THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Politicians are calculating the chances
about the next Congress. The Republicans,
backed by the whole power of the admins
tration, will use every effort to overcome
the present Democratic majority. There is
no doubt of that. The present Democratic
majority has been the means of bringing
peace to the country, putting an end to
bayonets, relieving the Southern States of
misrule, and restoring the reign of law and
order.
We have no means of knowing what MIR.
Hayes would have done had he the same
subservient Congress as Grant. We rather
think he would have acted as he has done,
but his own party long ago said that Grant
would have done the same, and that Hayes
deserves no credit because he was compelled.
It is true that the Democratic House of
Representatives might put an end to the
government in one day, by withholding sup
plies, that Hayes, without the Southern sup
port he has received, would be powerless and
helpless, but yet we must presume patriotism
in every one, and render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's.
At the same time, every hour between
now and the next election is. valuable, and
Democrats everywhere must unite to main
tain the ascendency already gained, or sur
render their country and their party forever
To do this, cordial support should be given
to those who labor for party. It's newspapers
should be widely circulated, and all things
done to remove every element of discord
and to produce harmony through all the
ranks.

criminal ofense to use it. But it has been
restored in Minnesota, for the purpose of,
feeding patients, and with fatal result in
McDonald's case, and perhaps in many
others.
Nutrition is essential to life. Every body
knows SO much. DR.. Hammond says that
in cases where patients will not eat, persua-
sion and mild degree of force will generally
succeed, and that when the stomach pump
has to be used, they soon voluntarily yield.
We do not need the authority of Hammond,
or any one else, to pronounce Daniels gra-
tuitous defense of the death of Mcdonald as
a most barefaced exhibition of unfeeling
barbaritY.

THE PLUG and "WOODEN WEDGE"
FOR THE INSANE.

Our attention has been called to a letter of
IA. W. Daniels, M. D., St. Peter, March 80,
1875" This production escaped our notice,
and would now escape all comment. except
that the barbarous audacity of it's descrip-
ton is only equaled by the brazen impu-
dence of it's semi official character. Daniels
says, that he has "visited and passed through
the wards of this institution, every few
weeks, since its opening and therefore
Daniels may be accepted as good authority,
on the use of the "wooden wedge,'' the food
on which poor Mcdonald was fed and died.
Let us quote his language in full. He
says: "In feeding with the stomach pump,
a piece of wood three fourths of an inch
square, and long enough to reach
across the face, is partially inserted
in the mouth. central opening in this
piece of wood allows the passage of fexi-
BILE tube, through which the food is con-
Quoted to the stomach This is the
description of the instrument abolished in
England. abolished in all civilized commu-
mites, but preserved at the Minnesota Hos
pital for Insane to torture patients to DEATH
This is the innocent plug with which Belts
killed Mcdonald. IA piece of wood three
fourths of an inch square, and long enough
to reach across the face" This is the bar
barous thing with which the mouth is gagged
open, and through the opening in the wood
hog-slops are forced down to keep the poor
sufferer alive. Mcdonald was fed, in this
manner, from May 18th to August 2sd, and
then killed.
Every one at all familiar with the former
treatment of insane knows what the wooden
plug" was and is. Chas. Reade has described,
on more than one page, the horrors of these
cruelties, and the English authorities, after
thorough investigation, not only abolished
this instrument of torture, but made it a

An alarm of fire was sounded from box Is.
of the fire alarm telegraph, at about 2
O'Clock yesterday morning. The fire depart
ment was promptly on the road, and soon
reached the scene of the impending con-
fagration. The fire proved to be
in the basement of the fine depot of the
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul and Minneap-
oils railroad. The night Waterman made
the unpleasant discovery, and soon made it
known. The fremen worked with will,
and succeeded in saving the building, with
but little damage done. The fire origi-
mated in the north end of the
structure, over the furnace located in the
basement. A portion of the floor of the Ia
dies waiting room was burned through. The
only other damage was necessarily inflicted
by the fremen in bursting open the
doors to gain entrance to the room.
The loss was not very extensive, and
all damage will probably foot up few hun
! dred dollars. 1t was narrow escape, how
ever, and only for the early discovery and
prompt action of the fire department., the
entire building would certainly have been
consumed.

"WILLY,S BEAUTIES."
A Tell-Tale Brand of Cigars, Which Sen
Two Bows to Prison.

A"O buys 10 ITASOns
Michael Riley and Thomas Hines were yester-
day placed at the bar of the municipal court,
charged with burglariously entering the store
of T. s. McManus & Co., 81 East Third street,
during the night of Jan. 9, 1878. Riley is
about nineteen years of age, and was formerly
a bell-boy at the Merchants. He displayed con
siderable nervousness during the examination.
and his personal appearance is against him.
Hines is Q year or two older and presents a
much more hardened look, accepting his situa-
ton quite coolly. County attorney Rogers
appeared for the prosecution, and after some
delay, and at the request of Hines, John D..
O'Brien was secured for the defense
T. s. McManus testified very lucidly and sub
stantially as follows: During the night of
January 9th last the store of his company was
broken into by removing pane of glass from a
rear window, and 500 to 600 cigars, together
with $3.50 in coined money, were distracted.
The cigars were of peculiar brand, "Willy' IS
for his firm alone in Milwaukee, Wis. Each
box was. moreover, labeled on the bottom with
the firms label. No other parties secured this
brand of cigars or used their label, and none of
them were sold by McManus & Co. in St. Paul,
but were sent to their country customers only.
All the cigars of the brand described
in the store the night of the burglary
were stolen, except one, which had been since
securely kept and was produced in evidence.
The lid was tied down with two pieces of silk
ribbon, one of which was red and the other
yellow. All the "Willy's Beauties cigars
were SO tied.
Mrs. Dorsett, the keeper of cigar store on
Sixth street, said that Riley, along with two
Others came to her store on Saturday evening,
and offered to sell her 100 cigars. He had none
with him at the time, but made an appoints
ment for the next evening, when he would
bring some along with him. Sunday, the next
evening, he returned with Hines about O. clock.
They produced two boxes, Of SO cigars in each
box, and wished to sell them. They were
of the WHY'S Beauties brand. AS the Wit
ness had been warned by the police not to pur-
purchase, and notified the police. After the lads

SENATORIAL QUARREL.

Wt'sdons and Hipple-M Mitchell Take a Tilt.
Washington Special april q Chicago Times.
The morning hour of the Senate to-day,
was enlivened in refreshing degree by a
little personal recontre between Senators
Ripple Mitchell and Window It all grew
out of the bill reported to the Senate day
or two ago by Mitchell, from the committee
on railroads, granting an extension of time
to, the Northern Pacific railroad. The spat
arose to-day about as follows: Mitchell rose
to personal explanation, saying that he de-
sired to call the attention of the Senate to
what he regarded as the extraordinary be-
havior of Senator Window. The latter had
told Mitchell he desired to make minority
report on the bill for the Northern
Pacific extension, and Mitchell had agreed
to the proposition. To his surprise, however,
he claims that when he was absent from the
chamber Window introduced bill similar
to the one upon which the railroad COM
mittee had acted, and asked it's reference to
to the committee on public lands. Mitchell
quite naturally took exceptions to this pro-
extraordinary. Window dealt Mitchell a
still heavier blow by saying that what he had
done violated no rule of the Senate, as he
AAeaSA q PCAA0So 11SAt W 1uUIOuuC0 Cuo Jill duU
to ask its reference to the committee on
public lands, which he knew was just COM
mittee, and would give the bill an impartial
consideration. Mitchell redeemed in the
face at this pretty broad reflection, and
again emphasized the word extraordinary.
Window again retorted, and told Mitchell
that his course on the railroad com
mittee was even more extraordinary.
Mitchell swallowed mouthful of condensed
wrath, and demanded to know what Window
meant to insinuate. The latter, however.
with a taunting look of defiance upon his
phlegmahc round face, mildly declined to
specify his meaning, and with few spiteful
snaps at each other, the unruly pair sat
down. Window, it seems, is vexed about
some incidental features of the bill reported
by the committee, and has conceived the
idea that Mr.. Ripple Mitchell acts unfairly.
It is on this account that he has shown such
a lack of confidence in his colleagues in gen
eral, and the chairman of his committee in
particular. WINDOWS was the only vote
against the bill as reported by the committee
on railroads.

The Fort Smelling bridge commission
have, we fear, made fatal error in selecting
Sewall to make preliminary survey. His
lowest estimate for the bridge is $4,000,
and he is just obstinate enough to make the
cost equal his estimate, whether necessary OF
not. Besides, the best bridge builders will
not bid, if they have to execute a contract
under an engineer who will quarrel with
them before the ink of the contract is dry,
and continue so doing up to the end. 1t is
time we should be able to do a little some
thing without Sewall.

EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.

A Boston Lumber Firm Suspended Be-
cause of Heavy Forgeries by Their Indian
apolis Agent.
BosroN, April 4.-The firm of Holt & Bug
bee, lumber dealers, suspended yesterday.
Liabilities S150,00O, due mostly in Boston. The
failure of the firm, it is stated, is caused by
the fraudulent action of MIR. Bugbee, brother
of the junior partner who has for several years
acted as buying agent for the firm at Indian
apolis. To cover his own losses he has drawn
against the firm, using as collateral the notes
of parties in the West, whose signatures are
admitted to be forgeries. Bugbee confesses to
issuing 1882, 900 of these notes, now largely in
the hands of the Boston banks, but payable in
indianapolis. 1t is believed that apart from
the forgeries, the firm is solvent, and will be
able to resume.
The amount of forged paper issued by ]. W.
Bugbee of Indianapolis. western agent of Holt
& Bugbee, this city, is said to be $3.50, 900, and
in addition to this, Bugbee has drawn largely
on the firm up to as late date as March 30th

WISE ECONOMY INSTEAD OF Il NE "
OFFICE.

At tho last meeting of the County Com
8. Lee Davis purchasing agent for the coun-
ty, authorizing him to contract for all the
printing, buy all the stationery, &C., for all
the county officers. The resolution also pro-
vided that Mr.. Davis should receive $500
for his services.
In some quarters a misrepresentation has
been created, and it is announced that new
office and extra salary has been created. AS
q matter of fact, there is nothing new in the
matter, save that the pay is one hundred
dollars less than heretofore. This purchas-
ing agency was established in Dec, 1876,
when Gen. r. w. johnson, one of the coun-
ty commissioners, offered the following,
which was adopted:
Resozvea, That the county auditor be in
structed hereafter to make the purchases OF all
stationery, contract for all the printing re-
quired for the use of the county, and that no
other county officer in future shall be allowed
to make any purchase whatever for
order from the county auditor.
All purchases made in violation Of this resolu-
ton, shall be charged to the person making
them, ana IN no case SHALL pay uueIlG W duCuOI-
lied by this board. In consideration OF the
extra labor imposed upon the Auditor, he shall
be allowed an additional clerk, at not to exceed
fifty dollars per month,
This resolution, if legal question was
raised, would undoubtedly be found to be
still in force In fact Auditor Davis sub
rnitted the question to competent legal au-
thority some time since to ascertain whether
subsequent legislation had rendered the
resolution nugatory, and received
the opinion that it was still of binding force.
10 guard against all contingencies, it was
deemed best to re-enact the resolution, and
this was accordingly done, with the change
of allowing $500 per year for extra clerk
hire, instead of $50 per month. This in re-
atty is reduction of one hundred dollars
per annum in an old position, instead OF
creating new one at increased expense.
The question as to the economy CT advisable
ty of having purchasing agent, is very read
lily determined by ascertaining whether any
saving has resulted to the county therefrom.
Previous to the adoption of this resolution
when each county officer made his own pur-
chasing as and where he pleased, the figures
stood thus:
Cost of printing in 1876. ............ $3, $40 II
Cost of printing in 1877 .~.......... 1856 q
Saving to the county in printing. 753 81
Stationery for 1876 ........., 1882 6
Stationery for 1877 AS 81
Saving to the county in stationery 1857 L
Net saving to the county. ........ Sill o.
The Auditors report shows $416.25 more
expended for printing than is given above
but that sum was paid for publishing {
portion of the Dakota county tax list, ant
has since been refunded, so that the figures
given above as the amount saved are cor.
rect.
It does not need any elaborate Statement
to convince anyone that in continuing tn
Office the commissioners acted wisely ant
for the best interests of the county.
