SENATOR MCMILLAN is evidently becoming
something of politician. He was regarded
sufficiently verdant when first elected to be
counted as ''Christian statesman but he
has just written letter to the Minneapolis
Board of Trade which shows the effect of
Washington life. To be truly expert
politician a person must write what he doesn't
mean, and after creating false impression,
do exactly the opposite from what is ex-
pected. If anything, Mcmillan has sur
passed this, for he has written letter which
does not show what he means and does
not create false impression, because it
fails to create any impression whatever.
Here is this remarkable epistle:
Your favor of the 18th inst, inclosing reso-
luton of the Minneapolis board of trade earn
estly requesting the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from Minnesota, to use their
best efforts to defeat the passage of an act pro
vldlng for the levy of tax on incomes, was
duly received. am pleased to receive this ex-
preston of the opinion of the board of trade.
representing as am sure it does, the business
community of Minneapolis. Very respectfully
yours, s. J. r. McMuI,AN
be is pleased to receive the resolutions
because he thinks they represent the business
community of Minneapolis. People are
very peculiar in this world. It takes great
deal to make some men happy, while Others
are very easily gratified. Senator MCMILLAN
evidently belongs to the former class, and it
was not until he was fully aware, and sure
that the Minneapolis Board of Trade repre-
sented the business community of that city
that his joy gave vent to words. Then he
launched out, and without giving any clue to
his own position, has told how happy he was
to think that the Board of Trade represents
Minneapolis.

HAcKENsACK,s ROMANTIC WEDDING

Sheriff HerinD's Daughter Marries Her
Fathers Former Codchnsan.
New York Sun, 28th.
Residents of Hackensack talked yesterday
about the romantic marriage of Sheriff
R. Herings only daughter, Sarah, to the
sherif's former coachman, Celestin Four
nier, by the Rev. Cyrus Durand. Mr.. Durand
said, yesterday, that he did not
know the couple; but, when they asked
him to marry them, he 'sput them on
their affidavit and they swore that
they were each % years of age, and that
they knew of no impeachment to the mar
rage. Then he married them. The couple
went first to the Romon Catholic priest, who
said that he would marry them next day,
and they went away disappointed, to the
Baptist parsonage. That clergyman was
sick, and Mr.. Durand was the next one WIS.,
tied. There was commotion in town over
the marriage.
After the ceremony, the wife returned to
her fathers house, and Fourier went to his
The bride was with her mother; they were
on their way to Cherry Hill station, near
which the BRIDES grandfather lives, on
Sheriff Hering's farm. The bride and
groom walked up and down the railroad
track, talking earnestly. Fourier wore
slouched hat, red flannel shirt, corduroy
pantaloons, and unblackened boots, while
the bride was fashionably attired. Sheriff
Herring is said to be wealthy. At night,
mother and daughter returned home, and SO
did Sheriff Herring, who had been in Newark,
and knew nothing of the marriage.
The sheriff is a tall, portly man. He be-
longs to the Hackensack Methodist church.
In forcible language, and with a gesture of
determination, he said yesterday that he
would put bullet Though Fourier, should
that young man ever cross his path or his
threshold. AS for his daughter, he said, she
could go: he would have nothing more to do
with her; she had made her bed and she
could lie in it. 1t is not known that he has
turned his daughter out of the house, but
last evening the bride went away from home
alone, taking nothing away with her, and
was at the railroad depot with stuffed car
pet-bag an hour afterward, accom-
panied by twelve-year-old sister of her
husband. She took the SOL train
alone, going toward her grandfather's. On
Monday she sent note thither, asking that
her clothes might be sent to Hackensack, but
they were retained on the farm.
"A friend OF MISS Herring asked her yeSter-
day why she married in such a fashion, and
she replied: 81 was crazy after him, and I
was bound to have him; now that I've got
him, none of you can get him from me-"
The same person asked the groom why he
took such way to get wife, and he said:
ssWell, we couldn't get the consent of the
parents, SO we just thought we would get
married anyway
Fourier is very well liked by his COM
panions.

Insole,.ce Of DR.. Bartlett.
Rochester Post.


The Senate committees inquiry into the
management of the hospital for insane al
st. Peter, has developed facts which, to say
the least, afford sufficient grounds for an in
vesigation, and which are exceedingly dam
aging to the officers having charge Of the in
stituton.
The fact that patients have been treated in
cruel and heartless manner on different oc-
casions-one instance, where the death OF
the patient was Immediately produced OF
greatly accelerated was fully brought out
by the inquiry. It has also been made to
appear that employees were restrained from
making complaints of wrongs or outrages
practiced at the hospital by standing threat
Of being promptly discharged in case they
did not keep close mouth.
The insolent and defiant manner of DR..
Bartlett, the superintendent of the hospital,
towards the committee is not calculated to
inspire the most favorable sentiment towards
that officer, besides it has the effect to con-
firm the public in the belief that radical re-
form at the hospital is loudly called for.

WHY ABUNE HOWE?

good many of the more servile class of
Republican papers have fallen to abusing
Howe, of Wisconsin, because he told little
truth in the Senate the other day. OF course
it is shocking to Republicans on general
principles to hear the truth, and it is
especially startling to hear it from one of
their own number. The novelty of such an
event makes great impression upon truly
loyal and faithful Republican.
However Senator Howe may be publicly
criticised by his Republican compatriots, he
nevertheless, expressed the real sentiments
of nina-tenths of the Republicans of the
country. Hayes has carried out the fraud
by which he obtained his Office, by betraying
and destroying his party. But for the Office
holders pelf, he would not have the slightest
following, and the following which he has is
composed of the noble kind of birds which
of the Republican party are the men who
have the courage and manliness to stand up
and denounce the man who has abandoned
every principle upon which the Republican
party was founded, or which it ever inculca-
ted. If we desired to see the Republican
party remain in. power, we should advise
Republicans to speak their honest sentiments
and denounce the non-elected President.
Under the circumstances, we look on the
situation with a good deal of COM
placency. The desire to retain Their
death grip on the treasury causes
a sufficient number to stulify themselves to
destroy the party. The organization having
completed it's mission and outlived it's use
fulness, is better dead than alive, and how.
ever much that party may feel in need OF
COMMUNICATION, the country is to be con
graduated upon the moribund condition Of
the corrupt old hulk. Such utterances al
those of Senator Howe give voice to tn,
better nature of what is left of tn,
Republican party, but it is all in vain
| The seal of everlasting condemnation
rests upon the party which stole the Presi
dency, and the Chambers and Howes ant
Conklings are simply the tools used by Di
vine agency to divide and destroy the part,
which has SO long and villainously ruled tn
country, and to place the Democracy tri
umphantly in power. The hand of Provi
dencs leads the Democracy onward and up
ward to the salvation of the nation.

SAINT PETER, April 1.-The asylum investi-
CATION still continues to be the subject of gem
eral conversation here, owing to the revelations
about the rottenness of the institution, as they
continue to be revealed by the GLOBE reporter,
and the arrival of each edition is watched for
and purchased with an avidity which is some
thing strange, and can only be accounted for
from the fact that the people of this city are
pretty thoroughly convinced that it is the only
paper in the State that will give full, connected
and reliable reports of the entire matter.
Another accident" has occurred at the hos
pital; one of the kind of accidents which seem
to be very common at this institution. Last
Friday while some of the patients were walk
ing on the bank of the Minnesota, one of
them, raving maniac, suddenly jumped into
the river. Upon seeing him jump in, one of
the attendants reached to save him, but he was
beyond his reach, and the other patients be-
ef e hs fae Hi. s10 body has nas
yet been found. Such things will continue to
occur as long as the institution remains under
the present management ed, of course, no
body is to blame, which is good deal of con-
ISOLATION to the friends and relatives of the
drowned man, who sent him there for safe
keeping.
Your reporter has interviewed several of the
employees at the hospital, and finds that while
DR.. BARTLETT is very generally respected, his
wife is considered to be very naughty and over
bearing. Your reporter has been informed
that she receives salary, which different per-
sons have stated yariously at 500 and $500,
and performs no service whatever.
Last summer the body of man was found
in the Minnesota river at Ottawa, six miles
below this place. An inquest was held on the
| body, and they were about to bury him, when
the doctor discovered his name sewed on his
clothes, and also stating that he belonged to
the hospital. The coroner next day drove up
| to the hospital to inform the doctor of the oc-
| currence, bat was most miserably snubbed by
the authorities at the asylum, and he went
back Disguised. The mans name was Nela
| Nelson, and his remains are buried near OF
| tawa.
The general sentiment among those who
wish to see the rottenness exposed, with which
this institution seems to be saturated, is that
the committe made mistake in not following
up the investigation and going to the bottom
of the matter at once as the managers viii
strain every nerve to get the real dangerous
witnesses out of the way before the committe.

The little evidence already taken, shows
that the State furnishes food and care for the
horses owned by the medical gentlemen
above named, and when these parties desire
to repair their wasted energies by a
hunting excursion, they do not make use of
their own horses, but use those belonging to
the State. AS to the treatment of the un-
fortunate patients under their care, but little
has as yet appeared, but that little shows
that the investigation was needed, and we
hope the committee will make it so searching
that nothing will escape them, and if the
charges shall be proven, will take such
means to punish the delinquents as Justice
and the interests Of the State demand.
The testimony taken by the committee in
dicates that gross cruelty was practiced in at
least one case, that of Mcdonald, who died.
It is in evidence that his mouth was pried
open with a stick, and food forced into his
throat, and that Belts, an attendant, was
usually coarse and brutal towards the pa
tients.

It is to be hoped that the committee will

humanity's sake and the honor of the State,
it is to be hoped that the charges will prove
false. Thorough Investigations of our pub

TO set up the plea that the patient was weak

being laid on his back, his mouth forced

poured into his mouth
While the committee are investigating, we
hope they will go to the bottom, and also
ascertain whether it is true, as claimed, that
persons are confined there who are not in
sane. We notice that this subject is up now
all over the country and some sickening de-
yelopments are being made in other States.
It is evident that me whole system needs re-

The evidence already taken shows that
great cruelty has been practiced upon pa
tients, cruelty that has in some cases caused
death, and John Belts, supervisor of the
branch hospital is the party most RESPONSE
bic for this work, and if the evidence elicit
ed regarding him is fully sustained he de-
serves cell in the State prison. Enough
has been developed already to show that
thorough and complete investigation is de-
manded, and it is to be hoped that the COM
mittee will do their duty that the institution
may be purified.

Brutality Murdered.
LIE Sueur Sentinel.1

It is clearly proven by crediable wit nesses
and not even family explained away by the
hospital authorities, that two inmates of the
hospital, one Mcdonald, from Dakota coun
ty, and one Nancy Kidney, we're brutally
murdered within the past couple of years.
What propriety, is there in a
minister of the gospal, in charge of a church
in St. Peter, acting as trustee, secretary and
treasurer of the hospital? Motives Of de-
icacy, if not the spiritual welfare of his
flock, should overcome such an unseemly
greed to lay up treasurers upon earth instead
of in heaven. With the head of church
holding the positions mentioned, the super
Intending physicians as pillar in the same
church, the brutal supervisor of the branch
hospital drawing salary from the State and
one from this particular church as sexton
and having the wood for the church sawed
by the insane patients, with several of the
most active trustees as members, it woulc
seem as though at St. Peter at least there il
too much blending of church and State.

Belts was always kicking up rows with the
employees, too, and if half the evidence be
true, the committee should simply make
short work with him-either give dose of
penitentiary soup or else give him very
brief period in which to leave the State.
The food furnished the patients has APP
parently been passable, as a general thing,
though the evidence goes to show that on
several occasions it has been simply beastly;
whilst the tea and coffee has been little bet
ter than hot water.
We sincerely trust that the committee may
make clean sweep as to their inveshga-
tions, and see that the class of unfortunates
deserving of the States tenderest care and
sympathy are thoroughly well cared for, and
made thoroughly comfortable SO far as lies
in her power to accomplish that end.
