Prof. W. H. Brewer, of Massachu.

Prof. W. H. Brewer, of Massachu-
setts, denies that ''thorough-bred'' ami
mails will "revert'' or degenerate into
inferior varieties from any other cause
than breeding with animals Of other
varieties, and has sent out a circular,
making inquiries whether anybody has
ever observed any such deterioration Of
stock because Of climate, poor food, or
any other similar cause. We are in
clined to think that the answers be re-
ceives will not support his theory.
An insane Presbyterian preacher
named Allen, wants to form a partner
ship with David Blakely, of the St. Paul
Pioneer-Press, it is said, and 90 into the
revival business, Ia Moody and San
key. He to preach and David to sing.
One trait Of his insanity is disposition
to embrace all the ladies he meets. It
would hardly suit for these two to 20
into partnership, for they would not
be able to agree. Similar dispositions
rarely do.
The Pioneer-Press consumed a COL
umn, few days ago, in complaining
that the late private soldiers of the army
are not admitted to membership in the
societies, "of the army of the Cumber-
land" and "of the army of the Tennes-
see," etc. Did the P. P. writer ever
find a private soldier who had not too
much respect for himself to ask to be
admitted to such snobbishly pretentious
associations?
The Mantorville Express reports
Dick Jones as saying, in his speech at
that place on the 9Th, that he was try
ing to repeat a speech he made first
about sixteen years ago. 1t was orig
inally devoted to showing up the extrav-
agance of the democratic party, but
Dick now proposes to use it against the
republican party. 1t would he we'll for
Mr.. Jones to change the "6gures' a
little as we'll as the party name.
The democratic papers think it is
a good joke to continue to lie about
anti-monopolists, and still they pretend
to want the latter to vote their ticket.
It is hardly the way to win the support
of people to make them the objects of
SANDER and abuse. Still, as it don't
hurt US, we guess we can stand it, if
they can.

The intelligence from Ohio is
that the republicans have carried
the State. One report gives them
about 10000 majority, while the
other places their majority at 1900.
OF course, our democratic friends
here attribute this result to the 6nan-
cial plank of the Ohio democratic
platform, instead of recognizing the
true cause. This true reason is the
arrogance displayed by democratic
leaders 10 the elements of opposition
to the republicans outside of their
own organization. People can
hardly be expected to vote for those
who abuse them whenever tney al
lude to them. In our opinion, the
Ohio democrats owe much of the
vote they receive to their financial
policy. Iowa is, also, reported to
have gone republican by $4,000
majority. Here is another proof
that anti-monopolists cannot be
driven by abuse into coalition. Ne
braska has also gone republican by
an increased majority.

Do Justice to all Men.

Mr.. Donnelly's greatest objection
to Hon. J. S. Pillsbury, the republi~
can gubernatorial candidate, seems
to grow wholly out of the fact that
the latter is largely interested in the
Minneapolis Touring mills. We
have always been taught that the
best men to place in public office
are those whose enterprising dispo-
sitions have led them to invest their
means in industrial pursuits. Instead
of Mr.. DonnellXs objection afford
ing reason why farmers should re-
fuse to vote for Mr.. Pillsbury, to our
mind, it seems one of the strongest
that can be given for their doing so.
By investing his, means in a mill
ing adventure, Mr.. Pillsbury has con-
tributed largely to creating home
market for wheat; and we all know
that the millers of this State have
uniformly paid higher price for
wheat than the shippers. Indeed,
the competition created by the mil
ling demand in our home markets
has advanced the price several cents
throughout the entire State, and
been the means of put ing thousands
of dollars into the pockets of farm
ers, which would otherwise have
gone into those of nonresident
spectators. Even in Red Wing
market the milling demand-and
created chiefly, too, by these same
Minneapolis millers whom Mr.. Don
nelly is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the price
of wheat constantly from five to ten
cents higher than it would be but
for that.
If Mr. Donnelly really understood
and honestly advocated what is the
farmers interest," instead of bowling
against and striving to "crush out"
millers, he would exert his influence
to procure their multiplication in all
parts of the State. He would real.
ize that one miller is Of far greater
value to the community than an in
finite multitude Of lawyers and pro-
fessional politicians.
To do Mr.. Pillsbury justice we
must concede that he is an honora-
bic, intelligent, publc-spirited gen.
tleman, and very correct and en-
ergetic business man. That he pos
sesses ability to fill the Office of gov
ernor as creditably as his competl-
tor, or as any of the former occu-
pants of that Office, for that matter,
cannot be truthfully disputed. He
is not politician and did not seek
the nomination. If he is elected, OF
which we have not the slightest
doubt, there is every reason to be-
lieve that he will faithfully admins

The Grange Advance, published at Red
wing, Mlnn.. is talking good sense on the
currency question. We trust it will stick
to 1t, and help to overthrow the Ramsey
specie contraction ticket now in the field.
and supported by the Pioneer-Press and
other bullion papers.-Industrial Age.
There are two of these " contraction
tickets in the field here, one called DEM
ocratic and the other republican, and if
our respected contemporary will read
our editorial under the caption of "The
Duty: Of the Hour" he will see whv
we cannot support the former. anti
monopolists cannot afford to help build
up the democratic party again, for by
so doing they undo all they have done,
inasmuch as the party is controlled by
a ring Of unscrupulous monopolists who
only maintain it's organization in order
to hinder the success of the anti-mo-
nopoly element.
--One of the most indefensible at
tempts to obtain money that we ever
heard of, short of positive swindling or
robbery, is that of Mr.. Geo. Hewitt,
telegraphic operator at Pine City, in
this State. This gentleman brought
suit against the Pioneer-Press recently
for libel, placing his damages at 49,
900. The libel consisted in the publ
cation of news item, charging &c TEL
egraphic operator at Pine City" with
misdemeanor. Itseems that the "op-
orator at Hinckley" was intended, and,
as soon as the error was made known
to the publishers, correction was
made and ample apology offered. Still
this man wanted damages in money,
and the jury gave him verdict for
$500.
One of the best men on either tick
ct is Mr.. Adolph Biermann, democratic
candidate for Secretary of State. We
care not what may be the politics Of
those who know him, none will deny

the entire people. The very nature
of his business makes him safe
man for the farmers to trust with
the transportation question. He
needs to ship flour cheaply.
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-10-13

I'VE have no quarrel with the
candidates on the democratic ticket.
They are generally good and COM
Petent men but with one exception
(Mr. Biermann), no better than
their opponents, and in two instan.
ces, at least, considerably inferior.
Our objection to supporting them
grows out Of the fact that in doine
so, we must perpetuate the power o1
the corrupt St. Paul ring, which
controls that organization.
