OUR SIDE from the other side sounds at times
rather differently from the way we would choose
to put it. This is the way we read it in a recent
number of the Baltimore Sun
Mr.. Spreckles, a rich sugar reiner of San Fran
cisco, has bought over 20.O09 acres OF barren will
derness in the Hawaiian Islands, hitherto consid-
cred on-agricultural-some dry mountain land,
some swampy. This enterprising man, when our
reciprocity treaty, making island sugar free of
duty, appeared safe of combination, slipped over
and corralled all the sugar for three years ahead.
He is coming money. He is now about TO irrigate
his dry land and to drain the swamps. He will
also make a railway to port. He will then have
plantations of sugar-cane and rice more productive
than any now in cultivation. California gets one
third of its sugar now from the islands. In a few
years this will be doubled. This enterprise has
stirred up the planters everywhere remote from
port, and many are contemplating a regular sys-
TEN of railway in the islands.

England is to guarantee a Turkish loan Of s25.-
900, 600, to be expended under British auspices in
developing the resources Of Asia Minor. Thus the
British nation, by an intelligent imperial policy,
opens new avenues Of trade and commerce Tor
itself, while making her allies her debtors. We
venture to think that the expenditure OF this money
will render perfectly secure the old Turkish loan,
by increasing the wealth Of Turkey and enabling
the Porte to meet its engagements without oppres-
sing its subjects. England is a great commercial
nation. without doubt, and the Arabs and Jews
will yet wear cotton turbans Ia Jerusalem, manu-
featured in Manchester. according to the prophecy
Of Benjamin Disraeli.

view Of the possibility of a recurrence of the old-time
freshets in the valley, which rose in a few hours to
great heights,-the present structure, which is of
wood and well braced, is built upon piers of solid
masonry, and elevated quite above the level of the

banks Of the stream. We remember some years
since. of recommending the erection of an iron
bridge on that same spot as most economical and de-

THE STATE TTCKEr.

In the interest which is felt in the Con
gressional election, the Democratic State
ticket should not be lost sight Of. There
are but three officers to be elected, and as
the nominee for Judge of the Supreme
Court has declined, there. is at present but
two names to consider.
For State Auditor the Democrats have
presented Capt. Mahlon Black, of Hennepin.
Capt. Black is one of the most popular and
most competent men in the State. He is
county auditor at present, and if he
mad wished could have been reelected in
definitely. Every one knows him as plain,
honorable gentleman, and his popularity is
as extensive as his acquaintance. There are
some half dozen Republican papers which
have repudiated their own nominee and ara
flying Mr.. Blacks name at their masthead.
He will poll a very large Republican vote, as
well as that of every Democrat in the State.
Dillon O'Brien, the candidate for Clerk of
the supreme Court, is a man without re-
proach. He deserves more than the empty
honor of nomination. In season and out
OF season he has labored to advance the
party, and now that the party has the oppor
tanlty to reciprocate it should give him a.

AN UNHOLY CONSPIRACY.

Desi ed to Defeat the Election of Yoorhees
to the Senate.
Washington Special (Oct. 49, to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
A movement has been begun. and the de-
tails arranged, to defeat Hon. D. w. Voor-
hees' return to the Senate. It had its origin
with the executive committee of the National
Banking association, and has enlisted in it's
efforts nearly every newspaper in the city of
New York. The plan is to buy enough
members OF the Indiana legislature to defeat
Voorhees,, and concentrate the wealth and
influence of the National banks to secure in
his stead the banker, English, of Indianapo
LIS. The banks having failed, with their Law
lsh expenditure of money in Ohio and
Indiana, to secure the Congressional delega-
lions, they propose hereafter not to attempt
to buy the people outright, but to endeavor
70 puy legislatures, or enough votes
Ill them to defeat any and all
candidates inimical to their interests.
A very significant circumstances in connec-
ton with this onslaught on Voorhees, is that
leading editorials in one or two of the New
York newspapers have already appeared de-
nouncing him and suggesting English as his

use of his own and the money which Will be
at his disposal from the banks he can OBJ

Prominent parties in this city who are cog
INFANT of these facts say that all the details
OF this audacious scheme were arranged in
advance of the election in Indiana, and that
not only the national banks, but prom
inent Republicans also, are allied
together to defeat the popular cham
plon OF the people. It is well, there
fore, for the Democratic members of the In
diana legislature to be thus forewarned of
the influences which are to be set against
them. English is to be pressed as Demo-
crat, but behind the canvass, which will be
made in his interest, will be the money
changers and the administration. His cleo
ton, at the expense of Voorhees, defeat, will
rob the people of Indiana of all the sub
stantial results of last Tuesdays glorious
victory. There are, too, those who say that,
while Senator Mcdonald may not be in
league with those working for English's
election, his frequent visits to New York are,
to say the least, suspicious, when viewed in
the light of events now Transporting.

The nomination Of that blue-ribbon bath
erskite, Hodges. for the legislature, by the De-

ABoLIsHsTHE BRASS KETTLES.

Washburn and his champions declare that
it is impossible to test grain any other way
save by use of the brass kettles. Itappears,
however, that the State did at one time
abolish the fraud and the following section
was placed upon the statute book:
Sec. 8. That all wheat or other grain to be
tested for the purpose of fixing It's grade, price
or value, shall be tested by measuring one half
bushel of each lot SO to be tested, in the sealed
half bushel authorized by law. and the half
bushel OF grain measured shall then be
weighed upon duly tested authorized scales or
balances, and the weight so ascertained shall
be taken as the true. weight thereof
and the grade shall be fixed ac-
cordingly. That no other device shall be used
in grading wheat or other grain than that
above named, and any person who shall other
wise grade grain not his own, shall for every
such offense, on conviction thereof, be find IN
any sum not exceeding 300, at the discretion
of the court.
Approved March 6, 1869.
Under this law the brass kettles were shut
out of the State, and some parties violating
the law were arrested and convicted. The
wheat ring then came in and secured the re-
peal of the law. This proves that the matter
of grading can be regulated by law, and it
already has been.
