Christopher Columbus Andrews" with
ton to his period of office!!!
The general is a great fool, but he
knows how to take care of himself. He
is like the Scotch idiot, who, when
Knocked for his imbecility, replied that
"he never lost anything by it," An
drews has been in Office most of his life
time and he scarcely has brains enough
to keep the goats from eating him.
1t is as good as play to watch the
oracular flexuosities of the generals
mouth as he delivers one of his pro-
found utterances. Mrs. Worthington
said it reminded her of the similar
movements which accompanied the in
PRODUCTION of hens egg into the world.
But is it not terrible to think that the
people of Minnesota will have to spend
$4,000 during the next two years, in the
midst of all their poverty, to support
this elaborate old humbug; who will sit
in st. Paul and extinguish fires three
hundred miles away? Even CULVER
could not do that when he was in tho
land of the Lilliputians, and saved the
queens palace.
The state must go Populist next year.
if for no other reason than to get clear
of Christopher Columbus, etc.

We enter upon the fifth year of the
existence of this paper with the belief
that there is good work yet for us to
do. We have preached the doctrines
we are now advocating for quarter of
century. We have to build up great
party which is today coextensive with
the nation. THAT PARTY MUST NOT
DIE!
The fate of the human family, we
solemnly believe, is wrapped up in it's
success
We hold out the hand of friendship to
every man who is ready to assist us in
making it's principles triumphant; but
we have razor-edged battle axe with
which to cleave to the saddle every
knave who seeks to betray and destroy
it.
Here we stand! God help us to pre-
serve in our generation, liberty and JUS.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, ETC

How His Nest-Egg Was Not Smashed.
Mr.. Goss. OF Winona-an earnest, able.
Jealous, honest, well-informed young
Populist from winona county
introduced . bill in the house to
repeal the act establishing the Office
of state fire warden, now held by that
distinguished pap-sucker, General Chris
TOPPER Columbus Andrews-the biggest
old humbug on the planet.
The bill went kiting through both
houses almost unanimously, but Chris
TOPPER Columbus, etc., made a personal
appeal to Gov. Clough, to save his
bread and butter; and the governor ye-
toed the bill; and so the taxpayers will
have to support Christopher Columbus,
etc., for two years more, at a cost of
$4,000 per year. And he will be Of as
much use to Minnesota as the fifth
wheel of wagon. Imagine a man in
the Red River Valley telegraphing the
fire warden at st. Paul that fire has
broken out near his house! If the fire

it will have burned up a township or
two.
Before this firewardenship was estab-
lished the neighbors willingly turned
out to extfnguish fires, simply to protect
their own property. Now it is different.
Mr.. Douglas of Moorhead, stated on the
floor of the house that men now kindle
fires and then charge $500 day for
putting them out, as deputy fire war

THE POPULISTS WE'RE RIGHT.

THE POPULIsTs WERE RIGHT.
The Minneapolis Journal of April 16
says editOrially:
while Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict of last
November, are looking forward hopeful
ly to renewing what they call the bat
tie for silver at the next congressional
elections; while a bimetallic commits
sion has just been appointed to visit the
European governments in the interest
of international bimetalllsm, there may
be perceived all over the world an I'M
mistakable drift toward the single
ment of the United States commission
ers the dispatches from Europe indicate
that THEIR MISSION WILL BE
FRUITLESS, and that there is no more
probability of those governments re-
turning to bimetallism than there is Of
their returning to f1int-lock muskets for
their armies. The latest announcement
is from Russia, which is to the effect
that she is irrovocably committed to the
gold standard"
Of course. Their mission will be
Ruthless" and the missionaries and
those who sent them there know it will
be fruitless. They are simply going
through the motions" Their object is
to fool the fool people.
They promised last fall that they
would get Europe to agree to remone-
tie silver. They know, as the Journal
admits, that they can do nothing Of the
kind; but like the convicted criminal
under sentence of death, they will do
anything to obtain a few months respite
before an indignant public tightens the
rope around their necks.
England and, in this controversy,
England is Europe, is now getting all
our productions, which she needs to
feed her people, for half-price, and these
knaves tell us that England loves lis so
dearly CO that, to oblige us, she will
be glad to remonetize silver, and pay
us twice as much as she now pays us for
the board bill of her people,!

ought to be prevented from marrying,

THE COURT VETOES THE LAW.

The legislature of Indiana passed an
act to reduce street car rates in Indian
apolis from five to three cents The
railroad company refused to obey the
law. The people began to threaten mob
violence. and the grand jury commenced
to consider the Indictment of the recaici-
trant officials. They became frightened
and gave orders to their employees TO
obey the law. Thereupon the people re-
joiced over a victory for self-govern-
ment. But alas! as usal, the United
States court stepped in and enjoined
the railroad companies from obeying the
law, and the rates went back to five
cents! And now the good people are
gnashing their teeth and pulling their
hair. and enquiring where liberty is
any how. She is like the fellow the
constable tried to arrest: "Non-con o.
at-i-bus. UP stumpo, in swampo."

OF our country. 1t is a cry of despair
1t would almost seem as If representa-
tive government had been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
What has caused this universal rotten
ness? The answer is plain: It is cor
porate interests seeking to protect them
selves by corruption. This has de-
Dauched newspapers, courts and legis-
latures and infected the whole public
mind. Men seek place so as to share in
the distribution OF the spoil.
There is no remedy but government

London, April 1.-THE Globe, st.

assure the people of England that the
administration is not big enough fool to
believe any such nonsense. Nor are the
Inhabitants of the Atlantic coast of the
United States. They know which side
their bread is buttered on. This 'inter-
ternational commission" business is in
tended for use in Minnesota and other
western states, to persuade fools, in the

| the election ballots; and all the candi-
dates of all the parties that cast one per
cent of the vote in the previous election,
| are entitled to have the names of their
candidates placed on that official ticket.
| Now the Populists and Democrats to-
gether cast 162,254 votes last fall-while
| $500 would have been one per cent of
| the total vote. But the vote was ar
ranged on the ballot in this way.
For Governor:

Under the circumstances while John
Lind received 162,254 votes against 1861
| 9O6 for Gov. Clough, it is impossible to
say how many of the 162,254 were given
| by Populists and how many by Demo-
| crats;-in fact it is difficult to show
that $500 were cast by either party!
To cure the technical defect we intro
| duced a bill in the house, and secured

vote, which declared that in such cases
the vote should be considered to have
been cast half and half, by the two par
our colleague, Senator Schaller, took it
up and did his best to secure it's passage.
But the Republicans thought they might
secure some petty advantage over their

might pass PROVIDED THE TWO

NEXT ELECTION!
The proposition was so OUTRAGEOUS
and shameful and unparalleled that Sem

bill be defeated!

Greer.
We ask all Populists and Democrats
| to mark these men when they come up
for office again-and crush them.
Attorney General Childs is the man
| who picked out this technicality, and
avowed in advance the way he should
rule upon it. It will be a sight to tickle
| the risibilities of an iron bed-post, to
see him ruling that both the PopuIists
| and Democrats must get up petitions,
signed by 1000 voters each, to get their
| names on the state ticket in state
| where they cast 162,254 votes. When
the Democrats appeal to him he will
| tell them that the legal presumption is
that all those 162,254 votes were Popu-
lists; and when the Populists put in
their claim he will assure them that he
is sure all the 162, 254 were Democrats!

But we will get the 1000 signers,-
yes, 100000 if necessary and we will
get them at the state convention-or by
agents sent out from these. It will be
considerable trouble, however, for each
slgner has to be sworn; and notarles
public have to go along to administer
the oaths. But all that trouble and ex-
pense will simply intensity our wrath
against that quartette: Spencer
Knatvold and Greer,-who, for shah
by, dirty, little party advantage put us
to all that annoyance.

THE GOOD TIMES.

DCLUTI, Mimi, April 21.-This city Is
studying the financial question as it has
never studied it before. Just now the
chief center of disturbance is in the city
schools, where tremendous cut will have
to be made in expenses. The board is to
meet Saturday night to take some action,
1t appears that the tax dellnquencies
which have been very large for three years
are to be still larger this year, and con-
servative estimates put the delinquencies
for the year 1896 taxes at 70 per cent 1t
is alleged that the delinquent taxes are
more than the entire levy for 1885, At the
last meeting Of the school board one speak
er said it looked as if the schools must be
closed Or the city must default in interest,
but that is probably very much of an ex-
aggeration.
1.-THE school board is Directing to so heavy
cut as Is demanded in many quarters
while other city departments are to be run
with a very much less proportionate re-
duction.''
Read that and then think of the pr0i1-
Uses made by the Republicans last fall,
as to the immediate prosperity that was
to follow McKinley's election!
The awful liars!
Then think Of those other prophecies
of what would follow If Bryan was elect
ed! The banks were to burst-the bust
ness men were to fail-the factories
were to stop-the workingmen were to
starve and beg. And all those things
have come to pass and yet Bryan was
not elected!
The gates of hell must have come ajar
last fall, and all the demons slipped
through and took possession of the peo-
pie of the United States.
And we have not got to the end Of the
demoniacal influences yet Plutocracy
still rules the world, and we will have
to smash it's jaws to drag the prey, (the
human family, from between it's teeth
