Who Shat 1t Bee

1t is now reasonably certain that the sheriff
will, on the Sd of January, begin the sale of
the HARDWOOD stock, and continue until all the
goods arc sold. 1t is also reasonably certain
that MIR. HARDWOOD will never again resume his
old business. Under these circumstances the
question arises as To whether the great house
VIII be lost TO the city, whether some one
else will step in and continue the business, or
rather undertake similar business 1t is I'M
derstood that good number of Eastern men
will be on hand to bid on the stock, and il is
said several leading New York firms contem-
plate establishing branch in this city. All
who have such intentions Minneapolis Will
gladly welcome, and ask them To fully
and carefully Investigate the field
and decide for themselves as to the
chances of opening large and profitable
business. 1t does not take "a very sharp eve to
see that the opening is Il good one, probably
better than any other that could be found to-
day i'll the whole country. That Harwood
failed cannot be attributed to want of trade, or
a naturally Improbable business. state
ment of his trade as shown by the New York
experts demonstrates that his business was
large and increasing very rapidly Some one
is sure to embrace the opportunity now pre-
scented, and what the city wants is Il man with
capital and experience, and pushing business
qualities.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-At mass meeting
here yesterday it was resolved that the
proposal made by the government, and
now before parliament, to expend about
$4,000, 900 of money and 25 900, 900 acres
OF choice land, worth, at the estimate
made by the government last session.
SO, ZOO, 0O9, for the purpose, as alleged
Of insuring the completion of the Pacific
railroad, is highly inexpedient. The fol-
lowing resolution was also adopted:
Resolved, That the immediate construction
of the western section of the Pacific railroad
and of the section along the shore of Lake
Superior is, in view of the present condition
of the public finances, premature and inexpe-
dent, and that in view of the fact that a branch
line 10 the Sault Ste. Marie will secure vastly
greater commercial advantages to the people
of the Dominion, at less then tenth of the
cost of line north of Lake Superior, and will
moreover afford the shortest rail and water
route for goods and immigrants through our
territory, and it can be completed within a
period not exceeding two years, it is desirable
to push forward the construction of the Sault
branch with all possible expedition.

AUSTIN, Mimi, Dec. 27.-In the p. p
of Saturday is letter from Austin, signed
Dial. The letter is false, as can be
shown by Jas. McGrath and Chas. Coats.
They never were fined, but were dis
charged. The letter was written at the
will of the P. p, to manufacture public
opinion against Judge Page, so if Riley
got clear it would show to the p p. that
they could succeed in gaining their suits
with Juge Page.
Let your readers reflect one moment:
A man is arrested for an attempt on the
life of Judge Page. He is IS years of age,
has served ten years of that time in State
prison. He has the sympathy of those
that desire Page out of the way. That
class of men are now endeavoring to get
men to prove an alibi. The better Dor
ton of the citizens are determined that
false statements, if introduced, shall be
speedily punished. This city has profes
sional witnesses ready at all times to
commit perjury to defeat anything that
looks like giving Page justice l regret
to speak SO, living here, but such is the
truth. That class of men defeated the
Democratic ticket in this county this fall

4LMOST Il DISASTER.
The Mayors Room in City Hall on

The Mayors Room in City Hall on Fire.
Early yesterday the venerable pile
know as city hall on Fifth street opposite
Rice park, came within hairs breadth
of furnishing tirst-class sensation. AS
usual an employee of the GLOBE doomed
up In the nick of time and prevented the
impending trouble. A few minutes after
o'clock a GLOBE news carrier stepped
up to the door leading to the MAYORS
office and the Office of the CITY attorney
when he discovered that the former
place was on fire, and that the fire was
spreading rapidly. The young man ran
over to engine house No l, and related
what he had seen, the members of that
company starting for the scene of the
fire.
When the office was reached by the de-
partment the room was enveloped in
flames, space on the floor at least three
feet in diameter being burned through. A
bucket brigade was organized, and after
twenty minutes vigorous work the fire
was subdued. The discovery of the fire
was most timely, for had the fire ragged
few minutes longer there would have
been most extensive and disastrous con-
flagration. The offices about CITY hall
are stored with books and valuable rec
Ords, and in case of fire many of the
papers would be destroyed. AS it was,
the damage was only nominal The fire
caught from a stove in the room, sparks
from which fell on the carpet

THE WISCONSIN SEN4ToRsHIp.

Timothy o. Howe, ex-senator from the
State of Wisconsin, is out in very long
screed relative to the successorship to
Senator Cameron. He is very positive
In his opinions, as such men as he natur-
ally are, and expresses his preferences in
such a manner as to lead people to infer
that he is either under very great obliga-
tions to ''Hon. p Sawyer, NJ. Co. or has
special grudge against ''Boss'' Elisha
w. Reyes. Judge Howe extols the liber-
ality of Sawyer by pointing to the many
churches and other institutions in his
neighborhood he has aided, and saws:
Doubtless both candidates will reward their
friends SO far as they properly can. Neither
is particularly wanting in gratitude, though
the manifestation of that sentiment differs in
different men. The gratitude of Mr. Keyes
too much resembles that which has been antly
described "a lively sense of favors to come. -
Mr.. Sawyer's gratitude is prevailing sense of
favors received. The latter never tires i'm his
efforts 10 bcfriend those who at any time
helped him. Mr.. Reyes is too intent on the
future to be duly mindful of the past, and is
habituaily fired with zeal in the interests OF
those whose help he wants next year.
This is certainly a very naive way of
putting it, but those who know the two
men referred TO and are neither preiudic-
cd for nor against them, will not regard
it as a fair presentation of the case. Mr..
Sawyer is a man of great wealth, has re-
ceived much at the hands of the people.
and it would be greatly to his discredit if
he did not reward those TO whom he is
indebted for his elevation. He has had
the ability to reward his friends by fas
tening them upon the public service in
various federal positions This has cost
him nothing save a recommendation to
the appointing power. AS Mr. Howe
says, he has given of his means to various
religious aud benevolent,
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-12-29

and has by that means become exceeding
ly popular. But is not this open to the
suspicion of being done with IA lively
sense of favors to come" The effect so
stated by Mr.. Howe must have been pro-
duced by the cause, and hence SAWYER
is as open to the sheer quoted as is Mr.
Reyes.
MIR. Reyes has rendered more political
favors than any other man in Wisconsin.
True, he has chung to his three thousand
dollar postoffice like a barnacle for twen-
ty years, but up to the last Senatorial cleo
ton he has asked no other political Office
for himself. Here is the head and front
of his offending. Two years ago he was
a candidate for the United States Senate
against Howe, who had held the office
for eighteen years, and Carpenter, who
had held it for six years. Finding that it
would be impossible to gain an election
he combined his forces with those of Mr..
Carpenter against Howe and Sawyer, and
and the result was Carpenters election
Mr.. Howe, who had previously been ready
to receive Mr. Keyes' support, and was
frequently beholden to him for great ia
vors, then conceived violent hatred of
his benefactor, and became an active op-
ponent of bossism in politics, though that
system had always been employed for his
advantage with his full knowledge and
consent
Mr.. Reyes is politician, and has made
his living by politics. Mr.. Howe is also
politician, and has made his living out
of office holding for thirty years or more.
1t is difficult for an unprecedented person
to perceive what right the latter has to
criticisc the methods of the former If
one is open to censure, the other is also
blameable. There is no preference be-
tween the two, but as between Keyes and
Sawyer the former would be by far the
ablest Senator. He would be an excellent
companion of Senator Carpenter, and he
is quite as honest as the
average of Republican politicians.
Though this is not great compliment ii
is the truth.

Hon EMORY SPEER, of Georgia, has
been giving his opinions on matters and
things at the South, and has suggested a
few means by which Congress can dc
much towards building up that section
and stimulating manufacturing indus
tries. Among other things he recon-
mends the abolition of the tax on cotton
machinery, to the end that the cotton
crop of the South may be manufactured
where it is grown. He represents that
there are great many men of capital at
the South who are anxious to engage in
these enterprises, but are deferred by rea-
son of the high taxes imposed upon cot
ton machinery. This matter is certainly
deserving of the serious consideration of
Congress. 1t would probably do more
than anything else to aid the development
of the South to take the tax off this sort
of machinery, while it would not serious
ly impoverish the treasury.

The Slayers of Andrew Haenerish Near w

nniS

The Slayers of Andrew Haenerish Near Wa
bashaw Last Summer Captured in I'LL
nOis.
1t will be remembered by readers of the
GLOBE that on the night of the 3lst of
July last farm laborer named Andrew
Haenerish was brutality murdered by
three tramps, between Wabashaw and
Lake City, who rushed out of the bushes
and pounded him till they believed life
was extinct. They then robbed him of
all the money he had, some $40, and
left him lying by the roadside He was
found by a passing farmer who conveyed
him to neighboring house, Here he re-
covered sufficiently to narrate the story of
the tragedy, and soon afterward died. A
party was at once organized for the pur-
suit of the miscreants, and got nea1
enough to fire few shots at them, none
of which, however, took effect. They
were so closely pursued, however. that
they jumped into Lake Pepin and swan
for the opposite shore.
1t was believed for "a time that the muir
derers had been drowned before reaching
the Wisconsin side of the lake, but sub
Sequent events proved that such was moi
the case. About the middle of this
month the police of Quincy, ILL.,, found
three suspicious characters around that
city, and on comparing the photographs
of the murderers with their cOuntenances
they came to the conclusion that the men
were wanted for the offense detailed
above. Orders were accordingly
given for their arrest. Two
of them, Abe Woolworth and
Mill Haines, were arrested on the
18th INST, at Quincy, and the other, Hose
DevOl, was taken into custody on the
same day fifty miles south of that city
while endeavoring to make his escape
Gov. Pillsbury was informed of the fact
by telegraph at once, and requisition
for their return to Minnesota was issued
Some delay ensued, but yesterday they
arrived at Wabashaw and were lodged in
Jail.
The capture is an important one, and
it is to be hoped that the miscreants will
receive their just deserts. They confess
to being the persons delineated in the
photographs, and to having passed par
of last summer in Minnesota, but pro-
test their innocence of the murder Some
of the party who pursued them, how.
ever, got close enough to distinguish theil

Action for goods sold and delivered The
defense was that after the debt became due the
defendants transferred to plaintiff two prom
issory notes of third persons as collateral Sc
curity for the debt, in consideration whereof
the plaintiff agreed with defendants that the
time for payment of the debt should be ex-
tended to April LIST, 1879 The action was
brought before that date.
Whether a covenant not to sue within a
given time be defense or as some cases hold
be not defense to an action brought within
the time, we have no hesitation in holding
that a valid extension of the time of payment,
is a defense to an action brought within the
time of the extension. During such times the
debtor is not in default, the debt is not de-
mandable, not due.
So far as there may have been default and
right to sue for it prior to the time of the
agreement to extend the time of payment, it
must be taken to be waived by the extension.
Such is, of course, the intention of the parties
to the agreement, and where the agreement is
valid there can be no reason why a court
should disregard it. Judgment affirmed.
