Last week the Peoples party state
committee was reorganized with Fran
els Fl. Clarke, Esq, chairman. He
has removed headquarters to St.
Paul, that city being his home and
place of business. Mr.. Stacy resigned
from the craftsmanship because of his
candidacy for city Office in Minnea-
polls which will occupy his full time.
The change is a good one. Mr..
Clarke is methodical. a popular lawyer
and an earnest populist disconnected
with factionalism and will give his un-
divided attention to the canvass. His
removal Of headquarters to St Paul
disconnects it with the personal con-
flcts that have ragged in Minneapolis
and will have tendency to heal all
differences growing out of that con-
tention: Now let every reformer get
to work in real good earnest for a
united harmonious pull against plu-
tocracy. To sulk by the way because
ones own notions have not been
adopted is rank treason. To follow
Donnelly, or any other bolter, only ex-
poses weakness or infidellty that
does not belong to a patriotic hero.
Give Chairman Clarke your confidence
and best cooperation and we will
come out of the contest victors. The
tide has turned in favor of REFORM

NJ the same time be IL true party
Of the people?

THE silver issue has never had
% SQUIRE test before the Ameri-
can people, and yet the gold or
gans claim the question is dis
posed Of. -Four years ago there
WAS not IL political party in the
country that dared to come out
III favor of the gold standard,
and even two years ago there
Was no party except the Grover
Cleveland democrats that de-
clared absolutely for gold. The
question will be settled in 1900,
if it is settled right. Meanwhile
the issue is a very live one when
ever it bears upon members of
congress. The republicans do
not care to discuss the question;
that is the main reason for the
absurd position they take. A
party that persistently talks
tariff although there is not a
word that can be said on the sub.
ject that has not been worn
thread bare in the mills of cent
ury of campaigning ought not to
suffer ennui over an issue which
has not yet had a square test,
unless they have an underlying
purpose in so doing.

Il like John Lind and think he
would make good governor, "
said party-tied republican the
other day, "but then you see he
left the party We offered the
fellow indisputable proof that the
"party' had left John, that John
had the same belief he always
had held, and that the party was
wandering after strange gods.
He admitted that the party had
changed front and there were
many bad things he couldn't ex-
plain, but still his party loyalty
overcame that. We couIdn t
help but think how good citizen
this gentleman would make if he
only loved his state better than
his political party. John Lind s
attitude when his old ompanions
tum b]ed over each other in order
to avoid clash with the gold
bug ,bondocracy, reminds US of a
stanza from the production of a
celebrated Swedish poet, which
the following translation but
poorly reproduces:
dered more and more,
For far from turning back at once, down on
the bridge he bore;
And thus he stood, erect and calm, and steady
as a rock,
Prepared to show that henceforth, none his
skill in arms might mock"

WE HAVE PROSPERITY.

NORTHWESTERN farmers are
not going to market their wheat
faster than the consumptive de-
mand will take it. = There
are very few farmers in Mime
sofa who have not money to loan.
For the last year we have been
able to borrow money cheaper in
Minnesota than in New York or
Boston. 4 Farmers don't
have to sell their wheat to get
money for running expenses.
They have plenty OF money and
can not be forced to sell. There
are hardly any mortgages left in
Minnesota now. Minnesota and
Wisconsin are probably the two
states that lead, as far as general
prosperity among farmers is con-
cerned.":
G. A. Pillsbury, the great Min
neapolis miller, is credited with
making the above report at New
York. 1t is easy enough to make
out prosperity if one will lie SO
heedlessly. There is nota wheat
farm that will at present prices
pay cent on the investment of
land and machinery after fair
wages have been paid those who
have been engaged in raising the
crop. The recent little specula-
tive boom in wheat probably en-
abled few whose farms are
mortgaged to raise enough to
meet the interest and thus for
the time being save their farms
from foreclosure but we believe
we are warranted in claiming that
the crop of mortgages through
out the wheat section is as heavy
as eyer it was. These lying spe-
culators are assisted by their
political friends whom the Min
nesota farmers have foolishly
heretofore supported with their
votes. Will they continue to
support their oppressors and an
appreciating money standard,
where the money is so high that
their products are necessarily
low? We will hope not.

HEHONEST OP!NlONOF ONEOLD
REPUBLICAN,

WE want every republican to read
the following, which we clip from the
editorial columns of the Anoka In
ion. The Union is a lifelong repub-
lican paper, published by Granville
S. Pease for more than thirty years.
Mr.. Pease is a self made man of
wealth, who has never been a seeker
after office in his party. He has until
the past few years been a staunch sup
porter of the republican party. He is
smart enough to see and honest enough
to say that his party under its pres
ent ringleaders is corrupt and un-
worthy of support. He is man that
knows all the ms and outs of the state
machine, and what he says can be
given full credence. His paper is one
of the most prominent and influential
country papers in Minnesota. He
says:
The republican party of Minnesota
today is controlled by the most un-
scrupulous lot of politicians that ever
disgraced any party. They realize
their strength and power fully. There
limits Of the state from Lake Superior
to the Iowa line. They will stoop to
everything to carry their point. These
leeches and hangers on are encount-
cred everywhere, their bread and but
ter depends upon the success of the
republican party for they are not fit
ted to hold any position save politi-
cal one and that by the grace Of the
gang. Money is their god and money
is all that talks with them. A repub-
llcan legislature must be bought if a
bill is passed and many of the memb-
ers have to buy their way to the legis-
lature. A candidate for most any
ofhce must throw money to the right
and to the left if he wants the nomina-
tlon. The question is never asked
now, is he tit for the position?' but
How much money will he put in to
