a Republican Paper Denonnces Hin, fo,.
CratclinJ out Of a Small Hole.
Stevens Count; Tribune-Rep.l
Under the heading of "The Whole Case
Stated, the Minneapolis Tribune says: "The
farmers ought to understand that while there
are undoubtedly wrongs being committed,
it is not the Mlllers' association, but the
Elevator company or its agents who commit
them" 1t also states that Of its own kuowl-
edge. it is unable to say what the grade actu-
ally is, and that s'the millers are receiving
from the points where tie complaints are
made, scarcely any No. 3 wheat: and also
adds that they are told and believe that
the wheat to the farmer is graded nearly
all Nos. and A. Elsewhere we give
the figures, showing the amount. of wheat
received and how it graded. These figures
are correct, and We're taken from the ele-
vator ticket books. and show that tickets were
issued to that amount ana for those grades.
If the Minneapolis Tribune would take the
trouble to look into this business they would
hnd that the tickets issued during the year
must correspond exactly in weights and
grades with the wheat delivered to purchaser.
II the tickets were issued for No. 3, and
wheat shipped as-No. 2, there would be q
wonderful difference In the books, and the
miilers would have No. to their credit, and
get No. delivered to them. This state of
affairs could not exist without tie millers be-
ing cognlzant of the fact, and if they we're so.
they would have to be in collision with the
elevator company. But how is it? An eIe-
,yrtOr agent gets commission for handlino
the wheat; If he lose, grade or is short on
weight, he pays for it; if he overuns on
weights or grade, he gets nothing for his

trouble. This rule was established
By the Elevator company for the sole pur-
pose of preventing dishonesty on the part
OF Its agents. Now here are facts and
ngures in regard to the wheat business. The
accounts on the books at the elevators show,
that OF the amount received the miilers have
purchased: No. 1, 1900 bushels; No. 2, TO-
ooo bushels; No. 3, $50 bushels; No. 4, 70
., The foregoing figures are up to
Sept. 18th, and show conclusively that the
assertions of the Tribune are false. The
farmers do understand chat there are
wrongs committed and though we have
not, be retofore, thought the millers to blame,
we are now decidedly of the opinion that
there is "nigger in the fence" and think
that tn re is big steal by them, on the prices
paid for low grades. If Washburn's cause
is SO desperate, that he and his associates,
through their organ, must lay the blame for
alleged frauds on entirely innocent parties,
it is high time the people knew it. This
outrageous libel will not create one vote for
Washburn, but will convince the people of
the district, that the Minneapolis ring are
trying to crawl out of very small hole

little Falls Transcript. !

Gov. Marshall referred in his speech to
the Congressional contest in this district,
and was, of course, heavy supporter of
Washburn. He proceeded to explain that
Washburn is not responsible for the opera
tons of the Minneapolis Millers' association,
and that the association has dealt fairly and
justly by the farmers. Unfortunately, after
he had finished defending the Millers' asso-
citation he stated that Washburn had honest
" paid ali the obligations held against him
at the time he made an assignment of his
property several years ago, and that all
workingmen in his employ at that time were
paid cash in full. There were several per-
sons present who knew by personal ex-
perience that the speaker was mistaken, and
as he had expressed desire for an.
person to make such remarks as they
wished, two or three persons briefly referred
to the fact that they and others within their
knowledge had lost from 40 to 60 per cent.
of dues for work they had done for Wash
burn. The Governor at once asserted, with
evident anger, that he was ready to under
take to prove any man a liar who asserts that
Washburn had not paid in full every honest
bill for work that had been presented to
him. This was equivalent to calling some
Of our best citizens liars, and the ill-feeling
IN the audience was intense. Col. Kerr and
Mr.. Searle afterwards spoke at some length
on the political issues, and their evident
candor aud able remarks did much to allay
the i'll feeling that had been aroused at the
close of the Governors speech. But the
moment the speaking was ended one or two
persons arose and commenced to tell when,
where and how they had been swindled by
Washburn. The Governor replied with
growing anger, and the audience arose and
begun to dispense to avoid hav-
ing disgraceful row. At this
point w. L. Lambert. treasurer of
Morrison county, and several other leading
and Influential men in this community, went
up to the speakers stand and stated to the
Governor that they bad only been able to
collect part of what Washburn owed the;::
for labor and logs when he made the assign
ment, and they were willing to bring sworn
witnesses to the Governor then and there to
substantia,e the truth of their assertions.
The utmost confusion prevailed, and some
one proposed three cheers for Donnelly, and
the cheers were given with astonishing viger.
The crowd then went to the Vasaly House,
and the Governor there reiterated his state
ment that he was "ready to undertake to
prove any person liar.'' etc. Nearly every
body: irrespective of party, strongly con
demned HIM for the course he took. j. Root,
who ran last fall on the Republican ticket
for sheriff in this county, said that if the
Governor had applied the term '.liar'' to him
III the same manner as he did to those who
claimed to have been swindied by Washburn,
Le could not have restrained himself from
doing the Governor personal violence.

Under the head of ':Squelched,' tho st.

gusto the card of Washbnrn's assignees stat
ing that his employees were paid IN full at
the time of his failure AS the i. p. is a
land officer of course it is in duty bound to
throw in little abuse of the GLOBE. It ap
pears that Gov. Marshall grew quite excited
a few evenings ago in asserting that Wash
burn paid his employees in full. Like the
Journal Press, he felt Obliged
to denounce as liars all who
differed with him. Unfortunately for the
Governor there were some of Washburn's
-swlndled laborers present at his meeting and
they thought they knew something on the
subject. They promptly interrupted him
and informed him that they received from
40 to 60 cents on the dollar and no more.
chen the Governor became fairly beautiful
i'll his rage and denounced these victims of
Washburn's infamous swindles as liars.
That isian easy way of settling a dispute,
though not always safe one, but strange
asit may seem, it did not convince the PEG
pie of Little Falls where the 'liar'' meeting
Was held, and the swindled workmen still OBJ
st,nately insi that they didn't get Their
money. Of course Marshall and the j. p.
know better than The victims.
The GLOBE has repeatedly asked tie
assignees of Mr.. Washburn to give de-
tailed statement of settlement, and again
renews the request. The GLOBE will take
pleasure in printing it complete.

a CONTRAST.

Some of the strikers and blowers for Mai.
Strait in the Second district are endeavorine
to nse the fact of his vote in Congress for
Gen. Shields for the position of doorkeeper
of the House among voters of the Irish
nationality to aid his candidacy for re-elec-
ton. Unfortunately for the Major, Mr..
Poebler has great advantage over him even
on this narrow platform. The vote of
Major Strait for Gen. Shields was gwen in
pursuance of a trick of the Republican
minority of the House, and with no expecta-
ton or desire of comforting benefit or honor
upon the gallant old soldier. Mr..
Poehler, however, as member Of the MIN
nesota House of Representative from Sibley
county, showed his appreciation of the abili-
ty and sterling integrity of Gen. Shields, by
helping to elect him to the no orable posi-
ton of United States Senator from Mime
sofa. The difference in the conduct of
Strait and Poehler in the matter is that
Strait, in pursuance of a political trick, gave
Gen. Shields buncombe vote, while Poehler
gave him his vote when it bestowed honor
upon the recipient. Strait must indeed be
getting badly scared when be resorts to such
contemplate means as this to aid his candi-
dacy.

d. 3. Strait has now served five years in
Congress, and we should like to know what
he has done for the people of tins district
that entities him to a fourth term in Con-
gress. Certainly if o man has any ability at
all to start with, five years. association with
many of the leading minds of the country
ought to give him some knowledge of public
matters. But the truth is, Strait is too small
a man to make a good Congressman of, and
knowing this himself, he has spent most of
his time around the departments counting
appointments and small favors for those of
his Republican constituents that he can
use to keep him in Congress. To
be sure, he has secured annual appropria-
tons of the peoples money in sums of
$4,000 and $4,000 year to remove snags
from the Minnesota river, that are hauled
out on the banks to wash in the next year,
and yet there are not dozen steamboat
trips made on the river during any wear.
He has also done the simple routine duty of
recommending mail routes and securing the
appointment of his friends as postmasters,
Internal revenue collectors, land officers, etc.,
as rewards for sending him to Congress, and
etter than all, BIO has been very industrious
III sending garden and field seeds broadcast
over his district, where he thought they
would 'sdo the most good'' for Strait. These
seeds are paid for with the peoples tax s
who send Strait to Congress, and with these as
with the postotfices, mail routes, and II else,
he simply gives the people back part of
their money, and then insists upon them
keeping him i'll Congress because of the
favors they have paid tor. And it may be
remarked that this is one of the strangest
exhibitions of the ignorance of large class
of people that was ever made. They tave
been SO long used as hewers of wood and
drawers of water. that many of them actually
look upon the Office holders as their masters
instead of their servants, and receive the
little gifts in the way of seeds and the like,
which they pay for in taxes, and but a small
part OF which is returned to them, as great
favors from the hands of such men as Strait
1t is almost eqnal to the act of thief who
steals a farmers mare and the ext year
makes rim feel under obligations to him for
giving him back young colt.

Gossip at Niles A6out the M,sddze-1hc
Gaines Family Runlors.
Detroit Evening News.
The rumbling which threatened another
eruption of that Niles McMurdy- Gaines
volcano seems to have been false alarm.
At least the only new fact is a mere rumor
from not very reliable source that the
bishop of Illinois has in so 9 way declared
his intention to put his foot down on Nc
Murdy coming into his jurisdiction.
Public opinion at Niles is very much
divided and the minds of many seem I'M
settled on the subject. The Episcopal
church, together with quite a respectable
following of Outsiders, is evidently in sympa-
thy with DR.. McMurdy, and looks upon the
charges and insinuations made against him
as outrageous and crael, and that the VIII lie
flair can be accounted for in a manner
justifying the doctor in every respect; ex-
cept, perhaps, his over oficiousness in at
tempting to assist eve ybody, especially the
members of his church, in their private and
domestic affairs. The stubborn facts, how
ever, make the situation very embarrassing,
and, no doubt, distressing.
It is fact that Gaines and his wife lived
unhappily; that Mrs. Gaines who is vain,
coquettish woman, sought the counsel of her
minister and to him told her grievances; and
the doctor says, and he is believed by manv,
that he simply discharged his duty as her
pastor, and endeavored, in all suitable WAYS,
to give her good advice, to protect her from
harm, and reinstate her in good society. It
is fact that Mr.. Gaines was terribly affiict-
ed, came very near dying, was shot at while
in bed, and there seems to be no doubt in
the minds of the community that he was
poisoned with arsenic. AL % that diycSce
suit resulted i'll a legal separation on the
grounds of the inidelity of the husband, and
that he was an habitum drunkard. But
there is no evidence that DR.. McMurdy had
ANYTHING to do with either.
Many are disposed to look upon the matter
of his modelling with Mrs. Dickson's will as
the worst feature of his conduct. But this
is explained, qnite pausibly too, from the
fact that Mrs. Dickson was very peculiar
woman, and especially on ,he subject of her
will. And that she sent for DIR. McMurdy
and asked him to advise her about it, and he
being, in his own estimation at least, skilled
in such. matters, drew her will, making him
self with two others executors thereof, and
providing but $500 for the benefit of the
church. There was no provision by which
he, as an individual, was to receive any ben
eft OF advantage.
Mr.. Budd CLAIMS that be has been unfairly
dealt with, especially by the refusal of Bishop
Gillespie to entertain the formal charges
which he filed against DR.. McMurdy; and in
this case be claims to have sympathy from
Holland, Mich, where it seems the bishop is
charged with sustaining in the re @ torship an
person. But the people of Niles
are not sremarkably exercised i'll that direc-
ton. Budd and his friends claim that there
is more coming soon. and that til. inquisi-
tors are now ferretins out the rector's ante
cedents.

.sHERuAy,s CONTRACTION scnErE

SHERMAN,S CONTRACTION SCHEYE.
John herman claims that If the accumu-
lation of coin proceeds at the present rate,
the amount on hand on the LIST of January
will be equal to two-thirds of the greenbacks
outstap ding, and that he will therefore have
no difficulty in resuming specie payments.
In order to bring the amount up, however,
ne will have to suspend the payment of
United States bonds, which he has been call.
ing in at the rate of FIVE millions a week.
To men who are not versed in the peculiar
political economy of Sherman this statement
of facts will create some rather uncompli-
mentary thoughts. It will be ssked why is
it that he is SO anxious to retire the green
backs from circulation when they are Just
the currency the people want. Some will
inquire why Sherman does not devote the
gold in the treasury to the payment of the
interest bearing debt of the country and
save the sum of thirteen millions of dollars
annually for the single item of interest /?
Some men who have reputation for BUSH
ness sagacity will wonder at this, not realiz-
ing that different methods are necessary in
the management of the finances of nation
from the methods employed in ones private
business. It would appear to be the part of
wisdom for the secretary of the treasury to
redeem some of the interest-bearinp
debt before he redo ems that whici
bears no interest. The truth
of the matter is that Sherman is the tool of
the money interests represented by the banks.
He is anxious to increase their power by Civ
ing them the privilege of issuing all the
paper currency in use in the country. He
wanted to retire all the greenbacks, but Con-
gress put stop to his plan of contraction.
Ho is now trying to whip the devil round the
stump, and under the guise of resumption
he will continue his policy of contraction
until he has squeezed the life-blood out of
the industry of the country. AS fast as he
retires the greenbacks from circulation
through resumption, the national banks will
partially supply their place with notes of
their own issue, and the greenbacks will be
driv from tho money markets of the coun-
try. It is shrewd dodge and an expensive
one to the people, but Congress must cry
halt. Its first duty on re-assembling must
be to execute the will of the people in this
respect. No direlection in this respect will
be tolerated.

lConstantinople Letter to London Daily News. I
Throughout what remains of the Ottoman
empire there is more di,order and anarchy
than has prevailed for m,ny years. Except
ing Arabia, there is nota single province
which is not more or less IN rebellion.
Anarchy prevails throughout the whole en-
pre-. The insurgents in Thessaly and
Eplrus are facing the Turkish troops, and
the local authorities ara afraid to act. lest
the population should go over to the insur-
gents Ell masse. The two Englishmen in the
Rhodope Mountains who have gath red to
themselves an army have the whole country
around them in Subsection. Their
army rejects the authority of
the Sultan, and, though the men
are Moslems, are as much insurgents as the
Greeks to the south of them, who have been
IN arms for many months. The Albanians
are equally hostile to the Turks, and refuse
to obey the commands which are sent from
Constantinopte. All SORTS of stories are toll
to account for the murder of Mehmet Ali
There was an old grudge against him on ac-
count of his treatment of the Albanians
eighteen months ago. He was destroying
everywhere arms which were likely to fall
int he hands of the Albanians. But wheth-
or true OF not, and whether the government
was not unwilling to allow the Albanian in
snrrectlon to grow as means of threatening
the Greek provinces, the fact of lis murder
gave conclusive evidence that the govern
ment has no authority in Albania
Nor are things any better in Asia Minor.
About Marash, the Kosannagh. and the dis
trIct north and northeast of Alexandretta,
the Armenians, who in this district have long
been warlike race, have made common
cause with the Moslems, ana refuse to obey
the rule of Constantinople. We have a
rumor to-day, the truth of which have not
been able to ascertain, that the Arabs in
and around Aleppo have taken the same
stand. All throughout Armenia there is a
panic, which is leading to wholesale emigra-
ton. The last week, too, has not been with
out rumors in the capital of attempts-fool-
ish and useless attempts-di1ected against
the sultan. The war has not merely pro-
duced the dismemberment of the Ottoman
empire, the looping off of important branches
like Bulgaria, Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Cyprus, but, to change the figure, the disin-
tegration of all the rest. There has never
been time since 1853 when the whole en-
pire appeared 80 entirely falling to pieces as
the present moment,
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-10-22

JUDGE KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, is of the
opinion that Sherman will try to resume,
and that in 80 doing he will very likely bring
on panic. He does not believe that re-
sumption can be maintained, and that it's
attempt will prove the grandest farce in the
history of our country, but that it will like
wise prove an expensive and ruinous one.
This is the opinion of all men who have
closely watched the progress of events. Re
sumption will prove big bonanza to the
spectators and money brokers Of the East.
1t will be ruinous to the merchants, manu-
facturers and farmers of the West. This is
as certain as anything in the future can be-.
Sherman is bent on the destruction of in
drstry, and all that the money power may be
benefited,
