c. j. MONFORT & co.

We desire to call the attention of
grangers and others to the advertise
ment, which will be found in another
column. of the great grocery house OF
c.. J. Montort Il Co: st. Paul. These
gentlemen have prepared in compliance
with the request of committee OF the
State Grange. printed circular giving
"bottom prices" for groceries, &c. which
circular they will be glad to furnish. ilee
of charge. to all who may apply for the
same. We have examined this circular
and we can only say that the prices ii
names are surprisingly low. Every
housewife in the state should at once
write for 4 circular.
One great object in the formation
of the order of Patrons of Husbandry
was the cheapening of the price OF pur-
chases. Messrs. Mentort 4 Co now
afford the patrons a golden opportunity
in the way of groceries. They ceult
not buy cheaper if they bought a
wholesale in New York city.

have it saddled on us forever. like the
three elephantine normal schools,
And if it is to be maintained at the
cost of the liquor sellers then we protest
against it. 1t is an admission that the
sale OF liquor necessarily produces hu-
man wrecks, little better than the insane,
and who are to become public burden,
and it says, in effect, to the liquor
seller -''Here, we license you to Gre
ate these wrecks out of your fellow
men, provided only you support them
after you have reduced them to help

Ii this theory be true then the state
ought not to issue licenses to sell Ii
quor.
But we have already on the statute
books laws which make it penal Of
fence on the part of the liquor-dealer to
sell to an inebriate or Incorporate per-
son. II this law were enforced there
would be no necessity for an inebriate
asylum, for there would be no inebri-
ates.
Than we have another law which pro.
vides that the estate of any inebriate may
be taken from his custody by the courts.

II inebriety is becoming an evil of
such magnitude as is claimed. let de
partment be added to the insane asylum

down this already tax-opp:essed people
with another burden. in the shape of a
vast Inebriate Asylum, costing 300, 900,
with more professors and nurses than
patients,
The taxpayers need a little more
Careful nursing just now than the drunk
ards and we cannot understand why one
man should toll through heat and cold
to pay taxes to keep some good-for-noth-
ing loaier toasting his shins in a palatial
home. There is such thing as running
''humanitarianism" into the ground.
Justice to the working bees is of more
consequence than generosity to the

TIM INkBRI4TE Asylum

This institution has attracted s. good
deal OF attention of late and the senate
upon Tuesday last voted TO abolish it.
We voted with the majority tor these
reasons.
First. We thought it unwise to increase
the number OF state Institutions. They
already constitute formidable CON-
bination or ring" the greatest oppo.
nent we lave to economical state gov
ernment. Here is the list
st. Paul: the reform school and
the state capitol: Minneapolis. the uni
versity; Saltwater. the state prison !:
Faribault. the asylum tor the deaf. and
dumb and blind; st. Peter. the insane
asylum; Wiuona. the soldiers orphan
asylum and the first normal school. and
st. Cloud the third normal school. And
in addition to this kasota now expects
to secure the second state prison: Owa-
tonna the second insane asylum. and
Rochester has already been selected IS
the site of the inebriate asylum. Here
are sisrss of the principal cities of the
state. which are. or expect TO be, inter.

the state government What more nat.

er and assist each other in securing such
appropriations

,aper if man can sell his homestead.

paper II man can sell his homestead.
We would say in answer to this, that
the laws of Minnesota not only exempt
from seizure and sale for debt eighty
acres of land and the horses, mules, cat
!. tie, pigs, feed, &c. enumerated in the
law, but it also allows the debtor to sell
his homestead and keep the money. II
however he puts that money into any
business which is not exempted by law,
such as merchandising or specializing,
his creditors can seize upon it. Ifhow-
ever our correspondent sells his eighty
acres Of land he can take eighty acres of
a government homestead, or 100 if he
has been soldier. 16O acres of "tim-
Der culture claim,n and he will hold both
free from all debts contracted prior to
the issue of his patent therefore so that
he can practically turn 80 acres into 24O
OF $50 acres and hold the 24O or 320
acres free from all previous debts.

We regret deeply to hear of the lynch
ing which took place few days ago at
Plainview, as recorded in another col
umn. 1t was cruel and brutal affair.
The young man, Hathaway, without
doubt deserved death. There can be no
excuse for any man numbering a wo-
man simply because she is not willing to
marry him, Men may talk about love,
passion, insanity, &c. but the cure for
such abnormal mental developments is
q short shritt and stout cord but this
remedy should be administered by the
law not by mob. The cure in the lat
ter case is worse than the disease.
1t is due to the good name of Mime
sofa that our beautiful state should not
be stained with mob law.

In our Judgment the office OF Commits

1t was established on the pretense OF

whale can do is to smash it,

STEVENS COUNTY.

We are receiving very many letters
from different parts OF the world from
parties who contemplate removing to-
Stevens county in the spring. The in
dications are that every arabic acre in
the county will be occupied before mid-s
summer next.
We have just received letter from
Milwaukee in which our correspondent
asks the following questions:
Excuse the liberty take in asking questions
about Stevens county. | know that you are
busy and bored badly without anything from
me. Yet ask tine following questions, to- wit:
What is the nature Of the surface and subsoli
IA said county. Is there stone suitable for
building handy About how many inhabi-
tants III the county, am aware you can't tel |
exactly. What can the r. r. Co.'S bonds be
got for, in numbers sufficient for section or

Douglas as near Morrisl l. il as tine looking

thing OF interest, as | think OF returning to
Minnesota in the spring.
Yours truly,
L. E. PEARcs.
The name will be recognized as that
OF an old and honored pioneer of South
ern Minnesota. We answer his ques-
tions in detail
/ The surface OF Stevens county is
generally rolling prairie OF rich black
earth. from one to three feet deep, un-
derlaid by clay and mari; the latter
being IL itself Al inexhaustible manure.
IL. Stone is lacking. No quarries
have vet been opened. We suppose
that under the clay and mari there must
be limestone strata. and that in some
ravines they will be reached. The land
between Hancock and Hermann seems
to be all rich plough.land. meadow or
lakes. no sand, no gravel. no poor spots,
that we saw.
III. The inabitants of the county are
few in number-probably one or two
thousand in all mostly on governme ut
land. homestead setders.
". The price of r. r. land depends
upon the price OF the bonds in Holland,
aud these tiuctuate from day to day.
We have heard of numerous purchases
at the rate OF sl-25 per acre; and so me
as low as Sl.05 per acre.

STATE DEPARTMENT or AGRICUL-

In another column we print an alb
stract of remarks made in the State Sen.
ate on the 9th of January, in favor of
the establishment OF a State Department
Of Agriculture and Forestry. We would
like our readers to peruse it, and If 1t
meets their approval communicate with
their members and senators on the sub
lect. We have very fairminded and
able senate, but only .fpe Of the senator's
out Of forty-tns are farmers, and they
may not appreciate the necessity tor
such a State Department as q body OF
farmers would.
We would be glad to publish the views
of the farmers upon this question.

Antl-Monopolists and Democrats has
so far failed. We call then upon the
people, Democrats, Republicans, and
Anti Monopolists, to meet together on a
common platform and build from the
ground up.
We hope soon to hear that our Fari-
bault correspondent has organized his
association, and that he has embraced in
its membership the leading men Of all
parties in that city.

THE STATE CONSTITUTION.

We would commend the utterance of
Hon. Lafayette Emmett. in another col

the constitution of the state.
Is it not nearly time that we held a
state convention to revise the whole in

the people something, especially as they
have been the most eventtul twenty
