MORE LIES.

Carefully prepared statements OF the crop
prospects in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Iowa indicate that the increased number
OF acres sown and the quality of the spring
wheat will bring the whole production in those
States up to an average crop.-Erchange.
Don't believe a word of it. Why
would farmers in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
&c, plant such large additional guam
tity Of land to wheat when wheat is ruin.
ously low! 1t don't work that way in
this State. Even Dalry,nple puts in GAO
acres Of corn.
There is a settled purpose to keep
down the price of wheat. The facts are
suppressed or only leak out by accident.
For instance. we we're told that Califor-
MIA had fair crop Of wheat. Now comes
Captain Sullivan, lately Of Rosemount, Da-
kota county, and writes to the Farming
ton Press from California that the wheat
crop Of that State is almost q total fail
ure, except along the foggy coast, and
that starvation is staring the people in
the face. So it goes.
It cannot be denied that winter wheat
in Ohio, Indiana, &C., is half ruined. and
now comes the cry that increased acreage
will bring it up; and that the quality OF
the spring wheat, just out Of the ground!
will equalizc the loss.

NATURALIZATION.

one OF our river towns, we are told,
has recently had remarkable case Of
naturalization which beats Katy King
out Of sight. A lady whose husband was
temporarily absent, became medium,
and progressed so far in the occdlt SCI
ence that at last she produced the visible
spirit of her grandmother and other long
departed friends, male and female. One
night, about eleven clock, some visitors
called at the door, whereupon one Of the
materialized male spirits became strange
ly alarmed, broke for the back door,
jumped the fence and streaked it across
lots, leaving the track of pair Of No. !
boots in . neighborlng manure heap.
Many who had up to that time resolutely
refused to believe in the return Of the
spirits of the departed, viewed the tracks
Of those boots the next day, and were
convinced, not only that spirits could ma
terialize, but that they made frst-class
boots in the realms Of bliss. Verify
"There are more things in heaven and eath,
Horatio,
Than are dreamed OF in your philosophy.

A kind and valued friend writes to the
Red Wing Argus, from Pine Island, and
addresses US thus:
Impartial and honest men who have noticed
YOUR course since you have been in public life
will agree to this But designing and corrupt
politicians, who can make political. cap
ital by your change OF party principles, to the
interest OF your country, will try to turn your
truths into falsehoods, Tor the purpose OF the II
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. But We believe that the
ffty-nine votes that you received last winter IN
the Legislature for the honorable position OF L.
S. Senator represented the majority OF the vo-
ters OF the State, and that they have now en-
tire confidence in your honesty and ability to
place YOU where you can do the most good -
We therefore most respectfully beg leave TO
nominate you TOR the next Governor OF Mime
sofa
Thanks, many thanks. for your kind
sentiments, good friend. but it won't do.
We have no desire to butt our head against
that 10000 majority, With the St. Paul
Ring firing hot shot into our back. We
have been there once before. We have
neither money nor energy to spend in any
such fruitless, REPRESENTATIVES,, wretch
ed task.
Other men may lead the hosts OF re
form. We will march IS high private
in the rear rank This is one OF thos'
occasions when
The place of honor is the private station.

closer they make the corporation the bet
ter chance for themselves. They rode
the Democratic party into its grave in
the old days; and now, long ere Gahsiel
has sounded his trumpet, they stand
ready to mount the shoulders OF the
corpse as it comes up from its resting place.
Is there not danger that Gabriel may put
his trumpet in his pocket and adjourn the
resurrection sine die?
It is painful for US to speak unkindly Of
any one, but from sense of duty we ut
ter these words of warning. We call up
on the Democracy all over the State to
prevent rash and illiberal action upon the
part Of part Of their committee.
They should insist that Saint
Paul's selfish ring shall not run
the party to its ruin. There should be
full and fair and courteous conference
between all the elements Of the Oppose
ton.
There are men, we know, who will say,
s'better be defeated than make conces-
sions; let us go down with our flag fy-
ing" &C.. But if mans principles are
worth anything he should desire to see
them triumphant. If he believes them
to be necessary to good government he
should make every honorable sacrifice to
put them in force.
For our part we care nothing for the
Offices we ask no Office on any ticket;
and il 5000 of those who voted for Nc
MILAN last fall, come forward with
platform of correct principles, and pro-
pose to cooperate with US, we say meet
them half way, and make all reasonable
concessions to satisfy them. We want
that plank. We sink without it.
We do not say that Democrats should
sac: fice their Democracy. Let them
hold Democratic Convention if they
choose; and let the Liberal or Anti.Mo.
nopoly element hold another; and then
see if as sensible men we cannot al! agree
upon united action, either in whole or in
part.
If we cannot, then let every element
paddle its own canoe; and Ben. Butler S
grandfather take the hindmost. 1t is
difficult to hurt Christian or an Anti
Monopolist. The same element that of
old revolted from the Democracy and
created the Republican party is nov in
revolt from Republicanism. They did
not rebel in either case for the sake of Of
| flee or plumber. And it won hurt them
a bit to remain in the minority for few
years to come.
And we have thousands Of readers who
are no longer Republicans, who will say,
"let US 60 it alone at once; we want no
alliance with either Democrats or Repub-
licans Let US mske new party. But
| ,,oooce los IN coalition of all the Gle.
ments Of Opposition. 1t may be that the
issue next year will be IAN Empire or
Republic" Let all good men work to.
gether for harmony and peace. Personal
ambitions and the small tricks of cliques
should be set aside.
Have we moderation and good sense
enough in the Opposition to organize VIC
] tory?

HOW THE MORSE LAW PROTECTS
THE PEOPLE.
The Mortified Standard, (Rep.) asks

this interesting question -
Why is il that wheat can be shipped from
Castle Rock, to Minneapolis for 81 cents per
bushel. while 10 cents is charged from North
field, only SIR miles farther We have been
told within the past few days that wheat was
carried to Minneapolis, from Castle Rock and
Farmin gton, for even less, in consideration OF
the -four being turned over to the same roai.
We care not VINO buys the wheat, we only care
to have such measures taken as will bring
trade to our city, instead Of driving it away,
farmers want the best price they can get for
their grain, vet II is hardly probable that they
would pass right through town and carry their
loads six OF seven miles farther, il the mills at
Mortified would receive it at the same price.
The reason is, because you have the
Morse law, That is what protects you !;
don't you see it!
Think Of charging half as much for
carrying bushel Of wheat from North
field to Minneapolis, as it costs for car
rying a bushel Of wheat from Minneapo-
lis to Chicago!
But then there is no reason why rail-
roads should be regulated that is the
old Pioneer doctrine, and We can elect
Fisher on that issue. Why can't we!

EXACTLY 80.
The Wright county Times (Rep.) says

The Wright county Times (Rep.) says
Of Mr.. Fisher:
He is not the sort OF man to kindle the en-
thusiasm of the masses nor would he draw
airy support from the Republican party except
such as might be influenced by dissatisfaction
with the Republican nomination. In short,
Mr.. Fisher would make good average Demo-
cratic candidate, no more and no less, and
could not possibly be elected, except through
discussions in the Republican ranks. the inau-
guration OF vigorous Temperance movement,
or some disturbing force OF that character re-
sulting in a division Of the Republican
strength.
The N orthfield Journal, INDEPENDENT
says:
Now on the subject Of elevating our sign for
Mr.. Fisher, we have to sugg st that the time
has not come but we are willing to say that
we have high respect for him, and if circum-
stances conspire to bring him for~ ard as peo-
pies candidate, or on some such popular
movement, we should take off our coats and
ego for him., we mean work for his election.
But II he should he put forward as Demo-
cratic candidate, pure and simple, we should
probably husband our resources for something
else

ANOTHER POOL.

All the railroad and steamboat men
met in St. Paul the other day to combine
against the farmers; and that sturdy de.
fender Of popular rights, the Pied Press,
thus adroitly puts forth the results to
the people:
The object Of the meeting was to talk over
transportation, particularly on wheat. The
present rates on wheat from all points on the
liver to Chicago and Milwaukee Is % cents per
hundred bv river and rail, and Is cents all rail.
For some t me past, wheat buyers have been
paving as high as ST. 90 and Sl.O3 per bushel
for wheat at points along the river, and large
amounts are held in store As the same wheat
is now quoted at only $1.24@l % per bushel in
New York. it will be readily seen that the only
reduction of rates in transportation, and it was
to talk over this matter that the conference
was held.
After a pretty full discussion of the matter
in all it's bearings, the railroad and river men
came to the conclusion that the rates could no!
be reduced, but will remain as before at 23@25c
to Chicago and Milwaukee, and 53@56c pei
from holders of wheat, and they will I've obliged
to suffer loss of from to cents per bushel
unless they can succeed in making better terms
by lake. their only hope now.
Before the meeting, the air was full o.
rumors of war between the great compel
ing lines; but they all agreed to agree
and keep up rates. And SO the price O
wheat goes down, business suffers, an6
| the farmers are robbed.
"Their only hope now is by the Lake.
But is not the Lake Superior Railroad IL
the ring? And if it is not, will it not b

Oh! that we had free canal, owned
by the people, to Lake Superior. How
soon would we break the back Of thes

Of the peoples movements for self.pro-
lection; the advocate of every steal ever
sought to be perpetrated upon the State;
the paper that had. in turn, sold out
Stephen A. Douglas and defended Bill
King.
We are well aware that if Davis is the
candidate, much aid will be expected
from the bitter opposition Of the friends
of Mr.. Ramsey. But that must not be
overrated. 1t must be remembered that
last fall the Ramsey, Window and King
men fought Mark H. Dunnell fiercely, and
the St. Paul Press denounced him with
out stint; and the Press was then the party
organ; while now it is powerless oppo-
nent, outside the party lines. What was
the result! Dunnell made the most Wig
orous canvass ever made in southern
Minnesota; he spoke in nearly every
school house in his district, while his op.
ponent, very able and honorable gen.
tleman, was silent, as Fisher would be-;
and Dunnell was reelected Thy a hand
some majority. Ramsey is now a private
citizen, King is plunged into ''sea of
troubles and Window is smirched
with Kings disgrace. Men do
not worship the setting sun.
And it must not be forgotten that if it
becomes known that King, Window and
Ramsey are making war on Davis, it will
give him fully as many votes as he will
lose.
We do not know that under any cir
cumstances, or with any ticket, success
is possible this fall. The Grange senti-
ment is not as strong as it was; the
Back Pay steal and the M '1lrath defalca'
ton are half forgotten already; the Lib
eral wing Of the Opposition are disheart-
ened at the evident purpose to use them
and ignore them. 1t is better to tell the
truth and look the facts squarely in the
face. He is the friend Of the Opposition,
who gives it honest advice; rather than
the one who helps to send 1t whoopine
and hurrahing to destruction.
Again we say go slowly, gentlemen
We have many able men and eloquent ad
vocates, identified during years Of strug
gle with the cause Of popular rights
Unite all the elements Of Opposition and
select from among these your very best
men. and trust for success to the justice
of your cause and your own efforts, rath
er than to the help Of Alexander Ram
sew and William s. King.

Now, so far as Mr.. Fisher is concerned,

HELPING THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

Mr. Donnelly proposes to abolish the Nor
NAL Schools and give Zumbrota High School
$500 or 81 900 year on condition that Nor
NAL Glass shall be maintained therein. He
will also do the same by Pine Island and Red
Wing. This would be very satisfactory. to
these three districts, but what about the other
one hundred and forty districts in the cou nty
Would they feel just like it? Make the rich
richer and the poor poorer they would say.
Tax the scattering farmers and the thinly set
tied districts to give better schools in the towns
and villages This would be equality and
true economy! Too thin for the people. Mr..
Donnelly. However, we will vote for Mr..
Donnelly for State Superintendent, if he will
get $500 year for the Pine Island school, and
$500 wear for the Zumbrota sch ,sl; and we
will agree to send out at least ten teachers
from each school yesrly.-Zumbrota Indepen-
dent.
If forty high schools can be helped
$500 each. with a $4,000 appropriation,
and they turn out ten teachers each, that
would be four hundred teachers yearly,
instead of about thirty.five as now, from
the two schools we propose to abolish.
Try the rule Of three On it; as IS is to
400 SO are the advantages Of helping two
normal schools to the benefits resulting
from assisting 40 high schools.
Would not three high schools, SO
helped, in Pine Island, Zumbrota and
Red Wing, bring home the advantages Of
normal training to every farmer boy and
girl in Goodhue county, much better than
sending them to Winona! And if the
farmers Of the other l40 school districts
Of Goodhue county complain Of building
up high schools in their
own neighborhood at their expense,
how much more should they complain Of
being taxed to maintain palatial estab.
lishments in cities one hundred miles dis
tant!
Let the editor Of the Independent think
for himself, and not be humbugged by
his Winona correspondents, and he will
help us achieve this great and necessary
reform.
