AN OLD FOOL LETS IN THE LIGHT

AN OLD FOOL LET'S IN THE LIGHT.
Waseca, Minn., Oct. 23.-Waseca
county claims the palm for peculiar
matrimonial ventures in this state. on
account Of the marriage a few days
ago of G. G.. Jennings and Mrs. Fred
rika Klinga, both Of New Richland.
The groom is 50 and the bride 76 years.
The match met the opposition Of Jen-
nings' children, especially as his first
wife had been dead but four months,
but the old man was firm. The mar
riage also got the old man in trouble
with the courts. In his settleme Mt
with his children before the marriage
it developed that he was worth over
$50, 900, mostly in notes, while the as
SCISSORS books showed his property to
be valued at but 5000 The grand jury
investigated, and, as result, an in
dictment was found against him for
perjury, and he was bound over for the
next term of the district court.
This was probably a money-lender:
his money was all loaned out on notes.
He doubtless swore that he had but
5000, while he had $4,000. He is a
type of thousands. We will bet big
apple that this old scamp was a Re-
publican or Democrat (all one) and
howler for a gold basis and honest
money And then he wanted a new
wife at SO! We hope he goes to Jail.

COMICAL.

We have just heard of case amusing
in its aspects, but which yet illus
trates the wretched condition of the
farming class. A farmer near Crook
ston, Mimi, had some stacks of oats
burned up by sparks from a railroad
locomotive, and sued the company for
damages; whereupon the company de-
Tended on the ground that it would
have cost the farmer so much to
threSh the grain, so much to haul it
to the depot and so much to haul it
to the end of their road: and that the
aggregate, expenses were more than

market, and therefore Mr.. Hayseed acos

They are about to hang Harry Hay

should they do TO those who reduce
millions to poverty, wretchedness, in
sufficient fuel and clothes, and possi-

What fool Harry was to go into
the killing business when the stealing
business was so much more profitable

commerce of 300 cities in the United
States circular giving the action of
the Cleveland body in requesting the
Republican and Democratic national
committees to shorten the time of the
Presidential campaign from six
months to three months. The reason
given for making the request is that
these campaigns invariably unsettle

WHEAT AND SIL YER.

The jamestown Alert truly says that
with the visible supply of wheat some
10000 bushels less than it was year
ago, with the surplus wheat of the
United States all located in Minneso-
ia and the two Dakotas. and with the
worlds crop 37,UOOOOO bushels less
than a year ago, prices ought to ad-
vance. The Alert believes that the
influence that contribute to depress
prices are the government crop re-
ports, the bear news sent out by in
terested parties, and short selling on
the Chicago Board of Trade.
There is no doubt that the govern
ment report is generally followed by a
break in prices, and we believe that
the farmers of the country would well
come withdrawal Of the appropria-
tion for its monthly issue. A careful
report after harvest of the acreage
and yield would answer every purpose.

HOW 1T WORKS.
DEMAND FOR WHEAT.

Duluth, Oct. 23.-In two days Of last
week and one. of this 10000 bushels
OF Duluth and Manitoba wheat have
been sold in New York, and yesterday
and the day before exporters there
worked off about 100000 bushels. AS
there are light stocks at the seaboard
this means that wheat will move out
from Duluth fully as rapidly as it is
sold there, and that for the remainder
of the season there will be much
heavier movement than there has
been thus far of the new crop, which
has amounted to about l7O0U, 900 bu.
The tonnage has been augmented by
boats which have hitherto been ex-
clusivelyin the Lake Superior trade.
A II the Touring mills at the head Of
the lakes are running this week for
the first time in nearly month. All
are so far sold ahead that part Of
them are out Of the market entirely,
and the others are practically out.
This, OF course, means that they will
be run at their full capacity in order
to get out as much flour as possible be-
fore navigation closes. 1t seems to
be only matter OF capacity as to how
much they will grind, for the business
has been booked at good margins. and

again for the first time in nearly a

If this was free country, existing
under proper laws, the demand for
wheat would come right home to the
farmers, with a lively competition,
which would send the price right up
to the highest possible level. But u n
der old party management, (for the
two parties are practically one), we
are not afreeicountry, but an enslaved
one. There is not a free market in the
STATE. Nobody pretends there is. Rings
and combines fix the price, and the

their crops rot in their granaries. See

THE COURTS AGAIN.
TO HEAD OFF THE WILL OF
THE PEOPLE-A COURT RULE OVER
THROWS AN ACT OF CONGRESS-.

=
THE PEoPLE-A COURT RULE OVER
THROWS AN ACT OF CONGRESS.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says:
There is United tSates law, found N
27 Stat, chapter 209, entitled, AN act
providing when plaintiff may sue as
poor person and when counsel shall be
assigned by the court Under this act
any citizen of the United States may
commence an action in any court of the
United States and may prosecute the
same to a conclusion without being re-
quired to prepay fees or costs or to give
security therefor if he files in the court
statement, under oath, that he is unable
to do so on account of poverty. The act
provides further that the officers of the
court shall issue and serve all processes
and perform all the duties in such cases;
that witnesses shall attend as in other
cases, and that the plaintiff shall have
the same remedies as are provided by
law in other cases. The last section of the
act provides that judgment may be en-
tered for costs at the conclusion of the
suit as in other cases, provided that the
United States shall not be liable for any
of the costs thus incurred.
The cases where an application has been
made for carrying on an action in the
federal courts under this act are very rare,
and it was of considerable interest to the
members of the legal profession that a
petition was filed by John A. Ames some
time ago in the United States circuit court
OF appeals In this circuit for leave to
prosecute an appeal in that court Gin
forma pauperis," or under the poverty
law.
Judge Sanborn filed an opinion yester-
day in connection with the order of the
judges of the circuit court of appeals,
denying the petition on the grounds that
there is no provision for spending money
belonging to the United States for print
ing the records of the case for the court
to review. Unless there is an appropria-
tiOn made by act of congress for printing
these records this case cannot be reviewed
in the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals free of charge. And on account of
the omission on the part of congress to
make such an appropriation this case will
have to be dropped where it is unless the
petitioner can prevail upon the Fifty
fourth congress to make the necessary
appropriation, when the records will be
printed and then the court of appeals can
review the case
And so Judge Sanborn, a young man
who was elevated to the bench of the
Supreme Court because Of his pro-
found knowledge Of tax-titles, and
how to get poor DEVILS home for
few dollars, sets at naught an act of
the Congress of the United States
speaking the will of seventy million
people. because the Judges of the
Court, who possess under our theory
Of government no law-making power,
have established rule that the rec
ords of case must be printed! Would
it not have been better to have obey.
