Last night thieves broke through shed
door in the rear of Staples & Winship's of
fee, and then broke panel out of the
office door, showed back the bolt, and entered
the office and commenced operations on the
safe. If the outside safe door was looked,
the thieves must have been acquainted with
the combination, as the door was not
marked in the least. They then broke the
drawers to pieces, in the safe, and took out
the iron box and carried it into another
room, and with hammer broke the box,
and found 300, which of course they carried
off. Mr.. Winship is not in the habit of
leaving that amount in the safe over night
but had kept the money to pay freight
bill, and the parties not coming for il until
after bank hours, it was too late to deposit.
This is the second time Mr.. Winship's office

The Democrats of Minneapolis seem to be
sleeping good deal at present, but IL Indiana
speaks the right away next Tuesday, it will
be demonstrated that they are only resting for
grand advance all along the line. The solid
men of the party have signifed their intention
to get up big demonstration, and one that
will surpass anything of the kind they have
heretofore held. Minneapolis Democrats will
be up and doing if Indiana does her duty to
the party.

him to enjoy the leisure of a trip to
Europe. He omits to state that he belongs
to the ring which controls the elevators and
is plundering the farmers and compelling
them to resort to the building of free eleva,

are numerous omissions which the GLOBE

He closed bis address by dedicating the in
stitution to the Methodists of Minnesota.
At the close of the address Mr. John Stafford
took the door and announced that the universe
~ had now pretty good ground work for a
library. 1t contained some seven or eight
hundred volumes of the choicest works. He
then called for contributions from the clergy
men and friends of the institution who
were present. The liberal hearted Metho.
dists were not slow to respond to his
appeal. In a very few moments they
had donated fully five hundred volumes.
the gifts varying with the circumstances of
the donors, from two volumes to fifty each.
The remarkable success attending his effort
stimulated Mr.. Stafford to make another can
vass of the chapel hall and see if he could
not make the number of volumes 700. He did
not have to wait long. Several Of the ladies
came to the front, one by giving fifty choice
volumes. and the aim was exceeded.
Several gentlemen. in answer to
a request made by Prof. Johns. gave
q quantity of articles to contribute to the para
phernalia of gymnasium.
Mr.. Stafford said he wished to correct an
erroneous impression which seem to prevail in
some parts of the State relative to inadequacy
of boarding accommodations for students. They
had accommodations for y good number more.
and would be in condition to receive at least
100 additional students in short time.
All in all. the prospect of Hsmline University
presents bright and glorious future.
The meeting was closed by singing the dox-
olosy. and the benediction. An hour was spent
in quiet conversation while waiting for the
train to bring them back to Minneapolis.

newspapers to prepay their postage instead
OF distributing that burden among the
subscribers. In year or two,
when the hue and cry was over, the ranking
privilege was partially restored, while the
tax on newspaper publishers has ever since
been imposed, as penalty for their exposure
of the rascality of Congressman. The new
franking law, however, provided that no
Congressman should use stamp for his
frank, but that he should in every case
write his name upon the envelope. Bill
Washburn is daily violating this law
by turning his frank over to his political
committee in stamp, and it is altogether
probable that he sells his ranking stamp
for business purposes, to raise the wind for
his campaign. He should be arrested and
punished for his fragrant violation of law,
and he will be if District Attorney Billson
will do his duty.

The minutes of previous session read. The
bishop was highly dissatisfied with the manner
in which the minutes were prepared. He gave
the secretary a little of gratuitous advice, but
the secretary did not appear to be very W il
ling pupil. There is possibly something of the
tyrannical about the bishop.
The conference was addressed by Rev. Mr.
Nelson, fraternal delegate of the Scandinavian

warm discussion arose over the use of to-
bacco. The bishop was most emphatically
against it.

in the conference could meet with the success
that has been his. He has been at work in
the hardest of all hard towns. He especially
expounded the remarkably successful feats
performed by the brother in collecting money
He was certainly legion in himself. At
the conclusion of his eulogy ON Mr.. Bull, Mr..
Jackson called for a collection to be taken to

DAsrARDLY JOURNALISM.

"Hsnoock as Rebel"
"Hancock as Thief"
These are the headings of the two editori
al articles that appeared in the st, Pau
Pioneer Press yesterday. The G LOBE does
not hesitate to pronounce the man who
would pen the words quoted vile miscreani
whom 'twere base aattery to call dog. In

member of the canine species, our apology
would be due to the dog. 1t makes no diff.
ference what the articles referred to contain
The intention sought to be conveyed by the
headings is that Hancock was traitor an6
@ dishonest man.
When the dirty dog of an editor who penned
these words-again craving pardon of the
dog for SO insulting a comparison-was
sneaking under cover Of the British fae
to avoid a draft into the service of the Uni.

whom he has the effrontery to malign and

70 upon every battlefield of the army of the
Potomac. The sneaking bastard who now
presumes to question Gen. Hancock's bra
very was then doing all he could to escape
the perils of military service.
No respectable journal in the North has
made the endeavor to impugn the patriotism
of Gen. Hancock. The task has been left
to the Pioneer Press of st. Paul, which has
proved its capability for the filthiest of all
dirty work, to thus malign an honest, patri-
otto and true soldier. No one capable of
offering So gross an indignity to man OF
integrity is entitled to the respect usually
accorded to the lowest of the animal crea
ton. They should be spit upon by every
man who lays claim to the semblance of

To presume that Hancock was or could be

far. The man who asserts either PROPOSE

who wrote the Pioneer Press editorial knew

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT IN WIS.
CONHIN.

The campaign in Wisconsin is waxing
warm, especially in the close Compression al
districts. In the Milwaukee district the
contest Is between two Germans, Mr.. P. v.
Deuster, the sitting member, and Casper
II. Sanger, formerly sheriff of Milwaukee
county. The chances are all in favor of
Mr.. Deuster, who has proved himself capa-
BILE and sagacious member of the House.
In the Third district, now represented by
Mr.. Hazelton, the Democrats have nominal
ed Judge M. M. Cothren, a man who has
the respect of every voter in the district not
only for his fine intellectual capacity, but for
his sterling personal worth. He will no
doubt poll the full vote of the party, and at
tract many personal friends from the Rspub-
iican ranks. As Mr.. Hazelton was elected
two years ago by a majority of only ninety
two, there is chsnce-indeed probability
that Judge Cothren will reach Washing
ton as full fledged Representative, an
honor which he has long craved, yet one that
he will fittingly ill.
In the Second district there is an active
campaign in progress. The opposing can
didates are j. @. Gregory, Democrat, and L.
B. Caswell, Republican. Both are strong
men in their respective parties, but Mr..
Gregory is by all odds the superior of the
two intellectually. He is lawyer of more
than local renown. and a man whom all his
neighbors have delighted to honor In the
past. AS an orator he has but few peers in
Wisconsin, State noted for the eloquence
Of the members OF its bar. He will be @
strong candidate, and will stand fair chance
of election in the district, hitherto represent
ed by Republican.
There is considerable doubt as to the re-
suit in the Sixth district, now represented
by Gen. Gabe Bouck, a Democrat. He has
been faithful and efficient member of the
House, but has made himself decidedly un-
popular. He is opposed by Hon. Richard
Guenther, a very popular German, who but
recently vacated the Office of state treasurer
In this district there is possibility of 6
Democratic loss, but this will be compen.
stated for and probably discounted by the
choice of two extra Democrats to the mex
House from the Second and Third districts
The Democrats have every reason to hops
that they will gain at least one member Of
Congress from Wisconsin. They canno
lose ground under any circumstances. Tht
members of the party are fully alive to tn,
exigencies of the campaign, and will see tt
It that no voters who are entitled to thu
franchise are deprived of it, and that none
who are not qualified to vote are permitted
to vote for the Republican candidates.
