TRUE ECONOMY.

There IS species of economy that is
aptly called saving at the spiggot and vast
ing at the bung-hole. The legislature of the
State OF Minnesota are liable to fall into this
mistaken economy by paying too much at
tentlon to the leaks at the spiggot of the
treasury while an enormous waste is poino
on at the bungg-hole. Some of the members
OF both Houses have attempted, thus early in
tne session, to establish a reputation for
economy by opposing all manner of expen-
dltures of minor character, but have, per-
haps unwittingly, fallen into much more Law
lsh expenses They undoubtedly argue that
1t is good policy to take care of the pence.
for then the pounds will take care of them
selves, but when, after saving in small THINGS
they turn round and squander large amounts.
their philosophy does not amount to much.
AS an illustration we may mention
the debate in the House on the
question of employing pages additional to
those authorized by law. These messengers
are necessity, and greatly expedite business.
Their compensation is comparatively trivial.
yet the House consumed the greater part of
three sessions in debating the question of
whether they should be paid seventy-f1ye
cents day or greater sum. There were.
altogether, thirty-two speeches, inclusive of
those by the speaker and chief clerk, and it
is estimated that time, for which the State
has to pay about two thousand dollars, was
consumed over this trivial matter.

EWING'S AMENDMENTS
To the Resumption Repeal Bill Pendi,,o 4
the House.

10 the Assumption Repeal Bill Pendi,a0 IN
the House.
Washington Special (Jan. 16) to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The banking and currency committee of the
House, at its session this morning, by vote
OF i've to two, directed General Ewing to pre-
sent to the House his three amendments to the
resumption repeal bill, which is now on the
Speakers table. 1t will be recollected that
that bill came from the Senate last session,
With two amendments, as a substitute
for the House bill. One of these Senate
amendments makes greenbacks receivable
Tor customs; the other makes them receivable
for per cent. bonds. The bill will be reached
whenever the House can be induced to 90 to the
Speakers table. as it is the first measure on it.
EWlngs amendments are: First, prohibitins
the further sale of bonds for RESUMPTION mr..
poses. Second, directing that hereafter,
whenever as much as three millions of money
Of bonds sds fos proceeds Of the sale
shall be received in the treasury, a call shall
be issued for fve-twenty bonds, and that
interest on the called bonds shall cease within
thirty days from date of the call (now the
interest on called bonds is allowed to run for
ninety days.; third, providing that the amount
Of e1..e9 each denomination Of greenbacks out
be kept outstanding and unchanged,
and that no greenbacks of higher denomina,
ton than $1,000 shall be issued. It is ex-
pected that these amendments will give rise
to an earnest debate and struggle in the
House. Without the power to sell more
bonds Tor resumption purposes, and the power
to contract the greenbacks by funding
them in denominations of five and ten
Thousand dollar notes, it is feared that the sec
retary cannot maintain resumption It is be-
lleved , that Ewing's amendments can be passed,
although the vote will be close. In the debate
on q them we will have, no doubt, a thorough
discussion of maintaining resumption and
what the boasted blessing has cost, and will
yet cost the country.

ANOTHER CROOKED CONSUL.

The Hamburg Representative of oar Coz
eminent Detected IN Petty S,vind1i,.g.
Several months ago, commercial agency
having been established at Harburg, opposite
Hamburg, Germany, a gentleman was ap-
pointed to that port. The official reports in
the department of state indicated that the
revenue of the agency had for eight or ten
years past ranged from 81 400 to 81 900 per
year. Upon the arrival of the new CONNER
cial agent, Mr.. Lazar, inquiry was made into
the condition of the business of the place.
and he ascertained that the legitimate pro-
ceeds of the Office amounted to some $76 per
annum, and that the consul at Hamburg,
Mr.. J. M. Wilson, of Ohio, under a
provision of law authorizing the consul to
retain in the aggregate $1,000 of the fees
received at the various agencies within his
jurisdiction, had contrived by an evasion of
the statute to transfer to the agency at Har-
burg large share of the verifcation of in
voices which properly belonged to his own
consulate, by having it appear in the certif-
Gates that such verifcation was actually done
at Harburg. From the fees thus unlawfully
credited to the Harburg agency the consul at
Hamburg derived, according to the informa-
tlon lodged at the state department., con-
siderable amount thus fraudulently COL
lected. Overtures were made to the
new agent to continue this prac-
tlce, but he persistently declined, and, re-
turning to the United States, laid the in
formation before the department of state in
a formal document. Mr.. Wilson was i'm.
mediately recalled. His defense of his &C,
has been submitted to the department., and
IN connection with the reports of the busi-
ness at Harburg and the statement submit
ted by Mr.. Lazar the subject is now in the
hands of the law officer of the department
awaiting report. MI. Wilson claims that
his action was no evasion of the
law, but it is conclusively shown thai
the articles in the invoices verified
we're shipped by residents of Hamburg
which was also the place of export. Wilson
was appointed in 1876, and states that this
irregular practice had been initiated by his
predecessor. The accounts of the state de-
partment show that it began in 1869. Salts
factory evidence has been placed before the
department. that the real trade of Harburo
with the United States would justify no such
amount of fees as have been reported, and
it is very probable that Mr.. Wilson will be
prosecuted for the amount illegally retained
by him and the agent in collusisn with him
which amour ts to nearly $4,000.

THIS year the treasury has sold over sew
enty-seven millions of four per cent. bonds,
enabling the secretary to retire an equal
amount of six per cents, and thus save more
than million and half of interest. Since
the loan was authorized more than two hun
dred millions have been taken, thus afford
ing an opportunity to save at least four
millions of dollars in interest. This result
is extremely gratifying. 1t shows that the
mass of the people, if not wealthy, are pros
porous, and have full confidence in the
ability of the government to redeem its
pledges. It indicates also feeling of in
security as to other investments, and will
lngness to regard greater security as recon-
pense for higher rate of interest.

economy in small matters. Every dollar
that can be saved ought to be cut out of the
appropriation bills. But if the legislature
continues as it has commenced the proba-
bilities are that SO much time will have been
consumed in the discussion of these minor
matters that not enough time will be left for
the consideration of bills of far greater con-
Germ, and the State will in consequence suffer
from the evils of ill-considered legislation,
and an extra session of the legislature, cost
ing at least seventy thousand dollars, will be
necessary.
There are too many orators in the legisla-
ture. 1t is no doubt true, as remarked by
the GLOBE few days ago, that he who talks
the most does not necessarily serve his con-
stituency the BEST There is much hard
work to be done during the next forty-six
days of the session in committee and on the
floor. Whatever legislation is attempted
ought to be we'll considered before it is re-
ported to the two houses-made as nearly
perfect as possible. Provision will have
to be made for the expenses of
the State government for the next two years;
for the better collection of taxes; for wise
bankrupt law; for the consolidation or re-
duction in the number of judicial districts;
for the protection of the farmers against the
devices of the wheat Shylocks; for the more
honest and economical administration of the
State institutions and the State government.
These matters will require time for consid-
Grafton, and should not be hastily acted
upon. The sooner the members curb thei1
eloquence on matters of trivial importance
and bend their energies to the perfection OF
measures of graver note, the better will the
State be served, and the more certain will be

By comparison to the arrearages- pension
grab, which passed the Senate to-day, the
Congressional back-pay grab, that excited SO
much indignation throughout the country,
was mere bagatelle. This back-pension
grab takes millions of the peoples money
instead of thousands, and takes it at a time
when the country can least afford it. The
back-pay grabbers had at least the small
excuse that the money in which they were
paid was deprecated. Not even that ex-
cuse can be set up in defense of this giean-
tic grsb of thirty to fifty millions, not
made because the pensioners have anv
legal or equitable claim to it, but be-
cause the politicians who have thus voted
away the peoples money hope to advance
their personal ambition thereby.
Even If the argument Of Mr.. Herman that
If the pensioners are entitled to government
bounty at all they are entitled to it from the
time of the casualty which places them on

not follow that they are entitled to anv
larger amount than money at the depre-
ciated rates of the past would represent.
The bill takes no account of this
equitable consideration, but appro

claimants at once in comparative independ-

that the bill was passed, not to benefit the
pensioners, but to benefit the politicians. It

DOWN WITH THE SJYTNDIE

The politicians are astonished to discover
that the brass kettle campaign is renewed in
the Legislature and that the war il a vigor-
GUS one. Some ten or twelve bills, and
resolutions almost without number, have al.
ready been offered and more are in pros
pect. There is general feeling and de-
termination to give the producers some pro.
lection from the wheat rings, composed OF
millers and shippers, which band together
and make common cause against the
farmer. The GLOBE welcomes and endorses
this movement. The brass kettle cry was
no campaign shibboleth, but an earnest
and serious effort to advance the
producing interest of the State. All
wealth and prosperity must ultimately be
traced to the soil, and any combination OF
device which robs the soil must necessarily
1mpoverish the entire community. The
farmers have it in their power to secure re.
lief and protection by legislation, but there
must be no divided counsels or timorous
policy. The real time to have dealt an of.
tectlve blow was during the campaign, when
Washburn, member Of the Minneapolis
Mlliers' ring, was a candidate for Congress

more Particulars of the EH-P President's
Tisit at the Boundary.
Emerson internationally
Our last issue contained mention of the bare
fact that Louis Riel, ex-president of the provis-
ional government formed at the time of the
Red river rebellion, had arrived at Pembina;
this being the extent of the information that
had reached us at that date. We have since
a fortnight ago, put up at the Winchester
to the house of Norman Gingras Soon
afterwards he left for Gingras' farm at Snug
glers Point, just at the boundary, but some
sixteen miles back from the Red rivrr. His
presence in Pembina was known to only a few
persons, including Jud La More, United States
deputy marshal, and Mr.. Cavilier, the post
master.
Riel paid several visits to families of his ac-
quaintance, and the ladies are all in love with
him. Hes such fine looking man" they
say; but most of them add that he has "wick-
ed" eyes, which comment, coming from the
fair sex, is not necessarily unfattering.
When questioned as to his health, and
asylum" Riel would laugh till his sides
ached, treating the story as capital joke. The
truth is that he has been improving the season
OF his supposed banishment from her majesty Is
dominion by course of study in college of
the province of Quebec, where he has been af-
forded sanctuary-which is Just all the Easy
lum' there has been about it.
Riel, who is still an outlaw, the term of his
Punishment, according to his own statement,
not having expired by some fourteen
months, said the object of his ap-
proach9 to the boundary of Manitoba
was with the view of seeing the beloved coun-
try OF his birth again, and of visiting his rel
atlVes. He declared he had no intention to
enter Manitoba until the prescribed period of
his banishment had transpired; but we learn
that he crossed from Smuggler's Point to the
place OF Charles Grant, said to be on the Cana
dian side. near the Mennonite settlement on
New Years day, and that he stated his inten-
| tion of going as far as the Boyne. Whether
TINS was mere bravado, or he actually did enter
such stronghold of Orangeism, we are not
informed.
1t appears that Riel knows full we'll the dan
ger he would incur by being identified on this
side OF the line: but his daring spirit NAV lead
him to make the venture

may, one or the other, be the object of the

DO well to remember that the memory of a
cruel deed has not yet faded.
