Grand Army News.

Commander G. s. Ives, OF the Minne-
sofa department of the G.. a. r. has de-
cided upon military plan Of march for
the Minnesota delegation of veterans at
the Chicago encampment in August. In
formation received from over the state
indicates that the delegations furnished
by each post will be larger than to any
other grand encampment except the one
held in this state, and that they, with
the 500 or more to 20 from the Twin
Cities, will make a total Of between
1000 and $500. Local drill masters
for the posts intending to send .delega-
tions have been at work for some time,
and it is expected that the march of the
entire Minnesota army will be worthy of
favorable comment from military view
point. Besides the general parade some
individual posts will make feature drills.

upon by the G. A. R. at Its last encamp-
ment, and which passed the senate Jan.
8, is now being discussed by the house

New Farmers Union.

by the promoters to become a strono
organization among the farmers and an

Jacob Grimes and John F. McGee, all

MIR. Redmond is the temporary president
and general organizer, and AIR. Grimes
will act as secretary and treasurer until

poses OF the organization are to unite
the interests of the working class, and to
contlol the prices of farm products. A
similar organization is being formed in
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

| A few months ago it. was decided IN
New York and other cities to form farm.
ers' unions on the same plan as labo: un-

caused the present movement to start.
Organizers are to be placed in the field

states, and President Redmond says one

and send delegates to meeting to be
held at Chicago not later than October

Changing Ones Party.

Youths Companion: 1t is sometimes
cast as reproach against public man
that lie has abandoned his party and
joined himself to the organization which
once lie opposed most earnestly. The
leproach may be just, as when man
shifts to the opposite party in conse-
quence of personal grievance, or for
any other petty reason.
III most cases. because most public
men are guided by principle and convic-
ton, a change of party by prominent
politicians and by individual voters
is alike honorable and pralseworthy.
New issues are constantly coming before
the people. When any question becomes
important, it is proper for every man
who disagrees with his own party to
join himself with the other party if it
represents his opinions, and if he believes
it will carry those opinions into effect
-Four years ago it was reasonable and
properfor every Republican who desired
the free coinage OF silver to Ereak away
from his political associations, and to
vote for Mr.. Bryan. It is. always the
duty of men who think. the suppression
of the sale of liquor the greatest of all
political issues to leave the party with
which they may be acting and join the
Prohibitionists.
The movement from one party to am
other is usually greatest IN the year of a
presid dential election, because then the
aims and purposes of parties are author
itatively set forth in the platforms
adopted by the national conventions.
This year, for example, the issue of free
silver, which dominated all the rest IN
1896, bids fair to be quite subordinate
to others, If, indeed, it. is to be all issue
at all, The relations of the country to
its new island possessions have suddenly
become the most prominent of all ques-
tlons; and next in Importance is the
matter of the suppression or control of
the so called trusts. .-. S. .-...
[, It is natural and excuseable that any
man who thinks that his party takes a
wrong position on these issues should
change his political associations. The
man who takes his conscience rather
than habit for his guide in public affairs
IS to be praised, not blamed. -

Silence is Golden.

The republican state convention at
Minneapolis is as silent as an Egyptian
mummy on the Porto Rlcan issue, and
there was not even murmer over the
wholesale looting that has taken place
in the republican government of Cuba
and other "new possessions" EVERY
thing on the slate went through without
break and sigh of relief seemingly
went up to heaven that all the unpleasant
ness between the senators and congress-.
men, and the blunders of the admins.
tration were kept out of sight. - y
The convention seemed glad to rush
business through and adjourn. Out.
wardly things ran smooth and not cog
slipped, but beneath the surface eyerv-
thing was not as peaceful and calm as
a summer morn. A kind of "thank
heaven its over" air was manifest when
the convention adjourned. It elected
the two senator's as delegates at large.
endorsed ex-senator Washburn for vice
president, but not with any hearty en-
thusiasm, praised the party ina general
way and let her go at that.
There is not much of the old fire left
IN Minnesota republican party. It does
not even have the courage ofsits honest
convictions, and hence stumbled through
9 platform that absolutely means nofh-
ing. There is no reason to doubt the
assumption that Minnesota is today a
doubtful state. s.
