Raising the Rate.


The st. Paul meeting of the roads in
terested in Northwestern traffic, which
been previously noted, was conclud-
ed yesterday. After checking up the
grain rates from various stations in Min.
~nesota, Dakota and Iowa, and adjusting
satisfactorily the questions which have
arisen from the completion Of the Min
nesota & Northwestern, the question Of
transit rates was taken up. The hand
ling Of this matter was extremely ginger
ly, as the action of the Minnesota rail-
way commissioners renders the naming
of a fiat rate to Minneapolis and st.
Paul obligatory after the 18th inst. The
final action was taken to raise the Chi
cago rate between Minneapolis and st.
Paul from Is cents to III per 100 pounds.
1t is as yet too early to say much in re-
gard to the lev arrangement, but it is
hardly possible that the grain shippers
Of the two cities will regard this action
with any great degree of satisfaction, or
that they will invoke any very special
blessings upon the heads Of the commits
%sioners, whose action has been the prin-
cipal moving cause of the present adj
vance in rates, although it has been us
ual to make some such change at the
close of navigation each season. As the
matter stands now it looks rs if no one
will be injured in the deal, except the
farmer, IN whose nominal interest, the
ruling of the comm ~issioner wa made.

HERE is the closing paragraph Of a
Bismarck Journal editorial protesting
against the filing of charges to secure the
removal Of Gov. Pierce:
The attacks so persistently made upon
Dakota officials have brought discredit
rather than advantage to the Territory.
and it was to be hoped that the Demo-
Gratis in seeking to secure changes would
not adopt the methods Of the warning
Republican factions.
The INrER-OcRAN is under obligations
to the Journal for thus establishing the
responsibility for the discredit brought
to the Territory. We had hitherto sup.
posed that Dakota officials" were re.
sponsible, instead of "the attacks" made
upon them.

"THE low tricks of politicians were
not resorted to-" This is y sentence in
the report of the Republican conven-
ton held at Huron, in South Dakota,
Wednesday Of this week. Is it possible
that a political convention has been held
in Dakota and there were no broken
promises, no bare-faced lying, no decep-
ton, no swindling, no cheating, no sacri-
fee of personal honor, no buying of dele
gates, no partial rulings by the chair and
no pledges made to be broken in the flu
ture? 0, to have had a seat in that
convention, and been a witness to the
proceedings of the first political gather
ing in Dakota at which "the low tricks
of politicians were not resorted to-" and
rank rascality did not prevail.

thus establish the right that would just.
|ly exist for the admission of two Repub.
lican States.
But there is hidden motive on the
part of the South Dakota ~agitators.
They are in the majority, and when the
Territory is admitted as q state-as it
certainly will be this winter-they will
be in a position to dictate political terms
to the northern minority. In other
words, South Dakota will be the canine
that will. wag the North Dakota tail, and
if the statesmen who framed the Sioux
Falls constitution can manage to agree
and work rs q unit in the matter OF cap
ital location, there is n power to pre-
vent the removal of the seat government
from Bismarck. South Dakota will hold
the winning hand, because the failure
to secure division and admission will
have forged a bond of sympathy
among our southern brethren that will
unite the factions of Territorial days,
and the capital will be carried away by
storm. Dakota's first state legislature
will be a ''circus'' in comparison with
which all former Territorial gatherings
were dime side shows.
If the result of the agitation o going
on in South Dakota is eventually what
we have outlined above we sincerely
trust that the majority in the south will
be so large and SO thoroughly unani-
NOUS that North DaKota's political
rogues-the gentlemen with itching
%palms-will not be called upon to decide
the question.

Brainerd Talks.

WINNIPEG, Oct. GA reporter saw
Banker Brainerd this morning. Brain
erd said that as far as he was concerned
personally he thought too much pub
licity had already been given. to his
troubles by the newspapers, and he
would be very thankful to drop into OBJ
security and have no more said about
him, but his lawyer, Mr.. Perdue, thought
it would be better for him to give a cor.
rect version of the matter himself than
by keeping silent and allow garbled or
false reports to be circulated. Acting
on this advice, therefore, he consented
to answer all questions regarding his
movements since leaving Winnipeg.
Brainerd said: II went out for a short
drive across the river with Detective
N~ewbiggin, and when we got there we
were me by three men, who asked me
to get into a double rig they had with
them. l refused, and they placed me

Lou1svlLLs, KY, Oct. 20.-Your cor.
respondent ran across an exhibit today
in the agricultural machinery depart
ment which is perfectly new, and will in
terest especially your farmer readers.
If, a few years ago, the announcement
had been made that the ground would
soon be plowed and narrowed at the
same time, the average man would have
and justly, too-disbelieved the state
ment. In the southwest part of the
main building is an interesting exhibit
"A pillow attachment, or. pulverlzer,
which does the work of q harrow. The
attachment may be fastened to any pillow
at the standard, under the beam, by
means Of a clasp, and also to the ham
dies, and when adjusted is perfectly Sc.
cure and cannot move. Two knives
stand obliquely over the moldboard and
cut the turf on the clean side as it
comes from the pillow. The turf then
falls on the crooked knife at the heel of
the moldboard, and is cut by its own
weight. Then the oblique projecting
knives completely ~pulverize the ground.
This the attachment will do without
clogging or choking, and without mate
rally increasing the draft. You can use
it in any ground you car pillow, except
new ground, and it pulverizes the ground
as much as two borrowings. 1t be
attached to one horse as we'll as a two
horse pillow. 1t saves labor, time and ex.
pense, and it will be but a few years un-
til the h ,rrow will be laid away with the
sickle and scythe.
