and OF whom he chooses, and as matter Of
course also, he wouldn't be in Office two
months before he would subject every county
in the State to the expense of new books to
be kept on the detective plan. He is to be

revenue plan of few years
ago-a supreme financial dictator
with all the county treasurers, and
the State treasury at his mercy, and SO forth

able craftsmanship.
OF all the egregious follies and consum-
mate nonsense, this scheme caps the climax.
1t is the quintessence of refined humbug-
gerry, and too absolutely absured to be, for
one moment, seriously entertained. It is an
insult to every county and to every honest man
in the State. Is Minnesota State of thieves,
that we should have State detective? In
all conscience have we not officers enough ?
The capitol swarms with them. like flies
around molasses can. Instead of creating
new Offices, abolish half of what we have and
cut down expenses. The people would be
a thousand times better off. See the amount
of money paid for salaries already. We
need no new Offices. In mercy spare. The
bill should be throttled at once, and buried

On the presumption, it would appear, that

scoundrel, Pillsbury, in that bedquilt mes
sage covering all creation, and the rest of

new State office, and the appointment of a
new officer. This gubernatorial bantling
when born, is to be called Public Examiner
So Pillsbury's suggestion has been embod-
led in bill, and it threatens to become q
law, but we hope not until we have two or
three more penitentiaries, and then nine to
one, but that the sPublic Examiner may be-
come one of the first inmates.

of $4,000, and $1,000 more for clerk hire
and expenses -$4 800 in ALTO spy out ras-
caity all over the State. He is to be kind

left out, and, in their stead,
he is to overhaul lust

Hetcitt's Co,,.-Dodger.

Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, is deter
mined not to allow his corn-dodger propo-
sition to fail if money and energy can make
it successful. He held an interview with
Commissioner Mccormick on Tuesday, when
he stated that the New York Corn Exchange
would advance whatever money was neces-
sary, and that he (HewitD would himself
give $4,000 to erect building, provided
space could be secured. The French gov
eminent will be asked for additional space
for the corn-dodger building. Hewitt pur-
poses to make sort of Vienna bakery where
the products of corn alone will be manufac-
tnred and sold, and to employ skilled cooks.
The purpose of the Corn Exchange, of
course IS to introduce American corn into

THE SDUABBLE 4BOUT INDI4lN MT
TIERS.
When Schurz took charge of the Interior
Department we were promised radical and
immediate reforms. The perennial rascaity
of the Indian business was to be extinguished
forever. With the devout religious convic-
tons of the musical Schurz, it was, at least,
hoped that he would overhaul the manage
ment of the agencies under the different
church denominations, as inaugurated by the
pious Grant These fond hopes have been
sadly disappointed. The scheme for
the transfer of the Indian middle to the war
department. is still pending in Congress, and
while there are many things to be said pro
and con, and particularly con on this subject,
it would be better, if Schurz is to remain in
Office, to make the transfer.
Meanwhile, Schurz, Galpin, ex-Commis-
sioner Smith, Tecumseh Sherman, who puts
his finger into everything Prof. Seelye and
Walker are doing lively laundry business
before the public. Smith and Galpin, the

and innocent Smith is devoting the time
preceding his advent to Montreal as Consul
General, on $4,000 year, in procuring
g certificates of character from the ire
pressible Sherman and seelye, and Galpin's
yelps are heard over the land.
The removal of Smith and Galpin is a
creditable act. Schurz can not err in the
matter of removals. If he will apply the
pruning knife, and go on removing, he can not
possibly go amiss. We want less squabbhng.
less washing of dirty linen, and more atten-
ton to public business and to reform. 1t is
needless to refer to the corruption and in
efficiency of the Indian service. It is bar
barisln, a blot on civilization, mockery of
free institutions, twin companion of Nor
monism and slavery. Unless Mr.. Schurz
shall improve, he will go out of Office leav-

than he found them, and triumphant over

Secretary Ia.De,ss' Mistake.

Secretary of State Irgens appears to have
displaced his assistant, Mr.. L. M. Metcalf,
(known to fame as the commissioner of
statistics,) and to have appointed in his place
countryman of his own named j. p. Jacob
son, of Swift county. The Office is one of
difficulty and responsibility, and .barring a
few eccentricities for which Metcalf has
always been distinguished, he is an excellent
man for the place. In sacrificing so able
and experienced an incumbent for the sake
of complying with the clamor of his coun-
trymen, and substituting novice whose
chief recommendation appears to be that he
is a Scandinavian, like himself, we are free
to remark that Mr.. Igens has made mis-

CAPT. EADs, in an elaborate address on the
scientific features of his jetty plan for
Strengthening and deepening the channel of
the Mississippi, delivered at ST. Louis, on
Change, Wednesday last, argued that per-
manent channel depth equal to twenty feet
in low water, can be thus obtained from
Cairo to the Gulf. This would be sufficient
to float river vessels of largest capacity at all
freight rates. Those who heard the address
were convinced that the project is feasible
and adopted measures for having it brought
early to the attention of Congress.

WHY should the Legislature compel the
small towns and school districts to accept
Merrills books whether satisfactory OF not,
while the cities are allowed to secure exemp-
ton. 1t is notable that every city in the
State has declined to accept the Merrill bill,
and by buying direct the cities are obtaining
better books at prices equally favorable to
the rates under the text book law.
