Mr. Mof}ill was made governor of
Minnesota !y a "scratch," and in
return he gives the public the best
most liberal and just message they
ever got. He discusses live issues—
things the people want looked up.
Chicago Journal: The "Declin.
of Chicago," about which the St
Louis papers love to speak, was rep
resented the past year by the erec
tion of ten miles of new buildings
at a cost of $20,000,000, with a fourth
as much more in the suburbs.
Republican: The aberdeen Daily
News is not intoxicated with joy
over tho appointment of Judge
Spencer, and tvarbles thusly: "An
other importation is sent out by the
satrap of^tlie nation to administer
justice to a people under the yoke
orserfdoui."
.The Cass county Farmers' Alli
ance in session the other day recom
mended that the legislature reduce
the rate of interest to 10 per cent.,
making attorneys1 fees in mort
gages illegal, and recommending the
extension of the time when taxes
become delinquent to June 1st.
Wish is very generally expressed
that yme member will see to it that
chattel mortgage foreclosures be
published in newspapers. It is a
great mhjfortue and a damage to the
country to sell a poor man's encum
bered property for a fourth or a
thi^l olr what it is worth, without a
reasonable effort to do better.
Thomas Ilolms, who a little time
since was counted among the ver-
satile and lively newspaper men of
Fargo and subsequently driftin
away to St. Paul, has returned
the territory and will represent1
The St. Paul Globe at Bismarck
during the present session of the
legislature. Tom will get the news.
The New York Life Insurance
company of New York has decided
to put in a branch house at St. Paul
in the spring, and invest money in
the Northwest. The loan agency
which is to form the leading feature
in the northwestern business repre
sents 866,000,000. The building in
contemplation will be a palatial
affair.
The usual New Year's ceremonies
in the jail at St. Paul, called out
The Globe thusly "Frank J. Mead
and J. D. Martin, both of whom are
charged with murder, were not to
be seen among the prisoners. Both
sat up stairs and were apparently
in no mood to participate in such
an entertainment. Both appeared
to be in very low spirits."
About the most enjoyable social
affairs are those gotten up by old set
tlers in certain localities, and called

making it a crime for public officials
to accept a railroad pass giving
the women the right of suffrage

of money at elections, making the
penalty heavy either for tho act or

to prevent the manufacture, sale or
importation of adulterated liquors,
under heavy penalty taxes to fall
delinquent the first ol' Juno instead
of February the publication of all
laws passed in the territorial news
papers of 500 circulation.
In Governor Mctiill's inaugural
address he comes out decidedly
against public officials accepting
railroad passes, and about the same
time Mr. Donneliy offers a bill in
the Minnesota legislature to pro
hibit such officials from accepting
these favors. At present the state
pays the mileage of its law-makers
to and from the capital, not allow
ing, however, for more than the one
trip, but Mr. Donnelly proposes to
offer a bill allowing for more than
one trip, to apply to cases where
members' interests call them home
during the session, so that this fea
ture may be overcome in good order.
It is a fact that a member of a given
legislature not only travels to and
from his public duties, but be uses
passes the two years round, and for
the time he is a member on his own
private and pleasurable affairs—
goes and comes when he pleases.
Not only .this, many of them get
passes for others. Not only these
facts, but members often get passes
all over the country, from one road
to another, and go across the conti
nent—all on aecount of this legis
lative membership and the good he
may be to the railroad interests. Of
course he does not get these promis
cuous passes on the start, but by
applying to his company the latter
works the pass business. Now no
one need say or expect intelligent
people to believe that such things
are possible and still leave the agent
of the dear people untrammeled.
This favoritism without reward is
outside of human nature and it can
not be done. We notice The
Globe and Evening Journal are

that it is making our public ser
vants out to be little less than crim

insulting them by legislating to
hold them to natural integrity. But

that there was money in so

gold, and they work the best way to
get it, and there's no doubt about it.

J. D. Martin, on trial charged
with the murder of "Buck" Moore at
the stock yards, St. Paul, the eve
ning of the 12th of last March, was
acquitted. Every circumstance
seemed to point conclusively to the
man's guilt—even his demeanor and
every thing connected with the
case, up to the time he put on the
overalls thought to have been worn
by the murderer—and they having
been identified as having been pur
chased in Minneapolis the day be
fore by Martin,—and finding that
they did not fit raised the first ques
tion oi&doubt in the matter. On
top oHnis the lawyer called atten
tion to the fact that Mrs. Martin
came from Iowa and actually starv
ed to death trying to save a scanty
bit of money with which to defend
her husband, her last breath being
"innocent, innocent," dying at a
hospital with her manacled hus
band trying to comfort her. And
again the lawyer picturing iheir
little child an orphan in event of
a verdict of guilty, got most of the
jury crying and then left them.
They were out four hours and re
turned "not guilty." Mrs. Martin
was undoubtedly a noble-hearted
woman, but we have no use for
Martin. It looks like he cowardly
murdered his unsuspecting frieud,
and was the cause of the death of
BUW vauo„ ulo ui:aui OI
served. That is the way it looks to
us.
It is reported at Washington that
Special Agent Bowers of this terri
tory is making great progress in
ferreting out the cattle barons of
the plains, men who go and fence in
large tracts of territory without
authority and undertake to drive
out and keep away legitimate
stockmen. This office was cre
ated last winter, and although it in
cludes all land laws, Secretary
Lamar says Bowers is doingasplen
work.
The Grand Forks Plaindealer
makes bold to say that "Dakota
knows Donnely's politics and don't
want him.at the suggestion of the
Evening Journal that Donnelly
might go to Dakota. Now we want
to suggest to the Plaindealer that
if Minnesota and Dakota contained
more men like Donnelly public mat
ters would be better shape. Don
nelly is a scholar and a gentleman
with brains and he is a friend of
the people. These facts cannot be
successfully contradicted.
One of the most interesting
newspapers that conies to our table
is the Bismarck weekly Tribune,
and now that the legislature con
venes to-rlay we assure our friends
and the public that no representa
tive citizen could better expend 75c
than for this weekly for the next
three months. Or if the daily is
wanted it will be sent for a dollar
per month. The daily is a sprighty
little sheet containing the associated
press, which together with the legis
lative news will make it very enter
taining now for nearly three months.
An address The Tribune, Bismarck,
will do the work.
Thursday evening of last week
the republican members of the Min
nesota legislature held a caucus and
unanimously nominated the Hon
C. K. Davis for the U. S. senate. It
is noticed that one senator, M.
Daniels, whoever that is, made the
nominating speech, and we give
you our opinion that had Mr. Davis
been a weak man, or had there been
any considerable opposition to bim,
Daniel's speech or "nomination"
would have killed him deadl He
got off a lot of old dry rot that the
people are sick and tired of. It was
the sort of "statesmanship" usually
displayed by "gone to seed" repub
licans, all of which the people
have outlived. Two or three
others had a little some
thing to say, while Donnelly
was being continually called for,
and this gentleman finally took the
floor, and is universally reported by
friends and enemies as making one
of the finest orations ever heard on
an occasion like this. Mr. Donnelly
had worked for Davis for months—
was full of Davis—and he brought
down the house as it was there never
done before. Mr. Davis is an
able, elean, eminently fair and hon
orable man, and will, undoubtedly,
serve his people in an acceptable
manner.
A Senatorial Rob*.
In speaking of Mr. Donnelly's ac
tion with the republican caucus and
the nomination of C. K. Davis for
the senate the St. Paul Globe said:
When they saw him coming afar
off the republican members of the
legislature ran out to meet him and
fell upon his neck and embraced
him. And the whole outAt lifted
up their voices and wept for joy.
There was no calf in any of the
stalls half fat enough, and no pur
ple robes in the legislative ward
robe half fine enough to do honor to
the occasion. There wasn't any
thing in the whole republican earth
at that time half good enough for
the returned prodigal. So they
promised to put a calf in the pen
and have it fattened for his benefit
two years hence, and they gave
orders that a robe of senatorial pur
ple of exceeding fineness should be
woven with which he might be clad
when Sabin's term expired. The
returned prodigal was satisfied with
these promies, and sat himself down
at the head of the festal board and
began to order the servants around,
just as if be had always been boss of
the establishment. In the mean
time some of the elder brethren,
who had borne the heat an& burthen
of ethe day —while Donnelly had
been off on his political picnic—
were standing around with their
fingers in their mouths, wondering
if it didn't pay better to be a rene
gade than a faithful disciple. Thus
endeth the first chapter. Selah.
No one knows better than The
Globe that had not the democratic
bosses fired Donnelly out of the
democratic vanks, he would have
been tlmo today, and that Dr.
Ames would have been governor of
that slate. Xo fair minded man
blames Donnelly for what ho has
done—or what he is today doing.
Donnelly is at heart a friend of
public justice and if he tries to hon
orably do something for himself at
the same time, none but a knave
would blame him for it. Of course
The Globe's "drive" and pleasantry
at the expense of the republican
party is understood and highly ap
preciated.
