HERO WORSHIPING.

We have the satisfaction of knowing that
the tours of Gen. Grant are about ended.
and that the days of toadyism are over.
While the GLOBE does not wish to detract
one iota from the we'll earned laurels of
the commander of the Union forces at the
close OF the war, it has protest to offer
against the laudations he has received during
his brief sojourn here. Gen. Grant is an
American citizen, nothing moro. As such he
is entitled to all honor, but further than that
he has 10 claim upon tho American public.
The greetings he has received have been
worthily bestowed, but the toadyism mani.
tested at the receptions given in his honor
has been a Disgrace to the American name.
The fact that the entire business has q
political bearing, does not relieve it from
the general condemnation under which il
should fall. Even politics. which ordinarily
covers multitude of sins, should not be-
stretched to limit sufficient to include that
which should be repulsive to every instinct
of American citizens. Gen. Grant has no
doubt gained. political advantage through the
receptions that have been gotten up for him
by his blowers and strikers, but it has been
at the cost of degradation of the American
name. -. ~.

INHUMANITY.

IA 1dtotto Child Froxe, WhtIei Being Re

To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PETER, Dec. 25.-Allow me to state a
few facts and at the same time answer in
your valuable paper few questions. About
six miles west of this city resides German
farmer, Mr.. Christian Thorn. This Mr..
Thorn has the misfortune to have an idiotic
child, girl, now about twelve years Of age.
The child has been for sometime uuder treat
ment at the hospital for insane in this city,
and was subsequently removed to the State
institution at Faribault. According to q
local in the st. Peter Tribune, in one of its
recent issues, a girl or child had been
brought TO this place by some official OF the
Faribault institution, and placed in care of
Mr. r. A. Donahower, this gentlemen being
chairman of the board of county commits
sloners OF Nicollet county. The child was
then taken to its parents or its father, Mr..
Q. Thorn. The weather being extremely
cold, and the man, H. Mol, who was COM
missioned to bring the child home, did not
Tor some strange reason provide sufficient
comforters or blankets, and when he turned
the unfortunate girl over to her parents.
they found both of her feet frozen; the toes
turning to black color.
Nov, not alone that the girl is mentally
disabled, through this ine1cusable careless
ness, she will undoubtedly be cripple for
life. 1888. -.. 81: +: ~sss y. 80 -
:. Who is responsible and who is to blame
Tor this misery? Is it human? Or is it
reckless barbarity? Have the officials of
that institution at Faribault right or just
cause to deliver an unfortunate being in
such manner?

Deducting the two fraudulent votes of
Patterson and Purman, cast for Camera J >,
the opposition to the united Cameron and
Sherman votes, as revealed by the record,
will stand twenty two against twenty. The
single ballot cast for Plat was, of course, q
mere dodge. If three Sherman votes for
Cameron be added to the two frauds, and
these five be deducted from the aggregate,
then the whole real strength of Cameron
by this test would be but seventeen,
against an opposite Of twenty-five.
Here, then, it is made clear that an inter.
loPeE, who had never served on the commit
tee, and who came in by the resignation of
the notorious W. Fl. Kemble, adept in the
school Of addition, division and science, is
lifted over the heads of old and honored
members, and is made chairman by bar
gain and sale. The place was bought out
and out, and Patterson and Purman were
barefaced frauds, imposed on the committee
by returning board practices. VS. ~,
This is the first triumph scored for Grant
inside the Republican organization, and the
few facts above stated show by what methods
it was obtained. With this guide, and un-
der the management Of Don Cameron, it is
easy to predict that the means to be used
for securing the nomination, and subse-
quently for electing q third term of extrava-
gance, corruption and proAgacy will be
equally unsorupulous. 49,

WASnBURN'S PERIL,

The Brittle Gtver Wtlt Have to Make a Good
Slsoscing or HIS Neck Wtll be Wrun1 Off
Short.
Washington Special dec. 23) Chicago Tribune
There is no doubt but leading Democrats
are giving much attention to providing means
by which the election Of President may be
thrown into the House. In the first place,
there is full intention of so manipulating
pending cases of contested elections as to give
the Democrats majority on the vote BY
States. This can be done either by unseat-
ing Ortiz, of Indiana, or Washburn. Of Min
nesota. There are good grounds fol. the be-
lief that the present situation in Maine has
been brought about rs a result of this deter
nnination to give such shape to the electoral
vote that, If necessary to success, the election
can be sent to the House of Representatives.
There are Democrats who believe that through
the present legislature either two sets Of
electoral returns can be secured from Maine.
which would enable tho joint conven-
ion here either to throw out the
vote of that State, or count 1t for Fusion
candidate, if the Democrats and Greenback-
ers should run one. This would throw the
election into the House, provided the Demo-
Gratis can carry the South, together with New
York and either Connecticut or California;
for, leaving out the seven votes of Maine.
Democrats 179 electoral votes, not a major
ity of all.
DOUBT
that the Democrats here are rather anxious
to see dual Legislatures set up in Maine. a.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-12-26

they think this will insure two sets of returns
from Maine. There are Republicans here
who regard the possible effect of the result
OF Maine upon the count of the electoral
vote as much more important than the ques-
ton OF the contest Of the Governor Of that
State. They ara, therefore, exceedingly
solicltous that all technicalities of the law
shall be carefully observed by Republicans,
50 that tho Democratic joint convention to
count the electoral vote shall have no excuse
for refusing the legitimate vote of Maine,
which all now believe will be overwhelmingly
Republican as result of present Democratic

man, had put in blast at the bottom o
the shaft, which is eighty feet deep, and
then, after lighting the fuse, gave the men
at the MINDLESS the signal to s.hoist away.''
When the bucket he was in had been
holsted to point about thirty feet from
the surface splice in the rope gave way,
and Kirchbacker was precipitated dig

Strangely enough, the force of the fall did
not render him insensible, although he was
stunned for an instant. One ankle was

other sGghter injuries received. Almost az
soon as his downward course was checked
he realized the fact that but few seconds
would elapse before the explosion of the
blast and his consequent humiliation I'M

himself. He managed to draw his maneled
body over to where the fire was creeping
down to the heavy charge of powder beneath.
No time was to be lost. Grasping the

THE WHEAT CORNER.

The Ne,u York CliQs4ei Determined to "Hold
Her Nozzle A0tsa the Bank JJl1 the Last
Gal00t's ashore"
New York Special Cincinnati Enquirer, Oath.
The pending corner in wheat was the alb
sorbing topic in the produce exchange.
Trade was almost at standstill, for no one
cares to operate until things come to head.
Being asked as to the personnel of the clique,
a leading grain merchant said: "Of oourse
we can't tell definitely, but the general i'm
preston is that James Ksene is at the head
Of the clique, and that Rufus Hatch has
something to do with it. They and their
friends are said to control 5000, 900 bushels
of grain in Chicago. OF the 11,OO0,OOO
bushels afoat, in the elevators at this port.
they also control large proportion, OK
actly how much no outsider knows.
All their Chicago wheat is No. 2
spring, the standard, and is held there at
$1.30 per bushel. Here the same wheat ia.
quoted at $1.46, and, right here, I may men
ton two singular facts. In the first place
you should remember that the freight bv
rail on bushel of wheat is twenty-fo
cents, while the handling of it and other
expenses amount to four cents bushel.
This should make the price 81 .5Sin New York,
when it is 81. 80 in Chicago, but our actual
quotation is 81-Ae. Secondly, the same grade
that ia held here at $1.46 is selling at Liver
pool to-day at $l.42, which shows that the
demand in that market for the present is
Light
"Do you think there is heavy short in
test in the market?"
uThat'a what bothera ua We sny,noso
there is considerable short interest, but
can not even approximately estimate its
amount, Thus far there is not what we call
corner in wheat,Ibut the developments of
the next few days may show that there is.
Next month will tell the story. It is known,
however, that the parties who are operating
the pool are financially strong, and that
they are still buying, Their chances of sue
cess depend upon many circumstances that
can not be certainly foreseen. Since Sep
tember last, estimating the shipments from
this date to January LIST, we have shipped to
Europe, say 100000, 900 bushels of grain"
