FALSE REPORTS.
Lakeville, Mimi, May %, 1900.

Lakeville, Minn.5 May %, 1900.
Editor Representative.
Dear Sir: In long article, entitled,
"Midroad Populists," in Nye Nordman-
den, it is claimed that telegram from
Washington stated that Wharton Bark
er was in the capital for the purpose of
visiting the president and that he had
an interview with Mckinley, and that
wher he came out of the White House
he expressed to reporter that his
(Barker's) candidacy would make Bry-
ans election absolutely impossible, AZ
he stated that Bryan received over six
million votes in 1896, OF which two mil
lion were Populists. OF these he
(Barker) will get, he said, one and one
half million. which will be a loss to
Bryan that can not be replaced from
any other source, 80 Bryan's victory is
impossible
Then the editor of said fusion paper
makes this remark: Think over these
remarks, friends, who yet claim to
stand solidly on the Omaha platform;
and ask yourselves honestly If the
Omaha platform was built for the Re-
publicans to walk back to office on"
Now, l do not believe said dispatch
but rather believe it is lie out of whole
cloth.
Yet, should. for the sake OF our par
ty, like to see Mr.. Barker deny 1t point
blank. Also because l want to write
reply to that article, which contains
many serious charges, among which is
that Barker and Donnelly are running
In the interest of Mckinley, and they
are accused and called Judases.
Please, will either Messrs, Twitchell
or Donnelly forward this to Mr.. Barker.
il you cannot prove beyond successful
contradiction that said dispatch is a
lie.
Said dispatch appeared in Nye Nor
manden of May %, Tuesday, that stated
that said telegram was received (not by
N. NJ on Thursday, which must then
have been on 18th of May.
Yours for Omaha and Cincinnati

the Senate. and 1t Is not going to be

It's hand. Senators. II left to them

against the bill in committee.
On the other hand. the Hepburn bill
viii not command the warm support of
some senators who are strong advo-
Gates of an isthmian canal. for the rea-
son that it does not provide clearly
and unequivocally for American con-
troll. 1t goes too far in that direction
to please Mr.. Mckinley and the Angll-
cized Mr.. Hay. but its provisions are
not sufficiently mandatory to make dis
regard OF them impossible by q Secre-
t'ary Of War who would be SO disposed.
1t Is a compromise measure, and Is,
therefore, not precisely what anybody
wants.
Nevertheless, It would be as we'll to
put senator's and the Administration on
record. 1t is openly charged that the
Panama syndicate is lobbying against
the bill, and that the transcontinental
railways have promised much in the
way of campaign funds IL the bill is
defeated. Mr.. Hannas opposition
lends color to the report. The Senate
should be made to vote on this meas
ure. 1t will probably be defeated, but
the fight will bring those who are in
terested in its defeat into the open, and
should make clear their motives. This
will accomplish much that it is alto
gether desirable to have accomplished.
Let the country know exactly where
Mr.. Mckinley stands upon this ques-
ton. Let it know whether jobbery can
defeat canal legislation yet again. 1t
will be an admirable days work. The

THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM
FOR 1900.

The Philadelphia Enquirer. from
what Is given as an authoritative
source. outlines the platform which the
upon which the Republican party will
ask Mr.. McKinley's reelection. 1t Is
asserted that the State platforms are
being studied as basis for formulating
the National declaration. and that the
Ohio pronunciamento will find a large
place in this declaration.
AS outlined by the Inquirer cores
pondent. the keynote of the platform
will be Prosperity at home and ex-
pansion aboad." The platform of 1896
will be re-affirmed with an explicit
gold standard plank substituted for in
ternational bImetallism. The admins
tration OF affairs in Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Philippines will be pointed to
with the usual pride and the power Of
Congress to govern territory outside Of
the Constitution Will be specifically as
serted. The "open door" treaty will be
and the Nicaragua Canal endorsed. AS
to trusts there will be some good,
some bad" declaration. with plenty OF
denunciation of the latter. The Ship
subsidy bill will be given the party
sanction and the repeal OF the more
obnoxious war taxes will be promised.
Such, in brief, is the platform fore
casted. and 1t reads like the real thing,
ignoring admirably with what the Re-
publican party has been doing OF late.
Whether the platform in It's endorse
ment OF the insular governments will
specifically praise the Porto Rican tariff
is said to be matter OF doubt and OF
grave apprehension. The Administra-
ton induced Senator Foraker to cham
pion that measure in the Senate. and
he is anxious to have the National
party recognize 1t. On the other hand
1t Is extremely doubtful that the Phil
adelphia aggregation will have the
courage to give the measure more than
a very general approval.
If the platform shall be anything like
that here outlined It is clear that the
Republicans purpose to make OF It
whooping campaign from first to last.
Whether an obliging Democracy will
permit that sort Of thing to go for
ward. without forcing such an amount
of pausing to explain as will materially
lessen the sweeping power Of the hur-
rahs. is extremely doubtful. The
country is not in the frame OF mind to
take everything for granted, and II 1t
once goes below the surface of Repub-
lican claims and promises that organi-
zatIon Is doomed to discredit and de-
feat.

THE FATE OF PAUL KRUGER.
The Savannah Morning News says:

The Savannah Morning News says:
"At the time of the breaking out of
the war there was a strong sentiment
in London In favor OF hanging Dom
Paul as soon as ever hands could be
laid upon him. He was looked upon as
an arch rebel against the government
of Great Britain. the suzerain Of the
South African Republic, and IL was de-
clared that such rebels deserve moth
ing short of death. Now, however.
public opinion has been softened, and
the hard-headed old Boer is conceded
to be n patriotic and gallant man. Still,
the British think he Is misguied and
deserves punishment OF some sort. But
what shall be done with him?"
That England-even the England Of
Joe Chamberlain and Cecil Rhodes
would go TO the length of banishing
President Kruger to ST. Helena or Of
assuming to punish him as a rebel
against English authority. is too revolt
ing to all men who have followed the
recent course of events to be credited
as possible. And yet. as compared
with the deliberate crushing OF two
nations, the fate OF one aged man.
however untoward. could add little to
the moral infamy that this South Az
rican war has brought upon England
For purposes of publicity Kruger has
always been regarded by the English
government as the cause of the war
He was the head of the "oigarchy"
vaal. He was behind the cherished
scheme of a united South Africa under
burgher auspices; it was he, according
to Mr.. Chamberlain, who made the
Transvaal "hot-bed OF sedition." So.
should he fall into English hands. It
is certain that he will not be permitted
to remain in South Africa To do this
would be to belle the numerous charges
that the English government has
brought against him.
There is. for Americans, another
question quite as interesting as What
shall be done with Kruger?" It Is
What shall be done with Aguinaldo?"
Each of these birds are at present in
the bush, and the chances that the one
or the other will be captured would
not seem to be very unequal. If Aguin-
aldo has Hongkong for purposes of
refuge. Kruger has Lourenco
Marques. II he finds Pretoria uncom-
fortably warm. How England and the
United States VIII treat these men who
have committed the heinous offence of
defending their respective countries
against invasion will form an interest
ing commentary upon the boosted civ
ilization of the present day-a civiliza-
ton in whose name England is shoot

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

There is one question arising out Of
the soft-nosed she'll discussion which
will not down, despite the assertion
that Senator Tllman discovered n

had been made to pierce Krupp armor
at Indian Head. 1t is said that similar
shells were in use In the American navy
during the Spanish American war The
question which now demands an an
swer is this: Since 1t was generally
admitted that the invention of an
armor- piercing she'll ought to cause a
reduction In the price of armor, and
since ii Is now declared that such shells
have been in use for several years, for
what reason is the price of .penetrabIe
armor maintained beyond a reasonable
limit?'

The latest utterance of Joe Chamber

Some OF them have gone into open on

Senate he could not give his approval
TO some of MI Hays magnificent tri-

When the ablest and most experi-
