ANOTHER REASON.

Mr. Wheelock's administration speaks
for itself, every one knows what it has
beca. its faults and fOiblcs, its good quail
ties and its bad ones. bat the CRY is not
against his reign, it is against keeping a
man in "a mayors office for life. 1t is
against one man power and it is against
the means Mr.. Wheelock used TO secure
his nomination. When one man or q
parcel of men undertake 10 ride over a
community, how ever small or however
large, then that community asserts its in
dependence, then it arises with all its force
to counteract the pernicious power and
when that epoch in cItys municipal his
tory, victory generally follows. The pres
ent fight is not against the Hon. s
w. Wheelock it is against
Mayor WheeIock, not against
private citizen. but n public official,
who has served too long and needs rest.
Against Mr.. Wheclock as a man We say
nothing but it is time that a change
should occur Grant could have retired
from American politics the greatest man
Of the age; he could have been more
thought of than any living man But no;
there was peculiar fascination about
office that induced him. to again enter the
political arena, and in doing so he was
disastrously defeated by the gladiator,

the farmers away out ii the swani;.
in which they have been placed by
the manipulating procedure of tie
s ,Millers Association, wairh Is, in the
raising of stock, and not to put ali
their eggs in one basket by producing
nothing but wheat. 1t says wheat
is really worth eighty cents there, and
which price no doubt could be ob-
tanned were it not for the "rascals."
This council is good so far as in
ducing the farmers to have several re-
sources upon which to depend, in the
place of only one. 1t is proper and
just and no doubt profitable to raise
more or less stock, and we might add
turkeys, pork, eggs and potatoes, but
that the farmer should be absolutely
driven to raise all this and forsake
wheat because the "rascals" prevent
wheat from bringing what ''is really
worth" is feature not altogether
suited to our free Institutions i'll this
country, and one which the state
should not so humiliate itself, as to
allow of it being done. The Bulletin
from this takes the position, that the
rascals in power are defrauding, or by
their cunning are preventing the
farmers from obtaining a fair price
for their wheat; and if the many
complaints rom nearly all parts of the
state to the same effect are any proof
we conclude that the Bulletin is by
far more than half right. 1t is SO
public, and is becoming so much more
so, we may as we'll admit its truth,
ana face Old Nick upon the issue, bat
the damage which this prevailing sta;e
of facts will bring to Immigration, j.
worthy of something more than =
passing notice. Fl the state ut large
will permit this sore 10 aff1ict the
farmers now here, how .;iit it be -.
pected others will come to share :;
part of the wholesale ruin? The s;ats
and not the farmers must put ti.e

Pioneer Press: No less than twelve
bills are already awaiting congress
ional action for the relief of farmers
against drivewell extortions. So
serious have the latter been that the
state of Minnesota in 1879 appropria-
ted funds to contest the legality of the
patents by virtue of which they pur-
ported to be made-an appropriation
unique in litigation of this sort. BY
means of this appropriation the drive
well patents were contested, and de-
cision from the United States circuit
court OF Iowa was obtained denying
their validity; which the alleged
patentees, however, have appealed to
the United States supreme court.

There are at least half doZeu rail-
roads heading through SouthweSi
Minnesota, to points on the Northern
Pacific between Fargo and Bismarck,
and all of them give st. Panl the go by.
AS st. Paul is not much of a manufac-
turing town, and depends more largely
upon the commere from its rail-
roads, these western rail road schemes
around it, are not calculated to do it
any particular good. Minneapolis
which is more of a wheat, lumber, and
-four market, and what is more, foun-
ed upon its all sorts of manufacries,
will not feel the slight so keeniy, if it
will at all. Taking things all around
it now looks as if Minneapolis was ar
ranging in the near future, to distance
st. Paul in being a larger city, and
having the most business.

court on a claim that on May last the company
owned 5000 shares of the capital stock of the

the defendants had no right TO 1t, and that they
