We learn that the citizens of Wade
ma are making move to obtain the
State capitol. A committee consist
ing of three prominent citizens, c. a.
! Couillard, G.. Potter and c. j. Stuart
| are b,,sily at work. It is said that
they firmly rely upon the support of
eastern Otter Tail in consummating
this scheme. Its quite probable that
the senior editor of the FARMER, the
County Superintendent, the principal
of the public school. and George a.
Whitney will go to st. Paul to assist
in the matter. If this project is I'M.
successful, it is the intention of the
citizens of Wadena to petition the
Legislature to be attached to Otter
Tail county.--Verndule Journal.
The above squib was called out, we
suppose, by some good-natured cores
pondence between lIessrs. Conillard,
Potter and Stuart, and some Verndale
gentlemen, with which we had moth
ing to do) and has given the editor of
the Journal an opportunity to at
tempt to be sarcastic at the expense
of the senior editor of this paper, and
it it will relieve the Journal editors
pent up feelings, we would be the last
man in the world to object. 1t would
seem unnecessary to think Of sending
the editor of the Great Family News
paper, ycleped the Verndale Journal,
to St. Paul, OF anywhere else for that
matter, to lobby for the passage of
any measure, Judging from his want
of success in the county seat matter.
We trust that no bad effect will re-
suit to the editor of the Journal from
this tremendous effort Of his mighty
Intellect, and hat he will continue to
relieve himself, even at our expense
if need be, of the great ideas that go
trooping through his brain. Keep
cool, Bro. Mcmillan, time will heal
all things, and it wont make any diff
ference Il thousand years hence even
if you were not so successful as you
hoped to be. Try to console yourself
with the honor of being the editor of
the official paper of the county.

THE RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE COM
EflSSI0NEHE

During tho six weeks OF tho session Of the
Illinois Legislature which have already
passed, there llas been pending q somewhat
acrimonious discussion Of tic merits aud de-
merits of the Stase Doard Of 1luIlroad alll
Warehouse Commissioners. The duties Of
this Donrd are two-folu: one Is to administer
the law regulating tic railroads Of Illinois.
and to enforce thnt law In all cases of Its yiu-
latlon; thu otter Is to provide By appoint
IncNt Of proper persu,ls a careful, hNncst, and
Intelligent inspection Of grain sold In this
State. The interests Involved lit these two
particulars nre Justly ranked among tho
highest by Tho puople Ut Illinois, and this
Commission was created In order to have
these interests property and promptly pro-
tectel.
The Commissioners WHO have held office
under the present Governor nre N1essrs
Dogue, Smith, and Oberly. Tho Governor
las nominated Mcssrs. BOg,ie and Smith for
rcappolntncnt, and AIr. Robinson In place OF
Oberly. On tho question Of confirming
these appointments charges have bpel made
that tho Commission has been negligent, In
efficient, and careless to MI exte1,t TINT 1lns
defeated the real purpose for which their
otlice wns created. and this to tic Injury Of
the peopIa thus deprived Of The protection
which the law provided tllem. Upon these
| cIlarges much testimony l,ns boon taken, iild
much said and suggested by friends and pnr-
tsans Of tho Board and Of Its subordtnatcs,
and daiso 6ytloso who have had tho courage and
huge given thcir time to rcnons.rate against
