The Axis of the Continent.

Boston is sometimes called the "hub
of the universe" and has considerable
claim, in an intellectual way. The
Rocky mountains are alluded to as the
backbone of the continent land they
are certainly rugged and knobby enough
to constitute a formidable and reliable
vertebral column. No wonder Uncle
Sam is so independent with such back
bone). If these are appropriate appel
lations, then we may rightly call the
Mississippi valley the axis of North
America. In its borders are the bulk
of the people-It is the food storehouse
of the whole country-and the remain
der of the country revolves about it,
dependent upon it for food, for the great
working force, for the political power

A CHALLENGE TO BAKER.
The FREE PRESS is in receipt of the
following telegram:

The FREE PRESS is in receipt of the
following telegram:
CANDY, Mimi, Oct. 81, 1890.
L. P. HUNT, Mankato, Mimi.
L invite Baker to meet me in joint dis
cusslon at meetings in your county and
at any of my meetings.
JOHN LIND.
Here is a chance for Mr.. Baker to de-
monstrate the faith that is in him. 1t
would truly be an agreeable feature of
the campaign to have Messrs. Lind and
Baker come together and discuss the
issues, for itwould give the voter clear
er comprehension of the tariff question
than he can gain in any other way.
Will Mr.. Baker accept? A response
from him is awaited with interest. 1t is
more than probable that he dare not
face an audience with Congressman
Lind to tear down his free trade falacies
and refute his misleading statements.

HE LOVES THE PEOPLE.
Wilson Slaves Off Justice Until a
Widows Attorneys Die.

On the calendar for the December
term of the District court will appear
the case of Hannah G. Smith VS.. the
Winona and st Peter railroad company.
Notice of trial in this case was filed May
9th, 1887, by Collister & Foster, attor-
neys for the plaintiff. Wilson & Bowers
appeared as attorneys for the railroad
company. The case was tried and the
jury disagreed. 1t was tried again at
the succeeding term and verdict was
reached Dec. 18th, 1887, granting the
plaintiff $1,000. Mr.. Wilson asked for q
new trial, which was granted, and the
widow appealed the case to the Supreme
court where the granting of a new trial
was confirmed. This trial will come off
in December.
All this reads very nicely, but when
the facts in the case are considered it will
be seen that Mr.. Wilson's friendship for
the poor and oppressed is capable Of
considerable elasticity. Mrs. Smiths
husband was killed by the negligence of
the railroad company while employed
by it. She is a. poor widow and needs
the money, asked for In the suit, for
her support. Mr.. Wilson has taken adj
vantage of every technically of the law
and has succeeded in dragging out the
case until both of the attorneys for the
plaintiff have passed into better world,
in the course of human events, where
there are no railroad corporations and
their sleek attorneys to delay and pre-
vent justice and upset the findings of
honest jurors. The case is now Just
where it was when ii was begun, and
the widow is out her attorneys fees, wit
ness fees and numerous other costs, be-
sides an appeal to the Supreme court.
Twelve citizens of Blue Earth county
tried the case, and in the face of an
earnest fight made by one of the shrewd-
est lawyers in the country in that line
of practice, found that the widow is en-
titled to $1,000 poor exchange for the
life of a loving and industrious husband.
This unanimous decision, reached after
mature deIiberation in the jury room,
has been cast to the winds by Mr.. Will
son, and all the worry and cost must be
gone through with once more. Is it by
such practices that Mr.. Wilson shows
his love for the people? If he will 60 to
such extremes to defeat the wishes of
poor widows in the interest of railroad
corporations would he not use his official
position of governor-if, unhapplly, he
were placed In that office-to further
their dictates?

MISAPPROPRIATI OF CITY
FUNDS.

Something over year ago the editor
of the Review printed 10000 meat inspec-
ton blanks for Inspector Wallace, and
presented the bill of $35 to the city for
payment. At the time the council very
properly declined to audit or allow the
claim on the ground that it should be
paid for by the inspector himself. The
FREE PRESS printed several thousand of
these blanks and sold them to meat in
spectors through the county, and in
every instance the inspector paid the
bill. This claim remained unpaid until
last night, when the council, under
threat of suit and dire disaster from
Wise, allowed the bill, and by 30 doing
unlawfully took from the taxpayers of
the city $50 and dumped that sum into
the pockets of the whining, whimpering
flapdoodle "reformer," in order to shut
his mouth. The council did wrong. 1t
has by this act established a precedent
for the plundering of the treasury by
just such leeches as Wise, under threat
VI llIlkntlOhs IL 0Cb d6l0O 1t6 lOIIucI
ruling and the opinion of the city at
torney under threat of southern bull
doing character. The act Is one that
does not reflect credit upon the city
guardians. They could have afforded
to expend ten times the amount of the
claim rather than let Wise reach his
hand into the till and extract there
from money to which he had no pos
sible right and which no court would
ever have gwen him. Besides this, any
man with grain of common sense
knows that 10000 of these meat inspec-
ton blanks would last six or eight years
were the law operative, and 'the order
was given for this unusual number with
view to fitch needless sum from the
treasury even though it be secured un-
der threat of suit. Mr.. Saylor, a poor
man and hard worker, is denied bis
claim when all will agree that the work
was ordered by the city. In the case OF
Wise, the claim is allowed when the
city did not order it. had nothing to do
with the work, and had once refused to
pay it.
Wise has good grounds for publishing
the present as needlessly extravagant
administration. He should return to
the city treasury the money he has
unlawfully secured through threats OF
suit and defamation of character.

Democrats Cannot Afford to Float
Gen. James.

The following opinion by the editor OF
the Herald, the Democratic paper at st.
Peter, of Jim Brker, was published in
that paper Aug. Sth:
"We hear some talk of the democracy
of the Second Congressional district en-
dorsing Jim Baker for Congress. What
nonsense! If the party does that it
ought to fall, and like Lucifer, never to
rise again. Baker is the very worst
kind of Republican in that he is Re-
publican for Office only. He is smart
man, in fact, too smart. This is what
caused the Republican party to drop
him and you want to bet all your loose
change that if he is not good enough
tail to Republican kite that Democra-
CIV cannot afford tie float him."

THE general impression prevails that
the amendment proposed at the COM
ing election should be voted down. The
one providing for change in the Jury
system, making a verdict of ten jurymen
legal in civil cases, is looked upon by
most of our best lawyers as dangerous
and disastrous departure. Probably the
safest way will be to let we'll enough
alone and vote NO on this propositions.
