SOME of our State exchanges mention the
name of Worthy Master Parsons as being
made up of "the right kind of timber" to
represent efficiently and satisfactorily ag-
ricultural interests in Congress. Should
this sentiment become general throughout
his district, what the farmers will, they
can execute. Our theory is, take new
man fresh from the ranks; if need be-,
"hay seed in his hair" and the odor Of
the barn yard about his boots. The
GRANGE ADVANCE waits impatiently for a
good and true man, unstained with the
taint Of old party associations to spring up
spontaneously from the soil, and it will go
for him heart and soul. If the farmers in
the State, would, as they have done else
where, determine to control these congress
sional elections they have the power and
could readily do it.

THE St. Paul Dispatch has trotted out a
congressional candidate Of its own in the
person Of Mr.. Burbank, and evidently
feels that it has made fortunate hit. The
candidate is not only one of natures noble
men, but is natural born congressman /;
signed, sealed, and ready for delivery,
with untold virtues and talents rarely
equaled, and what the Dispatch states on
evidence is no longer within the reach o.
discussion. The only evidence OF trick
cry on the part of the Dispatch is, that it
fails to inform its candidate that Avert II
and Dunuell have gnawed most of the
meat from the congressional bone, and
that there is dry sucking them now in
comparison to the good old days of back
pay grabbing. Still, if the Dispatch
bankers after the bone, such as it is, the
door is open to so in, sink or swim.

The st. Paul Pioneer has come out
a strictly independent newspaper, with
"The State" for its platform, and the Peo-
pie" for its party. 1t says:
'While the Pioneer accepts the edict Of
the Democratic Press, which thus reads it
out of the party, its editor with equal alac-
rity reads himself out of the Republican
party, with which he has heretofore been
accustomed to affiliate. He will hold him.

tions, and its caucuses. He will have no

If the Hon. j. A. Thacher would con-

farther and far more worse than to select
him as their candidate for the Second Con-
gressional District.-GRAScE ADVANCE.
Mr.. Thacher is one Of the hide-bound
Ramsey, men, who, while very clever
gentleman, would be as subservient tool
Of the ring now in power in this State as
they desire. Goodhue county has much
better and more popular gentleman than
Mr.. Thacher, who has Congressional as
pira:ions, though they have not been an
nounced by any paper. We refer to Hon.
Martin S. Chandler, Sheriff of Goodhue
county, and almost the only Republican
in the District who could be elected. He
is practical farmer, grain dealer and
friend of the people, and WREN the Re-
publican Convention in that county is
held it will in all probability instruct for
Mart Chandler.-[ St. Paul Dispatch.
The Dispatch has started Congressional
Iabratory, and is ready to fill all orders on
short notice. Ten per cent. off for cash

The GRANGE ADVANCE had no authority
to use publically the name Of the Hon
J. A. Thacher, in connection with the
Congressional question, but did so OH the
principle that the Office should seek the
man. not the man the Office. All the Dis
patch can say derogatory to the independ-
ence of Mr.. Thachcr, viii not change the
good opinion of all who know him as
firm, straightforward, upright gentleman,
and farmer. No doubt all that is good o1
Mr. Thacher, will apply with equal truth
to Mr.. Chandler. Goodhue county is rich

[Winona Daily Republican, 10th.

"TLe Grand Master has no hesitancy in
expressing his opinion OF Mr.. Ignatius Dom
nelly's course among the Changers, and it
is needless to add that said opinion is any
thing but complimentary. Having an in
vitation to Granger picnic at North6eld
on the 18th inst, Mr.. Parsons declined to
attend until assured that Mr.. Donnelly had
not been invited and was not expected to
be present."
Why the Republican feels authorized to
make such an assertion we have no means
of knowing. Mr. Parsons may, in common
with many other Changers, disapprove OF
some of the features of Mr.. Donnelly's
course, but that the Worthy Master of the
State Grange should convert difference OF
opinion into u cause for personal hostility,
so far as to refuse to be present at social
picnic where Mr.. Donnelly shared the fes-
tivities and discussions, we will be very
slow and reluctant to believe. We feel
we'll assured that Mr.. Parsons would never
court the unenviable notoriety of publish
ish his personal enmities against any men,
Der of the order. If Mr.. Donnelly has
committed, or does commit, an offence
against the order, lie can be reached with
out resorting to newspaper clamor.
Beside, picnic, where the heart should
be light and the feelings cheerful, is the
last place where polite gentleman would
carry his personal animosities to throw
shadow Of dampness over the pleasures of
day set apart for rejoicing and testivity.
There is no probability that Mr.. Parsons
disapproval to Mr.. Donnelly's course has
degenerated into personal hatred, much
less that he should solicit the public press
to give publicity to his malignant feelings.
Nor do we believe he would be so unman-
nerly as to dictate terms of acceptance to
any fraternal friends, who should invite him
to Join them in social holiday.
This unkind article in the Winona Re-
publican is the first instance where we
have seen the name Of the Worthy Master
dragged into the wrangling pool of con-
tending factions, and this shows at what
shadows politicians will clutch where they
see the least hope or chance Of disrupting
the unity of the order.
AS we understand it, the disapproval Of
Mr.. Donnelly's course is not so much of
what he has done or is doing to remove
the plague spots from the government, but
the erratic method or manner he adopted in
pretentiously assuming the leadership,
with the right and power to dictate the
course of action to all the Oranges in the
State. We believe Mr.. Donnelly is con-
demned more for his presumption and
folly than for actual crime against the order.

The Mill River Inquest Interesting
Testimony.

NORTHAMPTON, May 26.
The inquest was resumed this morning.
Isaac Stone, clerk of the Williamsburg
Reservoir Company, testified that w. X.
Halliday had charge of the building of the
new Goshen reservoir, and the repair of
the old one. No person had beeniin charge
of the Williamsburg reservoir, except the
gatekeeper, for two years Gov. Hayden
was OF opinion that the reservoir needed
riprapplng for protection against waves but
not for weakness. J. Basset, contractor,
with Il. b. Wells, for building the reser-
voir testified relative to building it. He
read the specifications under which the
work was done. The main points of these
specifications have been printed. No coz
tract ever was signed, although one was
drawn up, but the contractors refused to
sign it because Of Objectionable parties
VIM T, Clement, one of the directors OF
the reservoir company, testified to the fact
that several plans for the dam were sub
mIttcd, and the adoption of that of Mr.
Fem in the building of the DAM But ont
complaint of the foundation was made, bu
that was not where the break occurred
and he believed all the foundations wa
well done. He testified there was SOM
hesitation about accepting the dam, not OF
account of work, but because of disagree
ment as to terms. There never was an.
agreement that the contractors might de
part from the specifications about the mail
dam, but such permission was given wit
regard to the stone used in the cross wal
for the outlet pipe Water oozed out a
the lower part of the dam from the time
was first filled at two points, near the vast
.way and one large stream on the east SIDE
partially from the natural slope and pal
TALLY from the embankment; knew ther
were springs under the embankment, an
no pains were taken at the building to d
veit them. Gov. Hayden, within 81
months of his death, expressed himse
satisfied with the dam to the witness.

yesterday, ana attempted another. still
more novel The freight depot was the
scene of the officials maneuvres, and much
amusement was created among the CLERKS
there at the expense Of the deputy. 1t APP
pears that Mr. George Hart left Il key of
maple syrup at the depot, saying that Mr..
Frederick Chaifee would call and mark it
for shipment its destination, we under
stand, was Mobile, Alabama. Some time
after Nj. Hart left, in cometh Deputy
Perkins, and in going the rounds of the
depot. spiod this key. Its shape and size
attracted his attention, and he asked what
was in it? sit looks rs if there might be
,cAiSkey in it, was the answer. AS it was
not marked nor labeled, its contents could
not be correctly tested to the satisfaction
of the official, and it was therefore seized
by him and taken away. Another key was
standing by which, despite the evident odOr
of vinegar arising from it, aroused the sus-
PIGEONS OF the officer, who, after n thorough

by him. To this Imaginable order no at
tention was paid, as it was thought too bad
that its owner should wait for his pickles
that being its contents and they were ac-
cordingly delivered to their proper owner.
About half an hour after the maple syr-
up had been seized, an assistant, named
Morris, appeared ut the door of the express
office, rolled into the depot a key with the
heel of his boot, and departed making ne
sign This was the identical key of maple
sweetness, which had been brought bacl; t,
the wrong place. The express agent saN
it there at noon, but on returning from
dinner it was missing. Meeting deput,
Perkins in the afternoon we asked hin
where the keg was, and on his learning tin
blunder of his competent assistant, he sug
gested that the boy lacked the requisit
brains TO do anything right, and knowinl
that he must be good judge of the abil
tiles of the boy by this time, we acquiesccd
1t looks now as if the official was re
sponsible for the syrup, as it has not bee
found.
