purchase, declared that there was no
such purchase. In the next place, the
Journal proprietors and the men who
control them, have chronic, morbid,
insane spite against the whole Colo
ny enterprise and the Colony
Company in particular. They have
therefore, without any reference to
right or the good of this community,
endeavord to destroy the good name
and influence, not only of the Colony
proprietors themselves, but of nearly
every one who has been in any way as
ISOLATED with them in land or other
transactions. This insane spite culmi-
mated in the recent Infamous attacks
which have been SO generally condem-
ned by all fair-m1nded men.
Mr.. Taylor says truly that his efforts
should merit and receive the "hearty
goodwill, cooperation and assistance'
OF every one in the county. And this
is the verdict of every just man as to
Mi. Taylor and as to Miller, Humiston
u GO. But neither Of these gentleman
can expect any fair treatment from the
journal or the set who control it. That
sheet was started to make war upon the
best men and the best interests of No.
bles county, and why should it not he
working out the end for which it was
brought into being?

THE JYURY Law.
The Grange Advance says:

Inc orange Advance says:
The experience of the world proves
beyond dispute that usury laws always
operate to the disadvantage of the Dor
rover, and aid an unprincipled lender
to impose upon his victims.
At the time the usury bill was pend
ing, we said that if passed, it would
operate disastrously to the newer coun-
ties, like our own. The bill did pass,
and theeffect is already apparent. Par
ties who had arranged with eastern
capitalists to loan money in our midst,
cannot loan under the new law, since
the capitalist asks twelve per cent.
where the securities are no better than
they are on the frontier, leaving no
commission to the agent or banker.
we learn that Mr.. Alley recently receiv-
ed several thousand dollars to loan,
but tl1at he will not do so under the
circumstances. Also that Messrs.
Smith, of the Bank of Worthington,
will be driven to Iowa for whatever
business they may do in loaning, and
:are already preparing to open an office
lin Sibley.
uhe law is already causing a great
tdealuf' distress in this county, and the
d"pmers,; as usual, are the greatest suf-
tferers fro"1 this stupid effort to regu-
late TIL value of money. Now if we
'cou' have a law fixing the price of
W eat at 60c a bushel, Donnel]y and the
supporters of this bill would have done
their share toward crushing out the
farmers.

The Y. NJ. G. A. and representatives
Of the churches have finally requested
Gov. Pillsbury to appoint day of fast
ing and prayer for de]iverance from the
grasshopper plague. Really, it begins
to look as though Minnesota were a
Christian State. We haye urged this
for several years, and the fact that our
suggestion was not adopted is 4 most
humiliating commentary, ~ upon our
own influence; and ~ upon the faith
of protesting Christians in the prayer

Thirty men are said to have arrived
in Minnesota to liberate the Mortified
Robbers. Don't be afraid, gentlemen.
That liberation won't lie by force. But
1t will be in due time brought about by
money. John Morgan and his officers
were allowed to dig out Of the Ohio
Penitentiary. The disperadocs of the
South can steal half million dollars
and pay it down to have tie Youngt is
set free. And some fine morning, there
will be hole in the ground outside of
tue prison wall, and the robbers will
be gone to their 'Sunny South.''

Henry Kinds, attorney and editor of
the Sllakopee Argus, takes the ground
that mortgage foreclosures may still be
by advertisement, notwithstanding the
new law, because this right existed and
was exercised before any statutes were
made regulating such foreclosures.
The right to foreclose by ADVERTISE
ment, he claims, is not given by statute,
but is given by the power of sale con-
tanned in the mortgage, and the fore
closure was merely regulated, not given,
by statute. Let us hear from some Of
our lawyers on this point.

Il GRIST MILL.

We invite the especial attention of
our readers to the communication on
the subject Of grist mill, from one of
our most intelligent and substantial
farmers. We agree thoroughly with
our correspondent that the paramount
Immediate need at Worthington is II
grist mill for the accommodation of the
farmers. The man who could
come with the capital to build such a
mill the coming Summer, having it
completed and ready for business, by
the time the new crop begins to come
i'll, would do II gool. business from the
start, and would inaugurate an enter
prise of permanent benefit to the town
and the county.
The failure Of the Okabena Mills, we
have before said, was Il calamity to this
community, since they furnished en-
ployment to a number of men, and,
properly conducted, would have drawn
a large sum Of money to this place AN
nually. But they have never met the
wants of the farmers, and have been
looked upon generally 10y all those hay
ing exchanges to make as Il sort of tyr
amy and an injurious monopoly. \
good merchant mill at Worthington
would he a benefit 10 the place, but
such mills do not meet the wants Of
the farmers. Who will inaugurate the
the grist mill enterprise?
