Good Showing for Mower County.


The 1880 census reports give us some
figures in regard to the population and
products of Mower county which are spe-
cially interesting. According to the
record, Mower county has made much
larger advance in population from 1870 to
1880 than any of her sister counties. The
population of this county in 1860 was only
1926, in 1870 it increased to 10,447, in
1880 to Is, 1877. While it will be seen that
Mower county increased, from 1870 to
1880, G,340, the large rich county of Fill
more to the east of US shows an increase
of but 4,065, Olmsted only 1,494, and
Freeborn to the west, 1878. This is bet
ter showing for Mower county than its
most enthusiastic friends had hoped for.
The native-born population of Mower
county in 1880 was 1874, foreign 1885.
The number of farms 1894. Improved
land 75,528 acres. Value $6,63S, 617.
Value of farm products in 1879, 81 ,SO8, 500,
equal to $107.73 to each man, woman and
child. Mower county raised in 1880,
], 1910, 900 bushels of wheat, 1,O44, 943
bushels of oats, and 423 113 bushels of
corn. Also SO, $40 pounds of butter, and
$40 pounds of cheese. No. of horses
1896, cows 6,693, cattle 500. These are
very encouraging figures, in spite of the
hard times of the past few years.

PLEASANT VALLEY, May 81. 1883.
EDITOR TRANsCRIPT:-ln your issue of
May I'd, notice an item from your Ian

Grimshaw has five months old calf,
mixed Holstein and Durham. that weighed
on the 3Oth day of March $50 lbs; on the
3Oth day Of April was again weighed, and
tipped the scale beam at 431 lbs, making
a gain of 81 lbs. in 30 days." and tri-
umphantly adds, Glow is that for calf?
Messrs. Carter and Ellis, have you any
thing that will beat that?" Now. as
neither Carter or Ellis have made any
reply to the above challenge, we would
naturally conclude they couldn't
beat it, and as we farmers of the
least side" are becoming interested in
thorough bred stock. deem it no more
than a friendly act to come to the front
and help Messrs. Carter and Ellis out of
this little scrape, by giving the weights of
umph," No. 1904, A. D. R., bred by John
w. Morse & Sons, of Verona, Dane Co.,
Wis, and purchased by myself of them
at the state fair last fall. The aforesaid
calf carried away from Minnesota the
blue ribbon, and the following week re-
ceived like token at the hands of the
judges of his class at the fair of his native
state. On the 5th day of November I
received the calf, and weighed him, and
he clipped" the beam at 648 lbs. at just
six months of age, which will be readily
seen was greater gain, per month, than
the Lansing calf. Again, on the 4th day
of May, at one year old, he weighed 800
lbs. If any calf in Mower county can
beat him we'll ''own the cCrn."

DR.. HOLSTERS Successor.

The acceptance by DIR. Hollister of a
federal appointment creates vacancy in
the Office of State Senator. Now, the
question naturally arises, who shall be his
successor. We desire to state, thus early,
and at the start, that we shall favor the
nomination and election of William T.
Wilkins, of this city, for the place, if he
will accept. If the position is rendered
to him by unanimous convention. which
we believe it will be, we do not think MI.
Wilkins will decline. The issues involved
in last falls canvass have been decided
and settled. To meet the issues of the
future as they shall come up, with good
judgment and justice to the different ele-
ments making up his constituency, we
believe Mr.. Wilkins eminently qualified
and Trustworthy. We bring forward Mr..
Wilkins name without his knowledge or
consent-becausew we are honestly DESTROYS
of seeing him elected to the place. It is
a position which he will honor, and to
which his many friends will be only too
glad to elect him. HI

Our State Militia.

The Minneapolis Tribune has the fol-
towing with reference to the state militia
of Minnesota, its advantages to the state
and to the young men who join it:
There are those in every community,
and especially in this western country,
who contend that the benefits to be de-
rived from the state militia are not suf
ficient to Justify its establishment and
maintenance This spirit, however is
fast dying out, and ere many years public
sentiment, even in comparatively obscure
localities, will be favorable to the militia.
At the time company A, LIST regiment,
was organized, it would no doubt have
been utterly impossible to secure the pas
sage by our state Legislature of anything
like Col. Bobleter's bill. That well
equipped and thoroughly disciplined state
use has been frequently and amply attest
ed during the past six or seven years.
That the existence in community of q
military company tends to keep alive
among the young the tender memories of
the terrible but sacred past, and thus stimu-
late love of country, and willingness,
should occasion require it, to emulate the
noble example of their fathers, are incon-
trovertible facts. There is nothing that
contributes so largely to the general tone
and character of city as its military, al
ways ready to appear and do the honors
upon state occasions. And as to the in
dfvidual benefits: Who is there in any
| of the older companies who has not been
benefited physically, socially and morally
by his connection Herewith? Our city
and St. Paul, and perhaps some other
cities in the state, contain large number

ment among themselves, and as there is
unfortunately but little in the city to at.
tract them but the saloon or billiard hall,

casion for surprise in finding the leading
resorts of this kind filled night after night
by young men who find nothing else to
do If they can be induced to join mill.
tary company, and subsequently develop
an interest in the company and in the
tactics that will bring them around upon
regular nights to engage in vigorous and
muscle making drill exercises, are they
not to be thankful for the healthfu
change that has occurred? We will leave
the question to be answered by some Of
the young militiamen, of the older organi
cations, especially. CONSPICUOUS ex
amples of physical benefits might be
found in company A. The best socia
affairs of the past two seasons have beer
under military auspices, and the socia
benefits are by no means insignificant
It is true, the state does as yet compare
lively little toward maintaining he]
militia, but in majority of instances
membership in a company proves to bt
economy inasmuch as the less manly anl
more expensive amusements alluded tt
are necessarily abandoned. Certain very
wholesome restrictions placed upon tn.
man in uniform have very decided
effect upon him, for respect for his ergani
zation and companions strengthens hin
in his obedience.

Two Important Decisions.

The Supreme Court of the United
States rendered two decisions yesterday
which are important not so much because
of the announcement of any new princi-
Piles as for re-affirming those already
fixed by the court. The first was refusal
to grant a rehearing in the Louisiana and
Virginia bond cases, thus fixing irrevo-
cably the right of State under certain
conditions to repudiate part of its in
debtedness. Readjusting in the Old Do
minion and open reputation by the
Legislature of Louisiana are thus re-
cognized as rights of those States with
which the General Government cannot
interfere.
The second decision again asserted the
power of States to fix or control charges
on railways. An Illinois corporation
made the claim that by virtue of its special
privileges in It's charter it had the right to
make certain charges without interference
by the State. The court reaches the con
clusion that this claim is untenable. The
general question of the power of the
States over such corporations had already
been asserted by decisions on cases taken
up from each of the States of Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin, but the bearing of
special charters had not received such a
close examination as to fix its place and
influence.
This would seem to settle the principle
of State regulation beyond recall or re-
versal. These decisions have now ex-
tended over a period Of more than six
years, during which time the personnel OF
the court has been subject to such changes
that only four of the members who par
ticipated in the consideration of the first
case now remain. With our attachment
to courts and Presidents this will be ac-
cepted as the settlement of great princi-
pie, and the Dartmouth College decision
will pass into history as an interesting
theory which could not stand the test of
time, necessity and experience with con-
ditions entirely different from those which
existed when that celebrated dictum was
put forth.-Philadelph Times, 8th,
