sustenalrcc, and when that clement is
wanting, the life Of tile State is in dan

not realize that they are laying the founda-

obligations the most sacred of all, he
cause they can he enforced only by the
high tribunal of conscientious integrity,
arc regarded us Of trivial importance, and
to be set aside at the behcst of pccuniary
interest, it will follow inevitably that good
faith and honesty the chief safeguards

honor and bankruptcy. Minnesota can.
not afford to consign herself to the fate
which awaits her if she by solemn vote

THE Pioneer Press has no occasion to
feel apprchensive about the result Of the
S. Page libel SUIT. Nearly all Of the
newspapers Of the state have commented
upon the case, snd not single one have
we seen that says kind word Of Page,
but on the contrary nearly every one uses
sevcrcr terms concerning the old fellow
than the Press has ever employed when
speaking Of him. S. Page has had libel
suits before, but they have never been
tried, although .wo OF them against the
REGISTER were kept in court for three
years, Tor the purpose, we suppose, OF
A1odifyiug the utterances Of the paper,

and thus endeavor to defer it. The Pho.

for he wants the case tried he can get

mend to the Poneer.Prcss that they stip-

fraud concoctc<l by the legislature to re.
licve that 100000 acre land track from
the constitutional provision by which it
is now impossible TO sell it without u

THE best business men in the state con.
ccde that as Il financial measure. even
though the bonds were fraudulent and
void, it would be better to pay them as
propH sed, for the reason that the whole
country looks upon us as regulators, and
will always treat us us such unless we pay
that claim. II is not enouS h for us to say
that the railroad companies did not fulfill
their contract with the state, nor that the
people were deceived by spccious stories,
nor that the holders obtained the bonds
for {; mere fraction of their face value
The world don't care anything about these
specifications, it knows that we issued our
solemn promises to pay, and supposes
that we did it for a satisfactory considera-
ton, and 1t demands that we pay them or
suffer the disgrace of reputation. We
may whine as much as we choose, but
that wont help us. We may satisfy our.
selves by repeating our grievances, but
the world is saying to us all the time,
redeem your promises and we shall
never cease to hear its voice. Sometime,
ifnot now, this state will settle that demand
and probably at a pccunlary cost much
greater than is required to do it now
Shall We save our reputation by pay.
ing now, or shall we defer, and by ST. do.
ing increase the cost and double the dis.
grace: Consider the consequences and
then vote.

There has bcen considerable inquiry
during the last week about the bond mat.
ter. AS the time for the election ap-
proachcs, the people begin to feel their
responsibility, and they arc anxiously
examining the proposed plan of adjust.
ment and the facts out of which it has
arisen, and tho more they study the more
they see the cnormity of the Holchkiss
plan of reputation. One simple lllustra
ton lays The whole case bare. A asks B
to sign his note to G for 500, Is consents
but takes mortgage upon AS horse and
buggy to secure himself against loss. A
becomes bankrupt and unable to pay. b
being liable tor the debt, takes possession
of the security, worth double the amount
of the note, and holds it as his own, Lut
refuses to pay the note which lie endorsed,
claiming that a made fraudulent rcprescn.
tations to him. Is there a man in the
State that will defend the action of b?
Not one! Now Tor the parallel. Certain
railroad companies asked this State to
issue its bonds upon stated conditions,
one of which being that said companies
should secure the State against loss by q
mortgage upon 100000 acres of land, tllei,
railroad beds and franchises held b,
charters. The State accepted the security
and issued ITS bonds rs agreed, to tht
amount Of Ss,275,00o. The railroad com
panies became bankrupt, the State fore
closed its mortgage, took possession of tn.
lands, Of the road beds and franchises
property worth not less than $4,000, 900
appropriated the same 10 her own us,
and purposes, and has thus far, during
period of eighteen years, refused TO pa.
one dollar OF those bonds either principa
or interest. The State sustains the SAM

l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
TO the contrary are considered as wishing to
continue their subscriptions
2. If any subscribers order the discontinuance
of their newspapers, the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all arrearages are
paid.
g. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the offices to which they are
directed, the law holds them responsible until
they have settled the bills, and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places with
out informing the publisher, and the newspa-
pers are sent to the former direction, they are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.
6. The postmaster who neglects to give the
legal notice of the neglect OF person to take
from the office the newspapers addressed to
