FALSCUOUOS O PHKSS' COIN
AGE.
The S Cloud Press, in the interest
of the Land Offioe Bine: whioh tailed
•o signally in its efforts to orosh Judge
MoKelvy, indulged lest week io a num-
ber of falsehoods—to use a word some
what longer than is actually necessary—
oonoeraing Judge BloKelvy end the
editor of this paper. W will notioe
one or two oi them as briefly as possi
ble:
Thai Judge MoK.lry "emphatically de
elined to be a eandidate, not for re-nomi.
natiao only, bat btforo the people for re
election."
fie did nothing of the kind. To
show just what he did any, we quote
all of his letter that touched on his
declination
"I here for aome time doaired to return
to the practice of my profession and have
concluded that this ia as auapieioua a time
to do so as will ever occur to me, I am,
therefore, not a candidate for the position
of Judge of thia District at the ensuing
election."
As we have already stated, Judge
fitoKelvy felt that this took him en
tirely out of the field, and he said to
all that ho was not a candidate but
there was nothing in his letter whioh
oould, by any possible construction,
prevent his aoospting a nomination if
tendered him—a oontingenoy, however,
thai occurred neither to him nor his
friends hero.
That after the publication of this letter,
the "friends of I JOUVAI. began to
whisper to the outskirts of the Distriot such
flat nonsense as that Collins waa the can
didate of the 'King.'
So far as the above may refer to the
editor of this paper or to any of his
friends, of whose actions he has sny
knowledge, it is wholly untrue. But,
a number of weeks before the publica-
tion of this letter, and when it was
generally understood throughout the
District that Judge McEelvy would be
the nominee of the Republican Con-
vention for re-election, this Ring an
nounced publicly its intention to make
a fight on him end to spare no efforts
to compass his defest. Capt. Collins
was approached by H. Gordon and
others belonging to the combination
with the tender of their support as a
candidate in opposition to Judge Me-
Kelvy. declined to assent without
first having an understanding with
Judge MeKelvy. During the time
that intervened between this and the
publication of the letter of with
drawal, the Ring made declarations as
to the blackguard character of the war
it had resolved upon in oase the Judge
should remain in the field ss a candi-
date, end the Sauk Rapids Sentinel,
oontroled by C. A (jrilman, made, by
inuendo, a low and vile attack upon
him. Whether these influences affect*
od in any way Judge MoKelvy's de
cision we have not the means of know-
ing. That we escorted that he was
"foreed" by the Ring to withdraw, as
fa stated by the Press, is absolutely
false, ss will be readily shown by the
following extract from an artiolo in the
Fergus Falls Advocate, whose editor
was a delegate to the Judioial Conven
tion and supported Cspt. Collins
'•Reports havo bean widely circulated
along the line of the Northern Pacific, and
ia the northern pari of the District that an
undue and improper influence had bean
brought to bear upon Judge MeKelvy to
crowd him off the traek, and that his latter
of withdrawal was-not wholly of his own
free wilL This we were assured by the
gentleman who addressed him the note, and
who now is and always has been a warm
personal friend of the Judge's, so far as he
is acquainted with the circumstances, is a
mistake."
"But," as the editor of the Advo
cate frankly adds,
"It is true, and, it is not denied by
the parties, thai certain members of the
bar were dissatisfied and proposed to run
mother candidate. Judge MeKelvy, hear
ing this, proposed net to enter into a per.
senal flght ia his awn oonnty, and avoided
it by withdrawal. Up to the night before
the convention Ike Judge assured delegates
sailing on aim that he waa not a candidate,
but would accept if the nomination was
tendered him."
These threats and this proposed
"personal fight" were known through
oat the District before the publication
of the letter of withdrawal, and did
muoh to rouse Judge MoKelvy's friends
in tho outside counties to an aotive de-
termination to nominate him in spite of
his declination. And it was the knowl
edge of theso.tbiogs that caused Capt.
Collins to be considered, though doubt-
less without any desiro on his part, the
•aadidste of this Ring. While be was
held in the most friendly consideration
on the part of the delegates, it was his
misfortune to stand as the eandidste of
and to be championed by men whom
tho people of the Distriot had resolved
to rebuke. The Dulnth Minnesotian
expresses tho general sentiment when
it ssys:
'•We deem this nomination a triumph of
the popular voice over the machinations of
a political Ring, who had promised the po
aitiM. to another gentleman, who, under
ear ether eiroumetaaces, might have been
endorsed by the people."
Tho wholo thing may be condensed
into three points:
1st. Messrs. Gordon, Gilman,Wsite,
West ft Co. undertook to defeat Judge
MoKalvy.
2d. Tbey made a miserable failure.
8d. They feel bad about it.

Tho great demand of the present day
in this country, and especially in the
West, is for some oheaper means for
transporting the prodnots ot the West
to the sea than are any now available.
Many schemes have been proposed,
the latest of which oomee from the
South. It is known as the Fort St.
Philip Oaual project, and is, substan
tially, at follows: A a point about
eight miles below New Orleans is a nar-
row nook of land whioh divides tho
main ohannel of the Mississippi river
from Breton Island Sound. On that
nook is located Fort St. Philip, a mas.
siva struoture whioh ia standing testi
mony that a firm foundation can be
had tor tho proposed oanaL, A few
miles east of this narrow barrier a har
bor, whioh it is intended to reaoh,
opens due oast, with a clear and unob
structed way to tho high sea, having
an even and increasing depth all tho
way out, varying from about 80 feet,
until all soundings are lost. The
depth of the harbor itself varies in the
mainline from 30 to 36 feet. The
anohorage or holding eround, whioh is
six miles long and two miles wide, with
en aversge depth of 35 feet, is a ssfe
and permanent one. In this small gulf
or harbor oaonot be found a rock, a
reef, or en islet. Vessels will come in
to this harbor directly from the high
sea without requiring the aid of pilots,
tor the lighthouse on Breton island
and that on the pier of the oanal will
point out the entrance to the oanal.
The distance through this neck of
land, from the deep soundings of. the
river to the deep soundings of the
sea, is about seven miles, and it ia pro
posed to out through this a ship oanal
of sufficient width and depth to allow
tho passage of the largest ocean steam
ers, without whioh the minimum rates
of freight are unattainable. Io
constructing this oanal two locks will
bo required, one to overcome the dif
ference in level between the river and
the Gulf tho other to close tho oa-
nal at its outer end during the continu
ance of hurrioaoee.
The Now Orleans Times closes
an elaborate artiole in whioh the
feasibility of the scheme is disowned,
and from whioh we obtain the main
points of the foregoing, with this san-
guine prophecy:
••Build the oanal and we shall hear no
more of farmers converting their corn in
to fuel no more ot Grange movements no
more of depressed industry no more of
unprofitable production. The great dream
of the West will be realized, and her
mighty oommeroe will float on every sea
and fill every harbor of the world.''
HE Chicago Tribune of Thursday
published special dispatches from over
a hundred different points relative to
the condition and prospects of the corn
crop. Commenting on them it said:
They will be found to embraee reports
from almost every county in the great
corn belt through the States of Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas, of whioh Chioago is the
primary market. It will be seen that
there is a general coincidence in the state
ment that corn has suffered severely from
the drouth, and that the yield will be con
siderably below the average. .-
A Chioago dispatoh of Friday says:
There will not be more than half a crop
of corn and potatoes in Illinois and Kan
sas. Iowa has about half a crop of pota
toes and about three-quarters of a corn
crop.
O UE exchanges in different parts of
the State continue to bring reports of
the operations of the three-card monte
men. They generally board railway
trains, and, after fleecing harvest hands,
oountrymen and ether inexperienced
persons of from $25 to $100 each, get
oft at some small station, to repeat
their game on tbe next train-load of
passengers. Gambling on the oars is
an outrage against public decenoy, and
the railway officials should at onoe
make every effort to put a stop to it.
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS
denies that it is the intention of tbe
government to abandon the Credit Mo
bilier suits. They are to be energetic
ally prosecuted, and the counsel.are
confident of a successful issue. The
publiowillbe glsd to learn that the
contrary reports are unfounded. The
people's confidence in the laws and the
courts that administer them will be
sadly impaired if it ie found that they
oannot enforce restitution of the enor-
mous sums appropriated by the Credit
Mobilier swindlers.
As Dr. Thayer, late Medical Direotor
of tbe Northern Paoifio railroad, has
determined to return to his homo in
Vermont, a number ot his friends in
this State raised 12,000, with whioh
they purchased a span of handsome
horses, with harnesses, carriage, lap
robes, beaver overcoat, blankets, whip,
etc., whioh were presented to him on
Friday.

VSUB COUNTY FAIR
Wo trust no one has forgotton tho

It can be, with a good margin beside,

of the oonnty will do its full share

result. St Cloud and this end of tho
county should not be hggard. Let
us all pull together and make a No. 1
fair.
I N discussing ths business outlook,
the Chiosgo Inter'Ocean says that the
lesson whioh the American people
must now learn is that of ooonomy.
They were never remarkable for their
frugality, and the abundance of mon
ey and inflation of prices brought
about by the war led people into a
life of extravagsnoe whioh nothing but
neoessity oould oheck. If, then, tbe
hard times whioh we have experienced
during the past year have helped to
ohange the style of living, and mske
people more sensible and economical,
the inconvenience has been a blessing
instead of a curse. That this has been
the effeot is proved by the sales ot
merohants and by the decreased amount
of importations. Tho enormous aggre
gate of our foreign imports for a num
ber of years has kept the oountry con-
stantly and deeply in debt and al
though this state of things must
doubtless continue in a degree, it is
cheering to see such a decided tailing
off in the consumption of foreign arti
cles as the figures now indioate.

THM Spanish government appears: to
be getting very muoh in earnest. A
Madrid dispatoh of Monday aaya tho
President has determined to make one
supreme effort to crush tho Carlist in-.
surreotion. has deoided to call in
to aotive service 100,000 of the army
reserve, and 500,000 of the militia.—
He believes with this foroo it will be
possible to establish order in the ooun
try before spring. The number of
Carlist insurgents, notwithstanding
their success, has been considerably re
duced lately, and they are not now ca-
pable of engaging in even an unimport
ant skirmish.
A YOUNO man named Charles Din
ter, Detroit, while drunk threatened
to kill his father, and pioked up a
briek to hnrl at him. raised his
arm, when the motion threw him back-
ward so that he fell upon the sidewalk,
striking on his head and breaking his
neek. Death was almost instantane
ous.'
W E did not, itr appears, aehieve
anything very remsrkable during tho
Modoc hostilities. Mr. Dyer, one of
the Peace Commissioners, says our sol-
diers only killed four Modocs while the
Modocs killed two soldiers for each Mo
doo engaged in the war.
—"Bellehood and Bondage" is the
taking title of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens'
new Society novel, to be published in
a few days by T. B. Peterson & Broth-
ers, Philadelphia, Pa. No one is bet
ter adapted to give us a correct pioturo

popular writer. "Bellehood and Bond-
age" will be issued in a large duodeci
mo volume, uniform with Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens' twenty other works, and will
be for sale at all the bookstores at the
low price of $1.75 in cloth, or $1.50
in paper oover or oopies will be sent
by mail, to any place, post-paid, by the
publishers, on receipt of tbe prioe of

—Judge MeKelvy has proved dur
ing bis past term, to be an upright
honorable man, careful to see impartial
and exaot justice meted out to all par
ties brought before him, and is with
out doubt, to-day the most popular man
for the position in the distriot. In
deed so highly was he esteemed, thst
but for his letter of withdrawal he
would have been nominated without
opposition.
In oommon with nearly the wholo
distriot, we feel perfectly satisfied
with the nomination made, and yield
it a cordial and hearty support, feeling
that the judioial interests of our dis«
triet are in safe, capable and experi
enced hands, and that the people will
never have cause to regret their action.
—-Fergus Falls Advocate.
—Judge MeKelvy was our first
choice for a re-nomination, and it was
with sincere regret that we noted his
public deolination. However the peo
pie of the district, animated by a most
wonderfully unanimous feeling that he
was the man for the position, deter-
mined to place him in nomination any
how—and do it they did.—Detroit

—The Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs has instructed the Indian agent at
Rio Grande Agenoy, to demand of tho
Sioux the return of property captured
from the massacred Pawnees and to in
form tbem that by this sitaok they
violated their treaty obligations,
and will be no more allowed to hunt
buffalo outside their reservation.
—Bountiful harvests this year are
not confined to the grain growing
States. By late advioes it appears
that the cotton orop of tho South prom
ises a yield equal to if not above the
average. The total amount of the
orop is estimated at from four to four
and a half million bales, thus showing
that the South onoe mora oooupies
the front rank it a producer of this

DITXOIT, Ifton., Sep. 5, 1878.
EPITOB O N A he Detroit
Tribune reoently highly complimented
Hon, C. K. Davis, Republican candi
date for Governor of Minnesota. Capt
Davis is not unknown in Michigan,
having graduated with honor at the
State University at Ann Arbor in
1857,. Levi T. Griffin and Brvin Pal-
mer, prominent members of the Detroit
ba^ worn among his classmates. A
present I do not trouble myself about
polities, yst 1 believe the fanners of
Minnesota have real grievances against
the corporations whioh Cspt. Davis
aimed his arrows at in hia lecture on
"Modern Feudalism," and therefore I
think, without regard to partisan poll
tlot, that Capt. Davis will make a safe
Governor for fbo people of tho North
Star State. When you get as far east
as Detroit the farmers are not at the
meroy of the railroad oompaaies, ss
there is too mneh competition, by rail
had by steamer, to admit of the robbery
practiced further west.

rious fact that any class of intelligent
men oah enjoy such a life when con

O W TO OBTAIN GOOD PRICKS FO
W E A
The present depression in the price
of wheat is simply the consequence of
an undue accumulation of grain at tbe
lake ports. Farmers have been rush
ing their produoe into Chioago and
Milwaukee faster than the lake ton-
nage and eastern lines of railroads can
take it out. The result is a glut at
those centres, and consequent low
prices. That this is true, is shown by
tho fact that there is to-day a shipping
margin of 13 oeots per bushel between
Chioago and New York, notwithstand
ing the high freights. The Liverpool
market is firm and constantly advanc
ing. The prinoipal accumulating
points for grain throughout Europe are
bare of stooks. The English orop is
twenty per cent, below the average.
France, instead of having a surplus for
export, as sbo had last year, must
actually import to supply her wants for
consumption, while Russia, the great
exporting oountry of Europe, has bare
ly an average wheat orop. I view of
these facts, it is probable that the sur
plus wheat orop of Ameriea, largo as it
is, will all be needed ahead before next
harvest, and if farmers can manage to
cart the property to market only as it
is needed, they can easily obtain good
prions for it. The danger is in rash
ing it all to- market in a body, pro
ducing a glut on the lake ports, and
consequent' depression. Farmers do
not bo in too much of a burry to mar
ket your grain.
—The wheat raised throughout the
Northwest this summer is of finer qual
ity than usual, but the yield per acre
has also been much larger, and the
farmers will be well paid for it at an
average of $1 per bushel at the railroad
stations in Illinois snd Wisconsin, and
say 90 cents in Minnesota and Iowa.
While it is to tho interest of every
Western man, whether in the cities or
oountry, that the farmers should get
the highest possible prioe for their
crops of wheat, prudence would dic
tate that if farmers can gst about the
prices above named tbey had better sell
at once.— Chicago Tribune.

came. I searched the scriptures horn

plenty of promises to the widder, hat

took it that the Lord didn't waste
sympathy on a man when it was in his
power to comfort himself and having
a first-rate chance to marry in the
Lord, I did so again. Besides, breth-
ren, I considered that poor Betsy was
just as dead as she would ever be."
