The Saltwater Messenger thinks
that if the last session Of tho pres
ent Congress, which convened last
Monday and in which the Republl.
cans have a majority, will repeal all
protective tariff laws, and repeal the
internal tariff laws as far as bank
checks, matches, and few other
articles largely consumed are con-
cerned, the people will feel sufficient
ly grateful to elect a Republican
president in 81 provided suitable
candidate be placed in nomination.
But if the golden opportunity shall
be unimproved and Democra tic
congress shall grant the desired re.
lief the next president will be a
Democrat.

The Dakota supreme court de-
cides that mortgaged wheat or its
representative value, sold in open
market can be recovered. A man
named Wheeler mortgaged his crop
while growing. When harvested
he hauled it to market and Barnes
& McGill, elevator men, purchased
it. Nichols 4 Shepard, who held
the mortgage, learning the wheat
was sold aud to whom, brought suit
against Barnes & McGill, the limo.
cent purchasers, in the district
court and secured judgment for the
value Of the wheat. Barnes 4 Nc
Gill appealed the case and the su.
preme court held the decision good.
This seems an injustice, as the pur-
chasers could have no means oil
knowing as to the mortgage.
