BUREAU RAPAClTY

Quite number of the annual reporta n,
the bureau officers of the government have
already been completed, and the main fact.
they contain have been given to the publie
through the columns of the GLOBE. They
do not differ materially from the reports Of
previous years, being in the main mere com.
pilations of the statistics of the several bn
reaus, coupled with demand for additional
appropriations for the payment of an in.
creased force of clerks. Instead of growing
less, the demands of the departments are in
creasing year by year, notwithstanding the
fact that business is being constantly sim
pll1ed, and much of it dispensed with alto
gether. The rapacity of the chiefs is never
satisfied, but they are forever crying out for
more.
The duties of the clerks and other officials
at Washington are not particularly onerous.
The departments are not opened for business
till nine O'Clock in the morning, and are
closed at four in the afternoon. It will
thus be seen that, deducting an hour at
noon' the employ es of the government per-
form only six hours work daily, and many
OF them are on duty even less time than
tnat' A clerk. salesman or bookkeeper in q
store or manufacturing establishment is
required to work at least ten hours dailv.

Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-10-31

The virtuous Minneapolis newspaper
printed by Bill King in this city, is shouticg
fraud with all the force it can lin its integ-
rity) command, and as evidence alleges that
that the Democratic State Central Commit
tee is sending out little slips (pasters) with
Edmund Rice's name printed thereon to be
pasted over Pillsbury's. We don't know
what the Democratic State Committee are
doing in this matter, but if they are not
sending out these pastors they ought to do
so at once. There are thousands of Repub-
licans who desire to "scratch" the third term
candidate for Governor, and it is
much easier to paste Rice's name
over Pillsbury's than to ''scratch''
in any other manner. Even
Bill Kings virtuous newspaper has been
recommending scratching, and this has had
such an effect that Charley Johnson, the Sec
rotary of Pillsbury's committee, has been
flooding the State with Pillsbury's pastors,
in the vain expectation that some one would
use them. The Pillsbury pasters are most
arrant fraud. No ore wishes to 'tscratch"
Rice and substitute Pillsbury, and hence it
is swindle to assume that they do by sup.
plying Pillsbury pastors, as the Republican
committee is doing. Thousands want to
scratch" Pillsbury and substitute Rice, and
the Rice pastors will greatly facilitate the
business. The Democratic committee should
issue them at once.

MISSIONARY WORK.

The Session of the American Missionary
Union at Chicago Reports Received and
Discussions Thereon
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The American missionary
association this morning heard the report of
the committee on church work in the South.
showing that the increase since 1864 has been
from almost nothing to 4,60O members all this
being accomplished in the face of open opposi-
ton and the moral apathy and ignorance of the
oppressed negro race. The report was of ycIy
cheerful tenor. both as to the past and present
and prospective work in the South. Rev.
Charles l.. W. dworth, of Buston, discussed
the report The report of the committee on
educational work among the freedmen followed
and both reports were adopted. A. q. Bross,
of Michigan, submitted report of the com.
mittee to which had been referred papers OF,
China, Itsroke highly of the Chinese nation.
