DEATH OFHORACE THOMPSON.

A telegram to the GLOBE from New York,
elsewhere published, contains the sad intel
ligence of the death of Horace Thompson,
which occurred at half past ~ O'Clock this
morning. The news is SO sudden and
st .rtling that it is difficult to fully realize
that the leading fnancier of the city and
State has finished his life work. Though
occupying the position of a private
citizen, he was in reality public man.
Though he never held public or political
Office he was prominent and moving spirit
in political and public affairs, and his influ-
ence was felt far beyond the local sphere in
which he moved. He had built up the
largest financial institution west of Chicago,
and, with the possible exception of Mr..
Drake, was the chief promoter of the st.
Paul & Sioux City railroad enterprise,
which, though it has already accomplished
much in developing the country, is still
in its infancy when, Mr.. Thompson's future
plans are considered. 1t was this work which
caused his visit to New York, and he falls by
the wayside with his intended labors but
partially finished, leaving his incomplete
work 10 be taken up and carried forward by
those who survive him as best they can.
His death is more than local, it is State
calamity. His name had grown to be a tower
of strength, and any enterprise with which he
allied himself prospered. He was
active in the church, and in
puolic charities, as well as in
business circles and every branch of society
will experience personal loss by his sudden
death. He was man who never shIrked an
obligation or resorted to legal bubbles to
escape responsibilities which he had assumed,
and the remarkable success of his business
career can be largely attribu-
ted to lis scrupulous integrity
When the great State treasury de-
falcation occurred he called the bondsmen
together and though they had the loss of
$4,000 staring them in the face, Mr..
Thompson took the initiative and declared
that having given their bond it must be
made good. His financial position was such
the money to the State at once, and the
credit of the bond was maintained to the
letter. This is but an incident of the man.
In private as we'll as public life Mr..
Thompson was very retiring and his social
circle was quite small, being almost entirely
confined to the Baptist church, of which he
WAS an active member. His loss will be
felt, however, in all departments of life.
The church, society, the city, the State, have
AL experienced shock from which they will
not readily recover, and it will be no easy
matter to fill the place so ably and honor
ably occupied by The late HORACE THoMp-

IT transpires that Hon. Alex. Mitchell, a
banker of long experience and established
reputation, is the author of the bill intro
duced in the Wisconsin legislature making
stockholders in all banks liable for double
the amount of their stock. 1t is wise
measure; that ought to be in force in every
State in the Union, and We are glad to re-
cord the fact that G banker has been the first
to suggest its enactment in our sister State.
Mr.. Mitchell's standing precludes the posi-
bility of his being charged with other than
the best of motives.

FRISKY PHYSICIANS,
A Quiet Bapqset by the Faculty of the St
Paul Medical College.

Paul Medical College.
The faculty of the st. Paul medical COL
lege held quiet jollifcation party at the
Windsor hotel last evening, at which the
mask of professional gravity was dotted to
the less serious amenaties of good fellowship
and social intercourse. A dozen gentlemen
were present whose names are as familiar to
st. Paul households as being the synonyms
of all that is valued in the multiform duties
of their most exacting profession.
1t was conclave of medicine men whose
aggregate ability would challenge compsri-
son with any other faculty in the country.
For the time being, all thought of the fever
ed brow and throbbing pulse of the sick
room vanished, and the hour was given over
to relaxation and unmixed festivity.
Supper was called at 10 O'Clock. and meta
phorically, ''fandsngo twirled her jocund
castanet' to as jolly party as ever drank a
toast or disintegrated a capon. The hour
was enjoyed by the Interchange of every spe-
cies of pleasantly. and the party dispersed
at midnight, after royal time and a jolly
reunion.

PERMANENT APPROPRIATIONS.

The House has undertaken to effect one
reform which ought to meet with no oppo-
sition from any source, especially as the evil
it involves has been freely acknowledged on
all sides of the party fence. It is the matter
of what are called permanent appropriations.
From time immemoriai it has been the Gus
tom of the government TO draw from the
national treasury certain sums, always in
definite as to character and amount. The
result has been that many corrUptions have
crept in, and we find that these permanent
appropriations are in danger Of exceeding
those included in the regular bills passed at
each session. To abolish this abuse Con-
gress has made 4 very sensible move,
which has taken shape in the
Introduction of bill W hich pro
poses to repea, all other laws heretofore
made for the appropriations of moneys for
permanent specific, permanent indefinite,
and permanent annual objects, except so far
as they provide appropriations for the sink
ing furd. for payment of interest premium
or principal of the public debt, or of bonds
issued to the Pacific railroad companies.
Secretary Sherman has made known his dis
satisfaction with the bill in the present
shape, but he indicates that, with several ad-
ditional exceptions to those named in the
bill, he would have no objections to its pas
sage but Democrats on the committee and
the secretary do not see it in the same light.
Mr.. Sherman's opposition. however, will
not be apt to interfere with the passage Of
the bill, which is pronounced to be as nearly
perfect in its details as it could be made
One thing is certain: There has been great
amount of competition in this direction in
the past, and it is time that it was sup
pressed in some manner. While We know
but little of the merits of the present bill, we
do know that it will in measure prevent
the waste of considerable amount of
money. If not perfect, it is aimed at an
abuse. and even if it succeeds in only par
TALLY remedying it, there are good reasons
for its passage. The Democratic party has
started out in the direction of reform, and
will not stay its course until our system is
returned to its former purity.

ifesting too mu:h zeal to secure the patron :
age of a passenger. He was told to desist,

Officer Calvin caught hold of the obstre-

the latter struck him a stunning blow in the
face. Flanagan was taken to the lookup
and the case came before Judge Flint yester-
day morning.
Officer Calvin appeared in court with his
face badly battered. He It'd an apparently

nence and subsequent resistance, and the
court made an example of the case by ining
the defendant SIS and costs, on payment of
which he was discharged.
