you to make and unmake United States

drag you down before the people. Your

And hence you close your head; -
your matchless effrontery forsakes you;
you stand paralyzed before an indignant

COME OUT AND VOTE.

The laws rest, not upon the will of
the whole people, but upon the will Of
those who come to the polls and vote.
If there arc seven hundred who want re-
form, and three hundred who do not;
and the three hundred vote and the seven
hundred do not, the three hundred will
rule and there will be no reform.
You may talk, and canvass, and
''resolute till the COWS come home )"
but if you do not put your resolutions
into your ballot and the ballot into the
box, you will have no more influence
than if you lived in Kamschatka.
Remember what is at stake: Shall
the unsold wheat crop of 1874, and all
the crops hereafter raised in Mime
sofa, be taxed to enrich the cold-blood-
ed nabobs of Wall street; or will you
pass and enforce such Law as Wis
consin has adopted, by which your pro-
auctions shall be carried, as our own
constitution declares they shall be, sat
equal and reasonable rates
If you refuse to vote, or if you vote
for Republican legislators, you must
take the consequences. There will be-
continued misrule and robbery at the
Capitol continued insolence and extor-
ton on the railroads. On your own
heads be the calamities that will follow.
Remember that men elected BY Re-
publican votes will owe allegiance to
the Republican party; and from such
men you can expect nothing.
See then that you vote, and that
your workmen and your neighbors vote
and vote right.

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. It says:
Their failure to find any grounds for such
an indictment, after thorough sitting of all
the evidence, is tantamount to complete
acquittal of McIlrath of the charges OF fraud
and embezzlement preferred by the Senate
Committee.
Let us look at this. Why did the
Grand Jury not indict him for embez-
zlement9 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 Trersurer.
If the Grand Jury had indicted him for
having embezzled money received by
him as State Auditor, Mcllrath's an
swer would have been. 81 did not re.
ccive it as State Auditor, but as pri-
vate citizen. l could not receive it as
State Auditor without a violation ri
law"
Hence, the Grand Jury found no in.
dictment against him for embezzle.
ment, but they found t-.yenty.six in.
ELEMENTS against him for malfeasance
in Office. They found two indictments
against him for not filing his oficia
bond. If they had believed him tt
be an honest man. could any
Grand Jury have been found t. hat woule
have found an indictment for = mer'
harmless omission to perform a tecl' nj
cal duty 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
therefore they declared him innocent Of
embezzlement. If they had found fifty
indictments, then, according to the
'gic Of the Press, that would have
- en- equivalent to a vote of confidence.

JEFFERSON'S PLATFORM.
True Theory Of our Government.

We print below splendid 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 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 usa
[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

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-

DEAR SIR: Referring to yours of the 3Oth

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 be
rendered unnecessary.

DIR. j. &. HAZIETT.
REPUBLICAN

The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, addressed the citizens of
Austin on Wednesday evening last,
and this is what the ReueiIIe gives of
his speech: "The Chairman then
introduced Hon. j. C. Hazlett. who
proceeded to address a few words to
the audience. The Doctor said that
public speaking had not been one of
the practices of his life; his life had
been taken up with the probabilities;
but he would state to the meeting
the grounds on which he bases his
request for their suffrages. He then
proceeded to detail the financial
affairs of the State, commencing at
period four years ago, when the State
was without money or credit, and
drew a comparison between the then
existing state OF affairs and that ex-
listing at present. He stated that he
at that time was honored with seat
in the State Senate, and was placed
on committee which brought him
in direct contact with the subject of
the finances. He found the State on
the verge of financial ruin, with the
constitutional limit of the debt over
reached. Under the provisions of
the bill introduced by him, bonds
were issued drawing interest at the
rate of ten per cent. per annum; the
money was raised at 8 per cent, and
within one year the State was on a
cash paying basis; and at this time,
through the operations of this law
and the law taxing the net proceeds
of mines, there are in the State Treas
ury 100000 in gold bearing interest
bonds, and $4,000 in coin to meet
the debt created. He stated that on
the first day OF January next there
will be in the General Fund sum
exceeding 100000. He said there
never was people who paid taxes
more cheerfully than the people o.
Nevada; and he conceived it to be-
the duty of all officers to practice
economy and remove the burthen o
taxation. The State is accumulatin,
money faster than is necessary, il
view OF which, he had, at the las
session Of the Legislature, intro
duced bill creating tax commits
sion, which, had it become law
would have this year reduced tn
burthen of taxation by some 5000, 90
