COUNTY SEAT WAR.

| Another Story of the Mob PROCEEDINGS in
Grant County, d. T, and Some Legal
| Points.
WILMoT, D. T., Fob. 7.-Some months ago
the commissioner from this district, A. N.
Barron, the county clerk and citizens of Big
| Stone City, who had an opportunity to watch
| he Commissioners Cameron and Stearns' bro.
| ceedings, commenced an exposure of their ex.
cessive and reckless appropriations of county
funds, and subsequently, citizens brought &C
lion against two commissioners pending now
to be tried in July. The only penalty is re.
| noval from office. The principal part of the
appropriations having been made in the inter-
st of Milhank. an alliance has been formed
between the people of that village and these
TWO commissioners with the object of OBJ
tanning the county seat from Big Stone
City. In October these two commissioners
ordered the clerk to issue notices of an cleo.
ton on the removal of the county seat. An
injunction was obtained, restraining the clerk
from issuing such notices on the grounds that
it was an annual and not general election as
subsequently dismissed on technicality, but
too late to Issue twenty days before election.
vote was crowded on the people, Big Stone
and this section pulling together for the COM
missioner and the county seat. The vote was
officially canvassed, resulting in twenty-three
majority for Big Stone City and forty-sx ma
jority for A. W. Barrows. The struggle has
since been made by these two commissioners
and the Milbank people to get possession of
the records and re-canvass, and throw out
sufficient precincts to change the result Big
Stone is acting upon the defensive.
Last Tuesday the Milbankers obtained a
temporary suspension of the clerk
and the two commissioners, backed by 200
| men, went to Big Stone, and without notify
ing the other commissioner or calling ses-
sion of the board, appointed their clerk and
| undertook to remove the clerks records,
| which was prevented by the sheriff and citi-
zens. Then without any recanvass or session
| they declared the county seat removed to Mil
bank, the county treasurer and clerk of court,
who live at Milbank, taking their Office up
there.
There has been such things done as stealing
county seats, and that seems to be the object
| AS every effort to obtain an opinion from the
courts on the merits Of the case by the Big
Stone people has been evaded by technicalities
| by the Milbank people, and instead of con-
| in court, they have visited Big Stone in mob
force, which is not a very peaceable manner
of settling disputes. This proceeding is gain
ing friends for Big Stone from this section of
the county.

TIME FOR 4 LITTLE DEoENCF.

TIME FOR Il LITTLE DECENCY.
From partisan standpoint the GLOBE
would rather enjoy the squabbles of the
Hoosier editors of the Pioneer Press on the
one hand and the evening Dispatch on
the other in their frantic endeavors, aided
by the lesser lights published in the ru.
raj districts, to rend the Republican par.
ty in twain. One would infer
from the articles which daily ap-
pear in these papers, that the
outgoing State administration was per-
meated with the foulest corruption, or
that the new comers had sought the high
offices of the State simply for the pur-
pose of stealing, or squandering upon
political favorites, the peoples money.
For the sake Of journalistic, if not fol-
common decency, it is high time this kind
of warfare should cease. The people OF
Minnesota cannot be induced
by any denunciations of the Dispatch, OF
the kindred small fry, to believe that
John S. Pillsbury is, personally, other
than strictly honest man, who has filled
three terms as Governor of the state in q
manner that was not only creditable to
himself, but highly useful to the COM
monwealth.

ly imported Hoosier editors of the p. p,

FRIDAY ENEG, MAY -, lSs2
Partisan Piunder.

A table prepared by the Pittsburg
Post shows to what extent the party
of moral ideas will 90 TO perpetuate
its power, if anything could be done
which would emphasize the iniqui,ous
scheme by which the Will of the peo-
pie of the whole nation was subvert-
ed a few years ago. The plan now
is, in those States which have IA Re
publican majority, to SO apportion
Congressional representation as to
deprive the minority of anything
like fair ratio. This course can
only find sanction under the fall
lacious doctrine that might makes
right. 1t is only in broad theo-
retical sense that the majority is al
ways right. When the action of the
people, or their Representa- ives, is
wrong, all the sophisfry i'll the world
will not make it right. When ii
policy conflicts with the cardinal
principles of justice, it is just as
much to be deprecated, If sanctioned
by the tyrannica rule of mob, as if
emanating from despot. The 10 g
continuation of such acts will ultima
tely bear its legitimate fruit, and re-
suit in the downfall of those who
place their reliance upon means
which no free man can with lin de-
liberation sanction. Here is the
Posts table:
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1882-05-19
Republican. Democratic.

The table includes the Greenback
vote with the Democratic vote, but is
otherwise accurate enough. 1t does
not require any argument to dem
onstrate that the scheme whereby l.
866, 400 Republican votes secure 80
Representatives in Congress, and L.
GAL 200 Democrats have but 81 Rep
resentatives, is essentially unfair,
and that it required extraordinary
manipulations to reach snch a result.
With So per cent. of votes, the Re-
publicans. it is claimed, shall secure
80 per cent. of the Congressman;
while with Al per cent. If the votes,
the opposition must perforce content
itself with representation Of but
20 per cent. The precedent being
set, Missouri aud other States in
which the Democrats are in power,
it is safe to assume will be as I'M
fair as Michigan, Iowa, Kansas OF
Minnesota. They will endeavor to
prevent the minority from securing q
single Representative; but it is no,
possible that in any section of the
Union any party shall make so un'
fair an apportionment as is made, OF
is in process of making, in the eight
States included in this table.

over three or four blocks, scattering
them on house-tops, often times i'll

were torn down, and this did much
towards saving the lilly and Hiltz
