HARD TIMES.

Up to New Years day the cotton spinn, Il
OF Fall River, Mass, have decided to run O.
half time, and this will inevitably cause
much Distress Exchange.
Why not keep the mills going at re-
duced wages, and ship your cheap goods
to all parts Of the world: and sell them
at the worlds price; and sell them to
US at the same. Why keep up prices
at the expense of human suffering!
calais are food and clothes 50 dear.
And flesh snd blood so cheap,'
See the horrors of the coming winter.
The New York Sun says:
While the skies are yet serene the work.
shop doors are haunted 0by care-worn faces
seeking vainly for work. We are told that
much suffering exists. If it he SO now, be-
fore the leaves have fallen, how are the
working people to go through the winter ?
During the stringency which prevailed after
the panic last year, many were discharged;
but the previous years having been reas0na-
bly, prosperous, their small savings Afforded
support until spring, waen better timer were
hoped ~. But the spring came and went;
the summer has passed; already the hill
sides are blazing with the fires Of autumn,
and the F11kB q the unemployed are fuller
than ever. Their little fund il expended
and their services sfe not in demand. How
are they 70 Evef
Misgovernment - misgovernment.

For once, Commodore
Vanderbilt, Col. Scott and
the Erie people were in
harmony; all agreeing that
the crisis was upon them,
and must be met; and, that
it was better to meet the
enemy at the West, than to
wait until he had advanced
into New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and the Eastern States.
What the plan of the cam
paign is no one but them
selves knows; but if what
we hear whispered is only
half true, it cannot be long
before the order will be
given to move on the enc
my's works"

dance. The qualities which enable
you to make and unmake United States
Senators, are the qualities that will
drag you down before the people. Your
very genius is dead weight upon you.
'sThe spirits you have raised abandon you /;
The spells that you had rocked of torture
you"
And hence you close your head;;"
your matchless effrontery forsakes you;
you stand paralyzed before an indignant
people; and you call upon as to prove
that you are not Bill King but Charles
Sumner; not the magnificent lobbyist
Col. Stevens described, but Christian
missionary.
We can't do it, Bill. Much as we
love you, we can't do it.

LOOK OUT FOR FRAUDS.

Look out for fraudulent votes on the
Northern Pacific Railroad. Heretofore
there have been great frauds practiced
there. We hear of oDe case where a
train packed With workmen was run
the whole length of the road and the
men voted at every station.
We have subscribers all along that
hnc. Write us the names Of any man
or D..en practicing such frauds, and we
Ill devote ourself to their prosecu-
/ ton. Railroads shall not rule this
State, through the commission of crimes,
any longer, if we can prevent it We
now give notice to the rascals that the
penitentiary awaits them.

We think this wrong. Why should a
poor man be taxed to pay the board Of
his rich neighbor! Wherein is decease
of the mind different from dicease of the
body! Is it not disease Of the body !!
And if it be right to support one class
of invalids at public expense, why not
another? Why not open an hospital
for the lame, the sore, the sick and the
scrofulous and make the people sup
port them, even though they or their
families may be richs The whole thing
looked to us like an excuse to fill up
the Asylum, and then call upon us to
build new buildings, off which there
would be new pickings. There is toe
much Of this desire to convert the State
into an eleemosynary institution.

A we'll informed St. Paul gentleman
writes to the Chicago Tribune as fol-
lows:
The Opposition prospects throughout the
State are Improving so fast that leading Re-
publicans are calculating upon SO small a
majority in the Legislature that Ramsey can
not be reelected. Being opposed to Gov.
Davis, or, believing that the railroad inter-
ests' will not consent to his election, they are

THE M,ILRATH INDICTMENTS


The St. Paul Press says that because
the Ramsey County Grand Jury failed
to indict McIlrath for embezzlement
therefore he is innocent. 1t says:
Their failure to find any grounds for such |
an indictment, after thorough sitting Of all
the evidence, is tantamount to a complete
acquittal of McIlrath of the charges Of fraud
and embezzlenent preferred by the Senate
Committee.
Let us look at this. Why did the
Grand Jury not indict him for embez-
zlemente Simply for the reason that
all the moneys received by him were re.
ceived without any color of authority
under the law. He had no legal right
to receive cent. The proceeds of the
sale of pine stumpage, &C., should have
been paid over to the State Treasurer.
If the Grand Jury had indicted him for
having embezzled money received by
him as State Auditor, McIlrath's an
swer would have been. 81 did not re.
ccive it as State Auditor, but as pri-
vate citizen. could not receive it as
State Auditor without a violation 81
law
Hence, the Grand Jury found no in
dictment against him for embezzle.
ment, but they found t-,enty-six in
! Elements against him for malfeasanc'
in Office. They found two Indictment
against him for not filing his oficia
bond. If they had believed him t.
be an honest man. could an.
Grand Jury have been found t. hat woul'
have found an indictment for = mer
harmless omission to perform tecl' mi
cal duty9 And they found twenty -fou,
indictments against him for granting
permits to cut timber without comply
ing with the terms of the law. Would
they have done this if they had not be
lieved that the State had been robbed
Unable to hold McIlrath for the money
Illegally received by him, they proceed
ed to indict him for failure to follow
the strict letter of the statutes.
| The argument of the Press is absurd
that because the Grand Jury found
twenty-six bills of indictment against
, McIlrath for malfeasance in Office that
J therefore they declared him innocent Of
embezzlement. If they had found fifty
indictments, then, according to the
/. ,gic Of the Press, that would have
r. On equivalent to vote Of confidence
III. matchless effrontery to these
49,, surpasses belief.

JEFFERSON'S PLATFORM.
True Theory Of our Government.

We print below Splendld extract
from President Jeffcrson's inaugural
address, of March 4, 1901. 1t is re-
sumo in few lines Of the whole SUBJ
stance and spirit of free institutions.
Every citizen should cut it out and
place it where his children could read
it many times. In this hour
when so many and such great dangers
threaten the nation which Jefferson
helped to found. and whose immortal
Declaration of Independence he penned,
it is like ''the shadow of mighty rock
in a weary land, to draw near his calm,
philosophical mind. He loved his fell
low men and he labored to make all
generations of his race free and happy.
Are we worthy Of the great heritage he
left us!
[From President Jefferson's Inaugural Ad
dress, March 4, 1901:
'sThe essential principles Of our gov
eminent and those which ought to shape
its administration are, equal and exact
Justice to all men of whatever state or
persuasion, religious or political; peace,
commerce and honest friendship with all
nations-entangling alliances with none;
the support of the State governments
in all their rights, as the
most competent administration for
our domestic concerns and the
surest bulwarks against anti-republi-
can tendencies; the preservation of the
general government in it's whole consti-
tutional vigor as the sheet anchor of
our peace at home and safety abroad !;
a jealous care Of the right of election
by the people; mild and safe cor

STATE OF MINNESOTA,
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
St. Paul, Dec. 2, 1871.
Hon. A. J. Edgerton, R. R. Commissioner
DBAR SIR: Referring to yours OF the 3Oth
ult., | have the honor to inform you, that
complaint has been made to this office only
against the Winona and St. Peter Railroad
Company for the violation of the law of last
winter, prescribing a tariff of rates which
Railroad corporations may charge for the
transportation of passengers and freights.
An action has been commenced against that
Company, which is now pending, for the
purpose Of testing the validity of that kind
Of legislation, as well as to determine
Whether there has been any violation on the
part of the Company of that provision OF
its charter requiring it to carry freight and
passengers on reasonable terms. Should the
decision of the Courts be adverse to the Com
pany upon these questions, have no doubt
further legislation or the expense of litiga-
ton, as against other companies, will he
rendered unnecessary.
Respectfully yours, &c,
FIR. E. CORNELL.
Attorney General.
Mark the infinite contempt, THAT
kind of legislation!'' This is the Law
officer of the State.
And then the sheer, SHOULD the de
cision of the Courts be adverse to the
company" To our mind that is a!
much as to say, the Courts will brush
''that kind of Legislation" away like
cobwebs. and no further legislation o.
litigation be necessary.
If he was Judge how would he go TO
