Vermont Farmers Who Wanted to Show

MONTPELIER, VT, June lS-A peculiar
issue is stirring up the political waters in
the Second congressional district in this
state. General Grout is the congressional
incumbent, and his denomination is being
fought on the issue of dairy products. The
general voted for Washington City, and
then Chicago as the site of the Worlds
fair This was a disappointment to Yer
mont farmers, who expected To make a
fine exhibition of butter if the fair had
gone to New York. However Gen. Grout
still retains a strong hold on the district,
especially the northern counties. Many
friends of Governor Dillingham; support
him because they think that two years
hence he will surely retire, and then the
governor can succeed him.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 1S-The politi-
cal sensation in Minnesota is the pronun-
ciaments issued yesterday by the state
Farmers Alliance, which is in the field as
an independent political factor. This
declaration includes violent attack upon
the integrity of the supreme court as fol-
lows:
Every recently United States Judge
invaded a sovereign state, accompanied by
an assassin who murdered a citizen of
that state. The supreme court stepped in
and rescued the assassin, declaring that
in such cases the laws of the state against
murder was of no avail. The state of New
York condemned a murderer to death ac-
cording to law enacted by the legisia-
ture, judge of the supreme court of the
United States reached out his hand and
took that criminal, that murderer, under
his protection, and declaring that a
state could not punish its own murderers
except by permission and the manner pre-
scribed by the federal court.
Some Other Indictments.
"The state of MINI esota created a rail
road commission to stand between the
people and the roads to prevent the latter
from exacting extortionate rates These
roads are the creation of the state and
hold their charters from the state, yet
this same supreme court has decided that
these creations are greater than their Gre
ators, that a part is greater than the
whole. that state which made the roads
has no power to regulate or govern them
until they get permission from the auto
erat tribunal of the American republic.
In the case of the law prohibiting the sale
of the dressed beef which your legislature
passed to protect the public health, this

returns, eliminated last night in the ar
rest of seven of the men who have been
engaged in the counting of noses in Min

Z. Marvin, president of the St Paul In

William Pitt Murray, and are backed by
affidavits and other proof that are thought
to constitute good ground for the action.
Beating the Bushes for People.
1t had been charged several days ago
that Supervisor Davenport was illegally
enumerating people in Minneapolis, and
that the general methods used by him and
his subordinates were Objectionable Dis

Minneapolis their home. Several families
who had removed from Minneapolis with

and their names, ages, and occupations
carefully recorded
Even Counted in the Cattle.
At one of the houses the enumerator
stated that he was in the government serv-
ice, but for all extra work, such as his trip
out of the city, he received pay from local
associations. There were reports, also.
that the enumerators had been induced to
take the names of dogs and horses, as was
done five years ago in both cities, the own
er's surname being affixed and the occupa-
ton, age, and nationality in such case be-
ing put down with impressive detail
Messrs. Marvin, Castle, and Murray made
personal investigation of the work of the
enumerators in Minneapolis, and, satisfy
ing themselves that there was underhand
work going on, proceeded to Washington
City and registered formal protest with
Superintendent Porter

They produced their proofs of fraud and
Superintendent Porter at once dispatched

DURING the eleven years from 1871 to
1882 steel rails in tins country, owing to
the high tariff. ranged in price from $45
to $105 per ton. The railroads built of
this expensive material have been forced
to charge excessive freights in order to
pay interest on the thus inflated invest
ment; and hence the farmer has been
locked in the price Of his products an
amount equal to the excessive freights.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S-Peter Jack
son had lively set-to Monday against
odds, and won the battle. With some
friends the Australian had gone to a road
house for walk and was sitting in the
barroom chatting when bus load of pic.
nickers drove up. Among them was a
brewery man, Herman Helmick Hell
mick was in ugly humor and began to get
insulting to the colored man, whom he did
not know. jackson remarked that he did
not want any trouble.
Pete Lets Go His Right.
This aggravated Helmick, who made a
pass at him, with the result that Helmick
doubled up on the sanded floor, Peters right
hand taking him in the eye. 1t was a big
surprise to the bully. A dozen of Helmick' 8
friends at once sailed into jackson, and
about the liveliest fight ever seen took
place. Peters arms shot out like driving
rods and men went to the floor right and
left. The fight was transferred from the
bar-room to the porch, aud the way was
strewn with the PROSTATE forms of Peters
adversaries. They went down, got up,
and went down again before him.
The Whole Crowd Cleaned Out.
Meanwhile the wives and daughters,
cousins, and aunts of the besiegers were
shouting for help at the top of their lungs
as they saw their loved ones inspect the
porch floor and ground between the horse
trough and the buildings jackson, how
ever, now hat his blood was up, deter
mined to put the whole crowd to flight.
This he succeeded in doing, and the van
pushed crawled with more haste than
grace into the bus, and went down the
road full speed.
