same period, S598, ,E0. The net earnings
given are before the deduction OF taxes.
For some unexplained reason the onciais
of the street railway have repeatedly re-
fused the Times this information when
asked for it. In each case the reporter was
told that the information must come from
New York The Times therefore secures
the financial statement OF local corpora
ton from city thousands OF miles away
Minneapolis Times.
It will interest many of our readers to
make a few figures from the foregoing
data. There are in the Twin Cities,
reckoning five persons to each family,
about 5000 families. 1t will be noticed
that the above figures show the gross
and net earnings for only the first six
months of the year. Allowing the same
earnings for the last six months OF the
year, and dividing the gross earnings
for the entire year by $4,000, the num-
ber of families in the two cities, and we
find that each family during the year
pays this street car company something
over $50.
Dividing the net earnings for the year
by $4,000 in the same manner, and we
find that each family pays this corpora
tion a net profit above all expense of
operating the road, of over ST per year.
Talk about the princely incomes from
Minneapolis office buildings, and mod
ern tenement and apartment blocks.
Such incomes are not in the same class
with the income of the Rapid Transit
company.
/ 1t would be q mammoth building that
would have 500 tenants paying rent,
while here are $4,000 families paying
over to this corporation In round figures
50 per month, one-half of which is net
profit.
One dollar and half per month from
each family in these two cities is an in
come of-the first magnitude. This sum
is more than it costs the average family
for water supply.
The city owns it's own water plant,
and families get water at cost. The city
water system is making no millionaires
When we pay our water tax none of the
money goes to maintain lobby to cor
rupt our city council, none of it goes to
pay corporation attorney to defeat
justice, corrupt juries and the court, and
none of it goes to pay interest or profits
on watered stock.
POpulists demand municipal owner
ship Of street railways, and that the
people be furnished such transportation
at cost. Populists protest against few
street car magnates collecting $3.50 per
month from each family for rent or use
of the public streets, which already be-
long to the public.
The first and most urgent demand of
Populists after direct legislation is pub
lie ownership Of public utilities.

The Mother Girl.


She is not bud of fashion, not but
terfy of style,
And there are no bogus trimmings in
the makeup Of her smile;
Needs no artificial fixings to enhance
her girlish charms,
And a god would go in raptures DER
the plumpness of her arms
AS she washes up the dishes and the
minutes speed along,
Dancing gaily as they pass her. to the
music of her song.
In her eyes a soft expression Of pure
maternal love.
That must surely be the envy of those
angels up above.
She's the joy Of every home.
Underneath yon arching dome,
Till she gives her hearts affection to
another
Lucky he who wins the true
Loving, loyal maiden, who
Tries to lift the daily burden from her
mother.
When the weekly toll is over, and she
dons her Sunday gown.
There is not a pampered darling on the
earth can turn her down
In the winning game of beauty; not a
fashionable pearl,
Though ablaze with costly jewels, eau
outshine the mother girl
Sweet simplicity is noted in ner unas-
suming grace,
And she needs no color-touching to put
bloom into her face.
For the blood of health is coursing
through her veins. her rosy blush
Isn't made for the occasion by the dec
orative brush.
She's the fairest gem

OUR FORUr1
Renville County.

AenVlAc OOuntys
Editor Representative:
wish to acknowledge the blessing OF
fusion, and hope those who are respon-
sible for it will receive due credit for it.
In this county we have elected state
senators and representatives twice be-
fore this fusion deal was forced on us
and our campaigns were aggressive and
educational from school house to school
house. Since fusion the candidates have
made "still hunt" campaigns, with the
result of the G. o. P. getting both rep
resentatives and senator, with every in
dication that the Republicans will have
a walk-over in this county next Novem-
ber, and elect every man on their
ticket.
look for same result on state and dis
trict tickets. -r...
There never has been such demoral-
lied condition among reform forces,
both state and national, as at this time.
Chairman Butler, after being so anx-
ious to be yoked up with the Demo
cratic calf" is now crying: Whoa,
durn our fool soul, somebody head us
or" He declares he will not support
Stevenson. Can he expect any honest
man to believe this is anything more
than a blind excuse to have national
committee put candidate on to gull
suckers? Can any one believe, after
viewing Buffers actions these past two
years as chairman of national commit
tee, that he would hesitate to support
the devil on ticket with Bryan If he
thought by doing so he could gull the
thoughtless voters? It is amusing to
think he pretends he cannot support
Stevenson. I think he need have no
fears; his influence will not be les
sened one iota If he comes out boldly
and advocates putting up Satan himself
as running mate for Bryan; he can
count on just as many votes as with any
one of his selection.
1t is also amusing to read at the head
of the editorial column of a paper whose
editor has claimed to be reformer
until his head of hair is as white as
snow, For president, W. J. Bryan; vice.
president. c. A. Towne," and editorially
claiming to believe in maintaining the
Peoples party intact
With such illustrations, we are forced
to exclaim: "The ways of Providence
are past finding out" and His works
are mystery" While there is no doubt
an amusing side to the acts of such men,
yet there is portent of the gravest
danger. This country is becoming en-
tangled in the maddening rush of the
foreign nations towards destruction, be-
ing driven by heartless Commercial
ism" necessity. plainly see it is repe-
tition of history, with the difference of
changes in civilization. The same mad
dening lust for expanding selfish greed
is the motive power that drives them
on under the encouragement of the
church and so-called commercial
honor"

Press: write to congratulate you on
the vigor of your paper, it is what is
needed. The shams need to be written
up.
What a sham this Democracy is!
Bryan's talk is not that of his party.
Hence he is sham. Since l have had
any knowledge Of party politics, the
Democratic party has occupied the posi-
tion of kicker. It kicked against the
internal improvements by the United
States, and by this kick fastened upon
us the granting of monopoly in trans
pOrtation of the products of the soil
and shops and thus forced upon us the
onorous imperialism, in the shape Of
R. Rs. and the use of other public pow
ers by individuals and corporations that
will require at least a political revolu-
ton to change.
1t talks the doctrines Of Jefferson and
Franklin and follows the doctrines Of
Carlisle.
1t kicked because the free men of the
nation insisted that representation in
congress should be based upon the
enumeration of free men, not slaves;
Cat this time three out of five slaves
were counted as the basis for members
of congress). 1t kicked at this because
If changed it would break up the found
alton for an aristocratic government,
and they further kicked themselves into
a war on this account
When the war was on the government
found the Democratic free coinage of
gold and silver at 16 to had placed the
legal tender power of the nation in the
hands of the plutocratic imperialists of
the nation.
It kicked because congress issued
money on its own account, as this would
take the control of the business out of
the hands of usurers and plutocrats.
When it was seen by the first issue of
full legal tender paper money $3.50, ,OOO,-
o0O was better than gold or silver, it
kicked so hard that it forced the ex-
ception on greenbacks, SO that they
were good enough to pay soldiers who
put their lives on the altar of patriot
ism, good enough for the common herd
but not good enough for the bond hold

the nation, and save people the only
chance they ever had to earn their liv-
Ing by the speat, Of their brow, inde-

party to pass law in 1866 that would

now called, raised the hue and cry

money. it made such loud proclaim of
its love for the dear people, that by the
revolt of the Republicans against this
party, Democracy got the congress and
saved the usurer's monopoly by ex-
tending the national bank note system,
and then put up a sham kick against
the law.
1t stood by and assisted in repeating
the law for the free coinage of silver,
then raised sham kick and kicked so

flrming our unshaken belief IN the
cardinal tenets of the PEOPLES
party, as set forth in the Omaha

anew to continued advocacy of those

communication, transportation and
production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph

3. The land. including all nat

of the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes
and alien ownership Of land should
, be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and
