DAYLIGHT D4WNING.

The sensation of yesterday was the exclu-
sive publication by the GLOBE of the report
of the sub committee on elections in favor
of unseating Washburn and seating Donnel-
ly. The review of the evidence was SO strong
and the logic by which the conclusion was
reached was SO irresistible, that those who
have listened only to Republican representa-
tions of the matter were astonished-w
might say overwhelmed. The record of
shameless bribery traced directly home to
Washburn, convinced every honest man
that he should be sent into retire.
ment and the proof was clear and conclusive
that of the unbought and unintimidated vote
Mr.. Donnelly received the majority. Men
vino had heretofore thought the case against
Washburn was not made out, surrendered,
and those who had believed Washburn
should go, but were in doubt relative to the
justice of seating Donnelly, were fully con-
vinced that both resolutions of the COM
mittee should be adopted. The "outrage''
so much harped upon by Republican papers
vanished into thin air before the clear and
irresistible argument of the report.

THERE were great many tn ings the Pub
lie Examiner might have embodied in his
report, which were omitted. For instance,
previous to the consolidation of the Pioneer
and the Press, each one paid taxes ION
twenty-iv thousand dollars worth of pro-
perty, total of fifty thousand dollars.
When those papers were consolidated they
formed the basis for stock company with
$225,O0O capital. Assessor McClung listed
the new concern at $125,0OO, giving them
the benefit of 100000 for shrinkage in the
stock. This was not satisfactory, and the
owners went before the board of abate-
ment and actually secured reduction to
25,OO0-just one-half of the previous as
sessment of the two concerns separately.
From that day to this that concern has paid
On only 1926, 900, thus absolutely wiping out
$4,000 of taxable property by the consoli-
dation. AS this has run for five years the
county has already lost the taxes on
$125,OOO worth of property and is liable to
continue to lose on $4,000 annually, ad
infnituna, unless the Public Examiner comes
to the front and exposes the transaction.
AS Messrs. Wheelock and Driscoll are op-
posed to Sinking taxes We presume they
will endorse any efforts of Mr.. Knox to re-
cover this lost property to the tax rolls.

It will be seen that the first letter ls q and
the first number "a. The special principle
of our puzzle is to place the consecutive
numbers from to "a in regular order, and
so on ad infnitum, and to put the letters in
such q position that they will form neat

mathematics are beautifully combined in our
way of constructing puzzles.
You commence operations by moving G.

the square of the hypotenuse. This natur-
ally causes vacuum The next business
on the programme is to place the II and the

It is now time to turn the box topsy -turvy,
and to prove that the angles at the base Of

and if the equal sides be produced, the

this, take out the %, push mp the 8, push

POSIOFFICE ROBBERY.

The CuIprit Arrested and Brought to St.
Paul.
Yesterday afternoon, United States Mar
shall McLaren returned to st. Paul from
Albert Lea, having in custody J. s. Com
stock, who was arrested by the authorities
there, on Thursday, for robbing the post
Office. The robbery occurred on the night
of the 18th, and the booty stolen
consisted of postal cards, stamped
envelopes, postage stamps, an about $40 in
nickels and dimes. The holiness of the rob
berry, and the fact that several places have
been burglarized during the past few weeks,
caused considerable alarm. On Wednesday
Comstock visited all the saloons, aud, being
very drunk, displayed pocket full of small
coin. This excited some suspicion,
and Postmaster Gillrup caused his arrest on
the suspicion of being the robber.
A visit was made to Comstock's house,
situated at Shell Rock, short distance from
Albert Lea, and on searching the barn the
goods taken from the postofie were found
concealed there. The house being searched
lot of jewelry, amounting to
800, which was recently stolen
from Brager's jewelry store, and a quantity
of cigars and liquors stolen from saloon
were found. Comstock is a young man
about 81 years old and came to Albert Lea
from Jackson county, Mich. last fall, bring
ing with him his wife and two children. He
says he committed the roboeries from neces-
sity, and was led to the acts by strong drink.
Owing to the absence of District Attorney
Billson the examination of tide prisoner was
continued until this morning, and he was
committed to Jail.

The st. Paul GLOBE states that portion
of the Democratic press are striving to avoid
the issue of the bloody shirt, in the coming
Presidential campaign, and asserts that it
will have to be met, as the Republicans have
determined to inaugurate it. We believe the
GLOBE is correct, when it asserts that the
Republican leaders have determined to swing
the bloody garment on high. 1t is their only
stock in trade. The Democracy, however,
should make their campaign on other issues,
revive some of the issues that the
events Of the last twenty years have
crowded out of sight, there are plenty of
them. The Democracy must not be put on
the defensive; when that position is as
sumed half the battle is lost. The needs of
the country demand that the administration
should be changed, new live issues brought
before the people will hasten this change
and if they are raised by the Democracy the

Scheme Of the Trunk Line Railroads Dis

ST. LOUIS, March 19.-The board of di-
rectors of the merchants exchange, after
free discussion of the circular recently is-
sued by Commissioner Fink relative to
freight rates from common points of ship
ment in the west to European ports, directed
the president of the exchange to appoint a
committee to frame a protest against the pro-
posed plan, and to ask other boards of trade
in the west to join the protest. It is the
opinion of several leading exporters of this
city that the plan to control ocean freights
by trunk line railroads if carried out will
kill the export business of the west.

SAYS the Philadelphia Times: "Mr. Sey-
mour has about as difficult time to make
people understand that he is not candidate
as Secretary Sherman has to convince them
that he is one." There is one difference,
however. A great many people seem to de-
sire Mr.. Seymour to be a candidate, while
no one, as far as we have been able to learn,
desires Mr.. Sherman to become candidate
for President. The people will be apt to
favor candidate who is not willing to stand

THE removal of the Falls of st. Anthony to

upper Mississippi and its tributaries less i'm
portant than before. The confluence of the
Minnesota river with the Mississippi at Men

ONE of the arguments used by the Wash
burn gang is that this is a hopelessly Repub-
lican district and hence it was impossible
foH Democratic candidate to have been
elected to Congress in 1878. In 1875, Al
bert Scheffer was the Democratic candidate
for State treasurer and he carried the Third
Minnesota district by 1881 majority. There
was no brass kettle or other special boom
that year, but Mr.. Scheffer carried the dis
trict plump and square. The campaign was
quiet in 1875 in comparison with 1878, and
it was not near as much of an undertaking
to have elected Democrat in this district in
1878 as it was for Mr.. Scheffer to carry it in
1875.

The Minneapolis Tribune and Pioneer

didn't Mr.. Washburn attempt to disprove

bring witnesses to rebut the charges. On
the contrary Mr.. Donnelly was without
means to bear the expense of securing one
1.-THE of the damning evidence which was
attainable. If Mr.. Washburn could have
disproved such evidence as was secured
would he not have done so? His failure to
even make the attempt was an open con-
fession of his guilt. Abusing the witnesses
proves nothing and counts for not hing.
