ence of undertaking new legislation at the
present extra session, and that there is a pos
sibility that a determination will finally be
reached in favor of admitting legislation
with limitation that it shall not interfere
with the passage of the appropriation bills,
and that when those are acted upon Con-
gress shall forthwith adjourn. Such plan
would be fraught with danger, for once the
door is opened there will be perfect flood
of schemes of diverse natures forced
upon the attentions of Congress. No
matter how honest the members were in
their Intentions, it would inevitably delay
the legitimate work of the session, and thus
prolong the deliberations far beyond the
proper time for adjournment. There is
really nothing urgent that calls for action at
this time-nothing that cannot as we'll be
delayed till the regular meeting of Congress
in December next. We trust that the eau
Gus, which meets tonight, will look at this
matter carefully, and not allow the insertion
of the entering wedge which will result in
prolonging the session far into the summer
months. We advise now, as we have ad
vised heretofore, that nothing be done at the
extra session except what is actually neces
sary. By this course nothing can be los
| and much may be gained. There is time
enough in which to do all that is necessary
before the 1st of May, and every days pro
longation of the session beyond that time
! will result in harm, not only to the country
but to the party. Again we say, do as little
as possible at this session of Congress.

IMPORTANT ARREST
Il Gang of ShOp-Lifters Arrested.

Il Gang Of Shop-Lifters arrested
On Saturday evening Chief Munger and
Detective Hoy arrested Charles M. Clark,
Mrs. Joseph Laird and Frederick Laird three
members of a gang of thieves and shop
lifters who have been working this city and
st. Paul for the past six months. On Friday
night the house occupied by the parties above
named were visited and a large amount of
stolen property was found, including dress
goods, silks, boots and shoes, hats, and a
large humber of rings and jewelry. Among
the goods found were three rings which were
stolen from Marshall's jewelry store. The
police have been on the track of the parties
for the last six months, and have not arrested
them simply because they desired to
catch them in the act of stealing.
Chief Munger and Detective Hoy deny the
statement that Detective Bresett was on the
track of, or even knew who the persons
were, except the fact that they were living
in Minneapolis, and as to the story of the St.
Paul officer divulging the affair to them it is
false, Chief Munger having notified Good
fellow & Eastman, s. G. Dickinson and B.
B. Marshall three months ago that the same
parties were stealing goods from them, and
efforts we're made to catch them in the act,
bnt they were too smart to be easily caught
Detective Bresett came to Minneapolis on
Thursday last, and after spending all day Fri
day here, came to the station Saturday
morning and asked to see the goods that
had been recovered, which request was not
granted, and lie left for st. Paul Saturday
evening, saying that he did not believe any
goods had been found.
The fourth member of the gang, Joseph
Laird, left the city on Thursday last, and if
wanted can be found by the authorities at
Hudson, Wis.
The prisoners will have an examination
before Judge Cooley this morning.

.4LSlCE IND LORRAINE,

Bismarck has certainly experienced a
change of heart as regards the conquered
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Origi-
nally part of the domain of GRANGE, these
provinces have been shuttle-cocks with which
princes have played. They have owed ALE
glance to a score of potentates in the course
of their existence, and for the past half CEN
has provoked jealousies and wars between
France and Germany. Their cession to
Germany was one of the conditions Of peace
at the close of the Franco-Prussian war.
They were intensely French in sentiment,
but Bismarck decreed that all who refused
to swear allegiance to the German empire by
certain date should be expatriated. The
result was an immense hegira from the
provinces to France proper. Since then
they have had representation in the Germ an
reichstag, and from motives of policy no op-
position to German domination has been Of
| fered. A few weeks ago, however, protests
were sent to Berlin complaining that those
sent to rule over them had been oppressive,
and a request for governmental autonomy
was preferred. This the reichstag fell dis
posed to grant, but Difference was made tc
the wishes of Bismarck. Somewhat unex-
pectedly the chancellor agreed that that was
the best solution of the difficulty, and in a
speech on Saturday he declared in favor of
granting autonomy, with the reservation that
the provinces should not be regarded as ner.
tral territory between France and Germany,
but as owing allegiance to the empire pri.
marily.
When the past course of the chancellor to
these provinces is considered, one is at a
loss to understand why this change has come
DER the spirit of his dreams. OF one thing
all are satisfied In the event of war be-
| tween France and Germany, Alsace anc
| Lorraine will be found warm allies of the
frst-named power. If they shall be granted
autonomy their power to assist France
would be increased ten fold. There must bt
some hidden reason for Bismarck's position
| Perhaps it is but feint. At any rate, time
| will develop the true inwardness of the pre-
| mier's stand.

The French Senate and Assembly have
voted to hold their next session in Paris in
stead of at Versailles, which, ever since the
commune, has been the capital of France.
The wisdom of this action is open to ques-
ton. Paris has been in the past, and will
continue to be in the future, the center and
breeding place of revolutions. All the ele-
ments of disaffection with the government
consolidate in that city, and the utmost
vigilance of the police cannot crush out the
germs of revolution or stay its progress when
once it is in full progress. Within the men,
ory of men now living the national assembly
has thrice been placed at the mercy of mob,
and has been completely overawed. What
the motives of the deputies who voted for
the proposition were cannot be told, but it
looks little like conspiracy to place the
governing power of the country at the mercy
of the next revolution that may como to the
front, and that revolution, it is unnecessary
to add, is one in favor of the return of the
Napoleonic dynasty.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Increasing Acticity in Trade and Manu-
factures IN minnesota.
lSt. Paul Correspondence New York Times.
1t is somewhat early to attempt to deter
mine from the condition of actual orders
the prospect of trade and manufactures in
Minnesota for the coming season. This
much is certain, however, that all branches of
sound business are exceptionally prosperous
as the result of two years. rapid growth and
brisk demand, and are preparing for mate
rial increase in the amount of goods pro.
duced and handled in the coming season.
The partial failure in crops last year has had
less than the anticipated depressing effect
upon general business. The amount
of the grain crop handled was not
diminished in the same proportion
as the quality was deteriorated, consequently
the machinery of distribution and manufac-
ture has been kept actively employed, though
the gains of producers have been less. The
tide of emigration that set in after the fertile
year of 1877 continued to flow last season.
and is not yet checked, while its stimulus to
general business increases as immigrants be-
come permanent residents and producers. The
disappointment of the bad harvest last wear
has reacted, in a natural enough way, to the
advantage of this springs jobbing trade.
Country dealers who failsd to send the usual
large orders last falls, anticipating smaller
sales during the winter owing to the failure
of crops, have exhausted in many cases
their stocks. and are compelled to order
earlier and more abundantly than usual this
spring. .-..
St. Paul jobbers find this feature in their
trade, as compared with those in large east
ern cities with western connection. The
comparatively short distance of most of
their customers makes their trade steadier
throughout the year, frequent small orders
taking the place of heavier orders in the
spring and fall. The purely local jobbing
trade is small, st. Paul houses sending most
of their goods to retail dealers in the vast
and rapidly developing country northwest of
here, as far as Manitoba to the north, and
the remotest frontier posts in Montana to
the west. There are two great wholesale
dry goods houses, one doing an annual
business of 81 .OOO, 600: three leading GRO
Gerry houses, whose aggregate trade amounts
to the same sum; boot and shoe houses with a
trade of $4,000 900, and jobbers in hard
ware, hats and caps, and other articles nee
essary to the furnishing of the general coun-
try stores, which constitute the mass of Gus
tom tributary to this city. These report in
general terms that trade for the last two
years is fully up to that of previous years IN
money value. Taking into account the de-
probation of goods, this signifies an increase
OF ~ to 30 per cent. in the bulk handled.
Statistics published few weeks ago show
the wholesale trade of St. Paul in 1873 to
to have been about $3O,OOO,OOO, an increase
OF about IS, 100000 over 1877. The best
index to the coming seasons trade, in the
absence of actual statistics, is the expressed
expectation of merchants to repeat this gain
in 1879.
Minneapolis is the manufacturing center.

SENATOR MCMILLAN introduced bill for
constitutional amendment in the Senate q
day or two since proposing to giveIthe Presi-
dent the power to veto any of the items or
provisions of the appropriation bills, while
approving the remainder, tho vetoed por-
tions to be returned to Congress to be passed
upon the same as vetoes are now acted or.
MIR. Mcmillan is decidedly of the opinion
that such provision is necessary to prevent
''riders'' obnoxious to the minority from
being placed on important appropriation
bills, as has been done of late years. It is a
little singular, however, that tho idea never
seems to have penetrated the brain of our
Senator as long as the Republican party was
using that dangerous power, but as soon as
the tables are turned he has had a great
awakening. Verify it makes a great differ
ence whose OK is gored.

THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMMt

A"C DEMOCfd1IC PROGRAMME,
We are glad to observe that the Demo-
Gratis In both branches of Congress have
determined to recede slightly from the DO
sltlon they took at the last session in regard
to the political legislation attached to the
appropriation bills. At caucus on Satur-
day evening it was decided to adhere to the
original programme Gs 10 the repeal of the
Jurors test oath, and the law authorizing
the employment of troops, but to modify
the supervisors of election law SO as to pre-
vent the appointment of chief supervisors
and deputy marshals. If modified as pro-
posed, the law will be robbed of its most
dangerous features. 1t will simply provide
Tor the appointment of two supervisors. one
from each political party, who shall be
present at the polls and witness the connt-
ing OF votes, but shall have no power to
make arrests or do aught save protest
against proceedings that may appear to be
illegal. They will be simply wit
nesses of the manner of conductino
Inc elections, and in cases of
contest their testimony will be valuable-far
more so than if they were governed bv pute
partisanship, and had arbitrary powers of
arrest and proceeded to intimidate voters.
as has been done in the past. It is thought
that, while this change in. the Democratic
programme will not wholly satisfy Mr..
Hayes, it will prove so far satisfactory as to
induce him to sign the appropriation bills
with these amendments attached, as he will
understand that this is the best that can be
done under the circumstances.
We regret that there was division of
opinion in the sub caucus as to the expedi

is not at all probable that he will succeed in
pleasing everybody. There are only forty
six chairmanships at his disposal, and there
are one hundred and forty-four Democrats
who want to be placed at the head of one OF
more of them. It is very evident, therefore
that ninety-eight members will be disap-
pointed. Before the week closes Mr. Ran
