cooperation and the only chance that
will be acceptable to all concerned. No
reasonable man can object to the prop
osition. Mark this prediction, that Mr..
Longs suggestion or the adoption of it
is the only chance of securing a VIC
tory in November. If the Democrats
fail to take advantage of Mr.. Longs
suggestions, then let us hear no more
about honorable cooperation There is
plenty of time to make all arrangements,
let the different committees get together
and arrange for call at an early date.
This Is the only solution of vexed ques-

The Proper Course.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
In your paper of recent date appears
letter from l.. c. Long, which suggests
the modification of all reform forces in
one political party in the state of Min
nesota- Mr.. Long also suggests that the
campaign be conducted with reference
to state issues only, all of which meets
with my hearty appreciation I have not
had time to talk with many reformers
as yet. but the few to whom did talk
heartily indorse the suggestion. The
fact is now plainly in evidence that VIC
tory cannot be reached in any other
way. We have too many factions, too
many would-be leaders. There is a Ger
tain line Of dicipline that must be OBJ
served If we would even hope for sue
cess next November. That is that we
must recognize our oldest reformers and
time-tried men as the moving spirits Of

effect of their acts upon the people IL
such that any honest man should feel
grieved that he was ever hoodwinked
to train with such corrupt organi-
cations at all. My greatest regret is
that l was blind enough to vote the old
party tickets in the last twenty years.
Let all earnest men from this on work
honestly for the success of the principles
OF the Peoples party, not for the honor
or glory of any one man or any set Of
men.
The personality of man nominated to
an Office should not be so great as to
divert attention from the principles ad-
vocated by the party nominating him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the

When this tube Is infiamed you have a.
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be DESTROYED

Envy and JEALOUSY.

Dear Editor: Your reply and criticism
to my letter in last weeks issue was
kind in tone, and largely true in fact.
There is no dispute on facts between two
well Informed, good and true Populists
There are other troubles existing. The
selfish, bigoted and intolerant man hurts
himself and everything he comes.
In contact with. The envy and
jealousy at work in our ranks
today Is the great hindrance to
the growth and success of Populism.
We see this green-eyed monster spirite
displayed from some Of the lowest to
some of the highest in our ranks. What
an awful pity. Our cause should be
baptized with the gentle showers OF
charity, kindness and fraternity Our
party needs culture, goodness and great
ness. These three attributes do not
feast upon social and political filth.
There is no room for political scavengers
and buzzards within our ranks. Our
leaders must not trot about hunting for
scabs and skeletons in each others clos
cts. The party cannot prosper and grow
in dirt and filth.
In the issue of The Representative of
Feb. 18th, 1894, in an editorial headed.
"A Cyclone Among Democrats" Mr..
Donnelly among other things said:
There Is gale blowing at the rate of
200 miles an hour among our Democratic
brethren. The Democrats Of Minnesota
have endured and endured and endured.
They endured Cleveland's Wall street
silver policy; they endured the awful
times which followed it, when they
looked for prosperity; they endured Ha-
wall and the attempts to establish roy
atty ON the ruins of republic. They be-
Heve In three-fourths of our principles
though they would be grossly insult
ed to be told so. The party is in a state
OF everlasting ferment, and something
is bound to come out Of 1t. We should
not be surprised to see the radical ele-
ment take possession of the organization.
or break loose and organize, as in the
South, a Simon-pure Jeffersonian De-
mocracy, without any Wall street, or
railroad, or Queen Lii in It,"
Now if the Democrats of four Years
ago, in Minnesota, believe in three
fourths of our principles, they must be,
by this time, about ready to swallow the
whole business platform. pre-
amble and all. 1t looks as though the
radical element" under the name of
Organism or "the New Democracy" has
broken loose, and taken possession Of
the organization and come out for "Si-
mon-pure Jeffersonian Democracy. with
out any Wall street, or railroad in it,"
just as our very good old friend, the
sage, author, and orator, predicted they
would do. If they have come out for
Simon-pure Jeffersonian Democracy
without any Wall street or railroad in
It," then they are our brothers. and
why should we wage war against them i?
Treat them kindly and In four more
years we can stuff the balance of our
principles down them.
An excellent working rule is: do
unto others as We would they should do
unto you" This rule would be lust as
noble and beautiful in politics as it is
IN religion. 1t is plain good sense. Its
fruit often ripens slowly but comes sure.
and always sound, sweet and delicious.

 Consolidated Railroad Employees Don-
 ned Them Yesterday.
 The latest Consolidated railroad or der to it's employees went into effect yesterday, and the men are natty looking army They appear in the pre- scribed uniform to be worn by all em- ployes of the passenger service of the road, from the station masters to the baggage men. The higher and lower positions are distinguished by gold and silver buttons without any regard to politics. Conductors, station masters and ticket agents wear the gold but tons and those in lower positions silver buttons.
 The material is of blue cloth, twenty four ounces to the yard, furnished by the Burlington mills Another distin- guishing feature between the gold but ton men and the silver button wearers is that the former wear single-breasted cutaway frock coats, while the latter wear double breasted sacks, which they are to take great care to keep tightly buttoned.
 Then there come a regulation white shirt and collar, black tie (either bow or small four-in- -hand) and black shoes. On no account must russet shoes be worn, and woe betide the employe who has not a brilliant shine upon his shoes. A peaked regulation cap, with the name of the wearer's position in front, com pletes the uniform. The stipulations concerning this cap are that it must not be tipped to one side or on the back of the head, but must be worn straight at all times.
 There are numerous other details concerning the making of these uni forms. The trousers must be cut cer- tain width and style; there must be limited number of buttons on the coat and vest. and just so many pockets in the different garments. Employees are cautioned to keep their uniforms in neat order, with bright glaze upon the buttons. Station agents are instructed in seeing that they do so.
