Tho other day. in commenting upon
tho action Of Mr.. County Commissioners
ellison in purchasing the Keyser 4
Elrod hay yard and Offering the same to
the county at cost, We made Incidental
reference ~ tho improperly. Ill a gen
eral sense, OF County Commissioners
doing business Or taking contracts or
performing other things which come in
the line OF county wants and pnblic sup
plies and repairs. We thought We
worded what We had to say clearly
enough to let any who might read it
understand that We no: only did not dis
approve of wha. Mr.. ellison had done,
but that We thought he had acted wise
". Also we intended to convey the idea
that in our judgment the Board would
act wisely and for the best interests OF
the county we're they to accept Mr..
Gillson's offer. We have not the re.
hottest suspicion that there is any lob
in this business. We are informed mot
by Mr.. ellison nor any one speaking for
him. bu: by sn outsider, that the pur-
chase or binding of the bargain to pur-
chase, WAS done openly and almost in
public, and that tho terms, the trade,
the objec; Of the negotiation. and
all. were preached. made sud
discussed ss matters having 8
bearing on the affairs OF the
County. In other words, when Mr.. Gill
son proposed TO buy the keyser 4 Elrod
property, he stated, distinctly, that he
wanted to secure the land for the coun-
ty-if the comfy wanted it, and if not.
that he would pay for it and keep 1t as
his own. And that is Just the way the
matter stands now. ellison is bound
to purchase and keyser & Elrod are
bound to sell that block OF land. The
price is fixed, and the county can get it
at that price, if the Commissioners say
so. The hitch is, That the Commission
ers - Meder and Morris - are dumb.
They make 10 answer to Mr.. GillsOn's
sons rroffer Of the property at cost.
Now We understand that the present
County Building and land can be sold
for upwards OF $4,000. Probably it
would fetch S25, 900. or more. 1t is the
unfttest of all places for Jail, and for
a Court House aud a place of deposit OF
the county archives the most incommo-
dious that could be selected. The want
Of the county is a new Cont House and
Jail and Jail yard. The keyser & Eleod
block is admirably situated for the pur-
pose, being central and amply large.
We suggest. as q plan to prompt the
Board to action, the circulating of a pc
tition among the taxpayers of the county.
Let the question be submitted to the
people, somehow.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-05-13

DR.. Newbreugb announced that he
raised $l20 for the poor family before he
left Havana, and from the spiritist meet
ing yesterday morning in Republican
Hall, $52. One of his heaters asked
whether the persons in Havana who con-
tributed the $3.50 were lnfidels, spiritual
lists or Christians. He answered that
they were two infidels, one spiritist and
himself. Three or four ladies passed
among the audience and collected $62.
A pillar of the society suggested that
this collection and all others should be
intrusted, not to the solicitor, but to the
treasurer of the society, in regular way.
This suggestion was hooted by the audi
eDc-, who seemed to be familiar with DR..
Newbrough. and on being put to vote
was almost unanimously voted down.
Money has been now raised to nearly the
amount of Mrs. Compton S debts.

The senators who are responsible for

the subject: r
There are two things which the next
congress should promptly do. First. re-
neal the law of which the express compan
les secured the passage, and then order al
investigation into the means by which suct
law became part of an appropriation bill

The changes introduced by congress at
its last session into the postal laws were
individually made in haste by reckless leg
islators to be repented of at leisure bv a
suffering people. 1t is worse than absurd
that man should be charged nearly or
quite the value of newspaper for sending
it to friend through the mails,or that the
forwarding through the post-ofice Of small
parcels should be made practically impos-
sible. Of course there should be reason in
the transmission Of postal matter as wei
as in the roasting Of eggs. 1t is an OBJ
vious violation of the principle on which
