causes of general depression persadrng
the industrial interests Of the country
at this time. is the want Of cheaper
means Of transportation to the sea-
board. and
WHEREAS, This result can only be OBJ
tanned by competition. secured by the
opening of water channels between the
Mississippi and the ocean by way Of
our lakes and rivers, therefore
Resolrrd, That We cordially endorse
the report of the select committee on
transportation submitted to the Senate
during the first session Of the Forty
third Congress, and that We earnestly
urge our Senators and Representatives
in Congress to use all honorable means
to secure the passage of such laws and
provisions turing the present session a
may be necessary to carry cut the en-
tire plan recommended by that COM
mitsee.
Resolved, That the present State
law for the regulation of railroads Is
expensive and useless to the people, and
vexatious to the roads, and we demand
its repeal, and in the name Of 10000
voters, we demand the passage of a
law that shall guarantee cheap trans
portafion for the productions Of the
farm, especially wheat
Resolpsd, That sch q law should
protect the exports OF the State from
high charges, a. the charges upon these
| come mainly upon the farmers, while
the burden Of high charges on our i'm
ports is shared BY all classes Of the peo-
pie.
| RsscIred, That we propose to exer-
else our right of suffrage in defense Of
| our own interests, and We promise to
act unitedly at the ballot box against
those who prove themselves hostile on

politics should not be discussed in the
work of the order, we hold that each
grange has right, and that it is its
duty, to discuss and understand all the
great economic questions of taxation,
which underlie our prosperity as peo-
pie, and that we propose to exercise
that right regardless Of its effects upon
political parties or politicians.
RESOLVED, That Minnesota's true
outlet for her production to eastern
markets is via Lake Superior, and we
call upon the Legislature Of the State
at its coming session, to make an appro-
priation for survey Of the watershed
between the St. Groix and Lake Supe-
rior to ascertain the best route and the
lowest cost of canal between them.
Rssolred, Tint we especially endorse
the project of opening the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers, thereby giving the
Northwest an opening by water to the
lakes. We bid the memoria, now being
circulated on this subject for presenta-
ton to Congress our hearty God speed,
aad commend it to the careful consider.
alton Of our representatives in Wash
ington and to the nation at large, as
representing the desire of the entire
farming interests Of the Northwest, for
the cheaper means of transit to the sea-
board.
Resolred. That the Secretary of the
State Grange be instructed to request
Senator Window, to whom is contided
the presentation of this memorial to the
United States Senate, to also present
with it the above resolutions Of the
State Grange Of Minnesota, represent

An IOWA Man Claims - Have Shak
en- Hands and Converted with q
veritable Fleshy Ghost.

February lst, 1879. Eli T. Coffin was
murdered, and his body hung under .
bridge, five miles from Atlantic City,
Iowa. His wife had previously died.
as was supposed, from exposure and
starvation. Coffin was worth several
thousand dollars, bit misery in dispo-
sition. The circumstances Of his death
led people to believe that brothcr-in-
law, who came from Chicago to assist
in prosecuting Coffin, assisted by in
censed citizens Of that locality. were the
perpetrators of the murder. On the.
evening Of Dec. Is, at 10 o'clock, Mr.
Wright, Of Lewis, was alone in his store
and was about to close his store when
man entered and sat down by the stove.
When approached by Nh. Wright, he
rose and said: GLOW are you. Mr..
" right Z" at the same time offering
his hand, which Mr.. Wright took, and
recognized his visitor as Eli T. Coffin
The mysterious visitor then took .
chair, and held conversation with
Mr.. Wright, during which he stated
that he was murdered by stranger,
and gave the names Of D. K. Carter,
the DeBusk boys, and Jessie Smith, as
having been present at the time Of the
murder. After some conversation con-
corning Collins financial matters and
his wishes concerning them, Mr.. Wright
heard some one outside, and, wishing
some one else to hear the apparition,
| went to the door to call them in, when
! the ghost suddenly disappeared. Mr..
Wright is well known in this county,
| and is not believer in Spiritualism, or
