NO SEAT, NO FARE.

The supreme court of Minnesota has just rendered decision of peculiar inter- est to railroads and the travelling public. The case is this:
 Fred C. Hardenburg was passenger, or proposed to be passenger on the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad from Minneapolis to Wayzata. The train pulled out, and before Hardenburg could look through the train to find seat, the train was going at high rate of speed. He then took look over the train, but could find no vacant seat As soon as he got chance he applied to the con ducter for seat, and the conductor, probably because the seats were all full, refused to provide him with one. The conductor demanded Hardenburg's fare, which the latter said he would pay if he was provided with seat. Then the con ductor pulled the rope, stopped the train, and forcibly put Hardenburg off the train at 2 point distant from any house, more

the past and bodes such evil for the fu- ture that it needs an exterminating blow before anything else is done, in which case he is fairly entitled to consideration as superlaiively foolish.
 Summed up in one sen ence, our m dictment against the Mills bill, the Presi- dents message, and all movements in sympathy herewith, is this If our coun. try has done exceedingly well in the past, is doing we'll at present, and has a fairly good outlook, why strike at the fiscal system under which so much pros perity has been attained, when it is no, only necessary to go out of the way to dc so, but also to retard other and desirable legislation, unless one has private aim: to further by so doing, or is lacking ir good judgment and prudence
 All of which goes to show that the Ire mendous burden of proof resting upor the free trade assailants of the statNS gn' to show that we have prospered in spit, of protection, and that we would be al better of without it, would make then very weary before the campaign of IS8 is half over.

The Clifton Clarion, of the 3th inst, shows Peter l. Bolan in the rough, and leaves it to be inferred that Peter, al. though Chairman ofthe Democratic: Ter ritorial Central Committee, is no saint, and links him, in questionable manner, with the disposition of the J. B. Collins estate. The charges are clearly made and of such nature as to require refu- tation by the accused. The Clarion promises that, before it gets through with Bolan, it will also investigate other estates with which he was connected, notably the Lutter estate. It is, however, due to Mir. Bolan to state that he is entitled to a hearing before being condemned, and that it is scarcely probable that he will rest under the accusation without essaying vigorous reply.

THE BEEF TRUST.

The New York Times says relative to the Chicago beef ring that at last the op- erations of this ring are to be officially investigated. There is long string of charges which the Times has prepared for the attention of the committee. The leading point which it has positive proof upon is that the ring deprived other cities of trade and gained control of the busi- ness by entering into conspiracy with great railroad companies. It is well known that the Chicago fellows built up their swindling business after the pattern of the oil trust, the only trust whose methods Mir. Armour has any great res pect for. The oil trust was able to carry out its plans in destroying competition by means of iniquitous railway compacts. The dressed beef trust adopted the same policy to crush out the butcher class in all the leading cities in the country, and this continued openly until the interstate law went into effect. Since that time the beef schemers have worked in the dark so far as the public eye could be directed against their business. Discriminations by the railways has, no doubt, as Senator Cull0m remarked in the senate debate. been nearly as favorable to the big four as ever. Hence the including of the clause in the resolution for an investiga- tion of the combine methods, to look after the railroads as we'll. There will now be no opportunity for the robbers to shift the responsibility. The great Chicago combine will have to give up their highway methods of making repri- sals on the producer, butcher and con- |

Affinity of Three Doubtful States.

1.-the Republicans carry New York the game is up for the Democrats, no matter if they should win California through Thurman's popularity on the Pacific coast and save New Jersey, Con- necticut and Indiana for Cleveland.
 But ifthey carry New York they will also carry either New Jersey or Connect. icut, if not both. Ir the twenty-ene Presidential elections since the beginning of the present century New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut have all stood together nine times, New York and New Jersey agains, Connecticut five times, and New York and Connecticut against New Jersey five times. In one election, that of 1928, the vote of New York was divided. In only single Presidential year since Thomas Jefferssn's first term has New York failed to carry either New Jersey or Connecticut with it.
 The explanation of this curious and important fact is on the surface. While the average of political sentiment in both New Jersey and Connecticut approaches very near to the New York average, such variation as there is extends in one direc- ton in New Jersey, and in the opposite direction in Connecticut. Not only geo graphically but also politically, New York stands between New Jersey and Connect icut, and whichever way opinion turns in New York, it is sure to find sympath- etic movement either on one side or the other. New York Republican with both New Jersey and Connecticut Democratic is an impossible conception, and so is New York Democratic with both Con. necticut and New Jersey Republican.
 In making combinations, therefore, from the figures presented above, cur mathematical friends must bear in mind the very important fact that the thirty six votes of New York mean also either the nine votes of New Jersey or the six votes of Connecticut, and probably both, Without these votes neither the Repub- lican party nor the Democracy will elect its candidate.

In nominating General Ben Harrison of Indiana and Hon L. P. Morton of New York to be President and Vice President of the United States, the Re. publican convention has secured nom. inees from the two pivotal States that are to decide the coming contest. The nom. inees are exceptionally able and honest men, who will not only poll the full strength of the party, including the mug wump element, but will draw largely from the Democrats who favor the policy of protection. Republicans all over the land are satisfied with the ticket and it is earnestly predicted that every Northern State will be swept with tidal wave of popular enthusiasm such as was exhibited in the famous "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" campaign of IS4o.

 Wm. George, proprietor of the hotel at Spring View, Nebraska, dled in terri ble agony on the 9th inst. He owned a valuable blooded horse that was shot June 9th by the State veterinarian. The animal had the glanders. In caring for the horse during it's sickness MT. George contracted the disease. The horse snorted and threw the poisonous pus over his head, face, arms and hands. Every spot of flesh 1t touched develope d into an ulcer. For two weeks he suffered untold agony, none of the local doctors being able to tell the character of the disease until the arrival of the State vet. erinarian. MT. Georges last hours were spent in the most terrible contortions and sufferings, the poison having secured such hold on his system that relief was an impossibility. ty.-Stock Grower.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.

General Ben Harrison was born at North Bend, Ohio. in the residence of his grandfather, on the 2oth day of Aug ust, 1853, and consequently will be $ years old in August next. His ancestry dates back to Major-General Harrison, one of Cromwells Generals. General Harrison attached his name to the death warrant of King Charles the First, and subsequently forfeited his life in conse. quence. Members of the familythen emi- grated to America and settled in Virginia. Benjamin Harrison of Virginia was member of the Colonial Congress, and slgner of the Declaration of lndepen- dence, and was three times elected Gov ernor of Virginia; his son was General William Henry Harrison, who became President of the United States in IS4o, and who was the grandfather of the man who stands to-day the leader of the Re. publican party. From such stsck Gen. Harrison inherited strong intellect. He entered Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, al the age of I6, graduating at IS. I'm. mediately after graduating he entered the law office of Hon. B. 5. Storer. In 1854 he removed to Indianapolis, where he began the practice of his profession. He sosn won foremost place as lawyer, and prior to 1860 was one of the ablest political speakers in his State and met Thomas A. Hendricks in joint debate, when even the Democrats conceded him to be fully the equal of that great Demo- cratic orator. while the Republicans claim he proved vastly the superior of MT. Hendricks. In 1860 MT. Harrison W s elected reporter of the Supreme Court. Harrison aided materially in recruiting men under the Presidents call for 300, 900 3-year-troops. His commission was the first recruiting commission issued by the Governor for the Seventieth Regi- ment, making him Lieutenant, and bearing date July I4th, 1862. After this Lieut.. Harrison saw active service and received promotions until he was appoln. ted Brigadier General.

It is robbery, and will materially tell against the settling up of Southern Ari- zona. The present administration is re- sponsible for this condition of affairs.

than two miles from any flag station, and more than five miles from any regular station on the road. The case was taken into court, and the only point of signif. canoe was, had the conductor, under any circumstances, right to put the plaintiff off at the place he did? The supreme court holds that the plaintiff had right to refuse to pay his fare and he did not thereby become trespasser on the train, for passenger has right to be provided with a seat; also that a railroad company having the right to eject from its tram a trespasser must do so at regular sta ton.

In 1884 New York went Democratic by less than one per cent, Indiana and New Jersey by considerably less than two per cent, and Connecticut by less than one per cent.

The Tucson Citizen considers the act of the Government in charging settlers $2.5o per acre for land within railroad limits to be one of the greatest evils ex
 isting in connection with the public lands. The grant to the Southern Pa ci6c was declared forfeited some time since, and still the land office is charging S2.5o for land within it's old claimed boundaries. Congress should remedy this wrong at once, as the object in charging $2.5o for the land within rail- road grants instead of SI.a5,was to make the settlers pay for the alternate sections
