DEMOCRATIC papers are fond of pro-
claiming that the Republicans never
fulfill any of their promises. They
will have to admit however that the
Republicans of Minnesota have car
ried out their pledges. They promised
legislatio for the farmer relative to
the grain question, and it was enact
ed. The only objection which the
Democrats and Populists have as yet
been able to bring against it, has
been that it was introduced and sup
ported by the Republicans. 1t was
made party measure simply by Dem
ocratic action. The Republicans also
promised to reduce taxation, and
they have kept their word by reduc-
ing the state tax levy 0.5 of a mill.
This is a matter which will be appre-
ciated by the people all over the state.
These are but instances which show
that the Democrats are mistaken in
their views as to the way the Repub
licans handle their promises.

A Thrilling Story of the War, from the
Pen of Veteran.

Pen of a Veteran.
was in the disastrous skirmish known as
the Town Creek expedition, under General
G. NJ. Dodge. My Company and Co. F Of
our regiment were ordered to support two
pieces of flying artillery in advance of the
main column. Only fifteen of our command
reached the points designated and in our
retreat to the main army were rendered
unfit for duty, and sent to the hospital.
After three months, / returned to duty, and
remained with my regiment until May Z,
1864, and on that day, at the battle OF Balm
bridge, 1 with thirty three others of our
regiment were taken prisoners of war We
arrived at Andersonville on or about the
fifth day of June, where 1 remained until
the last of December, during which time L
contracted the scurvy to such an extent that
my left leg was contracted to its uttermost,
being black from the foot to about halfway
between the knee and hip; and in this
horrible condition l left Andersonville for
Florence, South Carolina, where remained
q prisoner until February 26. Our exchange
papers were signed at East Ferry, making
me prisoner of war nine months and
twenty days. From that day to this have
suffered from scurvy, causing indigestion
and constipation to such an extent that from
December 26 to March is l had only eight

could give me very little relief. On March

with their remedies. / commenced taking

LEGISLATION FOR THE FARMER.

In referring to the work of the leg
islature just adjourned, and the effect
it will have upon the farmer, the Pho
'aeer Press day or two ago said:
The present session Of the legisla
ture will pass into history as having
passed more measures for the real
benefit Of the farmers than any of
it's predecessors. OF this character
are two bills which have become laws,
one of which places the country ele
vators under the regulative supervi
sion of the state railroad and ware
house commission, land gives the farm
ers in all cases of dispute the benefit
of that authoritative state inspection
OF their grain which has heretofore
been confined exclusively to the mid
dlemen or buyers of the grain, who
have shipped it to the terminal ele-
vators. IL affords an ample pIotec-
tiOn to farmers from fraud or I'M US
tlce on the part of the elevator men
in the grading of wheat, and in dock
age for dirt, which has heretofore
been left solely to the arbitrary will
OF the elevator men or buyers of
wheat. 1t also gives them the right to
take a warehouse receipt therefor,
which is negotiabl for like Quanti-
ty and quality of wheat either at the
place where the wheat is sold or at
any terminal elevator to which they
may choose to ship it. A measure of
similar character has been before the
legislature for six years; the ware
house commission has repeatedly rec
commended, but while filling the air
with loud complaints that the farm
ers were being robbed by the elevator
men, the Alliance leaders have always
succeeded in denying them this SIM
pie and effective protection on the
pretense that the farmers did not
want it. Gov. Nelson, who urgently
recommended this measure in his in
augural message, and who used his
personal influence with members TIC
secure it's passage, deserves the chief
credit for the enactment of this nee.
essary and beneficent law. The other
measure is designed to relieve the
farmers of the domination of elevator
rings and local monopolies, by giving
them a right to erect elevators upon
the railroad rights of way, and pro-
vides resort to condemnation pro-
ceedings in case the applicant for a
warehouse site and the railroad COM
pany disagree as to the purchase price.
These two measures ought to go far
in giving the farmers free and open
market for their grain, and will do
immensely more to accomplish this
purpose than the favOrite measure OF
the Populist leaders, which provided
that the state should erect and main
tain an elevator at Duluth.

THE reports this morning state
that there is no cholera in Winnipeg
and no real foundation for the news
that was sent out yesterday that
there was cholera there. 1t was SIM
ply a case of fever, and as the party
was on a train which had just arrived
from the east, some supposed OF
course it must be cholera, hence the
report. The Northwest will breathe
easier, for while there might he no
apparent danger this side of the line,
even though there should be num-
Der of cases at Winnipeg, still every
one would rest much easier with the
northwest territory free from the
dread plague. With the denial of
this report comes the opinion OF a
number of New York physicians that
there will be no cholera epidemic in
this country this summer, though
they admit there may be a few cases
here and there during the hot mont tbs.
Nevertheless it is just as we'll to see
that every nook and corner is thor
oughly cleaned, and that every dan
ger from these sporadic cases develop
ing into an epidemic is removed.

THE ReUieaU thinks we should have
criticised Aids. Fowler and Pitcher
for not attending the council meeting
Monday night, as well as Aid. Peter
son, but admits that the latter was
cenSurable in not attending and does
not deny that he remained away for
the sole purpose of preventing bust
ness through the lack of a quorum.
The difference is that Aids. Fowler
and Pitcher were out of the city on
important business of other people,
while Aid. Peterson owes his time to
no one but himself and was in the
city. It is not our intention to eX-
cuse anyone for being absent. Had
there been any desire to take ''snap
Judgment" in the election of city at
torney by Aid. Higgs or anyone else it
could have been done at the meeting
when the council organized and the
same four aldermen were the only
ones present. But they did not so de-
sire, and wide notice was given of
Monday lights meeting. The only
division that exists in the council, if
there is any, is not due to the Repub-
lican members, but to the mayor
whom the Rec5eac helped to elect. The
mayor has many appointments to
make and he expects the council will
endorse them. The council has but
one appointment to make. that of city
attorney. and the mayor should have
courtesy enough to allow it to do.this
without interfering and attempting
to dictate who shall he chosen and
who shall not. The matter will be
decided Saturday night, and we hope
that the council will be permitted to
make it's own choice and that no fur
Their outside pressure will be brought
to bear to influence it in the exercise
of it's own judgment. In the mean
while scores of laboring men are de
prived of their pay, and the whole
city government is disjointed because
of the prevention of Monday nights
council meeting, done for the pur-
pose of delaying the election of city
attorney. But this object was over
reached, as Mr.. Young holds the office
until his successor is elected, and he
could well afford to have the matter
put off from meeting to meeting.

THE Minneapolis Journal says the
analysis of sugar beets grown in Hen
nepin and Anoka counties showed
some of the beets to contain as high
as 1S per cent. of sugar, and the aver
ages to be 157 per cent, the purity of
the juice eing 81 per cent. An aver
age of many other counties of from II
to Is per cent. was found. 1t thinks
in view of this that the farmers
should pay more attention to the
matter, and try to secure the location
of beet sugar factories in the state,
and says there is an opportunity for
first class beet sugar factory in Hen
nepin or Anoka counties. What is
true of that locality, is also true of
this section of the state. There is no
better location for a beet osugar fac
tory in the state than right here in
Mankato. The railroad facilities are
excellent and would make it possible
for the farmers for miles around to
take advantage of the opportunity
and further diversity their farming
by raising beets. When the matter
was recently looked into at St. James,
we understand it was found that a
good factory could be put in for from
1000 to $4,000. OF course this is
not on as large scale as the five or
six which are now in operation in this
country. But it is not necessary to
start in on SO extensive scale. If
the venture proves a success it would
be an easy matter to enlarge when
ever desired.

TRICKS OF A BEAVER.
How a Tame One Undertook to Dam tn
 Arkansas River.

How a Tame One Undertook to Dam the
 Arkansas River.
 A tame beaver, kept some years ago by the soldiers at Bent's fort, on the Arkansas river, became quite famous on account of his sagacity. This ami maj was caught when young, and be- came perfectly docile, being a great ia voritc of the families of the fort and of the trappers when they returned from their trips to the mountains. says the Great Divide. The little fellow could never be cured of his instinct to build dams. He actually undertook to dam the Arkansas river, and worked for months all night long, returning to the fort every morning as tho sun rose. He cut down quite number of large trees, but life proved too short for the com pletion of his plans.
 While around the fort he was con- stantly turning over every kind of q vessel that contained water and col lecting sticks to head it off as it flowed away. One night by oversight the beaver was locked up in the warehouse. During the night in nosing about he discovered a ten-gallCn tank of mo- lasses that had been left uncovered. That discovery proved Jacks doom. The next day he was found gasping for life, having been caught in the sticky mass as the tank was upiurned. He never recovered from the shock, and was tenderly buried in the presence of a large circle of his friends.
