THE hostilities between tue editors of
Register and Mapleton Enterprise have
come to very bitter point. 1t VIII be
remembered that the trouble started
from query on Bro. Geddes' part as
to how the Enterprise could harmonize
its rather lively prohibition tendencies
with it's course of publishing saloon adj
vertisements. This brought from the
Enterprise the retort that during the
campaign of 1888, Mr.. Geddes, who him
self lays claim to considerable virtue in
the line of temperance, made an cleo
pioneering tour against his party's candI-
date for senator, and that he had with
him several bottles of whisky and sun
dry boxes of cigars. Mr.. GeGdes was at
first disposed to pass this as "cam-
paign SANDER" but Hotaling reiterated
the charge and brought from the editor
of the Register in his latest issue sweep
ing assertion that he never was guilty of
any of the offenses charged by the Enter
prise, and limiting at libel suit in case
the latter persisted in its assertion that
it could furnish proof for its charges.
We confess that in common with Bro.
Geddes we didn't think Hotaling was
loaded, and supposed the vigorous Ian
guage used by the former would cause
the Enterprise to "shut up" But we
were mistaken, and so was Geddes, for
IN Fridays paper Hotaling publishes two
affidavits, one from the proprietor aud
one from the clerk of the Mapleton Ho-
tel, IN both of which the sworn state
ment is made that the editor of the Reg
lister stopped at that hostelry during the
campaign of 1886 while electioneering
in behalf of the Democratic candidate
for Senator, and that she had with him
two bottles of whisky and box of cigars. ;"
Martin Schlingerman makes the first af-
fidavit and his clerk, Chas. Krausc, the
other one. We were fearful that this
dispute would come to some bad end,
and think it has been very Improbable.
We trust that Editor Geddes will be
able to refute this latest blast and
that the row VIII be brought to close.

DOWNED AGAIN

Judge Nelson, of the United States
circuit court, has decided that the meat
inspection law of this state is uncon-
stitutional. The case came before him
on writ of habeas corpus issued for
one Henry Z. Barber, who was arrested
at White Bear on a charge of having
violated this state law. Barber was a
representative of Armour & Co., of
Chicago, who, with other Chicago parties,
desired to have the law tested. The
question was argued by Walter A. San
born, for the petitioner, and Gen. Cord
on f. Cole for the state, last Tuesday.
The opinion was reserved until Mon
day morning, and the judge held that the
law is not constitutional, and dismissed
Barber. Gen. Cole gave notice of an
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
After giving an exhaustive sitting of
the arguments of the attorneys ON both
sides Judge Nelson gave his decision
and cited a number of authorities.
In conclusion he says: While state
may pass sanitary laws, while it may
prevent persons and animals suffering
from contagious diseases from entering
the state, it may not interfere with
transportation into or through the state
beyond what is absolutely necessary for
self protection. A state cannot encroach
upon the power of congress to regulate
interstate commerce, to 90 to the extent
of prohibiting the sale and introduction
ola sound commercial commodIty. "A sta e
may exclude any infected article from
reaching the importer, but this law
excludes the sound and infected alike
and declares it unfit for human food
under the guise ola health regulation.
Such law transcends the police power,
for it attempts to obstruct commerce,
and, if 1t can, to prohibit sound dressed
meat. 1t may prohibit the importation
and sale of any commodity, and as said &.
thus commercial anarchy and confusion
would result from the diverse exertions
of power by the several states of the
Union

THE Winnebago City Press Neps pub
fishes letter from Ramsey county, Da-
kota, which gives distressing account
of the situation In that territory. The
people who wrote the letter are evident
ly former residents of Winnebago, and
send an eager appeal for aid. A box of
goods. food and clothing has been pre-
pared and sent to the people in question.
The following extract from the letter
will serve to show the real condition
of the crops in Dakota:
Everything looks blue here this year,
in Ramsey and Nelson counties. There
has been no prospect of hay even, till
about a month back, not even half
enough pasture for the cattle. Our
cousin, a crippled man, is going to live
with us this winter so as to get hay for
his cattle, as there is no hay to be had
where he lives, Is miles north of us. We
shall have head between us, and there
will be barely hay enough for our own.
All our cattle are under mortgage, and it
Just depends on the kindness of the man
who holds the mortgage whether we
shall be allowed to keep them. We put
in 40 acres of wheat and oats that never
came up. We put IN big garden, but
shall get nothing from it but few pota-
toes, and precious few if it continues as
dry as it Is now. Others put in 400 acres
and will have nothing. My cousins put
in 800 acres and will have nothing for
their labor but the cost of it all. Will
seeded over 100 bushels and will receive
nothing back. God only knows what
will become of the poor. We have moth.
ing to live on now and there are Others
in the same condition. We can sell moth.
ing nor get any work to make anything
This isn't exactly the same rosy view
of Dakota as one sees pictured in the
twin city dailies, but it doubtless comes
nearer to the truth. There is going tC
be lots of suffering out there this winter
and the good people of Minnesota viii
have to make up their minds TO contrib
ute literally.

questions:
1t is not true that you knaw, long be-

Mr.. WINDOW says he is laying no wires
for his political benefit in Minnesota land
has no senatorial or presidential aspira-
tons. We hope this is true, for the
sake of the secretary's peace of mind.
But that doesn't explain the fact that al
most every federal appointment made
for this state has brought out of seclusion
one of the old Window "stagers"
of the men who tramped the grass and
manipulated the caucuses of yore in the
interest of Mr.. Window. Perhaps all
this is only way the latter has of caring
for hisold friends, but several people
have looked on it with suspicion.

The criticisms which some papers are
making upon President Bushnell of the
State Agricultural Society in connection
with the state fair management are GER
tainlv unwarranted. Certainly any one
who knows anything about Mr.. Bushnell
knows that he has iabored unselfishly
for many years in behalf of the society,
and has done so with no other motives
than those of an enterprising, public
spirited citizen. The suggestion that he
sought his own advancement financially
or politically IN his actions is too absurd
to receive earnest consideration. Every
thing connected with the recent fair
may not have been without fault, but
that President Bushnell and the other
officers did good, honest service for the
society's and states interests there is no
room for doubt.

THE st. Paul NeUs is giving great
deal attention to "boodle in politics"
Friday it undertook to tell what
that means. We are of the opinion that
it means much smoke and little fire-in
other words, that the wholesale charges
of Doodle that are made in connection
with every nominating convention and
election have simply become the fashion,
and are made recklessly without any ex-
pectation of ever substantiating them.
Such talk as the Meas INDUCES in would
carry the impression that in recent con-
ventions in this state the buying and
selling of delegates was carried on as
openly and extensively as the traffic in
whisky and cigars. Everybody knows
this is not true. Whatever of Doodle
there may be is kept 80 very still or is
so isolated that it becomes practically
impossible to prove the facts. This is
well understood, and from this state of
| things comes largely the habit of whole
sale charges by those who don't expect
to be called on to furnish evidence to
support their allegations. We don't
think the people of Minnesota or any
other state are 80 far gone as to resolve
themselves into ratification of the
methods of Doodle politicians. The
very claim of the NeWs that in the last
Republican gubernatorial convention
public sentiment was overrided by the
influence of money casts doubt upon the
reliability of it's other assertions. Fol
| Governor Merriam certainly Was the
choice of a large majority of the voters
of Republican persuasion, and it is ride.
ulous to assert that McGill, Scheffer OIL
Gilman had any such number of friends
as Merriam. The result of the election
as we'll as that of the convention proved
that public sentiment, which the Neu
charges was stified bv Doodle, was by 6
large majority in favor of Merriam, anC
voted for him in spite of the protesta
tons of McGill, Scheffer and Gilman
which protestations were in sum and
substance just the charges the Nea0s hal
been airing for some time past. So yor
see the people did not and would moi
take stock in them, and 1t is our opinion
they get as near the truth as anybody.
