THE HISTORY OF A POSTOFFICE
MENDIOANT.

The recent attack OF Charley johnson,
through the colum ms of the Minneapolis
Tribune, upon his late employers of the
Pioneer Press has stirred up the history
OF the removal of the newspaper mendi-
cant of the p. p. from the St. Paul most
office IN 1873. That paper undertakes to
give the history of that matter in order
to correct Charley Johnson, but it falsi-
fies the record badly. The present edi-
tors OF the Pioneer Press were basking
in the sunshine in the swamps of Indiana
in 1875, and hen ce have no personal
knowledge OF what occurred. They have
imperfectly skinned over the files of the
paper during Dir. Wheelock's incumben-
cy, and rushed in to make fools of them
selves by displaying a smattering of the
history concerning which they really
know nothing.
The young men now in charge say that
the terms agreed upon BY the Pioneer and
the Press for consolidation, involy-
ed the resignation Of the postoffice BY Mr..
Wheelock. There is no better evidence
OF Mr.. Wheelock's present incapacity
than that statement. Inasmuch as he is
not now in position to speak for him
self, it is only fair to give his version in
the past. So farfrom desiring;to resign,
he begged most pitably to be allowed to
remain to the end of his term. There was
no lofty scorn, as the present editor of
the p. p. would have the public believe.
but downright solid plea for mercy and
the postofice. Here is the abject letter
which Wheelock wrote the postmaster
general on March 21st, 1875:
recently learned, to my surprise, that Sen.
ator Mcmillan had been urging my removal.

Another Attempt to Strike the Northern

Especial to Western Associated Press

Especial to Western Associated Press.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-There was
resolution introduced by Senator Blair
yesterday directing the public land com.
mlttee to inquire into the operations and
land laws and report any legislation tend
ed to improve it. This was intended by
its authority to cover the matter Of land
grants to railroads. Also it includes
among others the Northern Pacific land
grant and the decision of Secretary
Schurz which affirmed that company's
right to the land granted it after the
time specified by the grants had expired.
Blair is member of the ub-committee
on public lands, which has been inquir-
ing into the workings Of the general land
office here and the necessity for giving it
more room. In the course of its inquiry
the sub committee obtained information
which leads them to believe that some of
the land laws are defective, and that
some of the lands granted to railroads
has been forfeited and now belongs to
the government. The Blair resolution
was to enlarge the scope of this inquiry
so as to include matters pertaining to
lands and the disposition of them.

TOO UTTERLY HORRIBLE.
A Republican Paper Issti,'s0tes That the
Ramsey Gang We're not Altogether Honest
-This In TIM TnA-
rAlbert Lee STANDARDIZED

This Is Too, Too
(Albert Lee STANDARDIZED
The Pioneer Press few days since came out
in lengthy editorial charging that certain
politicians of this state had extorted promise
from Senator Window, as condition OF their
support for election to the senate, that they
should be permitted to control the federal
patronage in this state, and as result OF that
extorted promise, certain appointments had
been made, and certain others were to follow.
How much truth there may be In all this, we
we do not know, but when We remember the
many charges affecting our public men which
have been made by the Pioneer Press only 10
be humbly retracted, we feel justified in taking
this last dose with some degree OF allow
ance. But however that may be, we rise to
remark that the same paper and its predeces-
sor-the Press-under the same management
and editorial control which now directs the
hyphenated concern, was for years the organ,
and its editor and manager were the first lieu
tenants of one of the most INSCRIPTIONS IRON
clad political organizations which ever ruled
thislor any other state-the Ramsey ring. It
is a we'll known fact--and by nobody better
known than by j. A. Wheelock and Frederick
Driscoll-that the most corrupt means were
used in 1869 and tried again in 1875, to re-elect
Senator Ramsey. Offices were promised right
and lett ana money was leIJ IN con-
venient places under stones and in
some instances paid to secure votes for
this great and good man; who was and appar
emily still is, in the estimation of the Pioneer
Press, an immortal model for all coming poll
ticians and statesmen. We need only to par
ticularize by referring to the scenes enacted
in st. Paul in the winter of 1869 when an at
tempt was made to bride Mr.. 1ngerman, of
Hennepin county; when two opponents Of
Ramsey were suddenly converted by the judi
cfous use of "seed wheat,' and another vote
was bought by written promise of a lucra
tive federal Office, which said promise, we are
informed and believe, was locked up and de-
posted until fulfillment in the safe of prom
inent Minneapolis politician whom the
Pioneer Press ranks as second only to
Ramsey. When exposure of these disgraceful
facts came, as they did, what did the virtuous
Pioneer Press do about it? Did it desert Ram
sey and his crew and denounce their acts? Not
at all. 1t made merry over the revelations
and did all it could to break their force on the
public mind, in the meantime doing its level
best to enable the perpetrators to carry out
infamous schemes and reap the rewards of
their corruption. Whence, then, this sudden
change of front-this miraculous conversion
this deathbed repentance? Simply because
the boot is now on the other leg and the other
emasculated bovine is being impaled upon the
cranial protuberance OF its angry opponent.

A WISCONSIN, MURDER.
A Brutal Crime Perpetrated In Buffalo
County.

Brutal Crime Perpetrated In Buffalo
County.
[Pepin County (Wis.) Courier.]
The town of Maxville, Buffalo county,
was the scene of a horrible and brutal
murder Monday last. The particulars of
the affair, as near as we can ascertain
them, are as follows: Titus Hoyt, who
resides on the bluff about three miles
south of Durand, had let some of his
land to Rhoda Carroll on shares. There
had been some dispute about the division
of the crop, and Monday forenoon Car
roll and his two oldest boys, Robert and
John, took several teams and went to
Heyt's place for the purpose of taking
what they claimed as their share of the
crops. Mrs. Hoyt sent after Titus and
his father in law, VIM. Clark, who came
from the woods and forbid Carroll taking
anything from the premises. After some
quarreling, Rhoda slapped Titus face,
and they had short trough and
tumble,'' but no one was hurt,
and Clark and Mr.. John Johnson
separated them. A few minutes af-
terward they had another tussle with
about the same result. Rhoda, Hoyt and
Clark then stood talking matters over
when Clark heard something drop and
turning around saw Hoyt on the ground
and the two Carroll boys standing over
him with pitchforks. Hoyt tried to get
up, but could not do it. Clark asked,
(which one of them hit you, liter" and
Hoyt said, "both of Them" and the boys
exclaimed, eyes, we fixed him.
Hoyt never spoke afterwards. He was
placed on sled and taken to the house,
where he fingered in an unconscious con-
dition until O'Clock when he died. Hoyt
was quiet, hard working young man,
about thirty years old. He leaves wife
and several small children in straighten-
ed circumstances.
The Carols were all arrested and
brought before Justice "a. B. Stone on
Tuesday for examination, and the hear
ing was postponed until the Goth.

Marry in Haste and Repent at Leisure.

New YORK, Jan. 2O.-Jeanette Tilden
brought an action in the supreme court for a
limited divorce from her husband Nurlano G.
Tilden, and to-day Judge Barrett signed the
order directing him to pay her weekly ali
mony of $25 and counsel fee of $3.50. She
claims they were married bya justice of the
peace in 1874 the only witnesses being her
father and mother. By agreement the mar
riage was to be kept quiet. He was but Is
years of age and desired to take bis degree at
Harvard University before publicly acknowl-
edging his marriage. They passed among their
friends as engaged. In 1875 he ceased to visit
her and subsequently by the death of his father
Mr. Tilden became possessed of fortune of
$4,000 Defendant claims the marriage was
procured by design, his wife being much
older than he is, and having subsequently con-
fessed she had designed on him. He also says
that he was under the influence of wine at he
time and has brought an action to annul the
marriage. These allegations Mrs. Tilden de-

The Wheat Market.

The mere candid wheat buyers admit
that the difference of fifteen cents which
is now made between No. 2 and No. 8
wheat, is too much, and that it should
not be more than ten cents, but some of
them say that before the change was
made the difference was just as much out
of the way in favor of the farmer, and
that the buyers will keep it at fifteen
cents until they get even on the losses
which they incurred before the change.
The old adage says "look for money
where you lost it," and we suppose wheat
BUYERS as we'll as others have adopted
this as one of the maxims of success, and
that they are able to act upon it is one of
the most serious grounds of complaint
among the wheat sellers, because the fact
that it can be put in force implies that
the buyer instead of the seller fixes the
price upon the staple product of the
country, which reverses fundamental
law governing business transactions.
It is said that when the wheat syndi-
cate has fixed its prices and their relative
difference the farmer can accept them or
not as he chooses, but this is mistake.
He has no opportunity to sell, for even
when the mills run short of wheat and
are willing to buy it at higher rates than
the shippers will pay they find insur-
mountable difficulties in the way, placed
there by buyers, and, it is said, by some
of the railroad companies also. But the
main trouble with the wheat business is
the recognized fact that the buyers can
through their organization and commu-
nifty of interest fix the price. This being
true, the quick conclusion is that they
will fix it in their favor. Every man
reasons upon this subject from COM
mon sense point Of view, which is that if
he wants to buy anything and can dictate
its price he certainly will not put it at
figure that will involve himself in loss,
and to avoid all risks will be apt to make
an allowance for rather wide margin.
The correctness for this reasoning cannot
be disputed if its premises be granted land
this is the reason why wheat buyers are
regarded with suspicion.

A Guiteau on a Small Scale

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 20-On the trial of
James B. Graves for the murder of Edward P.
Solder, Graves testified he was born in Eng
land in 1919. On the evening of the shooting
he went to his room and got his pistol and
went out to intercept Seder and shot him. He
was acting under an irresistible impulse. He
was downcast, thinking about his trouble and
grievances. Did not know what made him
do it. Did not know then whether it was
right or wrong. Lost all control of himself.
DR.. VIM. O'Gorman testified he had examined
Graves and found him of sound mind. Did
not believe in insanity that comes when you

SUMNER LADD, SWORN,

my opinion, but matter of fact. JudgeCox,

straining every nerve to do so. A motion
having been raised, his confused mind, in
making up his decision, was apparent. His
physical appearance was about as usual except
his eyes, which had peculiar CLEAN. The
only time ever saw him in the evening there
were no shades over the light which were usual;
his confusion seemed to be quandary as to
how to decide the question; witness admitted
