The bowl was struck by fragment Of a mortar

In answering this letter publicly,
it may be stated that The Franklin

the applicants for loans under it's

the most popular proposition ever
submitted to New Workers by

the Society'S rules prohibit the
making of any but small loans, the
aggregate of applications recently
made indicate a demand for more
than 100000 a month. For this
reason the Board of Management
of the Society has decided upon
a further issue of its prepaid
coupon shares. These shares are
represented by certificates for S1o0

Pops up Against It.


A party that is built upon the
foundations upon which the fusion
lists stand is up a hard row Of
stumps. In 1896 the free ~silverites
was opposed by stern and incon-
trovertible facts. They were too
much for them. They suffered de-
feat. This year they started in to
oppose President MoKinley's war
policy as too timid and slow. 1t
has already made such brilliant and
rapid achievements that the people
are practically a unit in their sup.
port OF the administration. The re-
suit OF the poor pops running up
against another stone wall of re-
publican facts is going to be that
the pops will get hurt without doing
any damage to the stone wall.

that means low prices according to

the bill failed. it would have been
necessary TO pass a joint resolution
extending the terms OF the last
a appropriation bill to cover the
period until the new land law
should take effect. Under these
conditions it would have been un-
popular for the friends of the free
homestead amendment to insist up
on a vote which would delay the
passage of the bill, and possibly in
the end fail to accomplish what the
Northwestern senator's and repre-.
sentatives desired. This amend.
ment and that relating to leases on
mining lands on Indian reservations
were the only questions in contro'
versy between the two houses and
the conference report was rushed
through both houses this afternoon.
The only point gained by the
friends of free bomesteads was the
9 extension for two years of the time
for payments on lands taken by
settlers. This will be a great relief

The Brazen Commissioners Deal,
Chamberlain Register.

Chamberlain Register.
From the call for the republican
state convention, which is published
in this issue, it will be seen that the
republicans intend to nominate three
railroad commissioners. That is
what they should do. There are
good grounds for the belief that the
law passed by the fusion Legislature
in 1897 extending the terms of two
of the present commissioners, two
and four years respectively, is un-
constitutional, and that it was simply
a device invented by a set of hungry
politicians to steal six years of office.
1t was thought that the law would
remain unchallenged and thus afford
an easy way of retaining fusionists
in official positions for two and three
times the length of time for which
they were elected. 1t was a brazen
faced scheme but the chances are
that it won't work.

yers. This is a fact which is sus-
ceptible of proof. One of the
biggest guns in the popocratic party
is Senator Pettigrew, who has al.
ways maintained close connection
with one Of the biggest railroad
magnates in the northwest. This
magnate is said to have endorsed
the senator's paper once upon a
time TO the extent Of one hundred
thousand dollars or more. The
smaller fry who are managing the
party are railroad lawyers at Sioux
Falls. Isn't it a good deal like the
pot calling the kettle black for these
men to be shouting themselves
hoarse against the railroads? We
say here and now that it will pay
the people Of this state to keep
their eye on men who shout out
against the corporations publicly
while privately they are accepting
money from these same corporations.
1t is dangerous business to place
such men in positions where they
can do harmi il they choose. They
may not be demagogues, but they
talk a good deal like demagogues
used to talk when some of us were
