Party. Victor Larson of the Willmar Tribune

DEPEW's Confession.

Day by day as the world wags along
the prediction of populism are full
filed. What the populists said in the
compaigns of 1896 and 1900 are now
declared to be true by so shining a
light of plutocracy and railroad dom
ination as Chauncey Depew. In a re-
cent eulogy of President Mckinley
this distinguished Vanderbilt poten-
tate said:
Though always poor man, Mckinley made
possible the gigantic fortunes which have been
amassed by master minds in the control, use
and distribution Of iron, coal, Oil, cotton and
wood and their products. Though never an
organizer or beneficiary of combinations or
trusts, yet the constant aggregation OF most
industries in vast corporations of fabulous
capital received tremendous acceleration
from his policies
The substance of these remarks
could be duplicated from q thousand
populist speeches. At the time the
populists were making those speeches,
their declarations were denounced as
anarchy by the whole class to which
Mr.. Depew belongs. Having accom-
plished the purpose of piling up the
wealth of the country in a few hands
where it's political power will be used
to still further increase it, we are now
told in eulogy that it was the pur-
pose of the Mckinley administration
10 do that very thing. That is what
the independent said during all those
campaigns. It is somewhat strange
that Depew should make the state.
ment at the present time.--The Ne
braska Independent.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

A party is what its leaders make it.
The mass of the voters in any party
undoubtedly are honest and vote for
what they think is right. But large
majority of them are so bound by
party prejudice that they will take the
sentiments of the leaders for gospel
truth, without inquiring for themselves
as to the ACTUAL facts. For this rea-
son q party tan in short time change
positions entirely, and a thinking ad-
herent of it today may year hence
be forced to leave it if he does not
choose to smother his convictions.
Nothing could be farther from pop
ulism than the democratic party under
Cleveland, because the latter was the
dominating influence in the party,
and his views were Numerically op-
posed to populism. But the hard
times discredited his policy. The pop
u|ist propaganda had affected many
of its leaders; others realized that
Clevelandism was dead and that the
only chance of success was to repudi-
ate it. This gave Bryan the chance
20 dethrone Cleveland and become the
dominating influence in the party.
His views were populistic. His posi-
ton as democratic leader won for the
reform cause all the ''habitual demo-
Gratis" There was chance of elect
ing q man who would use his best en-
deavors and the power of his position
to further many Of the reforms de-
manded by populists. Hence the lat
ter, placing principle above party,
supported Bryan. For this they have
no apologies to make. There was
no intention to ''stuff the populist
party down the democratic throat"
1t was an honest attempt to reach
results. Intact, it seemed unwise for
two forces, trying to reach the same
end, to fight each other.
But the opposition triumphed. Bry-
an, twice defeated, can no longer dom
mate the party. The gold bug element
that fought him openly or secretly
has ben re enforced by the element
that cares more for success of party
than for principles. The minimizing
masses will follow these leaders and,
unless some entirely unforeseen cir
cumstances change the course of
events, Clevelandism will control the
next democratic convention. With
that kind of democracy populism can
not fuse, and We must therefore pre-
pare to 60 it alone, unless we wish to
surrender our principles. 1t would be
foolish to waste the time 'hoping
against hope" 1t would be equally
foolish for the populists to bicker over
past differences. Mid-roaders or fu-
sionists, our principles are the same.
We have differed in the past as to the
best means Of making those principles
effective. Let US now quit quarreling
and organize against the common foe.
1t is not too late. The trend of
events is teaching populism to many
that our arguments could not reach in
the past. Many honest Bryan demo-
Gratis will be looking for new politi-
cal home when the Cleveland German
Hill crowd take possession of their
present abode. Let us be in readiness
to receive all who believe with US that
the government must check the grow
ing power of monopoly.

a home of affluence without the abil-

be master of one useful trade, and
every young woman should be trained

ROCK RIVER PLAYS
THE ROLE OF CUPID

Rockford Register Gazette: An
empty bottle AS Il matrimonial bureau
and the Rock river as the messenger
has formed combination which may
rival Cupid as a source of bringing
Rockford lovers together.
y peculiar story, which sounds
much like a fairy tale, is being told
by the friends of four Rockford
young men. and is said To be exactly
correct. Clarence Dresser. Harry
Marks, Arthur Wingett and promi-
nent young dentist, are said to be the
interested parties in the first chapter
of the story.
About week ago these young men
took a bicycle trip along the banks
of Rock river. When some distance
from the city they found an empty
and dry bottle. SoI;te one suggested
placing n message i'm the receptacle
and letting it float on the water.
The decision was quickly made and
note was written and signed. 1t
said:
ITO the fair maiden, if she be such,
that finds this bottle: You may find
your lifelong companion by answer
following" Then followed the four
names.
The incident was nearly forgotten
when nearly a week later Harry
Marks received reply:
Owing to the wind and bad oars
manship, our party was cast up on
the bank of the Rock river. and there
I found the bottle containing your
note. | would be glad to receive any
answer from you. picked out the
prettiest of the four peculiar names
and hope YOU will reply
There was "A young woman's sigma
ture and a request 10 write to Gen
eral delivery" Rockford, for future
correspondence.
Mr.. Marks declares his intention of
answering the note, and his friends
are wondering if there will be n case
of love from the little note, which
the river acted as Cupid in deliver
ing.

DRESSER GOES TO COURT
TO HOLD HIS SALOON

y case had its preliminary hearing
in Magistrate Johnson's court yester-
day which promises to furnish bust
ness for some time to come to those
engaged in dispensing justice unless
present indications fail. Ii involves
the occupancy of the building off Sec
ond avenue in which j. w. Dresser
now conducts the Belvidere saloon.
The place is the property of the
heirs of the late Fredericka y. Smith
and it has been leased to !. W. Ores
sen, the defendant i'm the suit, for a
number of years, the last lease being
for term of five years and expiring
May / of this year. This spring the
Chicago Brewing company leased the
premises for five years and executed
a suitcase to w. II. Hcaley and j. \.
f. Musfeldt for like term. The fix
lures for the saloon were shipped to
the latter, but when il came to TAX
ing possession Mr.. Dresser refused to
move out, although he had been no
tilted by all the other interested par
ties to do so.
At the hearing yesterday, which
was brought to decide who had the
right to the premises, only the plain
tiffs appeared, and judgment was en-
tered for the possession of the prop
erty by Healey and Musfeldt. Later
5. II. Kenworthy, attorney for Mr..
Dresser, appeared and had the
amount of the bond for an appeal to
the circuit court fixed. The grounds
upon which the defense stands are
not known. but there are evidently

of being called upon to pay heavy
court costs, double rent to the OWL
ers of the building and damages to
