else involved in this Lind boom, much
more important to the boomers, than
real and honest reform. Let us think a
minute. What are the possible and
probable objects aimed at by the fusion
lists and the program of two years ago!
Is it the reorganization of the Demo
cratic party in the state?
The election of 1894 proved that the
Democratic party was in its death
throes in this state, as it was all over
the West and South. Bryan was called
in to save it as the second party in the
nation. The Populists of this state gen
erously consented to give Bryan their
support and practically allow our ma
tional party organization to be disrupted.
We felt that if there was to be cooper
alton at all we, as the small party ma
tionally, would have to do that
But when it came to cooperation on
state ticket in this state the case was
reversed. The Democratic party being
the weaker here and split at that into
q ''ilNSA AoStIOu anu q 6Olu ldCllOll, IuC
Peoples party was in turn entitled to
nominate a straight Peoples party tick
ct, and expect the Democrats to Loyalty
support it.
This was my understanding of the pro-
gram of cooperation between Demo-
Gratis and Populists up to the develop
ments at the state convention. There for
the first time learned that the Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota were not willing to
tote fair, but had their plans laid, with
the aid Of certain Populists (?) to hog
it all This as loyal Populist, l.,
for one, objected to. and I have not
changed my mind on that point
The election returns of 1896 show that
the Populists in this state, notwith-
standing the outrage committed against
us in the fusion deal, stood Loyalty by
every Democratic nominee and on the
other hand the Democrats in many
places in the state did not stand by the
Populists candidates. AS an instance l
cite Polk county in this congressional
district. Hon. E. E. Lommen, Populist
candidate for congress, and McKinnon,
Democrat, was candidate for state treas
urer They are both residents of Crooks
ton; both good men. McKinnon secured
the full Demo-Pop vote. But Lommen
ran some 600 votes behind, that is, hum
dreds of Democrats voted for Eddy in
stead of Lommen.
Now that is exactly what the so-called
honorable co-operation-fusion means,
to throw our votes for Democrats while
our men can whistle for themselves.
Can it be possible that the Populists
Of this state will be humbugged a
second time by these fusion schemes
1 refuse to believe it until 1 see it. But
If SO, let the party die in eternal obliv-
ion. The sooner the better.

Grave Charges Against the Governor
State Auditor, City and County
Attorneys.
A CHAPTER of Mislleeds.

n chapter OF M1sUee0S.
NORTHFIELD, Mimi, March 90
(SpeciaD-Law makers and law break
ers; and the ones who make the laws are
the ones who break them. The Repub-
lican government of this state, county
and city can have a chance here to look
at their record-they can see themselves
as others see them, even if the record is
black.
About year ago l found by looking
at the assessors books that the building
and loan association of this city only
paid $2523 taxes.
l looked up further records and founA
that it's officials made a sworn state
ment (That sworr statement l now have)
that the association had in 1895, $66, 900
in real estate mortgages, and $51 900 Of
free shares. l found that the free shares
were those belonging to the members
holding these $4,000 worth of mort
cages.
Then it was that 1 went to Assessor
Bjoraker, who had been elected by a
city council whose majority was free
shareholders in the association, and
asked him why he did not assess these
mortgages.
Because they are exempt" he an
swered.
Who said so?" 1 asked
why, the city attorney, ]. r. Drake"
said Bjoraker.
Upon investigation l found that Mr.
Drake was heavy free shareholder and
that he had ordered Bjoraker not to as
sess the free shares or the mortgages.
Then you do not intend to assess
this concern" asked.
81 do not" he answered.
Then I wrote to Attorney General
Clapp, and he wrote me that building
and loan mortgages were not exempt
from taxation, and that If our ASSESSOR
city attorney and county attorney did
not do their duty in regard to this mat
ter, everyone of them could and ought
to be removed"
Then I went to Hon. A. L. Keyes and
told him what I could prove, and he
said: go ahead and I'll help you; be-
cause If these people have that amount
of mortgages and only pay $25.23 tax,
something is wrong"
l went ahead and the next time ap-
peared before the said county attorney
he had some dozen decisions picked out.

was a law passed IN 1895 which upon
the complaint Of any citizen to the gov
ernor of the state that any concern or
party was lodging it's taxes it should
be the duty of said governor to appoint
commission from the county where
the lodging is claimed to exist, and the
records Of such people examined and
their property listed.
Then l went before M. H. Kufey, at
torney at law, Faribault, (the county
attorney refusing to do it for me), and
got him to draw UP complaint against
the said loan association.
This was sent to Gov. Clough, return
able to me in fifteen days. One month
passed, two and six, and no investfga-
ton, no word from Clough. Then wrote
him again, but he refused to answer
Then I boarded the train, went to ST.,
Paul and to State Auditor Dunn, and
told him about the whole deal. That
official said: What could you expect
from Clough and that gang of scoun-
drels. Now, you go home, make out a
plain statement of facts, with three or
four taxpayers signed to it; send it to
me and l will bring the matter before
the state board of equalization, which
body has the right by law passed in '95
to look up such matters. 1 will see that
you get some good help in your good
work."
l followed instructions to the letter,
and up to the present time-six months
time-not one word has been heard from
him.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
Wherein They Differ,


And here is an item l found in Labor

which may well serve as a pointer to
free and liberty-loving' Americans of
how rights of labor are treated and re-
spected in monarchical and "liberty-kill-
ing Britain:
Military Interference in Labor Dis
putes-Much as one dislikes lockouts
and strikes, the military authorizes
must not be permitted to NEEDLE in

Welsh officer undoubtedly did during the
recent threatened general railway strike
when he actually issued an appeal to
army reserve men in the Wrexham dis
trict to offer themselves as pickets for
the so-called protection of the company's
property-in fact to form a kind of Pin
kerton gang in this country. Mr. S.
Woods, after two attempts has succeed
ed in getting the satisfactory assurance
that the commander-in-chief does not
favor such Inference, and that the Of
ficer has been informed of this. This
means in plain English that this busy
body in uniform has been snubbed. And
quite right, tOo.-Trade Unionists.
Compare this with the disgraceful at
fairs at Pullman. Homestead. and the
late Lattimer butchery of peceful work
ingmen by military interference and
sheriffs posse, and the acquittal of the

To-day's advance in the prices Of
stocks was the result of a movement
among professional operators to enew
the upward course OF prices. These OPP
orators argued that the market had
undergone q fair degree Of reaction
during yesterday and the latter part OF
last week. The reaction had invited a
fair short interest and had wiped out
the weak holders on the long side OF
speculation. This represented an i'm
provement on the technical conditions
OF tho market. The days trading start
ed off with the advantage OF n i'm
provenent in London, where prices Of
American securities were advanced a
sharp fraction all around. There was
also some buying for London at the
opening here, but London afterwards
turned seller when prices had risen.
There are a number of stocks which
enjoy the special support of friends and
