Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1880-01-08

Sometime since eX senator Morril, sub.
mitted TO Gov Garcelon, several questions
on the coustitutionality of the canvas, as
made by the governor and council with II
request that the questions be by him sub,
mitted to the supreme court of the State.
The Governor refused to comply with the
request, but instead, framed, and referred,
series of elaborate and cunningly devised
questions, relating solely to technical points
of law. The questions were duly considered
and the unanimous opinion (signed by seven
judges is briefly rs follows. The duty OF
the Governor and council, is to ascertain
and declare the will of the people. A rep
lesentative is not deprived of his rights be-
cause the municipal officers have neglected
their duties. The purpose of the law is to
prevent fraud, not TO aid in its preparation.
The object of the constitutional provisions
respecting elections is to furnish as many
safeguards as may be against failure, either
through fraud or mistake, correctly to as
certain and declare the will of the people,
as expressed in the choice of their officers
and Legislators. Although the language of
statute maybe permissive, yet when pub
tic rights are concerned it shall be constru-
ed as a mandatory command, clothed in
the language of courtesy. The general
principle whlchgoverns is that, while there
should be stlVct compliance y ith the provi-
sions of the statute, yet when they are
merely factory, such strict compliance is
not essential to the validity of the proceed
ings under such statute, less it is so declared.
This is specially applicable when the rights
cerncd. The dominant rule is TO give such
construction to the official acts of munich
pal officers as will best Comport with the
meaning and in4ention of the parties as de-
rived from fair and honest Interpretation
of the language used, to sustain rather than
to defeat the will of the people and dis
franchise citizens.
This prompt and decisive answer will
have the effect of strengthening the Repub
licans, and confusing tnC opposition, us i,
is an emphatic endorsement of the Repub
lican position, and being the unanimous
opinion of the highest authorities in the
state it will have great weight and influence
| This is a government of, for and by the
people, and hence the will of the people
must not be defeated by undue or improper
action. Garcelon and his advisers have
made terrible blunder in their attempting
to outrage the rights of "a free people, VIZ
say attempting, for there seems to be NJ
question but that now the Republicans viii
obtain their rights and have control of th
| legislature, and state.

We hear great deal said of the strict
and arbitrary rules governing the inspection
of wheat. 1t is asserted that the standard
of grades are being raised each year, and
that as a result the farmers wheat is re-
duced in quality and in price. The farmer
when he hears this, jumps at the conclusion
that he is being defrauded and swindled,
and straightway grumbles at the inspector
and growls at the buyer, looking upon them
as thieves and swindlers, and invoking the
legislature to protect him from their pill.

There is perhaps some cause for this
grumbling and growing, but it appears to
us as if great portion of the trouble car
be found at home, and that the remedy is
in our own hands. Did it ever occur tc
any one of the grumblers that his wheat
was of inferior quality, did 1t ever occur te
him that this present system or rather stylt
of farming was simply, break more grount

a plea for the store Clerks.

EDS. NEWS: The summer IS past, the
fall is drawing to its close, and stern
winter is rapidly drawing nigh, when all
are glad to be indoors after their days
labor is over enjoying the warmth and
comforts of home. Few and but very
few, care to brave the stormy weather
and piercing cold winds of Kansas, to go
out and do their trading after the shades
of night have drawn their dark mantle
over the light of day. Yet for the sake
of few more paltry cents, which few
stragglers dropping in to purchase few
trifles, bring, our various stores are
kept open until late into the night What
is received after Z p. N. is scarcely
enough to cover the expenditure for light
and fire, which are necessary in every
store.
Our plea therefore is that the good
people of Emporia would lend Us their
voice and support towards influencing
our storckeepers to close their stores al
p. m, during the winter months, SO as
also, to allow US, who have been upon
our feet from early morn and kept busy
all day, TO go to our various homes and
to enjoy the same comforts and, warmth
to be found there. Now, Messrs. Edi
tors, you will confer on us favor by in
sorting this plea in your paper and by
adding your own comments upon the
justice of the plea. Respectfully,

The fremont House Destroyed by Fire.
The fremont House on the west side
of Commercial street, below the railroad,
was partially consumed by fire which
was discovered in the kitchen at about
4 O'Clock Tuesday morning. The alarm
was promptly given, and the hose COM
panies were soon on the ground, but the
flames spread so rapidly that before they
were finally extinguished almost the en-
tire roof and the rear portion of the
building were swept by the devouring
element. The walls of quite long por-
ton of the house were saved, but the
plastering in all the rooms was utterly
ruined by the floods of water poured
upon the flames by the firemen, and the
structure is so badly damaged that the
expedIency of attempting to repair
1t becomes quite questionable
The fire originated in the kitchen,
though from what cause has not yet been
ascertsined. All of the furniture up
stairs was destroyed, and much of that
taken out of the lower rooms was badly
broken up. The insurance includes
$4,000 on the house and $500 on the fur.
niture, both of which are owned by Mr.
Howard Dunlap, of the Savings bank.
| The buildings adjoining the hotel
were saved by the efforts of the firemen
who, while they are criticised by some
parties for their lack of discipline, work
ed with great willingness, and did very
| good service after they once got theil
connections made and were in trim fol

that to the existence of water works il
