Best in the world. The New York

The soloist of yesterdays concert
was Leopold Godowslly, a pianist Of
great merit. In manner arsl feeling he
is very simple, sincere and modest; in
the setting forth of his artistic abil-
tiles he seems bound by the highest and
best methods. Godowsky is a most re-
liable and agreeable player, one who
gains more and more fully every mo-
ment the confidence and sympathy of
his audience. His rendering of the Saint
Saens Concerto in G minor-On a piano.

was delightful-made a charming in

Warming to Earnlers.

Minneapolis is still infested with hO-
tel runners In spite Of recent city or
1inances enacted against them and the
opposition of respectable physicians
vino discountenance the irregular "doc-
tors" who hire them. The Journal tells
o. one Joe Anderson from Batavia, ILL.,,
who with $50 put up at hotel of
which Andrew Sween Is the runner.
Andrew soon convinced him that he
needed the services of the professor,
and led him into DR.. Bessesen's office
in Temple Court. There the doctor
through his Swede student, John Groen-
felGt, soon secured $50 OF the farmers
money, half Of which went to the run
ner. who had indicated to his "gay and
boon" companion Greenfield the
amount OF the pile" The farmer had
to submit to a painful operation for an
ina ginary disease which Health Officer
DR. Avery afterwards declared wholly
unnecessary. Detective Stavlo, on
learning of the imposition and the further
fact that Greenfield had no license or
right to treat such cases, not being a
physician, called at DR.. Bessesens Office
and secured that part Of the money back
for the farmer that the hotel runner had
not made away with

Let Us Have Harmony.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
am a very busy man, more especially
this season Of the year, am in the midst
of seeding and have been 50 very busy
preparing for springs work since my re-
turn from the national council held in
Washington, D. c., that have not time
to express my views on the seemingly
uncalled for, unfortunate m1sunderstand-
ing between some of the officers Of our
grand organization, I write more In sor-
row than otherwise, when l see our
worthy president Of the Farmers Al
lance of Minnesota resigning his po-
sition as such. Little did believe when
I volunteered, and did as you all know.
pay my own expenses to the national
council held in Washington, D. c., last
February, that on my return I would find
any misunderstanding among the officers.
Brothers, it seems to me that we ought
to be able to manage our own matters
inside Of our organization amongst our
selves, If there is any reason to believe
that an officer has exceeded his official
duty let his conduct be investigated, If he
Is found guilty by all means expell him,
but as every man Is supposed to be in
nocent until he is found guilty, let us not
be too hasty to condem a brother until
he is found guilty.
This misunderstanding Is all the more
vi ~ Pont "a Mr.
Long has proved himself to be the right
man in the right place, and such an ac-
QUESTION to our organization. and in my
Judgment it Is sincerely to be hoped that
our distinguished president will recon-
slider his action on this matter.
Brothers, busy as am, for am writ
ing this In the center Of my wheat field,
1 have a suggestion to make for your
consideration: That the board meet on
June 4 at St. Paul, and then and there
investigate all matters pertaining to the
controversy and settle it among your
selves. For heaven sake do not allow
the agents OF the corporation (the daily
press) to destroy us by sowing the seeds
of dissention amongst us.
We have in the agriculturalists of
America the grandest material to create
a conservative party on this planet a
party that Is not alone willing but anx-
ious to concede to all mankind that
which they claim for themselves, name
ly: equal justice to all. special privileges
to none. In hopes that the suggestions
I have made may be instrumental in
suspending hostilities and pouring oil on
the troubled waters

OF the fusionists was heard to remark.
Ever since that date those lying Great
ures have systematically set about to
disgrace and Willy us. and by disgracing
and running our influence or discrediting
the movement by pointing the finger of
scorn at us as one Of the leaders of such
a movement. They have threatened and
have done all they can to have us In
dicted by the federal grand Jury, and
have us already 20 years in states prison
But l am still at large and will continue
to do the work I set out to do last July
when we were selected at the Nashville
conference to represent the national or
ganization Of the Peoples Party in Min
nesota. and to try and preserve the party
from destruction, which was conceded by
all would be it's fate unless earnest, ac-
tive and heroic measures were adopted
to save it from it's enemies without, and
it's traitors (the fusionists) within. We
do not claim to have all the wisdom OF
this world, but what we have considered
our duty we have done consistently and
fearlessly and will continue to do the
same to the end whether we are called

Ing second place as party in number

Now, I would ask Farm, Stock and
Home, If that was all one man or all the
money question. Farm, Stock and Home
must have been In the woods at that
time and only came out in time for the
st. Louis convention, and to boiler Bry-
an. free silver. half-loaf- better than-no-
bread. No, Farm, Stock and Home, that
great political party with MILLIONS Of
voters did not take substantially the po-
sition Of the Peoples party on the money
question. The Democratic platform Of
1896 has over 20 planks and seven of
them devoted to the finance question.
And the sum and substance OF the whole
matter (the seven money planks)
amounts to about this: We demand
the free and unlimited coinage Of both
silver and gold at the present legal ratio
of 16 to l. without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation. We de-
mand that all paper which Is made a
legal tender for public and private debts
or which is receivable for dues to the
United States shall be issued by the gov
eminent Of the United States, and shall
be redeemable in coin. That Is the
Democratic platform. word for word.
Does that read like the Omaha platform?
At st. Louis, even in that corrupt con-
vention and platform committee, the plat
platform, the finance plank reads thus:
1--WE demand a national money safe and
sound, issued by the general government
only, without the Intervention Of banks
OF issue, to be a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private; also just,
equitable and efficient means Of distribu-
ton direct to the people, and through
the lawful disbursements of the govern
ment" Farm, Stock and Home, read the
two platforms and see II they are sub
stantially the same, be posted and let the
people know the truth Of the matter
that it is not the Peoples party that Is
substantially the same on the money
question, but the Bryan jumping-jac
union Of forces-co -operatiOn-fus if you
please, those are the ones that are tho
same as that great compact with MIL
LIONS OF votes. F., S. and H. don't lie
behind the bush and make faces at the
Peoples party, but come out and be hon
est and help build that grand reform par
ty on JUSTICE and TRUTH.

can be no possible doubt Tho Peoples
Party makes no retrograde movements.
1t has been thoroughly tested and its
motto Is always forward. The clearest
minds, the coolest heads and the wisest
craftsmanship are ever in demand in a
republic but never more so than at the
present time when old party platforms
are rapidly changing, either toward our
demands or more bitterly opposed to US.
The Peoples Party has ever been found
firmly at its post, without a single
thought of sacrificing one of it's sacred
principals, but with broadness Of mind
accepting conditions not of its own
choosing. 1t has manfully, heroically
and will successfully push the fight to
an ultimate success. We desire to call
your attention to the indisputable fact
that were it not for the stubborn resist
ance of the Populists and silver senators
and congressman now at Washington
our country would soon be loaded with
hundreds Of millions of gold bonds, our
greenback currency, the money Of the
people, the money of Lincoln, the money
that saved our nation when gold had as
usual vanished from sight, would at once
be destroyed and gold bearing non-tax-
able bonds be substituted In their place.
Were it not for the Populists and silver
people in the halls of congress, the ex-
iCfi
national bank circulation would quickly
be reduced to at least One-half that
amount and their privileges be 50 en-
larged as to make them supreme masters
OF every industry in this country. The
present administration has utterly failed
to bring forth it's much heralded pros.
perity; it has opened neither minis,
mines nor mills; it has shown in it's ten
der regard for Spanish bondholders and
its Indifferent attitude towards the starry
ing thousands of Cuban men, women and
craven obedience to the behest OF the
money power demand and enforce repara-
ton for the destruction of the Maine
that the lives Of our own people and our
national honor is as nothing when CON-
pared with bonds. The administration
has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. The Republican party
is soon to be on trial before that great
tribunal, the people with whom we now
rest our cause

Government Ownership.

A statement was made the other day
that the operating expenses Of the North
ern Pacific had been held down to II
per cent of the income, which is won
derful showing for the present manage
ment and extraordinarily creditable. 1t
is that This road which has had spe-
cial favors from the government can just
squeeze along by devoting half its earn
ings to interest on capital and stealage
Interest on stealage is probably the
largest item. For that wages must be
kept down to the schedule of the panic
year and rates must be maintained at
the level of the bonanza period.
We can stop all that if we choose. 1t
simply needs that enough of us should
make up our minds to have 1t stop and
then unite in demand for 1t. Reduce
the railroads to government ownership,
cut OF the interest on past robberies.
and it would be possible to lower charges
and raise wages at the same time.

A Pneumatic Shoe.

The latest in foot wear is a pneu-
matte sole for shoes, recently patent
ed in this country.
The sole is of ordinary thickness and
is made of rubber, having a reinforcing
leather strip embedded therein, making
it punctureless. A hollow air chamber
is provided which nearly covers the bot
tom of the foot, to which by means of a
connecting valve, an air pump may be
attached and the sole inflated. To pro-
vide an even surface on the sole, rein
forcing walls are cast in the air cham
Der. It is claimed the shoe saves the
body from Earring effects when walking
and for indoor use is practically
noiseless.

what was done and what learned Sena-

by three congressman to aid us with his
advice. but his advice was entirely I'M

the committee call meeting Of our state

appointed for the meeting Of the Demo-

there might be an unlimited opportunity
for dickering and trading; but the COM
mittee by a vote Of 16 to named the
18th Of May instead. This puts the
meeting of our convention nine days In

One of his friends on the committee,
while Senator Butler was present, pro.
posed that the committee indorse the ad-

that it was Withdrawn.

How to Secure Reform"
A few years ago Populists almost to
a man contended that the money question
was the only one worthy Of considera-
ton by the American people; that if
it was settled right every other wrong
could easily be righted. But when, in
1896, a great political party with mill
lions of votes and a compact organiza-
ton took substantially the position of
the Peoples party on the money ques-
ton. then, in the estimation Of many
members OF that party, that question
suddenly assumed a position OF incense
uuential Importance, and money Is not
the only question were words constantly
upon their lips. The above is both I'M
true and misleading.
The Peoples party organized at Gin
cinnati, Ohio, May 10. 1891. And with
1900 delegates drafted a platform OF
money, land taxation, government owner
ship Of communication and transporta-
ton. with other demands and resolutions.
July 4, 1892. the Peoples party conven-
ton convened at Omaha, Neb.. with
about !, 400 delegates and with platform
committee Of about 36 members from
nearly every state and territory In the
Union, and drafted platform on finance,
not less than $50 per capita, income tax,

NOTICE..

The Representative has for three
months been an interesting, instruc-
tive and welcome weekly visitor in
several thousand homes where 1T was
unknown before. Many Republicans
and Democrats have como to realize
that their own papers do not always
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, and they feel
that they arc better fitted for the
higher duties Of the best American
cttisenshiD by keeping informed up-
ON all the vital issues of the day.
This cannot be done by reading tho
papers of q great Newspaper trust.
The Representative is generally req
Ognf.ed as without q peer rs an IN

culatiOn reaches every state In tho
