that the ability and responsibility ex-
pected from the heads Of the executive
departments, are new too literally paid

certainly demoralizing in its influence

Who is the Owner of Stored Wheat? ?

In our last issue our Hastings correspon-
dent mentioned the fact that parties who
had stored wheat at the Castle Rock eleva-
tor. finding that they could do better with
their wheat, presented their receipts and
demanded the wheat, but were informed
that they could not get it. The correspon-
dent desired to know what the law in the
case is. We regret to be compelled to an
swer that the law is on the side of the ele-
vator. In the case of Rahilly against
Wilson, decided a few days ago by U. S..
Circuit for the Sth Judicial District, opin-
ion by Judge Dillon, it was held that when
grain is stored in warehouse and a re-
ceipt taken, the title to the wheat passes to
the warehouseman that he does not sim
ply become bailor for the storer, but that
he becomes the actual owner of the wheat
This is a matter Of very great importance
to every one who stores his wheat to hold
till spring, and now that the Legislature is
in session it would be we'll for our law
makers to consider whether the law in this
respect should not be changed.

Senator's and Representatives from
GOOdhue County.

Goodhue County seems to be we'll repre-
sented in the present Legislature. General
Hubbard, the Senator from the Sixteenth
District, has had large experience in the
great work Of legislation, and his past
record is a sufficient guaranty for the
future.
The Hon. J. W. Peterson, Senator from the
Seventeenth District, has not had the adyant-
age Of General Hubbard's experience, this
being the second session in which he has
served, but he will undoubtedly work faith
fully for the interests of his constituency
and the State at large. Mr.. Peterson has
been resident Of this County since 1865,
and should be familiar with the wants of
the farmers here and elsewhere.
Mr.. G.. R: White is q lawyer from Pine
Island of fair abilities; an old resident ::
has been postmaster of that village, and
will do the White thing fo- his constituency

John F. Daniels, of Martin Co. making a
total in both Houses of 40, or five in the
Senate, ahd 35 in the House. This is a
pretty good sprinkling for the first year.
\ majority Of these, both in the Senate and
in the House, acted with the opposition or
anti-monopoly party. In conversing with
them on political matters, / find that those
who act with the anti-monopolists do so
from the conviction that the Republican par
ty having been so long in power has been
used by the monopolists to further their
ends. that they have used their money and
influence to control elections, that in this
way they have placed in power corrupt and
plant Judges, unscrupulous and purchas-
able Congressman: and that in order to
reach the monopolists. it is absolutely
necessary to overthrow the political party
through which they have operated to ag-
grandizc themselves and to crush down the
people: They also argue that the opposi-
ton party not being in power, and there
fore unable to bestow favors, has not been
tampered with by these monopolists, and
is not under their control. Those who act
with the Republican party say that it is
better to bear the ills we have than to fly to
those we know not of, that we have tested
the Republican party and know what it is,
and what it has done for the country, but
we don't know what new party would do,
as it might fall into the hands of unscru-
puious men, and therefore they propose to
work with it for the present.
believe, however. that these men will
as a rule work and vote for or against
measures, according to their merits, ire
spective Of their political origin. That
there may be among these men some cring-
ing. servile. soft headed tool, who will take
all his convictions from the party whip,
and s'oop like lick spittle to do the bid
ding Of his masters, is not impossible, but
l think we shall be disgraced by very few
indeed of such men.

A Man-of- Wars Cutter Run d.

The London Times of the Goth of
November contains the following ac-
count of the terrible accident by which
twenty-seven of the crew Aurora were
drowned: .'Last night a cutter, on
board of which were number of man Of
wars men, was run down off Greenock.
Soon after 6 o'clock the boat which be-
longed to Her Majesty's ship Aurora,
put off from Princes Pier, and was
pulled out In the direction of the war
ship, anchored about mile off. When
about half the distance had been accom-
pllshed the Dublin steamer Duke of Lein-
ster was seen bearing down upon her
The men in the cutter hoisted a lamp,
which was observed by the watch on
board the steamer, and the orders,
Stop herr and full speed astern =
were successfully given. These orders
seemed to be instantly obeyed, but
with the speed on at the time it was I'M
possible to bring the vessel to stand.
A lamentable collision ensued, the small
boat being completely cut in two, and
seventeen men were drowned. The
fore part OF the boat drifted to one side
of the steamer, and the stern portion to
the other. - DE- oi. go 9
