CHICKERING'S.

We have received the following letter
from an old and honored friend, whose
! name is household word all over Min
nesota:
MOORHEAD, Mimi, March 7.
Editor Representative:
enclosed find 81 to place me right on youI
subscription for a little while, at least
| ! am aking no apology for having become
reason why.
feel mortified and disgusted that among
the little band of staunch Populists that
still uphold the Omaha declaration of prin
c1ples they have SO many Quarrels and bick-
erlngs among themselves. 1t seems to me we
nave too many to command and dictate and
too few to obey or drill in the ranks There
are thousands in this state who believe as
much In the old platform as they ever did
but they are disgusted and discouraged to
work with lot OF reformers who only seem
to reform others without beginning with
themselves first. will grant them honesty
of purpose. but doubt their judgment.
r. M. PROBSTFIELD.
There Is a great deal of truth in the
complaint of Brother Probstfeld.
We do not think, however, that the
great body of the rank and file of the
true Populists are to be justly charged
with chickering's and contentiousness;
they are as peaceful and orderly body
Of citizens as there Is in the state. 1t
takes, however, but few drops of ink
to cloud glass of milk; and half
dozen wrangling fellows will make it
look as if our whole membership were
punching and choking each other.
And sometimes it happens that the
men who execute these war dances are
not pre-eminently distinguished for
honesty. The remedy is in the hands of
honest men. Do not hesitate to sit
down upon and squelch these disturbers
especially where they crop up in eau
cuses and conventions Tell them firm
ly that you insist upon peace and har-
mony among those who are working
towards the same end.
Of course we do not mean to say that
honest differences of opinion as to men
or methods should not be fearlessly ex-
pressed.
The difference between solid and gas
eous forms of matter consists in the fact
that in the former condition the infinite
molecules are drawn towards each
other; in the latter condition they are
driven apart-they expand until nothing
appreciable is left of them. You may
carve an immortal statue out of marble
you cannot make it out of air. If
the Peoples party is to accomplish any
enduring work, those who belong to it
must be filled with a brotherly senti-
ment of forebearance and friendliness
We are entering upon great and mo-
mentous campaign. Let us be kind and |
generous with each other. Id.

| things, would lead q candid observer to
| believe that they had lost it when it
comes to politics. when they take the
position that reform can come by fusion
or mixing up with a political party that
| relies upon money and the worst meth
DDS that have grown out of partisan
politics for success. The claim that the
Democratic party has reformed under
Bryan's leadership is the veriest bosh.
First they boldly steal portion of the
Peoples party platform, then nominate
man for second place on their ticket
who stands for the opposite of the prin-
ciples they have stolen, and follow this
up by securing the assistance of man
like Senator Allen, of Nebraska, who in
presiding at the Peoples party conven-
ton at st. Louis boldly lied when asked
If he had received dispatch from Bryan
refusing to accept the Peoples party
nomination unless they also nominated
Sewall, the millionaire banker and rail-
road president. Then we must not 60

methods they adopt to win our conf
dence. Credentials written out in a law
yer's office for four delegates to the
county convention, temporary chairman
selected in the same Office and list of
the committee on credentials and a de-
liberate refusal to allow the seating of
two delegates who had driven 30 miles
to attend said convention, and this in
the face of the law that gives the right
to recognition as delegates.
There were $50 votes cast for the only
man on the ticket in 1898 as a Peoples
party candidate by true reform voters in
this county. One hundred and thirteen
more votes than the Democrats polled in
this county in 1894. Those $50 votes
were a direct protest against fusion
and the fusionists will have to reckon
with those $50 votes in their deal this
year. They, no doubt, expect to win
them over by applying the term mid
readers" to them.
Ihere was time In this county
when the people were so earnest that
they required every candidate placed in
nomination to come out openly and de-
clare where he stood on questions at
issue. AS soon as fusion was gained,
then ANY old thing" would do Just to
fill out the ticket. We were expected to
support banker for the senate and men
who had denounced our efforts for re-
form for other places on the ticket. / |
have nothing against bankers as individ-
uals, but none will ever get my vote: |
neither will lawyer, not even for |

position just as well. We are troubled |
with an overproduction of bankers and |
lawyers in the United States congress /
and in all state legislation their interests
are too well looked after. / shall use

R"mor That Cleveland VIII Come
Out for Bryan.
Special to the Journal,
WASHINGTON. March 15-There is q
story abroad that Grover Cleveland who
heretofore has not lent his aid to the can
dfdacy OF Bryan, is about to come out in
support Of the Nebraska silverite. MANY OF
Clevelands followers, who in the Campaign
Of 1896 held aloof from Bryan and his ic
I issue. have already come into line for the
candidate. AS the gold standard bill is now
law, and as the money question is largely
removed from the position 1t occupied in
1896 It is argued that there is nothing to
keep Mr.. Cleveland In the background. His
friends here are so certain that he will in
dorse Bryan that they declare he soon will
come out with signed statement advising
the Democrats to act together in the com
ing campaign.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Wheat declined
to-day on lower cables and sympathy
with corn, September closing 7sc un-
der yesterday. Corn sold off on rains
in the growing belt and closed NO
1870 lower for September. September
oats closed Zee lower Provisions
were weak, 121A@15c to soc down at
the close.
All the session the monthly govern
ment crop report due after the close
stood as successful barrier to specu-
lative operations in grain. In wheat
there was the narrowest market in
weeks. September opened Is to 10
INC under yesterday at S01s to 1875
and sold off to 1875 soon after. Until
the concession in price had been made
there was practically no demand. The
occasion Of the shrinkage in values
over night was in heavy receipts at
Liverpool which resulted in decline
of %@1Ad at that market. Corn was
also weak and this had depressing
effect. September recovered to $3.50
S01a, later helped by big decrease in
the worlds visible and by better cash
demand. 1t did not hold it, however,
and the close was barely steady, B
under yesterday at sos. Trade
throughout was mostly nibbling for
small profits by scalpers. The worlds
visible decreased 100000 bushels.
Shipping sales here were 100000 BUSH
els and New York reported 100000
bushels taken for export. Clearances
were equal in wheat and flour to 49,
600 bushels. At primary points re-
ceipts aggregated 98S,000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 104
cars against 96 last week and 657
year ago. 1t was figured that a report
making the total crop over 5000000 900
would eb bearish; under that, bullish.
Corn was moderately active but ner-
vous in the face of the approaching
of the government report. Kansas
and other parts of the country where
the big crops come from had cool
weather and good rains. AS the crop
expert has been saying bad things
would happen without the afore-
mentioned moisture and as the
market has been bulled on the dryness,
there was naturally a move in the op-
posite direction to-day. There was a
good cash business, about 900, 900 BUSH
els. September sold between 44c and
43#c, closing 1A@1ssc under yester-
day at 43Ac. Receipts were LOIS cars.
Oats were quiet and relatively stead
Ter than the otner grain markets The
government report will probably show
some loss in the northwest This fact
saved the market from further decline
in sympathy with corn and wheat.
There was a fair commission house
demand on the early break Septem-
Der sold between 237sc and 24Ac, and
closed 1ac down at 24c. Receipts were
$50 cars
Provisions were weak, influenced by
large hog receipts, easiness at the
yards and the grain weakness. There
was considerable selling by big local
Spectator which aided in the slump
ing. September pork sold between
$l2.S5@12.50, and closed 30c under yes
terday at s12.571ac; September lard
between s6.971s and $685., closing
1212@15c down at S6.S5@6S71a, and
September ribs between s7.071s and
$685., with the close 15c down at $685..

ton that the monthly crop report
would show material improvement in

winter wheat belt which had suffered
from too much rain, played large
part in the days advance, and large

cheerful tone in the foreign markets in
response to the better news from Chi
ma had a larger influence in the market
than news from that source has had
previously. The better tone in Berlin
was especially marked and doubtless
the buying back of Americans sold last
week from that center accounted for
the special strength of the Paciflcs and
other Berlin favorites. The strong

ton both in loans and note issue and
