CONFIDENCE OPERATIONS.
Hoo It Vas Sought to Yictinise Os

HoW 1t Vas Sought to Tictin.ise Oscar
Carlson.
From yesterdays developments it would
seem that the confidence operators, who
swindled A. @. Cowell out Of $3.50 on the
bogus bond dodge, night before last, did q
very extensive ssbusiness" during their short
but remunerative sojourn in this CITY. In
addition to last weeks swindle and the one
above alluded to, two more victims to their
sle'ght-ot- hand legerdemain turned up yes
terday, and if indications are to be relied
upon, there are several returns still to hear
from.
A few days since, Oscar Carlson, yard man
at the Sherman House, was approached in
front of the hotel by man who engaged in
conversation about the splendid water sys-
tenn OF st. Paul, suggesting to the young
man trip to Lake Phalen for the purpose
OF inspecting the magnificent (sic) water
machinery. As the young mans residence
IN the city was of short duration, the oppor-
tunity for sight was seized with alac-
r1ty, and extending the invitation to friend
named K. A. Anderson, the trio proceeded
IN the direction of Lake Phalen.
About half the distance had been COW
cred, between the starting point and the
lake, when the party was augmented by the
accidental p meeting of a nice young man, q
friend of the guide's, and the meeting is de-
scribed as very affecting. After proceeding
a short distance, the fourth party produced
knife, and desultory conversation took
place concerning the way in which the
blades opened. Great interest was manifest
ed in the knife, the owner of which finally
ofered to wager any amount that none of
the party could guess which way the blades
opened.
The idea was secuted as absurd by the
young mems companion, who assured the
latter, contidentially, that there was splen-
did opportunity to make some money, re-
marking at the same time that he had left
most of his ready cash at the hotel, and that
If the young men would lend him few dol
lars he would win the bet and give them
half the profits. After some hesitation he
succeeded in procuring $17 from Carlson
and $50 from Anderson, all the money they
had on their persons.
The money was put up and it is needless to
remark that the bet was lost by the sanguine
young man, who assured his lenders that the
amount was only trifle and that he would
accompany them to the city and procure the
money. Upon arriving in the city, the
stranger excused himself for few minutes
remarking that he wished to send telegram
to his house at New York, after which he
would repair to the hotel. At last accounts
the wretched victims were still awaiting the
return of the uncommonly obliging anG
knowing stranger.

A Lively Bit of a shindy.

William Corners and Charles Quinn were
arraigned at the municipal police court yes
terday morning on the charge of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. The latter's
face was almost pounded to the consistency
of jelly, and the crimson and matted condi-
ton OF hair, whiskers and clothing spoke
forcibly of fearful and bloody alteration.
The twain had engaged in playing cards
night before last in Harris saloon, corner of
Sixth and Kittson streets, and after an all
nights debauch the game terminated in a
row at o'clock yesterday morning. Both
men were elected from the saloon, where
upon they decided to settle the dispute on
the sidewalk, and at the end of the fight
Quinn's face was horribly lacerated, while
the other bruiser sustained only few
scratches.
A timely rebuke was administered by the
court, and Corners was committed for thirty
days, while his badly punished companion
was reprimanded and discharged.

The Minneapolis Plan.

AS specimen page of the Minneapolis
directory by which they figure out their in
creased (?) population, we respectfully refer
our readers to the letter "S'' in the directory,
which for cheek is certainly sublime. On
the first page of s there are twenty six lines
each line is supposed (until inevstigated) to
represent the head of a family and each line
is multiplied by 81 to show the population
of that city, which, as they figure these
twenty-six lines, show population of ninety
one persons. Now to the actual facts. In
these twenty-six lines there are just three ~
names of individuals, the balance of the
space being taken up in this wise. We quote
as follows: "St. Olaf hotel, st. Paul s. Du-
luth railway, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba railway, st. Paul & Sioux City railway,
otc., etc. We are not surprised and only
wonder that they do not embody the st. Paul
directory as whole, OF else take the New
York city directory and copy it verbatim.
We suppose it serves to amuse them, but to
sensible business men it seems very childish
and laughable.

case come into court. He very emphatically
denied any criminal conduct in the matter, and
declared that the only matter in the complaint
which was true was that he had lodgings at the
Pomroy residence. He remained there after
the trouble began because be had paid a

that was imprudent, but wishes to deny most

NEW ENGLANDISM.

The Butler Herald states it this
way: During the war OF 1872 the
New England people, without excep.
ton, called this Union a confederacy
of States. More than this, when in
1872 they burnt "blue lights" to give
the British troops information, they
denied the right of the general gov
ernment TO coerce State. At that
time they were all seccssionists When
the question Of slavery was agitated
and they found through 1t they could
obtain power in the general govern.
ment, they all turned summersault
and went in for the coercion of the
Southern States, and brought on the
late war. The truth is, these people
have been the originators Of all the
trouble this country has ever had.
The New England people were
originally slave owners, but finding it
Improbable they sold all their slaves,
put the money in their pockets and
tuiuvu auOnti0nlsts. Then they COM
menccd q war on the Southern States,
and never ceased until they embroiled
the whole country in civil war. Out
OF this they made millions upon mill
ions of money, put tho filthy "swag"
in their pockets and now impudently
assume to teach other parts of the
Union loyalty and honesty OF such
a people Blaine is fit representative,
for he can waive the "bloody shirt
regardless from what quarter the wind
blows.
A terrapin will hide its head under
its shell, but place coal of fire on its
back and it will soon show its vitality.
So with New England people. As
long as the government is run in their
interest all is right but do something
to materially affect their interest and
then their "blue light" secessionism
will show itself at once. II has been
80 ever since the formation Of the
Union, and it will be so to the end OF
the chapter.

TESTIMONY Prom THE EsEMy.-Gen.
Garfield, the Radical leader on the. floor
of Congress, contributes to the June
number of the North American Rerie,c
an essay on appropriations and misap-
preparations. The most pregnant fact
which the author brings out is that
under three years of Republican con.
troll of appropriations, from 1872 to
1875, there was reduction OF s3,OOO,-
900, while under Democratic control,
during the next threoyears, from 1875 to
1878, there was a reduction of s3s, ,009,.
900. This is not new, but It Is worth
repeating frequently and coming from
the pen Of the Captain, it dare not be
denied on the part of the enemy, let it
be ever so unpalatable to those under
his command.
