THE PRESIDENTS BROTHER-IN-LAV

THE PRESIDENTS BROTHER-IN-LAW
The following brave words express the
sentiments of the editor better than he
can do it himself. That preacher has a
level head, and there is some good in
Nazareth after all:
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-"Were I on the
jury when Mrs Anna George shall be
tried for the murder of Mr.. George Saxton

Guittal.'
These were the words of the Rev Henry
Frank, the minister of the Metropolitan
Independent church. in Berkeley Lyceum
this morning in introducing his remarks
on the recent tragedy.
Il fully appreciate the delcacy and re-
sponsbility of such an utterance. l feel
with the people at large profound SYM
pathy with Mrs. Mckinney, on whose
household the dark shadow of this tragedy
has fallen. and with the president himself,
who must needs feel that the national
White House is shrouded in the gloom of
a social disgrace.
THAT a man of Mr.. SaXton's wealth and
social position should entice a weak and
beautiful woman from the comforts Of
peaceful fireside and the embrace Of a low
ing husband, and by all the destinations OF
tempting luxury should lure her to his
arms only to cast her off condemns him at
once to the lowest level of civilized human
beings and deprives him of the least hint
of manly sympathy
while it is not my purpose to defend
murder under any circumstances, yet 1
frankly confess that there are worse crimes
than murder in the catalogue of human
sins.

THE YIELD IS POOR.

stephen, Mimi, Oct. 21.-The weather has
turned cold again and threshing has again
oeeh stopped. Most of the shock threshing
Is finished in this immediate locality. but at
least one-fourth remains yet to be threshed
IN X ttson county. The grain that remains
to be threshed from the shock now is in
very pad condition and will not grade above
rejected. Some stack threshing remains vet
TO be done in this vicinity, but this amount
Is small The yield has been very poor
and my former estimate for Marshall coun-
~, ~ bushels per acre, is about correct
very little fall blowing has been done as
yet and from present appearances not one
half OF this will be done this fall. Hence
the wheat acreage will be small next year
Collections are very slow this year
And the price of the ten bushels per
acre is reduced still lower by the pro-
digous lying that is done about universal
prosperity and big crops. God help the
farmer!

IS THERE A CHANCE

1t is reported that in a number of the
rural districts, including several in Mime
apolis, owing to injudicious nominations by
Republicans, there will be loss of Repub-
lican members CT the legislature. Although
there is no reason to believe that this loss
will be sufficient to give the opposition a
majority on joint ballot, 1t behoOves Repub-
licans and friends of Senator Davis to put
forth special and unusual exertions in be-
half of the Republican candidates for the
gislature.-Minneapolis Tribune.
If there is a chance as suggested in the
above then it becomes the duty of every
POpulist to do his best to secure election
of Peoples Party men to the legislature.
Patch up any differences that may
exist and all pull together. Id.

LIND is RESPONSIBLE.

Says the Morris Sun: One reason why
Eddys vote will show q gain over that of
two years ago is, that many of those, Re-
publlcans principally. who voted with the
opposition i'll the last campaign did so SOLE
ly because Of the views entertained on the
financial question. Now that silver is SO
completely Stunned and ignored, a large
percentage of those who voted wi h he
fusion force through sympathy with the
free silver issue will no longer vote or affili-
ate with Them If the percentage of ga n
from this cause is as great in other sections
as In this. Eddy will be elected by a major
ity that will exceed any estima, es yet made.
Lind is responsible for this state OF
things. He released every free-silver
man from the necessity of supporting
him by declaring that the silver question
was not an issue in this campaign.
Horrible folly! Id.

VI. WESENBERG FORGETS.

In August we called upon the several
candidates upon our state Mid-rOad
ticket for dates from which we might
give them a brief biographical write-up
in The Representative, and most of the
candidates complied by sending the
items as requested.
Mr.. Wesenberg among the others, and
without any protest as to the use of his
name, sent us memoranda of his war
record. and asking that in our write-up
we state that his use of the crutch was
not occasioned by wounds received while
in the service. We are somewhat sur
prised that at this late stage of the pro-
ceedings he should claim through the
daily press that his candidacy was with
out his knowledge or consent We be-
leve such claim at this late date is enti-
lied to no consideration whatever and
that every Populst should vote the
ticket straight. and let the kickers kick.

SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

A correspondent Of the Faribault JEFF
the Populist candidate for state senator
and the leading nurseryman of the state.
The Representative indorses every word
of this eulogism.
Mr. o. F. Brand, who is to be our next
state senator, was born in Lewis county,
northern New York, Jan. II, 1874. In 1850
his parents moved to Fond du Lac county
Wisconsin. There he received a common
school education. In 1861 he enlisted for
three years in the list Wisconsin regulars.
and served his country to the extent of his
ability. He came to this county first in the
winter of 1896 and started in the nursery
business here in 1867.
During the granger excitement of 1872, Mr..
Brand was selected by them as their cham
pion in their struggle against what they re-
garded as unjust railroad determinations
then being levied upon the people of Rice
county. He was successful in finally seeins,
the relief asked for granted. In 1873 he was
one of the delegates from this state to a
convention on transportation at Keokuk,
Ia, where nine Mississippi valley states
were represented. The winter following
Mr.. Brand was selected as one of a COM
mittee of three TO Investigate the affairs of

ness among the farmers in every county OF
the state Finding the company in an I'M
safe condition they went to the Legislature
and had the company put on a safe basis
In 1873 he and the late Leonard b. Hodges
drafted and sent to congress bill to take
the place of the timber culture law. Their
BILL which congress accepted and passed
with one mischievous change, eliminated all
Of the mpracticable part Of the old law.
Mr. Braid says that had congress passed
the bill as they adopted it, the preSent law
would have produced ten fold greater re-
suits.
He WAS largely responsible fer our present
fire warden law for the preservation of our
forests from fires. He has worked and help
ed to work a number of valuable bills
through the legislature and Is perfectly at
home in that body.
On account OF our many institutions Rice
county needs an able senator. We must
ask for. and must get large appropriations
Mr.. Brand has spent a third of a century
in persuadng people to change their minds
and do what he wanted them to do. He has
been very successful and can get everything
we need in that direction from the legis-
lature.
He is patriotic. He made no objections
when his youngest son enlisted last April
to fight the Spanish. He interested himself
to have the 18th regiment removed from
Chickamauga and was also active in hav-
ing the regiment sent home.

A FRIEND ANSWERED..

Why does our worthy friend Ignatius
tongue and his pen denouncing
shadows and splitting up parties.
Would it not be better for
all refOrmers to join in opposition
to the party that fosters syndicates and
national robbers? BY uniting Democrats,
Populists, Silver Republicans middle Of
the road, and all other denominations to-
gether, there is no question but the rings
ed. But they flourish because the peo-
pie who want reform, allow themselves
to be led from the main question to side
issues having no significance-Chippe-
wa Falls Sentinel
The writer of this is our treasured
friend, and one of the best men in Wis
consin. He misconceives our work.
We are not splitting up parties, but
trying to prevent our own party, the
Peoples party, from being torn to pieces,
as has been the case in Iowa, Ohio, ETC.
Look at your own state. The Populists
offered to unite with the Democrats If
they would meet them on equal terms,
and give them one or two small places
on the state ticket, and they spurned
them.
If Brother Golf had been a Populist
would he have abandoned his own con-
victions and crawled at the feet of men
who treated him SO? We know his hot
Irish blood too well to doubt his answer.
They not only spurned the modest re-
quest of the Populists for recognition,
but they turned their backs on free sill
yer.
What is there in the past history of
the Democratic party that honest men
should abase themselves before it?

WHAT TO DO.

A friend writes us from the Red river
valley and propounds a puZzling ques-
ton. He says one of the nominees for
the legislature in his district is a pro-
nounced Populist, and fully indorses the
course of The Representative, but never
theless he is running on fusion ticket.
Our correspondent does not want to lose
his vote or vote for the Republican can
didate; neither does he like to help "fu-
sion" or elect Democrats, and he writes
us for advice. IL
They have Saying in New England
"There are deaconS and deacons," mean
ing that there are deacons that are an
honor to the church, and deacons who
are better fitt6drt to adorn a horse-trade
than a prayer-meeting. So it is with
Populists, whol have been named on fu-
sion tickets. g :.
There are SOME who are at heart true
Peoples party men, but have simply
yielded to the temporary insanity around
them; and there are others who are Pop
ulists only in name, and who, if elected,
will be hencefortk Democrats, with all
the zeal of ne# converts, and who will
do their best to destroy and trample
under foot the Peoples party.
We would advise all our friends to in
tervieW the candidates in question, and
see which of these elements they belong
to. If the former, get from them a pledge
IN WRITING, that they will not enter a
Democratic legislative caucus if elected,
but will put up thoroughbred, dyed-in-
the-wool Populist for United States SEN
ator, and vote for him to the bitter end.
If they will not do this, they had better
be permitted to tarry at home and let
their brains grow We have no interest
as Populists in building up the Demo-
cratic party.
Some of these legislative candidates
will resort to platitudes, and talk pref
ty," but if they do not sign such pledge
before you vote for them, they will never
do SO afterwards. If they refuse, they
mean to sell you out, and it is your duty
to bury them. A false Populist is more
to be feared than a consistent Repub-
lican. l. d.

A GREAT LOSS.

1t is with sorrow we chronicle the
death of the Peoples Party Paper, of
Atlanta, Ga. 1t had accumulated debt
to lady who was editing it, of about
$4,000, and she had filed a lien for the
claim and fOreclOsed on the paper.
1t has generally been spoken of, of
late, as tom Watson's paper" but we
understand that great man has had no
personal connection with it for some
time past.
With the very large vote that sustained
the Peoples party in Georgia, in the re-
cent election, it is impossible that an
other paper will not soon be established
to take it's place.
Our Peoples party movement is pro-
test of poor, oppressed people against
the exactions of accumulated wealth;
and it is great mistake to attempt to
rival plutocracy in the size or expensive
ness of our newspapers. That is the
path to bankruptcy. Our maxim is right:
"A little paper that lives is better than
big paper that dies"
Peoples party papers are taken for the
thoughts and facts which they contain,
and which are not to be found in the
great journals of the money power;
which are, in fact, suppressed by these
publications.
We have everything against us, and
those who believe with us should do all
they can to help us, especially by paying
up what they owe.
No man is fool enough to think he can
make money by publishing Populist
paper All he can hope to do is to fur
nish medium of exchange of thoughts,
and cooperation between the scattered
reformers; and to do this for the love of
God and justice, with no hope of per-
sonal reward.
No holier cause has existed on earth
since the great saints carried Christian
ity into pagan and barbarous lands.
Posterity will do Justice to lis if the
present age does not. I'D.

PROF. CATION.

Reports from the country districts tes-
tify to the strength of the congressional
canvass Being made by Cation. His audi
ences are large and the undisputed ability
of the fusion nominee public speaker
rarely fails to excite warm applause The
fusion forces are pleased with the sue
cess which he is meeting with. They point
out that by his public utterances and the
gratifying attendance which greets him he
is able to set himself right before the peo-
pie, the claim being that Cation has been
vilified by an element of the public press and
greatly misrepresented.
We have not been at all satisfied with
the course of Prof. Cation; but human
nature is powerful weak" and as he was
regularly nominated for congress by the
Peoples party of the Fifth district. the
best thing the Populists can do is, prob
ably, to vote for him. He says himself
that this is the last time fusion" will
