TIE EXPRESS COMPANIES.

We are favored with a marked

tatning a number Of extracts from
other newspapers with reference to
the exorbitant charges Of the Express
CU's.
This is matter of vital importance
to most people, for most people have
more or less business with them.
The merchants Of the towns outside
the large cities are obliged to do a
large business with these companies,
and they are made to groan under the
burden. The newspapers are in duty
bound to stand by the merchants, for
they are the main support of the
papers, and to fight for them against
all monopolies; but in this case the
papers arc in the same boat with the
merchants.
Close estimates prove that the am.
cunt paid by the newspapers Of this
state in a year to these express COM
panies is $4,000. This 10 about
double what the service is worth. and
Is high handed robbery. We think
1t is time to call Il halt and see If we
cannot repair the fences.
The Express Cos. are corporations
of vast magnitude;and the whole sys'

who are adding million to million
without twinge Of conscience. The
wonder is, how these monOpolieS
have escaped SO long the scrutiny of
the public, while state and nation
have been enacting laws to restrain
railroads and other monopolies. They
are not even taxed to help their vic
Tins to pay current expenses for
town, county and state purposes.
We earnestly call upon our legIs-
lators in St. Paul this winter to begin
reform on this line; and we earnest.
ly Call Tpon the newspapers OF this
section Of the state to take this mat.
ter up, and keep at it until Wa get
some relief. The press of the state
should lead in all reforms; let US be.

TIE SUGAR BEET.

Now that the election Is over, 1t 10
we'll to consider that though the
Democrats and Alliance got al thay
could hope for, and that Leg station IN
necessary, yet there are othrr Than
political questions required for snc'
cess in life. We cannot live on the
victory of 1890 until 1892 in hopes Of
obtaining another and greater one.
In the meantime we must be working
to solve the problem of how to make
life the greatest success materially.
We have discussed the flax Ques'
tiOn more or less. and there are many
other questions of Importance to be
discussed. Among others, the cul'
tivatipn Of the sugar beet commands
attention. 1t may not be generally
known that Germany exported to the
United States last year over 200, 000.'
Q10 pounds Of beet sugar, but such is
the fact. She produced 100000
tons for the year, and she pays two
cents per pound bounty.
There are 100000 sugar beet fac
tories i'll Europe, AL prospecting.
With iA.i and cl!mise as good rs any
III tive world we ought to be as well
able 10 make beet sugar as wheat
-four. The reason we do not raise
such 4 variety, OF as much per acre
as they of f, cope do, is because W"
have an unlimited supply of land.
! When we are Il little more crowded
we VIII doubtless find means to make
the land produce more abundant! ;
and we are coming to that state
pretty rapidly.
Farmers should begin at once to
experiment with the sugar beet, and
| stop this enormous drain of money
from the country for what we can
! produce 1T home. The amount OF
money sent ont Of the U. 5. annually
for sugar is $50 100000. Just think
0c the amount Of wheat required for
this sweet purchase. And while
wheat yields from to 10 bushels pei
acre, the sugar beet in Europe yield:
from IS to 20 per acre. Farmers
think about this matter and give it q
thorough trial during the political re
cess from 20 to '92, and you viii
| strike a bonanza.

Produce Exchange

Business on Change was very good
yesterday for deals in futures, as they
were quite numerous. The bad condition
of the weather caused scarcity in some
things, and prices likewise advanced.
There were few deals in wheat for
futures. Strawberries fell off consider
ably, and old potatoes seemed to have fallen
out OF the market altogether. A prime ar
ticle Of Utah gooseberries will be put on
the market about the first of next week.
The egg market kept very firm and prices
advanced considerably, but it is considered
only temporary furry, as the supply is on
the increase and prices are apt to decline
ut any moment.
The sales yesterday reached 25 cases of
Strawberries, 80 cases of eggs, 1000 pounds
of green vegetables, one car of wheat, one
car Of rye, one car of mill feed, 25 cases of
lemons and 80 cases of oranges.

The Griffin Trial.

The trial of James L. Griffin is drawing
TO close. Yesterday was spent entirely
TO hear the arguments of the attorneys.
Early in the morning the court room was
filled as usual with crowd of interested
spectators and up to late hour last even
ing the number had not lessened
Attorney Variau, for the prosecution.
finished his argument the previous even
Q ing and as court convened Arthur Brown
began his speech to the jury in behalf of
the defense. His speech was clear and
comprehensive. He commented upon the
words of Mr.. Varian and denied the truth
OF statements made by him in several in
stances. He went over the testimony of
the different witnesses examined during
the progress OF the trial and recited to the
jury in his judgment and by the weight of
the evidence produced that Griffin fired
his revolver entirely in defense of his own
person. He dwelt some time upon the
character of Hamer and several others in a
way connected in the melee. He brought
his words to an end shortly after o'clock
and asked the jury TO give the testimony of
the truthful witnesses careful considera-
ton on going to the jury room, and in
sympathy for the wife and helpless babe
of the defendant, to render a verdict of not
guilty.
Judge Henderson followed Mr.. Brown
and made long and able argument to the
ury in favor of the defense. He went
over practically the same grounds as his
colleague, and pictured how each shot was
fired the night of the awful tragedy. He
showed how each of the men stood on that
occasion, and how Griffin could have fired.
and in his belief did shoot the fatal ball
from his pistol in self-defense.
Prosecuting Attorney d. Evans began
the closing remarks near the hour of 5
o'clock. and up TO late hour last evening
the case had not been submitted to the iurv'
