GREEDY, Oct 9.-To the editor of the ZrS-

father, and also to express my feelings in a
limited way, about this horrible massacre.

overcome, giving the Indians more
power than previously. Had the
cowboys of Colorado been called on Sept.
10 they would have gotten there in time to
save the lives at the agency, and they would
have made so clean work of the red devils
that it would have been hard to find one
alive to-day. The life of one common white
man is worth more than the lives OF all the
Indians from the beginning of their creation
until the present time, and yet such man
as my father, with brains, intellect, and
power to move the thoughts of men, had
his life ANONYMOUSLY put out by the hand
of a savage foe, whose life or soul is not
worthy of dog, and no power in all the
land to stay the deed. What magnani-

of creatures whose existence should have

My protector, my hope and joy! Oh, the
broken hearts of widows, and daughters, and
sisters who to-day, this hour, mourn the
loss of their dear martyred ones, who were
their support, love, life, and their all, now
gone from their sides forever, with only sor-
row and desolation for their comforte.

Fot1stng Modest about Pills.

While Baker and Hubbard and Edgerton
were on the tented field, fighting for the
preservation of the Union, renderinga Re-
publican party possible, John s. Pillsbury
was staying at home, laying the foundation
for his immense fortune. But this fact does
not deter him from forcing himself upon
the party for q third term, though there are
scores of Republicans in every respect bet
ter fitted for the Office whom the people
would be pleased to honor by electing for
one term. But there's nothing modest
about Pillsbury.

THAT HOUSE RENT ITEM.


The GLOBE appears to have irritated the
Minneapolis newspapers by calling atten-
ton to the fact that Gov. Pillsbury has been
receiving $500 per year from the State for
house rent, while he has never lived in st.
Paul at all, but has occupied his residence at
Minneapolis as usual. We do not wonder
they squirm over the publicity given this
matter, for it places Gov. Pillsbury in an
unenviable light. His Tribune ad-
mits the fraud by abjectly apologize
ing and exousing the matter, and finally
comedies that after he had drawn the money
as "rent' for two years, Gin order that there
could be no dispute about the intention of
the legislature, the item was transferred and
made part of the governors regular salary
Now does any one suppose this $500 is
any the less fraud because it is made part
of the salary. The salary was $4,000. A
poor man was elected governor, and as he
had to remove to st. Paul he was allowed, in
addition to his salary, house, which the
State rented at the rate of $500 per year.
In the course of events millionaire
is elected Governor. He does not remove to
the capital at all. He has no hospitality to
extend as Governor of the State; no expense
of keeping up an establishment, but still he
draws his $500 per annum as 'srent'' for two
years, and then seeks to whip the devil
around the stump by stating that it is now
part of the salary.
1t was the intention of the legislature
originally to use this money legitimately to
enable poor man to live with some degree
of decency in st. Paul while occupying the
Governors chair. The moment cir
oumstances changed the occasion
for the appropriation ceased. There
was no more reason for continuing
the appropriation with Pillsbury in office
than there would be to continue to appropri-
ate money to build an insane asylum after
the building had once been completed and
paid for. 1t is simply disreputable grab
If Gov. Pillsbury had endeavored to secure
an increase of salary from $3, 900 to $50, 800
it would quite likely have failed, but because
he was taking $500 as 'trent' money
though he did not live in st. Paul, he sue
ceeded in getting his salary increased to cover
the rent. There is the further fact that
prices have fallen fifty per cent. since Horace
Austin was elected Governor and the oripi-
nal appropriation was made. If the money
was used legitimately now for the rent of a
gubernatorial mansion, four to five hundred
dollars would be as much as $500 then.
House rents, and everything else, have been
through John Sherman's squeeze since the
Inauguration of the $500 "rent'' item, and
the grab of the present incumbent is disrep.
utable and discreditable in every way. In
other words it "unfrocks Honest John.''I

Mortified Ledger.
When we came to Minnesota, about two
months ago, it was with the belief that Gov
ernor Pillsbury was q very popular man, and
as Governor, q general favorite with the
citizens of the State, especially of the Re
publican party. And it is with surprise
since the convention that placed his name in
nomination for reelection. From the tone
of these we are led to conclude that this
action on the part of the convention is OBJ
jeotionable to large portion Of the Repub-
licans of Minnesota.

E. P. Barnum, Esq, of Sank Centre. The
prominent part he has taken in perfeoting
measures for the early construction of the
Little Falls & Dakota railroad, has familiar
lied his name to all the people in this part
of the State, and the present favorable con-

largely to his efforts. He is in no sense q
politician, but possesses good, sound bust
ness qualifications, which make him a
specially desirable candidate on ticket
that is designed to overthrow the reign of

that the the GLOBE styles Gov. Pillsbury a

the Academy of Music in the new play Sour
Next President" This play is one con.
structed from the we'll known poem of John

been written in the play to give Mr.. Dillon
an opportunity to display the peculiar style
of humor to the best advantage. The role is
very funny and Mr. Dillon keeps the house in
a roar while on the stage. The support is
excellent, embracing Mr.. j. w. Blaisdell,
who appears as Alfred Harwood, Miss Louise
Dillon, who appears as Millie Ellsworth, q
character well adapted to her style. The
balance of the cast is strong, and the play
will be rendered in manner that should,

Since May last the Southern Minnesota
railroad has graded ready for the iron-1OO
miles of track. To do this it has employed
the large force of 1900 men. It has pur-
chased 1900 tons of iron, of which 600 tons
were bought in England. It has laid fifty
miles of track this season, and by the close
of fall will have increased it to ninety-five
miles, and, could the iron have been secured,
would have graded and laid forty miles more,
or l35 miles altogether during the yerr. It
has also during the year constructed the
longest and highest railroad trestle bridge in
the State-bridging the Des Moines river,
the same being 1920 feet in length and hay
ing an average hight of sixty-fve feet, withia
combination span of 100 feet in the middle
There has been an impression that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad company
would soon take charge of this property.
But this is an error. A majority of the stock
of this road has been purchased by the Mil
waukee d st. Paul company, but it has been
discovered that when the second mortgage
bondholders took it, by decree of the court,

road for the present.
The destination of the Southern Mime
sofa will undoubtedly be the Black Hills.
From Flandreau they are grading branch
road to Sioux Falls, forty miles to the south,
which will be finished early in the spring,
but the main line will 60 west; and if tie
st. Paul q Sioux City wants to 60 along be-
side them, as they are endeavoring to do, as

Ought to be Kicked Out.
Red Winn Arnus

We have received copy of the brief of
law and facts in the contested election case
of Hon. I. Donnelly against VIM. D. Wash
burn, and if the facts are as stated in this
document Gen. Washburn ought to be in
continently kicked out of Congress. Bribery,
intimidation, voting in unorganized counties
and falsif cation of the returns are among
the ofenses charged, which we understand
stands uncontradicted as far as testimony
was taken. Of course this is but one side
of the story, but enough is shown to con-
vince the most incredulous that immense
sums of money were spent to secure Gen.
Washbnrn's election, much more money
than he could legitimately realize from his
salary, and more than would naturally be
spent for the honors of the position.
