noticeable, in size and style of to days issue
of the Tribune, and we will take this op-
portunity to thank our many friends for
the substantial support and encouragement,
which rendered such alterations necessary
and possible. We have for some time
contemplated enlarging and improving this
paper, but have hesitated in making so
large an outlay, until we felt assured that
such an investment Was fully warranted
Our support and success has been both sat
isfactory and gratifying, and we hope our
efforts may merit continuance of past fa-

bestowed upon us, if continued, will stim-

worthy their esteem and patronage, and

partment, the mismanagement at TIE
agency, aud the advantages to be gained
by combining the two offices of agent and
physician, then, with down cast eyes and
modest bushes, he murmurs, his own
name as a candidate for the position, all
on account of the great love he bears the
dear Indians, and-thc combined salaries.--
How charming it is in these days OF selfish
money getting to find the world still con-
tains a adisinterested character. However,
this is considered n perfectly harmless
craze, by all except the poor agent, who
breads equally keeping or dismissing him,
and is altogether in the frame of mind that
induced King Lear to tare his hair and ex-
claim "oh, sharper thana serpants tooth is

A TRAILING MANN.
Morris tribune., 1880-04-08

The Republican State Committee met in
SITS Paul yesterday, to issue a call for a
State Convention. The Pioneer Press de-
nounces the attempt to keep secret a matter
of public interest, and says:
We allude to this abortive attempt to
keep secret a matter Of public interest, be-
cause it adds one more to the inuumerable
examples of the uselessuess and folly of
such attempts. Their uselessness, because
the attempt is certain to fail, and the fact
suppressed in one quarter is certain to be
published in another. Their folly, because
the mere attempt to keep a matter secret
inspires suspicious of a sinister motive,
which would never have been imagined if
the frank and open course had been pur-
sued.

,.LE MARCH 81 1880

March 81, 1880.
Upon arriving here last night, we found
the inhabitants in utter darkness rs regards
all affairs transpiring outside the bluffs that
enclose this much discussed valley, for the
condition of the roads is such, that no mail
via Herman has arrived, and rumor, that
ioquacious messenger, reports the bridges
swept away and horses drowned, however
that may be, it is quite certain that local
topics, plans and prospects have formed
the staple of conversation for the last
twenty four hours, and the result is, that
what everybody doesn't know of every
body's else business, isn't worth knowing,
and any man suspected of keeping, for his
own private consideration, one solitary
item of news. would be considered worse
than an infidel. 1t seems a party of eigh-
teen surveyors left Ortonville (poor Orton-
ville) yesterday morning. with the intention
OF running line up Big Stone Lake, pre-
paratory to locating the proposed extention
of the H. & D. railroad. Business promis-
es to begin here in earnest the first of the
month. The hotel is full of inquiring men,
with Intentions "the butcher, the baker,
and cabinet maker" have already secured
lots, of Messrs Prescott & Co. and will be.
gin 10 build Immediately, an hotel also is
to be put up as soon as the lumber arrives.
Amusing stories are told of the numerous
deyotecs Of the bottle who have visited the
place with an eye to business, but upon it's
being intimated to them, that such an en-
terprisc would be greeted with very un-
desirable degree of warmth, one after an.
other he's withdrawn and left these teeto-
talers in the undisturbed possession OF cold
water, and now that petition, signed by
every one who can hold a pen, and sent to
headquarters, requesting that no license
for liquor selling be granted in this county,
there is aprospect of being treated, for a
time atleast, to the cold shoulder of the red
nosed brotherhood. The ''old residents
appear to expect the arrival of Indian sup
plies, for the neighboring agency, which,
upon completion Of the railroad, will be
shipped here, to be a valuable acquisition
to business. That reminds us of fithe report
brought from Sisseton Agency to day. 1t
appears that the physician employed there,

The house committee on elections have
finally decided, after fashion, the Don
nellyWashburn contest The final action
of the committee is decidedly unsatisfac-
tory, and like unto the famous electoral
commission, its findings leave the impress
sion that everything is judged and decided
on partizan grounds. A Republican can.
not apparently be made to see any wrong
in memb-r of his party, and Democrat
is determined not to look through any
other than his own party microscope.
Hence, the decision cen always be foretold
by simply ascertaining the politics of the
majority; the result is simply nothing but
broad farce and burlesque; party inter
ests are protected, no matter who is
wronged. The vote on the resolution de-
claring that Washburn was not entitled to
his seat, was carried to 5, and the resolu
ton declaring Donnelly not entitled to tie
seat, was also carried s to f. The majority
report will probably declare the seat vacant
and recommend that the matter be remand
ed to the people cf the district for new
election
Right ON the heels of the dicision of the
committee, comes report that the chair
man of the committee, Springer, was
bribed to vote against seating Donnelly
The accusation is made on the authority of
Manning and other members of the COM
mittee, and rests on an anonymous letter
sent Springer month ago, advising him,
that in consideration of his vote for Wash
burn, his wife would receive present of
$4,000. Springer denies having been In
tluenccd by the proffered bribe, and will
demand an investigation. He asserts his
vote was strictly in accordance with his
convictions, and that there is not shadow
of foundation for any such Charge OF insin
uation. a-
What action the house will take upon the
report of the committee, remains to be seen,
but it is probable nothing will be done at
present. s,,r. r.

We WI .le to say word more in
regard to sowing clean seed, ere it is ev-
erlastingly too late. There is no ques-
ton, but that ifa crop Of grain is to be
Of good quality, it will never grow from
poor, or foul seed. The difference of
prices in grades will not only pay for
cleaning, but in very many instances
will also pay for threshing. Those
who have observed the quality Of our
wheat, cannot do other than acknowl.
edge that it has deteriorated in quality
during the past few years, and the
cause is not wholly attributable to poor
crops, grasshoppers, or blight, but tc
carelessness in the quality Of seed.
Some years ago, this section was noted
for the superior quality Of its wheat,
but, unfortunately, while combina-
ton of adverSities reduced the quality
and quantity, sufficient care was moi
taken to guard against contributing il
making bad matter worse. Our ad
&c to farmers is to sow only good live
grain. The quality of seed will have
a wonderful effect on both quantity
and quality of crop.
