The st. Paul & Duluth road under
date of Jan. 1st, 1888, advertised to
begin on Jan. 10, 1888, carrying wheat
from Duluth to Minneapolis for B
cents per 100 lbs; on the same day
Jan. 10, 1888, its tariff for carrying
wheat from Minneapolis to Duluth
was 10 cents per 1OOlbs. With these
rates published on all their tariff
sheets, will it be denied that the great
body Of producers in Minnesota are
being Disseminated against? Can
any fair minded man justify such dis
elimination? Why this singular and
seemingly inconsistent system OF
rates? Let us for o moment look in
to the matter; "there is method in
this Madness" Both the Manitoba
and the Northern Pacific roads have
connections which reach Duluth.
They both pass through MOorhead.
The milwaukee & st. Paul reaches
Fargo, in Dakota, one mile west Of
Moorhead. The..Manitoba also reaches
Aberdeen and other points in Dakota
and Minnesota common to the Mill
waukee road. The Northern Pacific
through its branches strikes points
common to both the Manitoba and
Milwaukee roads. Thus these three
roads penetrate the same territory
and are linked together In their efforts
TO control it's traffic. The distance
from Fargo to Chicago is TIC miles
the rate is 2S cents per 100 lbs.-a re-
munerative rate. From Fargo to
Duluth the distance is 26S miles and
the rate is Is cents rate nearly two
and one-forth times as much per ton
per mile as by way of Chicago. All
the rates in the territory common to
these roads are based OH the same
principle-remunerat rates to Chi
cago high rates to Duluth. East o.
Minneapolis the rate must be low OF

THE HON. RINeBoNE BlvINs
Begins q Lecture Before the Limelkill
T1nf

Begins q Lecture Before the A1mok1kn
Club.
When the meeting opened Brother
Gardner announced that the Hon. Ring
bone Bivins, of Kankakee, had arrived In
Detroit for the purpose of lecturing before
the Limekiln club. The subject Of his
lecture was: "Has de World Advanced
Fur 'Nuff?' He had been before the COM
mittee on inquiry, and had answered all
questions, and he would now be brought
in and given every opportunity to acquit
himself with honor. It was a subject of
deep interest to every member of the club,
and it was hoped that each and every one
would pay the closest attention to the
strangers remarks.
The committee on reception and abduc-
.tion escorted the Hon. Bivins into the hall
amidst profound silence. He was stately
looking man of middle age, having cast
in one eye and some trouble in one Of his
knees. He bowed right and left with the
grace and suavity of an emperor, and
upon ascending the platform gently OBJ
served:
"My frens, L do not come befo' you as

Brother Jones had already slipped out
and with this purpose in view. He was
gone ten minutes. When he returned his
necktie was gone and his coat torn down
the back. The Hon. Ringbone had evi-
IDENTIFY resisted, but the keeper of the bar
traps measured the dent in the frozen
ground in the alley and said it was just
the size of q pork barrel and ten inches
deep. The lecturers suspender buttons
must have been driven higher than his
ears.-Detroit Free Press.

KING ALCOHOL REIGNs!

KING ALCOhOL hE1UNa!
Bow the neck! Bend the knee!
The Republican party Of the village
of Morris in caucus assembled decreed
that the kingdom should be sold to
Alcohol for $500 (the lowest price that
the law would permit) and a majori-
ty OF the enlightened christian voters
of the village have ratified the decree.
When the best men of the town, in
Guiding those prominent in the
christian church, rally to the defense
of the saloon as never before, it is
prima facie evidence that this stencil
in the nostrils Of all decent people, is
fastened under their noses more Sc
curely than ever.
Henccforth we want to hear no
more that the Republican party is
the champion of moral ideas. That
resolution in the caucus that the
license should remain at $500 was a
shameless bid for the saloon vote.
What is true of the party here is true
the country over. No means are too
vile to be used if only they will win.

sophistical contrivances wherewith

PROHIBITION COLUMN.
EDITED BY THE PROHIBITION CLUB
THE RASTER REsol luT1oN.

The following Ii known as the
Raster resolution, having been intro
duced to the committee OH resolutions
of the Republican National conven-
ton of 1872 by Herman Raster editor
OF tile Illinois Stats Zeitung. 1t was
the 10th plank of the platform of 1872
and has been reaffirmed in every Re-
publican National platform since.
The Republican Party propose to
respect the rights reserved by tie
people to themselves rs carefully as
the powers delegated by them to the
State and Federal Government. 1t
dlsapproyes Of the resort to uncon-
stitutional laws for the purpose of re-
moving evils by interference with
the rights not surrendered by the
people either to the state or National
Government.
It's purport IL shown by the follow
ing extract from letter written by
Mr.. Raster to J. NJ. Miller then and
now n prominent distiller.
J. Nj. Miller.-Dear Sir: In reply
to yours Of July sth have to say that
1 have written the 10th resolution to
the Philadelphia platform and it was
adopted by the platform committee
with the full and explicit understand
ing that Its purpose was the discoun'
tenancing of all so-called temperance
(prohibition) and Sunday laws.
Gen. Nettleton in his reply to Mr.
Bartram produces figures showing
how high license has reduced the
number of saloons in Minneapolis
Why did not the General 60 on anC
show that under the first six month:
of $1,000 license the arrests for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct were
LOG more than during the previous
six months under u $500 license.
The average Democrat can go any
thing that Is even remotely suggestive
OF any OF the cherished association
Of the G. a. R.-Tribune March 7th
Such uncalled for attacks as tn
above furnish abundant evidence tina
there is no question ut issue betweel
the old parties except the division o
the spoils. No true patriot is marrow
aud contracted enough to claim tha
this country is composed Of tn
northern states and belongs to tn
Republican party. And yet that
the attitude of the Republican pres

cago four years ago he said 18th
issue out of which the Republica
party was born, and all the issue
growing out of that issue, lie burie

her doomed brother. Both ladies were
in tears, but endeavored to hide their
emotion. Maxwell was deeply af.

himself, but soon rallied. He said he
would like to see his father before he
died. When Mrs. Brooks and her
daughter departed IL was with the un-
derstanding that they were to be
granted another meeting with the con-
demned at clock.
At ll:20 Father Than returned to
the Jail and entered Maxwell's cell.

door and complained Of lack of pri-
vacy, denouncing what he termed the
unfeeling curiosity of those in the Jail.
The father confessor was with Max
well fifteen minutes and when he lef.

go to his death bravely, asserting his
innocence" At this hour (midnight) }
he is sittsng at the table In the cell

Colonel George Gibson, well and
fayorably known to our citizens, AZ
the recent commander st Fort Keogh.
and colonel Of the Fifth snfautry, died
suddenly on last Monday. Though
many Of our. citizens noticed the in
roads of old age On the generals nat.
urally robust constitution, his death
was 30 wholly unexpected, that it
causes q shock not only to his mill
tary friends but to large circle out
side the army:
Col Gibson was born in Pennsylva-
mia, and comes Of distinguished an
cestry, being son OF the late Chief
Justice Gibson, Ct the supreme court
of Pennsylvania, one of the most emf
nent jurists of his generation. Col.

mond, and the surrender OF the insur-
gent army under Gen. r. Z. Lee be

partment of Virginia and the First

period recorder Of the court OF claims
at Washington City, and was pro-
NOTED TO be lieutenant colonel OF the
Third infantry on March Goth, 1879
and became colonel OF the Firth regi
ment In 1856. While he was . stri !,
disciplinarisn, lie was universally es
teemed by civilian and soldier. Col
Gibson was devout member OF tn,
Catholic church, a man Of tender
heart aud open charity, model soldier
and an ornament Of the army. He
leaves q widow but no children.

almost as good as engaged TO Tom Burns,
10 whose spread she merrily wended her

But fate was unkind to her. She had
hardly set her foot inside Of TOMS cham

shock.
