PROGRESS OF THE AGE.


While the American board of foreign mis-
sions is sending out cargoes of evangelists,
and while the interests of Borrioboola- Cha
are tenderly watched and managed through
out the land, it does seem as if we might be
spared the humiliation which the New York
Theosophical society has just put upon US.
Col. Henry S. Olcott is to blame for it. He
will be remembered as the high priest Off
ciating at the scientific burnt Offering of his
friend the Baron de Palm. Such an action
was bizarre and paganish, but the poor, lean
old Baron wasn't much affected by
it, and he served as sort of
beacon for the initiatory illumination of the
new belief. Besides there were time honored
and illustrious precedents for the operation
as testimony of faith. A few of the primi-
tive Christians in Pagan Rome were carbona-
does at the street corners oftentimes to light
up the obscurity of the night for belated citi-
zens of the popular persuasion. This time
however the Colonel has thrown premeditated
and unpardonable disrespect upon the evan.
gelical labors of the whole country, notably
upon the profitable double action of Messrs
Moody and Sankey.
With the express purpose of Investigating
Hindoo philosophy the Colonel, our unre-
generate and recreant gentleman, with se-
lected troupe of o-believers, has just landed
in Bombay. His chief assistant
and priestess is the Countess
Blavatsky, which name has an
ominous sound, as if it might be the strug.
gle of some foreign tongue, like the Russian
or Polish, to get at the significant expression
| blatherskite. Be this as it may, she is the
oracle of the Theosophical society in New
| York, which has sent these Jealous votaries
with the belief, that if religious truth coule
be found any where it was in the scriptura
writings of the Aryas.
The Colonel told an enterprising inter
viewer of the Deccan Star that they accepted
Dayanandi as their chief religious guide.
1t will be q matter of regret to a larg
majority, who believe in utilizing every sid
of an opportunity, that Mark Twain i
not the scribe of this uniqu
band. If he could only be brough
to recognize Dayanandi too, the ne1
mission would be appropriately broache
to benighted Western land, and the limo
cents abroad would receive an attractive ad
dendum. We have each heard over and owe
again that all men have their price, but
remained for Bob Ingersoll to show tha
| gods have theirs, for he has bought job lot
of them to serve as ten pins for his arg1
ments. Some persons felt that retributio
would come, and now the theosophists al
atoning for his wanton disrespect. 1t migl
appear from these notorious examples thu
man with the rare title of colonel has
more extensive capacity for mischief tina
any other man. The curious can look int
it to learn atresh how much there may be

AN ERR1NG WIFE.

n st. Paul Husband Hunting tos. Has
Wife and Chitd--StOry Of the Flight Told
the Stilltvater Police.
A St. Paulite of German extraction, and
blacksmith by trade, by the name of Brun-
ner, was in this city Wednesday in search of
his runaway wife. The following is the
story related by him to the police: Some
months ago he started blacksmith shop in
st. Paul, but did not receive paying pat
ronage, and his wife was forced to take in
washing. Giving up his shop he obtained
employment in. The Harvester works. Near
his residence was a saloon kept by George
Hoxsie and another man, with whom his wife
became acquainted. A short time ago he
observed ring on her finger, and inquiring
where she got it, she replied that George
gave it to her. family row was the conse-
quence, she hiding the ring. Shortly after
came to Saltwater.
Brunner returned to his home in the even
ing to find his wife flown with the little
girl aged 2 years. His little boy 4 years old
| informed him that she was out shopping, but
time passing without her appearing
| his suspicious became aroused and he went
out to the neighbors for information. He
had not inquired long before he learned that
his wife said that she was going to Mime
apolis, being called there by sickness. A
telegram to Minneapolis brought back the
news that she was not there. The almost
disheartened man kept up the search, finally
tracking her to this city. Here he learned
that woman and child answerit 6 the de-
soription given had gone up river in the G.
B. Knapp the day previous. Mr.. Drummer
returned to st. Paul yesterday with the in
tention of coming back to-day and continu-
ing the pursuit.

IMMIGRATION.

Meeting of the State Board-Contract for
Printing the Pamphlet In Foreign Lam

va The State board of immigration held a
meeting yesterday afternoon, and transacted
the following business, as per the minutes
of the secretary: 81
The proposal of ]. O. Easton, of the South
ern Minnesota railroad, for advertising Ger
tain lands in the pamphlet, was accepted.
Col. Pfsender, from the committee to
supervise the TRANSLATION and printing! q
German edition of the pamphlet of 10000
copies, reported two bids received, ono from
the Volkszeitung for $500, and the other
froal the FreSe Presse for $34O, and finding
the former bid the lowest he had bargained
with the former.
Mr.. O'Brien objected to the exception re-
port, on the ground that the bid of Messrs.
Giesen & DeHaas, of the Denaokrat, had not
been considered, and moved that the work
be given to them, their bid, $240, being the
lowest. s .l::.s 5:s.l Ia
After discussion of the subject, the board
decided to sustain the action of Col. Pf@nder,
on the ground that the bid of the Denaohr01
was not made in time.
On motion of Mr.. Nichols Mr.. Swanson
was employed to translate the English pam
phlet into Swede at 81 per English page
and on motion of Mr.. Irgens, Mr.. G. F.aSol-
berg was employed to translate the pam
phlet into Norwegian at the same price.
Bids being received for printing the
pamphlet in Norwegian, one from the Buds
stSkken for $135, and from P. H. Hanson
for $3.50, the work was awarded to the for
mer on motion Of Mr.. Irgens.
A. bid was submitted from the Stats lie
tu,ag for printing the pamphle
in Swede, but the charge being
thought exorbitant, it was rejected
and the secretary was instructed to invite
new proposals for such printing.
The secretary was also, on motion of Mr
Irgens, instructed to invite proposals fo
translating and printing 5000 copies Of tn
pamphlet in French, and also instructinl
him to require all such proposals to be mad
as soon as possible, meeting of the boar
to be called to take action as soon as sucl

Editorial in the Same.

The monotony of partisan speech making
was broken by Judge Davis in the Senate,
yesterday, with a few remarks s'from the
independent standpoint on what is known
as the political section of the army appropria-
ton bill. The judge said the country was
tired of war questions, aud wanted peace.
The laws were respected alike in all parts of
the country, and nothing prevented the full
return of prosperity but the mischievous
agitation of party leaders on both sides. If
there were any real foundation for the talk
of revolution, he said, the government
would not be able to sell bonds by the
hundred millions, as had been lately done.

WHAT THE CONTEST rs BASED ON.
The Chicago 1ribune's Washington cor
respondence, which we publish elsewhere,
notes the progress being made in the contest
by Mr.. Donnelly for Mr.. Wash
burns seat and adds, that as Mr.. Wash
burns majority was over three thousand, the
contest would not have been made except for
personal feeling between the parties. A
good many people in Minnesota have had q
similar opinion, and it is very common to
hear the remark that Mr.. Donnelly cannot
hope to overcome, Mr.. Washburn's majority.
The contest is not personal one, and it is
not essential to prove that three thouand
illegal votes were cast for Washburn.
The contest is based purely and solely upon
the question of the use of money-bribery
to secure the election. In these degen-
crate days this may seem strange charge
upon which to deprive man of his seat in
Congress, but it is high time an example was
made 1t is conceded by men of all parties
in Minnesota that only the use of money
saved Mr.. Washburn from defeat at the polls.
If he had spent no more money than his op-
ponent, if he had spent no money illegiti-
mately, he would have bsen overwhelmingly
defeated. That his success was due to the
use of money is notorious, and matter ot
boast among Republicans instead of con-
cealment.
In 1874 campaign of corruption was
conducted in this district which was perfect
ly appalling. Men were bought and sole
like cattle. The lavish use of money carried
the election at that time, and Mr.. Washbur,
pursued similar policy in order to secur
the election in 1873. It was not free bal
lot. any more than the ballot cast under tn
law which is now in process of repeal wa
free. 1t was corrupt ballot, bought ant
bribed operation throughout. AS betwee1
the respective candidates personally we car
nothing. It is not whether Donnelly o
Washburn shall hold the seat, but whethe
the free will of the people shall be thwarte
by the use. of money. A good, square cam
paign is to be desired and courted on ever,
crowned with victory the vanquished part
will accept the result with equanimity. Bu
when that result is not based upon the me1
its of the candidates, or the principles the
may advocate, but upon the question as
who has the most money, it is time som
rebuke was administered. It is not nece
sary to prove each individual purchase {
three thousand votes to unseat Washbur1
He violated the law of the country by bril-
cry, and by thus becoming amenabls to th
law is subject to punishment.
The question at issue is above and beyon
the men who are involved. They are los

The least that Congress can do is to decla

Another WhitelaiU Lie S1uelcJsed.
Philadelphia Times.

The patent medicine charge against Tilden
is short-lived. Mr.. Fl. A. Tilden, sole sur
viving owner of the chemical establishment
of Tilden g. Co., at New Lebanon, N. Y, de-
clares that Samuel J. Tilden has no interest
in the business and never had; that they
don't make patent medicines anyway, their
preparations being exclusively for the medi-
cal profession and for dispensing by apothe-
cariesi that, although there are thousand
varieties of these preparations, only four are
liable to stamp duty; that the entire amount
of missing stamps is not forty dollars, and
that, as soon as they heard about it, they in
yited the fullest investigation by the COM
missioner of internal revenue. In short, the
charge seems to have been only another con-
spicious illustration of the recklessness of
of partisan malice to which the paper found
ed by Horace Greeley has sunk.
