n Singular accident.
| ILitchyeld (Meeker county, Independent,

An aged German named Thoms, living
with his son on farm about two and q half
miles east of the village of Cedar Mills, un-
dertook to sink a large boulder in the field.
He dug a hole to let it into, and, as has so
often before been done, dug it too near the
heavy rock. He worko d until along in the
afternoon, and had reached considerable
depth, when the undermined rock caused the
wall of the hole to give in, and the poor man
was, with the exception of his head. covered
up. It took two hours labor to extricate him.
he was more dead than alive. but fingered in
pain until the next day at ten O'Clock, when
he died. The stone rolled on him breaking
his legs and crushing ont his bowels. He
lay in this condition about three hours, when
some grandchildren found him. He was
still conscious and able to tell how the acci-
dent occurred. ~ H 8

THE SILVER BILL.

What They Propose to Do With It IN the
washington Special (June 81 to Chicago Tri-
= btne.
The Warner silver bill, which is now pend
ing before the Senate committee on finance,
is still the subject of much speculation. The
committee held q meeting to-day, but took
no action whatever regarding the measure.
A special meeting will be held next Friday,
/ when the bill will be,considered, bat what
will be done in regard toqit is q matter of
doubt even with the members of the COM
mittee. It was generally believed that some
action would have been taken at to-day's
meeting of the committee and one reason
for the postponement of the subject to-day
is said to have been the. desire of Mr.. Bayard,
who is chairman of the committee, to await
the result of the Democratic caucus this af-
ternoon, for, if it had been possible for the
caucus to agree upon such bill as could be-
passed and approved Immediately, an5early
adjournment would have been urged, and in
that event the silver bill would probably
have been kept in committee until next ses-
sion. On the other hand, it. is claimed that
| the postponement was simply matter of
convenience, and that on Friday next def
mite action will certainly be taken on the
bill.
Senator Ferry, who Is q member Of the
committee, is the only one not yet fully COM
mitted for or against the bill, while the other
members stand evenly divided. The silver
men, however, count on Ferry s vote in favor
! of reporting the bill, but, as the measure
| seems to have been put forward as Demo
cratic one, it is not improbable that Ferry
will carry out the Republican theory by vot-
! ing to postpone consideration of the bill
until the next session.
The opinion has frequently been advanced
that the bill would certainly be reported to
the Senate in some form, and perhaps with
out Recommendation. A member of the
committee, however, in speaking on this
subject to-day said that if the bill was re-
ported at all, it would be amended in several
particulars, as its own friends are not salts
fed with it in its present shape. If this is
done, the discussion in the Senate promises
to be an endless one, and if amendments are
adopted the bill would then have to go back
to the House, when there would be anothe,
flibustering fight over it.
/ Aside from all the above speculation, there
are some who suggest that the main object
of the bill has already been attained, its
passage having been nothing more than {

Editorial Excursion.
Duluth News. |

A. De Lacy Wood, secretary of the Min
nesota Editorial Association, and who also
edits the Red RiDer Free Press, of Brock
enridge, proposes an excursion on Lake Su-
perior by the editors of Minnesota. He says
''shall the Minnesota Editorial Association
have an excursion over Lake Superior, this
summer? Let us hear from the officers and
executive committee. The association has
never had an excursion, and we think it about
time that something more tangible than air
castles should be realized by the fraternity.
We want to gaze upon Duluth and the beauti-
full and picturesque scenery. of historic Lake
Superior"
The Neaos heartily endorses the above
suggestion, and is happy to say that st.
Paul & Duluth and Northern Pacific rail
roads, the new managers of the Clark house,
Messrs. A. s. Chase & Co., the Lake Superior
Transit company. and the Lake Michigan &
Lake Superior Transportation company will
all join readily in making the excursion a
success.
We are authorized to say that the two
railroads will bring members of the associa-
ton to Duluth free, and one or the other oi
the steamboat lines will give day excursion
on the lake, to be followed in the evening by
an entertainment at the Clark house. We
hope there will be a unanimous vote in favor
of the excursion.

THE LOUISIANA WITNESS.

Louisiana witnesses have become dis
tinctive feature of our political system. They
crop out every now and then and either
startle, amuse or disgust the whole nation.
They are a peculiar breed. They seem to
have been born for witnesses, nursed on
the pap of witnesses, and educated as wit
nesses, graduating with the highest honors
They differ from the witnesses from other
parts of the country in that they show gen
ulne talent for the business, and never ap-
pear to realize the fact. It makes little diff
ference what the case at issue may be, the
Louisiana man is equal to the emergency.
Hecan testify to suit any purpose. Nothing
pleases him better than to be involved in q
case which involves all the venal sins of the
age, and he fairly revels in the details with
citation, for Louisiana man who is not ia
miliar with political intrigue of every de-
scription is of no account whatever.
We have had several notable examples of
the capabilities of Louisiana witnesses with
in the past year or two. Jim Anderson, Mrs.
jerks, Morris Marks and Welsh were fair
samples of genus. They were all enter
tanning; they all puzzled the most astute
lawyers in the country; they all lied like
sin. Truth with them was simply an alb
stract idea something to reverence, but at a
distance. They thought it too sacred for
familiarity. But the ingenuity which they
displayed in concocting, perfecting and sys-
tematizing their lies has challenged univer-
sal admiration. }a3iiaI .fs e
It is said that a lie we'll stuck to is almost
as good as the truth. The citizens Of Louis
lana appear to have determined to prove that
a lie ingeniously constructed and sworn to is
far better than the truth. At least this ls the
inference that may fairly be drawn from the
experience of the past.
The Louisiana witness has recently broker
out in a new spot, and we are threatened
with general irruption of the genus The
contest for the seat in the Senate now oc
cupied by William Pitt Kellogg affords ar
opportunity for Louisiana witnesses to dis
play their talents in a, superlative degree
They have been summoned en- na0sse, and az
far as heard from have acquitted themselves
nobly. They have testified that they have
been bribed by one party and then bribee
by the other; that they swore to afidavits
cooked up to serve the purposes of this Of
the other party without knowing the con
tents of the aforesaid affidavits, and the
| abandon with which they treat variation
from the truth is truly refreshing
There B seems to be no ap
probation of verify that enters
into the composition of the Louisiana wit
ness. The sang .tiosd with which DeLacy
the colored witness before the Senate com
mittee on privileges and elections, related
his own shame, is simply characteristic o1
the Louisiana witness.
There seems to be but one conclusion tx
be drawn from the facts, and that is that tn
Louisiana witness is unreliable. He swear
to that which seems to serve his purpos
best. The GLOBE does not wish to depreciat,
his value at all, but it must be excused from
giving credence to anything he says, eithe

The solicitude of Mr.. Hayes to provide
for the defunct politicians of the Southern
States is truly commendable. He has taken
care of nearly all of those who have been
thrown out through the mutations of poll
tics, and last Of all, has nominated ex-Sena-
tor Conover to a lucrative office. Mr.. Con-

he aided in consummating the fraud through

Farmers Must Combine and Act Together.

A Faribault correspondent of the GLOBE
writes that paper that since the wheat
buyers State convention, when defiance and
opposition was declared to the law requiring
the use of the sealed half bushel in grading
wheat, the farmers of that section have been
thinking the matter over and they have as
family resolved that the law shall be enforced.
We imagine if farmers will stick to this re-
solve, and sell their wheat to buyers who will
give them choice as to how their wheat
shall be graded, even these stiff back gentry
will come to time. # shippers do not want
the wheat the mills do-there will be no
difficulty in selling.

Perhaps it would have been as WE'LL so far as

Judge Simons suggested that the parties retire
and agree, If they could. upon the persons to

doing. Mr.. Murray, who, in a domineering
spirit, assumed to control the whole matter,
although Gen. Sanborn was the companies at
torney, and although other attorneys were OBJ
jecting to the names suggested, conspicuously
selected me from among them and made wan
