birmingham, March D, 1880.
To the State Herald:
Having read the cards of Mr.. Porter
and DIR. Cunningham very carefully, L
find that they have put themselves very
plainly before the people in regard to
their position on the money question. So
far so good. Now, Mr.. Editor, l did not
see in either card where the two aspirants
for senatorial honors touched upon a very
important, if not the most important, is
sue in this campaign as far as Jefferson
county and the city of Birmingham is
concerned, viz: the commissary question.
This certainly is a very important issue
at stake, and this issue / think, is much
more important to the residents of this
county and city than the money ques-
ton |, as well as many other democrats,
would like to have these gentlemen give
us their views and position on this i'm
portant question, and them We can decide
how to vote. Yours respectfully,

PULICE COURT CASES.
Boy Becomes Drunk at a Wedding
A Request for Leniency.

The draw of the seine of
Justice last Wednesday night by
the police force brought in
two DRINKS, boy of fifteen and a
man of forty years. Tue boy was zig
tagging his way along the sidewalk in
front of The Saulpaugh. He had been
to a wedding jollification, where beer
was as free as water at the bride
groom's expense, and became drunk.
When brought into court this morn
ing he gave the name of Frank Name
and pleaded guilty. The court said
that he understood that
the boy got drunk at a
wedding feast last night, and he was
inclined to think that newly married
persons who got children drunk would
never have happy life, and he was
not sure but that such an act ought
to be an impediment to them for life.
The boys parents were poor, and it
went against the courts feelings to
send him to jail, so the lad was dis
charged with some excellent advice
and on his promise to behave him
self hereafter. The boys father, a
man with a wooden leg, thanked the
court for the talk it had given to the
boy about minding his parents.
The next prisoner to be brought up
from the steel lined cells below was
James Mcbride, charged with being
drunk. He proved to be talkative
man, and said that he was raised in
Massachusetts, and was working on a
farm near the city. Yesterday was
the first time he had ever been in
Mankato and the temptations that
beset him in a city of this size had
overcome him. He had looked upon
the wine when it was red too long,
this was the first time he was ever
before court, and he begged hard to
be let go He said that he was an
honest man,and worked for his living,
as anyone could see. He had spent or
lost all of his money, and could not
pay a fine, but if the court would be
lenient, he would get right out of the
city and 60 to work and be man, and
if he was ever brought up again he
would not ask for leniency again.
The court thought Mcbride had no
excuse for his overindulgence, as he
was a man of maturity who had evil
IDENTIFY travelled around some and
seen the world. If courts let such
men 60, the whole country would soon
be afoat with men who never got
drunk before and never will again, &C
cording to their story. 1t was ten or
thirty, and Mcbride will reside on the
hill for thirty days.

PINAFORE.
Most Satisfactorily Rendered by the
Andrews Opera Co.

The opera house was we'll filled
last evening on the appearance Of the
Andrews Opera Co. in Pinafore. The
management on the part of the opera
house was perfect, and Manager
Hoeffler left nothing undone for the
comfort of his patrons. Every lady
was given a beautiful souvenir in the
shape of an elegant rose. Pinafore is
old, but as bright and catchy as ever,
and loses nothing of it's charm in it's
rendition by the Andrews. Each part
was we'll given, and George and Ed.
Andrews are hosts in themselves.
Mr.. Hoeffier has opened the season
under most suspicious circumstances
and gives promise of a fine list of at
fractions for the fall and winter, and
deserves good patronage.

WESTERNIZING THE EAST.
Some Local People who have Leading
Positions.

What a difference there is between
now and thirty pears ago. Then the
West looked to the East for every
thing in an educational line-in the
pulpit, in medicine, and in the school
room. Now the West supplies all
these things from within itself and
contributes surplus talent and energy
to the East. Faribault county has
three young men in Massachusetts,
occupying positions of usefulness.
Dr.,,Frank Constans ranks with the
best medical gentleman of BrOckton,
and the two Rev. Conrad brothers
proclaim from the pulpits of Boston
and vicinity in the name of Christ
Jesus the Gospel of peace. Prof j.
E. Tenny, who formerly taught in
Clayton and Wells has been summon
ed to chair in Hillsdale College in
Michigan, and Miss Dora Reynolds
of Winnebago City has been offered
responsible position in the Manning
school of Oratory, at Washington. d.
D., the nations capitol, of which Miss
Marie Collins, of -MankatO, is princi-
pal: and Miss Julia Garrison has been
selected secretary of her class in
Chautauqua, n. Y, the very head
center of culture. The Westernizing
of the East has begun and general
improvement may be looked for
Blue Earth City Post.
The Conrad brothers referred to are
of Blue Earth county. Then there is
Prof. John Barr, of Mankato, holding
leading professorship in the univer-
sity at Ithica, n. Y. Rev. John Hall,
of Mankato, is leading preacher in
Illinois. Others could be named if
we had time to think over the Manka-
to talent that has gone forth to as
sist in developing the intellectually
Of the east.

POWDERLY'S VIEWS.

They tell us that we lack money,
that there is not enough in circula-
tion, and that the. minis should be
started to coin silver in unlimited
quantities for the good of labor. But
just how the man who has no silver
to be coined is to be benefited has not
been made clear to us yet; and l be-
lieve it will do the country more good
to open the mines, mills and factories
to the unemployed than to open our
minis to the unrestricted coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
While we are damning Wall street
let us not forget that under free and
unlimited coinage an English manu-
facturer may bring two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars worth of silver
bullion to our minis, have it coined
into five hundred thousand dollars
and buy up the factory OF the ruined
American manufacturer with a COM
modify which we have doubled in
price at our mint, without asking
for the aid or consent Of any other ma
tion." Are we fools to try the doubt
full experiment of silver monometal-
lism when the certainty of enriching
foreign silver owners lights the
heavens before us?-E;Ttrdct from
Poeoderlys speech at Cooper Unaon.

is the suppression of the truth. As a
matter of fact, hardly any wheat
raised in Brown county is ever shipped
to Chicago. Nearly every bushel of it
goes to Minneapolis, to which the
freight rate from New Ulm is but 3-5
cents per bushel. If Mr.. Lind was
disposed to deal honestly with his
hearers or readers, would he have sup
pressed this fact?
And Mr.. Lind continuing the mat
ter of freight rates in his letter of &C
ceptauce, says:
That transportation rates, at least
on certain commodities, are unreal
sonably high, and higher than in our
sister states less fayorably situated, is
fact easily demonstrated. The Re-
publican party in its platform of 1890
pledged itself "to secure the reduc-
tion of rates on grain, lumber and
coal" How it has redeemed the
promise let the people answer. In the
section of the state where [ reside, on
the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the > Chicago & North
| western, where / am the most familiar
with the situations, rates of grain,
more especially, instead of having
been reduced, have been advanced
from 10 to Is per cent in the last ten
years.
In answer to this, the Pioneer Press
says:
Now, this statement is made directly
in the teeth of the official report Of
the railroad commissioners. showing
that from 1880 to 1890 there had been
a decline of freight rates on wheat on
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad of
more than 33 per cent, and there has
been a considerable of a decline since
then.
Yesterday we published an abstract
of the annual report of the Great
Northern Railroad company. In that
report it is stated that sin 1SS0-1SS1
the average charge per ton per mile
was 2.S8 cents, while in 1866 it had
fallen to .976 of cent, or to only
little more than One-third of the
former price," This rate of decline
on the Great Northern for fifteen
years almost exactly correspond with
the decline in the average freight rate
in the whole country for twenty years,
as stated by Mr.. Poor.
And it adds that these rates instead
of being higher than those Of our
sister states are considerably lower
than in Wisconsin or Iowa, and says
that if this statement is disputed by
Mr.. Lind, it will furnish the proof
thereof.
BUTT is not probable that these facts
regarding freight rates will make any
difference with Mr.. Lind. Standing
squarely upon the revolutionary Chi
cago platform, he will continue as he
has started out to inflame the pas
sions of the people against capital, in
the hope that he may profit IN the way
of votes to help him in his ambition
to become governor of Minnesota.
But do the people of this state want
a man for governor who will so twist
figures?
