houses disagree, they shall meet IN
joint convention and elect a presi-

besides the willy senator from Ohio,
! discussed how the next vote of the
electoaal college should be counted.
These were Esarts, Mr.. Hayes sec
retary of state, Edmunds' and Hoar,
either of whom is reckoned as an
! eligible New England candidate if
the other one can be gotten out of
the way. Four other presidential
aspirants sat in a group, silent, but
alert listeners, turning occasionally
to neighbor and whispering with
the emphasis of clenched fist.
These were IIawley, Harrison, Alli-
son and Cullom. The subject evil

Gently that no man can go from the

The house has been discussing pen
slons among other things. Nearly
all the old pension projects of the
Forty-eighth congress nave been in
troduced in this, while there are
some new ones which outdo in ex-
travagAnce anything hitherto pro-
posed. There was q warm debate
on the bill increasing widows PEN
sions from So to $12. Representa-
tive Reagan, of Texas, opposed it.
Said he: II do not expect to defeat
the bill, nor any pension bill brought
up here, no matter how great an out
rage it may be upon common sense
and common right. But in the name
of my constituents and the taxpay-
ers of this country, / protest against
the indiscriminate giving of pensions
to all men and all women who ask |
for them. The purpose of those
who bring forward these bills is not |
to benefit the men or women in ques-
ton. Their motive is to buy the
soldiers vote, and u make the tax
payers CT the country pay for their
political supremacy.

Eplron CuAslrox COURIER i:

| Ei,IroE CuAgITnE COURIER:
l noticed in a.recent issue of your
| paper slanderous communication
against the Town Board of this, Bee
Branch township. by someone sign
ing himself c., and challenges any
one to deny the statements set forth
in his article, and being chairman of
said board feel 1t my duty to say
few words in self-defense, if you
will be so kind as to allow me short
space IN the columns of your paper.
He starts out by saying ''that
trouble has risen here on account. of
the illegal action of the board in q
certain road matter" The facts in
the case are substantially as follows:
A petition was presented to the board
praying for the location of a certain
road, which was granted, provided
the petitioners would pay the dam
ages that might accrue by the loea-
ton of the same. The petitioners
employed surveyor to survey and
and locate the road, and it was found
that one E. +. Rice, claimed that he
was damaged to the amount of 5000
by the location thereof. The hoard
appointed three disinterested house
holders of the township to view and
assess him damage. They reported
damage of $25, which the petition
ers refused 10 pay and thus ended
their road. As the board had en-
ployed the commissioners. and well
knowing from the penurlous dispo=
sition manifested by Mr.. G. and 9th
ers of the petitioners that they would
never pay them cent for their labor
felt duty bound to draw warrants on
the township fund for their pay. He
says that the law provides that any
person claiming more damage than
is assessed to him by the commls-
sioners, no damage can be recov-
cred. He must have got this law
from DR.. Ayers almanac, although
he bears the reputation of a very
shrewd lawyer. 1 will bind myself
to present him with bran new copy
of the road law if he will cite me to
the section that reads as he has
quoted.
He also says that the board is and
has been since the last election, self
constituted and Hnorgapized. take
pleasure IN saying that his statement
is basely false in the strictest sense
of the word. He further says that
the road in question IS the most de
rect road from BYnumville and the
| Fish-trap to New Cambria, when IN
reality 1t is no road at all, or never
will be until the requisites of the law
and the Township Board be conn.,
piled with His entire communica-
ton is composed of false and SLAM
derous statements highly favored
with the fumes of brimstcne.
4 Mr.. c. is one of those class OF
men who believe that his towering
intellect and extensive legal knowl-
edge should be the debating and
} ruling power of Township Board
and taking this view of the matter he
has maderepeated attempts to intImi-
date and capture the board of this
: township, but has been repulsed al
every attempt. Hence his malicious
communication.
Mr.. G. will yet learn that the Town.
ship Board of Bee Branch township
has higher duties to perform than Il
, furnish food at the expense Of tht
township for the qualification of hi:
personal animosities against bis

TRULY NEIGHBoRLY.

The Divine Scrip contains the declara-
ton "behold how blessed for brethren to
dweiltogether in unity" or words to that
effect, and the neighborly feeling mani
tested between our respected neighbors
of St. Peter and the firemen of our city
is truly demonstrative of the artness of
the scriptural expression.
Last week we published card OF
thanks from Mayor Ives, of st. Peter, to
our fire department for the response to
their call for aid during the late confla-
grafton there, and since then the COM
mon council of the SANITY city forward
ed our boys purse of $25 in recognition
of their kindly act. For this the Manka-
to boys feelall the greatfulness possible,
but at their last meeting 1t was decided
that they should return the amount to
Mayor Ives with the request that it be
eivan their own oxceilent company, ae
they are the really deserving. The fol-
lowing is self-explanatory:
MANKATo, Feb. LIST, 1886.
Hon. G. S. IVES, Mayor of the City OF
st. Peter: The fire department of our
city have requested me to acknowledge
the receipt of yours of the 22nd inst.
through the Mayor of our city for assist
ance rendered on the 2lst INST
return the draft which you 80 kind
" rendered us for services; thinking
that if anybody is deserving of it, it GER
talnly would be the fire department OF
your city. Nevertheless, we feel pleased
have treated us, and hereafter shall al
WAYS be willing to lend helping hand
when necessity demands.
Yours very respectfully,

Chief Eng. Mankato Fire Dept.
