PLAYING SNOTTY,

We cannot imagine what Stan Donnel-
ly wants of our exchanges He edits
no paper He is gold bug Democrat,
and some of those papers are hot stuff.
He has tried to get our postmaster 10
send them to him in st. Paul This the
postmaster declined to do until he had
paid the freight. 1t must be that he
has concluded that he needs political
salvation.
1t can't be that Stan thinks the mere
matter of our losing few exchanges
would force the Representative to sus-
pend. We will give him all the ex-
changes he can read if he will call at our
Office for them. To try and sneak them
from our postmaster is what we school
boys used to call playing snotty"
We admired Ignatius because, among
other good traits of character, he always
seemed to us to be manly man.

ENTITLED TO A HEARING.

An eloquent appeal and one worthy Of
respectful consideration 10 that addressed
to the Legislature by the soldiers home in
the form Of a memorial requesting tho re-
peal Of the law withholding from veterans
resident al the home all pension money re-
ceived in excess Of four dollars a month.
The memorial sets forth the fact that the
men at the home draw pensions ranging
from $6 to s24 month. The United States
government contributes to the support Of
the home 500 a year for each inmate, less
one-half the sum reserved by the state
from his pension Thus for every dollar
taken from the pensioners the federal gov
ernment withholds a half dollar but it
would give full dollar were none of the
pension money taken
Now, the inmates Of the soldiers home
are without other means Of support that
Is condition precedent to admission The
sole fortune of each one Of them is his
pension. II the federal government pays
him $12 month and eight Is taken the
tax Is heavy one, but II he receives
$24 and $50 must 60 to the state the close
approach to confiscation is apparent. Yet
this tax must be paid under penalty Of dis
honorable discharge from the home in case
OF refusal. 1t is Mnnesotas proud record
that one-seventh of the total population en-
ltsted-without hope Of bounty-in the union
army during the civil war population
Of $4,000 contributed $4,000 soldiers In
one township In Hennepin county there
wore iuoTe lstmente tnan there were
names on the polling lists. In one the draft
called for quota of six men and there
were only two At and subject to military
duty.
Minnesota owes much to it's civil war
veterans and II the present tax on pensions
for the support Of the home In ineouitable.
as It certainly appears in some respects to
BE- the law should be amended in the
interests OF fair and just taxation. Whi>
some reservation of pension money may he
necessary. 1t should be fairly scaled and
with due allowance for the sum contributed
oy the general recommendation Times
Inc appeal OF these old soldiers Is not
an appeal to party. 1t is an appeal to
the great body Of American people.
THESE old veterans did not ffxht for any
one political party. They fought for
their country, and now the country
should fight for them. They are enti-
tied to what their country has given to
them in the form of pensions, and we
believe no state nor political party has
any right to take toll out Of these pen
sions as a condition precedent to the
full enjoyment Of the State Soldiers
home or any other bounty intended by
the people as a gift to the defenders of
the nation.
In this instance the act complained Of
does not stop at taking toll; it takes
the whole grist. and leaves to the worthy
old soldier little besides tho hul,s and
chaff.

Those Farm ORGANIZATIONS.

Editor Representative:
lived l never saw an equal for gall and
impudence to the modern Gulliver, who
signed his article j. G. Hanley, in the
last issue of The Representative. But it
the world to prove how many fools there
are.
Well, the first we ever heard of Hanley
he wrote in The Representative that he
had the grip on the governor, and all
who would send Hanley 81 would be put
on his list and get an Office when their
turn came. 1t was an astonishing fact
that he got lots of money in that way
dinger between the fusionists and Demo-
cratic party-till he went away The
people say Jim Hill helped him to go to
Europe.
The next we see is his Lilliputian ga
lore in this paper. Now, Judge Moran
sent a letter to DR.. H. B. Fay from
Graceville after election, that read:
Dear Doctor: l have left the Peoples
party and gone over to the Socialists,
and have burned the bridge after me-"
Yet this monstrous humbugger Hanley,
says he went to see Mckinley to demand
that he appoint Hanley commissioner
of agriculture.
If any reader has failed to get The
Representative of Feb. %, showing up
this humbug, send for it. Read and
think, then put your dollars to better use
than helping out the champion gall Dub-
Bile on earth. Grain growers, We gods.
A clumpy Irshman in one of the wards
of the city of st. Paul! He never sowed
a grain, never cut a grain, never owned
a grain; hardly knows wheat from rye
To run the grain growers of all Gods
earth! Let every fool send his dollar!
We expect the next issue will contain
proclamation to the world that St. Pat
rick has sent up the keys to the kingdom
of heaven, and S. to Hanley to get ad-
mittance. NJ R. PARKS

WILL MAKE 'EM HUMP,

We suppose Stan DOnnelly will soon
start the ponderous machinery of the law
to collecting subscriptions, delinquent
and due the Representative prior to
March 1, 1901. Many subscribers are
owing the paper amounts too small to be
worth the asking. 1t has been the GUS
tom of the late Ignatius Donnelly and
myself. since I assumed the business
management of the paper. to let these
little accounts run till In the fall, after
harvest. 1t is usually easier for our sub
scribers to pay them then than in mid
winter and we looked to the convenience
of our subscribers and desired to retain
them as our friends. Ignatius Donnelly
was the friend of the poor man. He op-
pressed no one intentionally.
He would scorn to sue man on a lit
tie one-dollar subscription account to
make subscriber perhaps SIS costs. Our
delinquent subscribers are no longer
dealing with Ignatius Donnelly. 1t is
the ''tother fellow" Most of our SUBJ
scribers will probably promptly pay the
collector. They should not forget their
friend who is still sending the paper to
them weekly when they are being pushed
by collector.

tive. You want it and you want our

A FARMERS CONVENTION.

Mr.. c. H. Hopkins suggests that a,
farmers or grain growers convention be
called early as possible, and we should
like general expression from farmers
as to their wishes in the matter. Mr..
Hopkins favored the convention being
called for this month, but tried to get
special railroad rates, and was told the
railroad association required 80 days
notice before giving special rates. In
April and May farmers are busy seeding.
The last of June is the time such con-
ventions have usually been called, and
this year special rates are already as
sured for persons wishing to attend the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo or
the convention of the Union Reform,
league at Detroit, June % to July 4.

Strange what extravagant claims some
people will make. Stan DOnnelly is
claiming at the Minneapolis pOstoffice
to be THE Representative" the whole
thing, and entitled to receive all mail
addressed to "The Representative" Our
subscribers have caught on" and are
addressing all their letters to E. A..
Twitchell.
In point Of extravaganza this claim
of Stan's is almost equal to the claim of
]. c. Hanley, as to his seven mammoth
national and international farmers or
ganizations, all standing for the ship
subsidy steal and our Republican SEN
ators. These claims are two of kind.
They should be shaken up in the same
box and it would make little difference
