sidered, it is eminently proper that
his fate should be what it is.
He stands forth as the man
who is especially pro6ting by the greatest
crime of the century. He holds position
to which he was not elected, and to obtain
which the preparation of forgery and per-
jury were mere nothings. If not the cham
pion criminal, he stands forth as the repre-
sentative of the champion crime of the age.
All that he can do cannot blot out this fact.
He encouraged the crime by pledging him
self to betray his party if the infamy could
be committed, and he is reaping his reward.
With but little more than one year
of his term expired, he stands forth
without a political following or political
friend. He is colossal monument erected
as warning to those who may be tempted
in the future to profit by fraud. He will
leave the White House generously despised
by men of all parties, and without the re-
spect or confidence of any one. We do not
envy him his remaining three years reign,
at the end of which time he will retire from
public infamy to private contempt.

act, the Northern Pacific is required to build
one hundred miles, thirty-three and one

after, the company is required to build
twenty-five miles at the western, and seventy
miles where it pleases, until the road is com
pleted. From Umatilla west. it is proposed
that the Northern Pacific shall be common

THE IES.lSE HOSPITAL INTESTIGA-


The officers of the Minnesota Hospital for
Insane demand the most rigid examination,
and, we are assured, that the Legislative
Committee are disposed to crafty them.
This will be to the interest of all parties.
Suspicion should never rest upon hospital
for insane. The inmates are completely in
the power and at the mercy
of the managers and officers. They are
separated from relatives and friends who are
often not allowed to see them; they are the
most helpless and unfortunate people on
earth. If theyscomplain. although the COM
plant may originate in the most cruel treat
ment, their very complaints are attributed
to insanity and declared its symptoms.
There within walls closed to the world,
manhood is at the mercy of
man, and virtue with no guardian
save honor. The doors of many hospitals
for insane have, of late years, been opened
wide, and instead of halls Of charity we have
entered charnel houses of sin and cruelty.
This is by no means true only of public hos
pitfalls, but private establishments have been
exposed as vile dens of vice and oppression
There are instances only fit to be heard in
court rooms, and only fit to be written or
the portals of hell.
Charity should be without suspicion. II

ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE.

Crop Prospects More Encouraging, but the
Present Market Depressed and Prices
Lower.
LONDON, March 19.-The Hank Lane Er-
press says: Winter sown wheat, although
somewhat thin on heavy land, is looking
strong and healthy on light soils, and the
prospect for good crop is more promising
than at the corresponding time for some
years, giving promising agricultural out
look.
The large arrivals from abroad, and the
early reopening of navigation in northern
Europe, have exercised very REFRESHING
effect upon the British corn trade, already
deprived of the doubtful support which war
like political appearances furnish, and with
the influences thus combined upon the side
of buyers, lower rates are current for nearly
all varieties of cereals, and the present de-
hveries of English wheat from farmers al
the principal markets have been lighter than
at any corresponding time in ten years past
But in the face of this fact, and the impaired
condition of the grain, consequent upon the
drier atmosphere, values have receded one
shilling to two shillings per quarter.
Imports of foreign wheat into London
have been fair. At Liverpool the arrivals
have been unusually heavy. At both places

Firmness has been the leading feature Of
the trade in France. Prices there have
undergone a slight improvement, which
would indicate that the values here are per

Il MIN WITHOUT APARTY.

Every one familiar with the literature
of our civil war remembers E. E. Hale's
production entitled, ''The Man Without
Country" 1t was a telling little volume,
depicting in a most forcible manner the
utterly forlorn and hopeless condition of a
man adrift upon the world with no harbor
in which to anchor and no land which he
could claim as home.
Deplorable as was the condition of this
fictitious character, real life now furnishes
his counterpart in the person of President
Hayes, who stands to-day without political
man, so blighted, has ever held the Presi-
dency. Entering upon his Presidential
career by betraying his party at the South,
and deserving the men who, by forgery
and perjury had stolen the Presidency,
he disaffected all those who honestly
believed that it was longer
necessary to throttle the South in order to
protect the negro. His Wanted civil service
reform was all that was lacking to ALLEVIATE
the few who chung to him in the North. AS
that was proven the hollow hearted sham
which it is, the last vestige of political sup
port fled, and since then none have been 90
poor as to do him reverence. The Demo
Gratis have only endorsed him that thew
might the better use him, and they generous
ly despise him, whatever their temporary
policy may be-.
So utterly deserted is MIR. Hayes that when

upon the floor of the House, not Republi,
