The uSfoD Thief Game.

The following reply OF the Watchman
TO the Rcnville Star Farmer IS very apt
" put and states the case in the light in
which it must be seen by all independ--
ent observers:
"The republican party took the init
alive III the matter OF grain and binding
Irvine investigation by a resolution H.
troduced by Mr.. Jacobson at the first
opportunity after the organization OF the
house, Tuesday, asking for an investiga-
ton OF these matters at once. Since
there has been so much said on these
matters during the late campaign We
hope everything along this line will be
probed to the bottom that the people
will be fully satisfied. They have right
to know the ms and outs of this whole
business. We are pleased to see the re-
publicans take up the matter so prompt
ly.-Renville Star Farmer.
"The republican party did not take
the initiative in the matter of grain and
binding Irvine investigation. The init
alive was taken months ago when popu-
list and democratic newspapers and
speakers began showing up the rotten
ness Herewith connected; when John
Lind hurled hot shot into republican
camps last fall; when the people rose
up5at the polls and smote the republican
party, hip and thigh on account of its
criminal negligence of the welfare Of
the farmers. Then was the time the in
itiative was taken. For years the repub'
lican party had been squatting on foul
nest, sheltering the added eggs Of cor
ruption.
ssDriven from the nest it now begins
to cackle. For cackling apparatus il
puts forth small bore politician named
Jacobson. True to the eellike instincts
of free-silver turncoat he thought he
saw an opportunity to score point
against Governor Lind.

The Joke was on the Republicans.

The Joke was ON the kepuDHCdHS.
I. C. Hodgson tells a. pretty good sto
ny that ought to have been printed Ions
ago, but for some reason or other 1t wa
lost sight Of, and the Enterprise is thu
first to present it to the reading public
1t is as follows:
When Pierce Butler, representing
attorney of Ramsey county was scam.
paigning'' fol Bryan and the Chicago
platform generally, he made considerable
use of C. K. Davis speech on "Modern
Feudalism'' delivered several years ago
at Ann Harbor. Mr.. Butler had copy
of the speech in his possession, and on
one occasion he fell in with q party OF
Republicans, and of course they talked
politics. The Republican gentlemen
insisted that Bryan was visionary, ina
ginatlve, impractical, and decidedly lack
ing in the good common sense and con-
servative qualities that should be pos
sessed by president of the UnitedStates.
.OstenaibIy to convince them that they
were laboring under false impression,
Mr.. Butler pulled speech from his
pocket, representing Bryan to be Its
author, and read great chunks of "Mod-
ern Feudalism" to them-that "The spirit
of feudalsm walks the earth and haunts
the institutions of today IN the great
money and railroad corporations, with
their coutral of all our finances and of
the national highways, their occupation
of great domains; their power to tax;
their cynical contempt to law; their
sorcery to debase most gifted men to the
capacity of splendid slaves; their polu-
ton of the ermine of the judge and the
robe o. the senator; their aggregation IN
one man of wealth so enormous as to
make a Croesus seem pauper, their
picked, paid and skilled retainers, who
are summoned by the messengers OF cleo
tricity and appear upon the wings OF
steam.'
He read, representing them to be
Brvan's words, that "These corporations
today have controlling hand is all the

and every city, great or small, exists at

ending by advocating government Seizure

When he had finished, his Leal ers were
thoroughly convinced of Bryan's lunacy,
and instead of his being sent to the
white house he ought Immediately to be
shut up in an insane asylum. At this
uoint. Mr., Butler handed the document
to his republican companions and they
read 'Speech by G. K. Davis. '-Herman

MILLIONS FOR DEWEY ENTERTAIN
MfcNTS

If Admiral Dewey ever had any doubt
that The American people appreciate the
services he has rendered the nation that
doubt must have disappeared by this time.
The people are willing TO spend millions
of dollars in entertaining him, and show
ing him how much they honor and admire
him.
New York and Washington have given
him ample evidence of how the people
feel towards him. II is estimated that as
much as $4,000 900 was spent in one way
and another in the demonstration in New
York We have not seen the figures for
Washington. While they are not as large
of course as those of New York yet the
sum spent in the demonstration there
must have been very considerable. But
New York and Washington are only two
of the many cities of this mighty country,
not one of which but would like to have
the hero of Manila as a guest Several
have already extended invitations 10 him,
and others would do so at once if there
were any probability Of their being ac-
cepted.
No other man, in either ancient OF mod
ern times. had such a triumphal reception
on his return from successful war on
sea or land as Admiral Dewey has The
people feel that he is deserving, that he
is entitled to all they can do to show him
honor. and they are but yielding to their
feelings in making such demonstrations
as were those in New York and Washing
ton.
Several of the leading politicians Of the
country have expressed the opinion that
he could be elected President on either the
Democratic or The Republican ticket, and
there is no good reason for doubling that
they are right. The people regard Admiral
Dewey as having the qualities that make
a good President. That Is why the men
ton of his name in connection with the
presidency is so well received. But he
does not want to get into politics and the
states for 1900 seem to be made up 1t is
hardly proba bic therefore that the Ad-'
miral viii be presidential candidate next
year.

Legislation may be expected next win
ter giving the pension agents what they
want, namely chance to get their hands
further into the treasury These agents
have made the Grand Army Veterans be
lieve that the veterans are not getting
as much money as they ought to have,
Notwithstanding they are getting about
$140,OOOOO0 a year, thirty-four years after
the close Of the war of secession.
Before the recent meeting of the Grand
Army OF the Republic in Philadelphia
the impression among the veterans was
that Commissioner of Pensions Evans was
in the way of their getting more money,
although they were told that it was the
law that was in the way Now they are
saying that the President is in the way,
and a committee of them has just had a
conference with Senator Hanna, at Cleve-
land for the purpose of having him in
form the President of their present tenn
per in respect 10 pensions. This means
that the President is to be told that if
the pension laws are not construed more
literally he cannot depend upon the Grand
Army Veterans to assist him in getting
another term.
The Commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic is quoted in the dispatches
as saying that he told Senator Hanna
that if enough money was not raised by
taxation to pay the pensions bonds should
be issued. Not more than a year or two
ago there was a. movement in favor of
making the pension roll a roll of honor.
1t was generally believed that millions of
dollars annually were being paid
out to fraudulent pensioners. There
is just as much reason for that
belief now as there was then. The
movement died out, and now the pension
attorneys have led the Union Veterans to
believe that not only are there no frau
dulent pensioners, but chat the nation has
not paid them half what it owes them.
Therefore the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is on the war path demanding that a
vast sum in bonds shall be issued and
distributed among its members, and it
would not be surprising IL Congress should
Weld TO it's demand.

LET COTTON FUTURES ALONE.

Specializing in cotton futures has taken
hundreds of millions Of dollars out of the
South within the las twenty years. Men
who have been financially wrecked by
buying cotton futures are scattered all
over every one OF the cotton states. There
are few. perhaps. who have made money
specializing In cotton. but the number, it
is safe 10 say Is small.
We are confident that II the money
that has been lost by Southern men in
cotton speculation had been invested in
the development OF the South's resources
the states which are In the cotton belt
would now be the richest part Of the
Union
Il is an impossibilty for men in the
South, with their small means. to con
tend against the millions which are con-
trolled by the spectators of New York
The capital he'd there is 50 immense that
the market can be changed to such an ex-
tent as to swallow up all OF the margins
and profits Of the thousands of small
holders scattered throughout the cotton
belt
No doubt most of the orders which have
been received to buy cotton during the last
month were sent from the Southern states.
The belief that the market was going to
have a big rise induced thousands of men
some having a few hundred dollars and
others a few thousand to buy cotton flu
lures. The most of the cotton they have
purchased is held on very small margins.
A downward movement of quarter of a
cent a pound would sweep away their en-
tire investments. And there is capital
enough within easy reach of the big specu-
lators In New York to send the market
down far enough to squeeze out of the
market all of the small holders of cot
ton
Speculation In cotton futures has been
and is still one of the greatest drawbacks
with which the South has to contend. 1t
takes from the South the money that
should be used IN building mills and open
ing mines and farms. Southern men spec
uiate IN cotton because It is the great
crop Of their section, and they think they
know something about It. They are dsz-
zled by the idea of making fortunes in a
few weeks or few months. Now and
then one of them sells out his holdings
In time to make several thousand dollars.
His success leads dozens of others to spec
ulate, and generally. with disastrous re-
suits 1t would be fortunate for the
South if Southern men were to let specu-
lation in cotton futures clone

Did You ever hear of Dewey's rabbit
hunt over in virginia. asked war de-
partment offfcia. to-day. says the WASH
ington correspondence o. the Chicago Tri-
Dune. Well. il was one Of the first things
I thought Of after l heard of his victory
al Manila. Severa. winters ago Admiral
Dewey, Capt Frank Hume A. 3. Harlow,
several other gentlemen and myself con-
Guided TO take rabbit hunt over in Nir-
einid. We had plenty OF guns and am
munitiOn, without any rules as to what
kind of shooting should be done. There
was seven inches Of snow on the ground
and we found an abundance of rabbits.
We had a dozen or more when Harlow
shot one in its bed. Dewey walked up
and said:
Wen. that does settle it. Any man
who would snOot ia 1bit sitting in its
bed would rob his mother-in-laY. Why,
Harlow, you would be drummed out o.
Vermont if you did such thing up
there.
The fellows laughed. and after a little
while We continued the hunt Everything
went swimmngly until about two hours
later Hume pulled down rabbit without
giving ii a chance TO run for its life.
Dewey called him down by saying Gen
uemen, 1 believe in giving everybody and
everything a shOw-a fighting chance A
man who can't kin a rabbit On the jump
has no business with a gun Il is tax
ing an unfair advantage of the little fell
low to shoot him in his bed Let's have
no more of this kind Of sport. Give EN-
a chance, boys; give EN- a chance.
The boys then began 10 realize that
Dewey really meant what he had said,
and though the hunt was continued all
day no more rabbits were killed in their
Icds
