AS an illustration of the financierino
ability of Sherman and Schurz. we heard
the case stated in this way yesterday Sup
pose there was debt of $4,000 hanging
over railroad, which debt bore no interest,
and there was no demand or necessity for
its present payment, and which could
be kept in that way lust as
long as the railroad desired; and
there was much larger debt hanging over
the road, which debt bore interest, and
could be paid at the pleasure of the road.
What would be thought of the officers of the
road If, instead of paying off and thereby
lessering the interest debt to the extent Of
$4,000, they should retire $4,000 of the
non-interest debt? The officers who should
SO act would be unceremoniously kicked out
of place by the stockholders.
Sherman, Schurz d Co. will have on hand
some $26S,OO0,OO0 in. goid-so estimated
on the lst of January, 1879, to redeem
greenbacks, which pay no interest, which
can be kept in that way as long as the gov
eminent pleases. and for the redemption of
which there is neither public necessity nor
q. mand, and which they intend to apply in
that way, instead of retiring there
with $26s,OO00OO 6 per cent.
bonds, and thereby saving to
the taxpayers some $16,OOO.OOO annually.
besides wlplng out that much of the enor-
nous public debt. Should not such fnanciers
be kicked out of Office by the people? What
private firm would do business in that way?
And If 1t should SO manage its affairs, would
not every one who knew of it consider them
the biggest fools outside of an insane
asylum?

ART LOAN EXHIBITION.
An Appeal to the Citizens of St. Paul,

An Appeal to the Citizens OF St. Paul.
Among the unique entertainments just now
projected is an art loan exhibition for the bene-
fit of the exchequer of the Relief association of
this city. A general committee, with Hon. H. M.
Rice as chairman, has been raised to arrange
the preliminaries of this public display of the
art treasures of our community. In order to
insure the success of this undertaking, it is
necessary that every citizen should feel a per-
sonal interest in it, and manifest q personal
pride in contributing in every possible way to
its completeness. The public advantage of ex-
h1bltlcns OF this character cannot be overesti-
mated. In other and older cities they have
been the means of developing an esprit d1 corps
III reference to art matters, and have served to
reveal the taste and treasures of their several
communities. The loan exhibition held in
New York in the fall of 1876 was pronounced
the finest ever made in this country, and proved
a most gratifying surprise to its own residents
as well as to strangers Here. in this metropolis
of the Northwest, such an exhibition as is pro-
posed will make public our own interest in art:
it will put at the service of the community
both for its education and enjoyment the
choice pictures and valuable bric-a-brac which
now adorn many of our homes, and lend to
them their special charm and beauty.
For the benefit of students; for interesting
the public In act, and for the elevation of its
taste; for the rare entertainment in this way Sc
cured to our people and those who might be at
tracted hither, this exhibition will be in every
sense great utility. We are pursuaded that.
if with just civic pride we engage together in
this matter, from our homes can be brought to-
gether the paintings, pieces of statua1y, In
dian curiosities, autographs and documents of
historic interest, keramics, at once tasteful and
rare, all of which will constitute, when appro-
prlately arranged, an art display which will
progress in all that goes to make up refined
and cultured life. Accordingly we appeal to
all our citizens to take an immediate personal
interest in this affair, and by their prompt CO.
operation with the various committees to be
put in charge of the work, and their cordial
loaning of aught in their possession likely to
add to the variety and richness of this exhibit,
to thereby assure its success. Not only will a
worthy society be thereby assisted in caring
during the winter for the deserving poor, but
an art entertainment will be offered our citi-
zens cleditable to their public spirit and taste,
and improvement to our community generally.

FArAI LIGHTNING BOLT.

John Keifer Instantly Killed--His Body
Stripped of Clothing and Driven into the
Ground Nearly FOOt--Two Other Per-
SONS Struck by the Bolt.
The storm Of yesterday left death in its
wake. It came with all the suddenness and
mystery of lightning flash to John Keifer.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock he start
ed out on hunt, accompanied by boy.
About 3 o'clock the storm came down upon
them in its deluge of rain and quick repeti-
ton of lightning flashes.
At the time they were on the west side of
the river, in the near vicinity of the railroad
bridge. Both started towards it
to seek shelter against it's but
tress. In the driving storm they be-
came separated. The boy companion has
tened towards the bridge, and came up with
man and wagon loaded with hay. The
boy whistled for Keifer, and repeated it for
the third time.
just then binding flash of lightning
spread about and enyeloped him and the
wagon and driver. Roth were knocked
senseless. Within ten or fifteen minutes
they recovered sufficiently from the shock
! to stagger to their feet. They gazed
about them in a dazed and
half blinded way. AS the glare of the blaz-
ing discharge cleared away from their vision
they observed smoking mass within ten
or twenty feet of them and detected the odor
of burning cloth.
Both started towards the object. Reach
ing the smouldering mass, an appalling
siaht looked up at them. There, perfectly
nude, laid the body of John Keifer. He
had been stricken by the bolt that had rem
dered them senseless. The lightning
had entirely stripped him of CLOTH
ing, and it lay around the
corpse in burning fragments. The body
had been driven into the ground fully one
foot. On lifting up the remains, even the
shoes were seen to have been stripped off,
and were found distance of fifty feet from
the body. A further examination showed no
marks of injury upon tho body, except one
small hole over the right temple. From it,
simple drop or two of blood had trickled
down over the pallid face.
At the time Keifer was struck he had a
gun on his shoulder and revolver
strapped to his waist. Both were
uninjured, but discharged from the electric
heat. His watch was found some ten or
twelve feet from him, neither broken nor
otherwise, apparently, damaged. The face
of the dead was perfectly placid, and appear
ed if death had been attended with no pain
AS soon as the alarmed and shocked parties
were restored to full comprehension of the
dreadful catastrophy, the boy was dispatched
to the city for assistance. The body was
brought to the city, temporarily placed in
the morgue, thence taken to the residence
of deceased's parents on Fort street.
DIR. Stein, the coroner, took possession of
the body at the first intimation of the terri
BILE accident; accompanied it to the parents
residence, and there raade arrangements for
holding the inquest to day at 10 O'Clock A. NJ.
Deceased was "a years of age, single. He
was the only son of John Kelfer, Sr., former
proprietor of the Wild Hunters hotel on
jackson street.

One Joe Welsh Fills Himself, Runs
Against Brother-in- Law, and is Now
Laying Up for Repairs.
Last night about o'clock a brutal assault
was made upon one Joe Welsh in the vicin-
ity of the American house. So far as can
be learned the affair came around in this
way. Joe Welch was in Knauff's variety
theater, and becoming pretty noisy in his
cups, he was ordered out by Chief Weber.
Sh ortly after man named John Smith
staggered after him. Chief Weber saw the
two start off arm in arm, on the principle of
divided we fall, toward the custom house.
Within balf an hour, some person stumbled
over an apparently dead body lying in front
of the American house stables on
Wabashaw street. He gave the alarm
The dead weight was picked up and carried
into the Americ IN house. There the fea-
lures of Joe Welsh were recognized through
the clotted blood and bruises in his face. He
was half unconscious and very much drunk
He could give no account of himself. He
was taken over to the police station, washed
up and three ugly gashes were found in his
face.
DR.. Roy was c,Iled in and dressed the
wounds, none of which are supposed to be
dangerous.
Later in the evening Smith was arrested,
but the opinion was expressed that he was
too drunk to have beaten Welsh
up SO horribly. Applications of cold
water partially sobered both patients and
they finally told the following story: After
leaving Knauff's they started home, but one
or the other suggested last nip. Both
were in the humor for it. Arm in arm they
staggered back on Wabashaw street towards
Fourth street. At the corner they met John
Carr, a brother-in-law of Welsh's. John
Carr collided with Walsh and ditched him
in the mangled condition in which he was
found. Smith meanwhile meandered off. It
seems Carr had a supposed cause for his as
sault. Welsh is n'er-do- well, ami at times
is very abusive to his wife, Carr's sister.
She maintained herself, and at present
works in Whitcomb's restaurant, on Waba-
shaw near Seventh street. A few days ago
Welsh visited her, and berated her soundly.
He threatened her with violence, and even
death. For this visit, Carr is supposed to
have visited the severe punishment on Welsh,
catching him in good way to inflict it.
The police were on the lookout for Carr.
but up to an early hour this morning had not
found him.

10 MILLS.
That is the Rate of Taxation Where There
is Democratic Administration.

That is the Rate of Taxation Where There
is a Democratic Administrations.
Too much of good thing may pail upon
the taste, usually. But st. Paul can't get
enough of the good thing when dished up
in the form of the tax levy of 13 mills for
all purposes, adopted by the council yester-
day. AS heretofore shown in the GLOBE the
only city in this commendable competition,
which can show claims to the semblance of
rivalry, is Detroit. That claim had to be
abandoned when all the circumstances of a
comparison were taken into account. Alb
solutely st. Paul is the banner city. The
low rate of taxation for the year 1878 is
levied on decreased valuation of
vious years. And every provision
has been made for all the improvements in
progress or projected. These are varied,
substantial, and expensive. The revenue de-
rived from the levy will be expended on
more extensive and expensive improvements
than have been heretofore inaugurated or
completed. This years levy, as compared
with the two previous years, in face of the
hard times, shows meritorious manae eement
by the financial officers of the corporation
For three years, including present year,
the levy has been as follows:
1876-State, mills; county, 4; city, 10;
total, 16 mills. Property valuation, 1885,
1898.
1877-State, 2; county, 4; city, 12; total,
18 mills. Property valuation, 4,646, ,416.
1878-State, "a; county, 3; city, 7.6; total,
13 mills.
The city levy includes the tax for all and
every purpose, school as well as all others.
By reference to the above the reduction in
the rate has been made, all requirements
met, also, in the face of decreased valua-
ton of property, and an increase in the State
levy of 4-1O and probably $40 mills over
the previous year. The above exhibit is
worthy of crow from every Democratic
throat in the city. For just such things are
we Democrats.
