TO ADVERTISE COFFEE.
Brazilian Farmers Will Establish Cafes
In European Cities.

Correspondence of Associated Press
Rio Janerio, March 4.-The society of
farmers has resolved to establish in the
principal cities of Europe, beginning
with Paris, in April or May, attractive
cafes for the purpose of increasing the
use Of Brazilian coffee. A large num-
Der of coffee estates have contributed
all the coffee necessary for two or three
years. and the idea is to expend in each
city selected about 90, 100 francs in pre-
pairing buildings, parching and cooking
the coffee, and in the service of the
same. 1t is thought that such an IN
dertaking will be of great practical i'm
portance in extending the use of the
beverage.
Although the Brazilian government
from consideration of economy has fail
ed to make provisions for a representa-
ton of the products and industries of
Brazil at the Paris exposition, some
thing will be done in the way of pri-
Vate enterprise. Senior Ramon Alar-
con will leave for Paris early next
month to place on exhibition a very fine
collection of views, photographs and
paintings, of some of the most interest
ing scenes of Brazilian life, architecture
al landscape, together with an album of
portraits of prominent BrazilianS. The
venture is sustained solely by those
who desire that Brazil should be repre-
scented in some way at the great inter
national display
In spite of the shortage of passengers
and baggage between San Paulo and
Rio Janeiro, due to the prevalence of
bubonic plague at Santos and other
cities, the receipts of the Central rail-
way of Brazil for January largely ex-
ceeded those of January, 1899, and those
of February showed a, CORRESPONDING in
crease. AS a result of this favorable
condition, the minister of agriculture,
Senior Alfredo Main who had all along
opposed the proposed sale or lease of
the line, was able to prevail upon the
president of the republic to refuse his
signature to the contract that had al
ready been agreed to by the minister of
finance, who by the way, is opposed to
the working of such lines by the gov
eminent.
The Brazilian warships Riachuolo and
Aquidaban will be finished about March
25, when Admiral Eduardo Wandenkolk,

cally all departments of the iron and

are several capitalists from this and
other cities of the United States while

COMPLAINT.

Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly. Esq.-Dear Sir:
see you have Mr.. T. M. Roberts, of Mime
apolis, advertisement in your paper
would like to ask you why you advertise
such fraud Of company, as / sent them
an order Dec. 8, as wanted the goods for
Christmas delivery, and they won't send the
goods nor return the money.
I would like to know is there any way to
make them put up or shut up, as l am not
the only one they have acted that way with
I find out. Yours very respectfully, await
ing speedy reply. JOHN R. REIATOR,
Feb. Is. Northcote, MINI.
(The writer of the foregoing seems to
reflect upon the Representative. We
have not advertised for Mr. Roberts
since the first of this year and we do not
hold ourselves responsible for the state
ments of those who do advertise with

COMING BACK.

AS for the Populists, 1t is doubtful II that
party has even the remnant of an organiza-
ton left A. D. Campbell is chairman OF
the old county and city committee, and 1t is
said that Mr.. Campbell Is a Mid-roader
Probably the committee Is also of Midroad
proclivities, and as such may be expected to
fall into line with the Donnelly and Fay
elements-M Tribune.
That seems to be the trend of events
all over the state.
All honest men will be welcomed back
with open arms. Those who think the
Democratic party is the same as the
Peoples party can go to the Democratic
party and stay there. We wish them nc
evil, but they must not be Democrats
and pretend to be Populists to destroy
Populism.
That is deceitful, treacherous and
damnable. l. D.

THE FREE SILVER QUESTION.


Next fall the Democrats all over the
South and West will have their paid
speakers in the field shouting free
silver"
This is another of their shams. They
don't believe in it. Read the following
Speaking of the Democratic national
committee meeting in Washington last
week, the press report says:
The Milwaukee boomers laid much stress
upon the advantage of going to Milwaukee
ing the convention proceedings published
in the German newspapers so that they
would be generally read by Germans
throughout the state. The Importance of
the German vote was dilated upon at length.
The speakers laid especial stress upon the
foreign policy of the present administra-
ton.
1t should be noticed in this connection
that both in and out Of the committee
room, in the corridors and among the COM
mitteemen and the politicians gathered in
Imperialism. much talk Of anti-militarism,
BUT PRACTICALLY NO TALK OF FREE
SILVER. This attitude of the men who
dominate the Democratic party today is re-
garded as of extreme significance.
Four years ago at this time there was
only one issue talked of. Only one word
was on the lips Of Democrats. and that was
silver. Today, perhaps. majority of the
members of the committee are willing to
relegate silver to the rear, and to make
anti-imperialism and trusts the great ques-
tions to be presented to voters
If the Democrats betray free silver
before they get into power. what will
they do If success crowns their efforts?

SPLITTING 1T UP.

Four years ago Bryan and Sewall re-
ceived about 100000 votes. OF these
100000 were assuredly Populists.
Nine-tenths of the Populists voted the
Democratic ticket. This year not ten
per cent of the Peoples party will sus-
tain the Democratic ticket. How, then,
can the Democrats win? They are
doomed.

sought by corrupting our leaders to
divide and destroy our party. They
recognized that those holding Peoples
party principles had right in this free
country to an organization of their own,
and they did not invade our ranks under
false pretenses, pretending to be Pop
ulists, but striving to slaughter us, as
the villainous Democratic leaders have
done.
But we will not be driven to the al
tentative of voting the Democratic or
Republican ticket
