WASHBURN'S NEMESIS.

Mr.. Donnelly will commence taking testi-
mony in this city tomorrow morning in his
contested election case. The evidence will
be taken in The Office of O'Brien & Eller,
Ingersoll block. On Thursday morning evi-
dence will be taken at Minneapolis at the
office of j. B. Bottineau, notary public.
This is the most important matter which
has ever occurred in the political history of
this State. 1t is important because it will
put to the test tho question of the corrupt
use of money in carrying elections. Mr..
Washburn paid for his votes. II he had
confined himself to the legitimate ex-
penditures of canvass he would have
been defeated by at least two thousand
majority against him. Men were bought
like sheep in the shambles. Others were in
Inundated and compelled to vote for Wash
burn through fear Of losing employment.
The campaign was even more shamefaced
and disgraceful than the Bill King campaign
of 1874. The question at issue is not
whether Donnelly Or Washburn shall 20 to
Congress, but whether this corruption shall
continue and increase, Or whether it shall be
stamped out. Every patriotic citizen, re-
CARELESS of party, will rejoice to see this in
vestigation proceed. It will undoubtedly
disgrace Washburn and drive him to private
life, and in that manner a good work
will have been accomplished. II men can
secure honors by corrupt means and retain
them, it not only encourages them to repeat
the dose, but induces others to walk in their
footsteps What is needed is q general puri-
fcation of our politics. They are offensive
in their rottenness, and Washburn stands as
representing all that is vile and dishonest in
OH political system.
IF witnesses swear to such statements as
they have voluntarily made Mr.. Washburn
will be blasted forever. There is no doubt
efforts will be made to both bride and in
timidate witnesses. The witnesses should
bear in mind that they are under oath, and
any deviation from the truth VIII be rank
perjury. They will be liable to prosecution
for false testimony. All that is desired is to
learn the exact truth. No exaggerations OF
concealments are wanted or will be per-
mitted. The truth will send Washburn to
political perdition.

Il Good One.

matthias dullksen, who was arrested Satur-
day night for passing forged notes, was visited
yesterday afternoon by GLOBE representative.
Gulksen was in very bad condition, and be-
tween his sobs and EXPLANATIONS 'sthat he
knew MS soul was lost" said that the notes
were given HIM by man named William A.
jackson, who went to st. Paul on Saturday.
He also tells several other stories Of about
the same style, in each one of which he laws
the making of the notes on Jackson. He is
not over bright looking, and it is thought that
thus fact accounts for his being able to swindlc
parties.
He stated Saturday night that he could write
only little, but it has since been discovered
that ne IS good penman, and by comparing
his writing with that on the notes, it is found
to be the same. He will have an examination
this morning, when more evidence will be
brought against him.

Il 30 Ard OF TRADE.

While the energetic business men of St.
Paul are putting forth their strength in
building up the city, they should take meas
ures to inaugurate an active Board of Trade.
with daily meetings for the purpose of COM
mercial transactions.
st. Paul is the natural business center of
an agricultural empire. The handling of
the products of the territory directly tribu-
tary to st. Paul, is of itself business COM
mensurate to city of a hundred thousand
inhabitants. At present, Chicago and Mil
waukee are the grain centers of this region.
While we talk about having a wheat market
we in reality have no market of our own.
st. Paul regulates nothing in the grain
trade. She is regulated throughout and is
mere child in the hands of Chicago and
Milwaukee. Those cities are primary mar
kets, and New York and Liverpool are often
regulated by these great Western grain mar
kets. They are SO powerful that they can
assume an Independent position. Their
elevators give constant employment to mill
ions Of capital. They draw in trade from
the country which counts by the million.
The producer or the middleman feels that
he can enter these markets and obtain the
value of his product. He knows that the
purchasers rank by the hundred-that COM
petition is active-in fact, that he is in O.
market.
How is it in St. Paul? II is true that the
farmer finds ready market here for his
product which he sells upon the streets, but
there ls no general market for the country
at large in st. Paul. There is an elevator to
store and commission men to handle orain
but there is no Capitalization or crystal;za-
t'on OF Inc BUSINESS. If board of trade,
with daily meetings, were established the
volume of business would rapidly become Of
immense Importance. Instead OF
wheat rings and millers' rings to
parcel off the territory among them
selves and shut out all competition, eyerv
merchant in the Slate would be wheat or
produce buyer. Every merchant on rail
road would have his storehouse and prac-
tically open an agency fer the St. Paul board
of trade. The larger producers would sell
direct in this market without the aid of anv
intermediate agency. The merchant and
farmer would buy where they sold their pro-
duce. In fact ST. Paul would stand in the
same relation to this region which Chicago
and Milwaukee now hold to st. Paul. New
elevators and new mills would be brought
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-01-13

into existence. New wholesale and
retail houses would spring into being,
and st. Paul become in reality commercial
center. Business which now goes directly
through would halt here. Money would be
retained at home which now goes abroad
and more money from abroad, than ever
before would pour into our Golfers.
There is dormant board of trade here
already which could readily be resuscitated.
II this is not done, the chamber Of commerce
can form commercial branch if it pleases.
There will be no trouble in tho matter if the
Inclination exists, and it is of such vital I'M
portance to our prosperity that it should not
be longer neglected. It would be an enter
prise which would fill an unoccupied field
and reap rich harvest.

state OF the case with open-eyed wonder. and

though the children cry for bread and the
wife and mother goes shoeless. Gentlemen
capitalists, is this fair deal? Can you recon-
Gle your consciences to this deliberate and
wholesale plundering, and yet come to the
front with loud words and windy buncombe
about ''high taxes?' High taxes indeed! Whv
are taxes high except that you by fraud have
aided in building up system which assesses
the poor laborer to the EXTREMIST limit of the
