out he appeared among the people, who,
knowing him TO be a desperate man,,

engaged John A. Lovely, &. X. Davis
and u. G.. O'Brier. II syndicate of able
lawyers, to fight the matter before the

ground for making the fight is that the
old Sioux City company west Of St.
Paul, entered land as far as forty miles
from their road, while the reading of
tho law says they were only entitled to
every alternate section for limit of
ten miles on either side Of the track.
The railroad people claim they had
right to go outside and make up def.
ciencies, The fight is on, and the only
solution to the matter now is the final
decision Of the supreme bench, what
ever that may be.

Even 50 great an issue as prohibi-
tion when represented by party in
whose leadership they can have no con-
fidence cannot decoy them from their
honest convictions. We do not mean
to intimate that the leaders Of the
third party are dishonest, but that the
people have little confidence in their
political saRacity or ability. In other
words, they do not yet see the hope of
success in the party whose leaders are
either broken down politicians, minis.
