UNITED STATES SEAAIORsnIP,
Nofe. ama Com nfents: Or thC. Staes
Papers.

The St. Cloud Journal does not
share the apprehension of the S.. Paul
postmaster relative to Democrat being
elected to the Senate If thefesult IS de :
termined in open legislature instesd Of
caucus.
One thing is certain, there are. q
great many Republicans-as trse,
loyal and long-serving Republicans rs
the, editor of the PyesS-who are OPP
posed to Legislative CAUCUS tor the
election Of United States Senator
They know what that caucus means.
It means an upstairs parlcr. reached
through winding and devious ways,
where a big fat spider SITS waiting to
take in the little Legislative tiies. 1t
means the use of the same means which
in two previous caususses, secured the
nomination of the present incumbent
by a majority of one vote. The people
are tired Of this style, of dark-lantern
management, and are, not sufficiently
impressed with the desirability Of long
third termsror with the indispensable
Importance Of any individuals services
to be willingto perpetuate It. They
demand that their Senator'S aDd Repre-
sentatives shall come out in open Leg
islature and vote for United States
Senator, that they may know whether
the men whom. they have chosen hon
estly represent their wishes. They do
not propose to give them the edict Of
secret party caucus to shield them
selves behind. Let the election be
open and above board. Let it be done
in the clear daylight. and let every
man 60 on the record on his indiv1dual
responsibility.
THE Chaska Valley Herald has un-
dertaken as difficult task asa search
for the sLost Arts" 1t wants to find
the s'principles Of Republicanism' and
says:
When one. third Of the members Of
the Legislature elect Senator or make
laws, where are the principles Of Be
publicanism except as manifested in
the party which has assumed tho name
Of Republican. Instead Of allowing
the majority to decide those matters
King Caucus says; majority of my
party will do-it.
The Fergus Falls Journal says
Messrs. Page and Nelson from the
northern part of the State are Repnbli-
cans. but they were elected in the face
of ''the determined opposition OF the
party machinery. and that of Senator
Ramsey's appointees scattered through
out this upper country, and the Saint
Paul Press particularly" The Journal
thinks it safe to say that they will
not be decoyed into a Ramsey caucus
and declares further that ''there are
enough just such men elected to
the next Legislature to hold the bal
ance of power

From the New York SUM-
The Washington Capital makes the
following allegations respecting Presi-

from appearAnces, he would not be- troubled

he has been extremely careless Of his heal tn
This means in plain language, that
the President was eonspicuously dr. nnk
at the theatre, and has Of late been
frequently seen in that condition. and
we dare say it is true. But the idea
that his health is undermined by such
practices is great mistake. He is :

durance, and although he is in. danger

to resign from the army iIA California
in 1854, there IS no probability that his

THE CANAL TO LAKE SUPERIOR.
The Saltwater Msssenger lRepubli-
CAM has the following excellent edito-
rial IN its last issue
The editor of the Farzssys' Union OF Min
neapolis. with commentaries zeal but little
discretion, is sending me1uoElals to every
postotfice in Minnesota, solicimg signatures,
petitioning Congress to aid IN the improve
ment Of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers,

But there are better routes, nearer nome,

Several surveyors of tins city have seen
over the proposed route and their testimony
is that a canal can be constructed at sem-

acith the Foe and Wisconsin, route.
A saving of milliens Of dollars to Mime
sofa in decreasing the cost of transporting
wheat will not be the only benefit to be de-
rived by this State by the successful
consummation of this project. Freights
coming to this State will be pro-
portionally reduced Manufactures, which
Minnesota needs as much as almost any
tning else, will be built up in cons sequence
Iron ore can be brought over this canal at q
very triaing cost. Coal suitable for smelt-
ing or for use in rolling mills, can be laid
down in this city for four dollars per ton,
and even less when large quantities
are ordered Iron can then be manu-
factured in Minnesota as cheap as in Penn
svluanio or Missouri. With the introduction
of iron manufactures, other manufacturing
enterprises will follow, and instead Of our
people paying tribute to other States for
Manufactured goods, it will be found that
States east and south Of Minnesota, and Ter
ritories west OF us, will send to us for articles
now exclusively manufactured in the East
ern States
Though Saltwater will be greatly benef +
ted by the opening of the proposed route
the benefit will be universal throughout the
State. Every bushel of wheat raised in
Minnesota can pass over this route at small
er cost, than by any other route that can be
named The manufacturing interests OF
every town and city in the State will share
alike in the benefits

THE MclLRATA CASE.
Judge Hall Renders His Decisian -
the Demurrer to. the Iadictmen&

Our readers will recollect that num-
Der Of demurrcrs to the indictments
found bv the last Grand Jury against
Mr.. McIlrath, ex-State Auditor, were
iuterposed by that gentleman's counsel.
On these demurrcr's Judge Hall yester-
day afternoon fled his decision.
The demurrers to the indictments for
a violation Of the statutes in granting
permits for the cutting Of pine on the
pine schoo ands of the State were all
overruled.
The demurrer to the indictment for
entering upon the duties Of State Audi
tor and not giving bends, Gc., Was sus-
tanned.
There were two indictments for en-
tering upon the duties Of State Auditor
without giHng brrd. The demurrer
to this was that the indictments were
not flied in court within three years
after the commission Of the alleged Of
Tense In reference to these indictments
the Judge quotes from various authori-
ties bearing on the subject, that md1ct
ments Ter murder may be found It any
time after the death Of the person killed
and in eli other cases Indictment should
| be found and fled in the probate court
within three years after the comm's
sion Of the offense. Therefore, under
the rrovisions Of the statute. in connec'
ton with these views the prosecution L
barred as 70 those indictments.

XExE SALUTARY EFFECTS OF
THE LATE ELECTION.

These are shown in the remarks Of
the Rev. F. X. Roberts, of Minneapolis.
who the other day delivered what the
AidH calls "a financial sermon We
quote
The idea of public corruption was here
ampIfied, the speaker saying that ne be-
lieVed the time had come to administer a
stern rebuke to salary grabs, credit mobil-
iers, &c, &c, at the polls.
Well done! But why didn't he talk
that way before the election! Why
wait until the polls are closed before he
advises the people to administer "a
stern rebuke at the polls. Is it the
province of the Church to wait until
reforms are effected and then join in
the hurrahs?
But even for this little we are thank
full. Yet, in Minneapolis, business ana
religion, Christianity and sawdust,
Jerusalem and Bangor, are SO mixed
up together in incxtricable confusion,
that it seems not inappropriate to dis
cuss the questions of legal tenders and
metallic currency in the church Of
God.
The Rev. Roberts says:
One of the chiet abuses OF credit was bor-
rowing money.
This is worthy of being recorded
among the maxims of Adam Smith; for
it is evident there would be no borrow
ing of money if there was no credit
and it is also probable that there could
be no credit if there was no borrowing
He then described the man who makes
false show Of wealth" thus:
He gets desperate, makes ambiguous state
nentS, contracts with ioop-Aoles IN them
arrangements with secret avenues OF escape
he will cheat the widow Of her mites, the
orphan girl OF her patrimony, and when the
crisis comes he conveys It fraudulently Il
another, and exemplties the dishonesty
which The system forces upon him. We
are yilainously infested with legal rats, wht
commit fragrant dishonesty under the cove
OF law
Now who does the reverend gentle
man refer to in this parable! Wht
are the illegal rats who have eater
holes in the poor mans cheese, AM
broken into the rich mans granary
And who are the wealthy fellows win
ssbust up and cheat the widow ant
the orphan girl : Come, give us thei
sanity names.
And then another reverend gentle
man, on the same day in the same city
the Rev. W. Stimson, said:

81 have the pleasure of informing you
that a repeal of the obnoxious Tender act
has passed the House and Senate. The
Governor, as has been heartofore predicted
when anything not quite popular is agitated
has the gout, and is confined to his bed.
A false weight and false balance are an
abomination, and in that light this Tender
act must be viewed by every impartial
person. Who but an idiot would believe that
forty were equal to seventy-fye? But
the repeal gives us reason to hope that
Justice and righteousness will again exalt
our nation, that public faith will be re-
stored that individuals will lend the pub
lie and that heavy taxes, which are now
the distress of all orders, will be lessened. "

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
psmocratic-Liberal Platform.

The following is the official text Of the
platform adopted by the Illinois Demo
cratic Liberal State Convention, August
26, 1874:
First. The restoration of gold and silver as the
basis of the currency; the resumption OF specie pay
ments as soon possible without disaster t. the
business interests Of the country, by steadily oppos
ng imitation, and by the payment OF the national
Indebtedness in the money OF the civilized world.
Second, Free commerce; no tariff for any pur
pose but FOR revenue.
Third. individual liberty and opposition to sump
tuary laws.
Fourth. The right and duty of the state TO pro
ec its citizens from extortion and unjust discrimi
nation by chartered monopolies.
Fifth Rigid restriction OF the governments, both
state and national TO the legitimate domain of po
ltical power by excluding therefrom all executive
and Legislative intermedding with the affairs OF so.
ciety. whereby monopolies are fosered, privileged
classes aggrandzed and individual freedom nn
NECESSARILY and oppressively restrained.

If gold should Jump up as it did In Eliza
beth's time. through the lowering Of the
standard, it would be as bad as paper. be
cause it would miss the one quality that
people rely upon--permanency of value.
The American currency is not to be trust
ed. II has destroyed its one great func-
tion--that of being a guarantee to the
taker of it that he will get things of equal
value Nothing is more abominable than
going to dealer and being compelled to
ask the relative prices of gold and currency.
It Iii is the same as asking Of a ship, us she
half rotten, or wholly rotten?
q. Is the common dread of contraction
among our people well founded?
A. Not at all. There is great confusion
in the meaning of the word money. Very
little Of the business of these great modern
nations is transacted by money proper
bycurrency. tits mere trife, mere change
The money is not the thing lent by banks
or by lenders. Do you suppose if | want
ed to borrow 100000 of my banker in
London for mercantile operation 1 should
touch one sovereign or bank note? Do you
suppose the trade between England and
the United States is done by currency 2
Do you suppose the grain of the Western
men is paid for in currency? 1t is fatal
fallacy to identify currency--the means of
property-with the property
itself which is exchanged, Trade is an ex-
chage of property. The money is very
necessary as a measure, but 1t is not the
trade.
@. You don't think there is anything to
be said in favor of the usury laws in this
or any other country?
A. Laws limiting interest are not only
bad, but absurd. They are always evaded.
The are mischievous and nonsensical.
Your banks here are limited to per cent.
When the loan of money is really worth
more than per cent, then people don't
90 to the banks, but somewhere else,
You cant get anything for less than it is
worth.
