According TO IA circular received from
New York, a powerful clique has been
ormed to corner August wheat IN Chi

wheat early SO as to be prepared to take
advantage of the rise anticipated. The

intend jumping the price of wheat up to

.ular we know not, but VIC do not take
ny stock from any circulars cmanating
rom stock exchanges, Others may do as
hey wish. We intend preserving tho
:ircular for the purpose Of observing

The ST. Paul Gun Club publishes the
game law as revised last winter, and say
that they have inaugurated system of
patrols TO report suspected parties who
may, through some unforeseen circum-
stance, accidentally kill Il prairie chicken
before sept. l. Probably the citizens of
Minnesota would like To know who the
ST. Paul Gun Club are, and upon what
meat they feast TO make them SO great.

THIS season has been so fraught with
sudden wind storms that the apprehen-
sions of our people are easily aroused, as
for Instance yesterday afternoon, when,
after suffering with intense, almost
suffocating heat all day, the wind
suddenly arose and aroused the previous
apathetic ones into stirring activity, and
the dispatch with which dry goods,
clothing and other fabrics were hustled
indoors indicated that there was danger
in the clouds, but the storm passed
away and to-day is as hot as ever.

Mrs. Lobdell was rescued from the
Minnesota river on Wednesday after
noon last, opposite the city. She had
jumped in with the intention OF drown
ing herself, but unfortunately for her
purpose but fortunate for her life, she
was discovered floating down the river
and rescued before accomplishing her
end. This is the same woman who
some time since attempted her own
life by taking laudanum, but the
stomach pump saved her. She is re-
ported as subject to attacks Of tempo.

Mankato dogs at night would indicate
that their progenitors were .prima donnas

Colonel Mansfield, vetcrcn hotel
keeper ut Austin, this state, in an inter-
view with st. Paul Globe reporter the
other day said that the city of Austin
has voted $4,000 to bring the Southern
Minnesota railroad into the city and
that it's coming. Besides which the
Milwaukee & st. Paul company will
locate its division shops in the city, in
anticipation of which at least 100 dwell
ling houses are being built, and it is ex.
pcctcd 500 new cottages will be required
next season to accommodate the me-
chanics and laborers who will come
there with the railroad and its shops
A new street railway, connecting the
railroad depot with all parts Of the city,
is proposed and will be built, the colonel
says, as soon us proper authority and
rights of way can be obtained. A paper
mill and cloth mill are among the
contemplated business investments to be
offered by the citizens. The people ART
fairly walked up, and he thinks Austin
will, in few years be next to st. Pau
and Minneapolis among Minnesots
cities in business importance, wealtl
and population.

reporter little "tafly" in the above
interview, does not detract from til,

The Apportionment Failure.


The failure to apportion the State for
Senators and Representatives is not due
to the legislature. That body completed
and adopted an apportionment as required
BY the constitution, but the veto of the gov
ernor was interposed and the apportion-
ment fell TO the ground.
The report of the committee Of the SEN
ate in regard to the veto places the re-
sponsibility for the failure to apportion up
on the governor. The legislature COM
piled with the requirements Of the consti-
tuition. in the same manner precisely that
its demands have been understood and
complied with from the foundation Of the
government. Such precedent. 50 long
established and followed by the most emf
nent men OF the State, was considered n
safe and proper one To guide the action of
the legislature. But the governor takes
the ground that it was not lawful because
no State census has been taken. The APP
portionment is based upon the United
0b0tc5 C[uoaSy tuCiTtcit, III iiS ODiHiDH
it is unconstitutional. although every ap-
pOrtionment so tar made in the history of
the State has been founded upon the CEN
sus taken by the general government.
The governor makes other objections,
such as that the apportionment is unfair
and partisan. but the constitutional objec-
q: t.. IL 81 l.
hind il.
The action of the governor has prevent
ed the fulfilment of a clear constitutional
duty-that is to complete the apportion-
ment OF the state at the time designated
in that instrument. Ii is not the fault of
the Legislature that it is not completed.
The governor is not authorized to make
an apportionment. That duty belongs to
the legislature. But if the governor can
arrest or ovcrturn their work they cannot
comply with the constitutional require
ment, and if they are obliged to make the
apportionment conform to his ideas
instead OF their own it will be his appor-
tionment and not the apportionment OF
the legislature.
The recommendation of the governor
that the apportionment be deferred until
1888, and that then new census be taken
under authority of the State, would throw
large and entirely Unnecessary expense
upon the State, and defer the completion
Of the apportionment far beyond the time
In which the constitution provides that i,
shall be made. But the governor seems
to be entirely oblivious to these objections
to his plan.
1t is well-known. however, that the real
objections OF the governor to the appor-
tionment do not appear in his veto He is
very ambitious of obtaining a seat in the
United States Senate. and il he can take
the superintendent of the State out of the
hands of the legislature. and have one
made to suit his own personal interests,
he thinks he can thereby succeed in step
ping over tho distinguished leaders of the
democracy IN this State, and gain seat
in the Senate. 1t is bold project, but
the governor will have to conquer the
leaders of the democracy, as the first and
indispensable step in his march towards
the United States Senate.
