TIE GREAT ROBBERY.

The results of the meeting held late
last fall under the auspices of the Mime
apolis Millers' Association, to depress the
grades and price of the great staple of
the state, wheat, have been most disas-
trous to all the interests of the state
Although the movement originated with
the Minneapolis millers they spread a
drag net to cover the greater part of the
state. They knew that the regions north
and west of their city were completely in
their power, and therefore not single
wheat buyer from the lines of the St.
Paul and Manitoba road, or the Northern
Pacific were invited to this important
conference or congress, which, in its
results were of more Importance than
half dozen legislatures to the business
interests and prosperity of the people.
But the wheat buyers, who have posses
sion of the markets south and east of
Minneapolis, were all called in: Van
Deuzen s. Co., of Rochester; Kellogg &
Lange, of Hastings; Kellogg & Muller, of
La Crosse; Bassett & Hunting, of Nc
Gregor; Fl. W. Pratt, of Faribault and r.
Barden, of St. Paul, were present with
the millers of Minneapolis; the millers of
the rest of the state were not repre-
Sented.
The notice that called the meeting re-
quested ''the grain dealers of the North
west to meet with the Millers' Associa-
ton, at their office, to confer in relation
to the best method of handling the crop
of wheat that is out of condition, or de-
vising uniform means for handling this
eery peculiar CROP" Reporters of news
papers were all shut out from this meet
ing, which was to fix, for months to come,
the value of the productions of the peo-
pie of Minnesota, and to determine
whether the farmers and the country
merchants were to have anything or
nothing for their years toll; for it needs
no argument to show that when the
farmers are robbed of their profit the
capital of the merchants is threatened.
What was done in this secret dark
lantern conference What resolution
was arrived at by those enemies of the
people!
In the first place they lowered the grade
of every bushel of wheat in every grain
house of all the northwestern quarter OF
the state, which had been denied repre-
sentation at this meeting; and they low.

Madison (Wis.) Journal, Feb. 81
The railroad committee of the Assem-

for the consideration and discussion of
the senate bill comforting the unearned
portion of the st. Croix and Superior
land grant upon the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis, and Omaha Railway Com

the chamber was well filled with sena-

thither by the general interest manifested
in the bill under consideration; and from
the further fact it was understood that
Col. John c. Spooner, solicitor of the rail
road company, was to present its claims
for the grant. Col. Spooneris thoroug bly,

before the committee. in proper order,
the history Of the land grant from 1856 to
the present time, and reviewed the legis-

national, and the decisions OF the courts
bearing upon the question. He made an
argument which seemed to make 1t con-
elusive that the company he represented
was in law and in equity entitled to the
grant, and his speech created profound
impression upon all who heard it. We

The 1enote.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The report Of the
treasury cattle commission on pleuro-pneumo-
mia was called for.
On Tuesday next the judiciary committee
will ask to have the bill regarding polgyamy
in Utah considered.
Senator Morril said that after the pension
arrears resolution was voted on he would an.
tagonize all measures with the tariff commits
sion bill.
The bill to place Gen. Grant on the retired
list came up, but in the absence of Senator
Logan was laid over without losing its place
on the calendar.
The pension arrears resolution was then
again taken up, and Senator Maxey resumed
his remarks supporting the amendment, de-
claring in favor of the enlargement of the
Mexican war pension list.
Senator Beck said the principle had been
announced that an arrears of pensions should
be given to pensioners of all our
and that If this was carried out it
would bankrupt the country. He would vote
for properly guarded legislation to pension
the needy and deserving of our veterans, but
not those of them who did not need aid.
The resolution was laid aside and Frye
made speech on the tariff. He announced
himself protectionist from principle and
started out with the declaration that owing
to the familiar aspect of the subject and well
settled convictions of his hearers upon it. he
could not hope to enlighteen the senate either
as to the benefits of protection or the danger
of free trade and its twin sister ga tariff for
revenue only"
When Frye concluded his speech there was
an exciting session eand the senate adjourned
till Monday.

about midway on the river, the ice sud-
denly gave way and the team went
through, the horses parting from the
wagon and going under the ice almost
instantly. On arriving at Newport Mr.
Asziann secured the services of another
team and concluded to make the route
home by way of this city. The most
singular part of the accident was that
teams were crossing by the same route
during the forenoon and another one OF
his teams crossed about fifteen minutes
previous to the accident. The loss to
