1T Tor several months past, on account
OF the failing health Of Judge Kerr
lately deceased, who had been absent
from the state for the same time.
And a bill was conte plated wiping
out one Of the judges hips; but they
were going to have this law 60 into eff
feet at the expiration of Judge John
w. Willis term of Office, and in this
way purge the bench OF this popular
Judge, whose judicial mind was sus-
pected OF dealing out justice equally
TO the poor and rich.
But Immediately on the death of
Republican Judge 1t is instantly dis
covered that they needed another
judge to fill the Republican judges
place and needed him badly, SO much
so that before the late lamented
Judge Kerr was cold in the embrace
Of death, the Republican faithful
were clamoring and climbing over
each other in their greedy haste to fill
a dead mans shoes.
And Governor Clough appointed an
other corporation attorney to the va
can't judgeship and at once received
the homage and praise Of the lead
ing lawyers for the unselfish and
non-partiSan motives which inspired
Gold-Democrat and there fore Sc
cured nOn-partiSan equilibrium on
the Ramsey county bench; and by this
means hope to take the judiciary OF
this district out Of politics. Say, gen.
tie reader, what Is the difference be-
tween Gold-DemOcrat and a Repub-
licau? This is the composition OF the
Ramsey county judiciary now:-three
Republicans two GOld-Democrats and
one l6 to Democrat. And now they
wish to cut off the latter as unneces-
sary for their interests and purposes.

We hope we have heard the last of
the little scheme by which the local
Republicans had decided to retire
Hon. John W. Willis from the Ram.
scy county bench, now that they have
discovered it was impossible TO get
along with less than SIX judges.

What we have frequently said in
CONNIE ndation Of the T. M. Roberts
Supply House, Minneapolis, We wish
to again reatfirm. But few of our
readers have any idea Of the magni-
tude or character Of the business done
by Mr.. Roberts. The average stoc k
carried, necessary to the business, is
about quarter of million dollars;
over l53 PEOPLE are employed, and the
annual sales are over one million dol
lars, all made direct to the consumers.
This great business has been built up
in few years, and has been and is OF
incalculable value to consumers, since
in most cases they are enabled to buy
as cheap or cheaper than retail deal
ers can buy. Ca very important item
in these hard times.) This is practi-
cally conceded by wholesalers in the
Twin cities, who will sell Mr.. Roberts
nothing, even by way OF accommoda-
ton, would not after the late fire, and
In every way possible they emit arrass,
1t is only by selling goods very cheap,
and by the most honorable treatme at
Of patrons that business Of such
magnitude, and so annoying to the
Irregular" dealers who exact large
profits, could be built up. The read
erS Of THE REPRESENTATIVE are I'M
der obligations to this great ablis b.
ment, for it has saved them in the
aggregate very many dollars, and now
again is good time to show their APP
probation Of the efforts it has made
to serve them to such good purpose.
New and larger rooms have been Sc
cured and the facilities Of the house
are now larger than ever, for room is
adequate to store the large quantities
Of goods that it is necessary to buy at

prosperity is swallowing up the de-
voted and deluded vetaries of good
times. The latest victim outside of
seven or eight bank failures in the
Twin cities is Albert G. Johnson, the
auctioneer, who filed deed Of assign
ment yesterday in the Office of the
clerk OF courts. John II. Swenson is
the assignee.
1t is only necessary to glance over
the list Of names on the Populist
Committee to see Sheriff Wagner, in
reference to giving the Populsts a
fair share Of the deputies to be ap-
pointed by him to see with what ten

Populists in demanding one-third Of

We believe VIC can invite the whole
host Of pie-hunters from Minneapolis
and elsewhere, and give them from
now until eternity to make single

1t is needless to say that the action
of Mr.. Wagner has aroused the re-
sentiment or the whole Peoples Party
by his vulgar, and senSeless repudia-
tion Of the loyal and substantial sup
port rendered him by our party And
while we do not wish to place On the
party the odum which such coarse
and brutal action on the part Of the
representative Of the party who Sc
cured his office with and by the assist
ance OF the party he now so flagrantly
insults and ignores. We do assert
that the party whose representative
finds 1t within his power to outrage
the sense of honor and common de-
cency Of a party with 5000 votes will
have to reckon with this host Of out
ragged manhood in future campaigns;
and that hereafter the Peoples Party
will be found where their lesson OF
bitter experience has taught that
they should be namely, by themselves

BOLD ATTEMPT
To Rob the Hume Bank.
Safe and Building Wrecked by
Two Discharges OF Nitro.
Glycerlne.,

City Marshal Seeks Safety IN Flight.
A bold and almost successful at
tempt was made Saturday morning,
about l o'clock, to rob the bank at
Hume, small town in the southwest
portion of this county, by four rob.
bers.
The robbers gained entrance to
the bank by the use of tools secured
at blacksmith shop. Getting into
the bank three robbers went TO work
on the safe while one stood guard at
the door. Nitro o-gly ycerine was used
to blow the safe. The first charge
was not successful. The second
charge however wrecked the safe and
did considerable damage to the
building.
Fortunately for the bank officials
and the town the first explosion
aroused Sol Moore and his son
Lewis. who reside near the bank
building. Mr. Moore surmising
that the bank was being robbed, made
haste to notify the city marshal,
Patsey Powers, but before he had
gone lar he was collared by the rob
ber on guard and made to lie down
in the street in front Of the bank.
Right here, according to reliable re-
ports, matters began to take on q
ludicrous aspect.
Marshal Powers. who has always
been considered a brave and courag
eous officer. also heard the explosion
and summoning to his aid Jack Mes
singer and others, hastened to The
scene of the robbery. just abou,
the time Patsev got in range Of the
bank the second explo sicn took place
and at the same instant the robber
on guard took crack at Patsey, who
in turn took to his heels and made
for the Mitchell hotel and bursting
into the front door lau upstairs and
hid in a closet, where he remained
until after the robbers had taken
their departure.

HORTICULTURE.

Wick ranks SCOT as valuable thing in
his garden, especially that from coal; it
is not only of value as fertilizer to any
crop. but, because of bitter principle
it contains. it drives away insects from
all growing plants.
A western slope has at least one ad-
vantage-fruits are often spared from
the disastrous effects of the morning
sun bearing down upon them after a
frost.
Why not have some competent man
legally appointed in every community to
spray trees and destroy insect pests and
fungous diseases. taxing each man for
the number of trees grown? The thrifty
man would then no longer suffer from
the habits of his negligent neighbor.
1t is not so much the amount of man
ure applied that benefits the fruit crop,
but the per cent, which is in an availa-
BILE condition. IL we'll rotted it is solu-
BILE, and, therefore, easily appropriated.
To make the most profit out of his
business the gardener must not depend
entirely upon the good growing weather
but grow his vegetables when it is freez-
ing outside. The cheapening of the
construction of green houses is greatly
prolonging the growing season.
Almost any grower of choice fruit
would be glad to have his trees sprayed
regularly by some one adept in the
work. Such an one could also find daily
engagements in the vegetable gardens
of his community.
A perfectly healthy apple tree should
be 30 managed that. by the aid of the
pruning knife. every branch should
have chance to have its leaves fairly
well exposed to the light.

at least half endorsed, by Mr.. Arthur
Gilman, in the Nation for January 81.
When we consider how much Mr.. Gilman
did for the education of women during
his early connection with what is now
Radcliffe College, and that he is still at
the head of large school for girls in
Cambridge. Mass, it simply shows that
these fallacies have long lease of life.
They recur, and then they disappear
again. But the fact is that education is
education, and we must take the conse-
quencee. 1t is too late in the worlds
history to look back and sigh after a
separate girls table of logarithms or a
strictly feminine microscope. Least of
all can those who have heretofore done
much for the education of women now
turn and hesitate. They must keep up
with the procession. or it will proceed
over their heads.-T. w. H., IN Harper's
