Hoc. d. S. Hall Harmed Jen,sison

Glencoe Register.
The Washington correspondent of the St.
Paul Dispatch is of the opinion that D. S.
Hall, of Beaver Falls, the same fiery gentle
man who, at the Red Wing convention one
year ago last fall, SO effectually yanquished
Gen. Jennison, has the inside track in the
race for the register of this Office.
It will be remembered by those who were
present, that Jennison occupied considera-
BILE Of the time of the convention in urging
the claims of the east end of the district, as
against the Minnesota Valley, and waxed
very eloquent in portraying the virtues Of
his favorite candidate for Congress, Mr..
Thatcher. Hall finally got the floor, and
when well warmed up in his defe nse of Ma
jor Strait, Jennison again lifted his tall form
before him and propounded question, to
which Hall replied, .Sit down, Cd d-n
ye!'' Jennison sat down.
If Mr.. Hall receives the appointment OF
receiver at the Benson land office, we think
it must be reward for this speech, and in
harmony with the practical application OF
Hayes civil service reform.
We trust, however, that the DISPATCH cor
respondent is mistaken in his prognostica-
ton. 1t seems to.us that if merit and pecu.
liar fitness for the Office is taken into &C
count, j. @. A. Braden, the acting register
will receive the appointment. From all we
can learn, there is no other land officer in thu
State who better understands the duties O
the Office and performs them SO well as he
He has been in the land Office for the las
four years and has had the entire charge AMI
responsibility.

4 -Pious Legislature.
[Mankato Review. /

The GLOBE says that whatever else may be
thought of the present legislature, one fact
is strikingly apparent, that it is the most
piously inclined body that has ever met with
in the frescoed walls of the Capitol. For
over twenty-five years our territorial and
State Legislatures have annually met in that
building, of which hundreds of our chest
citizens have been members there, too,
has met political conventions of both par
ties; horticultural, agricultural and educa-
tional assemblages, and it seemss to us that
when these facts are considered, our metro
poGtan contemporary is drawing it fully
strong.
We hope it is not confined ito the obser-
vance of outward forms of piety,'' but is the
true, genuine article, never used as cloak
for evil purposes, but is carried into every
thought, word and act of life. For one we
are inclined to be suspicious, when this term
is applied to a Minnesota legislature, and
that, too, constituted of men who at home
have the general reputation of being shrewd
politicians, and successful manipulators.
Piety is a virtue not often associated with
politics and the existence of the latter COM
modify to any reasonable degree is pretty
sure indication that the former is woefully
deficient. We see in every day life too much
of outward forms, and too little of the gen.
uine article. Now, when our youthful and
inexperienced contemporary talks about piety
in connection with Minnesota legislature
for one we are suspicious, end would suggest
to the governor and his associates to keer
more than usual vigilance over the treasury
and other valuables about the capitol, fol
unless we are greatly mistaken Job or 6
swindle is at the bottom of it.

Oi,ne Being Unearthed.
Sooner or later, under three separate at
tacks the house and the country is likely to
get at the truth in regard to the real expen-
ditures of the pay of the navy under Robe
son, that convenient appropriation on which
SO many extravaganza drafts were made ely
mer, in charge of the naval appropriation
bill, has declined to report it till he has an
answer from the navy department. as to the
amount spent during the last fiscal year on
each item of pay of the navy in all its sub
divisions of sea service, on leave, furlough
pay, and other forms of naval service. The
returns from the treasury department show
that over $8,OOO,0O0 has been appropriated
to the pay of the navy for the last fiscal
year, or million and a quarter more than
Robeson's estimates footed, and it is under
stood that further demand for three-quar-
tiers of million, TO right the deficiency in
the last fiscal year, yet remains to be made.
1t is now nearly two months since Clymer
first addressed his letter asking for informa-
ton of the navy department. He has re-
ceived no answer, but as he remains firm in
his determination to report no bill until he
receives an answer, he is tolerably certain to
have the information at last. Whithorne's
committee on naval affairs will shortly begin
active operations along the same line which
he occupied so successfully two years ago,
and has received much encouragement from
the secretary of the navy on the subject.
Among the contracts which Willis has

INOPPORTUNE ME.

Tor the Thursday Night Fire-Addition.
The alarm of fire which occurred at 1890
Thursday night, brief account of which was
published in the GLOBE of yesterday, came
at a very inopporuune moment for the plea
sure of our gallant firemen. It was the night
of the tenth anniversary Of the organization
of the Department, and the boys of numbers
siderable expense in making arrangements
to give their friends cordial welcome At
No. the dancing was in progress, and the
company and invited guests had just about
worked up healthy appetite for the pro-
spective frman's lunch when
1.-The bangeing and the changing of the BELLS
notified them that business must be attended
to before pleasure, and they left the COM
pany of sweethearts and wives to fight fire
the remainder of the night.
AT Number 9, the banquet was finished
and Aldermen Glenn and Watt were in pro-
cess of airing their eloquence, when the
alarm cut short their municipal eloquence,
and left an unborn speech to torment them
in their dreams.
The confagration lasted until four o'clock
morning, as the fuel was furnished by a
large amount of coopers's stock which was
stored in the shop, such as barrel slaves,
headings, and hoop poles.
The fire was thought to be the work of an
incendiary. It was insured in the agency of
E. B. Ames of this city, in the following
companies: shawmet 5000; Queens $1,000,
Traders $3.50; franklin Of Phila-
delphia about $1,000. About
$1,000 was on the buildings, and the re-
mainder on stock. There were 80 sets of
cooper's tools in the shops, worth on an
average 1922 per set. Of this number IS sets
were destroyed, and were entirely unin-
sured.
From some unaccountable cause there was
no alarm given for several minutes after the
flames were visible all over the
city. The first company on
the ground was Hose No. 5, whose house is
located within three or four squares of the
scene of the fire, and this company was also
the last to leave, at 1880 yesterday morning
The entire West Division Department was
engaged part of the night to prevent the
flames from spreading. 1t is thought, aside
from the tools destroyed, that the insurance
will fully cover the losses.
Mr.. Anson, the proprietor of the shop wa.
in Chicago and did not hear of his misfor
tune until yesterday morning. The shoI
had contracts for furnishing barrels to Bar
Der & Son of Cataract Mills Ankeny's Gal
axy mills; Petit, Robinson & Co.'s mill, anl
the old Washburne mills. Its capacity was
from 800 to 1000 barrels per day, and thu
number of men employed was from seventy
five to ninety. At the time of the fire abou
eighty men were employed.
1t will probably be but a temporary incon
venience to the coopers, as the increased de
nland for barrels on other shops will Great,
an increased demand for men to make them
and it will be but day or two before tn
entire number will be engaged in other man
ufactories.
Seven or eight car loads of stock had Jus
been received, and was destroyed.

No Report from, South Carolina.

Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, has aban-
doned the idea of making any report to Con-
gress of the investigation he conducted Of
the South Carolina election. A report was
prepared from the evidence taken by the
clerk of the committee at Cameron's direc-
ton, The report was mangled and garbled
in an atrocious manner, sensational headlines
were interspersed throughout the document,
and parts of evidence disproving some of the
worst campaign stories ever circulated for
election purposes in South Carolina were
omitted from the report. When this docu-
ment was presented to Senator Christiancy
he read it and promptly declined to sign it.
Senator Merriman, the only Democratic
member of the committee, was never shown
the report. Mr.. Cameron, after Mr.. Chris
tiancy's refusal to sign the report, wisely
concluded not to attempt to present it to
Congress.
