STEVENS SEMINARY.

An Old Grant of Swamp Lands in Mcleod
County About to be Made Available--Brief
Sketch of the Grant.
In 1861 the legislature made grant of
swamp lands for the location and erection in
Mcleod county of State Agricultural Col
lege. Afterwards, when the whole theory in
reference to the scope, location and establish
ment of our Agricultural College was chang
ed, the above named grant was, in 1868,
transferred to the Stevens Seminary, named
after Col. John a. Stevens of Minneapolis,
on condition that private citizens contribute
means sufficient to erect building worth
not loss than $4,000. For this, two years
later, in 1870, the time was extended, and
now the conditions having been complied
with, the Seminary comes forward and asks
the Governor to carry out the pro-
visions of the law by giving deed Of
the same. By the provisions of the act of
1868 for the trahfer of Stevens Seminary,
the land was transferred to the county Com
missioners of Mcleod county in trust for
the benefit of the institution named. The
grant amounts to some forty-six hundred
acres, and will probably be transferred in a
few days to the claimants, as the Governor
has submitted the question to ATTORNEY Gen
eral Wilson to see that the conditions of
the grant have been complied with, and will
upon that officers recommendation execute
the requisite deed. This being one of the
Oldest swamp land grants in the State, there
is no difficulty in ascertaining its location OF
affecting the title of the Seminary thereto.

1t is a singular comment on the attempt
of Republican Christian states men in Ram
sey comfy to fasten all frauds or attempted
frauds ever committed here in cleo
tons, on Democrats Gt is a sim
gular comment, we say that for fifteen years
the Republicans have divided the Offices and
taken share at every election, notwith-
standing Ramsey county has reliable
Democratic majority of one thousand. Who
will or can dispute this? Is not Ramsey
county Democratic county? See
the vote in every State and
national election, see the vote when w. s.
King was candidate for Congress, and when
the county was thoroughly canvassed. Now
with Democratic majority of one thousand,
at least, who is to profit and who has profted
by the so-called frauds? It is charged that
the fraudulent votes were put on the poll list
last fall by Democrats, and yet every Repub-
lican county officer, with one OF two excep-
tions, was elected, and four members of the
Legislature. hpreceding years Republicans
have worked with the worst elements of

JUDGE sHERMAN PAGE.

Action of the House judiciary Committee
Ycstertlay--The Counsel For the PARTIES
Case Set for the 3 1st--Page Means to Fight
It Out.
The House Committee on the Judiciary
met at the Capitol yesterday morning at 9
o'clock to hold preliminary consultation as
to the course to be pursued by them in the
Page impeachment matter. Judge E. G.
Stacey and John A. Lovely, Esq, of Albert
Lea, appeared for Judge Page, and Messrs.
Gilman, Clough & Lane, of this city, for the
petitioners.
Judge Pages attorneys stated to the Com
mittee that their clients character was above
reproach, and that he was willing and anx-
ious that the charges against him should be
fully, fairly and thoroughly investigated.
They also asked permission to be
present by counsel and to
examine witnesses, which request
was readily granted-the committee
passing resolution that both parties appear
by attorney, and ordering subpoenas to be
issued for witnesses. The case was then
postponed to the 3lst, at 73O p. NJ, at which
time the ball will be formally set in motion.
In conversation with distinguished Sen
ator yesterday afternoon, the GLOBE repre-
sentative was informed that there would be
no half way work about the matter on Judge
Pages part that he would be here in person
and would fight it out to the bitter end. He
considers himself justified in his course.
The adjoining counties find no fault with
him as judicial officer, and he claims to
have done nothing more or worse in Mower
county than he has done in the other coun-
ties of his district. The present complica-
tons, he claims, are nothing more than a
personal fight upon him which has been go
ing on for ten years. Page, said the Sena-
tor, in conclusion, is the man to make it
lively for them, and he means to do it.

Il BILL rHAr sH0ULD NOT p4ss

II BILL THAT SHOULD NOT PISS.
A bill is pending in both houses of the
Legislature which ought not to receive an
affirmative vote. We refer to the bill ap-
propriating $25,000 for the purpose of send
ing seven commissioners to the Paris Expo
sition. This State wishes to secure immi-
grafton, but it has no money to squander on
a junketing tour to Paris. Though we
doubt whether it is advisable to appropriate
anything for this purpose, there might not
be any very serious opposition to an expendi-
ture of $4,000 to make moderate display
of our grain and accompany it with maps
and printed information relative to the State.
Beyond this there is neither sense or reason,
and even that sum can doubtless be more
judiciously expended. The expenditure of
$25,OOO is wild scheme which should not
be entertained for moment. We have
better ways for using money in these hard
times.
The proper course to pursue would be to
appoint Board of immigration Commits
sioners, composed of the most trustworthy
men in the State, and place whatever sums
the legislature appropriates, in their hands,
to be used as wisdom and prudence would
dictate. Instead of squandering our money
on seven junketing commissioners to Paris,
we should devote it to securing immigration
from the Eastern and Middle States of our
own country. Hundreds of thousands, ow-
ing to business vicissitudes, are ready and
anxious to seek new homes, and $25,OOC
properly expended in our own country
will produce an immigration such as Min.
nesota has never seen. We sin
cerely hope this Paris scheme will be prompt
ly stamped out of existence, and that the
$25,o0O or some other sum will be devoted
to advance our material interests.

THE DEMOCRAIIC CANDIDATE FOE
1880.

Many republican newspapers are exercis-
ing themselves very much over the question
who will be the democratic nominee for
President in 1880. This uneasiness and
anxiety, although natural somewhat, is very
improbable. It matters not at all whether
Mr.. Tilden or Gen. Mcclellan, or Senator
Pendleton, or Bayard or Hendricks, or the
clark horse'' be the nominee, he will be
elected. The last republican President, eth
or de facto OF de j1lre, has been seen in the
United States.
There will be no more electoral commits
sions One national fraud in century is
enough. The experiment. has quite satisfied
the country. Let those anxious souls pos
sess themselves with patience. In 1881, the
country will return to the Constitution I'M
der Democratic President, and the rule of
fraud and carpet bags will be forever ended.

We understand that the Committee who
went to Chicago to ascertain the cause of the
suspension of work on the Midland, and to
enquire into the responsibility of the con-
structors, were unable to arrive at any salts
factory conclusion as to the course the COM
pany intend to pursue. It will, no doubt be
impossible to proceed with the work until a
sum of money can be raised to ease off the
pressing claims, and some of the friends of
the road, state as their belief that the present
company cannot complete the road without
first lquidating their present Indebtedness,
estimated at 100000. Wild rumor places a
variety of constructions on the condition of
things, and future developments will only
tell the true disposition of the enterprise.

ARMY REDUCTION.

A bill is now before the Senate to reduce
the army by retiring all officers at 60 years
of age as is now done in the navy. General
Banning has incorporated this feature in his
"House bill" Both Senate and House bills
have the approval of military committees in
their respective Houses, and we trust our
delegation will support this much needed
measure of reform. Such legislation as this
will go very far to place the army in an eff
fectiye condition, and by making retirement
at 62 compulsory, will relieve the President
of much embarrassment. Judging from the
number of letters that are constantly writ
ten on this subject we infer the majority of
army officers are in favor of Gen. Banning's
bill, and they all express gratitude to him
for the good work.

The German reichstag, or parlia-

ing session. Yesterday the emperor
requested in his opening speech that
the anti-Socialist bill be passed. As
the passage of this bill means the polit-
ical death of the Socialist members.
they will naturally make a most deter
mined opposition. And as the freedom
of German citizens would thereby be
virtually curtailed, they, too, are likely
to kick in the most approved fashion.
A republic, or more liberal monarchy
is bound to come in Germany. The
masses are agitating to acconip pIis..
either. Bismarck seeks 10 destroy the
movement, but even if his favorite bill
passes he will find that he has simply
changed the form of Socialism, and it
will continue to exist until at some
momentous crisis in the government,
it will assert itself with a power that
will have to be either conciliated or
obeyed.

In INDIA it is feared that false step
will precipitate war with Afghanis-
tan, situated on the northwestern from
tier. In this event revolt of the ma
tives may be expected, and possibly
the campaigns of Robert Give and
Warren Hastings will be repeated.
ThiS new trouble is of interest, as it is
nothing more or less than the rivalries
of England and Russia transferred
from Europe to southern Asia. Russia
was the diplomatic aggressor, it having
sent a mission to Cabul, the capital Of
Afghanistan. England has also sent a
mission, and insists upon it remaining
there even by force and arms. As this
is distatseful to Shere Ali Khan, the
British must act with great caution.
Shere Ali believes Russia will back
him, and he is correspondingly un-
pleasant,
