THE CHARGE.

The following is an extract from
Judge Tyler's charge to the Grand
Jury:
> In all republican countries, such as ours, the
people, or such of them as possess the legal
qualifications, meet on fixed day, at desig-
mated place, to select the agents who are to
administer the government for them. The
law throws special safeguards around these
election days, as they are called. II the peo-
pie are to Iule, it is all important that the
most virtuous and intelligent should be called
to the front on those occasions-it is import
ant that the road to the ballot box should be
Kept open and unobstructed, and that good
citizens should be invited to the polls and not
deferred from voting. Election days are in
tended by law to be days of especial sobriety
and good order. All good citizens are inter
ested in seeing that they are kept us such
the perpetuity of our institutions depends on
the purity of the ballot box. Therefore if
rude and boisterous people crowd around the
polling place, and in a disorderly manner
blocks the approach to the polls, they are in
dictable, for they are lawlessly depriVing good
citizens of a great public right-the right to
select the agents, to administer their govern
ment the officers whose duty il is to keep
the polls clear, fail to discharge that duty,
they are indictable. Ifany man sells or gives
away drink of whsliey at or near the polls
on that day he is indictable. If all saloons
and drinking places are not kept closed from
sunrise to sunset, the proprietors and clerks
are indictabe. In hoty contested elections,
persons are frequently tempted to poll illegal
votes All such should be dealt with in such
a manner as to make them little inclined to
repeat The experiment. call your special at
tention to the election laws because there was
an election held here a few days since, and
two more will be held in the county this year,
one in August and one in November. We
should see to it that the law is so enforced
that our best citizens will consider themselves
invited to the polls and that the voice of the
people will be fully and freely expressed.
The court was engaged most of the
afternoon Monday in the trial of Bill
Franklin, for assault with intent to kill.
He was sentenced to three years in the
penitenuary.
The first case on the docket Tues
day was that of negro boy charged
with stealing shirts from Sam Lung, the
Chinese laundryman. Sam Lungs testi-
mony was something novel in the court
room, and afforded fun for the lawyers.
He had negro man to interpret for
him. The negro couldn't speak Chinese
and Sam spoke very bad English, but
they had learned to understand one an
other by association. The defendant in
this case Was sentenced to SIX months in
the county work-house.
THE case of the State vs.. John Lee
Master, charged with assault with intent
to kill, was called Tuesday morning, and
defendant not being present, judgment
by default was taken against his bonds

A large number OF Minnesota editors,

IL o'clock when they entered the dining

ira was stationed near the entrance,
and dsring the evening it discoursed
most excellent music. The ban
quet was a sumptuous one.
When the repast was concluded, Gen.
Sanborn called the gentlemen to order, and
he spoke as follows:
The pleasant task Of bidding you well
come devolves upon me. To no one can
we wish such a cordial greeting as to you,
who have done more than any other men
to forward the growth OF ST. Paul and Min
mes ota. Indeed, believe that the idea OF
city where St. Paul now stands originated
with an editor. Gentlemen, we greet you
as we would greet no other men, for we
realize that you communicate with the
minds OF men, and cando moret to influence
them than any one else. We realize what
you have done for St. Paul. and again
bid you hearty welcome.
Speeches were made by Ex-Governor

5tats Farmers' AlIiancs.

The Afinnesota Farmers alliance will as
semble at the agricultural department Of
the state university on Wednesday, Feb.
% at 10 a. M, and continue in session un-
til its labors are completed. Thursday
win be devoted to u conference with rep
resentatiyes OF the grange and other farm
ers' organizations Of this state. In issuing
the call for this meeting George w. Sprague,
president of the state alliance, says:
! We would first impress upon you the fact
that through your organization and
concerted action has come all the advantag-
es you have reaped from your recent legis-
lation. Before you began to exert your in
fuence upon the legislation of the state
you were deprived OF all commercial right.
in disposing Of the products of your farms
You were hopelessly Disseminated against
by every railroad in the state, and at law
or, in courts you had no redress.
ization and Efforts, great change
has come. Competition with monopolies
is possible and easy. In many parts Of
the state the 'shat WAREHOUSES; creature
ofyou: present law-has driven monopoly's
agents from their midst and added to the
profit OF the surrounding farmers. Rail
road determinations have been made in
law-what they always were in fact-a
crime, and their extortions have been much
modified, though not yet satisfactorily reg
ulated. You are no longer without re-
dress against the dishonest and unscrupu'
lous weighing and grading Of your wheat
Notwithstanding all these advantages, our
railroad and warehouse laws are yet defec
tive in several points, and this fact renders
the continuance and strengthening OF the
alliance in this state an Imperative neces
sity. Outside OF the law you have also
realized many of the advantages OF organ
ization. and taken altogether, you have
everything to inspire you to greater effort
in the future. Thestate alliance is called tc
meet at the university for the specific pur.
pose OF giving all an opportunity to ascer.
tain by personal inspection whether every
thing possible is being done, under the cir
cumstances, to give our farmers boys the
education intended by the government whe1

A Georgia editor was recently mar

have queer ideas of fun.
A head of cabbage weighing thirty
nine pounds was raised in Oregon las

make.
More improbable things than an old
settler can tell are of daily occurrence,
but nobody has ever yet heard of an
editor with tapeworm.
There used to be an old notion that
the serpent caused death without pain,
but mans experience with the jimjams
has about exploded the theory.
A California man has defect in his
eyes which causes him to see everything
double. A man like that could have
a good deal of fun at very little expense.
The beehive has always been consid-

sucker trying to borrow quarter.
Oscar Wilde declares that he can see
an angel where other men see only flesh

feels about that same way, but he gen

Civilization creeps along rather slow

continues to whirl in the right direction,
there is hope that the time will come
when the woman who wears high hat
at the theater will not be there.
