for the passage Of items that a full consider
alton would prove to be unnecessary. The
estimates of the departments call for large
additions for salaries of public officials.
These should all be disallowed, for the Of
ficers of the government are already better
recompensed for their labors than are men
engaged in similar work in other fields of
labor. 1t may be necessary to somewhat In
crease the appropriations to the postofice
department, in order to provide for extern
sions of the mail service in the Western ter
ritories, but with this exception there is no
necessity for adding to the burdens of the
people. The increase of the army to its
lawful complement of enlisted men accord
ing to law, need involve no great expense,
the balance being susceptible of being
arranged by reorganization of the staff SER
vice, and the dropping from the roster of q
few hundred superAuous officers. The navy
needs no more money than it has been re-
oeiving. There is an ample fund on hand to
provide for the repair of the vessels that are
at present in the navy, as we'll as for the
construction of such new vessels as the SER
vice may require. 1t is not at all probable
that this country will be involved in war
with any maritime power for many years to
come, Notwithstanding Secretary Ramsey's
apprehensions. There is therefore no neces-
sity for the expenditure of the large amounts
asked for coast defenses.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will insist
upon strict adherence to the principles of
economy that have for 80 long governed the
Democratic party. This is not the time for
lavish expenditures. 1t is the first duty
of the governing powers to pro-
vide for the reduction of the
public debt and the diminution of the annual
charge for interest. When this obligation
is met, and balance remains in the treas
ury it will be time enough to increase sal
aries and enter upon system of naval arm
ament and coast defense. The improve
ment of the great national highways, the
Mississippi river especially, should first con-
Germ our legislators.
There are no political questions that call
for attention at the coming session. There
are many reforms, it is true, that would be
beneficial to the country, but as any bill
having for its purpose their Inauguration is
certain to meet with the disapproval of Mr..
Hayes, it is useless to waste time in Discus
sing or framing them. Let the session be
devoted strictly to business, and every
proper means be used to restrict the expen-
ditures of the government to the lowest pos
sible limit. By pursuing this course the
Democrats can make record for themselves
that will stand them in good service in the
future.

about 12X15 feet in size. All the offices of
the company are to all outward appearances
filled by MIR. j. b. Bassett. He runs a linn
Der office in connection with the other business
But this little railroad is still great one. It
holds, as 1t were, the balance of power between
some of the greatest corporations in the
country. Some years ago one ur two ruads
owned all the tracks leading TO the mills. and
were go selfish "a natural failing of most rail-
road corporations) as to exclude the cars of
other lines from the mills. This was serious
embargo on the milling industry To over
come the trouble the Minneapolis Eastern oom-
pany was organized, and a track was laid from
the North Star Iron works to the mills, and
three tracks were laid on trestle among the
mills. This removed the difficulty and other
roads could hand the wheat to the mills and
take away the flour without paying bonus or
ransom. The monopoly was broken and the
great Eastern was the mediator, and holds the
balance ofp over.
But Minneapolis is growing, the Eastern ia
booming, and the road must be extended. The
company already have charter from this city
to st. Paul, and perhaps they, or he, is figuring
to build the line in the near future to that
point. At the meeting of the city council to-
day petition will be presented asking leave to
extend the read across the Mississippi, and
from thence to the mills and manufacturers on
that side.
The GLOBE endeavored to find President Bas.
sett in order to learn the full details of the
plans and present them to the public before
any other journal. But as Mr.. Bassett was
absent from the temple over which he presi6es
with all the independence of a Vanderbilt.
there was no one except SOLITARY
bookkeeper to inquire of. and
he knew very little about the
matter. He said bridge will be built across
the river somewhere between the falls and the
suspension bridge, but exactly where he
couldn't tell. The Improvement, ANYWAY. ia
of no small Importance. 1t will give the new
Pillsbury mill, as we'll as the other mills ON
that side, new outlet. If it is found reces-
sary to build another bridge across the river
minneapolis will have good claims to be called
the second city of bridges.

Runaway and Serious Casualty.

Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock, q
runaway occurred which is likely to result
fatally to an aged German woman by the
name of Sophia Zillmann, who lives, or rath.
or has lived out on the Como road in the
neighborhood of Miller's store. At the time
mentioned above shew was walking on Seventh
street on the north side, between Rosabel
and Wacouta. She had nearly reached Beck
er's drug store, on her way toward Sibley
street, when horse at full speed with the
shafts of cutter flying about him, came up
the walk behind her and ran squarely against
the old lady knocking her down upon the
hard pavement with terrible force. She was
taken up insensible and carried into Beck
er's drug store, where she was most kindly
and tenderly cared for. DR.. Richeson was
summoned, and made as thorough an ex-
animation as was possible under the
circumstances. He could not find that any
bones were broken. but considered her seri-
ously if not fatally Injured, internally. Mrs.
Gilman was for long time insensible, and,
as no one knew who she was, her relatives
could not Immediately be notified. After
nearly an hour, by the aid of restoratives
diligently applied, she began to rally a lit
tie, but when she could speak she was found
to be deaf, and it was some time ere she
could be made to understand sufficiently to
answer questions. At last it was found that
she had brother-in law named Wendt, who
is miller in Indexes mill, and she was re-
turning from visit there when the acoi-
dent happened. Mr.. Becker, on learning
this, instantly dispatched his clerk to notify
these relatives. Wendt was at the mill, and
seemed perfectly Indifferent to the old
woman's fate, and it was some time before
he could be induced to 90
to his house and tell his wife of the accident
to her aged sister. He finally did so, how.
ever, and Mrs. Wendt hastened to the store
Mrs. zillmann was living entirely alone, with
no one to take care of her. She is woman
about go years of age and much less liable to
rally from the shock than younger person,
even had she sustained no internal hurts.
When her circumstances became known q
hack was procured and she was taken to the
city hospital. When the horse passed Beck.
er's store he came near running over an
other lady, who, being able to hear, which
Mrs. Zillmann was not, had just warning
enough to spring into the doorway in time
to save herself. Previous to these escapades
the horse had upset the cutter to which he
was attached and threw out two ladies', blu,
without doing them any serious harm.

George Washington seIge1 and John Aller

george washington Se1geI and John Allen,
The police court was crowded with col
ored gemmen yesterday morning to witness
the upshot of the case of the State against
George Washington Seigel, charged with
trying to bore daylight through the cocoanut
of John Allen with bis little pistol.
Allen came into court with his woody head
done up in bandana and with eyes shining
like locomotive headlights. A look of
relief and surprise overspread the broad
visage of Seigel as the portly form of Allen
doomed up, demonstrating that thas darkey

Seigel was arraigned on the charge of as
sault with dangerous weapon, and Aliens
surprise may be imagined when he was
asked to plead to the charge of disorderIy
conduct. The parties engaged in dispute
at Evans saloon Monday afternoon, which
Seigel settled by drawing his .gun'' and
emptSing the contents into the body of
Allen. Three shots were fired, resulting in
no particular injury. The testimony showed
that Allen had bulldozed Seigel into shoot
ing and that the former deserved all he got.
They were each committed for ninety days.

"a Golden Gsna.o

The first presentation. of Mr.. j. w. Shan
mons new comedy, ga Golden Game,' was
given at the Opera house last evening under
some disadvantages. The company was
wearied by long journey, and did not ap-
pear at its best. The house was rather chill
ly, and the stage hands were unfortunately
misled by improper signals which resulted
in the marring of the last act in very pro-
voking manner, not only to the audience
but to the people on the stage. The play is
clean, interesting comedy, based upon the
fortunes at an honest German merchant in
America, Max Strauss, who, defrauded by his
partner, is obliged to fee the country in dis
grace. He goes to Australia aud retrieves
his fortunes, pays the obligations his dis
honest partner had incurred and returns to
find his daughter woman grown. and be-
trothed to Cyril Brinkworth, the SON of his
old partner, though surrounded by a web
which threatens her ruin-the plots of a pair
of adventures who seek the money she is
supposed to possess. These are discounted
through the efforts of the father, when the
revelation that his daughters fancee is the
son of his former traitsrous partner is
brought to him. The marriage is prohibit
ed, but when it transpires that the would be
bridegroom is only the foster son of the
wretch who had done him SO great an injury,
IS allowed to proceed. There are many
striking dramatic situations in the play, but
none of the blood end thunder order. The
dialogue ia at times uninterestipg and is sus-
ceptible of improvement, but on the whole
it is not a work lacking in the
essentials of dramatic success. The
actors were all excellent Mr.. Shannon as
Max Strauss gave fine representation of an
honorable, obstinate business man and an
affectionate father. Mr.. Edeson as Bob
Sampson had good scope for tbs display of
his abilities as comedian, of which he
availed himself to the full. Mics Cora Tan
ner made very engaging Clara, and by her
excellent acting enhanced the charms that
nature has bestowed SO lavishly upon her.
The remainder of the cast was good, with
ont exception, and the company may safely
rely upon an increase of patronage during
their stay here. The performance will be
repeated tonight.
