The ST. Paul Dispatch advocates
Fisher and denounces US for opposing
him in one paragraph, and in the next
says:
Missouri has followed the foolish example
set by Minnesota, Wisconsin and Lora, and
has appointed a board of railroad commits
sioners, who are ABOUT to publish the
rates aud regulations they have estab-
lished, to take effect the first of next
month. Their rules are very stringent,
it is said, and they reduce freight rates ten to
thirty per cent, while they limit passenger
fares ON main lines to three cents a mile and
on branch and leased lines to four cents. The
railroad companies propose to resist in the
courts, and v they fail then to cut doug" accom-
modati0ns, and stop improvements In the end
DO h the people aud the railroads lcill be thu
poorer but wiser.
And this is the feast to which we are in

To be sure this is not very emphatic
but Senator Capser has since informed us
that he never said even that much. That
he stated that he would wait until the

THE CUSTOMS OFFICERS.
New York, June 10, Correspondence OF Chloa-
go Tribune
It appears that the indictment OF
Clafin & Co. by District Attorney Bliss
for selling smuggled goods is desperate
effort to save himself and Collector Ar
thur from removal. Judge Pierrepont
and Secretary Bristow are understood to
desire the removal of both, and an inves'
tigation of their accounts has been made
by the Washington authorities. The re-
suit is said to be unfavorable to the otti-
Gals, and their removal is probable with
in fortnight. When Graft first began
selling the Struggled goods which Clatiin
& Co. bought. they represented the facts
to Collector Arthur, and no notice was
taken of their information. On the con-
trary, some high officials in the Custom
| House advised them to continue buying.
Not satisfied, Clafin & Co. lodged infor.
nation with Secretary Bristow. and soon
after the investigation was begun, and
the fight of Lawrence, arrest Of Des
Anges, and fight of Graft followed. 3ris'
tow will be an important witness fol
Clafin. Much indignation here exist:
among merchants at the indictment o
Claflin & Co.. and the action is generally
denounced as an outrageous device on tn,
part of District Attorney Bliss to indi
cate the zeal he does not feel. Bliss j
the same District Attorney who received
5 per cent. from Sanborn for aid il
forcing the collection of legacy taxes.

MIR. Ingersoll OF Messrs. D. w. Ingersoll &
Co. has been in the eastern markets tor the
past month, and from the piles OF domestic
and foreign goods piling up at the old corner
we should judge that he had struck rock bot
tom. Our tri -nds would do well to inspect
this splendid stock and see to what astonlsh-
ing low prices the goods are marked down. In
addition to all the staple, everyday goods Of
which Messrs. lngersol 4 Co. carry 50 large
stock, they are always adding some specialties
OF great attraction. Last month in was a thou
sand fans in over six hundred different styles,
now it is lot of real Llama shawls at hall the
price Of last year, and lot of foreign dress
goods at less than the gold cost to import, and
few pieces OF rich black silks at very low
prices. Messrs. Ingersoll & Co. is one Of the
live firms, up to the times, and should have
q call from every stranger visiting st. Paul.

In regard to Mr. Fishers record on the rail
road question, we are quite sure that MIR. Don
nelly mistakes his position, and that, on the
other hand, he is gentleman whose every
sympathy is with the depressed industrial in
terests OF our State and that anything within
his power, should he be elected, would he done
to elevate and benefit not only the agricultural
but all other material interests OF the State
Mankato Rcrietc.
How will you prove that Mr.. Fisher
sympathies were with the people on these
great questions! What utterance Of his
is on record! If the old Pioneer, which
he edited, does not represent his primer
pies, where are they! Your whole can
vass would be defensive and you would
spend it in proving that this line or para
graph in the old Pioneer represented his
views, and that one did not.

THE Zumbrota Independent is kind
enough to say:
We do not share in the opinion expressed
by correspondent last week that Mr.. DON
nelly's opposition to the Normal Schools is oc-
casioned by hostility to the common school
system OF the State. Ii we are not mistaken,
Mr. Ok nnelly first came into notice rs . pub
lie speaker by lecturing upon educational top
les, making his mark as man OF brains, learn
ing and eloquence, in that line, before ever be-
ing heard OF in politics. We do hot believe
he is at heart the enemy of anything cslcu-
lated to improve the condition of his fellow
men.
In Congress we were the first to prove,
in an elaborate. statistical speech, the
connection between the i'literacy of the
people in the different parts Of the nation,
and the state of public sentiment towards
the Union; and we did more than any
other one man to secure the creation of

valuable and permanent part of the gen.
eral government. All the education we

TuE ST Paul DisDntch saws:

That is the spirit which the Dispatch re-
Dukes, and we say kindly but firmly, that the
Opposition can spare Mr.. Donnelly or any Oh
ers who feel welded to that policy. 1t may be
that success lciH be delayed, but irretrievable
and permanent ruin will follow if the other
course is pursued We prefer to build sure,
even though it requires more time to accom-
plish that result.
That is to say, the Dispatch proposes
to sacrifice the Opposition this year by
driving the ANn-MoNoPoLIsrs out Of their
party, in the hope that in some dim flu
ture they may succeed without them.
And for this are We an organ.
The issue then is the nomination OF
Fisher, even if it smashes the party.

GA short horse is soon curried." The
proof that the foregoing is not true is
found in the fact that in ten months edi-
torial control of these pages We never
once alluded to Mr.. Fisher, directly or
indirectly, until the Pioneer Press in
sisted that we should give our opinion Of
the project Of nominating him for Gov
ernor. While the editorial fraternity
were soldering him all over with their
compliments We kept our opinion of him
as candidate in our own breast, and
when we did speak it was in perfectly re

This is an absolute lie. We challenge
Fisher to produce any such manuscript,
or the editorial printed from it. or any
proof, other than his own word, that we
ever wrote fulsome praise of ourself and

think the State has gone far enough in a
career of reckless, fruitless extravaganza.
A COMPLETE ANSWER.

The Mankato Reuiew devotes column
to the interviews reported the other day
in the ANTI MoNoPoL1sT, in reference to
the nomination Of Fisher for Governor.
It says:
We have the authority of Messrs. Severance,
Meagher, and Lamberton for saying that the
interviews attributed to them are incorrect,
and misrepresented them"
The card in another column shows that
Mr.. Severance retracts nothing, and only
wonders that he did not sag good
deal more. That disposes Of point No. l.
Hon. E. St. Julien Cox heard what Mr..
Lamberton said, and he will not deny
that Mr.. L. said just what was attri6u-
ted to him.
AS to Mr.. Meagher. let him speak for
himself: he knows how to write; let him
say whether Col. Taisey nisrepresented
him.
In Mr.. Doran's case the ''interview
was read over to him just as it was print
ed, and met his approval.
| But how about Coggswell and McGov'
ern! Why don't the Reriew see them
Their utterances were pretty strong and
direct against Fisher.

candidate tor Governor Will it give him the
same cordial support in canvass before the
people that it apparently has given his candi-

Whereto the Pied Press replies
The Pioneer Press would probably support
Fisher in opposition to any Republican less
worthy of popular confidence and support.
Other things being equal, it ,rot.id, naturally
enough, prefer Republican but 1t will sup

AMONG other conclusive arguments why
Fisher sbou d be nominated. the Dis
patch urges this:
Is it any special wonder, after all, that there
sbonld he such a spontaneous and unanimous
uprising in favor of Louis E. Fisher, when 1t
comes to be realized that this present month OF
