the contrary Notwithstanding, and
the justices who assented to Mitch
ellis opinion. They are either consum-
mate asses or petUifogging lawyers,
certainly not jurists. 1.-THE state
cannot go into the grain businss."
The law did not propose that it
should. 1t proposed to make pub
lie market and storage room over
night, for what was not sold during
business hours in that market, or fol
a longer time, until the grip of the
robber combine was taken off. There
is no question but that the state can
build public roads, and why not a
waiting room for passengers and
! freight at receiving and delivery
points? Thus the court thus making
itself the defender of the highway
robbers, is too ridiculous to be taken
seriously for the fact. Set the doc
tors who examined Hoskins, to feel
the swelled heads of those judges and
jury to pass on their cases
separately citizen Donnelly. have
no doubt but that even a judge of
probate court Of Ramsey county, will
approve the finding Of each jury hold
ing that the demented Of that court
should be sent to St. Peters, until
they recover sense enough to reverse
that decision. Why! The state is in
the Irvine business. 1t even bought
a stuffed moose, and appointed John
Furlong to carry the purse, with
$4,000 in it, and keep sofas in a
building in Chicago, for Minnesotians
to rest on, and mirrors to observe
their good looks, and beds to sleep in.
1t has even gone into drainage bust
ness, 100000, to make swamps avail
able for raising wheat. l followed
the survey OF one ditch for seven
miles across the Beltrami swamp,
September 25th, 1893.
But the state has no right to I'M
load wheat from car, needed by
some one else, at destination, in a
safe place, where robbers cannot lay
their hands on it. The state even
builds armories to keep the weapons
in for those who drill to catch the
robbers, and destroyers of prosperity
but it cannot make board pen,
to unload car of wheat. The
state has $500 worth of buildings
on the'fair grounds, in Ramsey coun-
| ty for exhibiting it's product, one
week in the year, but it cannot make
"a permanent exhibit for it's staple
product. Rats!
The state can levy a ten years tax.
for permanent headquarters, on St.
Anthony Hill, when it has good one
! nearer to the center Of civilization
! the St. Globe and Pioneer Press. The
new building will be close to the
| REPRESENTATIVE. Its shadow will
dwarf it. Less barn room for herderS,
and voting cattle, and more store
room for. bread stuff is desira BILE.
J. The people are the court of last
resort. Justice Collins, said private
| ly, after the court saw it even in the
tax case: "The decision of a court Of
last resort, reflects the public opin-
ion." The daily papers of the Twin
Cities are enormously taken for pub
lie opinion by that court now, on the
doctrine of law, or else editors
and judges, sip straw from the same
bowl.
By the way, was it unanimous?
Print it in full please, for your read

bi-metallist, as far as that goes, but
when the silver owners, have got
their cheStnuts out of the fire; the
people are only one-fourth of the way
to prosperity. We greenbackers have
to march on. We are willing to help
the silver men until they get out of
the woods: then we can mount, be-
cause we are on the plains, and
neither the mono-maniacs, nor the
Silver-barons, can get us into am
bush. And we can ride along the
whole line straight to the new posi-

Sheridan went towards Winchester.

neither can his Judas, with the pen
