From the MINNEAPOLIS Tribune. J

Heavy pressure is being brought to bear
upon Gov Elect Lind to secure from him
promise that Sidney M. Owen shall be made
dairy commissioner. While The Tribune is
not prepared to say that Mr.. Owen is push
ing his own candidacy in very active FASH
ion, it is nevertheless, a fact that his
friends are doing great deal Of work for
him. and that several of them have already
urged the propriety of such an appoint
ment upon Mr.. Lind. Mr.. Owen is one Of
the war horses of the reform forces and
is undoubtedly as much entitled to con-
sideration at the hands of the new admin
istration as any living man, and it would
not be surprising II he landed something
very good.
One by one the viftuous apostles of ere
FORM are dropping by the wayside. and
in their eagerness for place under the
new administration bid fair to forget that
II was the principle not the office, for which
they fought According to the Preston
Times, Maj. Hotchkiss is one of these. The
Times says; ..+ e.4.
It is rumored that Maj Hotchkss has his

shall have been installed. The idea Of the major

get Job. He deserves well from his party. and

THE SECRET WORK OF PLUTOCRACY.

SfGCHEI HtOHh OF PLUIOCRACI.
(Shoals, Ind, Referendum.)
systematic attempt is being made
by plutocracy to smash such Populist
papers as they can't buy or intimidate.
:. We notice that a circular has been
issued in Minnesota, purporting to come
from Populists, to try 10 substitute the
Eagle Eye, defunct and questionable
organ, for The Representative, Donnel-
ly's paper, for the state organ for Min
nesota, and thus kill off the old wheel
horse, Donnelly, and the influence of his
paper, which for 20 years has always
been true to the cause of Greenbackism
and Populism.
1t looks like a similar attempt has
been made on the Referendum in Indi-
ana, by the appointment of committee
whose duty was ito see about establish
ing state organ for the party" after
the Referendum had been made the
state organ. Since the appointment of
the committee, nothing has been done by
them to aid the Rerendum, and nothing
toward starting Estate organ" unless
the starting of the Populist Journal dur
ing the last days of the campaign at In
dianapolis can be traced to this COM
mittee.
If, after the work done foi' reform by
such papers as The Representative and
Referendum, men can be found in the
party mean enough to try to destroy
them for the pay of plutocracy, then
reform is indeed long way off.

of their virtue, steals from our little
children their daily bread, .leprives
them of an education and makes them
prema.urely old. 1t forces tears to the
eyes o. the mothers OF the land, pales
their cheeks, bows their forms and
breaks their hearts. 1t robs linen of
their independence, the laDorcr of his

army of Migrants. 1t fills tho yalls, the
almshoUses, the brOthels and the gam

on in breathless suspense.-Congress-

ried those states but for the fact fusion was
destroying the party in other states, which
had chilling effect upon the workers, be-
side it was almost impossible to secure re-
cruits owing toe the knowledge as to what
they were doing in other states. There is
absolutely no hope unless it will throw
overheard fusion in county, state and ma
ton. and stand by their colOrs, whether
they have a thousand or a million votes.
Make 1t a test of membership in the party,
that fusion will never again be entertained
under any circumstances. then and not I'M
til then, will life be generated in the party,
and growth take place. Personally our
course has been consistent: we have cour-
ageously adhered to principle and propose
to follow the same straight path in the
future; If our actions don't suit the poll
ticians of our own and other parties it is
because they think more of making trades
to secure an Office for some aspirant than
they think of principle. Unless the Peo-
pies party can be rejuvenated all refor m
effort will cease; either it must be rebuilt
or we shall witness over again the sham
battles on the tariff question between the
old parties.-Faribault Jeffersonian.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
hamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case Of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

State Central Committee Meeting.
Populists of Minnesota:
Our committee meeting has been held.
The first gun of the 1900 campaign has
been sounded in wild snow storm,
shrieking the doom of our people, unless
Ireeu from the present Industrial and
political system. Veterans like kanilly
and Hopkins, VINO pushed through The
great DRIFTS, TO meet in the dlngy print
ing O1hce, tell OF the stun our martyrs
are made OF. The snow bound trains
prevented a sufficiently representative
gathering to consummate the business
for which the meeting was called. But,
from those who did come, glorious re-
ports from the state were received.
The reform bubble, rising out of the
Democratic swamp is burst" ''The
Middle-of-theR Road men have at least
killed that dangerous fusion policy,
which. like all compromise measures,
is ruinous to every honest reform
:JOhn Lind, the self-confessed Republi
can, was allowed to win, because such
men as Lowry and Pillsbury, are now
putting their stamp of approval on him,
in the Eastern money markets, while
the Office seekers under Lind had their
heads knocked on stone wall" But
such pie hunters can never learn from
history. They are still voting for
Stephen A. Douglas Omnibus bill' of
1854 They believe in purified
Democracy even now under Horace
Greedy. Let Mid-Roaders for the next
two years in united and ever increas-
ing numbers persistently undermine the
strong holds of the over-confident and
insolent Republican robbers of the peo-
pie until they fall. In the wise words
of C. J. Arntzen, of Wegdahl, to the
committee: Let each Populist ~remefn-
Der that righteousness shall have it's
own reward. And from now on we can
grow as the Republican party did from
1852 to 1860. Let each Populist TALK

PLATFORM AND LESS ABOUT GER

pie, concise plan of organization, with

The meeting adjourned to reconvene at
rooms 400-1 Baltimore Block, st. Paul,
at 10 a. NJ, Jan. 3, 80. AS special rates
and inducements, because of the meeting
of the Farmers Alliance on the same
date can be then had, let us have full
representative meeting. 1t was unani-
mously agreed that at that time we shall
adopt some plan of organization har-
mOniOuS with the national plan under
which for the next two years our state
party work shall be done. 1t was also vot-
ed to request every member of our party
to present in writing his own plan for
state organization. He should be pres
ent to discuss the details, or, if that is
absolutely impossible, he can then have
them presented as his vote. by mailing
them in care Of the secretary of the state
committee. If received early enough
extracts can be presented in The Repre-
sentative, the brilliant paper that al
most single handed and alone stood in

pie, against your masters.
