THE ELECTION LAW DECISION.
Speculation as to the Result-An Opinion
to be Obtained Relative to Omitting

Speculation as to the Result-An Opinion
to be Obtained Relative to Omitting
the Numbering.
The decision Of the judges of the district
court, in the Brisbin election case, has given
effect it has or may have upon the APP
preaching election. The matter was
subject of animated and general
convers ition on the streets yesterday. This
peculiar feature was noticeable, every coterie
| came to different conclusion, with several
slight individual differences IN each gather
ing. A GLOBE reporter swallowed all that
was SAID, took big draught Of wind, went
without his dinner, and spent no time in
seeking the fountain head of information on
the subject. Messrs. Murray and Brisbin
! were accidentally found together. In an in
formal way it was learned that the defend
ants IN the crse are gong to
appeal from the decision as rem
dered. The impossibil,ty of getting
1t before the supreme court, and decision
| thereon before election, was admitted. From
the colloquial arguments offered pro and con,
the opinion is given as fact, that the decis
ION as 1t now stands does not affect the pres
ent special election law under which cleo
tons are held in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
at all other places the general election law
appiles But in view of the unanimous
opinion of the district judges upon the ILL.,
gality and unconstitutionality of "marking
or numbering the ballots when deposited"
1t is proposed to have consultation of the
lawyers engaged in the case, the county at
torney and other prominent members of the
bar, to consider the advisability of emitting
the marking of ballots at the approaching
election. Due notice will be given of the
result of this proposed cons citation.
There having been one hole of large di-
mansions made in the special act of 1878,
other people are attempting to puncture it,
SO that it will not hold water at all.
The latest drive is that the general election
law prescribe one place and the special law
another for voting for the same county Of
fcer. It is held that the constitutional
phi eye of franchise can not be abridged,
or have different conditions imposed
upon the exercise of it, within the sane ju-
rlsdiction. This point, though casually pre-
sented before the district court, was ignored
in the opinion written by Judge Brill, and
concurred in by the others. But to insure
safety, the present law had better be ad-
hered to, unless the one recommendation to
omit numbering ballots comes forth full
hedged from the incubation by the bar of
st. Paul, or others in authority upon the le-
gal status of the case.

sPOILING FOR 4 FIeHE.

Affairs in Europe appear to be getting
more complicated daily. Russia still holds
a long line of defenses which, by the terms
of the treaty of Berlin, she was required to
abandon, and bases her refusal to quit them
upon the unsettled status of the Christian
refugees that are following her army of re-
treat. and the uncertainty that they will re-
ceive protection from Turkey and her late
dependent states. In consequence of this
stand, Turkey has again begun massing her
army at the frontier Notifications, and the
British feet has been ordered to remain in
the vic nifty of Gallipol. The surrender of
Bessarabia to Russia, which took place on
Monday, completes Turkeys obligations to
the car, and aside from the arrangement of
a few details as to Eastern Roumelia, Bos-
MIA, and Greece, nothing remains for her to
do in compliance with the treaty. ALI the
o.her powers save Russia have taken posses
sion of their portion of the spoils. But
Russia. on one pretext or another, still holds
out. A few weeks ago she excused her delay
in evacuabing Bulgaria by the plea that she
was negotiating for a right of way for her
troops across Eastern Roumelia. Then she
professed to regard the presence of British
vessels of war in the Dardanelles as men
ace; then she thought the massacre of Me-
hemet Ali in Albania required the presence
of her army; now her old anxiety for the
safety of the Christians has returned, and she
announces that until their protection is guar
anteed she will not bulge. The duty of
taeir protection, however, was not committed
to the Russian army. It was assumed by all
the powers, Turkey included, and was ons of
the conditions upon which autonomy was
granted to Roumania, Roumelia, and Bull
garia, and Independence to Servia and Mon
tenegro.
The truth of the matter is-and every
close observer of passing events must have
remarked it-ttat Russia is anxious
for a pretext for renewal
of the war. From time immemo-
rial the Romanof dynasty has laid
covetous eyes upon Constantinople. They
have had the desire of making Russia great
naval power. In order to accomplish that
purpose she must have control of the Bos-
phorus, the Sea of Marmora, and the Darda-
nelles. To secure these outlets from the
Black Sea shells willing to sacrifice all else.
Treaties are of no binding force upon her,
and although she solemnly coyenanted to
abide by the decision of the Berlin congress,
she is ready thus soon to break her faith.
This was recognized by Sir Stafford North
cote in a speech at Wolverhampton on Tues
day, and it has been recognized by all the
other nations SO far as to lead to prepare
tions for an early renewal of the conflict.
But it is not probable that hostilities will be
commenced till the close of the winter now
upon US. The winters of Turkey are terri
bly, destructive to human life in the tented
field, and none of the governments interested
will be apt to hazard the efficiency of their
armies by undertaking campaign in such

crown and the Vatican to terminate religions
prosecutions in that country. It declares
that SO long as the Ultramontane party in
the reichstag forms center around which all
elements blindly hostile to the institution of
the empire and Prussia group themselves,
every attempt to terminate kulturkampf by
a peaceable understanding must remain
fiuitless notwithstanding the best of inten-
tons on the part of the Vatican. The poll
cy of the Ultramontanes is certainly short
sighted, and this hint ought to give them
better judgment.

THE Chicago Tribune, owned in part by

The Chicago Tribune, owned in part by
one of the brothers of the chief of the Min
nesota wheat Shylocks, says:
From the way the st. Paul DAILY GLOBE
froths at the mouth. we infer that Washburn is
making very successful campaign of it for
Congress against the mountebank blatherskite,
lgnatius Donnelly. The latter is a sort of a
foot-sore political tramp, who has become a
public nuisance that ought to be suppressed by
the board of health.
Washburn's successful campaign con-
sists in purchasing voters outright with
money out of which he defrauded his credit
ors, the profits of the pine land ring, and
what he has extorted from the farmers
through cheating them in the grades of their
wheat. The s'foot-sore political tramp" is
fighting the battles of the farmers. and it
will take more than board of health to
suppress him, armed as he is by such effective

Serious Accident.

The yard-master of the st. Paul & Pacific
railroad, Harry Dyer, met with very pain
full and serious accident, late yesterday even
ing. He was running across the yard to adj
just switch for an incoming engine, when
he fell. On attempting to get up, he found
he was unable to use his left leg. For a
time he thought it nothing more than tenn
porary sprain, but the pain becoming so Sc
we're, he gave up and was taken to his home,
corner of st. Peter and Fifth streets. DR..
Murphy was called in to attend to him. He
found, on examination, that Dyer had broken
his left leg just above the knee joint, and ac-
counted for it,, on the superstition that in
falling, Dyer had struck his leg against the
end of a tie or the rail. The injury will
keep Mr.. Dyer in bed for several weeks.

AMONG the many heroes brought to the

the South, none is deserving of higher praise
than DR.. Luke P. Blackburn, of Louisville.
When the disease first made its appearance
he surrendered his large practice and fear
lessly went to the front, where he remained
for nearly ninety days laboring in the hospi-
tails and pest-houses and from door to door
for the relief of the infected citizens. He
has apparently known no fatigue. Where
the fever ragged the worst he was to be found,
administering comfort and consolation to
white and black, rich and poor alike. His
name will be revered by all who have been
witnesses of his self sacrificing labors, long
after he has gone home to his reward. This
is the man against whom, in. the closing days
of the war, the slanderous charges of ship
ping fever-infected clothing to the North
was made. No completer refutation of the
infamous lie could be given thar his own
self-exposure to the plague in the trying
times of 1873 and 1878.
