GLENCOE, Jan. To- ls78.-The trial Of C.
r. Minis late County Treasurer of this
county. is closed, aud he has bean convicted
upon two indictments of the crime of en-
beZZlement.
The first case tried was the indictment for
eInbezzelment Of State funds. The case for
the State was clearly proved the defence in
Producing no evidence to dispute the eyi-
dence of the State, but resting their defence
on tancIed weakness Of the case as made
out by the prosecution. The jury in that
case were out forty eight hours and then
brought In verdict of guilty" finding tho
amount embezzled to be four thousand six
hundred and seven dollars and seventy seven
cents.
The second case tried was upon the indict-
ment for ENLIGHTENMENT of county funds,
This case was similar in the proof and points
raised at the first trial. The jury was out
three days-from Friday until Monday-and
returned verdict of guilty, finding tbs
amount embezzled at about fourteen thou
sand dollars. Sentence has not been passed
as the defendant made motions in each case,
in arrest of judgment, and for new trials,
and the court adjourned until the first OF
March to hear the motions. In the meau-
time Mr.. Minis was remanded to the Sibley
county Jail.
There is a strong feeling of sympathy for
Mr. Minis and his family, in this vicinity,
but under the evidence produced at the trial.
it cannot be disputed that he was liable
under the statute defining embezzlement
The cases were tried by Judge Macdonald,
Attorney General Wilson and County Attor-
ney Fitch for the State and w. G. Irwin of
St. Paul and j. V. Y. Lewis of Hutchinson de-
Tending. It is to be hoped that similar
case will never come before the courts in this
county, OF elsewhere in the State.

Il POLITICAL JUDrCIARY.

ne Republican party has been guilty of
anoerless crimes, false to it's professions
ana 1aise to the people. There are no de-
sfees IN treason, and grades in offences
against civil liberty are merged in treachery.
De1ore the bar Of all history the Republican
party will stand guilty of having converted
me Supreme Court of the United States into
political council, and filled it with third
rate lawyers and politicians. The great
maxim of free govelnment-an abso-
lutte free separation of the departments has
been virtually abrogated by the Republican
politicians.
When the Constitution was being
framed, the power Of the President to ap-
point the judges was bitterly opposed on the
very ground that he would reward political
friends. The Senate was held up as safe
guard against the danger. The Republican
Senate up to this time has been moro ma
chine to register the edicts of the Executive,
especially was this true under Grant.
The celebrated Montesquien is credited
with being the author of the maxim which
requires separation of the powers of gov
eminent, and is always considered the oracle
on that subject, and yet Alexander Hamilton
says, that what Homer has always been
TO the didactic writer's of epic poetry,
the British Constitution was to Montegouien.
ne regarded it as the mirror Of political lib
cry. There 10 no absolute separation of
power under the British Constitution. It
was intended to be accomplished here; the
separation in the United States was intended
TO be as absolute as it was possible to make it.
What has been the result? Altogether in
favor of England, if We institute the com
par1son. The judges are the most learned
men in the law, and no one ever hears of an
English Judge being influenced by political
considerations. How different is it in the
United States? Who can deny but
tnat We have partisan Supreme
Court Where will yon ind more
bitter, more relentless, moro bigoted politi-
cal partisans than Miller, and Bradley and
Harlan? What qualifications did these men
possess Tor the Bench, except that they were
politicians, had done service for the party.
ahe must needs be rewarded?
Is there no remedy? Yes. Wisely OF un-
wisely the people in every State have adopted
the elective judiciary system. There are no
more reasons why the State Judges should
90 elected than the United States judges.

pointing power from the President, and let

we don't want set Of political hacks, OF

trary, contraction began Immediately. No
steps were taken to prepare gradually for the
change. But from the inflated state of the
war times, they proceeded to shrink all val

tire every dollar possible, refused to reissue
even the $44, OO0, 600 reserves, and contracted
until they contracted the people and the
country into the very rigor Of death. All
this was done to increase the price Of the

REPURLICAN OPPRESSION OF THE
LABORINQ CLASSES


L4BORINQ CLASSES.
Every financial act of legislation. every
financial scheme of the Republican party,
since the very first day U. s. Grant became
President Of the United States has been
against the interests of the laboring men and
women of this country. When have such
terrible scenes as occurred last summer been
witnessed in the United States before? His
tory teens with such examples. It was the
beginning Of revolution. Had it Gained
more Roadway, it would have swept soldiers
and all opposition out of the way, as the
wind the chaff.
What were the causes? There we're causes
and substantial causes. The laboring people
had been ground down, robbed, swindled,
starved, worked to death, until in desperation
they turned upon their oppressors Their
immediate employers were not go much to
blame, because they too were struggling to
keep above the waves of Radical and Repub-
ilcan oppression. The whole secret lies in
the simple fact that for eight years Grant
and the Republican party used all the powers
OF the government, all the resources of Ieois-
iation, all the rascality of lobbyists, all the cor
ruptlons Of the most corrupt administration
ever permitted to exist in this country, used
all these forces, we say, in the interests Of
Wall street and its gambling dens.
Grant became President of the United
States at the most critical financial period in
the history of the country. The storm was
ready to burst, the reaction to set in. It
was the part of wise craftsmanship to parry
the blow. The war time had been period
OF great, unlimited imitation. Who was the
author of it3 The Republican party and
Republican politicians. The latter had
filled their pockets with bonds
Y. 8. Bonds-became the owners
OF banks and so on. They at once Proceeded
by gifts and in various ways to load Grant
down with bonds. Grant was committed
against contraction !, he had even expressed
himself in favor of the reissue Of the re-
serves OF an increase of the currency. But
he fell under the weight Of gifts and the in.
duence of the New York bankers.
