HAYES VIsIT TO MINNESOTA.

The newspapers of the country are labor
ing under good deal of misapprehension
relative to the Presidential visit to st. Paul
and his speech at the State Fair. In the
first place it should be borne in mind that
he was accompanied not only by the
blooming "Bill Duke,'' Commissioner of
Agriculture, but also by VIM. Henry Smith.
Smith is collector of the port at CHICAGO.
holding that lucrative office by
Hayes appointment. Smith is also
general agent of the Western Associated
Press and is thus enabled to prove pretty
extensive and far-reaching Boswell for the
Hayes circus. OF course the curiosi y to see
man who occupies the Presidential chair.
no matter how he got there, will draw a
crowd. Hayes was brought to Minnesota as
aspeculation to aid the State Fair, and it
was good one, one which the GLOBE
heartily approves. Six legged pigs
and COWS with heads at both
ends, etc., we're less attractive be-
cause more frequently seen, and consequent
ly the Presidential exhibition was the card of
the fair, unless we may except Rarus.
But the enthusiasm which William Henry
wires through the country exists largely in
imagination and electricity. When the
President passed through our crowded streets
last Thursday, with thirty or forty thousand
to gaze upon him, the cheers were few and
less vigorous than are often heard
at country school house political meeting.
Yesterday morning he stood uncovered
upon his car platform for nearly an hour,
while the usual depot loungers gaped at him
until they were surfeited. No one seemed t,
care TO see him personally, but gazed on him
as they would any curiosity. AS the train
moved off, the cheers were faint, dismal and
in fact discouraging. There was no eenui ne
enthusiasm.
A good many papers are also ridiculine
his statistical speech. It happens though.
that the papers we're supplied with advance
copies of the speech-a speech
which John Sherman evidently wrote
for him. He spoke altogether
different screed, as the stenographic report
OF the GLOBE shows, Hayes name was SIM
ply used to palm off some of Sherman's fig-
ures upon the country, and he was evidently
so nonplussed by the array of statistics that
he didn't know how to read them.

ONE of the most beneficial results of the
legislation of the last Congress is seen in
the new order of things consequent upon
the passage of the bill for the government
of the District of Columbia. At the end of
each quarter the commissioners are required
to make return to the accounting officers
of the treasury of all their expenditures.
This will be accompanied by vouchers, s! ow-
ing exactly how the money was expended.
From the treasury accounting officers these
vouchers, ETC., will 60 to the first controller,
where they will be again closely scrutinized
before final approval. This is an entirely
different method from that in vogue under
the old law. Then the commissioners de-
posted their funds in the treasury and drew
them out by checks on the treasurer, and
were accountable only to Congress. Under
the new bill they cannot exceed the estimates
for the expenses of the District government
which they submit annually to Congress,
and upon which appropriations are based.
This law is naturally not very popular with
the commissioners, who have had absolute
license to expend whatever they saw fit
and for whatever purpose they might desire.
The new law will save the country fully
million of dollars annually, and effectually
prevent any further rings such as cursed the
District while under Boss Shepherds rule,
and it will therefore be popular among the
people,
