HOW THEY SQUIRM.

MAKE Milan and BiIL WindOms 4stOaatshea
by the Recent App0ints,se s,ts.
The Minneapolis Tribune publishes the
following, which purports to be special
from Washington:
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The appoint
ment of DR.. Stewart as surveyor-general of
Minnesota in place of Baker was made by
Secretary Schurz solely on his own motion,
and without reference to our delegation or
our people. It was no doubt secretly agreed
upon last winter between Schurz and the
doctor, who toadied to the secretary during
his whole term. Senators Window and Nc
MILAN went to the secretary's Office on Thurs
day last to see him in regard to this appoint
ment and That of the Fargo land Office, for
which they recommended Col. Mattson, of
Minneapolis, when they we're astonished at
being informed that both appointments had
been made, and the names of Stewart and
Austin sent in!
The whole delegation are greatly taken
back by this result. Under the civil service
rules, of which Schurz is the peculiar cham
pion, Baker was entitled to reappointment.
HIS administration was particularly compli-
mented by the commissioner of the land Of
fee, who favored his reappointment. That
Vuo SoCIoVdIy Suoulu uOG Ou1y ny III Inc lace
of his own policy, then, but disregard the
wishes of the commissioner and the whole
Minnesota delegation, is regarded as wholly
incomprehensible by all who have any
knowledge of the matter.
Senator Mcmillan is particularly exercised
about the land office appointment. Mattson
desired the Pembina customs collectorship.
but this was given by Mcmillan to McMur-
trie, who is of little consequence politically
in the northern district, but who has been
active here as McMillans clerk. To COM
pensate Mattson for his disappointment,
Mcmillan proposed to put him into the Fargo
land Office. You can judge of his dismay
and chagrin, though, when he found his
purpose baf1ed by the unexpected denoue-
ment.
What will be done about the confrmations
is not yet decided. Austln's appointment
was the result of the Presidents own prefer
ence, and to him it must be attributed. It
will doubtless go through, since there is a
vacancy and Austin is regarded as an unex-
ceptional man. It is different with Stewart,
however. His predecessor comes within the
civil service rules prescribed by thu admins
tration itself, and should both our Senators
protest against the removal on this ground,
it is probable the Senate, although Demo-
cratic, would concur. Whether they will do
this, however, has not yet been indicated.

as this sheet is by statute made legal publ
cation which courts are compelled to accept
until the State pamphlet edition is issued it
will be found both useful and valuable.

with Mr.. Meighen, for twelve consecutive
years, furnishes the most positive proof that
there is nothing in his public record or pri-

Texas claims that the next apportionment

Perhaps this estimate is not too high, but it
threatens to be so unless her citizens quit

facility with which firearms are employed to
assist in populating the graveyerds.

Roscoe Conkling's eccentricity is in neck
ties. In other respects the Senator dresses
in excellent taste. He evidently gets his
idea of ties from the American flag, for they
are almost invariably red, white, or blue.
When the Senator came back here at the be-
ginning of the last session he wore white
tie, and, under his blonde hair, it gave him
quite an ethereal aspect He was then
playing the role OF the generous foe, and
was quite inoffensive. But later, when he
began to gather himself up for war upon the
President, he put on his red tie, the ensign
of battle. Latterly, however, he has worn
mostly of the blue, as being sym olical of
the state of his feelings. He will probably
continue the blue for some time to come.
If Grant is nominated in 1880, we shall per-
haps see the Senator with neck-tie of all
three colors blended in beautiful harmony.

and State of Minnesota, and the several
acts amendatory thereof, and certain other
acts relating to said city, into one act, and
to amend the same, approved March 5th,
1874.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State
of Minnesota:
Section l. That section fifty (5O) of chap
ter seven (7), title one Q, of an act entitled
an act to reduce the law incorporating the
city of st. Paul, in the county of Ramsey,
and State of Minnesota, and the several acts
amendatory thereof, and certain other acts
relating to said city, into one act, and to
amend the same, approved March 9Th, 1874,
is hereby amended 80 as to read as follows:
Section 80. All deeds made to purchasers
of lots and parcels of land sold for assess
ments, or the record thereof, shall, in all
cases, be prima facie evidence that all re-
quirements of the law, with respect to the
sale, have been duly complied with, and of
title in the grantor therein after the time for
redemption has expired; and no sale shall be
set aside, or held invalid, unless the party
Directing to the same shall prove either that
the court rendering the Judgment pursuant
to which the sale was made had not jurisdic-
ton to render the Judgment, or that after
the Judgment and before the sale sach judg
ment had been satisfied, or that notice Of
sale as required by this act was not given, or
That the piece or parcel of land was not of
fered at sale to the bidder, who would paw
the amount for which the piece or parcel

the validity of the sale shall be called in
question be brought, or the defence alleging
its invalidity be interposed, within three
years after the date of the sale, and if any
sale shall be set aside, by reason of any de-
feet in the proceedings subsequent
to the entry of the judg-
ment, the court so setting
aside the sale shall have power in such case
to order new sale, to be made as near as
may be in accordance with the provisions of
this act. That in any actions heretofore or
hereafter commenced in which the validity
of deed under this act is brought into
question, and on account of any irregulari-
ties, the same shall be set aside, the party
holding such deed shall recover from the ad-
verse party the amount paid for such deed to
the city, with interest thereon from date of
sale, at the rate of twelve (12) per cent. per

WOHC ms NON1e samuel But Not 1ILde7l.
LIST. Charles (Minn.) Times-Dem.l
The Winona Herald raises at the head of
its editorial columns the following:
For President in 1880, Samuel J. Tilden.
Subject to the decision of the National Demo-
cratic convention.
Our friend Whipple of the Herald is gen.
orally pretty clear headed, and in his politi-
cal predictions is always more than half
right. In the above he is about two thirds
right, the Samuel j. being correct, but the
Tilden he could better have written Randall.
We make no prediction, nor do not wish to
be understood as stating any preference for
Presidential candidate at this early day,
but submit that Samuel j. Randall sounds
better than Samuel j. Tilden. Much Of the
Tilden preference is made up, as general
thing, of sympathy. The Democracy cannot
afford to run man for the Presidency where
his candidacy is largely made up of sympa-
thy regardless of other and more vital quail
fcations which help to make not only a
proper but a successful candidate. Let Til
den rest in the quiet seclusion of single
blessedness. At critical points he is liable

The Jews in Palestine.

New York Observer: The land
Of their promised inheritance is
rapidly becoming their own fee. If
we compare the present time with
eighty three years ago, when the
Sublime Porte permitted only three
hundred to live within the walls of
the Holy City, the change is re-
markable. Forty years since the
Porte modified this original order
so that larger number could abide
there: but they were shut up in mar
row and filthy quarters, next TO the
dog and leper quarters, the object
of contempt and cruel expressions.
But even this quarter restric-
ton was removed ten years ago.
And now the ruling power is in The
hand of Great Britain, and the scep-
tire itself is in the hand of an Isrs-
elite, and Baron Rothschild holds q
mortgage on Palestine as security

much as if accomplished fact had
put itself in the place of prophecy.

strictions were removed, bought all

within the gates, and have built en-
tire streets of houses without the

Hoods March on Nashville.

The average Northern citizen has
learned much to underrate the sol
dierly qualities of the late ex-Con-
federate Gen. John B. Hood. To
most people north of the old slavery
line he is regarded as the rash and
improvident leader who left Sher
man to his own devices at Atlanta
and flung himself northward on the
impregnable position of Thomas of
Nashville.
Doubtless he was all that has
been conceded to him as a daring
soldier. His previous record shows
that conclusively. But history will
eventually clear him of the charge
OF desperation and righteousness.
He took his first great command
when the cause of the CoDfederacy
was hopeless, and succeeded the
really greatest military mind of the
rebelling South, Gen. Johnston, IN
der very much the very same kind
of popular pressure-only more des-
perate-which afflicted Mcclellan
with the idiotic shout of "On to
Richmond"
The movement on Nashville, had
it succeeded, would have placed
Sherman in a very awkward posi-
ton, with his northward lines cut
and all open to the Ohio and be-
yond. There would have been no
march to the sea, but a grand
scramble to get back to the threat
ened States of the Northwest. The
disaster at Nashville was the end of
the Confederacy. 1t needed no
smashing of Lees lines at Peters
burg, nor any surrender at Apo
mattox to complete it. Hood was
an infantry Murat who was in bad
luck. He had only one chance and
that in almost the death struggle of
the rebellion.
1t is bad taste to call him rash
leader when he was never called
upon to lead but in the last grand
emergency of his people. Had he
whipped Thomas he would have
been one of the greatest generals of
the South instead of being foolishly
characterized as the man who
ruined the cause of his friends

Tennessee's Folly.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
State of Tennessee ought to be and
perhaps it is becoming, the para
disc of poor men. Under the laws
of that singularly governed com
monwealth there is absolute eXemp-
ton of every mans property from
State taxation up to 81 1000 in val
ue. Inasmuch as the average
wealth of heads of families in the
State cannot much, if at all, exceed
the rich in numbers, it must follow
that more than half of the popula
ton of Tennessee pay no State tax
whatever. And, as will always
happen when an inequality in taxa
ton exists, those citizens who feel
that they are unduly burdened will
evade what they can of their load,
it follows naturally that the heavier
property holders in Tennessee have
resorted to all possible articles to
defeat the assessors and taX-gather
ers in their efforts to get a State
revenue. 1t is no doubt due to the
extraordinary exemption from tax
the citizens of the State that Ten
nessee owes her inability too meet
her obligations to creditors. And
so dense is the ignorance of the
voters of that State, or SO depraved
its demagogues, that, according to
the Nashville American, it was the
tactics of the speakers who can
vassed the State recently in behalf
of total reputation to depict the
distress and despair of the poor
man, whose last COW, whose last
pillow horse, and whose last bed
stead should be taken-the latter
perhaps from under q sick wife-to
satisfy the remorseless demands of
the bloated and heartless bond
holders of the Northern States.
Yet not a soul of this class is re-
uuired, under the laws of Tennes-
see, to pay penny of State tax.
But what ignorance and folly on
the part of State government to
create any such exemption in it's rev.
enue laws. Tennessee needs immi-
grafton; but she needs capital as
well. She needs immigrants with
capital to develop the vast re
sources of the State-and few
States have greater or better to off
er in climate, soil, minerals and
easy access to markets-far more
than she needs the ''poor trash" of
other States that may drift thither
as to a benefcent refuge from taxa
ton. But what inducement has a
capitalist to go to Tennessee or to
plant his money there, seeing, as he
does, that it is the policy of her
stupid Democratic rulers to put all
the burdens of tax paying on the
few whose thrift has given them
means, and to offer a bounty on
laziness and profigacy by exempt
ing all small holdings from any
burdens whatever? Will not the
leaders of the "solid South" ever
learn that it requires common sense
and common justice to govern a
commonwealth so as to promote its
happiness, it's honor, It's wealth and
its general prosperity.

Tobacco and Liquor.

Nashville Banner: There are
more dollars spent for liquors than
for bread in the United States. by
careful statistics, collated from the
Internal Revenue Department, there
is known TO be used, Of foreign and
domestic liquors, something over
5000, 100000 WORTH This ~ an
enormous sum TO be wasted by peo-
pie who complain of being hard run.
But this is not all. The same
amount, or very near, is spent for
tobacco. The Tobacco crop is
enormous every year, and yet IT IS
all consumed. There are very many
men who use tobacco who do not
use liquor at all. and besides there
are very many women who use
snuff and who smoke, and yet who
do not drink The population OF
the United States is fully 50,O00,0OO.
OF this there are 100000 voters.
Taking the women who smoke and
use snuff, and the boys under age
who use tobacco in one form or
other, we can safely say that ten
millions Of the citizens use IT, To
those who keep an account OF their
expenses il will be no surprise 70
say that the average expenditure Is
no less than $50 each. We know
many, very many, whose cigar nc
count runs up to $500 per annum
and we have heard Of Others who
spend So per day. So the above Is
a very moderate estimate. Here,
then, we have an annual waste OF
$I,lOO,OO0,OOO for liquors and To-
bacco. This Is a fearful sum 70 DO
wasted every year.

with such Wanton waste as this2
