broad prairies of the West the dead hand of
the martyred president to stay the hand of
spoilation and destruction silence fol-
lowed this would-be tremendous figure.
One or two nervous women in the gallery
glanced over at the Democratic side to see if
any of them turned pale at the prospect of
dead hand reaching for them, but they all
sat, fumed and concealed their terror. With
an easy transition Mr.. Blaine proceeded to
a consideration of Presidential actions. His
spe ech all along at this point was we'll
directed attempt at actually forcing the
president into position where he would be
obliged to veto these Objectionable bills.
From his talk it was only too
plainly evident that if Hayes should
sign these bills he would be lost mana
man whose self-respect could never again be
restored. Blaine pictured with wordy force
the threats and clustering intimidation of
the pugnacious brigadiers, who, wanted to
force the good man from Columbus upon his
knees, to humiliate HIM by forcing him to
approve their revolutionary schemes. After
piling up the disagreeableness of this out
look several moments, he capped the climax
of his indignation at the way tue Democrats
were trying to bulldose Hayes by screaming:
SIS thy servant a dog that he should be asked
to do this?" This climax brought some
applause from the galleries and re-
monstrance from the mild hammered Nc.
MILAN, who occupied the chair. He threat
ened in a husky whisper to have
the galleries cleared if the audience
again gave way to their emotions.

HAZEN-STANLEY.
Testimony Of gems. sherman, Sheridan and
Others.


New York, April l7.-At tn, Stanley tria
to-day Gen. Wood was recalled to testify that
at Mission Ridge the fire from the enemy was
very severe. Gen. Hazen commanded his own
brigade and have heard that his troops passed
under terrific fire. I saw the General on
top of the ridge.
Gen. w. T. Sherman was next called.
copy of q disaptch was shown him, he identi-
fed it as true. It was dated Bismarck, j. ne
1877. and stated that the charges of Gen.
Stanley against Gen. Hazen were premature
and uncalled for.
Gen. Phillip Sheriden then took the witness
stand, and the report in reference to this case
written by him was submitted for his identi6-
cation. He said it was q correct extract of
of a detailed statement of the battles of Mis-
sion Ridge f1om Nov. 23rd to 26th, 1868. 1t
was put in evidence. He did not remember
furnishing Gen. Hazen with copy of the re-
port. Did not know of Gen. Hazen claimed
the capture of artillery. Think the right
centre OfSmy command reached the ridge be-
fore Gen. Hazen's. He saw Gen. Hazen sub
sequently on the ridge. Remembered that
his left was coming up the ridge at
the some time Hazen's right was coming.
DR.. Robert Murray, U. 8. surgeon, testified
he met Gen. Hazen when going to the front at
Pittsburgh Landing. Thought that he was on
horseback going toward the river. He seemed
depressed and said to me doctor. am q
all scattered and can't find them" On re-
direct examination the doctor said when he
met Gen. Hazen his opinion was he slightly
staggered. He subsequently formed the opin
| ion which he now holds that the general was {
brave and gallant soldier.

NOW FOR THE STEPPERS.

Driving Matinee at the Driving Park This
Afternoon.
The attentive reader of the GLOBE for the
past few months has probably become aware
of the fact that good many fine, and some
quite speedy horses have been brought into
St Paul. Given fast horse, the next thing
is an opportunity to see him 60 along with
some other PERSONS fast horse. To give
this latter opportunity, some of the gentle
men owning such horses have decided to
inugurate series of weekly driving matt
nees at the driving park, and they are 50
anxious to get at the sport that the inaugu-
raj will take place this afternoon at o'clock.
AS this is the first gathering of the
season, and it is uncertain as to
who, outside of certain few enthusiasts,
will take part in it, no regular programme
has been arranged for to-day, any further
than there will be speeding and sport. As
the season progresses and the owners of
roadsters get warmed up to thu business, it
spropcsed to have some regular heat trots,
single and double, pacing races and gallops,
| and anything else in the racing line which
can be made interesting, the idea being to
make these matiness the popular weekly
events of the summer. Tomorrow the
gates will be wide open to the grounds and
track, so don't hesitate to hitch up your
stopper and drive out and join in the sport

THE POLITICAL DEBATE.

We are not altogether sure that the Demo-
Gratis in Congress have adopted the right tack
in dealing with their opponents. They are
taking up too mucd time. While we think
the speeches of Senators Beck, Withers and
Voorhees, are excellent in their way, we feel
constrained to remark that they were scarce
ly warranted. In the first place, everybody
knows the purpose of the amendments to
the appropriation bills now before Congress,
and no amount of oratory can convey any
more enlightenment. Every person has made
up his mind on the subject, and he will ap-
prove or disapprove of the legislation from
the light he already has, but not from that
he will receive through the medium of Con-
gressional harangues. Nobody is foolish
enough to suppose that the speeches made
in either branch of Congress will change q
vote, for the edict has gone forth from the
majority caucus that the obnoxious laws
must be repealed. Neither can the claim be
made that the debate will exercise any infu-
ence upon the country at large, for all read
ing men have already made up their minds
on all questions at ISSUE A further waste of
time or eloquence would, therefore, seem to
be superhuous, but we presume good advice
is not needed in the direction indicated.
While some may affect to ridicule the as
sertion of Senator Voorhees, that the existing
legislation regarding elections is menacing to
the liberty of the citizen and jeopardizes the
safety of the republic, there is more
truth than rhetoric in it. The
fact is that the central government
possesses too much power under existing
laws. 1t has almost despotic authority over
the elective privilege of every citizen, and
the experience of the past has proved that it
is ready to exercise that authority whenever
partisan object is to be served. The Dem
ocratic majority in Congress seek to deprive
the central government of the power con-
ferred by these laws-a power at once dan
ggezzsus and despotic-and to remove any
chancs suspicion that elections were inf1u,
enced by undue considerations. This pur.
pose will be carried out, and the sooner the
Republican minority make up their minds
to submit to the inevitable the better it will
| be for their peace of mind.

Hayes.
SAN Francisco, April IA dispatch from
Portland, Oregon, says: The board of trade
unanimously adopted long memorial ad-
dressed to President Hayes oondemning in
strong terms Chinese emigration to the
States. Among other things the memorial
declares that the Chinese seriously interfere
with all free labor, as they are able to exist
upon pittance that does not suffice for the
merest support of the white laborer and his
family, and that their crimes and pauperism
are continuous source of expense to the
State. They do not in any manner add to
the wealth Of the State by the acquisition of
real property, the payment of taxes or the
development Of any industry; and that every
dollar they earn that is not absolutely neces-
sary for their support is sent out of the
country, and that they have introduced dis
ease and crimes in our midst entirely un-
known prior to their advent.

Il General Dtsa pD0isatsne.at at HIS Speech
on MOndav-A Declnmat0rN Effort That
Didn't Touch the Public Pulse.
Washington Special april l4) to Chicago
Times.
There was general disappointment in
Blaine's speech, even among his most ardent
admirers. The cold, conservative air of the
Senate blights the flowers of "bouncing Jim
my's' eloquence. When he has the earnest
stimulus of q bowling mob of House mem
bers tho Maine Senator is in his element.
He is Just the man to ride down q mob and
bully the toughest DULLES that ever existed in

there was an air of chilliness which was de-
pressing to enthusiastic souls Edmunds
sat with his hand up to his face as if he were
attending the grave of friend. Conkling
crossed his plaid trouser legs, adjusted a
downy curl and buried hisintellect in huge
newspaper. Carpenter, Logan and Chand-
Ter sat back looking cool and critical.
The Democratic side assumed q would-be
impassive air, under which was concealed an
intense watchfulness. The arrogance of
newly acquired power was every now and
then displayed. When Blaine rose every
eye turned to him. The diplomatic people
studied him through their glasses. Every
one had almost the same thought: "There
is presidential candidate making his fight
for popular favor. His speech is nothing
but an appeal to the nation to satisfy his
great ambition He was man well worth
looking at. He has, in appearance, regained
all of his robust and magnificent health.
His cheeks are rudy and glow with the rush
of thoughts as the orator FORCES ahead. His
great eyes are clear and bright.
His high forehead, tall figure,
square shoulders and physical activity force
the attention of the largest au-
dience. His voice, clear, vibrating and
sonorous, rings from one end of the cham

the back of the public gallery hears equally
well with the more favored white brothe,

The Geographic columns of the papers two

that Tilden's brother, q manufacturing
chemist of Philadelphia, had been charged
with defrauding the revenue by a failure to

of trumpets, ''another proof Of Uncle Sam

ARE We Il NATION? .

The discussion in Congress that is now
pending had but one object at its beginning
the calculation of Democratic ideas on
topics of current interest. The Republi-
cans have diverted the debate from its origi
nal purpose, and have raised the issue of
whether we are or are not e nation. The
GLOBE is willing to admit that the United
States is nation as far as it has connection |
with other governments that it is compe-
tent to exercise all the functions of nation
in it's relations with other powers, but it is
not prepared to say that it is nation.
The theory upon which the government
was established was somewhat hyperbolical.
It was designed that itshould meet and recon-
Gle two extremes-the one clamoring for i n
dependent rights to organized communities
the other insisting that central govern
ment, with supreme and supervisory powers,
should be established. Both were accom-
modated, and yet neither was satisfied. 1t
has been agreed, however, that the former
was the purpose of the originators of the
government, and that this is government
based upon the consent of the governed-a
confederation of States rather than CEN
trail government. Whatever, therefore, con-
Germs the States ought to be considered as
affecting the nation,s.if we claim to be ns-
ton.
Are we nation? The;question has fire.
quently been asked, but never satisfactorily
answered. Our condition is truly anoma-
&bo
there is little incongruity. 1t was the de-
sign of the originators of the present sys-
tenn to make it a government of the people,
for the people and by the people. In those
early days there was no suspicion that al
some future time the question would arise as
to the capacity of organized communities to
care for their own interests. But that ques.
ton has arisen, and it has been brought for
ward by the Republican champions. They
assert that the people are not competent tc
strong arm of the government is necessary
to keep them in check. The Democratic
idea is altogether different. Il
is simply reiteration of the
principles laid down in the constitution and
laws of the confederation-an assertion OF
the right of man to govern himself. 1t en-
braces in its scope the doctrine of Stat.
rights, for self government is delusion un
less the doctrine of State rights is admitted
We are not nation. The general gov
eminent depends for its powers upon tn,
people of the several States. II they choos
to withhold those powers they cannot b.
exercised. This is simplya confederate,
of States, each exercising sovereign power
/, and each delegating to the central govern
ment only those powers not reserved to it
self. Any other Interpretation OF the con
stitution is wanton perversion.
