THE GREATEST SUFFERER.

Whatever damage may be done to Mr..
Hayes and his Republican and Democratic
fellow-conspirators by the publication of
Senator Conklin's alleged interview with
World correspondent, it is certain that the
senior New York Senator is the person who
suffers most in loss of reputation. For,
while the others are accused, he is by self
confession guilty of the crime of political
fraud, not by active participation therein,
but by silent acquiescence. 1t matters not
in the slightest whether the alleged inter-
view did or did not take place precisely as re-
ported. All the evidence is conclusive that
on many occasions, Mr.. Conklin has uttered
language and expressed opinions not at all
at variance with that part of the printed In
terview in which Mr.. Hayes and other pub
lie men are charged with bargain and sale
in connection with the Presidency. 1t is
very evident that the rumors affecting Mr.
Conkling which were afloat, while the APP
pointment of the Electoral commission was
still under consideration, and afterwards
when the commissions judgment was before
o1Ao AAouooo, "SAo SuDStoAAGAnAAy CO1IoCG' 1uoy
were in effect that Mr.. Conkling had good
reasons for knowing that the decisions of
the fifteen, were not likely to accord with
justice, and that he contemplated
heading Republican opposition
to the commission scheme. Holding
such views, and of course having in his
knowledge facts that afforded ground for his
belief, he has never yet had the courage to
stand up and publicly denounce the fraud.
But he has roamed about under the cover OF
''private hospitality either his own OF that
of others, whining, insinuating, sneering
and apparently endeavoring to egg on others
to do that which he dare not do himself.
Every man who has given close attention
to the public life of Mr.. Conkling, must
have discovered that he is greatly over.
rated politician. His followers delight tc
call him Statesman but where can they
point to any measure of genuine statesman.
ship which Mr.. Conkling has sired, OF ever
largely assisted, in bringing to maturity
To day he stands exposed in the true light
as a politician eaten up with ambition, AFRO
gance and conceit, but without the ability t.
crafty his ambition, or to prevent his pride
from being deeply wounded.

for the gallant old soldier, Gen. Shields.
The Senate bill granting him pension of
$50 per month has been amended by the
House making the amount 800. Efigy
Sargent has been forced to admit that his
amendment to the bill making Gen. Shields

When the Senate committee to investigate
the hospital for the insane resumes its inves-
LEGATIONS, while examining the financial af-
fairs of the institution it should not only as
certain whether the State horse killed by DR..
Bartlett, while on a hunting trip, and anoth-
er State horse, killed by DR.. Bowers while
visiting private patients, were charged to their
private accounts, but the committee should
ascertain something about the necessity TO.
building magnificent private residence with
State money for the hospital steward. We
are credibly informed that this private resi-
dence, which is one of the most extensively
finished residences in St. Peter, cost the
State about $4,000.
The main hospital is composed of three
story center building, with six wings or sec
tions, three on each side. The central Sec
ton has at least one-eighth of the room of
the entire building, and we learn that it is
wholly fitted up and used for no other pur-
pose than for a reception room, Offices, chapel
and private suits of rooms for the superin-
tendent, DR.. Bartlett, and the hospital stew
mentioned here, the rooms fitted up for the
steward are not occupied, but he occupies
the splendid private residence mentioned,
which was built, as stated, with State funds.
We also learn that the private apartments
fitted up in the central part of the large hos
pital building are furnished in princely STYLE
at greater cost to the State than the cost OF
furnishing the largest and finest private resi-
dence between st. Paul and Sioux City.
The questions pertinent at this time are
Why this lavish expenditure of State money
in furnishing private apartments in the
hospital for insane, when this State is con
stantly cramped for funds to carry on thu
State government? Why should $4,000 b,
expended for private residence for the hos
pital steward when there are empty rooms
in the hospital building, and by what au
thority did the trustees build tLis privat
residence? And why should the entire cen
trail building or ne-eighth of the whole hos
pital, be occupied as previously stated, whe1
the State is forced to build new hospita
at Rochester to accommodate tn
rapidly increasing insane patients
Especially, why should this continue, when
| large suite of rooms intended for the stew
ard are vacant and he occupying privat
residence built by the State? Does it no
begin to strike the average reader that tn
people of Minnesota have been too heavil
| taxed for charitable purposes, while the Stat
officers in charge of them have been supplies
with extravagant Injuries that but few o
the wealthiest families in the State can at
ford? And this in the face of an ever in
creasing cry for more room for the bares
ne essities of the unfortnnates thrown upo

of an empty State treasury.

PROFESSORSHIPS OF THE RTATE
UNIVERSITY.

1NO1ASSOxcSHxDS Or 1AE N1A1E
UNIVERSITY.
We alluded, a day or two ago, to the want !
of harmony in the management of the State |
University. A resolution introduced by
Regent Lamprey especially attracted public
attention, as it touched the public lands
donated by Congress, and their disposition.
The Board seemed unwilling, at this time,
to go into the investigation. AS it promises
to be rather tedious, and unsavory
job, the GLOBE proposes to indulge the Board
by calling public attention to the variety
and unique callings of the different Profess
orships. There are about twenty IN all
aciN salaries. First, we have the President,
whose duties, it would appear, are confined
to moral philosophy and the chaplaincy. He
is called the President-this is about all the
lessor of "Mental and Natural Philosophy"
a combination never known to exist before.
DR.. Brooks takes Greek language and litera-
ture, and we can see no reason why the doc
tor should not also have the Latin and He
brew added to his school, or department,
from the comparatively small number at
tending his learned disquisitions. The doc
tor being clergyman of the Methodist
church, is of course familiar with these diff
ferent branches. Then there are
professors of "mathematics and astronomy"
geology and mineralogy,'' "civil and
mechanical engineering" Chemistry and
physics" which latter, ignorance had led US
to suppose belonged to natural philosophy.
It is impossible, without much fatigue, go
ing through this long list. To illustrate the
brillancy of the regime, we have, as the
browning glories of this systematized Repub>
lican arrangement, :a nonresident pro-
lessor of public health What on
earth docs ga nonresident professor of pub
lie health mean?' But this is not enough.
After enumerating all known and unknown,
living and dead languages, we are informed,
that there is a professor of "North European
Languages" We might be able possibly to
get an idea of the duties of the State geolo-
gist, who has substitute to teach, while he
is absent examining the minerals of the
State, and it is not improbable, that
we might be able to penetrate the mysteries
of the nonresident chair of public health -
but as to a Professorship of the "Northern
European languages the GLOBE must beg
to be excused. The conundrum is "surren
dered''-begging to refer all anxious inquir
ers, many of whose communications have
been received by the GLOBE, to the half doz
en- clergymen who have the faculty in charge
and to the Republican management of the

A Letter from the Hon. Montgomery Blair.
To the Editor of the Danvil1e News:
Sir; am greatly obliged by your de fence
of my action in trying to deliver the country
from the obstruction to the revival of busi-
ness, as well as from the disgrace OF the
Hayes usurpaion. It will be one of the In
credible things to postelity that the men
who solemnly denounced the Hayes fraud on
the Sd of March, 1877, became the only men
who chung to it in 1873, and that but for
their opposition the rightfully elected Presi-
dent would now be administering the
government. Nor can any one doubt that
with his clearly defined and fixed policy IN
operation, enforced as it would be by the
will of the whole people. our business would
already have revived, immigration have been
resumed, taxes been greatly reduced, and the
corruptionists and monopolists who have
ruined the country by their e1tortion, and
who still hold high carnival here, been driven
out of Washington.
The reduction of the expenditures in New
| impairing the efficiency of the public SER
vice, and the gradual reduction OF State tax
alton to two and three quarter mills, under
the policy then inaugurated, shows what the
lawfully elected President would have done
here, and shows, also, why he has not been
permitted to come here.
| This distinct issue which the State OF
Maryland now makes with the intriguing
politicians in Congress is whether this shall
continue. They must, therefore, show theil
true colors. It will not avail for the city
press, for the most part owned by monopo-
lists and jobbers, to affect to deride the
movement. It is, indeed, but "whistline
to keep the courage up" Car
the great sticklers for States rights openly

But the people are making themselye

unorthodox enough to doubt that the right

as we'll as pretty nearly all the Governors
and United States Senators needed to pre-
serve the existence of the State-from Gre
alton until the crack of doom is God-given

are good many people in it, and these
skeptics are not satisfied of the existence of
any centripetal force by which all it's repre-
sentative ability has been irresistably drawn
within the narrow limits of these two cities.

DIRECT IMPORTATION TO INTERIOR
PORTS.


PORTS.
The present law regulating tie Importation
OF foreign goods to inland ports of entry en-
tails upon inland importers vastly more
trouble and more expense than are by any
means necessary to secure the safe collection
of the governmental revenues. When goods
arrive at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, or
any other of the ports having direct COM
munication with foreign countries, the i'm
porter is obliged to execute, in person or by
attorney, bond of which the penalty is
double the invoice value of the goods, with
the duties added. Two sureties are required
on the bond, and they must justify in double
the penalty of the bond. The common car
riers who furnish the inland transportation
are under bonds to the government in sums
of not less than 100000 to deliver the i'm
ported goods to the collector of the port of
destination. When the merchandise arrives
at the latter place, another bond, similar to
that before mentioned, is required from the
importer.
Doubtless the requirement Of the bond

addition to the bond at the inland port of
destination, enures to the benefit of an
army of brokers, agents, and
others at the sea-board ports. But the COM
missions, fees and charges of various kinds
incident to this method of double custom
house entry are such a grievous burden to
inland importers that tho business of direct
importation, instead of reaching its natural
proportions, is stunted in its growth. The
merchants of the sea-board cities have those
of the interior in measure at their mercy,
the latter being forced to purchase of the
former, in place OF from the foreign produc-
ers. The double handling necessitates a
double profit, and that, of course, finally
comes in some shape or other out of the con-
sumers' pockets.
1t is now proposed to remedy the partial,
oppressive and unnecessary requirements of
the law, and to that end a bill has been
drawn up by the collector of the port of
Chicago. Apetition has also been prepared,
