In Mr.. Garfeld's letter of acceptance he
stated that appointments to office should be
made on recommendations of Senators and
Representatives from the respective States
and districts, or implied SIS much. This
must be considered as complete surrender
to the demands of the Congressman who re-
ward their constituents for their services by
offices. In speech in 1876 he said:
"Congressmen have become the dispensers
sometimes the brokers, of patronage, and civil
Office has become vast cerrupting power to be
used in running the machine of party politics.
Every man of the I02, GOO feels that his only
hope of staying is in toadyins to those in pow
err, so that the offices are an immense bride, Sc
curing to the party in power an army of re-
tainers who are the most servile of their sort
in the world. Nothing less than the absolute
divorce Of the appointing function from Con-
gress can remedy the evil. 1t should be done
50 completely that every member of Congress
shall be able to make such boast as Thomas
Hughes, NJ. p, did on his visit to this country
that, although he was personally on good
terms with every member of the cabinet, he
could not influence the appointment of clerk. "

that on Saturday night last he YES hung 10 @

he was II BrownstoED, this county, ard
while sitting in front of DR.. Stillwel's
drug store, in that place, q man came up to
him and asked him who he vas going TO
vote for, and he replied that he had no vote,
but that If he had no would vote for Han
COCK. The man then said. "You are rebel
-, are you? Well fix you!'' and
WITH that went away. About ten or half
past ten O'Clock the same night he want over
to the court house yard, to the public well,
to get drink, and that while thera he was
approached by crowd of eight or nine men,
none of whom he recognized, and one of
them, who appeared to be the leader, came
to him and said, "Here is the rebel ----
now" and with that threw rope over
his head. He then began begging
them to let him go, and asked them what
they intended doing, to viii Oh they replied
that they intended hanging him, aud dragged
him off to tree, under which they stopped,
and the leader said, s'Here We hung two up
before, G. d-you, and we're going to hang
you here" With that they pulled him up,
and let him hang until he IVES almost dead,
and then let him down. He further states
that he was unconscious for time, and
unable to speak. The crowd left him lying
on the ground, and, when he recovered his
senses, he crswled to bench, and lay there
until able to travel on.

st. Paul grain dealer who returned, yester-
day, from River Falls, says that in his opinion
two thirds of the wheat fields of that closely
cultivated and rich farming region of north
western Wisconsin, which Ia known as the Kin
nickinnick Valley, are greatly damaged by
rust. He found the owners of these fields,
however, confident that they would yield an
average crop.
Mr.. B. S. Russell. of Spiritwood, near James.
town, on the Northern Pacific railroad, has
sent to the com pany's headquarters here sew
eTal samples of his wheat, part raised on sod
broken last season, but not crose-pIowed, and
part on ground WHICH was in wheat last year.
The comparison is of course in favor of that
raised on the old ground, but the other looks as
if it onghs to give laree yield.
Mr. Steele estimates the yield of his 500
acres of wheat at the Fourteenth siding, AZ
miles east of Bismarck, at 35 to 40 bushels per
acre, according to weather from now on.

yesterday at the c., st. P. q o. office

Another Boy Goes Down TO HIS Death.
Shortly after o'clock last evening two
young lads, together with humber of
other boys, .disregarding tue repeated warn
ings Of the GLOBE, went in the river at the
foot of Eagle street on the upper levee.
There could be bat ono result The names
of the lads are Matt. FL. Wilbersheid and
Leo Maggie, and neither of them could swim
Getting beyond their depth they both went
down, but Maggie managed to get ashore. A
board was thrown to young Wiibersheid, but
he failed to catch it, and the strong under
current carried him down to watery grave.
He was about II years of age and resided
with his widowed mother at No. 85 Josette
street. Young Wilbersneid had been in the
employ of Msssrs. Meyers & Finch for the
past two years, and they speak of him in
the highest terms IS a faithful, industrious
aud trustworthy young man. lie left their
establishment at 6 O'Clock last evening, went
home and Cos his supper, and in an evil mo-
ment was induced to accompany q number
OF young companions to the river. Shortly
after he went down the steamer Aunt Betsy
arrived at the landing Immediately over the
spot where he Was last seen. Upon hearing
the facts the captain dropped the boat down
the river. AS it was nearly dark when the
young man was drowned it was decided to
make no attempt to recover the body until
this morning.
Again the GLOBE raises its voice of warn
ing to parents ana the authorities against
the dangerous practice of bathing at the up
per leyee. The water is deep and the shores
shelving, which together with the strong IN
der current, is almost certain death to those
who cannot swim, and is even dangerous to
strong swimmers. No one should be allowed
to battle there.
