The Argus Slur at Bosch.

II the last issue of his paper the
Argus man poses before his readers as
candid man This must be great
relief to his readers, as they must
have known there was something lack
ing in his mental makeup; but they
probably did not know where the
vacancy was.
AS a candid man he says he has
'known Bosch, our candidate for repre-
sentative, for two years, and knows
mis- views on public questions. The
truth of the matter is he has met Bosch
twice in his Office during that time and
the only question discussed there was
about the trusts. Our car didate says
that Mr.. Wharton spoke so radically
then about those combinations and
especially about the paper trust, that
it would make good campaign material
for a peoples party stump speaker.
AS he depends for his living on re-
publican patronage and has family
to support, we will not reproduce his
words till after election.
AS candid man the Argus editor
says: 'Mr. Bosch is out of joint with
the times and unprogressive in mat
ters that pertain to the advancement
of the affairs of the nation.'' Let US
see:
M. Bosch has been a producer all
his life, and even this year has added
ten times more to the wealth of this
nation than Mr.. Gandrud and MIR.
Wharton put together.
AS a landowner he has a bigger
stake in the county than the repub-
lican scribblers in Willmar, and as
such he would work for the oest inter-
ests of his brother farmers.
AS a sensible man he is pessimistic
enough to believe that every egg will
not hatch u chicken, especially when
placed in republican incubator.
The Argus man, unused to play the
role of a candid man, exposes only
his ignorance. He states that Mr..
Bosch is against the government
Now Mr.. Wharton ought to know
that gov rnment finally rests with the
people themselves.
Why does the republican admins
tration make such frantic efforts for
reelection? Why does Mr.. Mckinney
60 home to Canton to vote for him
self? If the real power of government
rests with him, if he is the govern
ment, why doesn't he esta olish him
self in power for life?
1t is a bad sign for man that
whenever he becomes candid he ex-
poses his ignorance. To pretend to
mould public opinion, and then to
need correction on point that every
American schoolboy knows!
If Mr.. Wharton's man Gandrud is
as we'll posted on the fundamental
principles underlying our government,
a course of study in our common
schools would be beneficial to him.

One of the most Influential republi-
can newspapers in the Seventh dis
trict contained the following editorial
leader in it's issue of April 10, 1900:
Opposition to Congressman Eddy's
denomination is not as . rule based
on either personal or fsctional 8 rounds;
it is founded on broader lines, namely,
those Of principle. There are several
reasons for the wave Of adverse senti-
ment, which If it does not prevent his
nomination will surely defeat him at
tho polls, and t.ey are in part as fol-
lows: His vote on the Por o Rican tar
iff bill aroused antagonism, not alone
because the measure violates a ma
tional promise or that it establishes a
danger Gus precede"t, but because Mr..
Eddy ignored and refused to recognize
tho majority sentiment Of his constitu-
ency. The Porto Rican bill involve S

The moral principle which the measure
violates is the solemn promise Of this
nation made to the Porto Ricans by

the administrator that Porto Rico

Information has reached us from a
reliable, source that thirty hired heel
ers have been sent out to work all
over the county against Axel Hedin.
AS the time is too Short to allow Axel
an opportunity to follow them up,
they will probably not be very careful
about what they say. Look out for
them. Remember they are hired to

fend himself You have known him
for years and know he is good man

St0|e WheQI INSPECTION,
Evidence which Shows that Ger.
tain Elevator Men Have Graded
Farmers Wheat Low, Although
They Themselves Have Re-
ceived Good Grades for Same
If You Have Had Cause for
Complaint at Your Station, Look
the Matter Up and Help Expose
the Guilty Persons.

Complaints have been received from farm
ers in certain quarters of the state of unjust
grading of wheat by certain buyers, who
have graded ine-looking wheat way down,
on the plea that the state inspection had
stltfened. Such is not the case, however.
The state inspection has maintained abso-
lutely uniform grades and holds it at the
same point at one time of the year as we'll
as at the other, when the wheat goes into
the terminal elevators as we'll as when il
goes out. Certain elevator companies do
not appreciate this strictly impartial sys-
TEN, however,, and are doing everything
they can to bring discredit upon the inspec-
tion Department. in order to prevent the
election OF the present railroad commission,
and thus again obtain control of the inspec-
tlon department. as they enjoyed it under
Clausen. Thus it seems that they withhold
the true grades from their buyers and COM
pei them to grade down the wheat of farm
ers on the plea that former shipments fell
short. They in turn tell this to the farmers
and blame the state inspection. This not
only serves the political purposes of the
wheat ring, but the grade thus stolen goes
into it, pockets. They rob the farmers and
| then ask tho farmers to vote for tho crowd
that robs them.
Any person who has the initials, number
and date of shipment of car can obtain a
| certificate of the grade given such car by
| application at the inspection department.
Anyone interested and who believes that tho
fair thing has not been done at his station
should get a list of the cars and date of
Shipment and ascertain what grades were
given these cars by the state inspection. Il
the general average of grades and dockaee
give the cars from your town by the state
t inspection were better than, the average
grades and dockage given the farmers, the
fraud ia proven. The following letter ex-

Hon. H. Plowman,

| DEAR SIR.-When LII our county last. sew
eral farmers in the vicinity of Underwood
and some near Battle Lake complained
about the inspection this year, stating that
the buyers gave them nothing but No. 2,
with heavy dockage. The buyers claimed
they did not get auy better grade. I looked
at some of the wheat, and as it looked all
right for No. l wheat, it struck me that
something was wrong, and l obtained list
from the railroad agent at Underwood of all
wheat cars shipped from that place since
Oct. 1st to date, and find here in the inspec-
tion Office that every car but one has grade
| No. l. Here is a list of the cars:

DIES MONIES AND FORT DODGE.

Des Moines and Fort Dodge common stock was
taken by good buyers yesterday, and the fact was
recalled that the company paid per cent in 1893
and 1900 on the preferred stock. with surplus in
both years for the common. The lease Of the Des
Moines and Fort Dodge Railroad TO the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company expires
on January l. 1905 1t is possible that some new ar
rangement between the two companies will be per-
fected before that date but the nature of that
rangement connot be foretold at present. Under
the lease now IN force the Rock Island pays the
Des Mones and Fort Dodge 80 per cent OF the gross
earnings as a rental, and guarantees that such
rental shall be equal to per cent on the first
mortgage bonds and 21a per cent on the second
mortgage bonds, anything over such interest being
applicable TO dividend payments on the preferred
and common stock. In 1898 the earnings Of the
leased road were sufficient to pay all fixed charges
and per cent the preferred in 1894 and 1895 the
preferred stock received per cent in 1896 1897 and
1898 dividends the preferred we're per cent.
The preferred stock is entitled to no more than z
per cent until the common stock receives an equal
amount annual dividends: thereafter both stocks
divide earnings equally.
