MIR. Stinson is the representative of few
men who have been curse to st. Paul.
Their investments have been a mill stone
about the neck Of the city, and the sooner
all of them can be driven from the city, the
better for st. Paul. This city would,
to day, contain over $4,000 popula-
ton, and, perhaps, 100000 il
SA~SSS
railroad and other enterprises from the city
by their attempted e1tortions which were
little less than highway robbery. The Mil.
waukee & st. Paul road was driven away
from this city with their headquarters owing
to this greedy policy of land sharks. Here
tofore they have been able to find juries whe
Willingly or unwittingly have encouraged
their plundering prices, until it was almos
hopeless to expect to establish any new enter
prise. 1t was high time to create publ,
sentiment which would drive these fellow
from our midst, and We are hopeful that tina
point has been reached. They allow other
to enrich them by improvements, while the,
stand as a stumbling block, neither improv
ing or placinga valuation upon their property
which will enable others to improve. If til,
property OF such men could be confscate,
and devoted to the public good, it would no
compensate for the damage they have alread,
done the city. If divine or some othe
Providence had summoned the men of thi
ilk to (supposed) better world before the,
ever saw st. Paul, it would have been
happy circumstance.
We have now reached the pass when n,
more trifiHg can be allowed. We must rid
over and crush out such obstacles to GU
prosperity as James Stinson, and if We ca,
drive the entire brood, of which he is rep
resentative, from our midst, it would b.
equivalent to adding $4,000 population dur
ing the next five years.
We trust the next jury which sits in judg
ment on similar case will reduce the aware
to nothing. LIST these sharks be laugh
that appeals to juries are dangerous.

MR. HUNTINGTON president of the Contra
Pacific railroad, has paid $220,00O on &C.
count of the Indebtedness of that road to
the government, into the treasury. He pays
it under protest, however, and it is said in
dulges in the hope that Congress may YET
realize the unjustness and illegality of the
statute establishing the Pacific railroad
sinking fund, and repeal the same. He also
intimates that another test case may be made
for the purpose of obtaining hearing be-
fore the supreme court of the United States,
and secure, if possible, a reversal of the de-
cision affirming the constitutionality of the
act in question. We fear his hopes are des-
tined to prove delusive, for the position of
Congress and of the supreme court is SO
manifestly proper and just that to reverse
either would be glaring indignity upon
the people.

The debt-adjusters have, it seems, car
ried Virginia. The "adjustment'' they
propose amounts simply to reputation
This result was brought about through the
fundamentally of the Republican party,
which succeeded in influencing the negroes
to vote against the debt-payers, by assuring
them that the debt was contracted before
the war when they were slaves, and that the
proposition to pay it now was simply a
scheme Of their old masters to rob them of
whatever property they bad accumulated
through their industry and frugality. The
lie worked we'll. But Republican papers
ought to be moro careful in the future as to
their denunciation of Democratic repudia-
tors.

ARIGHEEOUs VERDICT.


No event has occurred in long time as
suspicious for the future of st. Paul 40 the
verdict in the district court yesterday, rela-
tive to the award of damages to James Stin-
son for property condemned for railroad
purposes. The history of the case, in brief,
is that the Chicago, st. Paul & Minneapolis
railroad desired some property belonging to
MIR. Stinson, located near the junction at
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba shops.
AS MIR. Stinson's price was, ss usual, extor>
tionate, the railroad company resorted to
legal measures to secure it. A suit for con-
domination was begun, and Messrs. D
Day, William Lindeke, and Albert
Armstrong, were appointed q com
mission to fix the value. The commission
proceeded to investigate the matter, and
finally awarded Mr.. stinson $s,312.25.
From the decision he appealed, and after a
sharply contested suit, tho jury yesterday re-
turned a verdict precisely the same a. the
award given by the commission.
We believe this is the first time where an
appeal has been taken from the award Of a
commission in this city, without securing
some advance at the hands of Jury. There
are generally such diverse views as to the value
of real estate that out of the multiplicity of
counsels the juries have given the benefit of
the doubt to Improperly owner, concluding
that the railroad company should be mulcted
on general principles.
The verdict in this case shows healthier
public sentiment and an evident determine
ton to look at matters from rational stand
point. The disgusting greed of MI. Stinson
overreached itself and undoubtedly aided
in securing the excellent verdict. He had

The Question Again Raised in tho So-Call.d
Gambling Cases at St. Lou!s-Appeal tn

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-E. H. Brown, manager
of the Western Associated telegraph Office

before that body Monday next, and bring With
him all kilograms which passed between cer-
tain parties alleged to have been connected

the dispatches and will be committed to jail
Tor contempt, and the case taken to sne State
supreme court at once. Two courts here. the
criminal and court of appeals, have already
decided these kilograms must be produced, but
the telegraph company seems determined ito
contest the question in the higher courts, and
will probably carry it to the United States su-
preme court.

light, as it danced and scintillated from the
surface of a thousand brilliant objects, con-
| splred to make scene that was exceedingly
