Referring to the dire threats Of
Wall street, in case the people Of
this country should insist on their
right OH the money question, Mr..
Donnelly has this forcib1e state
ment in the Representatives.
What do the people of United
States care if every railroad cor
poration ia this country is swept
level by bankruptcy? We don t
own the "watered stock" and the
roads themselves would remain.
Wall street. cannot take up the
ties ami iron by it's panics. What
do we care if every trust and
com bine in this nation was flat
tened out fatter than a starved
bedbug? The people would sing
-"glory hallelujah.' What in
terest have the common people in
the speculations of Wall street,
with it's endless lies, sWindlings,
receptions and frauds? Ifevery
man that deals in the accursed
place was shipped over to Lon
don and kept there the country
would be infinitely richer. Alb
raham Lincoln said, a generation
ago. that he wished to God every
one of them "had his devilish

The contract to build the

five hundred dollars moro than
the estimate. But Birch in his
anxiety to get something to say
against the editors Of the Will

clusion, guided by the wish in
his mind no doubt, that the
price must be $4,000! Oh We
Gods! Birch pretending to give
statements Of fact? Utterly
impossible! No, should Birch
ever be so unfortunate as to state
facts then his occupation would
be gone.
The Argus editor knows that
he cannot injure the character
and standing Of the editors of
Willmar TR1BUNE5sby stating the
truth. He knows that the only
weapon he has to fight them with
is black lies, the blacker the bet
ter. Hence his so called state,
ment of fact, a down right and
willful lie, of course.
Well, the people of Kandiyohi
County know Birch by this time.
His lies deceive no one. In fact
we hope that he will keep right
on from now until NOvem Der.

as much sense in it. And yet
thousands of otherwise intelli-

This reminds me of a funny little in
cident which occurred on the Elkhorn

that the sheriff from Chadron had been
out after a horse thief: failing to secure
his man, he fell in with some acquain-
tttnces on his return, among
whom was Il travelling man who was
noted for his practical jokes along the
line. The sheriff pulled a pair OF
handouts out of his pocket and was
carelessly playing with them when the
drummer remarked, II wonder how it
would seem to be handcutfed:' and as
he said this he thoughtlessly snapped
the handouts upon his wrist. Pre-
sently, as his curiosity had become
satisfied, he remarked to the sheriff
"Let me have your key and I will un-
lock them.' II have no key" dryly
remarked the sheriff. In the mean
time, another travelling man slipped
back through the other coaches and
informed the passengers that il they

CVERRULED BY THE COURT.

All the morning session of Judge Wal
lace's court his Honor sat and listened to
Mr.. PiIlsbury argue on his demurrer to
the accusation of Andy Clunie against
John D. Siebe, the Assessor.
The accusation brought by Mr.. Clunie
was IN pursuance of the action brought in
the Supreme Court and in anticipation of
its result. His charges were based on the
fact that the property of the Market-street
Railway Company, alleged to be worth
SIT, 500 900. was assessed for only So, 900 900,
| and he wanted TO have the Assessor re-
moved from office because of misconduct
for thus embarrassing the property.
In the Supreme Court the Justices said
that the court could not pass upon the
propriety of an assessment. If it were
wrong, the Assessor might be removed
from Office, but the Board of Equalization
was the only court of appeal from an as
sessment supposed to be unjust.
Pursuant to the impllcat ton thus con-
veyed, Clunie filed an accusation against
the Assessor in the Superior Court, and
yesterday it came up for trial. Mr.. Pills
bury, for the railroad and the Assessor.
demurred on the ground that the court
had no lurisdictiOn-it was an assessment
matter and the courts could not interfere.
de further argued that no corrupt mis-
| conduct had been charged, in fact he said
| the Assessor had been deceived by mis-
| representations made to him and had
based his assessment on these representa-
| tons, believing them to be correct. The
| section of the code under which the pro-
ceedings were held, he continued, did not
apply IN this case. Had the Assessor re-
| fused tc assess the property at ali then il
q @ TNrAlU hn Anrttr hn1
assessed and at what the Assessor thought
fair valuation and, Mr.. Pillsbury argued
no one could accuse him of wrong-doing
| under the circumstances. He concluded
| by saying that If the court sustained Mr.
| Clunie in his position it would then have
| TO adopt the functions of the Board o.
| Equalization and determine the value o.
the railroads property.
| In reply Mr.. Clunie said that the prop
erty was admittedly worth 1880, 900
the assessment was $3.0000 600, and be
! thought that fact misconduct enough tc
| bring the proceedings. The Assessor, be
| said. is directed by the constitution to
assess property at its full value, and once
more he alluded to the discrepancy.
Judge Wallace overruled the demurrer
| He said he believed the court had a right
to review assessments, and he believed in
this case there was cause for review. That
the Assessor had a right to exercise his
uiSCietiou, ne Salu, was evident, out IN
the case at bar he thought the vast differ
| ence between the figures warranted q
| trial
Mr.. Pillsbury wanted until Thursday tc
prepare an answer and also to secure a
writ of prohibition from the Supreme
Court, but Judge Wallace refused any
more time than to this morning, and SO
the case will come up again at that time.
Before 1t proceeds far, however, a writ oil
| prohibition will be applied for and the
case will come before the Supre me Court
first.
