Mrs. Wentz had grand opening OF
millinery goods on Thursday. Her
store, No. I'll Market street, was crowd,
cd both afternoon and evening, by Ia
dies who were examining her beautiful
bonnets, and their commendaton OF
the new styles must have been highly
gratifying to the enterprising proprie-
tress. The display will continue 'o-day
and tomorrow and as the prices are
very reasonable her sales will doubtless
be- very large.

The Tariff.

MEssRs. EDITORS Can you inform
me what are the Democratic principles'
Mr.. Martin, at the Opera House, said
he was in favor of a tariff. Last night
at the meeting at Delaware City, Mr..
J. H. Myers said the party will achieve
its success two years hence on the prin-
ciples Of hard money, free trade and
States rights, and by these principles
only can it win. This plan Of tariff in
Wilmington and free trade below was
preached in 1874. Now | would appeal
to the working men in our boat yards
and rolling mills to have nothing to do
with such party. The Democratic
party is opposed to a protective tariff,
and in favor of admitting foreign ves-
sells to American registry, which would
cause the grass to grow in every ship
yard in the country. This is no idle
picture. No man Of common sense can
deny this. When you vote for the
Democratic party you are voting away
your bread and butter. | would ask
you, is 1t ignorance that makes men
Republicans Show me more than one
or two small shops carried on by Demo-
Gratis. Nearly all are carried on by Re-
publicans. Follow the Christiana, then
90 up the Brandywine, all are Republi-
cans.
Now if it is the interest of the man
ufacturers to he Republicans the inter
est of the laborer are identical. If fbus.
mess is good for the manufacturers the
wages are correspondingly high. |
would ask the citizens to think of this
before casting their votes for the Demo-
cratic party. Vote for the only party
who are in favor OF a protectv" tariff.
and that is the Republican party. The
Democrats said that Polk was as good
t,riff man as Clay. They lied as they
now lie. WoRKINGMAN.

The EASTERN storm.

CINCINNATI, Sept. l4-Advices from great
number of points in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia indicate that the storm of the
past two days was the most severe for years.
The destruction to railroad property is es-
pecially heavy. Washouts OF culverts and
bridges have caused railroad travel on many
roads to cease entirely. The storm seems to
have expended its greatest force in I he interior

CURED. An extra train ran into slide
near Barbnursville, w. Va, breaking

Roberts, brakemen, were scalded. The
two latter died. Engineer John Mulcahy was
order ed from Comedian with o receipt Be-
fore he had proceeded two miles he ran into
washout. causing his instant death. The k
nawha river is higher than the food of 1861
and still rising, overlooking Charleston and /,
great portion of the Kanawha valley, sweeping
with it the steamer Advance under construc-
ton at Hinlon, and numberless RATS of lum-
Der and logs. dispatch states that bridge
number forty at Reeds Mills, on the Pan Han
die route, was washed away and freight COM
ing east plunged into the stream and badly
wrecked. Engineer Burke and fireman Nc
C"rmick have not been found, and it is feared
they are buried beneath the locomotive
Much damage and loss to farming property has
also been reported. At Albany, O., Elmir Arm
strong's farm was flooded and over fifty sheep
drowned. The corn crop is pretty extensively
flooded in large number of places. At Quaker
City, Ohio, the town was flooded. At many
places the citizens were compelled to move to
the second stories Of their houses.

motion was adopted that the valuation of
Big Stone be fixed at about 1918 per acre
when returned. and that Cass county be the
same as Lake county when returned.
Kittson county was fixed at $3.50.
CHANGE OF SYSTEM.
The following resolution offered by Mr.. Hay
den was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That whereas, in cxaming and
equalizing the valuation Of real and personal
property in the State. the State board of equal
izaton have found their labors greatly in
creased and complicated by the apparently
loose and inefficient manner in which the as.
sessment of property is made in most of thu
towns, and believing that great saving OF
labor to the State and local boards of eqnaliza-
ton, as we'll as saving of expense to the tax
payers, and more just and equal valuation OF
property can be effected thereby, would respect
fully ask the Leg slature to SO amend tn
Office Of assessor as to make each county al
assessment district and provide for an asse, 80.
in each district to be appointed by the distric'
judge, the auditor and register of deeds
each county for term Of years, thereby max
ing the Office one of such i'm portance and dura.
ton that persons appointed thereto can affort
tOqualify themselves to perform the duties in
diligently and efficiently.
EQUALIZATION MAPS.
The following, offered by Mr.. Dawson, was
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the legislature be recon-
mended to pass law whereby it shall be pre-.
scribed that it shall be the duty of each county
auditor to cause to be made and laid befor,
the county boards of equalization al
their biennial sessions, real estate
equalization maps showing the assessment
made upon each forty acres of land in each
county, together with the assessed valuation OF
town. village. and city lots, for the two years
prior to said assessment and also for the as
sessment year then under consideration.
On motion of Mr. Whitcomb, Blue Earth
Faribault, and Wabashaw were excepted from
tho operation Of Mr.. Lemicke's resolution in
reference to assessment of town, village, and
city property, and that said property be raised
in accordance with the ratio prescribed for said
counties.
There being no further business to come be-
fore the board an adjournment without day
was had.
Owing to the lateness of the hour the board
adjourned. No calculation has yet been made
as to the result of the changes made from the
returns of assessors. It can be stated. how
ever, as rule, the changes were to higher
valuation. The aggregate valuation of the real
estate of the State as returned was in round
numbers $l65, 100000, and of personal
property $54, 100000 giving total of $4,000,
900. A rough estimate, but probably nearly
correct, makes the total increase in the valua-
ton of real estate by the equalizing process Of
the board, 25,OO0,0O0 and Of personal
property $6,000,O00; total $3l, ZOO, 00O which
would give the aggregate real estate and per.
sonal property valuation of the State ut $3.50,
600, 900 in round numbers.

The Rev. Kerr's Intricate Bookkeeping
Further illustrated = His Qualifications
for Steward of the Branch Hospital Very
Apparent-Strait's Campaign Vouchers.
The investigating committee met yesterday
morning at the capitol at 8 o'clock. As the
vouchers and accounts which refer to the build
ing committee were all in order and arranged
there was little or nothing for the majority of
them to do till such time as the reverend sec
rotary and treasurer shall respond to the sum-
mons of the chairman. Consequently Senator
Drew left for home to return on Monday
Senators Doran and Morton withdrew
to make some important inquiries relative
to some financial matters which attracted their
notice the previous day. Senator Rice and
Secretary Smith continued with the general ac-
counts and monthly returns filed with the State
auditor. Mr.. Dryer, as the committee did not
require his assistance, also returned home to
st. Peter. He will be back again for Tuesdays
proceedings, SO as to explain anything which
comes up with which he is familiar and to lend
his experience where difficulties arise.
In arranging and tabula,ing the vouchers
whenever one was met with referring to script
it was put on one side, Several
of bookkeeping Numbers were found dupli-
Gated. and many we're posted under different
numbers from those borne on their backs, and
some vouchers were found filed with the audi
tor which were not entered ON the hooks at all.
Completer confusion in accou, is it would be
difficult to imasine, and it required not a little
patience and perseverance to form anything
like an Ineligible understanding of them. But
there were matters which it is doubtful that even
the clever parson fnancier wi be able to make
clear. For November, 1870, there is series of
vouchers numbered geo. ETC.; but after $50 they
run $780, SCI, 562. Now it happens that there
are other vouchers numbered $50, SCI. 562. and
only one of the duplicate numbers finds place
in the secretary's books. 1t is evident that the
latter series, $50, SCI, 562 should be ego, 66l
and 662, there being clerical error. But again
there is another voucher marked gel. and an
other 662; the two marked 66l are for $3.50 and
$3. 900, and the two marked 662 are for $37 and
$1,591.19.
But the large sums Mr.. Smith could not find
catered in the books. Again, voucher $50,
Miller & Runkle, $500, is not to be found,
but au entry is on the books for $15.O6 (Mil-
Ter & Runkle) marked No. $50. There were
met with many such entries as these, while a
little matter Of $4.59l.l9 the secretary has not
yet been able to discover entered in ledger OF
journal. The above will give some idea Of the
high qualifications the zevesand secretary pos.

In Fusion Lies Success.

The Democrats of the Third district did
very proper and judicious thing in laying
aside past prejudces and uniting with the
Nationals in nominating Ignatius Donnelly
for Congress against ". D. Washburn. The
question now arises, will the Nationals of
Minneapolis do an equally just and proper
thing by letting all minor differences rest,
and uniting with Democrats in the nomina-
ton and election of county officers? If they
will it will pave the way for solid COM
pact party in the future; if they
do not it will simply retain the power
and emoluments where they have been for
years past, and serve the purpose of retain
Ing the same old ring of rats in the county
offices. The Democrats are willing to deal
fairly and equitably b, the Nationals if the
Nationals manifest any disposition to meet
them half way. But if they prefer division,
it will be nothing new for the Democrats to
suffer defeat, and they can afford it all the
better because they have got used to it..
Come together. gentlemen, and talk matters
over calmly, then if there can be no fusion on
local matters, let there be no fusion any
where.

WAsHISGToN, Sept. 14.-The September re-
turns to the department of agriculture give the
average condition of the crop at so,
against Sc in August. 1t is slightly above the
condition reported in September 1877 which
was 81. The crop held its own in the northern
portion Of the Atlantic slope and on the Pacif-
&c coast. 1t slightly improved in the States
north Of the Ohio, but fell off 10 per cent. in
States west of the Mississippi. The Southern
States as whole fell off about 8 per cent OF
921 counties reporting, 25l were q full average,
278 above, and 39l below.
September returns indicate an average of 81
in the wheat crop against 8. in September, 1877.
The reduction is mostly due to disasters to the
spring wheat crop in the West. preliminary
examination of the returns of the acreage in
dictate that the breadth shown in 1873 was
about one sixteenth greater than in 1877. This
will more than compensate for the loss from
decline in condition. and may probably bring

JYIat is the NecessitU?

IF any one can give good and sufficient
reason why the little nest of officers at the
Court House should be paid from 81 900 to
$1,000 per annum each for looking after
public duties, when men of equal or superior
talent are content to serve private parties for
from 81, 500 to So 500 for the performance
of duties equally arduous, the GLOBE will be
glad to hear them. Take, for instance, the
Register of Deeds and Clerk of the Court
The duties of these officials are purely
clerical, and require only mod
crate degree of ability. The
present incumbents are pleasant
enough gentlemen, but in private business
men of their capacity would be-thousands
of them are-gad to obtain from $4,000
down for their services.
Let US look at it for moment. Leading
lawyers in this city, men who have spent
long, laborious years in acquiring proficiency
in their calling, are considered doing re-
markably we'll if, by the closest attention to
business they can realize SS3, 900 to $4 900
per annum. The largest salary paid to any
clergymen in the city, we understand, is
only $4,000. Our superintendent of public
schools, probably as able man as
ceiges So, 500 salary and no perquisites. No
book keeper or chief clerk in any of the
many wholesale houses of this city receives
more than So 500 salary; while more than
half the business men in Minneapolis would
be glad to know that they were receiving
$4,000 clear from their business.
Now, it is well known that the register
and clerk of the court draw from their offices
from M O0O to $1,000 Dar annnm Thew
belong to the Court House dinasty,
and by judicious use of their
earnings they are enabled to
retain their clutch upon those positions and,
when sufficiently wealthy to retire from bus
mess. dictate their SUCCESSORS.
One judicious thing can be done by the
approaching county conventions Demo
cratic, National and Republican, and that is,
to pledge every man nominated for the leg
isiature to q thorough revision of the laws
governing the county offices. At present
the county auditor (whose incumbent has for
four years been q Democrat) is the least
paid for the work he is compelled to do, of
all the county officers.
We have selected the clerk of the court
and register of deeds for no invidious rea-
sons. They are both pleasant, suave, sweet
faced, smooth tongued, well-meanipg men,
but if you will throw drag-net into Har-
woods dry goods store, OF Newell d Har-
rison's wholesale grocery, you would be
liable to capture twenty-four men of equa
intellectual and business capacity, half OF
whom are proud of receiving $1,000 pei
annum salary.
The GLOBE will give figures in day. Of
two, and let the conventions then do theil
duty.
