WRIT OF ERROR.

According to the daily papers the
supreme court of the United States
has allowed writ of error in the
case of J. F. Jacobson VS.. the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis railway, and
the Great Northern. an action COM
menced to compel these two roads
to put in a "Y" at Hanley Falls,
whereby certain freight could be
dealt out to the consumer a great
deal cheaper than at present. 1t
will be remembered that the Mime
sofa Supreme Court decided that
the ''Y' must be put in, in decis-
ion handed down last spring.
The railroad companies claimed
that the law, under which the ssY"
was attempted to be enforced, was
in contravention of the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution of
the United States, and if the writ of
error has been granted on those
grounds, it will be impossible to
make railroad companies put in
"Ys'' at crossings, until the con-
stitution of the United States is
amended, feat that will require
many years.
It is case where a technicality
gives to the railroad companies an
unfair advantage over the people,
as it gives them longer hauls of
traffic, and compels the people to
pay the long distance rate.

Fred. w. Johnson of the New

If ever a man was entitled to an
appointment from Gov. Lind it was
Mr.. Johnson, and we are very glad
that the boy has been recognized.

rustling young fellow like Fred. is

TWO GOOD BILLS.

During the past week Senator
Somerville has introduced two i'm
portant measures for the cOnsidera-
ton of the Senate and House.
Both relate to prison binding Irvine.
The first limits the amount that can
be sold to any one person, firm or
corporation, to 1900 pounds, this
amount being enough, according to
reliable sources, to bind the grain
on single section of land. The
second bill, if it becomes a law,
makes it a crime to sell any binding
Irvine from the prison at profit Of
more than two cents per pound.
Both bills should pass. The
first, because it will prevent veal
thy dealers from buying up the out
put of the Saltwater prison, and
second, because, when the binding
Irvine plant was placed in the pris-
on, it was with the intention that
the farmers of Minnesota were to
buy the product at the least possible
profit to the State. Senator Don.
nelly, the author of the binding
Irvine plant law, himself made 8
speech in it's favor pointing to the
fact that it would prevent the farm
ers from falling into the hands O
the merciless trusts. While the
plant should more than pay for it
self there is no need of an excessive
profit.

LA BELLE FRANCE.

The days of the third French Re-
public are rapidly drawing to
close. The Dreyfus affair, with its
many accompanying scandals, has
shaken the French Republic from
center to circumference, and now
it is we'll known fact that some of
the greatest enemies of the French
Republic are plotting for it's de-
struction.
France has made her army super
ior to her civil power, and the pas
sions of the French people have
been aroused so strongly against a
revision of the Dreyfus case, that
when it comes, as the Court of Cas-
sation is almost sure to order, the
Republic will probably come to an
end, and an Empire will again be
set in motion-an Empire of military
rule.
To-day it is practically conceded
that nothing protects the Republic,
except the hesitations of the Bona
parte princes, and the entire abb
sence in the army of resolute chief
without a German name. But such
a man is almost sure to be found.
Whether theaend of this third Re-
public will bring in another COM
mune like the end of the last CEN
fury witnessed, remains to be seen.

partaking Of the holiday hilarity,
compels Redwood county to rebuild
the bridge when rebuilding is nee
essary. It merely provides for
keeping in repair.
But enough said. At the meeting
of the Redwood county commission
ers last week $50 was appropri-
ated for the commencement for a
new bridge across the Minnesota,
north of North Redwood. It will
be new steel bridge, and will be
built to stand. The action disposes
of the bridge trouble between these
two counties, and leaves Renville
county to assist in building the
North Redwood bridge, or build
the Sacred Heart bridge alone, or
enjoy the praises of their constitu-
ents in that section.
