FAlRMONT,

Threshing is in progress, wheat yielding
10 or ~ bushels per acre, while oats pan out
all the way from so to 80 bushels per acre.
Wild game of all kinds plentiful in this
section and sportsmen from different parts

Politics are quiet here. Wakefield seems
to have the preference amorg the local
politicians, but it is my opinion that some
other good Southern Minnesota Republican
would suit the masses fully as we'll, if not
better.
A very unfortunate and distressing acct
dent happened to Stella, bright little IL or
10 year old daughter of DR.. II. N. Rice, of
this place. The children were enjoying
themselves at archery, when by accident 8
misguided arrow from the bow of play
mate hit the young girl in the right eye,
completely destroying it forever. The event
has caused universal sorrow throughout the
town.

long ago, and resumption would have been
fat failure. Reconciliation inspired
confidence in the disposition and ability of
the government to pay all its paper issues,
and this confidence being complete, no one
cared to burden themselves with coin when
paper would serve their purpose better.
This, combined with abundant hsrvests and
a revival of tradsand industry brought the
greenback to par, where it still remains, and
where it always ought to have been. Had it
not been dishonored by the government that
issued it, but received as a legal tender for all
debts public and private, including duties
on imports and interest on the public debt,
the greenback would never have been at a
discount. The wretched system of finance
naugurated by the Republican party is
blamable for all our business disasters IN the
present decade-frst for the unhealthful
stimulation of trade, and afterwards for the
panic and subsequent extraordinary de-
preston. That party has little to boast of
in that direction, but much to be ashamed
of, and it would be becoming in Mr.. Sher-
man to say less upon the subject.

CATHOLIC COLONIES cION IN MIN
NESOT1.

NESOT1.
The Catholic colonization movement, set
on foot by Bishop Ireland and under his i'm
mediate charge, had for it's objects, as we
judge, the interests Of the Catholic church
in the West and the benefting of those of
its members whose material prosperity, So
cial and moral, would be greatly improved
by leaving the overcrowded cities of the
East, where they toll in poverty for others,
and inducing them to come to our broad,
fertile prairies where they have the oppor-
unity to toll for themselves, with the hope
of an independent future
Recognizing the sincerity of the actors
and admiring the zeal with which they la
bored for their own people, the movement
has from the beginning secured the hearty
good wishes of our citizens in general and
the active aid of many Of them connected
with land grants and railroads. -.

About 6:3O last evening, Toms running
capacity, as we'll as his wind, we're fully
tested and this is how it happened. At the
hour named he happened to be passing
along Eagle street, when his attention was
attracted by loud talk and wrangling at No.
S3-Hattie McBride's den of iniquity.
On nearing the place the officer found one
Barney Smith, a gent of decidedly fragrant
repute, who seemed intent on raising the
devil generally. On being ordered to stop
his noise and 60 off, Smith told the officer
fatty he would do nothing of the kind;
that it was house and be
intended to stay as long as be
pleased. Not content with this positive and
unmistakable answer, the ruffian reached
oot and gave the officer lively clip on the
cheek, which brought the claret and also
knocked him fat upon mother earth. Nor
did he stop here, but commenced knocking
away at the PROSTATE man with all his might
and main.
But presently Mcmahon recovered his feet,
and then came his turn IN the blood-spilling
fir cas-. Drawing his billy. Thomas planted
three whacks upon the skull CT the fellow,
the last of which sent him sprawling upon
the ground, stunned with pain and Devil
dered by the flowing blood. But before the
officer could secure his prize, Smith regained
mis- feet and started off up the railway track
in the direction of the bridge.
Then commenced regular John Gilpin
race, which finally eliminated in almost q
neck and neck trial of speed. Arriv-
ing at the Short line, Smith
following that track for some distance and
finding the officer close upon his heels, es-
sayesl TO circumvent further pursuit by slid
ing down the bluff. But Thomas, blood
vas up end he intended to catch his man if
he had &c take the leap of Curtius. So
Town the bluff he too, went, and the race
went on, until near the bridge, when Officer
Robert Palmer suddenly appeared on the
scene.
Smith still resisted, however, and it was
some time before he could be conquered
and taken in charge. But after he had been
arrested he continued to resist, and several
times on the way down to the city hall fought
his captors with most logged persistence.
By the time the city hall was reached an
immense crowd of men and urchins of every
size, description and quality had joined the
procession, which would have filled every
nook and corner in the Jail had permission
to enter been allowed.
The desperate was at last safely landed in
Jail in q somewhat d. moralized plight, and

an affinity in one of the inmates at the place
where the fracas began.

TIE REPUBLICAN, PARTY IND THE
FINANCES,

FINANCES.
In Mr.. Sherman's Steubenville speech he
thus pictured the effects of the resumption
act:
Every step under the resumption act has
tendency to produce easy times and restore
confidence; to reduce prices; to advance the
value OF our currency; and to lead us gently
slowly, and surely to the specie standard
There was not prophecy IF evil made as to
the progress of resumption or it success tina,
was not falsiAed. When the time came for re-
sumption every dollar of paper was equal to
coin. The same amount of paper money was
outstanding as before, but spirit of trust and
confidence took possession of all classes of
people. Business revived and prosperity again
commenced. F
For all this great good Mr. Sherman de-
olared that tho Republican party deserved
the sole credit, simply because the 1esump
ton act was passed by Republican Con-
gress, and approved by Republican Presi
dent. We have already demonstrated the
faiiaoy of such claim-have shown that re-
sumption was one of the consequences Of
the revival Of trade and not the cause, and
would have been impossible but for the i'm.
provement in our business prospects brought
about by purely natural causes. But there
was another element tending towards re-
sumption for which the Republican party is
not responsible, and which Mr.. Sherman
very singularly overlooked. We allude to
the reconciliation of silver, in which the
Republicans bore no part but persistently
opposed. It was the work of Democratic
Congress, and contributed more than any
other one thing towards restoring public
confidence in the government and inaugural
ing resumption. It was seen that the
government proposed to honor it's own cur
rency issues, and 1t also largely increased
the ability of the government to pay its
debts. We hazard nothing in saying that
without silver reconciliation the treasury
would have been drained of it's gold reserve
