A number of citizens of St. Paul
have sent a request to the Pioneer-Press
to discontinue either it's Sunday or
Monday issue. The wicked Pioneer
Press declines and gets out of it by
showing that the signers are not agreed
as to which issue shall be discontinued
and that it is suiting both parties by
publishing paper on both days.
We are not an advocate of Saturday
rs the true Sabbath, but on behalf of
our friends, the Jews, the Seventh Day
Baptists, and others who hold to the
original Sabbath, we most respectfully
request the great Pioneer Press to dis
continue its Saturday issue in defer
ence to the religious sentiments of these
classes. The Pioneer-Press ought to
comply all round, as such compliance
would only involve the suspension of
its issue on three days of the week.
No doubt now some of our home big
OTIS will again say we are encouraging
Sabbath breaking by facetious allu-
sion to this subject, bat we are not.
We believe in a due observance of the
Sabbath. but we do think the extreme
bigotry and intolerance of those who
are always. endeavoring to force their
particular views as to days, creeds,
etc., upon the public, to the disregard
of those who have other views Of days,
creeds, etc., ought to be rebuked when
ever an opportunity arises.

EXTENSION or THE BRANCYL

EXTENSION or THE BEAN CL
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times writes as follows a.
bout the passage of the bill authorizing
he extension of the Worthington &
Sioux Falls railroad from the State line
to Sioux Falls:
It appears that the Worthington and
Sioux Falls Railroad company was Or
ganized to build a road from Worthing-
ton, in Minnesota, to Sioux Falls, in
Dakota Territory. This road is 4
branch of the st. Paul & Sioux City.
THIS branch starts ut Worthington,
and is constructed and completed to
1.u Verne, which is fifteen miles from
the Minnesota State line, and it is ex-
pected will be finished within q short
time to the State line. The bill which,
passed to-day authorized the company
to extend its road from the State line
to Sioux Falls, a town on the Sioux riy-
err, III Dakota Territory, a distance of
fifteen miles. The town of Sioux Falls
voted bonds in aid Of this piece of road
amounting in the aggregate to about
$20,NO. The bill authorizes the CON-
pany to accept the bonds. This action
of the town ought to have been ratified
by the territorial legislature, but us
that legislature only meets biennially.
and Will not convene it was necessary to
get the approval of congress in order to
get the road built without delay. After
agood deal Of questioning and answer
ing, which kept Messrs. Mcmillan and
WINDOW constantly on their feet, the
bill passed,

THE USH FOR LANDS
[MaDkatO Reyiew.1

Rev. Thos. McClary, who Was west
last week on a lecturing tour, writes as
follows from Lu Verne, about the great
rush for lands in Southwestern Mime
sofa. These facts show the necessity
for some legislation that will insure the
building of the projected land grant
railroads penetrating that region:
l Came to Lu Verne on Friday, March
LIST. All the way from Mankato the
cars were crowded with people bound
for the west. Many of them young
men seeking land at Worthingtoli.
The hotel was full, four of us sleeping
in one room. The great cry seems to
be for land, land, and the crowds are
pushing to Sioux Falls and vicinity.
One cannot have much idea of the mag
nitude of this prairie country without
a trip over it. What population it
can support, and how it invites the
starving multitude that hang about the
cities, to come and make themselves
independent. The first thing a man
should do in this country, after build
ing his house, is to set OF trees. There
are but few groves started, and moth
ing could add more to the wealth and
comfort of the country than to have
plenty OF timber. T. MCCLARY.

UBLLSHING THE LAWS.

WEI pleased to announce to our
readers that the good sense OF the Leg
iS1saafnfe got the better of that body in
the contest to abolish publishing the
llaws in the newspapers. Our readers
wwill, as heretofore, have their law sup
pplement which they can file away and
ss'study up at their leisure. The News
ppaper Union says:
The law of 1868 accordingly remains
Hintact, and all papers started prior to
"<)ctober 8, 1877 which are not less than
a5 column folio in size. are entitled to
rthe laws, the State paying as hereto
t'fote, Is cents PER folio, Of 100 words.
what the gross amount due each paper
will be; it is impossible to tell, but it
will probably be considerably less than
last year when it reached $4,000.
The Legislature appropriated $4,000
Tor the current year, and also made an
appropriation for the deficiency OF last
year.
The laws will he issued as soon as the
Secretary of the State can supply copies
and will probably be out about the LIST
of April.

THE VAR.

The terms Of peace between Russia
and Turkey have been signed, and the
conference which is to meet at Berlin
will settle the minor results of the war.
But Russia has settled tho two great
results by her arms, viz: she has driven
Turkey out of Europe and secured con-
troll of the Black Sea. 1t has cost her
about 1900 men.
Thus Alexander at one swoop has
accomplished what his predecessors
have fought to accomplish for centu-
ries. In this connection, it is interest
ing to notice that the vision of Daniel
is fulfilled almost to the day. In that
vision he was shown the dismember.

The Merrill Text Book bill paased by
the skin of it's teeth just on the eve of
the adjournment Of the Legislature.
1t went through with an amendment
allowing the people to take vote in
1880 upon the question of continuing
the Merrill contract. To put the law
into effect it will require the borrowing
of $4,000 by the State and bill was
passed authorizing the State Auditor
to borrow that amount for the purpose.
We believe the bill would have been
more satisfactory if the local option
amendment had been adopted.

TIRED CULTURE BILLS.

The Washington correspondent Of
the st. Paul Pioneer Press writes as
follows concerning the three bills be-
fore Congress for amending or chang
ing the act to promote tree culture on
the prairies: &: s. Mt
A great deal of interest is manifested
by the practical farmers of Minnesota in
bills now pending before congress for
the promotion of tree culture. Messrs.
Stewart, Strait and Dunnell have each
introduced a bill having in
view the same object. Stewarts's bill
was framed in accordance with the
wishes of the legislature and various
agricultural and horticultural societies
of the State, and it provides for the
planting Of ten acres four feet apart and
will be amended so as to permit the set
tier to devote the first year to breaking
the land the second year to cultivation
and t ,ird year to planting the trees.
This bill appears to meet the approval of
the practical farmers of the State, who
have learned by experience that q
greater number Of acres than ten,
planted farther apart than four feet,
is not so desirable, and they have
written here commencing DR..
Stewards bill in the strongest terms.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Dunnell
requires twenty acres to be planted
eighteen feet apart, while Mr.. Straits
bill requires twenty acres to be planted
four by six feet apart. DR.. Stewart 8
bill is intended to be retroactive and
cover the cases of those who attempted
to avail themselves of the benefits of
the law as it. now stands, requiring
forty acres to be planted, provided they
come within the requirements of the
bill and have complied with its provis-
ions. As this is a matter of great i'm
portance to the State, and as it has
been found impracticable to success
fully plant more than ten acres four
feet apart to insure a proper and rapid
growth of forest, I would suggest that
petitions be circulated, and us many
names as possible be obtained, and
forwarded to the respective members
of congress asking for the passage of
the bill.

Still it will come in due time, and
when it does start will commence rs it's
present western terminus and build
westward, and right here let us predict
will intersect the Sioux City Road at
that Identical point where Mr.. Drake
would most dislike to have it.
That identical point is Worthington,
and we believe the Republic is right in
its prediction.

THE LIQUOR CASES.


-Four liquor cases have been before
the Court during the present term.
The Grand Jury found an Indictment
against Mr.. Carr last term but the case
was not tried until last week, and is
not yet disposed of on account of in
formality. The Grand Jury at the
present term found indictments against
Mr.. Law, Mr.. Jones and DR.. Gotthelf.
Mr.. Law and Mr.. Jones did not stand
trial and were each fined $25 by the
Court. DR.. Gotthelf stood trial and
was acquitted It is quite probable
that if Mr.. Law and ~"Mr. Jones had
stood trial they would also have been
acquitted. Mr. Law is druggist, and
has, as he claims, sold liquors as med
icine, and Mr.. Jones is merchant who
procured u gallon and half of alcho-
hol for medical and chemical purposes
and, in one or two instances, let par
ties have of it in cases of sickness.
One OF his neighbors when his wife was
confined came to Mr.. Jones and asked
for alchohol for his wife and Mr.. J.
gave him a.'small quantity.
But under Judge Dickinson's inter-
probation of the law, any one who sells
or furnishes spirituous liquor in any
quantity, even as Il medicine, is violat-
ing the law. The druggist who furn-
lshes it on a physicians prescription is
just as liable as the man who sells it
without a druggists license or physi-
clans prescription. This ruling has
opened the eyes of the people, for it has
been very generally held in the commu-
NIFTY, that liquor might be furnished as
medicine on a physicians prescrip-
ton, and the practice has been to sell
it here for medicinal purposes, either
with or without q prescription.
If Judge Dickinson view of the law
is correct, and we have no reason to
think that it is not so, all who have
sold liquor in this county, under what
ever circumstances, have violated the
law. There are others i'll the county
who have furnished barrels of spirit
uous liquor, ostensib]y for medicinal
purposes, who are escaping the penalty
of tile law, while the light offenders
are being punished. There may have
been. and doubtless was. misapprehen-
sion all round, but if the law is to be
enforced in one case, let it be enforced
! in all.
Let every one who has been selling ill.,
uor, in any form and under any circum-
stances, lie reported.
