IT is now no longer question of doubt

IT is now no longer question of doubt
that war between England and Afghanis-
tan is an event of the near future. The
British forces are already marshalled in
large numbers on the Indian frontier, and
only await orders to march forward and take
possession of the capital of Sheer Ali. 1t is
the desire of the British cabinet, however,
to make it an Indian rather than an imperial
war, and to leave it's conduct entirely with
the viceroy, SO as to avoid any European
complications. How far they will succeed
in this, time alone can tell. The antagonism
of Russia may be aroused, and thus another
war precipitated that will devastate two con
tinents. If it comes, as come it must some
time, it will be decisive and settle forever
the question of the supremacy of the lion
or the bear in both Europe and Asia.

SQUEEZING OF THE RING.

Another statement of the Pioneer. Press is
the following:
We have in mind an instance of two gentlemen
who went up along the line of the st. Paul & Pacific
to buy $4,000 bushels of wheat to fill an order when
HIn, "no offered to transfer them the
wheat deslred in order to avoid competition viii
would have raised the price.
Wo are informed by the general agent that
no such occurrence has transpired since he has
been IN Office; and that it is the strict policy
and practice of the association to enter into
partnership or collision with nobody in the
purchase of wheat-M inneapohs Tribune.
Ihls denial is on par with the statement
that Washburn is not member of the Mil
lers association. The general agent says .no
such occurrence has transpired since he has
been IN c6ice." The present agent has only
been in office little over year, while the
occurrence in question transpired about
eighteen months ago. About the same time
Boston buyer entered the field, and he
was not compromised with but was
run off. There are no other buyers on the
Main Line of the st. Paul Il Pacific save
those employed by the Minneapolis ring.
Nineteen-twentieths of the wheat is bought
by that ring, and without any competition
whatever, because no one can compete with
such a combination.

W4ASHBURN ONE OF THE WHEAT
RING

RING.
The list of original organizers of the Min
neapolis Millers' Association, published in
yesterdays GLOBE, shows that w. D. Wash
burn was interested in the ring at the very
outset. His partners, Messrs. Christian and
Hazard, were enrolled as the active members
of the association. That is the small hole
through which the Washburn organs en-
deavor to creep, but it will deceive no one.
This Millers' Association, OF Washburn
wheat ring, is organization composed of
representatives of all of the Touring
mills in Minneapolis. Every mill is a mem
Der of the association by some representa-
tive. The Washburns owned the two largest
mills in the city, and Mr.. Christian repre-
sented one mill in the association or ring,
and Mr.. Hazard the other. The wheat ring
was first suggested by WASN'T urn and his
brother, and they put these men forward as
the active representatives. The assertion
that Washburn is not a member of the asso-
citation is simply an unauthorized lie, known
to be such by Bill King, Dave Blakely
and their subordinates. The great mills in
which he is interested have a membership
and he cannot, for political, or any other
purpose, disassociate himself from them
The loop hole is too small and the lie too
transparent.
The Washburns being the largest con-
sumers in the State have heavier interest
than anyone else in the 'ring." But for
them the original "ring' would not have
been formed.
In the same breath with which the organs
falsely deny Washburn's membership in the
ring, they defend the Miller's Association
and declare it has never done wrong. II
this is the case, if this association
is paragon of virtue, why
seek to conceal Washburn's connection
Herewith? He ought to be proud of it. He
ought to advertise that he, Bill Washburn
the Wheat Shylock, was the benefactor of
the farmer by forming this association and
shutting out all competition. We are sur
prised that he should seek by falsehood to
disassociate himself from such a gang of
wheat philanthropists as compose his
''ring."

coNKLING,s soPHIsrR1Es.

Once every twelve months, as regularly as
the years 60 by, the Hon. Roscoe Conkling
delivers himself of 'sthe greatest effort of
his life.'' The ssgreatest efort'' of the
most recent date was that of Thursday be-
fore the Republican convention at Saratoga
From the outgivings of his personal organ
and the hints of the press dispatches we have
been given to understand that Mr.. Conkling
has been parturient for several months. But
like the mountain in labor, the result is not
as astonishing as might have been antici-
pated. It is specious, sophistical plea for
gold standard in values, and an attempt to
undermine the credit of the government in
its paper currency. It is a plea for the
bondholders- an effort to VIII edle the people
of the country into the adoption of policy
that will enable the blood-suckeEs, who have
SO long fattened at their expense, to retain
their hold and still further impoverish the
laboring classes, the source of all wealth
though unfortunately the possessors of little.
Conkling is the apologist for and the
champion of the money power of the land.
Himself an aristocrat, apeing the manners
and aspiring to the modes of life in vogue
in the old world, it is perfectly natural that
he should fly to the defense of the only aris-
tocracy we have here, that of wealth. The
men who flew to the rescue of the govern
ment in the time of its greatest peril by
purchasing its obligations at a ruinous dis
count are to him the beau ideals of patriots
the very embodiment of the patriotic i'm.
pulse He finds his support among
these men, and it is therefore his
first ambition to serve them. But
his sophistries are too transparent, his
special pleading too manifestly interested,
to influence the mass of the people for
whom they are intended.
Confessing that business is depressed and
honorable labor is suffering, Mr.. Conkling
proceeds to demonstrate how these evils can
be overcome by honoring the plighted faith
of the nation-to bondholders. He de-
nounces the issue of large mass of ire
deemable paper currency as likely to in
crease the evils of which we now complain.
On this point we will not take issue with
him except to remark that no one wants an
unlimited issue of currency, and it is a gross
Misrepresentation of the Democratic and
National parties to charge them with a de-
sire to initiate the currency to greater ex-
tent than is absolutely required
by trade He says that ssthe gov
eminent and American people in Con
gress assembled said when they asked
money for bonds that not more than
$400,O00,000 of legal tenders should be out
standing. This was to say the bonds shonld
never be paid by legal tender notes. This
pledge obtained the money, and there it
stands to be kept in honor or repndiated in
dishonor.' The government and people
made no such pledge as that not more than
$4OO, 100000 of legal tender notes should be
outstanding with the implication that the
bonds should not be paid in legal tender
notes. The amount was fixed by CONGRESS-
under the superstition that that amount in
addition to the national bank notes and 7.3O
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-09-28

bonds then in circulation, would be sufficient
for the requirements of trade. The man
ner of the payment of the bonds did not
enter into the question at ALL That amount
would probably have been sufficient for the
country for several years to come, but the
circulating medium was contracted by the
retirement of $142, 100000 of 7:30 treasury
| notes, and by the further retirement of
$52,000O00 of greenbacks. The national
bank circulation has also been reduced, and
stringency caused that has brought great
disaster to the commercial world of America.
Mr.. Conkling admits the right of the gov
eminent to maintain $780, 100000 of green
backs in circulation. If that issue is legal a
further issue to take the place of the ma
tional bank notes would be equally legal. It
would be we'll, too, if his anxiety for the well
fare of the bonds should extend to the green
backs, for they are no less an obligation of
the government than the Understanding
debt. He can find excuses for debasing
| these obligations, which are held by the great
mass of the people, but flies to arms at the
mere suggestion that the few rich bondhold-
ers should be obliged to accept the currency
of the people in payment of the interest or
principal of their bonds. The property of
| the industrial classes is liable to reputation
at any moment, but the property of the
money aristocrats is too sacred for molesta-
ton. They must be protected from loss
| though all others should suffer impoverish-
ment. The obligations of the government
are only sacred and payable in gold when
they are held by the rich. The whole burden
of Mr.. Conkling's address may be summed
| up in the prayer: "God bless the rich; the
poor may starve.'

An Lndt0ntdn Beaten to DEATH IN HIS Bed.

quirer.
From Mr.. A. j. Noe we obtain the follow
ing particulars of one of the most fiendish
murders on record, perpetrated near New
Washington, Clark county, twenty miles be-
low this city, Sunday night. The victim
was John Boyd, a stone mason, whose wife
died about two weeks ago, leaving him with
several little children. Saturday night, while
he and his little ones were in bed, a number
of masked men entered his house, and as
saulted Boyd with clubs, beating him most
brutally, and leaving him for dead BOYD.
however, was tough, and rallied from his
insensible condition.
On Sunday m orning some of his neigh
bors, hearing Of his condition, came in and
dressed his wounds. His children, like
frightened young qua1ls, came timidly back
to the parental nest at night, and under the
impression that the heartless brutes who
had made the attack had done their worst,
retired again. But the human fends (and
they become numerous i'll country where
naurderers are regarded semi-heroic)
again broke into the home in the
midst of the night, and while the lit
tie ones ones fled through the windows the
murderers fell upon their helpless victim and
beat him with heavy bludgeons until long af-
ter he was dead-crushed his skull and broke
his bones, and left his mangled body for his
little children to return to and contemplate
during the remainder of the night.
The neighbors Monday morning called in
and prepared the remains for burial-and it
may be presumed consoled the little orphans
by reminding them that they lived in Indiana.
Why the outrage was perpetrated seems to
be mystery. 1t was not done for money, as
Mr.. Boyd was mechanic and had no money,
nor had he, so far as is known, done any
thing to provoke such an attack. But what
ever may be assigned as the cause, it was
most heinous and damnable murder

MILWAUKEE CHANGERS
Capitalists of the City Possessing Them
setces of the Northern Pacific Wheat

LQJldS.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
During the early months of the present
year party of MiIwaukeeans, consisting of
Mayor Black, Guido Pfster, Matthew Keen
an and Elias Friend, entered into a combi-
nation for the purchase of lands along the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad, in the
great northern wheat belt. Hon. Anton
Klaus, formerly of Green Bay, through
whose representations the combination was
formed, undertook the selection and loca-
ton of the lands from among those thrown
upon the market by the railway corporation.
He traversed the territory from which seiec-
tons were made, both foot and horse
back, and as the result of his labors the Mil
waukeeans find themselves owners of 5000
acres of excellent wheat producing prairie
land, situated between five and ten miles
from jamestown, a point halfway etween
Bismarck and Fargo, which lie 1874 miles
apart. These lands were disposed of by the
railway corporation at about So per acre.
This might be considered high figure but
for the fact that preferred stock of the COM
pany was accepted in payment, and that this
preferred stock cost the Milwaukeeans at
the low rat of II cents on the dollar. Mr..
Klaus, who located at Fargo, where he Ss-
tablsshed himself as land agent, represents
the land to be of the most fertile character
containing surface depth of from two to
four feet of loan, with clay subsoil. Most
of it borders on the Pipestone river, and
has numerous streams of pure water cours-
Ing through it. Besides, good water can also
be secured at any point by sinking wells a
depth of only fifteen or eighteen feet. 1t is
the intention of the Milwaukee combination
to sell the lands above referred to to actual
settlers at the price established by the gov
eminent, $3.50 per acre.
An examination of a map prepared by
MIR. Klaus for the information of the parties
shows also that Chas B. Clark, of this city
has interested himself in these lands to the
extent of one section of $40 acres, secured
by purchase from the company, and ano. her
section or two selected from the government
lands under the ''tree claim provision OF
the homestead act, which makes it necessary
to plant certain number of trees each year
on the land chosen, in order to perfect the
title to it,
The plan of the Northern Pacific Railway
company, to accept preferred stock in pay
ment for the lands thrown upon the market
has thus far worked satisfactorily at least tc
the extent of advancing the shares to twenty
cents and upwards on the dollar. At the last
named figure acre of land can be bought
from the company for about So cents, while
the government demands and receives $3.50
"a difference of $1.55 per acre that is worth
saving in large as well as small purchases. as
it makes mans capital cover considerable
additional area of territory when invested.
