To the Editor of the Globe:
can sec no good reason Why the swampy
ends of Fourth and Fifth streets may not
be vacated for the uses of railroads ENTERING
the city. OF course St. Paul will always stand
by, foster and protect her country trade.
Will in future, a. in times past, spend money
On roads and bridges to give free, safe and
easy access to the city. The said roads al
ready blockade the ends of the above streets
to the extent of rendering crossing disaeres-
able and unsafe, which drives the travel
coming over Dayton's bluff to seek the Sew
enth street bridge to avoid danger and de-
lay. From year to yeer, as business multi
plies, this difficulty will increase and though
the streets may not be formally abandoned
or given up to railroads, they will become
virtually useless.
Il the railroads would agree to put up a
permanent stone bridge, on solid arches
say sixty feet wide-with high parapet
walls, we'll paved over tho arches, such as
are bulls over the SchuYlkill at Philadelphia,
so that at all times the crossing would be
safe, agreeable and convenient, It would be
good exchange for the fimsy structure al
ready existing, and also for the unsafe and
embarrassed crossing On Third street.
It would be wise move for tho citizens to
have committee of experienced men to
make an investigation of this suggestion.

the results are unsatisfactory. In England the
home crop is arriving more freely at country

unsatisfactory. Provincial trade was dull.
Wheat declined shilling per quarter in many

As the principal increased demand for Ameri-
can spirits has been in those foreign ports in

during the years 1878 and 1879 become known

A FITFUL FEVER.
That 10 Whot Politicians Regard the Grant
FMr0re.
Washington Special.I

That 10 Whot Politicians Regard the Grant
Furore.
Washington Specially
No one could have predicted. several
months ago, the excitement that has been
created over Grants arrival in this country.
1t is fever, and, like all American feyers,
apt to be short-lived. A we'll known poll
tician, who has been reading the reports of
Grants receptions published in the Western
papers, says that the whole matter is over
done; that the paroxyms of emotion dis
played by the gushing Western people will, as
q matter of course, be repeated by the
gush of eastern hero worshipers. He says
that Americans are fond of going crazy in
this way, but that the excitement is almost
invariably followed by an apathy of mortal
unappreciation fatal to the recipient of past
benedictions. He says that the managers of
the Grant movement fully understand this,
and 1t is for this reason that Grant is talk
ing now of going to Caba and Mexico for
the winter. judicious starring tour across
the country, accompanied by The fervid
bowls of the dervishes of this long
cherished movement, and then Grant again
to disappear, and by said disappearance re-
tain all his iustre as tabled hero. It is
fortunate, be says, that the Presidential
year Is so near, for tie earth is SO small that
Gen. Grant would probably be forced to re-
main in one place long enough to be really
discovered as worthy citizen, perhaps a
man of good powers, and not dazzling
pageant OF modern greatness and the essences
OF earthly wisdom, shut up in mysteriou-
body of incompatible soljdity. He also con
tlnues his cynical criticism by saying thai
the Republican leaders really must BE- very
faint-hearted and doubling Of success when
they see no present way of stemmine The
popular craze upon the subject. He fully
understands the Grant movement, and in 80
understanding it ventures the prediction
tina, the Republican party leaders will con-
clude before the next party convention.
when they have had time to gather their
ecattered faculties, that the salvation of the
country is not dependent upon any ono man.
and that any acknowledged leader of the
party could poll every vote that would be re-
ceived by Grant, as well as carrying all that
would fall away from him on account of the
third term idea. The absurd talk of several
party leaders upon both sides, who have
looked upon Grant as bugaboo-the one
Trying to sink him in business, the others
trying to shelve him in the army
have had tendency to stimulate
Grants importance. When such
placid man as Hayes, not charged with beng
strong man, does SO we'll by his country By
doing simply nothing, the talk OF the need
of strong man is not SO wise and clea- 70
it might be. The administration of Gra.t
in the past was, he says, q strong one, bat sn
strong that the memory of the odors OF lts
past unsavory scandals make repetition Of
it undesirable by any Of the people who
have the real interest of the government at
heart

CONSTITUTIONdL AMENDMENTS

OONSTITUTIONaL AMENDMENTS.
1t is net to be wondered at that the con-
stitations of many of the States Of the Union
ara grossly defective in some respects. As
q general thing they arc prepared hastily by
men who have little knowledge OF the law,
and with view to suit this or that element
of the population and securing the adoption
Of the instrument as whole so that the
commonwealth may have the benefits Of
membership in the community of States at
rs early day rs pos sible. But after few
years the imperfections that have crept in
bsgin to manifest themselves, and to call for
amendment, either at the hands of the legis-
lature or by means Of a constitutional con-
vention. We in Minnesota have had ex-
perience in this direction. and have not yet
got our constitution into legal and proper
shape. At each election for several years past,
oar peopve have been called upon to vote
upon the adoption of this or that amend
nent which the increased demands of the
State have required, and it is probable that
for ten years to come the same thing will
have to be repeated, unless constitutional
convention shall be called to thoroughly re-
wise our organic law. Tho question of the
expedienoy of calling such convention will
no doubt come up for serious consideration
at an early day, for our supreme court is
every term destroying scrap after scrap of
the original instrument, and the chances are
that very soon We will have but little Of the
old constitution left.
But we are not alone in this predicament.
Indiana, one of the Oldest of the Western
States, has constitution even moro care
lessly drawn than our own. It seems that
there is no provision requiring permanent
residence in the State to entitle man to
the franchise. This gives abundant oppor-
tunities to those who wish to- COL
onize voters, and as consequence
few elections occur there without the perpe-
tration of gross frauds upon the ballot.
Then there is an inconvenient arrangement
as to the holding of Congressional elections
in Presidential years which involves the ex-
penditure of million dollars for the Octo-
Der elections once every four years. It is
proposed to remedy both Of these defects by
constitutional amendments, but judging BY
tho comments Of the press Of that State it
would be much quicker wey TO right the
wrongs that exist to call q convention for the
revision of the entire instrument. Such q
plan will ultimately have to be adopted not
only in Indiana, but in Minnesota and sever
al other Western States with grossly defect
i've constitutions. We can tell by past ex-
perience many of the wants of the State
that were Unknown when the original draft
was made. The question will have pressing
imnortance ct no distant day.
