There seems to be quite fight in
Canada over the project of charter
ing a railroad from Brandon, a
point west of Winnipeg, to connect
with the st. P. NJ. & NJ. road at the
boundary south of there. Manitoba
wants the right to grant such char.
ters and better disposition of pub.
lie lands in the province, while the
general government does not want
to grant such independence and has
the powerful Canadian Pacific back.
ing it. it being financially, stronger
than the government. This is
shown iA the fact that the govern
ment was unable to build the road
and turned it over to the syndicate,
the foundation of the latter being
the Hudson's Bay company. How
ever, the people of Manitoba
say that they propose to have the
railroad, charter or no charter!

derstanding that lots of money will
be forthcoming if it is found satis-

project will be found feasible. 1t

''How are the Mighty Fallen.'

"HOW are the Mighty Fallen.'
That is a pretty good joke on the
Richland County Agricultural AS
sociation. The Farmers were bound
that no lawyers or bankers should
represent them in the legislature.
They wanted good, honest man !;
one who would fight the monoplies.
and could not be purchased with
filthy -lucre, or have his eyes blinded
by the glitter of gold. They were
determined that their members
should not even ride over railroads
with passes; that he must neither
give nor except favors ut the COM
pany's hands. Upon tlns platform
the candidates made the fight and
were elected. But 10 and behold,
what a change has come DER them
since election. a Minor man who
has an eye to business, went to
Wahpetun the other day and on the
train he met gray-haired mem.
her-elect of the legislature. The
Minor young man at once began
to pump the honored granger and
an interesting conversation ensued.
The member got his talk-work in on
monopOlies, railroads, elevators,
wheatgrading. ETC., and the Minor
man began to think the farmers
friend was really a first-class daisy.
At last the conductor entered the
coach, and when his cherry voice
rang out tickets" the monopoly
paralyzer began to fidget and grow
nervous, as the conductor approach
ed the would-bo sainted member
nervously arose from his seat and
clasped his side coat pocket with
suggestive. But the conductor
didn't twig. Then the great enemy
of capital and railroads walked to
the rear end of the car, tried to hide
behind the stove, and pulled an en-
velope from his pocket, from which
he drew little something that
caused the conductor to bow, smile
and walk on. The young man from
Minor fell over in his seat and
cried aloud IN the intense anguish of
his soul, How are the Mighty Fal-
len !! Lord save the farmer from
such champions. - -[Teller.
The farmers resolutions passed
at Dwight in their convention last
fall, treated wholly with railroad
monopolies. And Mr.. Stebbins
won the race wholly on the ground
of anti-railroad monopoly. /. Now
the question comes up, can a repre-
sentative of the people, who has his
mileage to and from the legislative
meeting paid by the people, accept
passes from railroads which he uses
at all times during the two years.
term. act just precisely toward
the railroads and the people in his
public duties as he would id, did he
not accept the passes? This would
be, perhaps, a pretty good time for
the hon. gentleman to rise and ex-
plain. Mr.. Stebbins has the floor.

Seconds the Motion.

The Devils Lake IxrER-OcEAN hits the
nail on the head in denouncing the
present requirement. of living six months
on a claim like a badger in y hole. A
poor man is crippled by this stringcncy
and is deprived of the advantage of
earning few dollars to improve his
claim that he might make it habitable
and supporting. Living up to the spirit
of the law is all right, in certain sense,
but in the strict meaning u poor man
has to surrender his opportunity.
