trap set by the Democratic schemers tC
catch political gudgeons. The 0ficers OF
the so-called Populfst Organization and the
members of their committee are mere errand

to carry out the will OF James X. Jones
and William J. Bryan, Democratic bosses.
The truth is, the fusion party Of Min

It has no principles. 1t seeks only the

EXPENSES TO CINCINNATI.

proposition from H. v. Poore, of Bird
Island, which should inspire every Pop
ulist with desire to do his share to-
ward sending Minnesota's delegation to
Cincinnati. 1t can hardly be expected
that many Populists will contribute as
literally as Mr.. Poore has done. Look
at and consider his proposition and then
let every farmer who reads this paper
act upon it.
II you don't want the eggs, find some
neighbor who does want them, get his
81 and send it to the Representative
and we will forward the order to Mr..
Poore and see that the 81 helps some
delegate go to Cincinnati. We reprint
this week the list of As delegates chosen
to go to Cincinnattaand every neighbor
of each of these delegates should assist
his delegate to go.
Let each neighbor donate 81 and we
will send the full delegation. Go per-
sOnally to your delegate and hand him
81. Do it at once so he may know he
can raise the money to pay his expenses.
Then get some good Republican neigh
Dor to send for 26 of Mr.. POore's eggs
and this 81 will be used to help the dele
gates most in need of help. With these
personal contributions and Mr.. Poore's
egg fund we hope to reduce cost of the
trip to delegates to about $40 each. At
this low figure every delegate chosen
should embrace the chance to see this
country toward the south and help ad-
vance the cause of reform. Mr.. Poore
has set the pace Who will be next?
We shall publish list of contribut-

cooperation with either of the old

declare myself no longer a Peoples

But when it comes to the fusion part
of politics then 1 am convinced IAN

DECADENCE OF FAMILY LIFE.
Instinct of Motherhood Rapidly Dv-
ing Out Among American woman

Instinct of Motherhood Rapidly Dy-
Ing Out Among American Women.
'There are other and greater facts of
which can but hint here which prove how
deep is the decadence of the old sacred
family life, and how rapidly the instinct
OF motherhood is dying out among orr
women" writes "An American Mother in
the April Ladies' Home Journal. Zone is
tne rapid and enormous increase of divorces
IN this country, especially in the north
eastern farming states. It is not only the
gay, self-indulgent husband and wife who
tire OF each other, but the plodding farmer
and the woman who is old and worn out
with work. Another fact, even more tragic
and significant, is the number of childless
homes in the northern states. Hundreds
of the Oldest leading American families
have become extinct in the last decade. The
women of these families were notably active
in public work. So large has been the
decrease of births of American parentaee
in one section of this country that there
Is real danger that the native stock there
will entirely die out. There are darker
depths here which 1 shall not uncover, All
women have looked into them"
These shameful tendencies are most
strongly manifested where plutocracy
is most powerful, they are not found
where POpulism fourishes.

timents of 1776. If the republic is to
live Populism must succeed. I'D.

To the Representative: The Georgia
Peoples party state convention yester-
day was grand success. 1t was one
OF the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held in the state-made nearly al
together of serious, earnest, intelligent
farmers
THERE WAS NOT A FUSIONIST in
THE WHOLE GREAT GATHERING.
The man who advocated fusion would
have been forcibly elected from the hall.
When Mr.. Peake, the able chairman,
denounced Senator Butler, of North
Carolina, as traitor the applause was
overwhelming.
There will be no delegation from
Georgia to the Sioux Falls jamboree.
unless it Is made up of Democrats, false
ly claiming to be- Populists. And that
seems to be the feeling all over the
South. The Sioux Falls affair will be
a shameful fizzle.
l never saw more cheerful, hopeful
body OF men than the Populists of
Georgia. They rejoice in being clear of
Butler, Weaver, Allen ct al. forever.
There is general conviction that the
Cincinnati convention will be the larg-
est and most enthusiastic body of pa
tr1ots ever assembled in the United
States.

| Three United States senators and a
representative of the Standard Oil in
terests are about to leave Washington
for Cuba. The senators are Platt, of
| Connecticut; Aldrich, of Rhode Island;
Teller, Of Colorado. The representa-
tive of the Standard Oil interests is
John D. Rockefeller, Jr All will travel
on the United States dispatch boat
Dolphin, provided and provsioned by
the government
1t is given authoritively that young
Rockefeller will not travel at the ex-
pense of the government
But why is he going along at all? A
senatorial committee has been appointed
to investigate the conditions in Cuba
and the relations of that island to the
United States. 1t will be a pleasant
junket, and as such things are of COM
mon occurrence any protest is presum-
ably useless. But again we ask where
does young Rockefeller come in? How
is his share of the expense to be fixed?
Will he pay for his berth, and if he pays
for it. who will act as collector for
transmitting the money to the United
States treasurer?
Will he eat out of the official COM
missariat, or will he take along basket
of cold grub?' If he eats out of the
official commissariat, who is to keep tab
on him? 1t would hardly comport with
the dignity Of United States senator
to act as waiter and mark up the score.
There is reason to believe that some
senators do fetch and carry" for the
Standard, Oil, but they do not do it in
that way.
Again, it is pertinent to inquire who
invited Mr.. Rockefeller. If a senator.
by what authority?' If the captain of
the Dolphin, by whose leave? II the

purpose New York News.

WHY DON'T THEY9

Sometimes one question will answer an
other. Occasionally fusion Populist (iust
think OF it, fusion Populist) will ask us.
Why don't you give it to the Republicans ?
You are always going for the Democrats. -
We will answer that question by asking an
other. Why don't you fusion Pops) give it
to the Democrats? You are always going
for the Republicans?
OF course fusion Pops will not ego
for the Democrats" because they are
"allies," they "all think alike" thew
all vote the same ticket and that ticket
is always the Democratic ticket. It
would not be consistent for fusion Pom
to go for Democrat and then vote for
him. Besides the above reasons an at
tack on Democrats by fusion Pop
would materially diminish the POPS
chance for pie and it isn't natural for
a fusion Pop to kick the dispenser of
pie. The fusion Pop reserves his most
vicious kicks for the Mid-Road Populist
and Republicans who publicly expose
his appetite. e. A. r.

ECHOES FROM ANTITRUST CONFER.
ENCE.
Onr readers will remember that at
the antitrust conference" held in
Chicago April IL, 1900, we argued that
II they were going to reach any prac-
tical results they should adjourn to a
day named, and hold a great national,
non-partfsan convention, and appeal
to all the people to join them at the bal
lot box. But they voted us down, with
good deal Of personal abuse from
Weaver and others who could not see
any help for Bryan in such a movement.
The result was the whole thing fell fiat
as founder.
Now some feeble chickering's of life
begin to manifest themselves in the
twitterings of it's tail. One of our local
papers says:
Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Wentworth, both of
whom are to appear at the antitrust meet
Ing to be held at Century hall this even
Ing. arrived In the city yesterday. To The
Tribune Mr.. Wentworth, who, as secre-
tary OF the big antitrust conference held
at Chicago, speaks with some authority,
stated that the movement was essentially
non partisan, though he declared that in
asmuch as at the present time the Demo-
cratic party more nearly met the ideals for
which they were fighting it would doubtless
proht by their support If the coming ma
tlonal convention adopted proper platform
planks. A simple declaration that trusts
are an evil to be regulated or abolished
would not be sufficient. Personally he
thought the tariff a. breeder of trusts. but
the conference declaration merely went so
far as to say that the tariff should be
abolished upon materials entering into the
manufacture Of articles by trusts
speaking regarding Mr.. Bryan's declara-
tion that the government should control the
trusts, Mr.. Wentworth was surprisingly
emphatic. Said he:
1t Is silly, absurd and boyish state
ment and will not suffice to obtain for
Mr.. Bryan our political support The
idea OF government control is folly,
nothing less.
We are not antis, either, but a BODY
OF men fighting for the abolition of an
evil. l don't like the word anti" and
do not care to be known as antitrust.
What we believe in is, as stated before.
the abolition Of the tariff upon articles
entering into the manufacture of trust
articles and the abolition of all special
privileges, including government owner
snip or all natural monopolies, such as
railroads, telegraphs and telephone sys-
TENS.
This is broadening out into some
thing very like our Populist platform.
But you cannot grind the flour with
the water that has already passed
through the mill. The opportunity was
lost on Feb. 12.
The Democratic party kills everything
1t touches. IN

A. n. HOLSTON FOR CONGRESS-.


The Crookston Daily News mentions
A. r. Holston as a candidate for con-
gress from the Seventh district.
The vote in Mr.. Holston's county is
about In the following proportions:
Republicans, 1000; Populists, 1900;
Democrats, 600. Mr. Holston is true
Populist, and it is very strange that
these 600 Democrats should allow his
name to be mentioned for any Office.
The Democratic vote of the entire
state, counted within strict party lines.
was never more than about one-sixth
the entire vote, and in matter of state
offices the Democratic aspirations do not
stop short of all the Offices from gov
ernor to constable. If the Red River
Valley Democrats were up-to-date and
possessed of the true spirit of BRYAN
reformed Democracy they would i'm
medlately demand that Mr.. Holston be
slde-tracked for some Democrat, that
1,5OO Populists should abandon their
party organization and their candidate
to help 600 Democrats whip the Republi-
cans and capture the offices. If Mr..
Holston lived further south his avowed
Populism would so offend Democrats
that they would not allow him to play
in their back yard.
Mr.. Holston is lawyer of Crookston,
a young man of energy and ability to
NIL the Office and should do credit to his
