Act II-Josh Reuben's country store.
Act III-Interior of Reuben's barn.
With some changes which are now
contemplated and which will be put in
operation in subsequent performances
The Sporting Craze may prove an
acceptable skit. The farce in itself is
bright, effervescent affair, entirely in
nocent of plot but affording scope for
an aggregation of more or less clever
specialties in which Courtright and
Adams easily take the lead. The
dancing and singing Of Emma De

Editor Representative:

and the zeal with which it throws in
to any measure or party almost as
SureS one that success is ever close by.
| doubt there can be a more disgrace
full scene in the dominion of his
satanic Majesty than to behold
hearty, stout men and women
throughout our country begging for
Woodwork to feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, teach the ignorant, S heller
the homeless and cheer the discon-
solate: all because the greed for filthy
lucrc' has became the god Of our ma
ton. The Alliance, when properly
conducted, is the best educator in
community, besides the s.business
aid'' it will prove to ali; it takes one
OF the best intellects to compound"
an interest in the fraternity that will
be shared by husband, wife, son and
daughter. that will command regu-
lar attendance. This interest is
probably lacking in more than half of
the lodges. They are without the
cement that holds-sticks. Printers

The Glad Hand Should be Held Out to All Our

Editor Representative:
While perusing the columns of THE
REPRESENTATIVE regret to find so
much abuse flung by some of our radi-
Cal comrades such as j. +. Jenkins,
and others againt the Bryan Free-Sil
yer Democrats and Frce-Silver Repub
licans. Cannot these men see that
they are hurting the Peoples Party
by so doing? Don't they know that
these people are converting them
selves to Populism? That they are
self-taught and will find refuge in the
fold of the Peoples Party. They are
children of Israel and are coming to
meet their brethren in the people S
promised land,-true and wide awake.
SO comrades desist in the practice for
justice sake. II you feel like venting
your wrath on any one ''cuss' these
PopuliStS who voted for the single
gold stand and against every reform
adopted by the Peoples Party.
Though l should not advice you to
'cusS" them much; rather take them
by the hand and show them where
they have erred, and the returning
spook confidence will assist you in
convincing them.
The Peoples Party is not hurt one
bit. Were you to test her strength
tomorrow you would be joyously sur
prised at her gain, in spite Of all the
traitors that may have deserted her.
This is all the confidence have met
with since Nov. 3rd.
The kind and unselfsh hand ex-
tended by the Populist party to the
Free Silver Democrats in the last
campaign will never be forgotten by
the reformers of the two old parties.
So, brethren, close not the gap that
lies between us but give them a
chance to join with us when their last
hopes are blasted by the two old par
ties. How many Of them will never
look at the old parties again. Thus
confidence will be restored

MARKET LETTER FROM ROBT
LINDBLOM & co,

Chicago, Feb. MAY wheat opened
at TAI to 734c, sold down to 1880 early
and hung around 1892 until near the
close, when the market advanced to
74lc and closed at that figure. The
opening was rather wild and the mar
ket was quite active for the first hour.
The latter part OF the session quite
dull.
The decline abroad is particularly
discouraging, coming on top OF our adj
vance Of last Saturday.
The past week, and even today, has
we'll illustrated the proposition which
we advanced some time ago. that q
consumptive demand alone would not
advance prices, SO long as there is no
present scarcity, but declining prices
will decrease the demand and increase
the supplies. The market ought to
hesitate while around these prices,
and it may be we'll to purs ue a scalp
ing policy, but | can see nothing to
base bull argument On until we get
into the period where the crop killer
can get in his work.
Corn, Oats and Provisions have re-
NAMED practically unchanged during
the excitement in wheat today, it con-
firms the solidity upon which prices
rest.

He dared not discuss the iniquities OF

cause it was foreign to the Democratic

prosperity is still of the declining
kind. Hogs so cents per hundred less
than one year ago. Potatoes with less
than one-half the acreage and one
half the yield per acre are in the same
notch they were last year because
they cannot go below nothing. Rye
not over one-third of last years crop
and brings say six dollars per acre less

instructive, an object lesson to old and

who desire to know what animals have
valuable fur on. BY getting 1000 Of
these made by the wonderful litho-
graphic process, we are enabled to fur
nish them and the Photo-engraving of
all the valuable fur skins, postpaid to
your subscribers at the low price of
ten cents. AS wall pictures, they are
worth five times that price, and the
knowledge they give to the young, a
hundred times that. Yours truly,

We have seen the autographs men
toned in the above letter. They are
very fine, instructive and we'll worth
having, and the low price of 10 cents

this opportunity. The Northwestern

reliable people, and conslgnmentss sent
to them are sure Of the best atten ton.
