KNUTY NELSON, the man who Jumps
homestead claims of poor men, and swim
dies the creditors when assignee in bank
ruptcy, is making speeches urging the
people to vote for him for Congress. The
burden of his song is that he is not a
bolter and that he is too poor to have any
money to spend to corrupt voters.
guilty conscience is what pricks him.
He knows that there never was a more
willful and deliberate bolt in this country
than that of the bob tailed rump which
nominated him in tent in Detroit. He
knows further, that he represents pack of
thieves who having stolen themselves rich in
pine lands and stumpage, are supplying
money for him literally from their ill-got-
ten gains, hoping by his election to have
an opportunity to steal still more. He
knows well enough that the thieves whose
candidate he is are resorting to every foul
means to elect him, and he co-operates and
labors with them. ! There is not an honest
hair in his head. He is political fraud, a
legal fraud, business fraud, and fit rep
resentative of men who have always lived
by fraud and make fraud their stock in
trade. In other words, if we may be par
doned the use of such plain language,
Knuty Nelson is fraud.

a very strong social and financial position.
1t needs, however, the trained intellect of a
public official to see any difference be-
tween the two rogues.
In this case there were two
/ difficulties in the way of sue
cess. The supplying the increasing de-
mands of voracious rogues with the public
money without showing for what services
it is paid, is something very trying 90 the
best accountants even in our national cap
ital. And second, Brady and Dorsey were
rich. Perhaps third is that the sympa-
thies of the detectives were with the star
reuters.
The government has shown but little
knowledge of human nature. They man.
age these things better in New York city.
They know there that the esprit-de-corps
of detectives and rogues is very strong:
that nothing, in fact, will overcome that
delicate sentiment of honor except more
money. The government, it is clear, had
not as much money to throw away without
accounting for it as the defendants. Had
they thought of this they might at least
have avoided forcing the public to regard
them as both Rnaves and fools. At the
| next trial of the star reuters it would be.
perhaps, as well to have the attorney gen.
eral and his subordinates associated with
them as co-defendants.

What Constitutes an Obstruction of the
Mails?
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Oct. ia novel fea-
ture has appeared in the Higginsville post
master case, and was argued in the United
States court:to day. The grand jury yes
terday returned an Indictment against
Edward Claypool for obstructing the
mails. The facts as heretofore published
are that at Higginsville, Mo-, last August
quarrel arose between Claypool and
John W. Endley, the postmaster there.
Claypool, it is charged, on the 2Sth of
August entered the postoffice lust
as pouch of mail was received and as
saulted the postmaster, and during the
melee, which lasted some time, the mail
could not be distributed. Immediately on
returning the Indictment, the defense fled
a demurrer maintaining that the mail
could not be INSTRUCTED except when in
motion on railroad train, wagon or stage.
The prosecution argued that the mails are
in transit until delivered to the person adj
dressed, and that the case in point comes
within the meaning of the statute. The
ruling of the court is awaited with interest.
as the point has never yet been passed
upon.

THE LANDS FOR TIE BONDS.

Gen. Baker, railroad commissioner of
the state, in timely letter, calls attention
to the act passed by the extra session of
the legislature providing for the submits
sion to the people of the question of de-
voting the proceeds of the internal i'm
provement lands to the payment of the
outstanding railroad bonds The section
of the act which specifies how the ballots
should read is bungingly prepared and
hence Gen. Bakers suggestion that both
affirmative and negative propositions be
printed on the ballot. The section is as
Sec. 8. The voters voting in favor of this
act shall have written or printed, or partly
written and partly printed, on their ballots used
at said election, the following words: 'For the
act applying the internal improvement land fund
to the payment of the Minnesota state railroad
adjustment bOnds-Yes,' and the ballots used
at said election of those voting against said act
shall have written or printed, or partly written
and partly printed thereon, the following words:
1.-The act applying the internal improvement
land fluid to the payment of the principal of
the Minnesota state railroad adjustment bonds
No."
There is no valid reason why there should
be a single negative vote upon this
proposition. Whatever anyone's views
may have been relative to the plan of read
justment, whereby the old bonds we're taken
mp and new ones issued, no one can raise
a shadow of objection to making the inter
nalimprovement lands go as far as they will
in redeeming the new bonds. The principal
and interest of the new bonds must be met.
and the lands will wipe out at least two
thirds of the entire debt. The more that is
paid by the lands, the less the amount
will be required by taxation, and as the
payment is no longer a mooted question,
every taxpayer in the State is directly inter
ested in voting yes.
