IN GOOD CONDITION.

a statement from the Inspector Relative to
the Reports of Damaged Grain in NAL
scaeskee Elevators.
| milwaukee Special (A1arch 2S) Chicago Times.
There has been some sensational talk lately
about the condition of the wheat in the eleya-
tors, 1t being reported that, owing to the soft
condition of much of last seasons wheat, it
was heating IN the bins. To set the matter at
rest, so far as the wheat in store here is con-
cerned, the Times reporter interviewed In
spector Holland Official grain inspector of the
chamber of commerce) about it. Mr.. Holland
said:
'There is always more or less wheat damaged
IN the elevators, and that is one reason why in
gram removed from the elevators for shipment.
The reports, however, that the wheat now in
store is in especially bad conditiod is all nom
sense. undertake to say that the brag crop
of 1877 was injured more in the elevators than
that now stored. The wheat last year was har-
vested dry and SO it was kept, really, in better
condition than is usual; and the shriye,ed
lower grades couldn't be injured anyway. No,
Tor the vast quantity in store it has certainly
kept in better condition than it will average
one year with another. have made examina-
lions, and can state positively that the wheat
here IS not in the condition stated by the ru
mors referred to, but it is, on the contrary, in
good condition.
The wheat market to-day was shade firm
er, but was not very active. Receipts were
again large and aggregated $3.50 bushels,
against 6l,6OO the same day last year. Ship
ments 1865 bushels. Stock in store 8, 457 900
bushels, against 541. 900 the corresponding day
in 1878.

sldering their representation, they have not
got as many chairmanships as they are en-
tit1ad tn

SENATOR MCMILLAN had the temerity and
the good sense to remove the st. Paul post
master two or three years ago and the un-
gracious being has been very mad about it
ever since. He never loses all opportunity
TO dlsparage and speak in contempt of Min
nesota's junior Senator. In noting the ap-
polntment Of Gen. Flower yesterday to sue
coed Geo. Moore. he alludes to MCMILLAN as
the ''jedge." There is evidently some bril-
liant but cutting sarcasm in the appellation
OF @sjedge'' which only an ex-postmaster can
appreciate Besides, Mcmillan, though a
bitter partisan and not very brilliant in the
ways of the world, is not a dishonest man.
He will not steal himself or knowingly ap
point thieves to Office. It is therefore no
wonder that he is held in contempt in the
Bill King quarter.

McMURTR1E found it no easy matter |

MoMURrR1E found it no easy matter to
secure acceptable bonds for his position as
collector at Pembina. This was nohespe-
cially personal to McMurtrie, but tho bust
ness of the United States courts in Minneso-
ia for the last fifteen years has been largely
devoted to prosecuting the bondsmen of Re-
publican officials and it is getting to be a
risky business on general principles. Just
at this time, too, the court has been endeav.
oring to collect SIS, 900 from the bondsmen
of Geo. F. Potter, former Pembina collect
or and that brought it home to McMurtrie
very closely. AS a rule, official bonds are
given without expecting to pay them ev en-
if the liability clearly occurs. The bonds
men of Munich and Seeger proved an excep-
ton, however. They paid $4,000 to save
the Republican party of Minnesota from
ruin and the kicks and cuffs they have re-
oeived makes them sorry they did it.

This is specimen Of the reckless asser-
lions of the Republican press throughout
the country. There are, it IS true, thirty.
four standing committees, yet they have not
forty-four chairman, far less forty-fou1
"Southern brigadiers." Among the chair
men of the Senate committees are Sanls-
bury, Eaton, Bayard, Davis, Grover, Ran
dolph, MCPHERSON, Thurman, Mcdonald,
F'dnunds, Anthony, Herman, Wallace, Voor-
hees, Whyte, Conkling and Beck, total of
seventeen, who were never inside the rebel
lines during the war. Of the special com
mittees, eight in number, the chairmanships
are divided equally between Northern and
Southern Senators. The pretense that un-
due prominence is given to the Southern
element will not bear inspection, for, con-

of the last Congress an effort was made to
prove that outrages had been perpetrated
upon the negroes of the South, especially in
South Carolina. just before the adjourn
ment an &c parte report was submitted by
the chairman, charging serious crimes upon
the Democrats of the South. These charges
were disputed by minority of the commit
tee, but they were not allowed an lopportu-
nifty for hearing. 1t would seem to be the
province of the reconstructed committee to
inquire into this branch of the subject, in
stead of trying to establish by evidence what
IS known to every citizen that large cor
roPtlon fund was raised by matchmaking
devices from the employees of the govern
ment. If it shall be proved that any citizen
was hindered from free exercise of the
franchise in the Southern States by the Dem
ocratlc party, that party ought to be con-
demned; for such state of facts existing in
the face of tho professions and traditions of
the party in favor of the utmost freedom of
opinion, ought to condemn it.
Another branch of the subject referred to
the committee has been but imperfectly con-
sldered-the endeavors Of Republican bull
dozers at the North to intimidate voters.
Mr.. Lynde, of that committee, has sub
mltted partial report as to the doings of
the federal officials at New York,
which shows that moro than five thousand
voters were kept from the polls through fear
OF the vengeance of John I. Davenport, the
chief supervisor of that city. The evidence
he heard was most conclusive, but was not
complete. If the committee would but con-
tinue his inquiry, and prosecute it not only
in New York but in other Northern cities, it
would be found that the South is not alone
given to bulldozlng, but that there are many
wrongs upon the citizens of the North that
require to be righted.

Carver County Free Press. |

This spring when we saw Mr.. Kings
proposition to unite the two associations, wo
gave him credit for fair-minded and lib
eral spirit, and really anxious to subserve
the best interests of the State. But when
the committee of conference appointed by
the two cities met, Minneapolis betrayed a
degree of selfshness highly discreditable,
by declaring as condition of her uniting
with the State fair, it must be held in that
city. St. Paul was willing to unite on any
outside city, or at some point between the
two cities referred to. Her course in this
matter has certainly been the more megnan-
imous, and unless she shall subsequently
spoil by ill-alvised action what has already
been accomplished, we believe that she vii
have the sympathies of the State at large
with her.
