TREE PLANTlNG--OR, STEWARDS

The committee on public lands of the
United States Senate have reported favorably
to the Senate bill which provides that
Every person who plants, protects and keeps
in healthy growing condition for ten years
ten acres of timber, the trees thereon not be-
ing more than four feet apart each way, on

be entitled to patent for such quarter section

of such fact by not less than two credible wit
nesses.

tion shall thus be granted, and further provid-
ed, that any person who shall have heretofore
planted and cultivated trees not more than
twelve feet apart each way to the extent of
twenty acres or more on one quarter section,
and who shall in all other respects comply with
the requirements of this act. shall be entitled
to its privileges and benefits
This is the plan of our blonde MON ber and
shows what the doctor knows about tree
planting. It will be observed that the trees,
hereafter planted, are to be only fozr feet
apart, and are to be kept Sin a healthy,
growing condition for ten years. Now as
the trees that will ordinarily be planted, are
those having the most thrifty growth, such
as the cottonwood. soft maple and box ell

sherman's Resumption Phantom.

Washington Special Cincinnati Enq uirer.
1t begins to look as if John Sherman will
succeed in his plan of defeating legislation
to repeal the resumption law, and that those
who believe that it will be repealed will real
ize, when too late, that they have been i'm
posed upon by his cunning and trickery.
While the features of the bill now being for
mulated by the Senate finance committee
have roseate look, they fail to wipe out the
odious law which puts Sherman in power to
speculate with our credit while chasing his
phantom of resumption. It is believed by
many, too, that the bill in process of incuba-
ton meets his approval, and was
even suggested by him as middle ground
constituencies behind them who demand the
can, by supporting the new scheme intended
as compromise, beg the question by assert
ing that it was the only thing that could be
got. The more the new scheme is analysed
the palmer do Sherman's ear-marka appear
in it. Indeed, the contemplated bill is the
opinions boiled down, given by Sherman in
his famous interview with the Senate finance
committee. Forced by public opinion to
yield in his relentless policy of contraction,
he now seeks to defeat the will of majority
of the people by offering milk-and-wat
measure, which, while it repudiates the
opinions he has heretofore held. does not
meet the necessities of the honr. If the
friends of resumption repeal are not on
the alert, they will too soon number
themselves among Sherman victims. That
this is suspicious is the fact that the bond
holders are willing to accept the new bill,
and argue that it is really an imitation meas
ure. They say that the repeal of the eighty
per cent. greenback retiring clause of the
resumption act will stop contraction, and
that, under the circumstances, to restrict
Sherman. in his contraction policy will ac-
complish contrary result of initiation. 1t
is an advance of the bondholders in an insid-
ious form, and the Democrats of the Senate
want to make haste slowly in adopting it, as
supplementary legislation to the passage OF
the House bill for the repeal of the resump-
ton law it is we'll enough, but is compro-
mise for that bill. 1t is an enemy in dis
guise, which should be met with a bold
front.

In the desperate efforts of the poor old
morning paper affair to ''beat the GLOBE" it
perpetrated two frauds upon the public
yesterday. The first was the announcement
that the Governor had appointed Henry M.
Knox, to be Public Examiner, and that his
commission was issued yesterday. The ap-
pointnent has not been made and the COM
mission did not issue yesterday to Mr.. Knox
or any one else. The record, was the an
nouncement that an application had been
made to Judge Dillon, at St. Louis, for au-
thority to issue debentures for the completion
of the unfinished lines of the st. Paul &
Pacific, and that the authority had been
granted. AS a matter of fact, Judge
Dillon is holding court at
Jefferson City, and there has been
no information received that even the appli..
cation has been made. while it is absolutely
certain that, if argued, no decision has yet
been announced. The reading public can
confidently rely upon finding all the news in
the GLOBE as soon as it occurs. The poor
old morning paper affair has been so con-
stantly and persistently beaten by the GLOBE
during the past three months, that its mana
gers have grown insane with jealousy, and
hope, by giving false news, to appear to be
ahead. The Pioneer Press could get along
very we'll while it was the only morning
paper, for it was all the same whether it
pubhshed an item one week or the next,

WE fear our Canadian friends do not read
the GLOBE as attentiveIy as its merits de-
from Ottawa stating that arrangements have
been completed with the st. Paul & Pacific,
which will give all rail communication to
Winnipeg. One of the greatest incentives
to the passage of the St. Paul & Pacific bill
by the late Legislature, was the assurance
that this connection would be secured. The
completion Of the st. Paul & Pacific to the
boundary line, is only awaiting the order of
the court, and that is daily expected. The
British authorities will complete the connec-
ton through their territory, and in Novem-
Der St. Paul and Winnipeg will be joined
with iron bands.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY and THE
REGENTS DIFFICULTY.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY md THE
REGENTS DIFFICULTY.
The GLOBE regrets that the last meeting
of the Board of Regents of the University of
Minnesota, should exhibit so little harmony
in the management of that institution of
learning. The University should be the
pride of the State. It should form the Cor
inthian capital of the benefcent
system of education with which
the generosity of the United States govern
ment has so richly endowed Minnesota. It
would appear, that, with the public schools,
and the high schools, and the Normal
schools, constituting, as they ought, the
primary institutes. and colleges, and prepar-
atory departments, the University should
cease to be school boys house of training,
and become University of scholars.
At the last meeting of the Regents, twenty
teachers were elected, including all grades
denominations and kinds. This locks some.

THE announcement of the Pioneer Press

THE announcement of the Pioneer Press
this morning that it had appointed II. M.
Knox, Public Examiner (the Governor as
clerk of the newspaper is expected to ratify
the appointment suggests neat little part
nership between the newspaper and Mr..
Knox. If Mr.. Knox finds an official who is
little shaky he will report to his master
who appointed him, and hence the Pioneer
Preas will be fully posted relative to the
vulnerable county officials. AS that con-
Germ is a large dealer in blanks, blank
books AMI county supplies generally, it can
use this information to advantage and if the
shaky oh;ial doe, not wish to have news
paper exposure, he will put his county prin-
ting where it will do the most good. The
excessive laudation of Mr.. Knox by the
Pioneer Press, can be accounted for on no
other basis. It remains to be seen whether
Mr.. PillsburY is Governor of Minnesota,
and makes his own appointments, or
whether he is the mere clerical agent Of a
newspaper, which wishes to blackmail job
printing out Of county officials.

It is hardly worth while to attempt to re-
flute the lies of school book monopoly organs,
but the Dispatch is SO indecently false that
we notice one point. It says;
The GLOBE renews it's assertion that Turkey
offers his books at ''S5.l4 per set delivered
when the postal card itself explicitly states that
fifteen per cent. must be added to that price
for freight and commissions, making, as we
said. exactly S5.G5, against Merrills set at
S5.27.
TO show how outrageously false this is,
and that the books are delivered freight pre-.
paid for $5.l4, we quote from Mr.. Turkey S
postal card as follows:
Merrill's thirteen books will cost you, after 5
Per cent. for freight and ten per cent. for COM

pondiug books of the Monroe series of school

conklino's Vie.c of Stanley Matthews.

Extract from the Interview.
"Stanley Matthew'S said the New York
Senator, "belongs to the President, of course,
not only by relationship, but because Hayes
made him Senator. The President thought
he needed factotum in the Senate so he
told Garfield to step aside and make room
for the administrators brother in law, and
the Ohio Legislature obediently did the
Presidents behests. OF course this was all
right in the case of Hayes, but if Grant had
tried to dictate to State Legislature after this
fashion, what a lively commotion there
would have been. Matthews is not a bad
fellow and feel sorry for him sometimes.
Not long ago the nomination of an Ohio man
for foreign consulship was sent into our
committee and made inquiry about the in
cumbent, and found that he was in every
way an acceptable man, and so reported to
the committee. Afterward Stanley Mat
thews came to me in the Senate chamber
and said: 'You must make room for that
man. He's good man and ought to have
the place But said I, the incumbent it
good man too, and under the rules of
civil-service reform I do not think is
right to relieve him. Matthews then
said, "You must do it. The new man is a
friend of mine, and I promised him the
place i'll return for working for me. went
to the President, and asked for it for him.
''Well, Mr.. Matthew'S" said, 81 have got tc
give the committee some reason for making
a change. Shall tell them that the nominee
was appointed by the President at your re-
quest, and as reward for political services?'
"Why, certainly said Matthews, II have nc
objection whatever" AS soon as he was
gone, turned to Senator Hamlin, who sa
next to me, and asked him what should do
and if should make his request known tt
the committee. Hamlin said, eyes, d.
him, it'll serve him just right, if he's such I
would not do anything of tn,
kind, since it would put him in
very bad light before the Senate, but coult
not help wondering at what seemed to nj
the marvellous innocence of the man. 70,
can judge for yourself how far the wit ant
experience of .such man goes TOWARD
strengthening the administration. I thinl
there is nothing he has done that has added
any credit tn Hayes, and yet that man wen
through fire and water POLITICALLY speaking
to make Stanley Matthews Senator, in plac
of so really able man as Garfield. Well
it shows how good judge of human natur
and acquired abilities our very amiable Pres
ident is, for Stanley Matthews is the on
specially chosen representative of MIR. Haye
in the Senate of the United States, and tn
specimen is unique"

them was this gentleman. The foundation
OF the alleged interview evidently was
what Conkling said at his own table to those
whom he regarded as his confidential
friends. Since then this gentleman has been
discharged from the editorship of the Utica
Republican, and he has now elaborated what
ne heard at Conkling's table. with, perhaps,
the chat of that gentleman's friends, into a
formal declaration of hostility to the admin
lstration and its'defenders. In the Senate
those familiar with Conkling's style say that
ne never used many of the expressions put
in his mouth, although it is probable that
much that is reported is true. The publica-
ton can have no possible effect except as q
firebrand adroitly thrown by man seeking
revenge, who betrayed tho hospitality of q
private dinner-table.
