Minneapolis, Mimi, jan II, 1900.
Editor Representative %
Dear Sir: We wish to give you a
short review of the hide, fur and wool
market for the benefit of your patrons:
Hides have declined from last Novem-
Der prices three-fourths to one cent per
pound; this is because winter hides are
not so good for leather making purposes
as summer and fall, but they are now
higher than in any previous years, at
this time; good, green, salt-cured COW
hides are worth now 9A to SIC; green
or frozen 1c lesa.A
Furs: The market continues good
Large mink, NOEL, 1925 to $3.50; the
higher values being for Northern Min
nesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota:
skunks are worth 9Oc to 81 for large
narrow striped, which the majority are
in the Northwest: sheep pelts are worth
81 each and down. according to the
length of wool; wool is worth &c to SC
more in shearing time
The outlook for the wool grower GER
tainly has not been SO bright for many
years; it behooves him to take good
care of his flocks The Northwestern
Hide and Fur Co. send out so much val
liable information for the farmer, hunt
err, trapper and wool grower, every
reader should send and get their valu-
able pictorial printed matter, etc. r.
Yours truly,
NORTHWESTERN HIDE & FUR co

WHO SHALL WE VOTE FOR.

This is an important question. and
the peculiar: thing about it is that each
man who asks the question must
answer It for himself.
1t is intended this coming election to
give every POpulist voter a chance to
help fix up the slate.
The professional slate-makers will
this time take rest and give the rank
and file chance.
1t is not strange that some of the rank
and file should have sort of far-away.
where-are-we-at feeling, and as an
antidOte or remedy a few remarks NAV
give confidence and steady the nerves.
You have seen our blank referendum
or nominating ballot in the last issue of
this paper.
First on this ballot you are asked tn
name your choice for president and
president.
III every POpulist voter in Minnesota
should vote for men in his own comfy
or even in his own state without regard
to national prominence of such men
in the final canvass of such ballots
hundreds of men would receive a few
ballots each from neighbors and would
be wholly unknown to voters in the
other states.
To remove this difficulty good sense
would have dictated that for these two
national Offices each voter should name
some man known to be a man of ma
tional prominence.
Such man would be a strong candi-
date and give our whole ticket strength.

THERE MAY BE METHOD IN MAD

On our last page appears an account
taken from the Tribune of a man who
went cunning for Judge Lochren.
If some man in the lower walks of
life had been shot and his brains scat
tered all over the walls of his room
ten lines would have chronicled the
event.
WEIGH went after big game and big
head lines grace the front page of every
daily.
The community will be shocked at the
recital and the display caption "The Act
of Mailman" will leave with the read
ers the intended impression that some
insane tramp, without cause, has point
ed his deadly gun at the very fountain
head of justice.
Others will read more carefully the
particulars and give way to reflection.
WEIGH, it seems, had both arms
MANNED by Northern Pacific railroad
train, and is probably rendered nearly
helpless for life. His story is that he
paid a railroad employe 81 to let him
ride and that later, upon refusal to dig
up more, a brakeman threw him off the
train while in motion, when the car
wheels passed over and crushed both
arms.
1t is admitted that the company took
the injured man to their hospital and
treated and cared for him at their own
expense When the man. was in this
condition the company's agents induced
WEIGH to sign a release from all liza
bility, in consideration of the company
paying doctor and hospital bills. e,-
1t is pertinent here to inquire why
the company should take this man tc
their hospital and pay his bills if in
the opinion of the experts the company
was not liable. Again, why should the
company ask him to sign release il
they were not bound?
Without going further into evidence
these two admitted facts should con
vince all that the company, whose
agents knew all the facts, regarded
themselves as liable for WEIGHS in
juries?
Next we come to the detestible prac-
tice of corporations of using every
sneaking and underhand method to i'm
pose upon the weakness and ignorance
of their victim to get him to sign a
release. T
Such releases they usually succeed in
getting, and armed with these they
enter court and demand a verdict in
their favor, and that judge takes the
case from the jury.
They have overreached the spirit of
our laws and the fundamental principles
of justice. BY sharp trick and a
technicality they have thwarted justice,
subverted the law, abolished trial by

An Open Letter to the Farmers Tril,-
une.
l have been reader of your paper
for the last two years. Since the peace
treaty with Spain your editorial page
has been smeared with vile, slanderous
names, hurled with all the power you
are master of, at the character of those
who oppose expansion by force, or that
claim the Filipinos have rights. if an
inferior race, that others are bound to
respect
Evidently, you hope to bring those
people that oppose expansion by force
into contempt with their fellows. Is
this free country? Have l a right to
my views? Have l right to voice
them? Is there any argument in ridi-
cule? Have you any right, morally or
legally, to call names that make for the
disturbance of the peace?

statute books of Minnesota that makes

AltEeld the Money of the Future.
1t has frequently been asserted that
many of the advocates of free silver
coinage at the ratio with gold of Is to
would not be satisfied with the re-
Mobilization of the white metal, but that
fiat money pure and simple was the end
toward which they were aiming. This
assertion is given color by the latest in

who, next to Mr.. Bryan, is perhaps the
foremost champion of the free coinage
policy. In response to the question,

A BAIT FOR SUCKERS,
The Minneapolis Times of Jan.

The Minneapolis Times of Jan. 13
says:
Marion c. Butler, chairman of the ma
tional Populist committee has written a
letter to prominent local Populist, in
which he says that determined work on
the part of the Minneapolis members of the
party will secure the next Populist nation
al convention for this city. He suggests
that the preliminary steps toward securing
the convention be taken at once. Mayor
Gray has extended an invitation to the ma
tfonal committee. The time of the con-
vention is yet to be decided
This is all nonsense. The bulk of
the Populist vote of the United States
is in the South. Is it reasonable that

Texas, Georgia, ETC., should be brought

Letter to ID. r. Cochran,
ReunOldSriLLe. Pa.

Dear Sir-As "a painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally
object to Devoe lead and zinc. Let MS
have few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil job
will last three years, and they say a
house ought to be painted once in three
years.
We take them to mean that their
work Is good for three years, no more
and no less, or not much more and not
much less.
Do you want your work to last longer?
What do you say to six years. You'd
have to have twice as much work, you
know, or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor. You
call him in. is 1t better for him to get
your child out of bed tomorrow, or keep
him sick for a month?
You prefer quick doctor. So does
every one else in your town, and county,
and state. We are all alike; we all
want our doctors quick. a doctor that
gets his patients up quick, is the doctor
that gets the patients-gets rich too, if
he isn't run TO death.
It's about the same with painter
isn't it? Suppose you paint Devoe, and
your competitor objects to Devoe: your
work lasts six years and his work three.
You cost your customers half; he costs
double. Who'll get the business; and
who'll go to Texas?
Devoe lasts six years-not exactly
we know of its lasting seventeen-and
it never wears out in less than three, so
far as we know. On windy, sandy
seaside house, it lasts three years. Lead
and oil lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil; and its going to paint
your town. Do you want to be in 1t?
Yours truly,
! 2 f. w. DEvoE 4 Co.

chael-Close of Bookings.

Another large list of passengers has
been booked for the steamship Austria
liza, leaving here on the goth of this
month. The list is not as large as
might be expected, however, in con-
sideration of the fact that no other
steamers are taking any passengers,
and 1t shows that the San Francisco
idea of people fleeing from the plague"
is wrong one. Every time the Aus
tralia arrives once a month from Ho-
nolulu With big list, it is reported in
San Francisco that the people are be-
ing driven out by plague. whereas as
matter Of fact the number is not
nearly equal to the average monthly
travel from here to the coast. The
reasons for this are the Inconvenience
of quarantine and the fact that the
tourist travel has stopped.
Eighty passengers are now on the
list TO take tine Australia on her next
trip. They are compelled to go through
the same sort of quarantine as the
last two lots, satisfying DR.. CarmihaeI
that they are fit to leave. No tickets
will be sold except to these who have

THE GAME OF CRAPS.
It's Methods and Appliances Explained
to Judge Wilcox.


The twenty odd crap shooters, who
were arrested night before last, together
with another bunch arrested yesterday,
are on trial today in the District court,
The testimony dealt largely with the
method of playing the game, and Judge
Wilcox was given to understand and
be informed that it is a game played
with two dice. Each player throws the
dice in turn. There seems to be some
variations in the method of playing,
but in the case before the court, IL the
player on the first throw threw three,
he lost. If he threw seven or eleven,
he won. If he threw any other numDer
he continued to throw until he threw
the same number, when he won. unless
before throwing this number he threw
seven, when he lost and the throw
passed to the next player.
In the actual playing of the game all
kinds of words of incarnation are used
by the players, either to invoke good
luck for themselves, or bad luck for
their opponents. But it was not argued
by counsel that these had any legal eff
feet on the question of the guilt or in
nocence of the defendants.
