EFFECT ON POLITICS.

LONDON, June 22.-Mr. F. G. Logan
OF the Chicago board Of trade, de-
clares that the current advance in
the price of wheat insures the agricultural
vote Of the United States for Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Speaking to correspondent to-
day, Mr.. Logan said
THE radical rise in the price Of wheat
during the past six weeks. which has been
realized without any semblance of manipu-
lation. is certain to rebound to the benefit
of the Republican party. The farmers will
not stop to analyze the natural causes that
have effected the advance The president
will be the undoubted object OF their graft
tude''
That's the opinion of a fool Londoner.
But suppose wheat goes to $1.25 BUSH
ell, and the farmers have none to sell,
won't they grind their teeth and howl?
And if they think Mckinley did it, won't
they vote for him-over the left!
Now's the time to preach Populism.
The people will be in frame of mind
to listen. An empty belly is the mother
of an inQuiring mind. Id.

A REPUBLICAN PROBLEM.

There is rapidly growing impression
among the Republicans that the pros
perity promised in 1896 has not been
a bowling success. Republican leaders
realize that the people generally regard
the so-called Mckinley prosperity as a
fake. The small semblance of pros
perity which has appeared on the sur
face in a few industries from markets
afforded by our recent wars and the
drawing away Of unemployed labor by
enlistment in the army. Few intelli-
gent Republicans feel wholly satisfied
with temporary prosperity based on
war. Fewer still would dare recon-
mend to the voters a national war as q
measure for bringing about good times.
The present problem with Republican
leaders is the effect Of war with China
on the coming election. The trusts Of
this country have put up prices of their
products and put down the wages paid
labor to point where the wages paid
will buy back for consumption only a
small part of the goods produced.
This has caused the accumulation Of
a large surplus, called by capitalists
reproduction, for the purpose Of
pacifying and fooling the workers.
Mills everywhere are shutting down
and many more to follow.
Trusts are looking now to China as a
possible market for much OF this sur
plus. II war is declared with China
idle labor would be drawn into the
army, wages would be trife better.
trusts would obtain a foreign market.
and raise prises another notch, ali of
which would help the G. q. p.
But here comes the other side OF the
question. Republican votes must he
had in November
A call for troops will take into the
army young. men who are In sympathy
with the administration and who be-
lieve in large army and foreign wars.

SECOND DISTRICT NOMINATION.


SECOND DISTRICT NOMINATION.
The Mid-Road Populists of the Second
district have nominated D. H. Evans, OF
Tracy, for congress-.
Good! A f1rstrclass nomination.
We hope Mr.. Evans will make q
thorough schodo. house canvass Of the
Second district.
The short crops will make the people
more anxious to Listen than they ever
have been.
There will be no fusion Populists in
Minnesota after the Democrats, on July

They will either come back to us or go

Very few Populists, Socialists or Bry-
antics would enlist because opposed to
the whole policy.
AS will be seen, this would send G.
0. P. voters to foreign lands and leave
at home the ants to vote the G.. o. p.
out Of power in November.
In 1896 $4,000 men drawn from the
Republican ranks might have changed
the election results.
This problem Is being figured out by
Hanna & Co., and will result In war.
Hanna believes in taking chances. He
stops at no obstacles where money can
carry him through.
The trusts want money, II backed
by the administration they are willing
to raise the campaign fund to any re-
quired size. Campaign funds can be
used to carry states otherwise against
the G. 0. P. and the troops can be taken
mostly from states with a surplus Re-
publican vote.
Here is the program, and how do you
like It? War in China and wherever
there Is an opportunity.
Trusts are to be furnished a market
for their stolen gains by war paid for
out of the pockets of the poorer classes.
Trusts make their profits coming and
going. When it comes to choice be-
tween the loss Of few hundred thous-
and Republican votes in war and the OPP
tracts and an over-fowing campaign
barrel. Hanna takes war and the bar
rel, and Hanna wins because the peo-
pie want 1t that way E. A. T.

THE REASON OF 1T.

We asked friend the other day what
had become of s. M. Owen.
He seems to be ''lost in the SHUTTLE
Although he had preached that the
Peoples party and the Democratic party
were all one and the same, and that we
should all march under one banner"
nevertheless, he does not appear as
heading the list of Democratic delegates
to the Kansas City Fourth Of July con-
'vention, or as having any place what
ever in Democratic of fusion politics,
He has crawled into rat hole.
Our friend replied that Owen was a
very ambitious man, and he had hoped
that when he led the whole Peoples
party into the Democratic camp. the
Democrats would welcome him with
open arms, and make him their state
leader. But unfortunately for him,
only fragment Of the Peoples party
turned Democratic with him; and s. M.
could not deliver the goods"
Moreover, the old leaders of the Dem
ocratic party, who had stood by it
through thick and thin, did not feel like
stepping aside for this ambitious new
conner, who was not, in any respect, a
great man, but very commonplace
political adventurer with little nom
partisan newspaper published twice
month; and which has been convicted
Of claiming twice the circulation which
it possessed.
Moreover, the Democrats are not
fools, and they had observed that in the
Peoples party state convention, of June
Is, 1898. while the editor of the Rep
resentative had preached peace and har-
mony. and advocated a Citizens move
ment," which would have swept the
state, Owen rushed to the platform and.
without a particle Of provocation, at

vention in half, and thereby defeated
every candidate on the ticket but Lind.
And they also observed that when
we replied to his assault and showed N

/ A local Minneapolis paper furnishes
this account Of al Incident in the Re-
publican county convention:
The committee on resolutions reported,
and then the convention passed resolution
providing that Chairman Peterson be one
OF the 16 delegates t-large to the state
convention, and q motion that william T.
Zoe be included in the number, offered by
an East Side delegate. was defeated because
Mr. Coo himself asked that It be left en-
tirely to the generosity Of the chair.
w. 4. Gr1mshAw was not satisfied with
alterations made In the prepared resolutions
and asked that tho name of Theodore Roose-
Welt be included as the candidate for vice.
president after the name of Mckinley.
When w. q. Dwinnell protested that such
action would stultify the Republicans OF
the county because the Minnesota delega-
ton at Philadelphia was on the ground act
Ing under Washburn instructions, Mr..
Grimshaw broke in with the exclamation:
That's all a fake
opportunity OF q lifetime for the Hennepin
county Republicans to get on the band
wagon, and show its approval of the selec-
ton Of the famous Rough Rider. He de-
clared that Hennepin county had never
pledged to the Washburn candidacy, and
had never even favored it; that an outside
delegate had introduced the resolution be-
cause no one from Hennepin would do so.
and he closed with an adjuration to drop II
for good and ALL and go after someone
whom the party wanted.
The situation was decidedly interesting
at this point, but was cut short by the chair
ruling him out of order.
Events showed that Grimshaw was
right. Roosevelt was nominated at
Philadelphia, and Washburn's name
was never presented to the convention.

It happens that these eight Western

hold every electoral vote the great Central

at least nine votes from the above table to
insure the election Of Mckinley and Roose-
Welt should the peculiar conditions in New
York result In the loss Of that state.
But, it will be said. If Mckinley is
to be beaten, Bryan will be elected.
That is not so sure.
The nomination Of Roosevelt by the

BoER ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT.
Burghers Claim They Drove the
British From Their Trenches.

BOER HEADQUARTERS, Modder Spruit,
Upper Tugela, Wednesday, January "a. mid
night, via Lourenco Marquee, Thursday,
January 25.-Some Vryheid burghers from
the outposts on the highest hills of the
Spion Kop group rushed into the lager,
saying that the kop was lost, and that the
English had taken it. Reinforcements
We're ordered up, but nothing could be done
for some time, the hill being enveloped in
thick mist.
At dawn the Heidelberg and Carolina
contingents, supplemented from other COM
mandoes, began the ascent of the hill. The
spurs, precipitous projections, faced the
Boer positions. Up these the advance was
made The horses were left under the first
terrace of rocks.
Scaling the steep hill, the Beers found
that the English had improved the oppor-
tunity and lntrenched heavily Between
the lines of trenches was an open veldt,
which had to be rushed under heavy fire,
not only from rifles, but of lyddite and
shrapnel from field guns.
Three forces assembled the three spurs CO.
ordinately under cover of the fire from the
Free State krupps, a Creusot, and a big
Maxim. The English tried to rush the
Beers with the bayonet, but their infantry
went down before the Boer rifle fire as be-
fore n scythe.
The Boer investing party advanced step
by step until 2 in the afternoon, when a
white flag went up, and $50 men in the
front trenches surrendered, being sent as
prisoners to the head lager.
The Boer advance continued on the two
kopjes east of Spion kop. Many Beers
were shot, but numerous We're the
burghers that the gaps filled automatically
Toward twilight they reached the summit
of the second kopje, but did not get farther
The British Maxims beched flame, but a
wall of fire from the Mausers held the Eng
lish back Their center, under this pres
sure, gradually gave way and broke, aban-
| doning the position.
The prisoners speak highly of the bravery
| of the burghers, who despising cover, stood
| against the skyline edges Of the summit to
shoot the Dublin Fusiliers sheltered in the
| trenches. Firing continued for some time
| and the Fusiliers and the Light Horse
| serving infantry, threw up their arms
| and rushed out of the trenches.
| The effect of the abandonment of Spior
| Kop by the English can hardly be gagged
| as yet, but it must prove to be immense
