THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.

The total vote of the United States at the
last election was $685. 500, against 8, AL, 1886
in 1876, an increase of more than
three quarters of million voters in four
years. Of these Garfield received 4, 440, 566,
Hancock 4,4S6,057, Weaver 305, 1859, Dow
10,113 and Phelps, anti Masonic candidate,
a beggarly 1850. The Northern States cast
about seventy per cent. of the vote, and the
States of the South about thirty per cent.
The latter figures do not convey a correct
idea of the relative population of the two
sections for the reason that in many dis
tricts In the South there was no opposition
to the Democratic candidates and cense-
quently the vote was lighter than it would
have been if there was vigorous and concert
ed opposition. 1t is probable that the South
contains about forty per cent of the entire
voting population of the country, the re-
naming sixty per cent. being located at the
North. There was considerable falling off
of the votes cast in Virginia since 1876, q
slight decrease in New York, nearly tw enty
per cent. in Mississippi, almost the same pro-
portion in Louisiana, nearly ten per cent. in
Georgia and about seven per cent. in Ala
bama. ALI the other States show an in
crease.
There are some instructive suggestions to
be obtained from the record of the vote cast
the most prominent feature is the di-
minution of the Greenback vote. That
party is practically obliterated from the
political arena, and will never again be even
half way respectable figure in politics
The organization has been try
ing to maintain its existence
upon what has for years been dead ISSUE
and the sooner it retires from active par
ticipation in our affairs the better it will be
for those who compose the small segment
of the American people.
The temperance reformers persist in run
ming candidate for the Presidency yea,
after year, even though there has never been
the slightest possibility of his election. This
year he received but little over ten thousand
votes. 1t is notable that in his own State
where the Maine liquor law has been in
force for over twenty years, Gen. Dow re.
ceived less than hundred votes. His
largest vote was received in Ohio, where be
had 2,61S votes. In many of the States
there were no electoral tickets for the
temperance candidates in the field
and they did not, as conse
quence, receive single vote. The anti
Masonic ticket presented sorry figure, and
was not even factor in the canvass. The
idiocy had better be abandoned at as early 6
day as is convenient, for those who engage
in it only subject themselves to the ridicult
of all sensible people.
Though Mr.. Garfield is elected to the
Presidency he is still minority President
the majority against him being over thre,
hundred thousand. He received, however
much larger vote than did his predecessor
and enters upon the duties of the Office will
the consciousness of having been legal,
elected, a fact that Mr.. Hayes could no
boast of.

SANITARY COUNCIL.

Recommends That Quarantine of the
Mississippi Valley Be Under Charge OF
National Commission.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 9.-The Sanitary
council of the Mississippi valley. with rep
resentation from the States of Michigan,
Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Ten
nessee, Wisconsin, Illinois and Louisiana,
met in called session this morning at 8
O'Clock, at Grinewald hall. DIR. r. G. Ken
zie, of Lansing, Mich, president of the
council, delivered short address, setting
forth the duty of the council in promoting
the sanitary interests of the Mississippi val
ley. The executive committee, through the
president, presented the following PROPOSE
tions for consideration and discussion:
First, what authority shall have charge and
be held responsible for the public health of
the Mississippi valley, SO far as comprised
by commerce and travel? Second, shall quar-
antine aim to keep infectious epidemic di-
seases entirely out of the Mississippi river, or
limit their spread after they have entered?
A long discussion followed, the result of
which was the adoption of the following:
WHEREAS, Experience has shown that meas
ures of quarantine under sole direction of the
local State boards of health have not succeed-
ed in the protection of this valley from the in
vasion of yellow fever, and
WHEREAS. Our people habitually view with dis
trust all announcements and sanitary acts of 10
cal boards, when those acts or announcements
are of character to affect the commercial in
terests of the locality directly concerned.
RESOLVED, That in our opinion the general
government alone, acting through its consti-
uted sanitary agents, should have direction and
control of the national maratime quaran-
tine.
The council then adjourned to meet to-
morrow forenoon at 9 o'clock.

HE st. Louis papers are agitating the
subject of deepening the channel of the
Mississippi river to the average depth of
eight feet from that city to Cairo. The
present freight blockade is attributed to the
neglect of the government to provide for the
dredging of the river. This neglect should
be atoned for without delay, for the trans
portation business of the Mississippi valley
demands it. The river between st. Louis
and st. Paul is also greatly in need of i'm
provement, and Congress should not ad-
journ without providing for prosecuting the
work at as early period as possible in the
spring.

Our Red Brsthren in Wiscon sin.

Happening to meet Major Chas. A. Ruffee
United States Indian agent for the Chips
was of Minnesota, our reporter asked the
news from our cred brethren" Major Ruffee
stated that the supplies for the Leech Lake
Indians had been delayed for want of tran.
sportation, but that the last of the shipments
are now between Brainerd and Leech Lake.
The money for their annuity has been on
deposit with the Second National bank in
this city, awaiting receipt of the contract
goods; that both money and goods could be
distributed together, saving the Indians from
distance making second trip. This mon
ey was forwarded by the United States ex.
press on Wednesday. The payment and dis
tribution will take place next week. The
Indians are peacable, quiet, without com mo-
ton, and you can assure the public that the
Chippewas are happy and in prosperous
condition.

SAUK CENTER.

The new bank building of Prendegast g.
Kells and the fine two story brick of S. M.
Bruce give this place quite business look.
The former building is finely located for bust
ness and model of convenience and ele.
gance internally. 1t is two story solid
brick, built on corner-fronts north and
east, and when completed and furnished will
be not one whit behind the best country
bank in the State. It is to be furnished
with "Deibold" vault doors and burglar
proof safe and will be ready for occupancy
about January 1, 1881. Below are the refer
ences, which Of themselves guarantee the
"Bank of Sank Center ss reliable private
banking concern, and in this vicinity the
names of Pendergast & Kells carry kind of
confidence that business men are not slow
to appreciate. The ST. Paul references are:
Auerbach, Finch, Culbertson & Co.; P. II.
Kelly & :. Co.; Merchants
and First National banks;
First National, of Minneapolis, and the
American Exchange National bank, of New
York. Hon. E. P. Barnum will be also
found behind the counter and with his we'll.
known business ability will be valuable aid
in handling the large and rapidly increasing
business the bank enjoys. Their building is
22x45, two stories high; the upper floor be-
ing fitted up for offices. Across the way the
"Bruer" block, or one section of it, 22x6O,
two stories, is very neat and tasty building.
Although these are the principal new bus
mess structures which have been built this
season, in the matter of residences large
amo1nt of improvement can be traced, and
the new and in some instances elegant dwell
ings dot the whole village. Still, with all
the new buildings, there is not single hab.
liable dwelling to be. rented for love or mon
ey in the village. Then the Sank Center
house, although lately enlarged by
its owner, Capt. Coe, is crowded constantly.
In the line of manufacturing institutions,
besides the large steam Touring mill and
elevator of Harmon Holmes, there have
been two feed mills and private elevator
built this season. West of the village, also,
is water mill of considerable capacity, and
sawmill for cutting hard wood lumber is
being built. Messrs. Mann & Allison, two
very practical and thorough machinists,
have this past summer put in foundry and
machine shop, and are doing splendid
business already. This last enterprise is
regarded as of great importance by the peo-
pie here. On the whole. taking it up one
side and down the other, Sank Center is in
about as furnishing condition as any town
on the line, and the GLOBE is pleased to note
its thrift and prosperity.

AMERICAN FINANCES.

English Opinions That the United State.
Debt Can Be Refunded at Low Interest

terday. The applications amounted to over
ETA ,O00,0 900, varying from an official mini
mum of SO to 1044 per cent. Tenders
at 1O3 will receive about II per cent. OF
the amount bid for those about that figure
will receive the amount bid for in full. A
financier in discussion of the foregoing in
connection with the redemption of the
American debt says the United States will
be apt to rate its credit as at least equal to
that of India. 1t may be questioned wheth.
or, on the Issue of the coming loan for re-
funding the bonds falling due next year, the
secretary of the treasury will be so liberal as
to give 80 per cent. when he can evidently
float bonds at lower rate. The India loan
has strongly held the markets for all first
class investments, but prices are somewhat
restrained by rumors that 100000 will be
taken to-day or Thursday for New York, an
operation which would render an advence of
rates on Thursday to per cent. possible.
The Times, in financial article, says the
finances of the United States may excite
the envy not only of England, but of Eu-
rope. The rate of redemption is having its
natural effect in raising the credit of the
United States to level with most of the old
world. In reaching that level the United
States will only attain it's rightful position as
country whose resources are so unlimited,
whose population has increased with such
remarkable rapidity, ought to enjoy the best
credit acceded to any State. In all proba-
bility, should conditions remain favorable,
Secretary Sherman will accomplish his re-
funding operations at q rate nearer three
than four per cent. The rapidity with
which he is able to pay off tho debt must
aid him most materially by reducing the
supply of stock, and this, acting with an
augmenting demand for sound Investment,
will give him inoalculable advantages in his
operation,
