PLUTOCRACY's JUDGMENT.

PLUTOCRACY'S JUDGMENT.
1t was curious to observe how the
daily Republican papers devoted over
a page each to the reports Of the Sioux
Falls convention, and dismissed the Gin
cinnati convention with half-column
or so. That was particularly observ-
able in the Chicago papers, the Minne-
apolis papers were more just and lib
eral
And yet these editors knew that the
Sioux Falls gathering was a mere annex
to the Democratic party with which
they were contending for the presidency
Why were they not afraid OF 1t? Why
did they not ignore it?
Because they knew that the Midroad
Populists are in deadly earnest; and will
yet revolutionize the nation; while
the Sioux Falls chaps are simply striv-
ing for few. petty Offices and can be
placated at any time. That accounts
for the milk in the cocoanut."

shameful house of ill-repute In that part
OF the country.

bAdmcIul mouse OF lIl-f0puCe IN t00C part
OF the country.
They could break into the houses Of
the people and outrage the sancity Of
the virtuous homes under pretense Of
making search for arms and evidence.
They could issue and enforce per-
NIT proclamation requiring all laboring
people to sign away their manhood and
their liberty for the privilege of seek
ing employment.
They could suspend the freedom Of
speech the right Of peaceable public as
semblage, the Independent press, and
confiscate the property Of the people.
All these things and scores of other
Infamous acts could they do in the name
OF law and order; but, strange to say,
not one Of them could see scintilla Of
crime and lawlessness in the acts OF the
Bunker Hill company.
This sucker of the Standard Oil
octopus could do as it pleased. It could
pay less wages than any other mine in
the district; 1t could discharge it's faith
full employees for daring to join a labor
organization: It could refuse to arbitrate
it's differences with the men in it's en-
plOy; 1t could refuse to meet a commit
tee of the union men, and 1t maintained
the same arrogant attitude that King
George maintained toward the people OF
the American colonies, but neither
Stenuenberg nor Gen. Merriam could see
any lawlessness in its conduct. They
could see only the crimes of the poor.
And they made race for the glory of
martial law, and Merriam got his pro-
clamation before the country little in
advance of the governor.
Merriam got no military renown out
Of the Spanish-American war. He did
not get a chance to murder the helpless
natives Of Luzon, nor an opportunity to
participate in our treaty stipulations
with the sultan of the Sulu islands. But
military glory he must have, and the
Occur d'Alene riot afforded the only
opening, while Steunenberg thought he
saw chance in it to secure the United
States senatorship by counting the favor
of the trusts, and Sinclair imagined he
could get into the gubernatorial chair
or seat in congress through the no.
toriety he could get out Of it. Therefore
Steunenberg swore the district had been
a he'll on earth Tor the past ten years,
but neglected to state how much hell
he had added to it. Sinclair relied on
his hypocrisy, and Merriam swore that
he found tnsurrection like a rattlesnake
that has struck his victim and crawled
into its hole waiting an opportunity to
strike again. But Merriam, instead of
restoring order, simply added another
rattlesnake to the den. His unamerican
conduct made the public forget that
there was labor riot, and he oontribut-
ed more to the release OF criminals than
to their conviction, and now his soldiers
In the Occur d'Alenes under martial law
close their eyes while Steunenbergs
deputies beat out the brains of inno-
cent people for no offense whatever.
And this is what we are asked to cherish
and adore in the name OF law and order.

If the prospectors and claim owners of

the Salt Lake mining expert" the dis
trict would be much better off. In ninety
nine cases out of q hundred, the lex
perts'' who visit here from Zion are
at the best very poor promoters of auy
kind Of business. Some Of Them might
be all right to catch suckers on real
estate deal in Salt Lake. They arrive on
the stage, rush around like wild animals,
and blow and puff like Zaglioba and
finally after exhausting the little energy
they have, they attempt negotiating and
if they can't get hold without any
futher outlay, they endeavor to get the
confidence of some poor prospector to
find out where there is At least enough
ground, on which to build discovery

REVERTED LANDS

Their Abandonment

The Act of the Legislature of jan
uary Is, 1899, authorized the Register
of the State Land Office to accept de-
ferred interest payments on contracts,
provided the payment was made with
in one year from the date OF approval
of the Act. Many persons availed
themselves of the provisions of the Act
by paying overdue interest payments,
but there are many more who did not.
The records Of the Land Office show
that on the 9th day Of January, 1900,
275, O93 80 acres were forfeited to the
State by failure to comply with the re-
quirements of the Act. On these lands
the State received on first and partial
payments, SO, 113. q; on interest, $40,
PIG. q, making a total of $40, 337. IS.
The above does not include lands for
feited prior to the passage of the Act
of 1899, nor lands forfeited since the
passage of the Act by reason of persons
applying for all or a portion of the
lands embraced in contracts on which
interest was overdue
