New York World: Mr.. Willard,
perhaps, has saved enough from the
wreck in which he is involved to keep
him from want, but is he any better
off, after his fitful struggle for fame
and riches, than the honest man who
sells papers at the corner, and blows
his fingers these frosty mornings, or
the hale, hearty, happy burgher who
furnished him his mutton week ago,
smoked his pipe by his own well-earn-
ed fireside and slept each night in

Receiver.
Letters similar to the one above
have been sent to the States represen-
tatives in Congress as well as to other
members of that body.
The Brainerd Tribune believes in
supporting home talent. 1t says:
fit does become Coy. Hubbard's
pleasant duty to appoint successor
to Senator Mcmillan, how would
Hon. c. f. Kindred, of ours, suit his
eXceliency? 1t will he remembered
that in the senatorial contest when Sa-
bin was chosen. Mr.. Kindred IS fore
es long held the balance Of power, as
it were. Here would be a splendid
chance to secure an able man to the
senate, and at the same time give pro-
per recognition to Northern Minneso-
ia: We presume also that Congress
man Nelson would gladly assent.
A greater power than the Edmund's
bill is at work. Within IL few years
past ninty schools with 100 teachers
have been planted in the strong holds
of Mormondom by money from New
England and elsewhere, and the num-
Der is rapidly increasing.
Washington's birthday is falling
into disrepute. The democratic
national committee will meet on that
day.
A bill has been introduced in the
Mississippi legislature for the aboli-

The present agitation of the wheat
question will continue until railroads
are built through this northwest con-
nection with competing points, when
this is done Minneapolis monopoly
will be an impossibility.
Morris tribune., 1884-01-16

The Minneapolis Millers Association
is curse to the wheat producing
northwest. It's methods of over
towering all opposition where such a
thing is possible, and after having
gained control of the market, Its
practice of dishonest grading and of
brow-beating and of keeping prices
down to point that is productive OF
mortgages on the part of the farmer
but whichis immensely profitable to
them, have all been clearly shown.
If any further demonstration of the
innate wickedness of the association
is needed instances may now be seen
at Grand Forks and Fergus Falls.
At the former place, when the farmers
protested at their treatment OF them,
the company withdrew at once from
the market, leaving no place in the
city where wheat could be sold. AT
Fergus Falls three weeks ago, the Red
River Mills put up the price OF wheat
to ninty cents, nine cents above the
MIXERS Association price. An agent
CT the p. & H. company Immediately
appeared and trieS to compel the local
miilers to follow tfeir prices. He was
unsuccessful, and tie company at once
raised its price, at two or three points
which would dram Fergus Falls OF
wheat, to nintv..ive cents. We are
glad toll this effort to boycott
unsuccessful and
4-.>eiy co be.
If the association had only been
moderate in its hoggishness, had 1t
been content to crush the life blood
out of the wheat raising industry OF
the Northwest slowly, the life of this
gigantic monopoly would have been
greatly heightened, but as it is the
whole country is up in arms against 1t.
From the number of independent
elevators being built throughout the
country and the many places planning
for direct rail connection with Duluth
on thsOne side or with st. Louis upon
the other, ii is quite evident that soon
there will be competition in the wheat
market which the millers can not
crush. When this shall have been
brought about the association must
nav the farmer wha this wheat is
worth Or allow the grain to so else
where. The days Of oppression are
nearly ended.

lie Sueur has taken the bull

s'It has been known to nearly every

large portion of the State, that for
many years past lie Sueur has been
one of the worst gambling places in

sible for this condition, and the time

Chi . News: Senator McAIIL-
of Minnesota, is spoken of as a
probable candidate for the United 51Tifiited
States judgeship made vacant by the
resignation of Judge McCRARY.
Whether the Minnesota senator has
authorized this use of his name is not
reported, but it is very natural that
those who know him and who desire
that'the integrity of the court be main
tanned should think of him in connec-
ton with the judgeship. His long ex-
perience on the Supreme bench in his
state and his eminent purity of heart
and mind are sufficient guaranty that
the already honorable position would
become still more honorable by his
occupancy of it.
