TAKING THE CENSUS.

If there is, as claimed by the Republican
members of the federal House, constitu-
| tional provision requiring United States
marshals to take the census, that provision
ought to be abrogated without unnecessary
delay. It gives too great power to the
political party happening to have the ascen-
dancy, and is dangerous to the very exist
ence of the republic. 1t will readily be seen
that it is an easy matter for marshal to
exaggerate the population of any particular
Congressional district in which his party
may have majority, and thus to increase
it's representation in the next House. He
could also make it appear that districts
where his party is in the minority had
less population than correct census would
show, and thus it would be deprived of its
rightful representation in Congress. This
has been done in the past to slight OK
TENT it may be carried still further in the
future, and there is especial danger of it at
the present time, when the parties are SO
nearly evenly balanced and when single
member may turn the scale in Congress.
We do not charge that all United States
marshals would be guilty of such an act of
injustice, but some of them are not of su-
perior virtue and would be capable of any
act which promised to advance the interests
of their party. This is especially the case
at the South. The federal officials in that
section ale for the most part a set of uncon-
scionable scalawags, ready to lend them
selves at any moment to any rascality that
ington. The Republican party is now en-
gagged in life and death struggle, and will
resort to any means by which to regain the
power they have lost. While we do not
charge that the mass of that party-the rank
and fle-would stoop to disreputable means,
experience has shown that the active man
ayers are men upon whom no reliance can be
placad. They regard fealty to party as a
higher duty than honorable conduct, and
will require of those who depend upon that
party for their official positions an absolute
acquiescence in their demands. We have no
confidence that those demands will be either
honorable or patriotic.
The proper method for taking the census
is that advocated by Mr.. Cox, of New York.
The whole subject ought to be left to the
several States. The governors of each of
these States can appoint the census takers
as most of them do each half decade-and
through these more reliable enumeration
would tie obtained. There is no danger that
these will be influenced by party obligations
to as great an extent as the federal marshals,
and even if they we're less injustice would
be done, for in different States they woulsss
owe allegiance to different parties. There
would be lack of motive for classifying the
enumeration. Each person so appointed
would have local pride that would induce
him to make a record for accuracy that
would deter him from committing any overt
acts such as have been referred to. We are
decidedly of the opinion that Mr.. Cox's
proposition should prevail.

at which the various insolvency bills were
considered. The so-called Warner bill, in
troauced in the House by Mr.. Mead, was
deemed too cumbrous to be practical, and
though many of it's features were highly
commended, it was decided to report by sub
stltute brief bill containing the salient

necessity of passing some bill that, if not
absolutely perfect, will save our business
men from the danger that menace them
under the existing order of things.

THE ABOLITION OF Il USELESS OF
FICE.

The House yesterday, by vote of So to
A, recommended the bill abolishing the
office of railroad commissioner for passage.
There was long discussion, in which Il a
opponents of the measure sought to prove
that the Office was not only needfuI to pro-
tect the people from the rapacity of the rail-
roads, but to see that they kept their tracks
and bridges in repair, and also to see that
the lands sold by them were properly listed
for taxation. Their arguments were sinpu-
larly alike, so similar, indeed, that the con-
cluson was irresistible that they had all
been ''coached' by the same person from the
same state of facts. Two of the speeches
were so nearly alike-almost verbatim-that
they caused considerable amusement. The
friends of the bill did not make as many or
as strong points as the subject allowed, but
they succeeded, nevertheless, in convincing
the majority of the members that the Office
was an unnecessary one, and that its duties
could be performed just as we'll by an ordi-
nary clerk in another department as by an
independent officer.

never has done any such thing and never

Such an inspection, to be of any service to
the public, should be made by competent

charge of neglecting their tracks or bridges
is one that cannot lie against the railroad
companies, however open to criticism they
may be in other respects. They are more
interested than their patrons in having their
tracks we'll laid and their bridges substantial,
for they are the principal losers by whatever
accidents may occur. They not only lose

Hon. John C.. Riebe.

Glencoe, Mcleod county, was born near Stettin,
Prussia, May 6, 1910. He lived in the old coun-
try and attended the common schools until he
was nearly twenty years of age. His twentieth
birthday took place ON the ocean as he was COM
ing to America. On the 9Th Of May, 1861 he
landed in New York. In his native country he
followed for some years the occupation of a
barber, dentistry, and one of the surgical
branches, as in that country they are sometimes
all carried on under one head and in unison
After his arrival in this country he followed
one or more of those callings. The spring of
1860 he came out to Wisconsin, went back that
winter; remained in Boston until the spring of
1861, then came to st. Paul, Mimi; remained
until 1854 with Gen. Pope portion of that

Dora Miller. Summer of 1864 he enlisted in
the Eleventh Minnesota. The spring of 1865
he settl led on a homestead at Howard Lake,
Wright county; sold out the spring of 1871; re-
moved to Mcleod county and opened store of
general merchandise; followed that up to 1877,
then began dealing exclusively in agricultural
implements, which business he has continued
up to date. His politics are Republican, but
they ignored him in the convention, so his
friends trotted him out independent; then the
other Repubs. backed down and came over
from Macedonia and helped him.

THE HOUSE.

The morning session of the House was un-
eventful. Scarcely anything but the dull
monotony of the reading of bills and the
roll-call could be heard. little diversion
was created by debate on the Senate bill
forbidding the expectation of game from the
State. 1t was obnoxious to many, and re-
ceived its quietus promptly.
The afternoon session was consumed in
the discussion in committee of the whole on
two measures-Mr. Jones' bill for consti-
tutional amendment providing for the cleo
ton of county judges in all counties with a
population of 10000 or over, and the bill
abolishing the Office of railroad commission
or. MIR. Jones explained the advantages of
his bill in powerful and exhaustive speech,
in which he expressed the hope that the
legislature would do something practical in
the way of carrying out their professions of
reform. His effort was of no avail, however,
as the bill was recommended for indefinite
postponement. A lively time ensued on the
question of abolishing the Office of railroad
commissioner. The whole controversy was
traversed once more, about score of the
speaking members reiterating the points
previously made with more or less force
The advocates of the bill had decided ad-
vantage. After everybody had wearied of
the debate a vote was had, ard the bill was
recommended for passage and the report
adopted by the House amid considerable
confusion.

ty, made his appearance in his seat yester-

HASTINGS, Feb. 10, 1s79.-In your issue of

upon its return home. John Free was arraipned
for the offense Monday, and from the evidence
rendered by eye witness at River Falls. it
seems so revolving that it beat. my record.
Frees own testimony proved that the sixteen
miles were driven in less than ninety minutes
that on arrival at the Falls he stood the team
on the street for long time unblanketed; that
when they showed evidence of uneaslness, he
kicked them in the flank and inflicted blows
on the head and legs till the near horse gave
up. Free demanded jury trial, which was
granted. He had no attorney to defend him.
Mr.. Jasper Searls, the district attorney, tried
the case on behalf of the State. It appears
from what gather, that before an arrest was
made, Mr.. Searls was consulted the case,
and on the strength of his advice, Mr.. Damerel,
the livery man, procured witne sses from River
Falls, but on opening the case he emphatically
told the jury that any act Of cruelty which
transpired out of the State the jury had no uris-
diction over, which so hampered and barrassed
the jury that they were obliged to let the pris-
oner CO.. Although there was not man on
that jury but felt it was a brutal outrage, an d

attorney left us no alternative.
