EAU CLAIRE.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, April 12-The
board of trade held special meeting last
night, for the purpose of considering a
proposition from the Wabashaw & Lake
Superior railway company, looking to
the immediate construction of that road
to this city. The railroad company offer
to complete and equip the road from the
Mississippi river to Eau Claire and Me-
nomonie before the close of 1881, On con-
dItion that the people of the Chippewa
valley give it 5000 and the right of
way. This is the best offer yet made for
the building of this much talked of road,
and it is confidently expected that the
people will accept it. The cities of Eau
Claire and Menomonie will undoubtedly
raise $4,000, leaving only $4,000 to
be made up by Durand and other
places on the route. The meeting
here was largely attended by business
men, and a resolution was passed in favor
of extending aid to the project to the
amount of $50, 900, and the right of way
through the city.
The Eau Claire Lumber company starts
its water mill to-day, it having stock of
5000, 900 feet of logs left over from last
year.
Building operations are very lively,
and this promises to be the busiest sea-
son in that line ever known here.

Wants to be Released.

Application was made by Mr.. G. A.
Flint, before Judge Simons yesterday, for
the release on writ of habeas corpus of
John Ferguson, held to the grand jury on
the charge of swindling a granger named
Mcclure out of $40 on the bogus check
racket. The application was based on
the grounds that the evidence was not
sufficient TO constitute case. Mr.. Flint,
counsel for defendant, produced the evil
dence, together with the alleged spurious
check on which the money was loaned
The affair took place on the I'd of
March. Defendant and Mcclure were
out together, and in the course of their
rambles they called at bagnio on Fifth
street. Being out of means Ferguson re-
quested the loan of 500, offering as Sc
curity check on the First National bank
of Fargo, and promising to refund the
money the next day. The check is an
old check dated Nov. 18th, 1879, and
bears on its face the official stamp of the
bank, marked '.:paid," in large letters
Mr.. Eagan, for tne State, claimed that all
the evidence had not been taken, and the
case was held open until certificate
could be had from Judge Burr, showing
whether or not all the evidence had been
returned.

Il Base ACCUSATION.

II Senator Mcmillan was correctly re-
ported in the Senate on Monday he was
guilty of very unseemly act. Senator
Vest, of Missouri, made telling hit upon
the Republicans who are so holy, lin their
own estimatlon) by citing the reputation
of Minnesota. Whereupon Senator Nc
MILAN is reported as saying
that ''the bonds were issued
by Democratic administration, and
that there was strong element of fraud
IN their issue" We believe-th is the first
time any man has ever attempted to ques-
ton the integrity of Gen. Sibley who was
governor of the State at the time of the
issue of the bonds. If any officer ever
acted fairly and honestly in the discharge
Of his official duties it was Gen.
Sibley at the time mentioned
He threw every possible safeguard around
them and even refused to issue them un-
til peremptorily directed to do so by a
writ of mandamus from the supreme
court. If he had declined to obey the
writ the railroads could have obtained the
bonds through the order of the court
without mourning the liability which fol-
lowed the issue by the governor.
Senator Mcmillan is the first public
man who has ever had the hardihood to
assail Gen. Sibley's action as bearing "a
strong element of fraud,' and we are in
cllned to think he has hoisted himself
with his own petard. Gen. Sibley does
not need any defense or vindication in
this community, and it is even quite pos
sible that his character for honor and
integrity will bear comparison with SEN
ator McMillan's.

of the most attractive on the lake. From

The Democrats in the Senate are car
rying the war into Africa. The Mahonl-

by denouncing the people Of the South
for DISTINGUISHING negroes or preventing
them from voting. The Democrats are
now calling attention to the scandalous
disfranchisement of citizens in the New
England States by means of the property
qualification, tax and alien laws. Repub-

ST.. PAUL, April Is, 1881,

During the past week there has been gen.
eral improvement in the wholesale trade OF St.
Paul. and merchants regard the prospect as
good for a large though late spring trade. In
the dry goods and notions trade there are more
orders, and retail dealers accompany their or
ders with hopeful assurances that, though the
season is four weeks late, they will have plen-
ty of customers for thsir goods as soon as the
country dries up SO that people can get about.
In prices we have no local changes to note
since last week, though manufacturers agents
in the East, as usual at this time of year,
make frequent but small changes.
A New York dispatch of last evening says:
Dry goods trade slow In all departments to-
day, owing to rainy weather. Cotton goods
quiet, but leading makes of fine brown and
bleached goods, ducks and denims, ETC., in
light supply and steady. Print cloths adj
vancing. Prints in light request, but ging-
hams continue active. Dress goods sluggish.
Mems wear woolens generally quiet in first
hands.

ridden on the crest of the wave. Mime
sofa legislatures have for that length of
time been overwhelmingly Republican,
but no legislature has ever had the cour-
age to propose to pay the bonds
in an honest, manly manner
All propositions have been loaded
down with some fatal and evidently in
territorial destroying clause. Twice since
the original Reputation the Republican
party has squarely voted against paying
the bonds, and third time proposition
to exchange lands, which never cost the
State anything, for the bonds, was voted
by the people for the double reason that
the lands were put at five times their
value to offset the debt, and second,
that so many were required to accept
to make the exchange operative, that 1t
was a moral certainty the act would fail.
The proposition was simply designed to
remove the odium and continue the re-
pudlation The last legislature, with only
twenty-six Democrats out of membe-
rship of one hundred and forty
seven, resorted to another sub
terfuge. 1t passed an act which
renders the settlement of the
bond dependent on the supreme court,
and that Republican organization contin-
ues the reputation record by refusing to
act as directed to do by the legislature.
This the record of the Republican party
of Minnesota, and it is as shamefully dis
honest as Senator Vest or any other Sen
ator can depict. They cannot put it too
strongly. There are many individual Re-
publicans who earnestly and honestly de-
sire to wipe out the stain of reputation
from the State, but they do not and cannot
control their party. The Democratic
party of Minnesota is in favor of an hon
est settlement of the debt, but uufortu-
nately that party is in hopeless minority.
Both the original and continued stain of
reputation rests plumply and squarely
upon the Republican party of Minnesota.
