St. Louis Republican; The New York Times, which is . Republicsr paper of great sagacity and discre- tion, has the following to say con corning the result of the conferehce recently held at Niagara Falls, by the democratic state central commit tee. Looking at the matter from 2 presumably disnterested stand pom the views of the Times upon this matter are entitled to much greater credit than those of the narrow minded partisans whose opinions Of Mir. Tildens strength are warped by their prejudices rather than moulded by their better judgment. This Is it's language:
 "The Tilden and anti Tilden fac tions of the democracy arc discuss ing with apparent bitterness the re- sult-of the Niagara Falls conference of their State Central Committee. Each claims victory. It is un, mistakable, however. that the Tilden men were in the majority, and that whatever was left undone to proclaim this fact is due to the p'agnaninity, not the weakness of tLat majority. Under similar circumstances, Tam many would have had a scalp,dance to celebrate their victory over their enemies. The organization which formally and openly defied Tilden and Robinson, just before going to the conference, would not have been satisfied with securing a majority of votes in the committee. The dis erect counsels of the sage of Ora mercy park, however, are not what the selt sufficient and hot headed Kelly, would have ordered to be done. Of course there will now be a struggle over the election of dele gates to the State convention. Til- den's wlse moderation has half-dis- armed his foes, and ,has made the eyentful surrender ot Tammanv much more easy than would have been possible, ifhis men had retort- ed upon Tammany with insults and defiance.

New York Sun On Friday last. at Block Island, in speaking of Mir
 Tiiden in the presence of several gentlemen we'll known to the coun- try, Mir. Justice Miller said ds "He was elected in Louisiana; that is, he got eight or ten thousand more act ualIvotes than Hayes" The vote of Louisiana belonged to Tilden; Til den was legally elected president of the United States. in 1876; Hayes has no right to be in the White House; the decision of the electoral toral commission was fraudulent and false, and in the face of the facts all this is truth that has already passed into history. But as far as we know, no one of the Eight who consummated the Fraud had ever confessed this truth until Justice Miller confessed Ut at Block Island. It is most extraordinary and most humiliating confession to come from the lips of man who has been henored and trusted by the people of the United States, as Mr.. Justice Miller has been honored and trusted.

Temperance i'm Elk River,

From the Sherburne County Star,
There was another rouslng temper
ance meeting at Court House Hall on
Sunday evening, and the usual enthu>
siasm displayed Instead Of the att end
ance and interest in these meetings de.
creasing, as We at first thought it would,
we are glad to say that it is increasing,
until now over half Of the entire pop
u'ation of our town are members of the
club, and are decidedly opposed to all
lowing any liquor to be sold here. The
meeting on Sunday evening was, to
our mind, the most interesting one
yet, the rule limiting speakers to five
minutes, working splendidly. A mo-
ton that the president be authorized
to appoint secretly vigilance commits
tee to watch the places where liquor
has been sold; and to procure evidence
to prosecute any one who may be
caught violating the law, was adopted.
The ladies are to be called upon for an
expression of their views next Sun day
night, when another crowded house
may be expected.

From the St. Paul Globe.
The politicians are astonished to
discover that the brass kettle campaign
is renewed IN the Legislature and
that the war is a vigorous one.
Some ten or twelve bills, and resolu>
tions almost without number, have all
ready been offered and more are in
prospect. There is general feeling
and determination to give the produce
ers some protection from the wheat
rings, composed of mil]ers and shippers,
which band together and make com>
mon cause against the farmer. The
Globe welcomes and endorses this
movement. The brass kettle cry was
no campaign shibboleth, but an earnest
and serious effort to advance the pro-
ducing interest of the State. All
wealth and prosperity must ultimately
be traced to the soil, and any combi-
nation or device which robs the soil
must necessarily impoverish the entire
community.

Reso7ved, That IN our opinion the
building Of the projected line Of railroad
from Little Falls to Big Stone Lake, via
Sank Centre, Glcnwood and Morris,
would be of great value to the CONNER
cial Interests of Little Falls, and would
be of great benefit to Morrison county by
building up at the county seat large
commercial and manufacturing town.
Resolrcd That in our oninion Morri-
son county should respond in substan-
tial way to aid the building Of said line
Of road, and
Resolrcd, That we not only individu~
ally but collectively as a town and coun-
ty, will give the project all the assistance
our means will allow.
RESOLVED, That we believe the time has
arrived when the commercial interests of
the country through which said road IS
to be built, demand its speedy construc-
ton.
Resolved, That we therefore believe
that we ought to cooperate with the peo~
pie of Sank Centre and other points along
said projected line of road, by appointing
a suitable number Of delegates to repre~
sent Morrison county at the convention
that is called to meet in Sank Centre on
the 23d inst. to organize company or
take such action as may be deemed best
with view to commencing work at an

From the St. Cloud Journal Press.

From the St. Cloud Journal Press,
The question Of "fencing in" or
"tencing out" for Stearns county is
beginning to attract considerable at
tentlon in various localities. At pres
the law requires fencing out, but it is
held that it would be much better and
more economical to fence cattle in and
allow the grain fields to lie out.
Upon further examination and in
quiry We learn that there is consider,
able doubt as to whether Stearns coun>
Fly is required to fence in or fence
out, the final proviso of the act
approved March 9, 1874 (p 1913, ses>
sion laws of 1919 exempting this SEM
ator'al district from the provision of
the herd law. But this whole BUSH
ness appears to involved in such inex>
tricable confusion that the best thing
for the Legislature to do is to pass a
simple herd law and repeal all laws on
the subject previously enacted.

From the Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Dept.
For some months the police have
been watching patiently for dealers in
counterfeit money, being confident that
certain persons were engaged in the
business both at Minneapolis and St.
Paul. This waohfulness, however,
did not promise results until Thursday
night when Detective Hoy discovered
that several counterfeit twenty five
and fifty cent pieces had been offered
and passed at different saloons in the
city. The detective, with his charac-
teristic energy and sagacity, followed
up the clew carefully and soon had the
"dealer in the queer" spotted. About
IL o'clock yesterday morning he found
the man, one Luke Keefe, brother of
the proprietor of the Last Chance, on
the St. Paul road, and arrested him at
a saloon located at the corner of First
street and First Avenue south. The
prisoner, at the time of his arrest,
had S37 of bogus coin in his possess
sion, and did not make any attempt
to conceal or throw it away, taking
his sudden reverse very indlferentIy.
He was placed in the lookup, and
Capt. Hoy will probably turn him over
to the United States marshal.

AS there is no business to come be-
fore grand jury, at the coming term
