The national democratic party is
small in number but mighty in pro-
minent men. and resources. Its late
convention in Kentucky shows it to
be in lighting trim.
:. This leaves the Bryan democracy
an unknown quantity for the future.
The peoples party is also an unknown
quantity until after the fusion and
anti-fusion factions gets through with
their eternal strife.
But it is useless to waste any re-
grets over the failures of these efforts
at organized political reforms. Poll
tical reforms deosu't come by regular
steps of gradual development, but
rather in the zig-zag course of an OBJ
structed stream that breaks it's bar
ries by the strong current of flood
tide.
We notice that most of the peoples
party men in this section that we have
met and talked with look upon all ef-
fort to reform politics by the usual
methods of organizing political par
ties and fight campaign as futile.
This feeling is natural. Year after
year and campaign after campaign
these men have come to the front with
money and effort to keep up the Or
ganization only to be kicked at the
polls by the very men they were work
ing to benefit.
And so far as we can learn these
populists' leaders are quitting poll
tics for business.

few days ago, eff I had applied the
energy to business that I have spent
in politics during the last 10 years I
would have been we'll off to-day. And
what thanks have I? A kick" Now
this is gospel truth.
If there is to be any reorganization
of the peoples party new men must
step to the front and take the stand
ards from those who lie PROSTATE on
the battlefield. Let the rank and file
of the populists understand this
thoroughly that those who haye. ex-
hausted themselves financially or
otherwise in the cause and got moth
ing but kicks for their labor will never
again organize the peoples party.
They cannot do it.. and they will not
do it.
1t is this feature that has lead US to
say before this that we believe all re-
form movement through political par
ties is about played out. That we will
have to go on as we are until a vio-
lent upheaval takes place, until the
stream breaks the bank somewhere.

THE PEOPLETO BLAME.

We are in receipt of lengthy COM
munication complaining because the
railroads are giving what are called
FARMERS excursions" to the Twin
Cities. It asserts the writer's belief
that the ''big department stores'' and
and the railroads have joined "to
draw the customers of the merchants
in the small towns to the cities.''
Well, what Of it? Why kick? This
scheme of concentration and dis
elimination has been going on for Is
years. Who is to blame? The rail-
roads claim to make money by the
system and like it. The business men
of the large cities are making money
by it and have no occasion to kick.
The country merchants and villagers
OF this state have, since 1874, always
voted to continue all power in the
hands of the corporations and the
Twin Cities, and what right have they
to kick.
Only last fall, a great majority of
our people voted for just what they
have got and are getting-zthe cqncen=
trati9n Of wealth and political power
in the hands of corporations and their
favQrites. What moral right have the
men of the majority to KICK?
OF course the Herald has a right to
kick because it is a born kicker; but
just now we would advise the majority
to kick itself.
The majority of the voters have the
legal right and power to fix all rates
and prohibit all Determinations in
both freight and passenger rates.
FARMERS excursion rates." Especial
rates." "emigrant rates." etc., etc.,
should all be abolished, wiped out,
and one just rate fixed for all per-
sons and for each classification OF
freight. ....
What this country needs and all that
it needs is equal rights and privileges
for each and every person--saint or
sinner, clergy or, layman, Judge or
juror, governor or hod carrier, mil
lfonaire or pauper.> With equalrights
and privileges for all, monopoly and
combines would tumble. s@s..:..s.> 90. 30.

The stock market has scored a
remarkable advance.
The professional element in
Wall street have persistently
talked reaction; have held few
stocks and made little money.
They desire a decline.
A healthy reaction IS TO be de-
sired. but if you believe the re-
ports Of fine crops in this country
and of shortage abroad if you are
of the opinion that liquidation
has run its course, and that gen
eral conditions are favorable to re-
vival of trade, you will buy good
securities when they are dull or
upon slight reactions and realize
handsome profits before the end Of
the year.
Early frost in the corn or cotton
belt would injure our crops, but the
statistical position is such that a
decrease in expected yield would
be more than Offset by higher
prices.
War would be disastrous, but

ion there will be no war.
London shows an inclination
