1t hardly seems as if there was any
earthly use in our endeayoring to stir
the people and have one day in each
month set apart as a market day. We
have repeatedly urged the many bene-
fits to be derived, both to the mer-
chants and to the farmers. We have
asked both to cooperate and appoint
such day, but it seems as if there was
no getting folks out Of the old rut.
Other towns and villages have one day
in each month devoted to such a pur-
pose, and it is found to work very ad-
vantageously, and there is no reason
why we should be behind other places.
If it is Of any advantage, and we think
there are none who will but admit that
it is, why not take the matter in hand,
and have it understood that certain
day has been SO set apart, it will not
cost anything, and will be of great ben
eft. The merchants and every busi-
ness man in this village is interested,
and they should use their endeavors to
have it advertised. The farmers would
be glad to cooperate as it has many
advantages for them, for it brings buy
ers and sellers together, makes compe-
tition, and draws trade. If any have
any suggestions to make, we will glad.
ly devote part of our columns, and
also do our utmost toward making any
measures or suggestions as public as
possible.

The last rail that completes the line
from st. Paul to Winnepeg, and unites
Minnesota and Manitoba, was laid last
Monday. The completion of this line
is Of vast Importance to the whole
Northwest, and to this State in partic-
ular, as it not only gives us rapid and
prompt communication with our neigh
bors, but also enables us to transact
business during the entire season. 1t
is also valuable in many other respects,
the most important of which is perhaps
the large trade it viii bring to our
cities, and the increased traffic on this
line of road. Heretofore the st. Paul
& Pacific has been dependent upon the
trade drawn from newly settled por-
tion of country, the amount of
traffic decreasing az it approached its
terminous, which, of course, had an
effect to increase the freight rates, as
the business was confined to a local
traffic. Now the terminus is in a well
settled country. and at prosperous

put him out In few minutes, however,
he again returned, and shrieking, yowling,
and dancing about the room, succeeded in
grabbing the lantern and throwing it into

danger of a fire, quickly snatched the Ian.

man in short order. HE was finally ar
rested.

At a meeting Of the County Com
,missioners last Friday, Mr.. R. M.
Richardson presented his bond as Reg
lister of Deeds, which was accepted by
the board. Mr. Tcrpey will retire
from the office until the question is de-
cided by the court, Mr.. Richardson
taking possession in few days. The
main points in the defence will prob
ably be on the question as to whether
the people can be deprived of their
rights of franchise. This is a question
which will have to be passed upon and
decided by the Judge, and it will de-
eide the contest; yet there are other
questions involved, and it is just as
probable that the decision may be
favorable to Mr.. Torpey. as it is that
it will be against him. Mr.. Torpey
was advised by his counsel to quietly
give Mr.. Richardson possession, as in
the event of an unfaVorable decision,
he could be held accountable in the
sum Of $50 per day, for each day he
held the office after the expiration OF
his term.

The following comments on the Pres
ident's Message, are clipped from the
leading papers of the State, and are
worth reading, as they show the esti-
nation of the document from different
standpoints:
Pioneer Press.
President Hayes second annual message
is sensibly short and goes direct to the
point. There is little padding or verbiage
about it. True enough, it begins as if his
private secretary had mixed his papers and
substituted some sheets of Thanksgiving
proclamation for the exordium of the mes
sage, but it doesn't run long in this chan
mel. Justly the southern question occupies
the first place among the matters of state
treated of, and it is this portion of The
message which will be read with the live
liest interest. The reading will inspire no
sentiments Of regret in the sincere friends
of the president He treats the situation
in the South temperately, firmly, under
standingly, with a clear perception of the
crimes against personal Freedom and the
rights of suffrage committed by the white
leaders in the South; but with an equally
clear understanding of the limits of the
authority charged by the constitution with
the punishment of those crimes, and the
protection of those rights.
Globe
Mr. r. B. Hayes, citizen of Ohio, who,
by sufferance of the people of the United
States, holds the Office of President, yes
terday submitted his annual message to
| Congress. 1t is not document Of excep-
! tional length, nor yet of exceptional bril-
iancy, and were it not for the fact that it
emanates from a person holding high
official position, it would command little
attention.
Dispatch
| The second annual message of President
| Hayes, which we print to-day, is straight
| forward business document, briefly re-
viewing the operations of the several exec
utive departments during the past year and
making only such recommendations as the
condition of the public services and public
interests seem to require.
Minneapolis Tribune.
Since the close of the war no state paper
| has been anticipated with as much genuine
| curiosity and eager interest as the second
annual message of President Hayes, de-
livered yesterday. Its contents had been
so carefully protected from publicity that
the most intimate friends of the President
had no exact information regarding it, and
only from informal conversations, in which
the President very sparingly expressed his
disappointment at the f1agrann violations
of the electoral laws in the South, could
the tone of the message be foreshadowed.
That part of the document which refers
to the Southern outrages is temperate and
well digested, but firm and unequivocal,
