Fort Smelling Bridge Commission


A regular meeting of the bridge commits
sion was held yesterday forenoon.
A communication was submitted f1om
Messrs Filteau and Bounet, asking for an
immediate settlement of the balance due for
work accomplished on their contract: con-
Guiding with the statement that unless action
was taken payment of the amount would be
enforced by law.
The communication was laid on the table
without action.
The chair called for the report of County
Attorney Rogers regarding the sale of 100
feet of condemned property. The secretary
stated that the sale had been advertised
since when no action had been taken respect.
ing its actual disposal. Mr.. Dawson said
that if Mr.. Rogers couldn't attend to the
business of the commission they would have
to employ some one who could.
MIR. Cochran explained that the apparent
neglect was probably due to the illness of
Mr.. Rogers, which explanation appeared to
be satisfactory.
The chair called upon the secretary for in
formation concerning unapproved bonds,
the reply being that those which had already
been submitted were apparently satisfactory.
There being no business to transact, the COM
mission adjourned.

Another Invention for Grading Wheat.

Another invention for Grading Wheat.
The brass kettle discussion is developing
any amount of inventive genius in Mime
sofa. 1t was only Sunday morning the
GLOBE gave brief description of the plan
OF Hon. I. J. Mealey, the Senator from
Wright county, for securing an honest meas
urement of grain by the tester, no matter
by whom handled. Yesterday we had the
pleasure of examining the invention of Hon.
James n. Stacy, member of the House,
from Wright county. 1t retains the little
brass Kettle, surmounting and attached to
which is hopper holding little more than
the tester itself. The hopper is
filled with grain, a slide is
moved which gives six large openings
through which the grain drops into the tester,
always with the same force, and consequent
ly always producing uniform weight. When
the tester is filled the slide is reversed, leay-
ing the tester even full, the grain remaining

ton is complete. Mr.. Stacy will have a
model made for submission to the legislative
committee. Mr.. Stacy has also conceived a
plan for the use of the standard half bushel
in elevators, warehouses and mills, his idea
being to have such half bushel kept in these
places SO that person having any doubt
about the reliability of the tester can have
his doubts affirmed or dispelIed by resort
to this means of measurement.

SAYS Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune: ''There are indications that the
Democrats are forming combination
to prevent the passage of the resolution au-
thorizing the investigation of the cipher dis
patches" If this be the case, the Democrats
of the House might as we'll understand that
they are taking too much upon themselves.
1t is not the Republicans who are most in
terested in ascertaining the truth about
these dispatches, but the Democrats. It is
the sincere desire of the great mass of the
Democratic party to get at the truth of this
matter, to the end that they may know
whether any man in the party has attempted
to forestall the will of the people by bribery,
or has attempted to rectify wrongs by that
means. If such there be, as charged, the
people want to know the fact, that they may
act accordingly. The Democratic party has
no need for men who use disreputable
means to accomplish any object, whether
right or wrong.
Daily globe., 1879-01-21

GEN. BUTLER says that all that has ever been
charged as to the cipher dispatches is that they
show an attempt on the part of Tilden his
agents to secure the Presidency by means of
bribery. This bribery, however, Butler says
was not successful, and the persons implicated
hold no positions under the government. It is
therefore matter with which. he thinks, Con-
gress has no concern, and in the Investigation
of which it has no right to spend public money.
-Washington Special.
Whether successful or not, there is prima
facie evidence that it was attempted, and
whether the parties who attempted it are
officers of the government or not makes 40
difference. The people want to know the
facts, and as they pay the taxes, Gen. Butler
or no other man has right to say that they
shall be debarred from that information.

"Wants to hnoac Where to Get Government
Enrelopes'

10 the Editor Of the Globe.
AS Mr.. John Fischer sees fit to communi-
cate with the postmaster of st. Paul through
the public press, he must of necessity be an
swered through the same medium. Owing
to change of contract involving a reduc-
ton of price of stamped envelopes, the post
Office department, by a recent circular letter,
instructed postmasters to sell out tho stock
OF envelopes on hand before ordering a new
supply. Under this instruction the st. Paul
Office has been without stamped envelopes
for few days. An invoice has been received
for them, and they have been expected by
every Eastern mail All of this Mr.. John
Fischer could have learned by calling at the
postmaster's or the assistant postmaster's
room, as he is invited to do by posters set up
in the corridor of the postoffice. But as
he did not do so, it leaves Mr.. John Fischer
Slightly open to the suspicion that he wanted
to see his name in the newspaper more than
he wanted to buy stamped envelopes.
In addition to the uncivil language claimed
to have been used to him by clerk in the
employ of this Office, if this Mr.. John Fisch-
er, and all the other John Fischers, will call
at the postmaster's room and point out the
clerk making use of uncivil language in the
transaction of the public business. such
prompt and energetic means will be used as
is confidently trusted will satisfy Mr.. John
Fischer and the rest of mankind. Respect

Il STATE GOING INTO THE LOAN
BUSINESS,


A resolution has been quietly introduced
into the House authorizing the State to bor-
row money for the so-called Text Book
Fund, the amount to be $4,000, if so much
shall at any time be due Mr.. Merrill for
books.
The reasons for this measure should be
understood. Section Z, of the book law OF
1877, requires counties to transmit to the
State Treasury the amount of the cost of all
books sent to the county, when notice is re-
ceived from the superintendent Of Public
Instruction that books have been sent. If
counties complied with this requirement, but
few days would elapse between the
shipment of books and the receipt of
the pay for them. Mr.. Merrill would get
his cash promptly and be able to do business
on cash basis. The State textbook fund
would always have as much money in it as
would be due for books sold.
But the fact is, many counties paw no at
tention to the demand of the law in section
Z. Money due Mr.. Merrill is not forwarded.
sometimes for the reason that the county
has no funds to be advanced for such pur
pose, and often because the district have no
funds in the county treasury out of which
the county can reimburse itself. The reso-
luton in question is a proposition in ac-
cordance with the modesty of the State text
book scheme from the first, asking the
State to borrow money, aud to advance it to

get his pay at once for books which
the law requires counties to paw
for, but for which they decline or
neglect to make payment. Mr.. Merrill can

SECRETARY SHERMAN has come to the CO.

SECRETARY SHERMAN has come to the con-
clusion that the law forbidding the issue of
bills of a smaller denomination than five
dollars by national banks after resumption
does not preclude him from returning to the
banks such bills presented at the treasury
for redemption as are not too ragged for Cir
culation. Perhaps this construction of the
law would not stand the test of judicial de-
cision, but it is dictated in the interest of the
business public. The lack of small bills is
now great inconvenience to the business

ceive great condem nation.

Immigration Matters.

We are informed by gentleman of this
city who left Lincoln, Nebraska, on wednes-
day last, that an appropriation bill for a
large amount was then before the Nebraska
legislature and would speedily pass. The
Governor had taken strong grounds in favor
of liberal expenditure for immigration
purposes, and the legislature seemed dis
posed to initiate the example of their neigh
Dor, Kansas, and with her strike out boldly
for the great tide soon to set in from Europe
and the Eastern portion of this country to-
ward the fertile and illimitable prairies Of
the great West.

In this instance Mr.. Mcpherson followed

Then again his load of forty two bushels as

very adroitly hut inconsistentIv and
voted the largest power to the National

even voted down a motion to try viola
