city courts with tolerable success, though ptted
against some formidable rivals. In i5i9 the Cali

the Pacific coast promised q grand opening for
young of energy and talent he decided to follow
the tide of transcontnental migration. On reaching
San Francisco he found himself surrounded by a

Hackett formed law partnership with Mr.. Cass-

became involved in a feud with Chief Justice

1t is now question with many, whether
the new school house should be built this
fall, 80 as to be ready for occupancy this
winter, or whether it would not be advis-
able to postpone further action until spring.
There is diversity of opinions on the sub
ject, and although there are many opposed
to the enterprise in toto, yet others who do
not favor building this fall arc actuated by
other and more sensible motives. The
! principal objections are to the latensss of
the season, to the location, and to the small
ness of the grounds. That the latencss of
the season is On objection all must admit,
as there are many preliminary arrange
ments to be made before work is COM
menced, and all this takes time. Bonds
must be negotiated, plan must be agreed
upon, contracts let, and transact the bust
ness with justice to ourselves we must have
| time to find who will let US have money on
the most favorable terms, what plan will
be the most suitable and economical, and
who will erect such a building as we re-
quire in the best manner for the least mon
ey. The objection to locality is a question
now beyond controversy and there is now
no sense in giving it consideration, if we
were to undertake to suit every person in
the district, we would have to build tWen-
ty school houses. The majority selected the
location the minority having no alternative
must acquiesce, and they should do SO
gracefully. The extent of the grounds pur-
chased as sight for the school house is
the main objection, and we would favor
delay, if for no other reason than to allow
of steps being taken to negotiate for the
remainder of the lots in the block, we are
informed that almost if not all the remain
der of the block can be purchased at reas-
enable figures-and rather than not have
the surroundings large and rOomy we would
prefer less building and more grounds. 1t
would be a serious oversight to place q
large and expensive building where there
would be no chance for the children to
amuse themselves without endangering
their lives by being forced to play in the
7 streets, then again school house should be

"The costs in which alone amounted to

"The costs in which alone amounted to
over $100 to the county" If to magnify,
distort and misrepresent, is one of the nec-
essary qualifications of a good lawyer,
think lawyer Harris is in fair way to
reach high rank in his profession. The
judgement and costs in the case amounted
to about $97, and in this connection wish
to repeat some of Judge Browns remarks
in his charge to the jury on the trial Of this
case: II see nothing in this case that should
reflect IN the least on the County Commis-
sioners, there is nothing in our statutes
that provides for case of this kind Our
laws were evidently made with view of
assisting those who become gradually

Judge of this case as well as our illustrious
law giUer MIR Harris, and while admitting
there was no statute law to cover this case
held that the claim should be paid under
the common law, the law of humanity
which requires that the poor must be pro-
vided for. Whether this is sound law, or

The Commissioners are responsible to the
people for all their official acts, they are
not obliged to take the advice of any one,

ty, as they understand it, without regard

Wers the prices of wheat controlled by
any laws of trade, we would say that pros
poets for fair prices during fall and winter
were good-but the wheat market is under
the control of ''bulls" and "bears, and is
in reality in measure removed from the
influences that govern and determine prices
Of other products. There is no doubt but
that every effort will be made by the wheat
ring to overestimate our crop. and in this
way depreciate its value. 1t is not impossi-
BILE to do so, they know full well that many
of the farmers-a large majority-will be
compelled to sell as soon as their crops arc
threshed, they cannot afford to hold fol
better prices, being crowded on all sides by
their creditors. they will be forced to dis
pose of their crop at the prices offered
when they market their grain. The crop
of the State is estimated at 40, 900, ,000bus
els by the tools of the ring, Minnesota will
not have over % ,000,0oO at the very out
side estimate, and to injure and rob th'
people by circulating false estimates of tn
yield is foul crime, compared to whicl
highway robbery is virtue.

The wire used in binding grain is u heavy
tax to the farmers, and we see no reason
why one or two firms should be permitted
to monopolize the manufacture of this ar
ticle and extort exhorbitant prices from
the farmer. Why cannot our St. Paul
capitalists embark in the manufacture OF
wire, it seems as if they could make a
handsome profit and not have it cost twelve
and onehalf cents per pound either. In
this county alone it is estimated that $40,
600 in cash has been paid by farmers fol
the wire used during this harvest.

deferred2 There are none opposed to the
purchase of material for the equipment of

are the business men and property owners
averse TO paying taxes or interest on the
purchase money. Fire in this village in
its present defenceless condition means to
many the loss of their property, to others
financial embarrassment, to some-ruin. 1t
is not a question that can be put off or de-

Now that the harvest is ended, farmers
should make it q point to put their ma
| chinery under cover. One would think
that this suggestion, or advice, was super
tluous and unnecessary, but we regret to
say that sucn is far from being the case.
Those who have travelled on the frontier,
have been sstonished to see the amount of
valuable and expensive machinery ruined
from this one cause We do not know
whether to attribute this extravaganza and
waste, to laziness. or ignorance; but 1t
really appears as if the former was the
cause, for our farmers must know that in
one season, sun, wind, and rain will do
more damage TO o machine than years Of
careful usage. We lave seen new and
costly harvesting machines taken to the
fields and used probably for ten or fifteen
days, and then left exposed Tor whole
year, right on the field where last used. OF
course the machine was nearly worthless
after such abuse-wood and belts rotted,
bearings rusty, bolts stolen OF taken for
use on other machines. We do not wonder
that some men never appear to improve
their worldly condition. Such men as
these to whom we allude, do not deserve to
succeed 1t is the same with every thing
about their farms; it is q common sight to
see plows left standing in the furrow all
winter; mowers, rakes, and even threshing
machines exposed to the weather; yet, in
spite of this negligence, waste and careless
ness, the astonishing fact remains that moi
few of this very class are actually il
! comfortable circumstances.
