The Younger brothers have been
granted q parole and will be let out
of prison as soon as suitable employ
ment can be found for them. They
will not be entirely free men, however.
They will remain under the control of
the prison board and must report to
that body every month. They can not
go into any business where they would
be used for drawing customers. They
cannot leave the state. If8they vio-
late any provision of their parole they
will be remanded to prison. ss,&
For nearly q quarter of a century,
the Youngers have been confined
the Saltwater prison. Duringti1 at
time they have been exemplary prison
ers, obeying the rules so we'll that
there 10 not a single demerit mark
against them on the records. Their
reformation seems complete, and
every man who believes that the OBJ
ject of punishment should be reforma-
ton, not revenge, will feel that the
board OF pardons did the proper thing
in this matter. The press of the state
is singularly unanimous in endorsing
the action.

was taken up and disposed of last
week. At the special session held In
June, it was understood that compli-

be decided. At least majority OF
the Board was reported as favoring
such delay. Someone must have
changed HE mind during the last few
weeks. Probably some information

there Is chance that the Pine county

WESENBERc'S "NoN.PARTlSAN" RE.
REPUBllcANlSM,

Editor Wesenberg of the Duluth
Skandinav devotes over two columns
of his Fourth of July issue in reply
ing to some comment the TRIBUNE
had made regarding his advice to his
readers to join the dominant party in
every state where there is q primary
election law. He argues that there
are but two parties, one of progress
and another of retrogression, namely
the republican and democratic part
les. Thus his brilliant logic leads to
the conclusion that in states where the
progressive party is in power one
should join that and states where the
retrogressive party is in power one
should affiliate with that. Or perhaps
the party that is in power is always
progressive?
Wesenberg argues that the peoples
party is dead. every populist
knows it," he says. We happen to
know a great many populists who are
still in ignorance of their death. If
Wesenberg managed to get into good
fellowship as republican editor be-.
fore very late last fall he no doubt re-
ceived confidential letter from II
II. Hanna, the president of the Indian
.apolis monetary commission, in which
he urges republican editors to advo-
cate currency reform, because he says,
'if the republicans do not reform the
currency system soon the PoPuL1sTs
will" Thus if populists themselves
are not. credible witnesses, perhaps
Wesenberg will explain why the ma
tional bank monopoly sharks still are
afraid OF the populists? The spirit of
populism is not dead even if some of
the original advocates of the same
weaken and join the enemies Of pop
ulist principles. In Minnesota there
are thousands of citizens who have no
other political home than the peoples
party. They have effective organiza-
tions in large sections Of the agricul-
tural districts OF the state, and they
will stick to their organization until
they find something better. Many
populists refused to join the majority

WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1901

A BOOST FOR REORGANIZATION"
The first pitched battle between the
Bryan democracy and the ''re-organ-
ization" democracy occurred in Ohio,
and the latter are the victors. There
was not much of fight in the con-
vention, as the preliminary elections
had left the re-organizers in a large
majority. The platform is a sort of
non-committal affair on national ques-
lions, Astounding in glit:ering gener-
alities that can be interpreted to suit
the readers fancy. 1t is ''broad"
enough to accommodate all who have
no particular convictions on any
questions, but have an abiding faith
in the virtues of the party name. To
capture the Bryan democracy the
state issues were drawn up on the
lines of the reforms demanded by Tom
Johnson. This part of the platform
is therefore strongly tinged with So
cialism. The purpose is evident;
there is no prospect of capturing the
state, and therefore this part is inocu-
Gus. But if the Bryan democracy
bite at the bait while the goldbug de-
mocracy of course comes back the
ticket may get q much larger vote
than has been the case with demo-
cratic tickets in Ohio of late years.
Then the re-orgaDizers will have q
good argument to use in combating
the reform element in the party. They
will say: 'Look at the result in Ohio.
On q radical platform we were con-
stantly losing votes; on conserva-
tive platform we made great gains.
and if It becomes the settled policy of
the party throughout the country we
can win" And all the time-servers
and hungry oface-seekers will rally
around the platform that will lead
them back to the Egyptian meatpots.
1t is probable that the plutocrats in
Ohio, irrespective of party, will lend
a helping hand to the state ticket,
while being careful that the legisla-
ture remains republican so that none
of the Tom Johnson demands can be
enacted into law. Unless the Bryan
democracy refuses to walk into the
trap set for them REORGANIZATION"
will receive quite boost from the
Ohio election the coming fall. It is
to be hoped that they will give the
''re-organizers" dose of the same
medicine that the latter have been CIV
ing the party in the last two national

GROWTH OF GREAT CITIES.

Census bulletin No. IS contains some
interesting statistics regarding the rap
i'd concentration of the population in
cities. In 1890 the population of the
cities and incorporated villages was
26,079,828, and the farm population
was 36,957,s76. In 1900 the urban pop.
ulation was 35,840,5l6, and the farm
population was 0,299, 06O. During
the decade the farm population had
increased only 3,34l, 1874, while the cit
les had made gain of 9.766,688.
More than one-fourth of the entire
population of the country live in cities
of over Is, 900 inhabitants. Two-thirds
OF the entire gain in urban population
was in cities of this class. There are
81 more of these cities than in 1890.
The smaller cities, with a population
less than %, 900 and more than $500,
have gained only about two million,
while the villages have gained not
quite that number.
These figures show conclusively the
centralizing effects of industrial and
transportation trusts. The small man
ufacturing villages are thing OF the
past in many places; and the next dec
ade will undoubtedly show this even
more, as the greatest trusts were or
gaized too late to show any effects in
the last census, The "home MARKET
is removed as far as possible from the
farmer. in order to give the railroads
the longest possible haul on goods
both ways. In the past the railroads
and the trusts have had to rely on a
mutual understanding in these matters;
now they are in the hands of the same
people and need fear no misunder-
standing. They will ruthlessly crush
the manufacturing villages and draw
still more people into the unhealthy
tenement districts of the great cities.

ullat9 divorced themselves from party
slavery when they broke away from
he old parties and when they join any
party In the future it will be from
principle and not because Of old pre-
judices. Think OF the apostasy Of q
participant at Cincinnati and at Oma-
ha advising his friends to join = party
because it was right forty years ago,
and when his own presence at Cincin-
natl and Omaha proves that he con-
sidered it rotten ten years ago! Pop
ulism is not dead, and it is the belief
and conviction of the editor of the
TRIBUNE that the Peoples party will
have revival, that the democratic
party will eventually be sent asunder
and that in the not distant future q
new party infused with the unadulter-
ated spirit of populism will be organ
lied from the different reform ele-
ment. The primary election law will
be more of q benefit to the. peoples
party than to the republican party,
because as rule the rank and file
take more interest in the affairs of the
party in the former.
The peoples party of Kandiyohi
county adopted direct nomination
plan of their owl and used it last fall,
and Bro. Wesenberg's double in this
county denounced it as q damnable
scheme of ringsters. Never the less
the pressure for such q law among the
rank andfile ofthe republican party in
duced that party to pass something
labeled as primary election law, and
while it is faulty it will be an improve
ment over the old style of caucus, par
ticularly for new organizations that
can secure clean start. Wesenberg's
reasoning that a refermer must join a
corrupt dominant party in order to
get any benefit from the primary cleo
ton law is thoroughly bad. Accord
ing to the Minnesota abortion such a
person must make an unconditional
surrender, because he is required to
support the party in one election
BEFORE he IS allowed to participate in
its doings. The heading of Wesen-
berg's article was not consistent with
it's contents. He labelled it s'Party or
Country, which," He should have
headed 1t my Party Is Nearly AL
ways Right.''
Wesenberg names the homestead law
as measure that was passed without
its advocacy by any party. It may
be news to him that in 1848 the Free
Soil party received 1903 votes onsa
platform demanding "the free grant e.
actual settlers of reasonable portionii
of the public lands" The same ps
reiterated it's platform in 1858. The
republican party was an offspring of
the Free Soil party. In the platform
on which Abraham Lincoln was elected
we find this rebuke to the opponents of
the homestead law: "We protest
against any view of the homestead pol
icy which regards the settlers as pau
pers or suppliants for public bounty"
This reform, then, had been advocated
by party for period covering at
least four national campaigns. But
the slavery agitation was so promi-
ncnt that many persons who have only
q limited knowledge of American his
tory imagine it was the only question
iscussed during that period. Wes-
enberg will have to guess again.
