The Great Through Route

To all parts of the Northwest-Minne-
sofa, Dakota, and Montana-and to all
points East and South, is 'The Burling-
ton"-Chicago, Burlington & Northwest
ern Railroad. Leaving the elegant union
depots of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
daily, its trains land travellers in union
depots at either Chicago or st. Louis
according to their destination-without
change of cars. In those cities it makes
sure and convenient connections with
leading lines of railway for all the prin-
cipal cities of the United States, Canada
and Mexico. Likewise, for travellers
coming from the east via Chicago or Pc.
oria, and from the south and west via
st. Louis or Kansas City, '"rhe Burling-
tom and Its connections offer first
class through route to the great North
west, closely connecting at st. Paul and

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, predicts
"a financial crash more APPALLING thar
that of 1873" He advises his State to in
dulge in "a period of repose." Fortu
nately Senator Morgan has never pre-
dicted aught that came to pass or coun
seled aught that became State or Nation
al policy. The States of the Southern
tier, and the State of Alabama especial
ly, now stand in the dawn of the and lu
minous day.
There can be no "period ofrepose" il

tcnance of that "period ofrepose" which
has afflicted them too long. Mines viii

railways will be constructed in the South
ern tier whether the oligarcby of briga
diers will or not. The world has need

able and memorable economies are or
their march of conquest. Millions upon
millions of well paid, well educated, vel
housed, well clothed workmen are soon

THE report of the Democratic commits
missioner of internal revenue gives
Roger Q. Mills and his presidential
tariff bill a severe slap in the face by
protesting against the proposition to re
move the taxes on stills and on fruit
brandies. This little device for secur,
ing free whiskey" was not as clearly
shown up during the late campaign as il
should have been, but Mr.. Cleveland:
official does it at this time very thor
oughly. He shows how such a change
in the internal laws would place a dis,
tillery at every crossroads; and the dis.
tillery would, as the Commissioner
points out, have great facilities for max
ing whIskev from grain as well as brandy
from fruit. The operation of the Mills
bill would be to cripple the business OF
the great distillers which pay taxes, and
to increase the business of small ones
which avoid tax under pretense of doing
a business in fruit brandies only. A
more pernicious clause than this of ex-
emption of country stills from duty
while taxing the great distilleries
was never incorporated into a revenue
bill. 1t is clause to set free whisky"
running IN the most dangerous chan
nels.

Hunt received

By the above it will be seen that Hunt
the so-called 'boodler" has expended
just S576.05 more than he has received
Nand he stands ready to take affidavit to
this fact. He expects in return, for this
deficiency S393.50 less whatever would
be reasonable tax upon him for his
proportion of the kilograms which, the
way other expenses have been paid
would be about $3.50, leaving total
due him of $3.50. If Mr.. Hunt gets this
amount he will still be out $l96.05. This
is where the "boodlerism" comes in.
Now for the motive that has created
all this slush In the ReUieW. Messrs. J..
G.. Fowler and Gaylord Lamb were not
consulted in the recent election as much
as their sensitive natures would seem to
desire, neither were they allowed to
disburse any of the funds. Because Mr..
Hunt took an active part and they are
fearful that they may be left out of the
councils of the party and that he may
be occasionally consulted, they have
been actively engaged for several days
in trying to unearth mares nest and it
looks as though they had found il. 1t is
stated to us this morning that Mr.. J. T.
Williams inspired the Review attack, but
this matters little or nothing. Mr.. Hunt
has no favors to ask Of these gentlemen.
Mr.. Fowler is charged with the state
ment that his whole object in this mat
ter is to kill Hunts influence. Now if
this be true, the gentleman is putting
himself to good deal of trouble to dis
pose of a very small subject. Mr.. Hunt
claims no influence, neither does he seek
to exert any. He IS content to do what
ever is possible for the Republican party
and for the upbuilding Of the CITY which
he has determined to make his home,
and he will continue to take the kicks
and cuffs of those who please to adj
minister them, all the time satisfied
with himself that he is acting honestly
and openly.
In conclusion, if the two or three gen.
tlemen above named who are after
"Hunt's scalp" desire him to further
"disgorge" they will be necessitated to
replenish his bank account. At this
juncture it is just about busted" He
has been content to take the buffeting
thus far, but his check book has been
laid up for repairs.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Regarding the Rights of Creditors
Under the Assignment Laws.

The Supreme Court of the United
States Monday handed down Il decis-
ion of great Importance. to Minnesota.
II was an opinion IN the case OF Henry
r. Denny, plaintiff in error, vs.. Charles
c. Bennett, assignee OF A. b. Vannor-
man and brother, in error to the su.
preme court of the state of Minnesota.
The principal point raised in this case
is that an act of the state legislature
providing that whenever the property
of debtor is seized by an execution
against him, he may make an assign
ment of all his property not exempt
by law for the equal benefit of all his
creditors, who shall file releases of
their debts and claims and that his
property shall be equitablv distributed
among such creditors, is repugnant to
the constitution of the United States, so
| far as il affects citizens of other states
than Minnesota. 1t WAS claimed by
counsel for plaintiff in error that this
statute is invalid because it impaired
the obligation of contracts and also
that II could have no extra-territorial
operation and could not therefore be
binding on creditors living in differ
ent state from that of the debtor.
The supreme court in an opinion by
Justice Miller holds that the statute
is not repugnant to the constitution
In its opinion the court says that the
statute could not, ofcourse, apply to the
contracts in existence before it was en-
acted, and that therefore 1t cannot be
called an impairment of the contracts
The judgment of the supreme court o
Minnesota holding thestatute to be valiC
was therefore reafiirmed.

AN immense railway trust under the
name of clearinghouse" is said to
have been formed to include all the
Southwestern, Western and probably
the Northwestern lines. The idea OF
the organization is said TO be the divis-
ion of the traffic and earnings of the
combined roads, and the general super
vision Of rates and rules. 1t is tritie
doubtful if the scheme makes a greater
success than former pools, but if ii
should succeed in making rates more
stable and stop the perpetual cutting
and uncertainty, it will not be an un-
mixed evil. 1t is a little curious, how
ever, how the promoters expect to get
around the interstate law, which strict
" forbids pooling, especially of such
great magnitude.

LETTER FROM JAMES F. CAR
NEY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20, 'S.S
FRIEND HUNT: Please extend to my
numerous friends of Mankato and neigh
borings towns my heartfelt thanks for
unexpected honors conferred during my
visit to attend the successful close of a
memorable campaign which will never
be forgotten in the history of Mankato.
l was telling John j. Finnerty to-day
that went FIVE hundred miles to ride
in q carriage with an "lrIsh Republican
American Eagle" Four years ago the
Irlshmen voted for James q. Blame.
This year they voted for the Republican
party. No wonder we are happy. 1t was
a great victory. The Democrats claimed
heretofore that the Republican party re-
tanned power because they had the Nat
ional Treasury to back them. They
didn't give much of a treasury to the
Republican party when they took their
departure for a more congenial cline In
1860. The Republican party gave them
over four hundred million dollars TO
start business with four years ago, and
by keeping the honest pensions due to
the Union soldiers, the above amount
was largely increased. But they failed
to materlize with the treasury. General
Grant understood the Democratic party
1879 he prophetically declared that
whenever the Democratic party comes
near to complete control of the country
| it will break Its back ccross the Aileghe-
ny mountains on the tariff question.
This was an educational campaign.
Educate the people and this country is
naturally Republican. Circulate good
Republican papers during years OF no
political excitment. A good paper re-
| ceived week after week becomes a well
come visitor, its opinions and argume nts
have weight, these repeated arguments
are sure to influence, and finally con-
vince. Voters converted this way are
poundly converted. The Irish World
read week after week during the cam
paign convinced thousands of Irishmen
that protection 10 American industries
was right, and free trade with John Bull
was wrong. Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars worth of good Republican papers
sent to parties regularly during no poiti-
cal season, will do more good in con-
vincing voters than two hundred and
| fifty thousand dollars given to stump
orators during heated campaign. 1t is
a mistake to stop the good work because
the election is over. 1t is just as that
banner read in the carriage in the pro-
cession, eve are slightly dIsfgured, but
still in the ring"
In time of peace prepare for war.
| Now is the time to make the influence
of the Republican newspapers available
and effective. Whatever the committee
may or may not be able 10 do, the indI
vidual Republican can do much. He
can subscribe for and support his own
county paper, and he can find a reader
for it among his Democratic neighbors.
No money could be better used for par
ty purposes. The Democratic party will
go into the next campaign more as adj
vocates of the popular vote system than
reduction of tariff. 1t will be time
enough to talk about electing a presi-
dent in this country by the popular vote
when every vote is freely cast and fairly

CONGRESSMAN LIND will leave for Wash

CONGRESSMAN LIND will leave for Wash
ington on the End of December where
he will put in his best ticks until the
close of the session. Mr.. Lind returns
to his duties somewhat refreshed, al
though he has worked necessarily dur
ing vacation, but his grand victory in
this district more than compensates him
for his time spent in politics. Brown
county, the home of Mr.. Lind, where he
has spent 80 much energy and upon
which he has reflected great credit,
should. and no doubt does, feel like a
whipped boy over its action in the re-
cent election. Our Congressman de-
served the united support of both parties
there, and the local jealousIes and petty
chickering's which were allowed to warp
the better judgment of many Of her cit
liens are by no means in accord with the
past action of the people of that county.
1t is to be hoped that the future may
open a wav whereby Brown county may
redeem herself by rewarding him who
has 80 often reflected credit upon her.
