Of 46 cents. .
In 1895 the English price was 76
cents per 62 lbs or - cents per GO lbs
counting only even cents; price here
Al cents, a difference Of 80 cents.
Comparing differences we have 16
cents in favor Of 1895 prices. Let us
see-our home price OF 59 ents plus 16
all. Last year, (l896,) local buyers at
Wheaton were buying for the Duluth
market; which was from two to three
cents above Minneapolis;-call it two;
so if we had sold at Minneapolis the
difference would have been 48 or 49
cents instead of 46. Now would not
be too hard on the "powers that be;'
possibly they knew that ''confidence"
would not pay their bills after cleo
ton, so they wanted some Ct the
"needful."
Or perhaps with their superior and
intuitive minds they perceived that
it was going to be hard winter.
There is not very remote pos sibility
that our great philanthropist, and
lover OF labors' products, Marx Hanna,
called on them to help restore ''confi.
dence" by electing the advance
Agent of Pros perity." They named
better than they knew when they said
advance AGENT but the query is how
far in advance" Of prosperity is he:
In consideration of their many
needs, and as / am a farmer, used tic
toll and privitation, believing it is
meet" for the many to be subject te
the few, l would not be too hard on
our bosses. Every time they are
pulled up one minute / would let
them down five. so they could get
their breath, and look around on the
beauties of nature. Such exercise
every day for few days before the
final send off, would, sort Of prepare
them for the future.

A HOPEFUL LETTER.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
The election is over, and our cause is
beaten We will continue the fight to
the bitter end. Our town in 1892 had
one Populist vote, in 1894 it had 22 and
in 1896 so out of 50 votes. Yet the Peo-
pies Party is dead. We will show how
dead we are in two years from now. Is
not confidence and prosperity whooping
her UP with a vengeance, and all idle
men finding remunerative employment?
We had long talk with leading Re-
publican before election, who was dis
satisfied with the G. o. P's system.
When I requested him to join our ranks,
he replied II shall never vote Demo-
cratic ticket. If you had stayed as the
Peoples Party would have constituted
one of your number, and know hundreds
of others who would have done the
same.'
Let us keep in the, middle of the road
and if defeated next time we will die in
the fightn.ou q, n;.,
So much has been said about your
shameful treatment that it is needless
for me to mention the matter, but no fit
ter man could have been elected to the
presidential chair, and there is no man
in the United States who would have
brought England to time quicker, on the
money question, than yourself.
If we only had the means to let the
people have The Representative for
one year in their home they would all
be Populists, outside of capitalists, and
those with fixed salary.
Why don't the people tumble? Moth
ing but few swipes with good club
seems to open the American peoples
eyes.
In your last issue you published an
item about Glasgow, Scotland, showing
how the council had purchased the street
railway and public works and how the
city is run without taxing the people,
cheaper fares, light, water, etc. / lived
in that city for years and know person.
ally that taxes were high; water, light,
ETC., the same. If the people had govern
ment ownership of railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, ETC., it would do
more good than ever free coinage of sill
yer. What we would be in favor of is an
entire paper currency, issued by the gov
eminent at cost, and backed by all prop
erty in the United States.
PlutOcracy would have no chance to
corner that kind of money. Coxeys plan
comes the nearest to my thinking Of
right.
God speed the day when a change will
be for the better. But cannot see how
It can come on a single gold standard, as

ALAS! ALAS!

Even that grand, noble, able, phil
anthropic magazine, The Arena. has
gone into the hands Of the enemy.
The Boston Transcript has this to
say on the subject:
"Au connection with the Arena
Publishing Company has been severed
by B. o. Flower, who formerly was the
treasurer of the company, and for a
long time the editor OF the magazine.
His formal resignation has been re-
ceived by the directors Of the COM
pany, and there is not the least doubt
Of its acceptance. Mr.. Flowers health
has been bad for perhaps two years,
and espec ally so during the last few
months. This fact. while easily ap-
parent to his friends and business as
Sociates. was not recognized by Mr..
Flower until matters reached a point
where there was no deceiving even
himself. lie has been greatly inter
ested in the recent political contest,
policy, has been staunch supporter
Of the Bryan party, believing fully in
the success Of the candidate. He
published in his editorial department t
many articles VIII CHI did not meet
with entire approval on the part Of
the board of management. lDdivid-
ually and collectively they feel that
The Arena is an open court, free to
discussion Of important questions of
the day; but it also was felt that
there was Il serious problem before
them when the articles on silver took
too much space, tC the exclusion OF
other material.
A reorganization Of the company
was effected in August, and at the an
nual meeting, which followed some
time later policy was mapped out
which Mr.. Flower, as editor, was eX-
pected to pursue. This confined him
wholly to the editorial department,
relieving him of all responsibility as
treasurer. The issue of the next
number to be published depended
Iomewhat upon Mr.. Flowers decis ion
In regard to continuing the editor
ship on q neW basis Of action. AS the
first OF December drew near, and
nothing had been heard from him
about The matter, the directors de-
cided that his resignation might fair
ly be requested. Before they took
this STEP however, the resignation
was received from Mr.. Flower.
The OH GERS OF the company did not
contest The petition for a temporary
receiver, yesterday. feeling that it is
for the best interests of all persons
concerned, as an equita bic plan, pend
ing the business changes to be made.
The Arena Company will be recapita
lied md placed IN ,e,c hands. There
will be no delay in the appearance of
next numbers of the magazine"
When we read between the lines we
perceive that the ton
party opposed Mr.. Flowers free.silver
policy; that they tried to control him
and he wouldn't be controlled; that
he is at last displaced, and there is to
be ga new basis of action" which,

that policy Of silence and suppress

Editor Representative. rang
l wish to call your ate ntiOn to the
time and manner of collecting taxes
in this state. Taxes become due after
the first of January of each year wilen
the masses Of the people are hard up
and unable to gather enough together
and pay all the taxes and keep the
wolf from the door. Why could not
there be IA law passed making one-lIalf
of the taxes to be paid the first Of
June and the last half On the first OF
December in each and every year.
Secondly what right has any corpora
tion to collect money from the masses
and give 1t in to the hands of the
banks for the banks to use and profit
by the money which honestly belongs
to the people. Why not leave it in the
hands of the people themselves and
let them have the use of it or part OF

cember. Hoping Sir, that you will

PERTINENT POINTS.

The banks collect annually $4O0, 000,-
600 interest. The total amount OF
money supposed to be In circulation
in the United States is 1888. 226. All.
OF this amount the banks take one
fourth as interest every year. Think
of it, With such a financial system,
