REVIVAL OF THE IRON lNDrsrHIE$.-
There are some indications, we are glad
to say, Of Il turn for the better in the iron
industries OF the west and southwest.
Furnaces which have been out of blast
for months, are now again blowing, though
there is some trouble among them in con-
sequence of the inadequate supply ot the
quality of coal necessary for thrr Use.
The PENNSYLVANIA works in many cases
are running on fill time and with heavy
forces, particularly those engaged in the
manufacture OF rails, sheet iron and agri-
cultural implements. This is Il good
sign. The nail manufactures OF Ohio
also report renewed activity. From other
localities given to the m:,,igaa, vCl, of
specialtics, like Improvement is reportcd.
Labor, since the l"n.s depression, has l,crn

UNJUST.

The Minneapolis EDeni,ag Mail says:
Major Camps attitude Of bravado and men
ace has done more to estrange men from Mr..
Washhurn's support than the action or posi-
ton of any her man. It would have been
better for Major Camp to have supported Loeb
rem from the beginning.
Good bye. Camp If the Democrats can
stand yeu the Republicans can; nut if you
think you can carry the Twenty Dis
trict, you are mistaken.
We will cheerfully receive Major Camp
into the anti-monopoly party if he sees
fit to come to us. He is true, brave,
able man; and if the rest Of the Henne-
pin delegation had acted as he did. Min
neapolis to-day would possess the United
States Senatorship.
If he is to be prescribed for following
his convictions of duty, we hope our
friends will see that he wins ten votes for
every one he loses.

THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES.

There is great reason why the indus
trial classes.-the farmers and working
men,-should, IS far IS possible, retain
in their own hands the control Of public
affairs. This country is governed by the
professional classes.-especially the law
yers and doctors. Each great division OF
society should be represented in matters
of legislation in proportion to their real
numbers; and this rule would give the
farmers a much larger representation than
they now possess. We do not pretend t.
argue that the professional or mercantile
classes should be excluded from places o.
public trust; but that their numbers
should, to some extent, correspond Will
the proportionate number of their clas'
in the community. For instance. out
forty-one members in the State Senate
there are only seven farmers; and evel
of these seven some combine farmln!
with other pursuits. And yet larg
majority Of the people of Minnesota Ar
farmers. and its chief. grea. all-importan
interest is agriculture.

period. A bill to this end has passed both

PEACE, PEACE.

This is the way Wheelock proposes to
harmonic the Republican party:
There is just one way to reunite the Repub-
lican party, and that IS to strange the free
hooters and buccaneers with the rascals and the
thieves, to clear away the rubbish Of its wreck
the old foundation Of principle: Party unity
is only possible by getting rid Of the elements
individuals a Ian unto Themselves. Party unity
is only possible in other words through organ
ization, and organization is only possible by
the snbordination Of individual wishes to the
will of the majority.
This means the ''strangulation'' Of
Davis, Hubbard, Armstrong. Freeman,
Barto, Petit, Fletcher, Camp, &c.
And these gentlemen are convinced
that the path to unity and harmony lies
over the PROSTATE carcasses Of Ramsey,
Wheelock, Crowell, Gilman, Benedict,

These thoughts have been suggested BY
reading the following in New York let
ter to an eastern newspaper:
Among the departures for Washington this
morning were number of gentlemen repre-
senting leading branches of trade, deslrous OF
persuading our delegation in Congress to ex-
empt this or that commodity from the opera
ton of the revenue bill. The whisky ana
sugar men are particularly anxious on the SUP
ject. Both represent large capital, ana the
interests at stake, therefore, run up into the
millions.
Is it any wonder that under such lnfiu-
ences the burdens Of government are
thrown upon the farming class! Is it
any wonder, when g the interests at stake
run up into the Millions" that corrup-
ton stalks through the halls OF Con

TUE poIIrICAL rUTu RE.

We published last week an able letter
from our esteemed correspondent, 20. Il.
p" of Olmsted county, touching the re-
lations of the Autobiography movement
to the Democratic party.
While there is great deal OF torce IN
some of the suggestions OF our correspeh'
dent this great fact remains, that II IS
only by an alliance of all the elements OF
the Opposition that success can be at
tanned. If the Opposition we're to dlvide
into two or three parties, an Anti-Monop'
" party, Liberal Republican party and
Democratic party, they would mutually
destroy each other and the common ad
yersary would undoubtedly continue to
triumph. Now if the protest against the
dominant party, implied in the Anti-Mo
nopoly movement. means anything Il
means that that Republican party, as a
present mana ed and directed. Is unfit t
longer control public affairs. Hence i
follows that all proper efforts to displac
them arc necessary and honorable.

ANOTHER SAD MISTAKE.

The Winona and St. Peter Railroad
Company found that their title to $780,
900 acres of their land grant worth
$2,5OO,OOO was defective; that the State
really held the title, and that legislation
was necessary to vest it in the company;
and so they applied for curative act.
In Committee of the Whole, when the
bill came up, we argued that it was the
duty of the State not to grant the land
until the company conceded the right Of
the State to regulate freight tariffs. The
company had contested that right; had
refused to acknowledge it; and had APP
pealed from the decision of the State court,
in the Blake case, to the United States
Supreme Court, the appeal already cost
ing the State over $4,000. We argued
that the United States Court might be
packed to decide against the right of the
people and in favor of the railroads; as
it was formerly packed on the legal
tender question, and still earlier on the
slavery question and that while we held
the power we should insist upon the com
pany conceding the right of the
State before we conveyed to then
one acre Of those lands. W.
offered an amendment to that effec
but we are sorry to say it was vote'
down. Afterwards, when the bill cam
before the Senate, Hon. Knute Nelson. q

and it was voted Down. yeas l6, nays q
