The custom followed by Mercantile
agencies Of requesting Tom. Dick or
Harry, to report on the financial
standing Of business houses is fast
becoming very serious matter, AS
far as business interests arc concern
ed and it often results elsewhere az
it did with one of our strongest
business housss here last week. We
refer to false and malicious report
as to the condition of a prosperous
firm in Morris, sent to some CONNER!
cial agency by some irresponsible and
evidently unfriendly party, to the
effect that the firm was financially
embarrassed and in danger of going
under. The effect of this report was
to alarm all their creditors. who
rushed to town to secure themselves
az best they might. An examina ton
of the books and general condition of
the firm revealed the fact they were
not only solvent, but had heavy
when there is a stringency in the
money market, almost any house,
however solvent, doing business upon
other than strictly cash basis, may
be forced to suspend by a general de-
mand on the part of its creditors for
an immediate settlement, brought
about by the false report of a COM
uEercial agency. We hope that this
case we allude to will prove a salutary
lesson TO these reporters, ana tnat
the merchants of Morris may never
again have occasion to be indignant
over similar Misrepresentation

For downright practical wisdom
commend us to the untamed poet of
the Seirras-Joaquin Miller advises
that, if it is really necessary to ex-
pend land at once. the surplus moneys
in the United States Treasury. they
be used sin beautifying and refining
the heart Of the nation, and not in
brutalizing and defacing the boun-
daries of it," Ills latter phrase al
ludes to the proposition under con-
sideration for strengthening the coast
defences. The democratic party pro-
pose to begin the Herculean task of
'sbeautifying and refining" at the
next Presidential election, using only
the surplus votes of honest and deter.
mined citizens in the effort.

We have been pondering on this
question for several days and really
are deeply affected mt the unfortunate
position Senator Sahin's firm are in,
because If the state should refuse tr
rebuild, the firm must spend their
own money and build 1t themselves.
Why should not the Senator introduce
bill into the Senate, setting aside n
small slice Of that surplus revenue for
the purpose. The Senator could ex-
plain the peculiar relations existing
between his firm and the State of
Minnesota, AND could dwell particn-
larly on the power wieded by the
firm in legislative and congressional

done on the ground of conviction, bsst

1t is sad commentary on country
such as ours,-a government having
rulers elected by the people, and sup
posed, at all times to represent the
people--that we are obliged to witness
the corruption and fraud prevailing
in public offices, from the highest to
the lowest; from the cabinet officers,
who obtain their position as the price
Of services rendered, down to the
small-fry politicians who buy up
towns. The closer the contest and
the smaller the majority. the greater
is the departure from the proper type
of political honesty. It is one Of the
anomalies that men who would re-
sent charge, if made against their
personal honesty, seem to be unable
to draw the line between personal
and political dishonesty. After a
brief political experience, we are
forced to conclude that no man can
remain in politics (as politics now
go) for any length Of time and retain
proper sense of self respect. We
hope, however, to see the day when
men will be elected to Office on their
personal qualifications alone; when
the Office will seek the man, and when
the means now resorted to, in county,
state and national politics, by which
money and debauchery bring about a
successful result. will be superseded
by condition of things that will
reflect honor on the incumbent as
well as those who were instrumental
in placing him in disposition. Doubt.
less our ideas may seem utopian. but
we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure
of indulging in theln once In a while.

THE STRIKE ENDED.

THE STRIKE ENDED.
A dispatch to the TIMES from Belle

their demands having been complied
with by Superintendent Palmer.
We have never met the gentleman
named, nor any of his friends, and can
not, therefore, know the motives for
his actions. But we presume that he
is, like the rest Of mankind, liable to
be misled, either ny his own notions or
those of Others.
When first brought face to face
with a demand of the Miners Union,
what he deemed his better nature re-
volted at the bare thought OF anyone
intimating or dicating to him how he
should conduct his mine-his own
property, bought and paid for by his
own and his friends money, and he
resolved to resist to the bitter end.
The more he thought the matter over,
the more firmly did he resolve upon
resisting what he probably considered
the rnwarranted demands of the
miners-his employees. He proposed
to resist-aye, even to the death. if
necessary, and Thus show the world that
he, a free-horn Brton, was not to be
bulldozed.
This fe Ling probably lasted day
or ;w', when change gradually took
place, and he saw matters in a differ,
ent light. There he was, a millionaire,
with everything that makes life worth
living within his reach, holding out
against men struggling for the rights
which have been accorded unqueston.

little bit calling to submit to dicta-
ton; but, alter all, he could do as he
pleased, and no law could compel him
to keep the mine oprn-so that if he
acceded to the demands of the miners
he did ii Of his own free will.
ALI these thoughts probably passed
through his mind as he sat, listening
to its still, small voice, and he finally
concluded to be a man-to gladden.

We congratulate Mr.. Palmer for the
act, and assure him that he will not
be the loser by it. For, aside from
the personal satisfaction which he has
right to feel after his manly course,
he will be amply repaid by the more
sealous work, the untiring efforts of
