support of an impa ssioned press in both

agricultural industry in Great Britain

ONE Leyden, a reformed"
Roman Catholic, whatever that
may mean, through his agent,
rented Market Hall, St. Paul, to
deliver lecture. The Catholics
of the SANITY City, some of them
at least, protested against the hall
being rented to Mr.. Leyden and
the contract was annulled. We
presume Leyden is a professional
anti Catholic agitator for the money
there is in it. But it matters not
what he is or what his motives are.
The right to freely and fully ex-
press his mind on any subject is
guaranteed to every man in this
country. Mr.. Leyden should have
been permitted to air his views IN
st. Paul and the authorities should
have protected him.

MINNEAPOLIS Journal: The sin
gular spectacle is presented in the
Canadian province of Quebec of
the Roman Catholic archbishop of
Montreal refusing to recognize the
authority of the secular court,
where an action was brought
against him for SANDER by the pro-
prietor of a French journal, the
Reva1e, whose paper had been con-
demned publicly by the prelate as
heretical and unfit to be read by
good churchmen. The prelate
says he isn't amenable to civil
courts. If we ever annex Canada,
that kind of business will be
stopped pretty quick. In this
country no person is superior to
the civil courts.

The examination of young Ptrr, ac-
cused of incendiarism, was held before
Justice Dunning at his office in Fores-
ton last Saturday. D. T. Calhoun, of
St. Cloud, appeared for the accused
and County Attorney Ross for the
State. The evidence against Ptrr,
as stated before, was purely circumstan-
tial. His footprints in the sand were
what gave him away. Mr.. Ross
frankly admits that the ''footprints''
alone will never convict him. The
justice determined to hold Ptrr and
fixed the bail at $1,000. At last
accounts Ptrr had not secured bail and
was still in Jail. On Monday, we I'M

WE wish every reader. of the
UNION could peruse Senator Stew
arts speech, delivered in the
United States senate on the 18th
and 26th ult., in which he de-
nounced President Cleveland for
his arrogant and unwarranted at
tempts to influence legislation.
The daily papers gave only a short
synopsis Of what Mr.. Stewart said.
The Congressional Record of Sept.
Both contains the senator's remarks
in full. 1t was a richly merited
and beautifully administered ex-
coriation of the presidential dicta-
tor and bulldozer. Here is one
paragraph: ''Let the friends of the
president deny that he used pat
ronage to control legislation; let
his friends make it clear to this
country that he has not interfered
with legislation; let them make it
clear to this country that patron
age has not been given to those
who will support his measures and
withheld from those Democrats who
oppose his. views"

THE NORTON CASE;

The motion for change of venue in
the Norton case was argued Friday
afternoon by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Edgerton, D. W. Bruckart OPP
posed the motion. Mr.. Edgerton read
an account of the killing of Joseph
Brumbaugh from the UNION, and
argued that the article in question had
preJud1ced the people of Mile Laos
county in Mr.. Norton's favor. The
UNION has never said that the killing
of Brumbaugh was justifable or that
it was not justifable. It simply gave
an impartial account of the unfortunate
affair and neither condemned or ex-
onerated Mr.. Norton, and if that was
the only reason advanced by Mr..
Edgerton for a change of venue the
motion was very properly denied. AS
a matter of fact the UNION is not
prejudiced either way. Furthermore,
we believe fair trial can be had in
this county, especially so as there are
hundreds of new corners in the county,
who have never heard of Norton or the
deceased. Anyhow, the motion was
denied and the trial set for Nov. 18th
next.

OUR good friends the Princeton
UNION and Fairmont Sentinel, are very
positive in their assertions that all the
daily papers in the Twin Cities have
been corrupted by somebody to preach
against the free coinage of silver and
their utterances on financial questions
are not sincere.-Iodd County Argus.
We did not assert that all or any
of the Twin City dailies had been
corrupted. But we do assert and
believe that they misrepresent the
true sentiments of majority of
the producers of Minnesota on the
silver question, and we further
assert that the Twin City dailies,
without regard to political afilia-
tons, are arrayed on the side of
the Shylocks of Wall street. In
this connection 1t might not be out
Of place to quote paragraph from
the first volume Of Alison's Eu-
rope, second series, page 1:
1t is generally supposed that the
powers of thought, if allowed free ex-
preston, are the best guaranty against
the encroachments of despotism; and
that the loss of freedom is never to be
unprecedented as long as the liberty of
the press is preserved. But though
that is often it is by no means always
true; on the contrary, the selfish meas
ures of class government, and the de-
struction of free privileges by military
powers are never so effectually secured
as by the support of a corrupted or
hireling press. Beyond all question
the rude despotism OF Cromwell in
England, the nicely constructed chains
of imperial power in the hands Of Ma
poleon in France never could have ex-
listed but for the cordial and interested

that is what the logs on 36-42-26 were.
