moment they discover that the party
has gone into the hands of these old
bourbons, they will drop it as they
would hot potato, nor will they be
whipped into line by the croakers.

the live democracy of to-day is VIM.

a populist without consulting DR.. Fay.

The Lakeside Press says Knute Mel

of Sir Knight Nelson, to be sure.

! Bird Island Union:
| We are surprised to notice articles
published in some OF our papers de-
nouncing the anti-expansionists as
traitors to their country because they
object to the presidents methods. If
it is treason for a senator or any 9TH
er citizen, to oppose the president, we
might as we'll have a king. That an
editor OF all other classes of men,
would circulate such an idea 8 a sur
prise as we'll as a grave mistake on
their part.
NO EXPANSION IN HIS.
While Senator Fitzgerald, of Wi
mona, may not express himself in ele.
giant terms, he utters forceful truths.
He discussed the Philippine question
and incidentally gave Davis rap in
the following language:
'You cannot force freedom down
the throats of the Filipinos," he said.

You can not civilize this people in a
minute by giving them Bible and a
bath. They must learn that in the
school of experience. 1 do not think
that we should go around with bated
breath, afraid to talk about this Ques-
tion because this state has political
god in the senate. I liked him better
when he stood as the foe of modern
feudalism; I liked him better when he
stood for the maintenance of the Mon.
roe doctrine, rather than for it's aban-
donment; liked him better when he
suatched the tail of the British lion
from the hands of Grover Cleveland
and gave it an additional twist, than
now, when his political idols are Lord
Salisbury and that arch fend of hui

flag to raise it over the Philippines, it
will lower it to the level of the red flag

1t is refreshing to run across an
honest man occasionally and we have
ffounds one in the person of Aug. Boldt,
OF Fosston, who of his own accord
discovered that he owed for the paper

gentleman and it would please us

Bro. Knappen must have time of

There is a movement on foot to Or
ganize ''Grain Growers Associa-
tion" in the interest OF farmers and to
offset the speculators who have been
able to manipulate prices to suit them
selves regardless of the legitimate de-
mand or supply for consumptive pur-
poses. Should this movement succeed
we may expect howl from the bulls
and bears in the wheat pit that will be
heard across the continent. What
right have the farmers to form a trust
"a wicked and gigantic trust, they
will call ito compel the poor to nav
more for their bread?- -Montevideo
Leader.
Are you sure that the movement to
organize a "Grain Growers Associa-
tion" is in the interest of the farmer?
Have you looked up the personnel of
the leaders of the movement? Do you
know that one of the leaders rides 90
a Jim Hill pass and practically makes
his home in Pullman sleeper. Oh,
we just imagine how Messrs. Eric o.
son, Hanley & Co. sympathize with
the poor grain powers, We imagine
we can see the poor leader toss back
and forth on the soft and downy pill
lows of the Pullman sleeper racking
his brain how to help the poor farmer.
The TRIBUNE is heartily in favor OF
any movement that can assist the
grain grower, but it will not lend it's
support to movement headed by men
whose only object we believe to be the
| lininp Of their own noclxote a. +ho .>,,
