Northwestern Miller, of Minneapolis,
''we do not think the Minneapolis mills
would have any trouble in securing all
the trade of the maritime provinces
as customers, for freight rates are
much cheaper from Minneapolis than
from the Canadian Northwest. Why
don't the United States and Canada
send more business men and less law
yers to congress and parliament? I
can buy no flour from you at present,
but hope the day is not far off when
tariff walls between the United States
and Canada will be obliterated." TO
which the Miller adds: 1--WE join
heartily in this WISH but as long as
both countries continue to intrust the
adjustment of business affairs to cheap
politicians, instead of men of business,
we fear the present conditions will con-
tinue to prevail. Canada has duty
of rs cents per barrel on all flour coming

A PopuIistic Proposal.

Moorhead News.
We notice that Senator Miller Re-

legislature proposing to loan the per-
manent school fund of Minnesota, now
amounting to $12,OOO,OOO, to its farmers
on mortgage at 6 per cent, the county
commissioners of the county where
loans are made to retain l per cent to
indemnify for cost of management and
for possible losses on guarantee of the
loans. What! Isn't this pure Popu-
lism and humbug? 1t certainly won't
pass, because if it should it would
verify the crankisms of a few disturb
ers in this state that have been advo-
eating government loans. AS one dear

BACK FIRST, THEN AHEAD.

In his Forum article Henry Holt,
the publisher. said that Intelligent
and respectable people are reading
their classics and studying science
while they are sitting on the thin
crust of a mephitic chasm-or a
volcano" No one can study the cur
rents of our social life without
suits when the opposing forces,
gathering strength day by day, meet
in open, final conflict. Down among
the masses is a deep and burning
sense of oppression, of denial of
rights, of the foreclosure of oppor-
tunity, of the favoritism Of govern
ments Just or unjust, the feeling
is there. The men talk it, and their
papers voice their thoughts in print.
In the house, while the bond bill
was under discussion, Mr.. Hatch
read a letter from Proctor Knott to
one of the senators, which expresses
the feeling of apprehension held by
all who watch closely the trend of
opinion. Referring to the fact that
his friends doubted his sanity when,
in 1860, he predicted that the cleo
ton of Lincoln meant civil war, and
that when war came they regarded
me as Byron did Jeffries-'a id
discerning fellow he says: "NoW
mark my words, if the memorable
law of cause and effect has not been
eXpunged from the statute book of
the Almighty, unless a halt is
called p. d. O., you may expect to
see the horrors of the French revo-
luton put on the American stage
with all modern improvements,
and that within the next decade"
After making all due allowance
for the pesSimiSm of an old man
and it's tendency to exaggeration,
there is much in the present condi-
ton to give rise to grave fears for
the future. We are having the
fruits of socialism in government,
the fruit of the use of the latter
oStensilbly for public welfare, but,
as it ever has been and always will
be, utilized by greed and cunning to
it's own enrichment. 1t is safe
statement to make that there are not
a hundred men in the Union whose
fortunes are above a million whose
wealth is not largely the fruit of
some use, direct or indirect, of the
power to tax.

Judge Willis found it necessary to ie--
tire from his chambers to~one of. the
court rooms to hear the case. The at
torneys at once became personal, and
the excitement of Saturday seemed
about to be repeated, when the court
Informed them that no improprieties
would be tolerated; that counsel must
observe due respect and politeness in
referring to each other, and he would
fine the first one that refused to do so.
This admonition was the means of
preventing any further rise in the
temperature, but there was a bitter
ness in the forced politeness following
that proved quite as entertaining to
the audience.
Attorney Bramhall showed plainly
that ne was tickled over the success
ful outcome of the trick himself and
Attorney Severance had turned. and
ne did not seem to care whether the
court or opposing counsel appreciated
1t or not While his language when
addressing the court was not insolent.

his legs stretched out, his head thrown
back, and his thumbs stuck under his
Vest-hls manner, in short, being that

Mr.. Kellogg moved for a dismissal
OF the case on the ground that a re-
ceiver had already been appointed.

wanted to be heard, but neither Bran

SO Tree from care that they could at

different days were suggested, but one
or the other of them had an engage
meht for each particular hour.
Finally Judge Willis asked:
Have either of you got any engage
ment for 8 o'clock in the morning?"
They both replied that they had not,
SO the hearing of arguments was set
for o'clock this morning. A session
OF court so early in the morning is
something unusual.
The case, as it now stands, involves
some fine legal questions, and will I'M
doubtedly attract much attention be-
fore 1t is adjusted. The st. Paul Title
Insurance and Trust company, the
plaintiff in the action under which the
receiver has been appointed, is the
trustee of the bondholders who have
brought the subsequent action 1t is
claimed by the bondholders that when
the railroad defaulted in the payment
of the first interest coupons, the Title
Insurance company was instructed to
institute foreclosure proceedings, but
failed to do so. Another question will
be as to the jurisdiction of Judge
Crosby, in view of the fact that the
White Bear extension of the road is
not regularly operated, cars being run
on it only in the summer time. 1t will
probably also be questioned as to
whether Mr.. Moe has the necessary
qualifications to fill the position of re-
