WHEN Pirate Sherman was down in New
Orleans, bossing the electoral skuldug-
gerry, he wrote letter to Weber and Amber
son, supervising inspectors of East and West
Feliciana parishes, instructing them to make
out protests against the results in those
parishes. The men hesitated for time, and
when they did obey orders the protests were
received by the State returning board too
late to be legally noticed. They were, how
ever, admitted. In January last woman, a
friend of Mrs. Weber, went to Washington
and made some agreement with Sherman.
by which he came into possession of the
original of his letter. That document had
been photographed, and the Photographic
copy is in Democratic hands in Washington.
It will play an important part when the
committee comes to investigate Sherman.
Thus does photography again assist in the
exposure of crime.

The Republican State convention of Penn
sylvania absolutely ignored the fraudulent
administration in its platform. The contest
on which the political parties are now enter
ing is not merely State affair. It involves
the election of Congressman, and there
never was an election for Congressman
which more closely touched upon judg-
ment in reference to the national admins
tration. Yet here we have the Republicans

entering the canvass without daring to say
a word in favor of the man who was the Re
publican choice for President. A party that
is afraid either to condemn or approve the
public servants which it has raised to power

PIRATE Sherman sends through the associ-
ated press defiance to Democratic investi-
gators of his share in the Louisiana frauds.
Not much acuteress is required to discern
that Sherman is whistling to keep up his
courage. He assumes lamb-lik innocence
and protests his honesty of intention with
vehemence; but he protests too much. He
cannot believe that his share in the Eliza
Pinkston mummery has been forgotten,
and with that great sham in their minds
people will set little store by Pirate Sher,

wish to ..stand high in community

wish to ''stand high" in community
which is "almost unanimous in the be-
lief that Mr.. Belts has done no more than
his plain Duty The testimony before the
Senate committee proves the man Belts to
be murderer, cruel murderer, and any
community which can unanimously Justify
such deed as the murder of Mcdonald
can render no credit to any newspaper by an
endorsement. The GLOBE wishes no higher
praise than denunciation from those who
defend the atrocities at st. Peter.
The following is the testimony of Andrew
Herberg, one of the attendants, who, under
Belts direction, aided in the affair: m
Belts told us to hold him and lay him on a
bench; l held him by his hands and sat across
his body; MIR. Belts and patient named Drew
helped hold him; O'Connor held the soup;
Belts plugged his mouth, the plug slipped out;
Belts was excited and thrust the plug down
his throat, and held him SO fast he couldn't
move anything; could see down his throat; he
told OConnor to pour in the soup; l could
hear his breath gurgle the soup was going
into the wind pipe; felt his strength was go
ing; I said in a whisper, Mr. Belts, he will die;
he said he is only choked; the same moment
let go his head, lifted him up and shook him,
he gesped for breath and died in five minutes;
Mr.. Belts ran for a doctor; he looked at him
and sent for bottle and held it under his nose,
but he did not move; he was we'll and ran
about the ball yelling, before we held him
down to feed him we had all we could do to
hold him: O'Connor told Doctor Bowers
the man died of strangulation; the doctor did
not reply; Bets told me to keep o. Conner shut
UP, SO that he might not talk about this; kept
him in the house day, when the doctor took
him to the other hospital.
We quote the above, that the people out
side of Hospital swag influence may under
stand what is regarded as "plain duty" The
following extract from the testimony of
Belts himself, proves the case against him :
said to Herberg and o. Connor-I have some
| soup and meat give him some; We seated him
down on bench-not laid down; opened his
mouth with stick; OConnor gave him two or
three spoonsful; at the third he seemed faint;
we raised him up but that did not help him;
! said take him into another room; we carried
him in and laid him on bed and went for the
doctor, who stayed with him till he died. which
was about fifecen minutes. I said if that
strangled him glass of water would strangle
| me.
The valiant Belts does not need to hunt
up men who did not see him commit the
outrage in order to secure ':yindication.'
It would be we'll for him to give a little con
sideration to the evidence of those who saw
the murder committed. His own evidence
shows that the man died in fifteen minutes
and that his death was regarded as the
result Of strangulation.
The GLOBE is proud of the fact that til,
defenders of the ignorant and brutal Bets
denounce it. No higher praise could b.
asked than the cersure Of the entire Asylum
gang. We hope never to be guilty of any
thing SO base as to justify their endorsement
of the GLOBE.

BILE statue. You can take hold of his feet,
and, some one else having his head, lift him
up like q stick of wood. His arms are as fast
to his sides as if they we're nailed there. For
eight years after he went to bed he could
move his arms, but the joints finally became
solid bone. They had to feed him with a
spoon. His jaws are as immovable as his
other joints. There is space between his
teeth that is just wide enough to get yictuals
through. In 1869 he became blind. His
mind is sound, and he'll talk all day with

THE "GLOBE" and THE INSANE AST.
LUM BRUTALITY.


Tie St. Peter Tribune, the organ of the
Insane Asylum, is in great glee because re-
ceat St. Peter letter in the GLOBE contained
the following sentences:
Even prominent Democrats here openly assert
that the investigation will amount to nothing
whatever.
That the insane Asylum may have the full
benefit of its defense, we invite especial at
tention to the following comments Of the
Tribune:
This is probably news to the editor of the
GLOBE, and gives it new light. The reporter
who was here during the investigation could
have furnished that paper the same Informal

not now be SO much inclined to see in it great

it's righteousness. The GLOBE would stand
much higher here if it had showed DISPOSE
ton to be fair and honest.
It is the almost unanimous belief here that
Mr.. Belts has done no more than his plain duty,
and to have his name banded about as q
murderer, is something that he does not pro-
pose to submit to, and he is right. The six dis
charged employees who affixed their names to

cruelty, probably did not consider that thew

poses to be indicated.
The GLOBE has known from the very first
that the Insane Asylum ring embraced
Democrats as well as Republicans, and it has
known from tie first that the local senti-
ment in St. Peter, where the one hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars furnished
by the State annually is disbursed was favor
able to the Asylum, and ready to apologize
for any brutality or other delinquencies It
is not for a political purpose that the
GLOBE has denounced the brutal and
murderous pastimes of the Asylum mana gers,
but for the sake of humanity and hoping that
by publicity the barbarous men might be
driven from the places which they SO
shamefully abuse If Democrats choose to
join with Republicans i'll bolstering up the
outrages, in order to secure the patronage of
the Asylum, so much the worse for the
Democrats. The GLOBE will not, on that
account, relax all effort to expose the guilty.

SH4RP PRACTICE BY WASHBURN.
Washburn has won the first blood in the
Congressional contest. He secured, the
meeting of the Republican district commit
tee at Minneapolis yesterday, without allow
ing Stewards friends to have notice in time
for consultation. The committee appears
also to have been fashioned after Washburn' g
own heart, for it selected an early day (July
10th) for the convention, and located it at
Minneapolis. Not only this, but the COM
mittee gave Hennepin county twenty four
delegates, and Ramsey but twelve.
There never was more outrageous advan-
tage taken of man than of the absent
Stewart. Congress is almost certain to re-
main in session until after the day of the
Convention, and in any event Stewart can
not take any personal part in the canvass
while Washburn is devoting his entire time
to the work of supplanting him.
If Stewart and his friends tamely submit
they deserve defeat.

The simple fact is, the Republican party
is accused upon new and startling evidence
of criminal tampering with the presiden-
tial returns in Florida and Louisiana, where
by the will of the people was set aside, and
the Republicans unite to prevent even vote
upon its acceptance. The logic of this &C
ton cannot be disguised; fool can appreci-
ate it. The Republicans, conscious Of their
guilt, are afraid of investigation, a fact that
furnishes the strongest reason why it should
be prosecuted.
