The administration has become some
what noted for it's invention Of terms,
or phrases, for our political vocabula-
ry, but noae have been so unique as
the phrase ga misconception of duty"
1t was invented as an excuse for par
doning a bnlldoser and at the same
time to cover a shameful abuse of eX-
ecutive clemency in pardoning him.
The application Of the term, too, makes
it simply grotesque and Ridiculous.
AS is known it WAS used in connection
With or in the statement setting forth
the reasons for extending executive
clemency to lieutenant of the Cincin-
natti police, who, at the ELECTION last
October, arrested over 100 negroes and
committed them to prison, tischarsins
them without trial after the polls had
closed. They were arrested without
warrant, imprisoned and were allowed
no communication with any one out
side, and were, as we have said, releas
ed after the polls were closed says the
Coast~Mail. They were imprisoned to
keep them from voting or the repuh-
lican candidates. Such an outrage AS
this might have occurred in the south
unler the system of bulllozing obtain
ing there, but it almost seeens incred-
i,ie that it should have taken place
in northern city. But it did, and
when the perpetrator was brought to
trial the evidence was overwhelmingly
ag inst him, AMI he was convicted and
sentenced to one years imprisonment.
Before h ,lf the term of his justly ian
posed punishment has expired the pres
ident intervenes in his behalf and liber-
ates him. His exertions in depriving
collored men of the right to vote had
been put forth in the interest of the
democratic party, and the president the
democratic party elected rewards his
fidelity by relieving him from the pen
atty of his crime against the most ex-
alted right and privilege of American
citizenship. The grouu:l of his par
don is his previous good character and
the possibility that he may have mis-
apprehen led the duties of his Office.
We can see no excuse for Cleveland's s
statement for his clemency-the crime
proved was one Of the most heinous,
striking AS it did at the foundation of
our institutions, for if the freedom of
the Individual voter, however weak
and humble, cannot be protected
against expressions, our sovern nen5 IS

and encouragement to the methods
which are known SO certainly to have
made the south solid The Cincinatti
episode was in keeping with the efforts
of Meade and others in Copiah county,
Miss, and if the Cincinatti policeman
was excused on the ground of misap-
pretending his duties, shere was no
consistency in not pardoning Meade
and not allowing him to retain the
office to which he was appointed.
Meade bulldozed for the democracy in
Mississippi, and the police officer bull
dozed for the party in Cincinnati.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

As harvest time approaches, the in
terest in the yield of the various kinds
of grain increases, and discussion is free
" INDUCED i'm as to the probable out
come of the farmers year of toll. Hav-
ing just returned from New York, We
are prepared to state that our observa-
ton does not give evidence of very
fiattering state of affairs in the Middle
States. Wheat through New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana is very
light. Corn is small and the yield will
necessarily be light. In Illinois, crops
are better than farther east, Wisconsin
likewise, while Minnesota gives prom
Use of holding her own with adjoining
States; but when this is said il must be
borne i'm mind that there is going to be
no such wheat yield in Minnesota as was
produced last year. AS the harvest APP
proaches, II becomes more apparent that
the probable yield of wheat in this state
has been decidedly overestimated. 1t
stands hin on the ground, but il has a
good healthy growth thus far. Corn
looks quite as well here rs it does far
Their east, still the weather must warm
up if We are to have an average yield
of this product. Bradstreet, after II most
careful estimate, based upon informa-
ton gathered from all sections of ihe
( country, claims there will be a shortage
in wheat this year as compared with last
of $50, OOG, 900 bushels. Taking an aver
age of the yield for the past five years
and this journal is led to assert that the
crop will fall ia, OOO, 900 bushels short
There is very little doubt but the es
timated shortage, great az it is, will bt
more than realized after the threshers
shall have told the whole truth If tins
be true, very considerable advanc,
above the prices received for wheat
during the past year must follow, hence
what our farmers lack in bushels they
will likely make up in price.
In consequence of the uncertainty o
our annual harvest, business is exceed
ingly dull throughout the east. Money
is plenty, to be sure, but capitalists have
no disposition TO invest in business en-
terprises nor to take any chances il
speculation. Wall street in New Yorl
is as quiet as some country cross-road al
compared with times when confidenc,
is mistaken, and stocks are hard to dis
pose of at any price. But not withstand
ing this fact, the farmers of Minnesot,
need nurse no fears, for when times ar,
hard for gamblers, it may be rich gath
erirg for the producers.

INHUMAN TREATMENT

Coon THUNDER, July I, 1885.
Editor Free Press.
In our village few days ago occurred
the following: A man under the in.
fluence of liquor, and wanting more, was
knocked down by the saloon keeper,
and while on the floor in helpless con.
dition, was pounded by that person un-
til his face was a mass of unsightly flesh
which would scarcely be recognized as
that of human being. lie was then
dragged to machine shed where he
lay unable to eat or hardly move for
twenty-four hours. The above was wit
messed by about half dozen of our citi-
Zens, who interfered to save the man
from being murdered. 1t is not neces-
sary to comment much on the above.
It is one of the occurrences which fire.
quently happen as the result Of our com.
missioners licensing men to do this kind
of work, which the law says they may
do. If this man were complained OF
and his license revoked, we see no rea-
son why another and perhaps worse
man would not take his place. Person
ally, this man has always treated us
we'll, he is probably as good as the rest
of the men licensed to do the same work.
We want the boys and young men OF
our county to think this matter over,
and see whether they wish to patronize
these places or vote for men who will
favor the business. also to see what they
will come to if the demon of strong
drink gets the mastery over them.

TIE st. Cloud Journal Press: The Man.
kato FREE PRESS devoted a half column
in its last issue to the question of the
second states prison, insisting that il
should be located at stone quarry and
setting forth the advantages offered by
the stone quarries near that city ~ site
for the proposed penitentiary. IL Till
FREE Press will read up on the law
passed last winter appointing the Com.
inissioners to select location for this
institution, 1t will find that it expressly
states that it shall be at stone quarry
and north of AnOka county. In other
words, the far-seeing legislature might
about as well have inserted the name OF
st. Cloud as the location desired and
have avoided the expense of the Com
missioners.
If the Journal Press will read up on the
law passed last winter, providing for
the location of this institution it will
find that the provision referred to is not
in the State prison measure, or else our
memory is at fault.

statue:
When Patrick Henry put his old cast
iron spectacles back on the top of his
head and whooped for liberty he did not
know that some day we would have
more of it than we know what to dc
with. He little dreamed that the time
would come when we would have more
liberty than We could pay for. When
Mr.. Henry sawed the air and shouted
for liberty or death do not believe that
he knew that the time would come
when liberty would stand knee-deep in

for solid place to stand upon.
