paratively mild, but his critics
should remember that he has be-
come a resident Of Iowa, "There is
a crisis in that party to day" he said,
referring to the populist party.
There has been an organized at
tempt to destroy that party, and it
has largely succeeded. Where IS
the populist party I? 1t is like a
ship started on a grand cruise on
the ocean that has been deserted by
its trusted officers after being
looted" From this, it will be seen
that the Iowa fusionists cannot
count upon the support of the ex-
governor in their schemes. Himself
a product of fusion, he utterly re-
pudiates it now.

To Break the s.Endless Chain

- IhAAC
President McKinley's suggestion
with regard to a modification of
our laws rning the greenbacks
does not seem to be understood by
all, Under our present system a
holder of greenbacks may go to the
treasury, present his bills and get
gold coin in return. The government
is under obligations to reissue the
greenbacks. 1t was this system
which enabled Wall Street to draw
so heavily upon our gold reserve -
the one hundred million reserve,
that we heard something about in
former days. The reissued notes
could again be taken to the treasury
and another invoice of gold coin
withdrawn. Under this system,
the holder of greenbacks always
knew where he could get gold coin
in exchange for his money. This
sort Of "endless chain" could con-
tinue forever, or as long as Uncle
Sam could buy gold by selling
bonds. President McKinley's rec
ommendation is that whenever these
greenbacks are presented to the
treasury for gold, these greenbacks
be not reissued except in exchange
for gold. This is the sum and sub

One of the railroads in South
Dakota has refused to obey the or
der Of the state commissioners to
run two trains over a line where
there IS only business enough for
one, as they claim, but the populist
commissioners have been too busy
trying to use up two years appro-
priation in one year to get out and
rip up the tracks and raze the sta

very things he was so anxious to

How the Expense Fund is Going
Letcher Blade

Letcner blaues
The next thing we shall hear from
the railroad commissioners will be
that their expense fund is exhausted
as well as their litigation fund, and
that they will be unable to attend
to complaints of the public because
there is no money to pay their ex-
penses. A few days ago, the entire
commission went to Chicago to meet
Senator Pettigrew on his arrival
from Japan, and Commissioner La
Toilette hurried from Chicago to
Huron to attend a meeting of the
reform press association--all at the
states expense, of course. The
record will probably show that this
expense is for "taking testimony" in
Chicago, and to consult the commits
~sioner's attorney on public business
at Huron. These railroad commits
sioners are gay reformers.

When the state funds, under
militia guard, were transported to
Pierre last winter to be counted, it
was given out with a grand flourish
by the organs that, in certain contin-
gies, Governor Lee would pay the
cost he promised the same thing
for legal help to prosecute the May
hew case. We have never heard OF
MS having had to do SO in either
case, but he is again to the front
with another grand-stand offer to
advance the railroad commissioners
funds to continue their payments to
lawyers for services in the railroad
cases. Nothing like having a
plutocrat for governor who can make
such offers good, but at the rate the
railroad commission is paying attor-
ney fees, there will be a ~large-sised
deficiency at the end of two years,
and a suspicion arises that this what
is wanted as much as any relief the
people would receive by the prose
cution Of the cases. A good-sized
deficiency for the next Legislature
(surely republican, to fill and then

calling the criticism of the Republicans
for their abandonment of the bounty
system. Mr.. Allison said that system had
been adopted to encourage the sugar
industry. 1t had failed, first perhaps,
because OF the rapid and unexpected
strides made in both the beet and cane
Srowths, and second, because the Dem
ocratic party decided to do nothing to
encourage the system. This was an ag-
rlcultural industry. The schedule would
succeed or fail as 1t succeeded or failed
to establish the beet sugar industry IN
this country. The schedule might not be
arranged precisely as it should be. but
1t was confessediy within q fraction Of
other schedules. If Senators on the
other side could show that there was
an Injustice he would he said, try to
