Sale of Florida Oranges.

Messrs. Taylor g. Lane of New
York, whose advertisement appears
in our paper,sold on the eth. inst.
five boxes Of Florida Oranges at SIS
per box. These oranges were sent
from Drayten Island, and were re-
ceiyed in good order, but they were
only partially ripe, and consequently
the quality was inferior. The boxes
contained from 225 to $50 oranges
each. This was a good sale for fruit
OF this description and shows that the
market for Florida oranges will be a

made against these gentlemen of dishonesty,
and all that had ever been said against it
was that it was an unfortunate project for
the city. The parties who sold the land
were not to be blamed.
Mr.. Lee agreed with Mr.. Smith. A great
mistake, it was patent now, had been made.
MI. Thompson's explanation was satisfac-
tory, and he was willing it should be done.
The resolution was then made the specific
order for Monday next.
Gen. johnson said there were three sepa-
rate bills before the Legislature for increase
of salary, and he therefore moved the Cham
Der adopt the following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Chamber
that the salaries of the county and city
officers. beyond restoring the pay of the Audi
tor and Treasurer as it was previous to LIST Of
January. 1878, should not be increased at this
session of the Legislature.
Mr.. Lee opposed the further reduction of
the salaries of the County Treasurer and
Auditor, and advocated the repeal of the law
OF 1876, whereby reduction had already
been made in the compensation Of these
officers.
MIR. Barney contended that the salaries
were high enough-too high in fact.
Mr.. Cochrane said the report of the COM
mittee on retrenchment was carefully pre-
pared report, and he was astonished to hear
that three bills for an increase of salaries
were now before the Legislature.
Mr.. Berkey thought that unless the Cham
Der endorsed the action of its committee
they would get no legislation this winter fol
reduction of salaries. He had labored fol
many years for reduction. and now he was
getting tired of it.
Mr.. Banning moved to postpone Gen
Jonhsen's resolution to meeting of the
Chamer on Thursday evening.
Mr.. Cochrane moved to reconsider the vot,
whereby the report of the retrenchment com
mittee was referred to the committee on leg
islation. Carried.
Mr.. Cochrane.then moved that a specia
meeting be called for Tuesday morning at :
o'clock.
| Mr.. Lee moved to amend by making i
Friday evening. Lost.
Mr.. j. II. Reaney explained that there wa
misunderstanding on the part of the dele
cation, and that they did meet and we're il
session at the time spoken of.
Mr.. Cochrane's motion was then adopted
On motion of Mr.. Hodges, the use Of tn,

night, for meeting of that body, at which
all members of the chamber were requested
to be present.

WHEN Mr.. Donnelly was advocating the
Merrill textbook bill in the Senate, he said
What right have the cities to present petit
ton here? They are not under this law. BY
the action of the school book ring last winter,
they were stricken out from the law, and now
they come here and declare that even the farm
ing community shall not have any benefit un-
der the operation of this law.
When the bill reached the House, q petit
ton was presented for the bill from Ramsey
County, signed almost entirely by residents
of st. Paul, and unrolled with a great -four
ish. It seems from this that cities have a
right to petition for, but not against the

Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-02-19
A sPECIOUs ARGUMEST.

Almost the only argument used by the
friends of the Merrill bill, is that the book
publishers will make some money if it is
defeated. We should like to know if book
publishers will not make some money if it
passes. Hence, it becomes a question as to
which crowd of book publishers shall be
benefited, and that is matter which is of
no interest to the public, whatever.
1t is of interest, however, to the public,
whether wrong and dangerous principle is
to be established, and whether the State is to
use public funds to engage in private bust
ness interests? Why should not the State
engage in the manufacture of clothing, or
give one man contract for it's manufacture.
Clothing is an essential. Every one must
have it, and it ameliorates more suffering
than reducing the price of text books. This
would be as legitimate as any business which
the State could engage in, and the very alb
surdity of the proposition is SO great that
we do not need to enlarge upon it.
Probably clothing men make some money,
or they would not engage in the business.

follow from this, that the State shall go into
the business herself? Is the State to supply
all our wares, and trust nothing to private
enterprise and competition?
That is the whole question at issue in this
fight. The public do not care whether Mer-
rill and Appleton or Van Antwerp and Barnes
are to profit by the sale of school books.
What the public desires is TO protect itself
from being feeced. By binding the State
hand and foot to the chariot OF
Appleton & Co., for fifteen years
Minnesota becomes willing and help.
less victim. That much is certain. BY
relying on the laws of trade which regulate
all branches of business as we'll as school
books the State does not suffer. The prop.
osition is simple business matter, and we
submit that there is not single advocate Of
the Merrill bill who would be willing to make
such contract for himself personally. Why
then should any member of the Legislature
infict upon the State contract which he
would not dare assume personally?
Laying claptrap, buncombe and dema-
gogueism aside, this is the whole question.

LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY md COR
RITPTIAN

When legislator constitutes himself a
detective police officer, and considers it a
part of his public duty to nose around among
parties interested in legislation, offering HIM
self for sale, and negotiating the price of his
body and soul, he exhibits a refinement of
honor and a delicacy of sensibility entirely
too exalted for the comprehension
OF ordinary mortals. No punishment is
too severe fol- bribery. The lobby has been
the curse of legislation. and bribery and cor
ruption, in all its forms and under all it's
guises and cloaks, should receive no mercy.
The case of Brandt, however, is not one to
challenge great deal of admiration. Why
did Mr.. Brandt take this questionable bus
mess upon himself? Was he so much in
terested in the passage of the Merrill
bill? Or was he SO deeply concerned
for the honor of the State? Or
did Mr.. Brandt propose to illustrate, dignity
and exalt the legislative character? Our
sensibillties, we must confess, are unfortu-
nately too obtuse and too blunt to appreciate
properly the self-sacrifce of the incorrupti-

line of characters, but we venture the asser-
ton, that in none is he likely to achieve such
wonderful success as in that of the 'Briber

and hero. Mr.. Brandt is an extraordinary
humorist as his dramatic performance in the
House conclusively proves. 1t was an unu-
sual stage, and Mr.. Brandt's timidity
and embarrassment were natural, but
in consideration of the plumbers and
evident errors in the morning, and in
consideration of the further fact, that Mr..

to suggest that MI. Brandt, on the next

tit of land-grabbers, timber thieves, etc.

HOW Il FRAUD OF 100000 WAS CAR
RIED FOR YEARS..

The Bank of North America, New York,
must be peculiar institution. Its system OF
book keeping, of cash balances, and of in
spection of accounts, has attractions the dis
honest should make themselves masters of.
A proficiency in stealing requires great skill
in what learned member of the Legislature
calls 'fggers.' "Figgers," they say
never lie. Undoubtedly this was true, in old
times, but no such heterodox stuff will an
swer for modern civilization, and the day of
national honor, public credit and govern
ment faith as advocated by the goldites.
As an illustration, take the case
of the Bank of North Amer
lea aforesaid. A clerk or book
keeper of that institution stole $780,
600 of that banks funds and
carried it on the books for
years. He carried it until he was broken
down, got tired of the burden, and one
morning suddenly decamped as defaulter.
During all these years, the directors had
held their regular meetings, examined the
books, made and sworn to their semi annual
statement, declared their semi-annual divi-
dends, credited and paid to stockholders
their cent per cent, and all the while
apparently, and it may be really, totally I'M
conscious that there was hole of 100000
in the safe, leakage, a swindlc. a steal, but
popularity and fashionably called deficit.
When the defaulting book-keeper disap-
peared, the truth fell like thunderbolt upon
officers, directors, stockholders and de-
positors, and the thunderbolt was heralded
by all the thunders and lightnings of the
financial Jove-Wall street.
In this case, the "figgers'' lied and lied bad
ly, and long, to the tune of 100000. The
lying necessitated scientific book keeping OF
the rarest kind-to quote Lord Dundreary-
kind of bookkeeping ssno fellah can posi-
bly, find out" The investigation in New
York is not ended. We anxiously await the
result in behalf of the public. The lovely
process Of concealing defalcation of $780,.
600 on banks books should become public
property. 1t will never do to have the in
vention patented.
