STEVENS COUNTY.

The whole world is moving toward
Stevens county. Bishop Ireland has
founded settlement at DeGraff about
forty miles from Morris on the line of
the same road. We quote the following
from the Pioneer-Press Of the 18th inst.
Rev. Bishop Ireland, who has already done
SO much to elevate the condition Of his fellow
countrymen in this city and state, has for some
time been engaged in ! scheme for transferring
. large number Of industrious and frugal Irish
families from the overcrowded cities to the
broad and wholesome prairies Of Minnesota
His plans have finally been matured and they
are now in process Of execution Bishop he
land has 6esn negotiating with President
George L. Becker, of the st. Paul & Pacific rail-
roSd company, for the purchase Of large
quantity Of railroad lands, and the sale hall
practically been completed. The rAilrOad
| company will transfer about $1,000 acres ol
land to Bishop Ireland, which with the SD.cO(
acres Of intesmediate government lands which
can be taken ups homestead, viii make l60,.

with drawn pistol had compelled him
to hand over SIC. 90, he could, if arrested,
be sent to Saltwater jail but the ware
houseman can rob not one farmer but a
whole countryside and he not only goes
unpunished but remains hOnOred and
respected.
Then some of the warehousemen have
their little thimble-rigging two quart tes-
ters put up in dark corner where they
will make wheat weigh just whatever
they please.
The farmers. the real creators of the
wealth and greatness of the state, are
treated like pack Of dogs; they sneak
into the villages and are ready to take
any treatment which their lords and mas
ters see fit to give them and say, ''thank
your With votes enough to control all
laws, they are utterly unprotected in
every respect; and they have lot the
courage and manhood to help themselves;
they are the jest and jibe of the very
people who plunder them.
Now the ANTI-MONOPOLY party offers
them an opportunity to organize for self
defence. Will they avail themselves OF
it? We doubt it. Any cross-road law
yer can scatter tnem like flock of sheep
by the merest appeal to old party bigot-
ries. All he has to do is to shake 1.-THE
bloody shirt" or ''the Pope IN their faces,
and they fall to fighting each other like
a pack Of wolves.
We'll, we suppose that those who are
unable or unwilling to defend themselves
ought to be the hewers Of wood and
drawers of water, for the world.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-01-20

The railroad lands are worth six or seven dol
lars an acre, but by the use of railroad bonds in
their purchase the cost to the settlers will not
De over 1,75 an acre. Bishop Ireland and
Fathers McDermott and McGolrick return
ed last evening from De Graft station, located
about ten miles southeast of Benson, the
county seat of Swift county, which will be the
centre of the colony, where they personally in
spected the land and its surroundings, and they
express themselves more than delighted at the
favorable prospects Of this commendable enter
prise.
As soon as the weather permits, Roman
Catholic church and school house will be built
at DeGraff, and Father McDermott will he trans
ferred to that point, to superintend the work Of
construction, and to receive and dispose of the
colonists as last as they arrive. 1t is proposed
to sell these lands only to the better class of
cash to purchase their la. ds and get favor
able start in life at their new homes. It will be
stipulated that no liquor selling will be allowed
IN the Settem mt, and every effort will be made
to limit the sale of lands to those who will i'm.
prove them at once, and who have DISPOSE
| ton to become what they can be in very few
years, rich and independent farmers.
This grand colonization scheme is already
so far advanced that there is no doubt of the
ultimate and complete accomplishment of all
that Its projectors have in view. Those who
know the lndomitable spirit of Bishop Ireland
are sure that he will not sleep in peace until
his Irish county is thoroughly settled with
thrifty agricultursts. The work of collecting
the families will commence at once, and as soon
as spring opens the stream of settlers will tErn
towards Swift county, the railroad company
having agreed to make special arrangements in
their behalf, including ha!f-fare rates OF trans
portatiOn thithcr.
This is true religion; to furnish homes
for the homeless to help the struggling
to help themselves. When churches ap
ply themselves to such work they COM
mand the respect even of scoffers.
This is the beginning of great future.
The Catholic church can help the work
OF colonization more than any other in
stitution; for no other institution com.
mands SO much of the respect and obedl-
ence of its followers. Bishop Ireland
has opened the path which the whole
church must TO low. To thin out
the superbundant population Of the old
world is to help those who migrate and
those who remain. 1t gives to those
who migrate homes, opportunity and
p'enty it increases the chances of those
who remain by diminishing competition
A dense population means an intense
struggle tor the means OF life, great hov.
erty and great sin. To thin out pcpu.
lation by colonization is to promote vir
tue.
What other church will follow Bisho)
Ireland example? What other church
viii. help its poor people to homes? LIE
the cry go forth Lands tor the landless
homes tor the homeless; bread for tn,
breadless. That is unadulterated chris
tianity such as Christ preached, when h.
fed the swarming multitudes with tn
five loaves and two fishes.

HARD TINES.

The Chicago Post said the other day :
Property was never SO unproductiye in Chi
cago as at present; rents never so low or hard to
get, and taxes never so high. The pi ocess OF
going in deeper, and of pling on taxes higher
and higher, must stop soon, even II 1t ends In
universal reputation and bankruptcy;
And the Chicago Times says on the same
subject:
If any tax-eater attempts to collect $50 on
your S25 worth of personal property, shoot him
OD the spot The man who Legins the tax
fighting shutzenfest with tax-eater for the tar
get shall have monument erected in his hon
or in one of the public parks, not more than
ten miles from the court bOus5.
St. Paul is now in paroxysms of agony
over her immense expenditures. "A
year or two ago when We sought to ar
rest this flood of extravaganza, every
popinjay could mock us and the people
Iaughed-it was such "a capital joke!
Now the grin has worked around onto
the other side of the mouth. And we
"talked too much then!' Well we will
let the people and their plunderers argue
it out now. We yield the floor.

before the recent election in Mississippi
shows that there is no foundation for this
fear, but that on the contrary the ne.
groes are welcomed to the Democratic
camp with open arms. The writer
says:
The whites are perfectly infatuated with the
determination to get the Legislature, and il
seems to me that they are going to have it.
When all the property holders, or we may safe
ly say 95 per cent. OF them, are moved by a
common impulse, they are apt to carry their
point.
1t looks to me as though they would get the
Legislature for reasons have given. am con-
vinced that more regroes will vote with the
whites than ever before. There are several
counties where from two to four hundred are
enrolled for the Democratic clubs. At the
large Democratic demonstration at Holly
Springs, Thursday, there were over five hund-
red cOlored men in the procession. TLey were
received with larger volume of yells and ap-
plause than any other feature of the procession
called out. When darkey once crosses the
Rubicon and lands in the Democratic camp,
the warmth Of his reception exceeds the de-
scriptive power Of language. The tatted calf
IS killed, and songs of rejoicing fill the air
But it has chilling effect OH the proceedings to
see how closely the convert is watched tina. he
does not return to his first love before election.
Times are very, very hard, and even the me-
grots, although in the main owning 10 prop
erty, are feeling the heavy hand of taxation. In
some parts of the State planters are bringing
the beauties of what is styled 'radical rule' to
their attention by adding the amount OF land
taxes against them in the division of tie crop.
There is no fairness tn this, but it is thought a
good way to influence the darky to vote the
white ticket Having failed to lodge an argu-
ment in his thick skull by anv other means,
they propose to get into his true inwardness by
way OF the pocket nerve and an empty belly.
Whenever politics in the south ceases
to be divided on the line of race we may
look tor peace and prosperity.

without regard to politics. 1t is well

We have each year stored the bulk of our
