Democratic Economy.

= We suppose the United States Government
is good for all the debts it contracts, but we
fail to, see any fairness in beating the printer:
down to the very lowest notch, and then keep
him waiting from six. to eight months fora
paltry two or three dollars. It is probably
one Of the results of Democratic ECONOMY. -
6herburne County Star. .....'..
We remember very distinctly that
printers had to wait from six to eight
months for their pay when the control
of fthe government was entirely in the
hands Of the Republicans. II is true
chat the government did not then s'beat
the printer down to the very lowest
NOTCH" nor did il; beat anybody down
who was supposed to have influence
with the voters. But the Democratic
House determined that expenses must
be cut down regardless Of political in>
aucnce, and persons who print for the
government must stand their share of
the reduction. That is: right, too.

Temperance in Elk RiVer.

From the Sherburne County Star.
Temperance is the all absorbing top
ic of discussion in Elk River this week
and it begins to look as though the
people were in earnest this time and
meant to accomplish something. A
| meeting of the citizens of Elk River
and vicinity was held at Court House
Hall, last evening, for the purpose of
exchanging views on the subject, and
| to see if something could not be done
to close up the saloons, and stop the
sale Of liquor in our town. There was
very good attendance, and great in
terest> manifested. Mr.. Glassford
called the meeting to order, and an op~
portunity was gwen those who had
not already signed the pledge to come
forward and do so, quite a number
availing themselves Of the chance.
After considerable discussion, the
following resolution was found to meet
the views of the meeting, and was
passed without dissenting voice:
Resozved, That the Chair appoint
Committee of three to notify those who
sell liquor as beverage, that if per-
sisted in after Saturday night, Decem>
Der IA, without the authority Of law,
they shall be prosecuted.
The Chair appointed Messrs. A.
Merrifeld, M. Rouleau and j. Feath>
erstone as such committee.
The following resolution was offered
and unanimously passed:
Resozved, That this meeting appoint
a committee of three to request the
County Commissioners to rescind their
resolution granting license to selliiquor
in Elk River, and that they refuse to
grant such license in the future.
W. M. Jenkens, H. Houjton and
". 7. Struble were elected such COM
mittee.
A subscription paper was started,
for the purpose Of raising funds, for
use in case it was found necessary to
prosecute, and over eighty dollars was
subscribed.
The chair was authorized to appoint
a committe Of three to nominate an
executive committee, and report Sun>
day evening. E. W, B. Harvey, Mr..
Jessup and j. Hubert were appointed
such committee. It was voted that a
copy Of the proceedings Of the meet>
ing be furnished the papers for publi>
cation, but the copy of the Star, was
not handed in until late this morning,
so we have had to make the above re-
port from memory.

Investigate the State Prison.

From the St. Paul Globe,
There is now little doubt that there
will be an investigation into the State
prison management as soon as the Leg
islature meets. The investigation is
demanded in the interests Of humanity
as well as for the business interests of
the State. There is the usual outcry
that all is right, and the Globe is vig>
orously assailed for allowing the con-
victs to tell their stories to the public.
This was to be expected, bat it will
not deter the Globe from continuing
the good work already begun.
All public institutions should be
frequently inspected and Investigated.
1t is the only way to keep officials up
to the line Of duty. IF the officials
have committed no error or offense
they should be willing and anxious to
be investigated. The verbal state>
ments Of convicts which we have re-
ceived, as we'll as the written ones
which we have published, lead to the
belief that all is not right at Stillwa>
ter. In forming, the belief we make
due allowance for the fact that the ev>
idence comes, largely from convicts,
They have been in position to know
and their stories, told,without eollusion,
bear internal evidence of much truth.
The parties accused will, of course,
make the most Of the previous bad
characters Of the witnesses, but as the
investigation proceeds there will be
opportunity to substantiate or disprove
their statements by other witnesses.
The released prisoners, for instance,
uniformly declare that Pat Stack was
murdered a few weeks ago. There
were certainly peculiar circumstan ces
connected with his death, and an in>
.qulry will do no harm. All Of the ad-
yantages of an Investigation are on the
side Of the prison, as the evidence Of
tho convicts must BE corroberated BY

selves they come together in politics
as naturally as two electric currents,
or as readily as the laws of trade aud
reciprocity are adjusted t is the
.eolored man and brother who has dis
appointed the Republicans. When a
Radical Congress put the ballot into
the hands Of the negro, and added a
score or more to Southern representa-
tives in the Electoral College andrthe'
halls Of legislation, it was done to give
the Republican party, permanent con.
troll Of the Government. But the COL
ored citizen found Radical promises Of
f'torty acres and a mule delusion
and a snare. To revenge themselves
upon people whose Influence with
the blacks and whose honest interest
in them is greater than their own,
these Radicals now attempt a revival
Of the era Of hate and sectional strife.
The grossest of aIsehoods and wicked
est of inventions are to be resorted TO-,
and the entire public business prosti>
tuted in the effort to infame the
minds of people at the North who are
unacuuainted with the facts.
Mr.. Blaine followed Hayes mes>
sage with a resolution to raise an "in>
vestigation" committee to set the out>
rage mill ia motion. There may have
been irregularities and unwarrentable
acts iii connection with the recent
elections in some parts of the South.
Such things have transpired in Ohio,
in Pennsylvania, and even Massachu-
setts. But the judicial remedy is
every where ample. Democrats North
and South unite in demanding legal
punishment for every violation Of the
election laws, but in Congress they
will use every endeavor to defeat the
schemes Of these Radical marplots.
And the sublimest exhibition Of cheek
ever witnessed is the spectacle Of
Rutherford B. Hayes talking about
election frauds to Congress that is
in possession of the facts relative to
his own seizure of the presidency,
while holding an office to which he
knows another was overwhelmingly
elected, common decency would seem
to render "e!ection Frauds forbid~
