surprised than they were on the oocas-

Its present shape with it's commodious
lobby and Its beautiful interior decora-
tons, the Bi1ou easily distances other
local playhouses. Every possible care
has been taken for the comfort Of the
patrons and more cosy or better con-
Quoted theater would be hard to find.
The season will be inaugurated with the
same rules in regard to prices that has
hitherto prevailed.

OUR. EORUM.

Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
600 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will he given
preference. Write them on one side of
the paper only. If written on both sides
they will not be printed under any
circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely together.
A plainly written letter conforming to
these rules will stand by far the best
chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations we
admit the widest liberty Of thought and
expression upon the part of our corre-
spondents, while we do not hold our
selves responsible for any views which
may be put forth.
The Forum, as It's name implies, is a
sort of debating school, for the discus
sion of the important questions of the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to keep
clear of the shoreless and bottomless
sea of religious debate.-Ed.

were present and could outvote the en-
tire congress three to one on rising
votes.
Every plank of the platform OF the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union of America, representing
100000 farmer members, was defeated
Except the establishment of postal saw
ings banks). The congress thus putting
the agricultural interests of America on
record as favoring trusts. monopolies
railroad extortion, contracting the cur
rency, favoring the low prices of farm
products by system of scarce money
and dear money, opposed to the restora-
ton OF silver as part of the currency
of the constitution, and opposed to the
initiative and referendum. In nearly
every substantial policy that the inter-
est of the farmer demanded he was turn
ed down. and the whole business was
converted into a political machine to
perpetuate in Office a clique Of political
parasites.
How long will the farmers permit
their interests to be exploited in favor
of political tricksters, who have no more
regard for you than the grasshopper on
the fence of Kansas farm looking into
the field singing, 'how much is there
in there for me-"
The admiration and thanks of the al
lance should be extended to Hon. H. l..
Loucks, of South Dakota, formerly pres
ident of the National Farmers Alliance
of America, and L. H. Weeley, of Iowa,
also prominently connected with alli-
ance matters in his state. for the able
fearless and continuous fight against the
overwhelming odds arrayed against
them The national congress did us
the courtesy of electing me an honorary
member of the congress, and extended
the privilege of delegate to me as rep
resenting the Nat. F. A. & l. U. of Amer
lea. And thep respect of having the
alliance paper read at the congress was
turned down by the representatives of
lea. And the prospect of having the
charge of the program. This was the
reason why the Farmers Alliance was
not presented at the congress.

power is vested in a legislative body"
And what power the people have on
passing through these VIGOROUSLY in
competent and corrupt legislative bod
les is perverted and partakes of the
nature of the incompetent and corrupt
body through which it passes. This is
naturally and philosophically inevita-
BILE, as will appear when we consider
that even the pure light of the sun
passing through red, blue Or black
medium, changes from it's original pure
light into redness, blueness or black
ness, as the case may be- The sun of
heaven, shining its direct light and heat
upon the earth, produces fruits, grains,
and grasses, and in it's unobstructed
llfe-pOwer, beautiful birds and useful
animals of every variety move, live and
have their being. But, If there comes
in between the earth and the sun
tanglewOod Of poisonous trees and num-
erous vines, these receiving the pure
light and heat of the sun, appropriate
and change it to their own noxious
nature; and thus medicated to the
earth beneath, there will spring nox-
ious weeds, venemous vermin and
creeping reptiles. So the power of the
people, like the power of the sun, will
be determined by the channel or med
ium through which it comes to the DO
litical earth or plane where effects are
produced.
Such faith on the part Of legis-
lators has destroyed the confidence
among the people of all parties in thus
making laws; and there is widespread
desire and actual demand for some or
derby and constitutional method by
which the law making power shall be
wrested from the legislative oligarchs
composed Of misrepresentation, cars,
kings of the caucus, and the lobby rul-
ing over them all, and restored direct
to the people. Such measure can be
had in what is commonly known as the
initiative and referendum system Of
legislation; a system which will restore
all political and law making power
direct to the people.

1t Will be observed that in Great Britain
the average number of messages sent
was Il per capita, while in the United
States the number of messages sent was
ABOUT .O6 per capita or one inhabitant
OF Great Britain sent three messages to
one in the United States.
This grows out of the fact of govern
ment ownership of the telegraph Ad-
hitting that the people of the United
States are as intelligent as those of

with them in business activity, it will
be seen that if the people of Great Brit

OF 100000, and this would be the case

The Farmers of the State Are Repudi-
ated, Ignored and Insulted by
Governor ClOuEh.

OF all conventions or congresses OF
recent years the National Farmers con-
gress, which just closed it's labors, offers
itself as the most stupendous fraud that
has presented itself to public notice for
some time.
The partisan spirit of Republicanism
which dominated the proceedings of
that body was so narrow, arrogant and
expressive. that anything which did not
smack of a high Republican flavor was
received with the most demonstrative
expressions of disapproval.
1t was at once an appendage of Re-
publican expression and approval of
political doctrines advocated by that
party.
But what could be expected when
such representative delegates as Dan F.
Rees, clerk of the supreme court of Min
nesota, and State Executive Agent Full
lerton, of the game warden's office, and
other eminent agriculturists proclaimed
that "the reason for the great distress
of the farmers was because he left the
pillow in the furrow where he left off
blowing year ago, and he was gen.
orally found at the village grocery store
or crossroads discussing the financial
question.
The intelligence Of the farmers of the
state of all political parties was most
grossly insuted by those hired political
strikers Of political party who first
ignored the farmers by refusing to ap-
point any from the $4,000 membership
of the great farmers Organization known
as the Farmers Alliance of Minnesota.
And then further insulting their intelli-
gence by casting the slur that those who
had manhood or intelligence enough to
discuss public questions of great inter-
est and importance to themselves would
be branded as representing that char
acter of farmer above indicated.
AS we said in our last week interview
with the governor, we did not think
that the Farmers Alliance would re-
ceive much consideration at his hands.
and from the whole list of names we
submitted to him but one delegate was
present (Hon. B. H. Rahilly), who had
received his commission nearly a month
before. . ....

bowling farce it was when it is known

Abort Fusion.

Wharton Barker, in his splendid paper
"The American" in speaking of fusion,
says:
"The Democratic party seems to think
a great deal of the policy of fusion when
the other party does the fusing, but to
see little good in fusion when the DEM
ocratic party must give as we'll as take
to bring fusion about 1t is fine thing
to accomplish fusion with the Populist
party, when such fusion amounts to a
fiat endorsement of the Democratic can
didates, by the Populists, but fusion is
bad thing, and not to be thought Of,
when a prerequisite to the accomplish
ment of such fusion is the endorsement
by the Democrats of a Populist candi-
date. In short, when the Populists do
