DEMOCRATS WITHOUT HOPE.

clincd to send delegates to the national
Democratic convention instructed for
Hearst, the New York Journal editor,
There are grave apprehensions that he

party itself mistrusts him. Prominent

themselves as in favor of German. They
are as pronounced against Cleveland as
they are against Hearst. Ihis leads 70
the conclusion that that party, locally

The Democratic primaries last night
were not bit natural; they were too
tame, even to be classified with the old

thunders rolled and the lightning was

may be the rank and file did not relish
the idea Of having Uhings slated for

DEMOCRATIC TOMMYROT.

The rot being published by the DEM
ocratic papers since the convention
and uttered by Democrats themselves,
is little short Of idiotio. The party
seems to realize that 1t is ridiculous
in the eyes of all people, and Is max
ing q desperate effort to keep stiff
upper lip. The free silverites, seeing
how they have been deceived, are
trying to smile and say "the financial
question is no longer an issue.
II it is not, why are the Democrats
so fulsome in their commendation Of
Judge Parker for his belated express
sion on the subject? II 1t is no issue
it IL of no significance. so why did il
matter what Judge Parker's views
were?
And by what possible evolution of
logic do the party leaders arrive ct the
conclusion that because of this same
belated Telegram" business men and
bankers generally praised the stand
taken by the nominee and his un-
douhsed courage in the emergency pre-
septed, ITO quote = dispatch pub

Why should any praise be due Judge
Parker for apprisinR the Democratic

question after he had been nominated,

advantage of the men who gave him

Abost I,oa,te Cool.

Forum of Feb. s: Colonel Peake of
Valley City. president Of the Consolidat-
c mines. is in the city today selling coal
IN carload lots to local people. The
colonel says there is no excuse for Fargo
suffering from a Ignite famine and his
company is prepared to fill all orders on
short notice. He represents mines at LIE.
high and at New Salem and the daily
capacity Of the two is 800 tons.
AT present he can lay coal down in
Fargo at g and steam coal at slightly
less price. If the railroad commission.
ers are successful in securing the en-
torcement "fthe e rate bill, the freight
will be reduced from Lehigh to Fargo
from Sl.7+ to St.2o which will make the
coal 50 cents cheaper to local consumers.
If the steam trade could be worked up
to a bigger business so the mines could
be operated all the year the present
prices could be reduced 10 to IS cents.
"The Ignite people west Of Fargo" said
the colonel, care getting abused unjustly
by the state press. Last year when the
coal famine existed our mines and those
of the Washburn people did not take
advantage of the unfortunate conditions
and boost the price of Ignite as we might
have done. We continued to sell at the
low price of sI.25 at the mines and made
it possible for the people to get fuel at
reasonable rates.
"This winter we are receiving no credit
for our position. We could just as we'll
have boosted the price and made a lot of
money, but we wanted to treat our pat
rons right and hold the trade. So far
we are not receiving the recognition to
which We are entitled. Just because the
Ignite miners in the northwestern part
OF the state advanced prices, there is no
reason why we should be blamed and all
kinds of abuse heaped upon US.
ave are not asking for sympathy, but
we feel that the state press should give
us a square DEAL"
