A LOCAL REVIEW.

Our esteemed friend, Mr.. S. M.
Owen, will be sorry to hear that Doc
tor r. W. Fish, formerly editor of
THE Great West" is in a bad way
His Pen Yam newsp paper has collapsed
and he is now in hospital in Chicago
poor and dangerously i'll.
The doctors last appearance in pub
lie affairs in Minnesota was in the an.
nual convention of the State Farmers
Alliance, in 1893. when. with the help
of the Owen family,he made desper-
ate battle to defeat our reelection as
president OF the State Farmers ALI
ance-and failed. He retreated from
this state soon afterwards, and went
to South Dakota: and failing there, in
two locations, he removed to the state
of New York. We are only sorry he
did not take Mr.. Owen with him.
The hardest part Of the business on
us, was that we quarreled with Fish
on account OF his attacks on Owen in
1892; and then Owen joined with Fish
to dishonor us. by defeating us for a
little Office that paid nothing.
The career of Doctor Fish is a strik-
ing evidence Of the truth of the
words Of the great poet:
corruption wins not more than hone .ty'
II he had been true to the principles
he preached THE REPRESENTATIVE
would never have been started: and
Doctor Fish to-day, instead of being
a ruined and probably dying man,
would be at the head OF one Of the
greatest newspapers in the nation,
and honored and respected by a vast
number of Intelligent and worthy De O.
pie. But he sold out to the enemy, for
a few thousand dollars, and sold his
future for "a mess of pottage." He
then tried to hold control Of the peo.
pie he had betrayed, by printing, week
after week and month after month,
whole columns and pages OF scurrilous
abuse Of ourself; and he sought popu.
lar endorsement by defeating our
reelection, with Ovens assistance, to
the presidency of the Alliance.
We forgave Owen for the third
time, and supported him earnestly fol-
governor in 1894: but in 1896 he drove
the knife into US again, in the pres
ence OF the whole nation; and also
tried to betray the most important
principles of the Peoples Party. His
power for evil. thank God, is now as

WOODEN SHOES.

We notice 10 our local stars indica-
tions of new manufacture starting
up. This is what the gold bugs said
would happen; but this particular
article is the wooden shoes that were
worn by the Hollanders in olden
times; and do not think it is mark
of prosperity, but rather step in the
other direction.-Fe Falls Globe.
That's right. Do not let anything
stop our advance to European condi-
lions.
The gold standard means that every
farmer shall become peasant and
eventually serf.

SURINKAGE.
We met, the other day. on the
streets OF st. Paul, that eminent citi-
zen and soldier, Gen. John B. San
born,-a lifelong Republican but an
earnest advocate Of free-silver. The
converse ton turned on the falling off
of values, due to the demonetization of
silver and the contraction of the cur
rency. and the General alluded to the
Mintzer Estate, of st. Paul. Mr..
Mintzer 1--WE knew him welD, believ we'd
several years ago That he was worth

POPULISIIC IDEAS.

When the bill was up in the House
to permit the issuing of bonds of ST.
600 each, to the extent of $500, 900, dur
ing five years, to help construct the
State Capitol, Judge Nettleton, Of
Dodge moved to ISIS e the bonds in
denominations Of $50 each, instead Of
$1,000 each. The idea seemed to be
to let these small bonds pass form
hand to hand and act as substitute
for money, which is now so woefully
scarce.
So the Populist ideas grow from day
day. and "those who come to scott re-
main to pray"

FREE HOMESI'EADS.

We are glad to note that our idea of
exempting homestead, occupied by
its owner, to the value of $1,000, from
all taxation, is taking wonderfully.
The producers have too long submit

burdens Of taxation laid on their

THE COST OF THE GREEN
BACKS.
A GREAT LIE EXPOSED.

Our friend, Hon. j. NJ. Bowl,r. has
called our attention to an article in
the Minneapolis Times of March goth,
in reference to the cost of the green
backs. We quote some extracts from
this editorial:
IL. S. G." of Mortified, Mimi, asks
us 1t true, as Controller Eckels is
quoted as saying recently, that the
green backs have cost the people of
the United States more than 800. 900, :
900 directly? II so, will you kindly ex-
plain how it has been DONE"
The controllers statements is true.
Ihe nation has been obliged to pay in
terest in one way or another, on an
average of more than $lJO. COCO for
the sake of securing the greenb backs
and giving them steady and certain
value. The following statement pre-
pared by the officials of the treasury
department and embodied in the las t
report of the controller, shows the
cost OF maintaining the gold reserve

TWO SUSPICIOUS PERSONS.

One the House Painter Making an Es- innate, and the Other the T1mid Housewife.
 She lives in a very much detached house out in Central Park. Her near est neighbor, two blocks away, had a visit from burglar on Sunday night, and she heard of it on Monday. Her husband Is down town all day and, of course, she got nervous.
 Yesterday she had just finished set ting the house to rights and had gone out on the porch to do bit of sewing and, incidentally, to see that the chill dren got into no more mischief than she could prevent.
 She hadn't been there more than half an hour when brigandish-looking per- son, with a rough suit of clothes, a three-days' beard, and face that gen. eralIy. looked as If 1t had seen better days. came swaggering down the walk and stopped in front of the house. She was frightened. She immediately thought of daylight burglars, kidnap- pers and all sorts of criminals. The brigand looked up at the front of the house. He scanned every portion of 1t. He counted the windows one by one, pointing at each with grimy foref1n-
 
 ger.
 Her teeth cl1attered. Down the road the children were peacefully making mud pies. She almost fainted. Then the brigand went around to the side Of the house. She timorously peered through the vines. He was looking 1n- tently at the side, surveying 1t critical ly as if looking for the best point of en- trance, and he counted the windows there. too. Worse than that, he took a bit of paper and carefully sketched a plan of the bow, window that has the honavsuckle trellis making it so easy for a burglar to get into the second sto- ny.
 She went into the house, her heart bounding in her bosom. Then she cast one long glance at the children. saw that the brigand had not noticed them, and scurried out of the side door and across the fields to her neighbours.
 "Oh. Jenniel" she gasped, as she stumbled up the steps of the neighbor's s house. '"Theres the wickedest-looking man over there, and just know he's going to burgle or something dreadful. He's making a plan of the house."
 Then she collapsed.
 Jennie was frightened, too, but she  had a telephone in the house. She tot tered over to the telephone. rang the bell nervously and besought the girl to give her the nearest police station.
 "Mr. Policeman" she stammered, "Mr. Policeman, there's a burglar over here. Send lot of officers over here at once''
 She gasped out the street and number and then the two women huddled in the dark dining-room until a big copper fat and out of breath, thundered up to the door.
 Where's the burglar?" he asked, as soon as he could speak.
 "Over there." said both women al once. cover there He's making plans of the house."

 The brigand was sitting on the horse block, laboriously writing something on the paper he had been drawing the plans on. Down the road the children were still making their pies of mud.
 The policeman sprang for the brigand and seized him by the collar. Here, " he said, what do you mean coming-?'
 "Leggo my collar" yelled the brig and, squlrming to free himself. What n lps the matter with you?"
 Don't try none of your funny busi- ness on me-" commanded the police man, Tt won't go" Well" asked the brigand, what do you mean by grabbin' me like that? I l ain't done nothin'."
 "No," said the policeman, sternly, ''but you're gettin' ready to do some second-story work in that house."
 What house?" demanded the brig and.
 That house."
 "Me?"
 "Yes, you"
 The brigand shouted with laughter. If 1t ain't no secret, perhaps you'll tell me what the joke is," broke in the policeman, now a bit mystified.
 'Joke," roared the brigand, q should say 1t was g. joke, Why, the man that owns that houses goin' to git 1t paint ed and he hired me to do the Job. was flggeriu' on it'
 The policeman stalked majestically down the street. The children had their mud pies nearly ready for the oven. She, the woman, said she didn't care. He looked like burglar, any ! way and Jack had no business talking about getting the house painted with out letting her know about it.-Buffalo | Enquirer.

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS.

The first National Congress of
Mothers will meet in Washing
ton February II for a session of
three days. The meeting will
be conducted by mothers, and
attended by mothers from all
parts of the country, and will
result, it is hoped, in the gener-
al establishment of mothers
clubs throughout the land.
The object of the Congress is
to consider questions bearing
upon the better and broader
spiritual and physical, as we'll as
mental, training of the young,
such as the value of kindergarten
work aud the extension of it's
principles to more advanced
studies, love of humanity and
of country, the physical and men-
tai evils resulting from some of
the present methods of our
schools, and the advantages to
follow from a closer relation be-,
tween the influence of the home
and that of institutions of learn
ing.
Of special importance will be
the subject of the means of de-
veloping in children character
istic which will elevate and en-
noble them, and thus assist in
overcoming the conditions which
now prompt crime, and make
necessary the maintenance of
jails, workhouses and reforma>
tories.
These matters will be present.
ed to the Congress by men and
women we'll known in such
work. Arrangements have been
made by the Washington cons
mittee to have Mrs. Cleveland
receive the delegates at the
White House On the afternoon of
February 18TH.

Music as a Panacea.

After the water cure We now
have the music cure, and the
French and German papers are
devoting much attention to it. 1t
is seriously prescribed AS cure
for nervous diseases, and it is
claimed that it can remove some
maladies in the space of few
weeks. It is also asserted that
musical hospital is about to be
established IN Munich, where the
patients will be regularly dosed
at proper intervals with instru-
IN entail and vocal music.
The idea that music can cure
diseases of the body is by no
means novel. Everybody admits
that singing possesses almost a
magical power. 1t was by in
cantation, accompanied by the
strongest instruments, that the
sorcerers of antiquity prepared
their charms and their evil do
ings. BY playing the harp David
soothed the sadness of Paul.
The belief that singing cures
not only the ills Of the mind, but
also the maladies of the body, has
been perpetuated till the present
time. At the end of the eigh-
teenth century Princess Belmont
Pignatelli, the patroness of all
talents. and particularly musical
talents, became i'll. She was
visited by Chevaliey Raaf, the
celebrated singer, who happened
to be in Paris at that time. No
sooner had he come into her pres
ence than she begged him to
sing an airette. The singer con-
sented, and chose a piece by
IIasse called "The Saxon
While he was singing tie fever
of the princess ceased complete
lv. Her medical attendant, who
was present, said to her, point
ing, to the artist: There, ma
dam is your real doctor" The
