Fun With Massachusetts.

Blaine's Tilt with Hoar and Dawes as De-
scribed by a Correspondent.
Senator Blaine gave his little dig at the
dads, and then continued: "Boston never did
and never will understand Name
Then the fun commenced. The ungodly
reporters up in the gallery laughed, Roscoe,
the repellent, grinned sardonicaly, and
turned to see the fgh this own self. Senator
Hoar looked mad as hops. Senator Dawes
defended the honor Of outraged Boston first
He protested in the name of the State he
represented against such Justification of his
tory, and SO on. Senator Hoar was much
the maddest. Both expressed their surprise
that the Senator from Maine should display
such questionable taste as to bring up such
matters on an occasion like this. Boston is
death on taste, you know. Senator
Hoar has somewhat thin and cracked
voice, and it reminded one of what
they used to tell of John Randolph, as
Senator Hoar shook his clenched fist at
Blaine, and in whitening, sarcastic tones, ac-
cused him of trying to make political capital
out of the marble statue of Governor King.
Finally he said things which sounded rath-
er strong, even for gentleman from Bos-
ton, the most conceited city on this globe.
He told what massachusetts had done in
the ''waw' said she was State which rep
resented the purest Anglo Saxon blood, and
had'n Mt an Ignorant man in her borders. (In
the excitement of the moment, the Senator
temporarily forgot the Irish in Boston.) FL
nally, says Senator Hoar, says he:
IF there is anywhere a heart that cherish
es envy, spite, malice or hatred, that heart
does not beat in the State of Massachusetts.
'Pretty steep, Mr.. Hoar,' said somebody
out loud, up in the gallery.
Then Blaine and Dawes went at il again.
IN ne the State of Massachusetts.
"She did, says Blaine.
''She didn't, . says Dawes
''You're another" says Blaine, or words to
that effect.
Finally Senator Dawes got in good one
on Mr.. Blaine. Raising his voice, he said :
''But sir, ,twan't the war of 1912 that troubl-
ed the Senator from Maine. It was the re-
suit growing out of another war that was the
matter with him.
Then Senator Hoar again. He made a
series OF bitter personal charges against Mr..
Blaine, who took it very cody indeed. He
was the least excited Of the three, and seems
to have received his old nerve. At last the
irate Senator from Massachusetts, called the
Senate of the United States and all mankind
to witness Mr.. Blaine -plottings and coun-
ter-plottings for the Speakership some years
ago.
'.When was it, sir! asked Mr.. Blaine.
1T was in the year 1871, SIR said Senator
Hoar, in h1s angry, creaky voice.
Il don't remember anything about it. dis
t'nctly, except that the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts was in very close and confidential
communication 2. with me during the whole
tlme,' retorted Blaine, which brought down
the galleries again.

meetlng 70 see the Senate Of the United
states walked up. The general opinion is.
that Mr.. Blaine got the better of both th i,

which charges criminal acts, the paper which
publishes them does not pretend to accuracy
Of its keys, except for dispatches that are
harmless. Mr.. Tilden will challenge any
one to assert that these eliminating dis
patches are correctly translated, and will
offer to go to a court of justice to settle their
truth or falsity.
The allegations made on the strength Of
this manifestly incorrect translation of q
cipher dispatch are but the repetition of the
old story Of the man caught in stealing who
raises the cry Of 'tstop thief" The truth of
the matter is that not one jot OF little of
evidence has ever been produced tending to
show fraud or attempted fraud on the part
of the Democrats during the election of
1876, while the testimony of fraud en-
ployed by the Republicans is overwhelming
in it's positiveness. The GLOBE is not an
admirer of Mr.. Tilden, any more than is the
New York Tribune, but it believes he is en-
titled to fair play. It does not believe, nor
can it find any evidence upon which to base
a belief, that Mr.. Tilden either attempted or
desired to enter into any corrupt transaction
by which he might attain to the Presidency
in defiance of law or of right. On the con-
trary, all the evidence at hand tends to ac-
quit him of that intent. The publication of
a bogus translation of the cipher dispatch at
this time will convince no fair-minded man
that Mr.. Tilden has in any respect compro-
missed his integrity. Such assertions are
only made to divert attention from the mag
nifcent rascality for which the Republican
party has been distinguished, and will fall
fiat upon the public ear

SANTA CRUZ INsURRECTION.

Three-FOurths of the Towns Pillaged and
The Island Ruined-Fears of the Loss at
Sea of Ex-President Gonzales and Party.
HAVANA, Oct. IA French steamer from
st. Thomas has arrived, bringing further par
ticlilars of the instruction in Santa Cruz
The instruction broke out in the west of the
island, where three-fourths Of the towns were
burned and pillaged. The insurgents then
traversed the island towards Bassen, but fortu-
nately the timely arrival of forces from st.
Thomas saved that part of the island. Sixty
four sugar plantations were burned. Only
nine of value remain. The principal leaders
of the instruction are now undergoing
trial. About 800 insurgents are still scattered
about the country.
The cause of the Instruction was short pay
ments of wages and the refusal of the author
tiles to give passports to negroes. Santa Cruz
was already declining and the island is there
fore totally ruined. The merchants of St.
Thomas lost heavily by the instruction.

believes in the doctrine if he is smitten on
one cheek of turning around and asking
the fellow, as personal favor, to whack
HIM on the other side of the jaw. Hence
ne is travelling about the district for Wash
burn. When Bill King removed Cyrus
Aldrich and appointed Doc Keith post
master of Minneapolis, Washburn organized
an indignation meeting, and was the leading
speaker. Here is the way he is reported in
the Press of April II, 1871.
Never before has this community been 80
stirred up as it has at the removal of Col.
Aldrich from the office of postmaster in this
city. At first it was not believed by anv one.
hardly, and it is safe to say that not five per-
sons in the city knew of it, and still less
number desired it. In the FIVE NAV be cIassed

will not attempt to give you sketch of Mr..
Washburn's speech, but it was full of bitter
denuncia.ions of not only the dustu711ly and
contemplate means by which the outrage was
committed, but filed with cutting sarcasm Of
the mean. contemplate quretch with whom it was
sought to displace the present occupant.
Keith evidently thinks Washbsrn was
about right in calling him a Contemplate
wretch" and hence he enthusiastically sup
ports him for Congress.

Mr.. E. F. DRAKE stated in the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday that the brass kettles
were the most accurate measures which the
ingenuity of man could devise. They were
made with mathematical accuracy, of metal
not affected by the weather, etc. Now let
us see how it works practically. Levi
Bailey wished to ascertain the grade and the
best market for his wheat. He accordingly
took sack and went to Langdon, on the G.,
M. & ST. P. r. Il. Here it was put in the
accurate brass kettle and went 55 lbs, which
would make it No. 8. Then he took the
same wheat to q warehouse at Newport and
applied the brass kettle, and it went 81
lbs., giving him No. 2. Then he went
to the Newport elevator and again that in
