American ports armed vessels intended to
destroy ths English mercantile marine.

QestrOy TINS EngllSh mercantile marine.
With such prospect it behooves Amer
leans to reflect upon the responsibility that
this government would assume by permit
ting the departure of vessels that are called
by courtesy privateers, but are in reality
nothing more or less than pirates. In addi-
ton to the generally accepted laws of ma
tons, the United States have in manner
put themselves under special bonds
to prevent privateering expedi-
lions against friendly powers from
leaving our shores. The treaty of Wash
ington, the arguments before. the court of
arbitration at Geneva, and the acceptance Of
fifteen million dollars from England as COM
pensation for the losses imposed upon Amer
leans by Anglo-C Confederate privateers, are
the component parts of the bonds in which
we have pledged ourselves. 1t would, no
doubt, be very pleasant thing to see the
'smeteor flag" rapidly disappearing from the
ocean, while the stars and stripes cleaned
over the waters in all and more
than their old-time frequency. But it
must be remembered that if such desirable
change should be effected through the me-
dunn of ships of war sent forth from our
ports, there would be in store for us most
undesirable day of reckoning. We do not
for an instant assume that any American
would be so dishonest as to suggest that we
should refuse reasonable demand by Eng
land for compensation for damage done her
commerce by American privateers, and leave
her to collect such compensation as she
might. The United States have made the
doctrine of compensation in such cases pc
culiarly and pre- eminently their own, and it
would be base beyond belief to repudiate it as
soon as it was found acting to our own dis
advantage.
1t is likely that any claim for damages that
Great Britain could bring against US would
be very much exceeded by the gain to Amer
lean shipping interests that would ensue
were England's merchant marine seriously
crippled. At the first flush this might seem
an inducement to our government to be Lax
in the exercise of its duties as neutral
power. It must, however, be remembered
that the profit accruing in the manner allud-
ed to would only remotely touch the great
majority of the people of the United States.
The commercial interests would gather in
the bulk of the harvest, and but scanty CLEAN
ings would fall to the share of others. But
when the day of settlement had arrived, then
the money to clear the score would have
to be obtained by taxation levied upon mil
lions of people who had received an
imperceptible benefit, if any, from the OK.
pansion and enrichment of the shipping
interest.
On the whole, the GLOBE thinks that il
would be the part of wisdom for the Ameri
can people to suppress any feelings of desire
for revenge against England, and not to give
much encouragement to would-be piratica
expeditions, and it would be we'll for the
government to use its utmost vigilance tc
nip any such expeditions in the bud.

The Proposed Rife association.
Shakopee Courier.

Shakopee Courier.
In Wednesdays GLOBE an article appears
relative to the formation of a State rifle as
ISOLATION, which we cordially approve, and
from which we quote. We have long since
advocated the organization of clubs for rife
practice, and took part in getting up the
practice club of Shakopee few years ago,
which we believe was the only club in the
State at the time. It was not long-range
club, however, but was devoted principally
to off-hand and mid-range practice. The
expense attending long range shooting, is
considerably more than is necessary for of
hand or short-range, in several respects
particularly that of the range, which will
naturally confne the membership to COM
parative few. However, enough could be OBJ
tanned, no doubt, from different parts of the
State, to make the proposed meeting of Min
nesota marksmen at the State fair, a success.
We shall be pleased to refer to this matter
again in hopes to help the good work on.

IN AMUSING DISCOVERY.

There is sweet complacencY and charm
ing righteousness about the manner in
which the Republicans rebuke McLin and
Dennis, and all the other Republicans who
are coming forward with confessions of the
means by which the vote of Florida was
stolen for Hayes. McIin and Dennis, and
the others, are now suddenly discovered to
be persons of the utmost disrepute. They
are all "bummers,'' dead-beats,' "habitual
drunkards,'' and persons generally unfit for
decent associates. And yet these same men
have, until few days ago, been persons of
no little consideration in Republican circles,
They were quite good enough to be the init
mate associates and counsellors of ex-Gov-
ernor Noyes, the present fraudulent Minister
to France, and of the other ''vis1ting states
men" who assisted in arranging the frauds.
They were quite good enough to be appoint
ed to various positions of importance by Mr.,
Hayes. Concerning Dennis, who is now
described as an utter profigate and aban.
doned fellow, Mr.. Hayes wrote the following
letter:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, April,
16W.-DEAR SIR: I am reliably assured that
L. G. Dennis, of Florida, would make capital
special agent of the treasury. Especially de-
sire that his claims may have your favorable
attention. Sincerely, Il. B. HAYES.
''To Hon. John Sherman, secretary of the
treasury
Mr.. Hayes, it will be noticed, is not speak
ing without information. He is 'reliably
assured etc. McLin was also deemed to be
pretty good sort of man by Ex-Governor
Hayes. The latter appointed him in October
last to the high Office of justice of the
supreme court of New Mexico. And so con-
WINGED was Mr.. Hayes of McLin's fitness for
a judicial position exactly the place for
a GUNNER" ''dead- beat" or "habitual
drunkard''- when the Senate had re-
fused to confirm the nomination, he sent Nc
Lin's name in again, when the Senate recon
vened in December, for the same appoint
ment. McLin did not get the office. but
Mr.. Hayes had shown his cordial goodwill.
It really makes no difference from Dem
ocratic point of view whether McLin and
Dennis and the rest are "bummers,'' ssdead-
beats" and s'habitual drunkards,' or other
wise. The Democrats have said all along
that these men we're scoundrels, and their
private vices are of no consequence in COM
parison with the enor1nity of their public
offences. But it is extremely funny for Re.
publicans to awaken so abruptly to q sense
of tho evil character of their fellow-Repub
licans. If they can stand the revelations
made about McLin, Dennis and their mates
assuredly the Democrats can stand them
The exposure only goes to show what man
ner of men find favor in the Republican
party and with the Republican party's
| fraudulent President.

Strange and Interesting Experience OF a
Blind Man Who Vas lIade to See.
[Goodhue County Republican,
CANNON FALLS, April 23.-My attention
was drawn to an article which appeared in
your last weeks issue, concerning my sight.
I thought statement from me with refer
ence to my seeing would be more satisfac-
tory to you, as well as to the rest of the
friends who may be interested.
It was never possible for me ito recognize
people through the sense of sight, though
could distinguish light from darkness and
had tolerable good idea of color. My vision
was obscured by cataracts. What little light
I did receive came in around the edge of the
cataracts. Those who know me will agree
with me in saying that saw very family, as
seeing persons in twilight.
DR.. Atwood, who performed the operation,
told me the eye had been SO little used that
he feared never could see perfectly. The
essential parts were weakened by disease.
Upon opening the cataract he found it of
not SO hard character as was first supposed.
The intensity of the light was appalling.
My first impressions of objects were any
thing but agreeable. The figures in the car
pet and the pieces of furniture and the
pictures presented such novel appearance
that it was like being introduced into another
world.
found there was want of harmony, in my
case, between the senses of feeling and sight.
fattered myself that could read without
any difficulty, as was acquainted with the
forms of letters through the sense of touch;
but this was mistake.
At first there did not appear to be any re-
semblance in my case between the impress
sion conveyed to the mind by these senses
Seeing an object on the table which l be-
lieved to be a cup, in taking hold of it,
found it was ball of yarn. Objects look
larger to me than they feel. At first every
thing looked so immense and near that il
| seemed to me that would be able to reach
every article in the room without changing
my position.
After the operation the cataract swelled
somewhat. had two operations performed

The Reported Scarlet Fever IN Jefferson
School.
To the Editor of the Daily Globe:
The article in this mornings GLOBE
contains some statements which are likely to
create alarm, without cause, in regard to
scarlet fever; and, also, to do injustice to our
schools. Let us correct some of these state
ments.
In the first place, if pupil refused to
withdraw from the school when requested, it
would be the duty of tho teacher to report
the case to the principal; and it would be
obligatory upon the principal to see that the
child was removed. But there is no neces-
sity for supposing such case. At the JEFF
ferson school, there has been but one pupil
in attendance during the last month from an
infected family, and he left school
more than two weeks ago, before
it was known what the disease was,
and, of course, before any danger of infec-
ton. The only other family residing in
that part of town in which there has been
scarlet fever, has had no children in school
during the last month.
Teachers are expected to use every pre-
caution against contagious diseases, and I
know that this has been done by the teachers
of the Jefferson school. Every lady teacher
in the building has to-day informed me that
she had no case of the disease in question
in her room, and no child from family in
which the disease existed, except in the one
instance given. Yours, &C., III. w. SLACK,
Principal jefferson School.

More Confessions and d1nseMfs Of
the Frauds In Florida.

Washington Telegram Chicago Times.
An important confession is made by Mr..
b!sbee, now waging contest for his seat
with Gen. Findley, Democrat, of the second
Florida district. He says 81 have read
these late affidavits carefully, and hardly
know what to say of them. Some of them
look very bad, especially those covering
the operations in Baker county. I am the
only official of Florida who ever convicted a
man for illegal voting, and I don't
countenance any form of it. In my
opinion all these rejected returns should
have been counted for the Democratic elect
ors, and the effect of that of course, would be
to give the State to Tilden, but you will OBJ
serve that these precinct returns were cast
out by the county canvassing boards, not by
the State board. The latter had only to take
the returns as presented, and could not, in
my opinion, have gone behind them. The
county boards did the business, but those
returns never should have been thrown out.
Tilden certainly had the State on the face of
the returns. In my brief against Findley
concede all this, but still claim that my own
district majority is ample

A. A. Allen, the sheriff of Baker County,

justice Of the peace, and make legal can
vass and return, Coke, who was clerk, desired
Allen to act in the place of Driggers, who
refused to act, but deponent declined to do
so, and Coke and Dorman then proceeded to
make the canvass and return, and sent the
same to the State officers. The canvass and
return was correct. After Coke and Dorman
had made their return the deponent was ap-
preached by Driggers, who said, "Allen,
unless we do something, they (meaning the
Democrats) will beat u.s. Deponent re-
piled:
