THE DRIVE WELLS.

The people Of the larger cities and
more thlckly settled counties of this
State have been thrown into great
excitement by Col. Green & Co., the
patentees Of the Ssdriye welIs,'' de-
handing Of the owners Of such wells
a royalty of ten dollars on every
drive well within the State. But
little attention was paid to this drive
well trouble as long as the patentees
confined their field Of operation to
Minneapolis, but now that the wave
has reached all over the State the
whole country is up in arms. Many
have stepped up and forked over their
little ten dollars while many others
refuse to do so, and meetings have
been held in Winona, Lake City,
Pennington and other places, at
which it was resolved to fight the
outrage to the bitter end. Anti.
Drive Well Associations have been
formed, the members of which agree
to pay pro rata amounts to carry the
matter up to the United States Su-
.preme Court. Already suits have
been brought against many Of the
parties refusing to pay, and they are
Modified to appear, ETC., at a cost Of
over forty dollars each. While many

The election Of a Democrat to
Congress from this State is of such
rare occurrence that when one does
squeeze in, the party leaders gener-
ally make the most oft. Hon. Henry
Pghler visited St. Paul last week
and was banqueted in grand style.
All the prominent Democrats of St.
Paul were present as also was Sena-
tor A. u. Rice, Of Kandiyohi county.
The valient Senator made speech
in which he took occasion to say
that to the Scandinaviens more than
anyone else Major Strait owed his
defeat, and gloried in the part he
had taken to bring that end about;
which leads the Willmar Republican
to say that the conspicuous and very
peculiar part taken by the Senator
has greatly surprised his party
friends at home.

An unknown man committed sui
eide in a novel manner in st. Paul
last Sunday, at the hour of midnight.
He walked out onto the bridge span.
ming the Mississippi river, and from
the impress left in the SILL ht fall of
snow it is inferred that he deliberate
ly climbed over the railing and sus-
pended himself over the river from
the flooring Of the bridge, grasping
the edge with both hands. Then re.
leasing his right hand he raised a
pistol and shot himself and then
dropped into the river, one humid
red feet below. AS soon as he
touched the water he uttered pitious
cries for help, but the few people up
at that late hour in the vicinity were
unable to render any assistance and
the poor wretch sank beneath the
water still grooming for help.

OF $50, and by their rejection by the

The st. Paul Globe, the leading
Democratic journal of Minnesota,
looks rather gloomily into the fu-
ture. It says:
It cannot be denied, and it will
do no good to conceal the fact, that
the Republican party has made great
gains over the Presidential election
Of two years ago, and if its advan-
tage is maintained up to the date of
the next Presidential election it will
select the man who is to occupy the
White House from 1881 to 1885.
The odds are against Us in 1880. =

NUMBER 48.

applied to the facilitating of future
labor wherever something is
reserved from Immediate consump-
ton, and made to serve in future
production, there is capital Or, a.
gain, capital consists Of the accum.
ulated wealth Of the past, and every
thing which in any way produces
the things that we want. Assuming
the general correctness Of these defni
tons, it is evident, that whatever is
acquired by any one over and above
the Immediate demands of his life is
his capital.
2. Hence, capitalists are those who
have more than enough to satisfy
their present necessities. There are
small as well as large capitalists: The
man, spoken of in the last Pioneer.
Press, who went into certain town
in this State with fifty dollars over.
and above what he needed for his
Immediate wants, was capitalist to
that amount. The fact that he
made, by loaning that capital, three
hundred and fifty dollars additional
in three years, shows he was as true
capitalist as man with one hundred
thousand dollars more than was de-
manded by his Immediate wants. IF
a mans weekly expenses is six dol
lars and his income is eight he will
have capital Of two dollars which
he may loan as a capitalist, or
squander or a spendthirft; but men
whose weekly surplus is so small are
not usually called capitalists. Per-
haps, however, it would be better
sometimes to recognize them as,
such. Small capitalists come, in
time, to be large capitalists; but Of
this we shall speak hereafter.

of the royalty others advise settle
ment with the sharks, = rather than
stand the expense and vexation Of a

on our people, but as the owners of

from the courts sustaining the pa
tent, tits not advisable, in our opin-
ion, for parties owning such wells,
to attempt to resist the payment Of
the amount demanded.
