A MINNESOTA FARMER

Hon Clifford Sifton, Minister of the

tention OF settling there, l have much
pleasure in stating that through in

Manitoba in February, 1898. When
called upon Mr.. McCreary he spared no
pains 10 give me all the information,
etc., In his possession, the result OF
which was that l came here with
letter OF introduction from him to the
secretary OF the Virden Board OF
Trade. That gentleman provided me
with competent land guide, and.
although there was considerable snow
on the ground. | had no difficulty In
selecting three homesteads for myself
and sons. Having made the necessary
homestead entries at the land Office in
brandon, i returned to my home In
Lyon county, Minnesota. and came back
here In May following. accompanied
by one OF my boys, bringing with US
two teams of horses, implements. etc.
Our first work was to erect a tempo
rary shanty and stable, after which
we broke and leveled seventy-flye
acres and put up thirty tons OF hay.
l went back to Minnesota about July
~, leaving my son here. / returned
In October, bringing my family with
me. found that the land we had
acquired was Of good quality, being
a strong clay loan with clay subsoii.
Last spring ! sowed 100 acres In wheat
and fifty acres in oats and barley
(Seyenty-fye acres of this grain was
sowed on "go-back" plowed last
spring. My crop was sh~ashed In

MONEY KINGS
BY EDWIN MARKHAM NJ.
a-

All men are bound in q mysterious league
And while our rulers fancy they are free,
The weight and darkness of the world fatigue
Come breaking in upon them like sea
They are rs weary as the men Of toll,
And know not why they cannot sleep at night;
They know not why they weary in their spoil
Nor what it is that saddens their delight
Life holds a wondrous mystery; no man
Can ever build with gold sheltered nest;
For the world fate has laid IA secret ban
And sworn there never shall be private rest.
O spoilers, fleeing unto other lands,
Flight cannot save you from the Peoples Fate
Nor is there rest in mansions made with hands,
Nor wall the world grief will not penetrate.
1t is the world-gref you have helped to build
That now becomes your sepulehre and stone;
1t is the burden that your cold heart wlled
For Others that has now become ynurown
Your minds are stunted in their stunted minds;
Your souls are smutted by their laborsm
Your flesh is broken by the wheel that grinds
Nonr brother STOPPING in the labor-rut.
You ground your riches from the common crew.
And did not stoop to lift the Common Care;
Now you are forced to drink the common brew
Now you are weighted by the world. ,i.despair
You bear the burden of the Common Lot
In spite of all your effort to evade
Yours Is the endless WEAKNESS, but not
The consolation Of the plough and spade.
o money kings, If you would rest again
II you would find place to lay your head,
Come help to build rest for weary men,
And, nightly, Gods own hands will make vou

ARRAlONMENT OF REPUBLICAN
POLICIES BY REPUBLICANS.

If the Republican party can be
successful in the coming election,
in face of the sledge-hammer blows
delivered at its policy by men who
have heretofore been among its
most ardent supporters, then a sad
farewell may be hidden to the Re-
public as framed by the Fathers
and plutocracy be welcomed, per-
force, in its stead; a confession be
made that Doodle is all-powerful in
controlling the votes of a degenerate
people.
The readers of the States will re-
member that short time since a
large gathering in Cooper Institute,
New York, was addressed by Hon.
Carl Schurz, Ex-Governor Boutwell,
and others. Mr.. Schurz's arraign-
ment Of his party was especially
severe, one sentence of which we
reproduce as follows:
II am firmly convinced that if the
question were submitted to them
on a reasonably clear issue an over
whelming majority Of the Ameri-
can people would show themselves
eager to demonstrate their moral
soundness by washing their hands
Of this bloody iniquity, and by
thus making it manifest to all the
world that they are an honest and
q just people, and that the Republic
of Washington and Lincoln still
lives"
And we here give an extract from
the address OF Mr.. Boutwell,:
"And thus = party that became
historically great for its victories
IN war, and for its achievements in
peace, bows in subserviency to q
self-created dictator. What is the
remedyi The party must be. over
thrown, and in its downfall the
dictatorship will disappear, and in
. qnadrennial period, or in . de-
cade, the party, regenerated, may
come again to the head Of affairs in
the Republic. /"
After the close Of Mr.. Bontwell's s
speech the chairman introduced
Capt. Patrick O'Farrell, . lifelong
Republican, and brave soldier,
who served during the civil war in

WAR BEGINS IN CHINA.

There is much reason to believe, tha
when the forts at Taku opened fire las
Sunday morning upon the ships of the in
ternational fleet the signal was given fo
the beginning Of operations, which, in al
probability. will result in the Chinese en-
pire being etfaced from the map of TIA,
world. II it is true as reported that tn,
forts fired upon the international fleet il
obedience to orders from Pekin, then it is
evident that China. to use the language OF
the prize ring, has served notice of her in
tention to fight all comcrs, bar none.
In Europe the fact is recognized that
the long expected crisis has come and war
| begun The powers are landing troops
with the greatest possible dispatch and III
a short time an advance in force will be
made upon Pekin. as Russia, Germany
Japan and France are massing troops at
Taku. Russia. however, is better prepar-
ed for aggressive operations than any
other power for the reason that she has n
large military force at Port Arthur and
has assembled 40, 900 men with seven bat
teries at Kiachta, $50 miles northwest of
Pekin
The dispatches from Washington an
nounce that orders have been cabled GEN.
Macarthur to send the Ninth Infantry
from the Philippines for service in China,
and they will sail on the transport Han
cock this week for Taku II is also re-
ported that other regiments will follow at
an early day, and in all about 5000 we'll
equipped soldiers now in the Philippines
will be ordered to China, but there is rca-
son to believe that Gen. Macarthur can
not spare such large number of troops
for only q few weeks ago he cabled the
war department that he was in need Of
additional forces and especially several
regiments of cavalry.
1t is claimed that American troops will
60 to China for the sole purpose of protect
ing American interests, and to that end
Admiral Kempf has been given power to
fight, to siezc ports and to do anything
which he deems best. The chances are,
however, that it will not be n great while
if the war in China becomes general be-
fore the United States is involved in the
task of carving up the celestial empire and
than more heavy burdens in the form of
war expenditures will be heaped upon the
people. At Washington Imperialism runs
mad, and it will not be difficult to spread
the spirit among the officers of the Ameri-
can army and navy now in Asia, all of
whom are eager for promotion.
Having seized the Philippines the grab
bing of a slice of China will commend it.
self to the imperialists and jingoes of the
administration. And once this govern
ment is drawn into the Chinese war the
American people, already suffering from
onerous war taxes and the extortions of
the trusts, will rue the day they permitted
ths schsnalng kiAley an1L LtAs. slssessspu-l
lous politicians around him to engage in
the game Of "world politics."
