STOPPING THE INCREASE,

In 1900 comes the twelfth census, which
Is expected to bring out some very in
teresting figures respecting the resources
of this great and growing country. Already
the clerical staff has been organized for
the work, in skeleton shape, and every hing
is even now in trim for beginning the
count. 1t is believed says the Washing
ton Post. that the population will not
be found to exceed 75.000,00O. Those who
are guessing 8O.000,OO0. and upward fail to
take into consideration the large decrease
in the birth rate, which has run down in
a surprising way during the last ten years,
owing apparently, to growing prejudice in
favor of setting an artificial limit upon the
size of the family. This idea. says the
commissioner of labor. has more effect
upon the growth of the population than
war. pestilence and all other causes COM
bined.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Plutocracy has increased the diff
f1culty of making living and thereby
decreased marriages, and now their
hireling papers admit that there will be
falling off of five or ten millions in
population, and are seeking to
charge it to infanticide.
Prosperity! Oh, yes; there are loads
Of 1t, and the babies are afraid to come

BAD LAW AND WORSE JUSTICE.

The judges of the United States circuit
court of appeals filed two opinions yester-
day, and in both Judge Caldwell dissents
from the opinions of Judges SanbOrn and
Thayer
In the case of Flora Myers as administra-
trix of the estate of Edward Myers, de-
ceased, plaintiff in error against the Chi
cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail
way, which came up from the circuit court
CT the district Of Minnesota, the judgment
of the lower court is affirmed with costs.
Edward Myers, while employed as brake
man by the defendant, was killed instantly
On Feb. II. 1896, while riding on top of
freight train. Near Hudson Wis, he struck
bis head against a low bridge with fatal re-
suits. In the lower court the judge direct
ed verdict for the defendant
In dissenting from the opinion of the ma
jority, Judge Caldwell says:
1T is elementary that it is the absolute
duty of the employer to furnish the employee
a reasonably safe place to work. having re-
gard to the kind of work and the place and
conditions under which it must necessarily
be performed Some kinds of work are
necessarily attended with dangers to the
cmploye which the employer cannot remove
or abate by the exercise of reasonable care
and diligence and when this is the case the
employe takes upon himself all the risks
incident to the employment. But the en-
ploye does not take upon himself extraor-
binary and unnecessary risks dangers
which do not inhere in the business, but
are the result of the want of reasonable
care and diligence on the part of the en-
ployer. Where, by the exercise of ordinary
care and diligence, the employer can make
safe or render less dangerous the place
where the employee is required to work. it
is his duty to do so, and failing in this duty
he is guilty of a culpable act of continued
negligence. Some extension of the ap-
prOaches would have permitted the bridges
to have been higher without increasing the
grade of the streets There never existed
any necessity for placing the overhead tim
bers at the deadly height. 1t was an act
of gross negligence to do so.'-Minneapo-
lis Times.
Judge Caldwell is clearly right
To tell brakesmen to stand on the
tops of cars to do the breaking and then
leave bridge low enough to knocx
them into kingdom come, is simply out
rageous, and shows an Indifference to
human rights that ought to be severely
punished. 1. D.

A NEW HORNED SNAKE.

J. S. Boren. of Cadiz, KY, exhibited in
that town recently a most remarkable horn
ed snake. which he plowed up in a field
on his place on April /. The snake has
near the end of his tail a long, keen horn,
which comes to point as sharp as a needle.
This is the first serpent of this variety
ever seen in Kentucky.
The snake when angered takes the end
of it's tail in it's mouth and rolls like a
hoop toward the object of its wrath but
just before reaching it the serpent stands
almost upon it's head and thrusts this prong
into whatever it would strike down. Mr..
Boren declares that the horn of the snake
was filled with poison and that blow from
it is deadly. 1t is said that even a tree
stung by this variety of reptile. will, if
the sap is up, die in few hours.-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
These snakes are only seen on fishing
excursions, through the bottom of bot
ties in which whisky has lately been.

SMALL CROPS.

Reports are that three-fourths of the
winter wheat has been winter-killed;
and that there will not be half crop
of corn.
And we shipped the other day a mill
ion dollars in gold to England, to the
great CONSERVATION of the spectators.
If agricultural shipments were to
largely fall off this fall, this bogus-Re-

disappear like a mist of the morning.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 3O.-(Times Spe-
ciaD-Despite the reports to the contrary,
not over 60 per cent of the corn has been
planted in this section. 1t is estimated
that one-quarter of this will have to be
replanted, that perhaps not one-half of
last years area has been put in. There will
be large proportion of land on low ground
that is usually planted in corn that cannot
be planted this year.

Of course the Democratic party will de-
vote itself exclusively to the Republican

the Republican party or the Democratic

GOVERNMENT LOANS.

Pine and Kanabec counties have decided
to refund their Indebtedness and borrow
from the state school fund the money with
which to carry out the transaction. The
state board of investment today authorized
q loan Of $50 900 to Pine county, and an
other of Sl2,500 20 Kanabec The indie
pendent school district of Blue Earth City,
in Farihault county, will be loaned $4,000
and the city of Ely, ST Louis county, 1000.
Other loans authorized today were: School
dictrict Az Blue Earth county, $500; dis
trict Il, Kanabec county, $3.50; dictrict 10,
Ramsey county, $500.
There was a time when our state au-
thOrities considered it a horrible idea to
think of lOaning state money to the peo-
pie of the state; but the state treasurer
would start with valise full of green
backs and go South, East and West, to
lend them out to states in those sec
tons; and then the people of Minnesota
borrowed money from Wall street, and
thus they demonstrated that the fools
are not all dead yet
Every dollar of Minnesota's state
funds should be loaned to the people of
the state. Such lendings keep down the
rate of interest, and hold the usurers in
check
There is no reason, indeed, why Min
nesota should not follow the example of
England, which loans public funds to it's
own people to enable them to obtain
homes.
But we are the most unprogressive
people in the world.
If we permit usurers to crowd the in
dustriOus out of their homes, govern
ment should furnish them with an op-
portunity to obtain new homes.

CAN'T BE BUNcoED NEXT TIME.

That Kansas City gathering indicates that
the Populists will be rather difficult to
handle next year. They will not be salts
fed with dummy vice presidential nOmi
Observation-Disclosures Post.
The treatment accorded that great au-
thor and orator, Hon. Thomas e. Wat
son, in 1896 by the Democratic party,
was one of the blacklist transactions
ever known in the politics of this coun-
try.
The Populists had magnanimously in
do-sed Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic can
didate for preside nt,, with general un-
derstanding that, thu Democrats would
in return withdraw Sewall and nominate
Mr.. Watson for=victpresident. But as
soon as Bryan Knew that the Populists
were going to indorse him he telegraph
ed the chairman of our national con-
ventiOn in substance that he would not
accept our nomination unless we threw
Watson overheard and nominated Sew
all for vice-president.
A more cheeky piece of trickery was
never heard of.
If Sewall had been great man,
patriot, statesman, prominent re-
former, or philanthropist, there might
have been some excuse for such an in
sulting course. But he was literal no
body-a railroad president, a national
banker a money lender; representing
everything abhorrent to the Peoples
Party, and dwelling in a region where
there was not the slightest possibility
of our even getting an electoral vote.
But Bryan paid the penalty. A change
of Is, 900 votes in the Northwest, and on
the Pacific coast would have elected him,
and these he would have received if he
had treated Watson and the Peoples
Party fairly.

IS THIS TRUE:

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 3.-The Ex-
press tomorrow will say:
gigantic agricultural combination, the
arrangements for which have been making
for the past three years, has come to light
in Sullivan and Vigor counties this state
The headquarters of the combination are
in Philadelphia, and the work is carried on
through the local oranges of the Farmers
Protective association. The leading farm
ers in each township are being formed in
to committees to cooperate with the other
farmers throughout the oranges so that
wheat and grains may be held Indefinitely
in common elevators
In this manner the farmers of the country
will eventually control the wheat market
and will be enabled to dictate to the ele-
vators just what the price Of the cereals
shall be. The organization, so it is said,
has been introduced through the Farmers
Protective association, into every state in
the Union, and the company will be ready
to perfect it's organization and incorporate
within six months.
Is this true, or is it fake?
Who are the men leading it? Is
there such society in Minnesota?

berry, Give us the facts.

structed delegates are expected from Ala

and the District of Columbia. An interview
given out by Mr.. Bankhead, of Alabama,
who is a candidate for the minority leader
ship in the house, and who is friend Of ex-
Leader Baily, has given some concern. Bank
head is quoted as saying that he would
like to see the Democrats all together, even
II the silver issue has to be put in the
background to accomplish the result, and
even If different candidate than Bryan has
to be put up. Other interviews with Mey

WHY NOT:

The Cincinnati Enquirer comes pretty near
being Populist paper when it says:
'If the government can print money for
a bank that is good money, why can't it
print money for it's own use that would be
good money? If the government prints
money for it's own use and there is any
profit derived from it's use the whole peo-
pie share in the profit. If it prints money
for corporations the incorporators only
enjoy the benefits. If printed for a bank
the Endorsement of the government is neces-
sary to make it good
The national bankers do not add one
iota to the security of the money they issue.
It's value depends absolutely upon the
government Endorsement, and the bankers
alone are the benefciaries. They not only
draw regularly the interest on their bonds
deposited in the treasury in lieu of the
bank currency they carry home but they
lend the same bank currency to the peo-
pie. whose Endorsement makes it good, and
collect interest on that also. Thus they
receive double interest, one on their bonds
and another on the currency. If the gov
eminent should make legal tender treasury
notes and pay them out as salaries or for
any other services performed the inter-
est paid the bankers for the use of their
national currency would be saved to the
people. But the old parties won't agree to
this and the people must suffer the extortion
until they determine to place a party in
mower that will remedy this great wrong
When they do this one of the giant trusts
that is sucking the life blood of the
NATION will have been Observation-Disclosures
Messenger. & E
If the brains of the American people
were not hypnotized and torpidized by
a newspaper trust" such plain state
ment as the above would spread like
wild-fire all over the nation, and rouse
the whole people to revolution.
But as rule they know it ALL" and

that a barrel of wheat flour in 1872 was
worth $12.75, while in 1897 it cost SIS. 80.
