1t would seem as though the mail
agents on the St. Paul and Pacific road
ought to be able, by this time, to throw
the St. Cloud mail So that good share
of it will not go up.the Brainerd or
the Melrose branch. Scarcely a day
passes but they send: a considerable
part of our mail by, to come back by
the next train.

The old song "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to give US ALL a farm" is a
mockery, for the old fellow is so poor
that be can't afford to pay the printer
more than half the legal rates allowed
by the State of. Minnesota. But
when the democrats come into power
they begin to retrench by swindling
the printers.
From the Alexandria Post.
.--2tarners~are waiting for Ssate seed
grain.
Land buyers are swarming in Doug
las County and prices are going up.
Several sales have been made during
the past week.
Auditor VonBaumbach finds that
but little seed wheat can he bought in
this county for less than s1.05, which
price the State refuses to pay. It is
probable that the State seed grain for
Douglas County will be sent from Min.
neapolis by rail to Melrose, Morris
and Hermon, and will, probably, be
supplied early next week. 49,.
A number of legal voters of the
town Of Alexandria were disfranchised
last Tuesday by the closing Of the polls
more than one hour before the time
fixed by law. For this reason, some
of the officers elect refuse to- qualify :.
The ticket elected was a good one
throughout, but the Post thinks that
none Of the candidates were lawfully
chosen, and sees no remedy but: in the
meek sutfrance Of the people or . new
election. We think a new election
the safer and better RENE dy. :"
