To the Editor of the Globe:
Will you please publish the following
call:
Pursuant to resolution passed at the recent
meeting in Grove City, the undersigned COM
mlttee call the farmers of the county togeth-
er on Saturday, March 4, at o'clock p. m, to
deliberate upon the abuses and wrongs con-
nected with the inspection, Weighing and pur-
chase of wheat, and to devise suitable meas
ures to stop the spoliation of our property by
an incorporated body of conspirators.
AS it is the obvious intention of the Mime
apolis millers, who now own and control the
Davidson elevators, to suppress all independ-
emit grain warehouses and effectually exclude
all competition, thus becoming absolute die
tators in the manner of grading. weighing and
buying wheat, and as this Touring combina-
ton possesses the power to de-
preciate our chief product below the
point of profitable production, and rob
us without mercy through its despicable
devices, thus subjecting us to insuferable
indignitles at the hands of sycophantic hire.
lings, and eventually entailing upon us and
our children the restitution and obloquy OF
serfdom; therefors it behooves the farmers Of
this country to turn out in full force and or
ganize against such an association as public
enemy.
It is the opinion of this committee that we
can obtain Justice in the handling OF our
crops and command respect for our calling
only through efficient township organization
only by the positive uniication OF the forces
of agriculture, and the determined enuncia-
hearty cooperation of honorable business
men, we must never falter in our righteous
purpose to demand free elevators, an open
market, fair grading, and full weight.

Wsl1 the Farmers Haze the sande

WilL the farmers Haze the Sand?
[Atwater (Kandiyohi Co.. Western Minnesota
Press, Feb. II.
The farmers of Meeker county held a meet
ing at Grove City last week and passed numer-
Gus resolutions bearing on the wheat ques-
ton. Since the Davidson elevators have been
purchased by the Minneapolis millers, great
fear is expressed on all sides that the inde-
pendent elevators may be crippled. as it is the
evident intention OF the millers to crowd all
competition off the track. This would be a
consummation to be deplored, as an agricul-
tural district dependent upon merciless
corporation like the millers would be in
a pitiful condition indeed. To prevent
such state of affairs is the in
tention of such meetings as the one held in
Grove City. The meeting declared in favor
of independent elevators, and urged the farm
ers to haul all grain to them, no matter what
inducements might be held out by the millers.
But where is the farmer who will sacrifice
himself on this alter, when it comes to the
test, and take his wheat to private indiyidu-
ais, when he can get from lot Is ceuts Per
bushel more from the millers, supposing such
a state of affairs should actually exist? The
farmers who have the 'sand" to do such a
thing as that, are few and far between.

number of buyers present, but their attention
is given very largely to specialties. For most
desirable qualities of cottons, which are in no
supply steady inquiry is made daily, but for
such as are in more delivery takings are ex-
ceedingly moderate. These remarks cover all
classes of plain and colored cottons. For cot
tonades request very moderate. White goods
well held and in good distribution. Prints
irregular and in light request. Ginghams in

styles. Dress goods in moderate to fair selec-
tlon. Mems wear woolens having general at
tention, and the placing of autumn orders is
continued with much steadiness.

NEWmANs ORANGE OF BasE.

The Rev. DIR. John p. Newman, whom
Gen. Grant appointed to inspect the
offices of our foreign consuls, made a
very remarkable speech at the Lincoln
Club dinner, given in New York on the
73d anniversary of the birthday of Pres-
dent Lincoln. In hey-days of Grants
power DR.. Newman was known in Wash
ington as the Right Reverend Doctor
John P. Newman, Pastor Of the Presi-
dents Monumental Methodist Episcopal
Church, with the chimes attached
When Gen. Grant left Washington,
the Doctor did not prove success,
and he commenced to rig purchase with
which to transplant himself from the
scenes Of his former glory to the Metropo-
lis of America-where Gen. Grant had
taken up his residence-with the view of
Incorporating the General again into
his flock. There was but one thing in
the way of his permanently consumma-
ting his cherished scheme, and that was
the itinerant system of his church. 1t
was an easy thing to get transplanted to
New York, the Mecca of his ministerial
ambition--but it was not so easy to get the
position permanently, in the face Of arule
which made it imperative on the bishops
to change the ministers every four years.
But with man of DR.. Newman's ambi-
ton and enthusiastic temperament the
situation was not so embarrassing as it
might have been to one of a more staid
and less enthusiastic turn.
The doctor was equal to the emergency.
He cut the gordian knot by leaving the
Methodists and joining the Congrega-
tionalists, carry ing, of course, Gen
Grant with him.
Having been fully installed in his new
position, the doctor has concluded to mix
a little politics in with his religion to
give it zest. Gen. Grant being a Stall
wart, it naturally follows that the doctors
politics is of the Stalwart school, and being
invited to the Lincoln club dinner, and
called on for speech, the parson paid
his respects to the Half-breeds in the fol-
lowing pointed and ferclble speech:
ST proud to belong to that section of the party
known ss stalwarts. I do so from religious prin-
oiple: The names Of Washington, Lincoln, and
Grant have been mentioned. I want to speak of
another name-a name that will live when the
bronze is melted, and the marble crumbled and the
canvass faded away-a name that will live while the
stars shine-and that name is Roscoe Gonkling
tOheers for Roscoe Conkling,] majestic model of
mana man Of more than Attic eloquence, of
more than Roman logic-a man who can hold no his
hand Aristdes of old did and say there is stain
Of bride sthere-a man who preferred to go dewn
and ont of sight rather than sacrifice principle!
All honor to the name of Roscoe Conkling."
The indications are that if Guiteau
could get stay of proceedings in his
case for ninety days, the way to freedom
would be open before him. The scenes
are being shifted with no little dexterlty
and turbulence, and while it may be true
that there is reverence for the dead, it is
doubtless equally true that there is con-
tempt for the living.

[Blue Earth City Post, Feb: I'll
A mass meeting is to be held at Winnie.
bago City, on Saturday, the 18th, to discuss
the wheat swindle, and on Saturday, the 25th,
a similar meeting will be held in this place
to consider the best means to adopt which
will promote the farmers interest. 1t is very
evident that the Millers' Association controls
the wheat markets of the state, and regulates
the price and grades, and the discrimination
against the producers has become very appar-
emit to all, hence these meetings.
CALL FOR MASS MEETING.
WHEREAS, During the year 1869 and 10,
there existed in this state gigantic grain and
railroad monopoly, which Disseminated in
favor of few to the detriment of the many;
and,
WHEREAS, The people at that time gave ex-
preston at their indignation at such monop-
oily and discrimination in rates. by the passage
of law in 1871, regulating such freights and
tariffs and preventing discrimination: and,
WHEREAS, the Indignation expressed by
mass meetings, and the passage of such law
and the supreme court decision sustaining
such law for time being and for some years
thereafter, remedied to great extent, the
difficulty then existing, and whereas, the
railroad companies, by their promises to
faithfully comply with the constitution to
charge equal and reasonable rates and with
out discriminating said law of 1871 was re-
pealed: and,
WHEREAS, meeting has recently been held
at Minneapolis, in this state, by the grain
buyers and representatives of the different
railroads, and a gigantic combination and
monopoly has been formed, thereby reducing
the prices and grades of wheat, and thereby
preventing all competition, discrimination in
favor of the few and against the many, and
which monopoly not only largely affects the
interests of the producer, but is of incalcu-
liable damage to all classes of business;
Now therefore, in view of the movement III
other localities, in opposition to such monop-
oily and combination, it is considered of inter:
est to the farming community anc business
men in this vicinity, that they meet together
and give some expression on this subject of
such vital Importance, and to such end mass
meeting will be held at the court house in
Blue Earth City, on Saturday, the 25th inst,
at o'clock p. m. of said day.

Only a Farmers Daughter

The Elliott Barnes combination will appear
at the opera house to night in the successful
play of "Only farmers Daughter" an at
traction which has drawn large audiences and
received great deal of favorable comment.
Of the play the st. Louis Globe-Denocrat
write as follows:
An immense audience witnessed the produc-
ton of "Only Farmers Daughter at the
Olympic theatre last night. The play is in
the nature of melodrama, and partakes of
the eccentricities peculiar to sensational pro-
ductlons. It is interesting, though trite; it is
full Of good situations. The story is that of
an adventures and her accomplish, who es-
cape the penitentiary, and enter professedly
fashionable society to obtain money by black
mailing and other wicked devices. The ruin
of the household is prevented by a dream of
the principal victim, who lies down to sleep
at the close of the second act. The truest
portion of the play is the unfaltering fidelity
of the outcast woman to the object of her af-
fections. The cast was as interesting as the
play.
