honest goods at live and let live prices are
the secret by which our merchants are do.
ing a successful business. In this connec-
ton We might ask if we are doing all pos
siblc in another direction. We know that
goods are sold at the lowest living prices;
this is well, so far as it goes Now can
nothing be done toward raising the prices
paid for produce, etc, not only up TO, but
beyond that offered at competing points.
Let us pay the largest prices for farm pro-
luce, and sell our merchandise at tile low
est prices, and the result will be beneficial
to a surprising degree. To be sure we are
doing well, but 1t will be clear gain to do
if possible, even better than we are doing.
Much excitement has been created in
political circles by the unexpected turn Civ
ell to the fight between Conkling and Gar
field, caused by master move on the part
of the president who has picked up the
gage of battle thrown down by his inso.
lency Roscoe l., and now has his highncss,
to use the language of the immortal poet,
about where the hair is shortest" The
republican senators in caucus, decided to
break the dead lock and go into executive
! session, for the purpose of confirming
nominations, but through some means
Conkling got resolution adopted in the
caucus to the effect that only contested
nominations" shonld receive action at
present This was slap at the president,
and referred directly to Robertsons nomi-
nation; it being in effect, that such nomi
nations as pleased Conkling should receive
attention, and those that did not, should
be left without action Of twelve nomi
NOMINATIONS made by the president from
among the prominent men of the various
factions of the republican party in New
York state, Robertson was the only one
that did not suit his mightiness Roscoe
Conkling, and he thought by his little
game to defeat the president; but Garfield
was alert. and as soon as the senate was
ready to proceed to business, quietly sent
a message withdrawing all the New i ork
nominations, Robertson's excepted. This
was a master stroke on the part of Garfield
and has put the insolent and domineerin"
senator from New Y DIRK in Il Fletcher OF
a fix, as it will force u fight, and i'll the
event of this being done it is thought the
president will be endorsed by Robcrtson's
confirmation Throughout this bitter con
test the president, while fighting agains
all odds, has stood firm and untiinching
held to his determination not to surrender
although he has been continually besiegeC
to make some compromise. Believing
himself to be right, Garfield has refused tc
either entertain or consider the proposals
for surrender, intending that whatever
the outcome the senate should be respon
sibie BY his actions the president ha;
made himself popular, and won the conf
dcnce and esteem of the people, and tina
his recent move meets with approval il
evident from the fact that as soon as th
news of his having checkmated Conklinl
was received, kilograms poured in from al
quarters, endorsing his action, and con
graduating him on his tirmness.

Parnell attempted to induce his followers
to retire from the house Of commons and
abstain from voting on the Irish land bill,
but many of the members who are dis
gusted with his suicidal policy of opposi,
ton, have refused to act with him. and
out of sixty five, it is probable fully two
thirds will vote on the measure. From
present appearances it looks as if Parnell is
losing his hold and that it will not be long
ere he is deposed from the leadership of
the party. If this is not done soon, there
will be bad break in the ranks, as even
now they are almost hoplessly divided.

Strangers are surprised at the reasonable
prices asked by our merchants for their
wares, and assert that better quality Of
goods are sold at lower prices in this vii.
lage than at any other point in the state.
That this should be the case is gratifying
to ALL as not only do the merchants derive
benefit, by small profit and quick sales,
but the entire community is also the gamer
thereby. A keen, legitimate competition
is what has built up the large business at
this point; and to this enterprising broad
gauge policy is due to the fact that we con.

1t seems that n envy ork, notwithstaud-
ing its Wanted position as the Largest city
in the greatest country on the globe" is
lacking in push enterprise and pluck. The
worlds fair project is a failure, owing to
the lack of interest manifested by the
business men and corporations of the city
One thing which has contributed more
than any other perhaps, to defeat the en-,
terprise, was the fact that there was q split
over questions of location, organization,
etc, and this resulted in restraining many
from making the liberal contributions in
aid of the enterprise, which it was expected
they would do. Even the little scheme OF
making Grant president of the commission
didn't work, and now it has been decided
to return the money subscribed.

An unparalleled case of attempted muir
der was reported to the Minneapolio Tri-
bune last week from Pennington, Mime
sofa. 1t appears that Miss Kelly, the
affianccd wife of Solomon Griesmer of
Illinois, wrote him to come to this state,
and, as the old folks were opposed to the
match, she would meet him and they
would go off together, or elope. Griesmer
did so and they met clHndestinely near her
house. and from his story it would appear
that while they were talking, she at the
time sitting on his knee with his arm
around her, she deliberately drew razor
across his throat with the intent to kill
him. The wounded man made his way
to ueishbors and had his wound attended
to, the cash being serious one, fortunate
ly however not likely to prove fatal, as the
arteries were not severed although the
wind pipe was cut. AS Miss Kelly refuses
to speak word on The subject until COM

Is Garfield president of the United States!

Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1881-05-12

The doctrine of the courtesy of the SEN
ate" is that if an appointment made by the
president is Objectionable to any SENATOR
the rest of the senate are bound by
courtesy to assist in defeating the con-
tirmation No wonder Garfield combats
such pernicious dogma, as it not only de-
prives him of powers granted by the con
stitution, but would result in comforting
on the senate the appointing power, of the
government. This doctrine is now prop
erly called the "discourtesy Of the senate. ~
Although Garfield went entirely out of
his way in consulting with the senatorial
blister from New York, regarding the APP,
pointments in that state, yet the s. b. was
not satisfied with this condescens!on on the
presidents part. Conkling is like the lit
tie boy visiting alta neighbors, who was
offered piece of bread and butter, which
he accepted, but not with any degree Of
enthusiasm. "What do you say, johnny
said the lady, expecting him to say
Thank you" 81 say it amt cake" was
the iulpolite response.
