The Chinese Embassy.
The reception of the Chinese Embassy,
when it arrives in Washington next Sep
tember, will not be quite as elaborate and
gorgeous as it has been stated it would.
The Chinese Ambassador and suite will be
received by the President and his Cabinet
much in the same manner that other for
eign Ambassadors have been heretofore.
The suite Of Chin Ian Pin being larger than
that of any other foreign Minister, there
will necessarily be more people in the room
at the time. The President and his adj
visers are not anticipating any great trouble
in being able to convince the Embassy to
take the same view that they maintain on
the subject of Chinese immigration. 1t is
impossible to tell what their instructions
are on this subject from the home Govern
ment, but it is thought China is opposed to
limitation of the immigration of her peo-
pie to this country. Mr.. Seward, our Min
lister to China, will be here at the time of
the Embassy's visit, and will by his expert
ence be able to facilitate the transaction of
all business between the representatives of
the United States and China.
The Tennessee Democracy.
In conversation last evening the attention
of Postmaster General Key was called to
the statement recently made by Representa-

the case 81 know as much about affairs
down there as Mr.. Blackburn he con-
tinued. THE issue which he referred to
had very little indeed, if any, effect on the
recent elections. The breaking up of the
party down there is due entirely to the fact
that the people are throwing off the party
yoke. They are getting sick and tired Of
BourbOnism.'

SHERMAN,S REPUDIATION.

The Pirate Sherman is in peck of
trouble, and is open to the accusation of be-
ing the champion repudiator of the land.
He and his fellows in Congress clamored for
dollar which should have such bullion
value as would enable it to be used in trade
with foreign countries, and in 1873, in obedi-
ence to these demands, Congress authorized
the issue of the trade dollar. This coin was
made at the United States mlnts, and bore
upon it's face the legend: Omitted States of
America; Trade Dollar together with the
national coat of arms and certificate of its
weight and fineness-"420 grains 900 fine"
1t was this stamp and this certificate that
gave the, trade dollar currency both at home
and abroad as money. The fact is not dis
puted, and had not peculiar value been at
tached to the stamp of the government any
Tom, Dick or Harry in the country might as
we'll have placed his private seal upon the
coin.
Blu. now John Sherman, by the grace of
R. B. Hayes secretary of the treasury, de-
clares that the trade dollar is not money, but
merely bullion; that the stamp Of the gov
eminent upon its face is meaningless
legend; that it is not, as it pretends to be, a
guarantee of the value of the coin. The
people very naturally look at the matter in a
different light, and regard Mr.. sherman's
conduct relative to the coin as rank repudia-
ton. He cannot deny the accusation salts
factorily, except by prevarication. In q re-
cent letter on the subject he says:
In their coinage and issue the department. has
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-09-09

never had any interest or derived any profit.
For the expense Of their coinage the owner of
the bullion reimbursed the government, and
thus ended the connection of the government
with the transaction. At no time and on no
account have they ever been received or paid
out by the treasury, and it is a cause of regret
that 80 many of our people should have ac-
cepted them at their face value, thus enabling
their owners to put them into circulation at a
considerable profit. 4
This is deliberate and inexcusable false
hood. The act authorizing the coinage of
the trade dollars gave them specific, though
a limited, legal tender value, and the gov
eminent did receive them and pay them out
at their face value. Now it refuses to re-
ceive them except as bullion, at ninety cents
on the dollar, and in order to excuse the re-
pudiation Sherman places the government
in the portion of circus manager who
rents his name out to snide show for the
purpose of attracting patronage. The coun-
try ought to be proud of a finance minister
with such keen sense of honor. His pal
try apologies for most disrepatable act
would be laughable if they were not humili-
tating-if they did not make every man feel
ashamed of a government that can for such
slight cause befoul tho currency it has
created and issued.

The only safe way for the people of Mime

thrust himself before the public. His polit-

It is highly important this family of leeches

CROPS IN MINNESOTA.

Douglas County Neaos, Sept. 8: The
wheat crop of Mr.. George Castle, of Hudson,
averaged twenty-five bushels to the acre.
st. Charles Times, Sept. 6: Corn is out
of the way of the frost and the farmers are
cutting it and putting it in shock. This is a
great corn State.
Worthington Advance, Sept. s. It is a
fact worth mentioning, that the farmers in
this vicinity who have stacked their wheat.
are getting much better grade than those
who neglected to do so. AS general thing,
the yield is also much better than an
ticipated.
Detroit Decker county, Record, Aug. 81:
One of Mr.. AL Brooks fields of wheat in
this town averaged twenty-four bushels of
No. l wheat to the acre. Mr.. P. c. Sletten's
farm of eighty acres, six miles west of here,
averaged twenty-five bushels of No. wheat
to the acre.
Cannon Falls Beacon, Sept. 6: Times are
not going to be as bad the com ing season as
many anticipated. Wheat yields better than
it was expected to, and all other grain is far
above an average yield. Corn is being cut,
and better crop never gladdened the hearts
of farmers.
sherburne County Star, Sept. 6: A. j.
Craig, of Livonia, reports the boss yield of
wheat yet. He has just threshed, and says
that one seven-ac field averaged thirty-fve
and one-half bushels, machine measure, of
good, sound wheat to the acre. Can anybody
III the State beat that?
Hastings Union.: One instance of fifty
two pound wheat being made into flour has
been reported to us, and we have sampled
the bread. The flour seems to be as good
as that made from sixty pound wheat,
| though, of course, there is more waste. The
bread is light and white.
Melrose Record, Sept. 6: Frank More
house threshed last week.. His wheat, Lost
Nation, yielded fifteen bushels to the acre,
and oats, twenty-five. August Lindberg
threshed seven acres of wheat and got 142
bushels. He had thirty-seven bushels of
rye and thirty bushels of oats to the acre,
and from one peck of white Russian wheat
sowed last spring he got over five bushels
Lac qui Parle Press: From all returns
and information received, there is sufficient
to indicate that the general average of wheat
will not fail below fifteen bushels to the
acre. This, with an excellent crop of oats,
a fair potato yield, and decidedly good
promise of big corn crop, places Lac qui
Parle county in an enviable position and de-
monstrates beyond possibility of cavil that
it is as safe place for settlers to set their
stakes as any portion of the great North
west.
Fergus Falls Aduocate, Sept. 6: Mr..
Ames, of Alexandria, collecting agent for
Tom Cowing, is continually travelling over
this county, and from the nature of his
business pays particular attention to the
crops. He estimates the average yield for
the county at between twenty and twenty -one
bushels to the acre. 81. M. Wangness,
Trondjhem, has threshed, his wheat yielding
nineteen bushels to the acre, and oats seventy
bushels. Louis Nelson's wheat went seven
teen bushels, and Peter Ifset's twenty three
bushels, both in the neighborhood of Pelican
RAPIDS.

TIE Chicago Times calls attention to the
remarkable discrepancy between Mr.. Hayes
figures as to the currency and those of the
treasury department. 1t says:
Mr.. Hayes estimates the volume of paper
currency in the country in 1866 at S735, 719 265.
The items are probably correct except the last,
namely Treasury notes. compound-interest
notes, and State bank notes, estimated $780,
900, 000." According to the statement recently
prepared at the treasury department, the State
bank circulation alone amounted to $142, 3d.
638 on the 30th of June, 1865. If the treasury
officials are right. Mr.. Hayes must necessarily
be wrong. He should have explained how he
to cover three items. when the treasury depart
ment places one of the items nearly 43 per cent.
higher. If Mr.. Hayes is right, the contraction
of the paper circulation since 1865 has been less
than $4S, 100000, If the treasury department
is right the contraction has been nearly $685.
900, 900. This is pretty large discrepancy to
occur in official statements.
It is almost incredible that Mr.. Hayes
should knowingly prevent the facts, although
some will be uncharitable enough to assert
that, as he was speaking to an anti-contrac-
ton audience, his figures were doctored to
suit. But Mr.. Hayes should not permit such
an imputation to get abroad, and the col
umns of the GLOBE are open for any correc-
ton or explanation he may choose to make.

We are surprised to hear report that
Hon. Ara Barton is talked of as greenback

He was member of the convention that

act. In fact he introduced Mr.. Poeller to
the convention, making neat little speech,
and announcing him (Poehler) as the next
Congressman from the Second District

ON THE SIDEWALK.
Dismissal of Clerks of the Interior De-
partment Without adequate Cause.
Washington Special Sept. 81 to Chicago

Times.
Sixty three clerks in the general land
Office in the interior department received no
tifcation of dismissal to-day, to take effect
on the 18th. The acting chief of the bureau
said to-day that in making removals the rule
that only inefficient employees should be dis
missed was complied with as nearly as pos
sible. He was asked if the entire number
was inefficient. He replied that they were
not; that out of the whole number only ten
were considered inefficient. The rule of in
suftciency failing, the question was asked
what other way was followed in arriving
at what clerks should be discharged. This
he was not able to answer definite
ly, but the fact that those
dismissed were not the most fortunate
in circumstances was apparent when he af-
| terward said that one of those removed had,
only few days ago, sold his watch to send
his widowed mother money to save her from
being turned out of her house. Further in
vestigation developed the fact that the most
efficient and faithful clerks, and clerks with
no other income than their salaries, were
victims, while employees not 80 capable, and
with incomes outside of their salaries, are
retained. Officers of the bureau admit all
this. This leaves the inference to be drawn
that tenure of office depends almost entirely
upon political influence The ostensible
reason given for making the removals is that
the money appropriated by Congress has be-
come exhausted. The appropriation re-
ferred to is $25O,000, made for the purpose
of enabling the bureau to en-
ploy an additional force. This force
was employed temporarily. How
ever, in making the removal many temporary
clerks were retained, while clerks who were
on the regular rolls were discharged. One
of the latter is gentleman VITO has been in
the department for three presidential terms,
and was one of the most faithful and efficient
clerks in the service of the government. He
goes out without any visible means of sup
port. The charges made are not denied by
some of the officers of tho bureau that the
number of clerks dismissed is largely in e1-
cess of the number which it was necessary
should be dismissed in order to keep the ex-
penses of the bureau within the limits of
the public funds. The removals were made,
if it was suggested, to allow good margin
for making new appointments, The whole
thing is counted another exhibition of civil
service reform.

BUFFALO, Sept. THE six days walk be-

tory for the former. 1t has been one of the
gamiest pedestrian struggles on record, and
both men emerged from it with new laurels.
Ennis showed himself to be the speediest
walker of the two from the start, but Russell
made up for this by his consummate staying
powers He struck his gait at the outset and
never varied it, letting Ennis squirt by him
without a struggle. The advantage which the
latter gained by his spurts Russell made up
when his opponent had retired to rest. In this
way they kept close up to each other the whole
distance. Ennis having had the most rest en-
tered the final start fresher than Russell and
won the match, having walked 420 to 4l6 miles
by his opponent.
