AGLORIOUS DAYS WORK.


The Democracy of Minnesota has rea-
son to be proud of the record made by
their convention yesterday. In 1859
when in the full tide of power, the Dem
ocratic party of this State boldly and
manfully declared IN favor of honesty
and against reputation. Their oppo-
nents, the Republican party, with a
hamelessness which should make every
honest man blush, deliberately de-
clared in behalf of rascality and
reputation, and won victory
For over twenty years that party has
gloried in its repudiating shame, and only
last week over three hundred Republi-
cans, assembled from every county in the
State, were cowardly silent upon the only
issue presented, and, by silence, endorsed
and reaflirmed the policy of reputation
which has been the Republican shibbo-
leth from the very birth of the party
In all that three hundred, there
honesty and decency to even mildly pro-
pose a change Of the repudiating policy
of the party.
The action of the Democratic conven'
ton yesterday was in marked and honor
able contrast. In the platform it quot
ed and formally affirmed the anti-repu,
diation resolutions of 1859. Though
suffering unjust defeat for over
twenty wears, the Democrats of Minneso-
ia do not swerve from the path of honor.
Defeat which may follow honest devotion
to honorable principles, is far preferable
to victory secured by dishonor. The
Democracy desire party success, but
they do not propose to buy it by policy
tacitly or covertly approaching repudia-
ton. To their credit they place themselves
plumply upon the platform of meeting
the obligations of the state and trust to
time and the better judgment of the peo-
pie for their vindication.
party of Minnesota yesterday is proud
one. There was no trucking or lodging
to secure temporary success. The stand
ard of honesty was the guiding star OF
the convention and the results were left
to care for themselves.
1t was no wonder that the gallant Gen.
Sibley, who presided, should have an
nounced his pleasure and pride at the re-
suit. 1t was fitting that he should pre-
side over such an honorable body of gen
tlemen. He was the Governor of the
State when the people demanded the is
sue of the bonds, which the Republican
party Immediately repudiated, and
though no shadow of fraud rested
upon his action, or that Of
his administration, no effort has beer
spared to deceive the public relative to
the facts 1t was eminently proper thai
this stainless gentleman should again ap
pear at the head of his party, and aid in
re-affirming the honest policy which ha.
characterized the Democracy of Mime
sofa from the inception of the State.

The Colorado legislative assembly has inn
mortalized itself. Whether it was TESTING or
in earnest when it permitted the introduction
and authorized the printing of the following
named bill matters but little. If the former,
1t was the sickliest attempt at wit on re-
cord. If the latter, the members h voted
to receive the bill and ordered its printing
should be transported to the nearest asylum
for idiots and kept there at the expense ofthe
state. The bill referred to is known as house
bill No. ITS, and was introduced by Mr.. John
A. Coulter, and is entitled A act for the
destruction of Indians and Skunks." The
principal feature Of the bill is that where a
premium of ($25) each is offered for the scalp
or scalps of either Indian or skunk. The
Denver '~'Repuhlican," in a scathing editorial
or the bill, uses the following sensible Ian
guage: "NNhilo The people Of the state might.
be inclined to accept and treat it as a piece
of sport, the people throughout the country
who take such a lively, but, as we believe,

est argument for additional legislation, so as

SEIZURE OF LITTLE RG

There is intense excitement in Leadville
caused by the seizure of tile Little Pittsburg
mine Ivy the sheriff, According to the Lead
vile Herald the action is based on the fact
that the company has refused to pay the tax
imposed by the county for taxes on all assess
ment made on the dividends paid by the COM
pany during the year from May l, 1870, to
1880. The company ha' rendered aud paid a
tax on personal property, assets, etc, Oh hand
May l, 1880, which was accepted 10y the coun-
ty. A receipt was given, not in full, but for
the taxes on such part Of the assessment.
The county commissioners have levied this
tax on the income and the treasurer has pro-
ceeded to collect the tax as the law directs.
The balance of the tax due as such assess
ment stands amounts to So, 400, and for the
collection of this the present course is taken.
1t is stated that the sane course is to he pur-
sued toward other companies and in a few
days there is a prospect Of but few mines be-
ing in operation about Leadville. The Chron-
icte of that city in commenting upon the ac-
ton Of the authorities intimate that 1t is due
to their desire to influence the sale of stocks,
and adds: "Probably 10000 shares of Lillle
Pittsburg have been sold short in New York
by those who knew that this outrage was
impending. and the profit Oh the operation
will be not less than 5000. People are ask
ing how much of this the county commissions
ers get and how much goes to the shemtf's Of
flee. As soon as the shorts are covered all
amicable arrangement will be made betwt en-
the miners and the county," An application
will be made to the judge OF the United States
district court at that place for an injunction
to restrain the county commissioners from
further interference. The application will
bo made opon the following grounds First,
that although the property, like all other
property, is liable to taxation, the legislature
has provided no maCh.nery for the enforce
ment aud collection OF lax on mining output;
aud second, that the valuation of these prop
critics was raised without notice to their own
ers, so that they La. no opportunity to con-
test their valuation and have it reduced if i,
was eXOrDitant.

PASS HIM

Tie following appears in "a Washington
despatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean of the
9th ult -
Major Blaine, Of the army, brother of SEN
ator Blaine, arrived to-day from Montana,
with both hands disabled from having been
frozen on his last paying trip. He is accom-
panied by Col. Fisk, editor of the Helena
Herald. The latter says it is hoped by resi-
dents of Montana that the territory will be
admitted as a state under Gen. Garfield's ad-
ministration. The prospects, however, would
not appear to be favorable during a republic
can congress-, for Montana is almost hopeless
ly democratic, even Gov. Potts, who was APP
pointed by Grant as a republican, giving the
democrats all the aid in his power. All the
post traders and Indian agents in Montana
are also democrats.
The Independent, in commenting upon the
above, uses the following language =" 1t
would be impossible to concentrate, in the
same space, a greater number of falsehoods
than is contained in the foregoing paragraph.
In the first place, Maj. Blaine did not get his
hands frozen, ''on the last paying trip" I'M
less a trip from a Helena saloon to his own
residence can be called a paying one. In this

The republicans in the house, under the
stave off action on the re-apportionment bill
by r~esorting to their usual flibustering tao
tics. They have two objects in view. One
is they desire an extra session of congress
that they may organize the house, and thus
secure its patronage to their friends. This
patronage amount to over S250,000 between
the 4th day of March and the first Monday IN
next December. The other object they have
in view is 20 tx the basis Of re-apportionment
themselves, and give to the northern or re-
publican states a greater representation than
Is allowed them under the present bill. I'm
der CoX's bill the growing western and south
western states gain in representation while
the old northern states lose. BY forcing final
action upon the bill over to the consideration
of the next house, which will be republican,
they hope TO Tx a representation that will be
more favorable to their party friends at
the north. Hence their fiibustering. The
fact that The great west and southwest are,
under the recent census, Justly entitled to an
increased representation cuts no figure in the
case with these northern republicans. They
are jealous Of the political power Of the great
west. They can see in the rapid settlement
of its vast agricultural domain, and in the
great population which its rich and extensive
mineral deposits are drawing TO itself from
the north aud frum the east, that the political
scepter, which they have SO long welded, Is
IN danger of being wrested from their grasp
by the young, vigorous and aggressive deni-
Gems of the Mississippi basin and beyond the
Rockies, and they propose to resist and fight
this power inch by inch. Filibustering is an
effective weapon in the hands Of a minority,
and the republican minority in the house is
making use of that weapon at the present
time. The country at large will hold the re-
publican party responsible for al extra sps-
sion ii it be found necessary to call one.
