Canada wants to make Montreal a great
shipping point for American range cattle
hoping thus 10 monop0lize the shipping
trade of the continent The principal Objec-
ton Is the interference with the existing
quarantine regulations, which might make
England require the immediate slaughter OF
cattle landed in Great Britain from Canada.
The farmers OF Minnesota are indignant
at what they deem an unfair and monopos
listic decision In favor of the railroads Is
against the producing classes, In the cele-
brated Granger cases, recently promulgated,
adopted series Of resolutions at a meeting
held at st. Paul on the first day Of April,
two of which we print herewith rs follows:
l Res0tUed, That we appeal from this
second Dred Scott decision TO the people of
the nation, and we ask them to consider
whether any other race would submit to
have their liberties thus wheedled away
from them on techpicalities by squad Of
lawyers sitting as a supreme authority far
above Congress, the President and people.
Resolved, That copies of these res0lu-
tions be sent to the Alliances of the several
States of the Union, with the request that
they unite with us in an effort TO so amend
the Constitution of the United States so as to
abolish this new slavery of States and Ma
corporate wealth, and to make 1t so plain
that the people are masters i'm this event
that no court, however shallow or corrupt,
shall ever again attempt to subject them to
the domination of the artificial parsonage
they have themselves created.
The resolutions probably are not pat in
the wisest words, and yet, mQnOpoists
ought to remember that II was q DNed Scott
decision that set the nation allaIe against
slavery, and that free nlea will not consent
to be enslaved or robbed that mOnopolistc
institutions of any name may flourish. The
fate that Judge Cody, of this state met at
the hands at an Indignant people, for Just
such decisions as that of which the farmers
OF Minnesota complain, will in some form
by due course of law, Overwhelm the men
who pose as the Judicial representatives of
the monopollstic powers Of to-day.
A recent publication says that Messrs.
Gladstone, Parnell, John Ruskin, Whittier,
the poet Thomas Hardy, the novelist, Geo.
w. Childs, the Philadelphia editor John
Wanamaker, the Postmaster General, Ly-
man Abbott, Senator III, w. Blair and
Heber Newton are among the prominent
men of the age who detest the use of tobac-
co,

took just II days for George Macomb, q
Michigan man, to bury his wife, put up
headstene, repaint his house, and marry
second time" Well, the Monitor should
remember that we are fast people out
here in the Wolverine State, yet in matters
matrimonial we have not yet beaten the
record of cold blooded New Englander
whom we knew well in the long ago, who
spent the evening of his first wife's funeral
with Young lady, who in just eight days
thereafter he led to the altar; and he did
not think he was making very good time at
that.
The Detroit Tribune says: ''The third
party cuts about as much of figure in Kan
as as polywog does in Lake Michigan:"The
Tribune should not forget that the third
party in Kansas is, at present, the Farmers
Alliance" and we fear If the Republican
party dees not adopt its anti-monOpoly plat
form, that that polywog will prove dan
ger0us element, altogether to large to find
home In the waters of our great western
lake.
