Morris tribune., 1884-02-20

Mcmillan is mu CHI less of man than
he has been Supp osed to be and is not
worthy of the SUI pport of Minnesota
for the judgeship or anything else.
Duluth Times: Senator Sherman
is enjoying gu ick boom for the
just now. He is said to be
backed by all the monied men and
big corporations nt.he country. Isn't
it just little early for the money
power to put up candidate pf its
own? The middle class have not yet
become effelr mate, nor have they
forgotten how to vote.
E3serton Enterprise: "There is
some talk of b lane being in the field
for the preside ncy. Should this prove
to be true the whole North west will
very probably give him n warm sup
port. One thing is reasonably certain.
will not be swiudleCl out OF
her vote and influence by patting
some pretentiolls demagogue on the
back lust for buncomb. Not this time"
The report of the Railroad Commits
sioner shows that as gatherer ana
preserver of valuable railway inform
alton, the present incumbent OF the
office is Il great success. Whether the
General is doing his full duty i'll in
charges of unjust discrim-
ination and in bringing about needed
reforms upon the numerous lines OF
transportation in the state is a matter
of considerable doubt.
The house upon the Todd county
Door farm took fire on Tuesday night
of last week from q defective chimney
and burned to the ground with It's
contents. There was no insurance.
At the time only two families were
dwelling in the house. The county
commissioners have reprehensibly ne
elected the poor farm and its unfortu-
nate tenants, and the institution has for
some time been without an overseer.
A correspondent of the Minnesota
Tribune of Otter Tail county says that
the wheat and railroad question will
be the issues of the next campaign
and that great care will be taken to
select high-priced men for the Legis-
lature-men who can't be bought up
cheap. The fact is the farmers have
grievances, and looked at from the
standpoint of mortgaged farm and
overdue notes they appear mountain
high"
The st Paul Dispatch aptly shows
the extent of the flood on the Ohio
by the following which will be readl-
ly understood by all who are acquaint-
ed with the clay of the land" at st.
Paul: "St. Paul is almost all on high
ground, but if the Mississippi at this
place tried to vie with the Ohio at Gin
cinnati, the water would get into the
thirdstory of the Merchants hotel and
the wholesale portion would be COM
pletely submerged.
Cincinnati Enquirer: If Mr.. Blame
is candidate for the presidency, he
should postpone the appearance OF
his book, whether it is to be good bad
or Indifferent, until after the Republic
can national convention; then if nom
mated, he should postpone it till
after election and if elected he should
postpone it indefinitely. A man in
politics cannot afford to be the e-'thor
of a book in whicar politics and poll
ticfans are discussed. -
Mr.. Strait is makIan effort to
induce seca elary Teller to reopen the
pension cases of persons who took
| part in the Indian war of 1862. 1t is
to be hoped that he will succeed. Men
who took part in that war even though
thew were volunteers under sheriff,
are as worthy of pensions as those who
were in the regular service Families
| of those who were killed and those
who were injured should not be de-
frauded of their just dues by red tape
| Glencoe Enterprise; The inevita-
BILE tax-paying season is right upon
us. Happy are they who are well
enough '.heeledn to meet the emer,
gency, but with wheat at present pri'
ces, many there are who will be
obliged to stave off payment and pay
the usurious State interest. Isn't it 8
little peculiar and trifle inconsistent
that State government which will
not allow individuals to collect more
than ten per cent will itself eharge
eighteen per cent?
Buffalo News: The Norwegians O
Minneapolis are bent upon dethronine
the king of Norway and Sweden ant
have subscribed $500 to aid in thu
work. If the king does not lose hi:
throne until the Norwegians of thi!
country compel him to make tracks
he is pretty certain to retain the bau
BILE. Instead of wasting money il
instructions the Norwegians of the
Northwest ought to depopulate Nor
way by emigration and leave the klnt
without anybody to govern.
| Ex.: One thing the farmer of thu
Red river valley may rest assured
no relief comes to them except through
the medium of the proposed Hudson
Bay railroad; the present generation
will die with the CALLING yoke o
oppression still about their necks
The best thing the farmers Of the REQ
river valley can do is to raise lesi
wheat and more other grain and stock
Diversified farming will do more fol
the Red river valley than dozen rail
roads to Hudson Bay or the north pole
