Corky COMPLAINS.

The Winona Times man weeps and
says that the Record man wants to down
the Times; that Patterson was entitled
to q rebate because once upon q time
Charles Lock was given q rebate; that
the Record Is friendly to some unnamed
person at Winona who "tried to oust him
from Office, just as the Times man die"
etc.
To which we reply that the Record
man does not wish to down the Times
man, because, If that came to pass, some
sure enough newspaper man would prob
ably start real newspaper in its stead at
Winona. and we much prefer Patterson
to any one else, because he's such an easy
mark"
The fact that Charles Lock was given
ferry rebate of less than half of the sum
obtained by Patterson-whic was not
generally known until the recent rebate
question came up--does not help the mat
ter, for two wrongs do not make right;
and we still-although not partial to
discussion Of "has.been' problems--in-
sist that there was no legal authority for
giving the rebate in either case. Grant
ing. for the sake of argument, however, the
existence, of legal right We contend
that rebate Of $3.50 was unreasonable,
excessive, and unjust to the man whose
bid was highest after the rebate was de-.
Quoted, and that about $15, as at first
suggested by Chairman McLain, wus suf-
| f1cient.
AS to the Times mans claim that he
'tred to oust" the writer from office, we
| are free to say that we admit our obliga-
ton to him in that instance and we trust
that we shah continue to merit and re-
ceive the powerful assistance of the same
opposition.
But where the antagonism of grown-up
men-whitc men--is concerned. the case
| is different The writer lays no claim to
being IAN angel" as the Times intimates,
because he happens to agree on some
public question with q citizen whom the
Times alleges was "ferninst' HIM at the
polls. We are unable to see that It's either
wise or just to cternally antagonize any
one on new issues regardless of whether
or not we believe him to he rlght--be-
cause he has exercised the high privilege
OF supporting for office any one whom he
chooses. Some of the writer's warmest
personal friends in the county are among
those with whom he has done political
battle in days of yore. 1t is absurd and
silly to bear personal i'll will for all time
against any one, on account of party or
political opposition, and one who should
do so would find himself very much alone
after awhile. A candidate has a perfect
right to seek the support of his fellow.
| citizen but, failing to receive it, no one
| save an egotist would consider such op.
| position in the light of personal injury.

II hardly seems possible that the events
which have taken place within the past
fortnight on Chickamauga attle.feld
are within the realm of the real. The
old Confederate soldiers We'd with one
another in honoring The Stars and Stripes
and in extending hospitality to the visit
ing boys in blue. Old Confederate gen.
erals made speeches in which they de-
clared that the South freely and unreserv-
edly accepts the doctrine that no state or
states has right to secede from the
Union. And the tenor of the speeches
showed that the Southern people are
about ready to concede that their own
happiness and prosperity are much great
er than they would have been had the
principles of freedom succumbed to those
of slavery. A century did not make one
people of Norman and Britoh, The fol-
lowers of York and Lancaster were antag-
onlstic for two generations after actual
hostilities ceased. Under the first James,
the first Charles, the Long Parliament
the Protector and the restored Sluarts,
one portion of the English speaking race
was always ready at the first opportunity
to wreak vengeance on their brethren
who had been for time in the ascendant.
Many years after the Stuart power was
overthrown the Scottish Jacobltes eagerly
laid down their lives for pretender. In
Ireland, to-day, thoughts of Londonderry
and the Boyne often lead to fierce con-
tention between the orange and the green.
But "what hath God wrought" among
the English-speaking people of America |!
More than half-century of bitterness
and contention over slavery; then actual
warfare in Kansas assaults by ruffians
and challenges by duelists in the chamber
of the highest law making body of the
Nation. And, finally, four.years' war
in which the blood of brethren was
poured out like water, ending with VIC
tory for freedoms legions. Next the
bitter reconstruction period, with its Ku.
Klux outrages in the South and repressive
measures in Congress. Many wise and
patriotic men believed that the two Sec
tions could never again be united IN
mutual sympathy and a common pur.
pose. Tie outlook was dark, indeed.
And now, thirty years after the close
OF the great war-in less than genera
ton the last vestige of Mason and Dix
..on's Line, that Chinese wall between
the North and the South, has disappeared.
When the people of Atlanta, an old.time
slave city, welcome the Grand Army with
open arms; when old Southern leaders
make speeches fervent with Union loyalty
and devotion /; when Confederate soldiers
bearing the Nations flag march in pro-
cesslon to the strains of national airs,
when they enthusiastically cheer the
Union veterans and the loyal sentiments
OF the speakers, who shall deny that the
"era of good feeling" between the North
and the South has Gomez

Is There a Conspiracy Z,

Royal r. Dalrymplc in Fargo Argus:
Is there a conspiracy to rob the farmer
Of the northwest of his product this
year? Is there combination of Mime
apolis millers and Chicago board of.trade
sharks conspiring to this end? One year
ago there was in the visible supply
go. l6S, 900 bushels Of wheat; to-day there
is SO, 755. 900 bushels-a little more than
half that in sight last year-and wheat is
selling in Duluth and Minneapolis for
less money than it commanded then when
we had seventy million visible. There
is nothing, absolutely nothing, in the
situation to warrant present prices. A
combination of millers and board of
trade men, with millions behind them,
could easily manipulate the markets as is
now being done. Is there such combi-
nation7 Is there a crime being perpe-
trated so vast in Its proportions as to
successfully rob-, not a single common
wealth, but every farmer in the north-

and IS to be paid after thrashing, two
pigs and three sheep for the Hanson
family, who were burned out. Billy
Baxter and J. N. Roop also had lists out
and were quite successful, but we did
not learn the total raised by them. Joe
Kalberer, too, gave the family some
sheep and chickens; and Gust Swanson
gave helfer calf and Oscar Nelson and

which every one responded to help the

und sturdy man, "bs bsggef than his father"
He has developed capacity for hard

be for lack of attention and energy.

able and instructive sermon, delivered by
the Rev. Mr.. Wiley. There is to be
service next Sabbath. at two O. clock p. m.,
at Mr.. Coover's, in Burr Oak. Everybody
cordially invited. We see by the last
Record that D. D. doesn't deny the young
Morton county lady in the book business,
but brings up as an excuse that the EN-
mons county girl gave him the mitten some
three years ago.. AL the wheat hauled to
the Glencoe elevators 80 far this fall has
graded No. hard. -. 1t is hoped by many
here that Kent's sentence will be committed
to life imprisonment, and that the repro.
bate that killed Mrs. Kent will be hanged.
....It is learned that the man who is
developing the Silver Butte coal mine is
from the Beaver Greek country. ... The hot
weather was shut off by cold wave that
passed over this part of the country on the
21st....A large crowd of friends and
neighbors attended the hop at the Corbin
House, given by Comrade Corbin on the
night of the 2lst. There was good music
furnished by the Riverside band. 4. Mrs.
