Ono hundred or more democrats, in
the House on Monday, voted to sus-
pand the rules and piss d bill to abol-
ish the duty on salt. The motion to
suspend theTrufes was defeated by re
publican votes. The Injuries of the
people should be taxed, whenever there
is n necessity for taxation, and the
luxhries, IL taxed, would provide all
tile revenuen Tho government needs.
But Why should salt, or matches, or
any like article of general and neces.
sary consumption, pay to the customs
or Internal Revenue branches Of the
Government any money whatever
Poor people useas many matches, and
aud as mnch salt as rich people, and a
system Of taxation which makes Smith,
n poor man, lpay as much as Jones, a
rich man, is. updemocrutie. uprepubli-
can and wrong. ! hope Mr.. Harris,
who attempted yesterday to abolish the
duty on salt, will pcrscvere in his of.
forts, will make tho same attempt con-
corning other articles, and also that he
will have the. assistance Of all who be-
lieve that under our present system Of
taxation, poverty pays too much, and
wealth too little. There is no hope Of
a general revision Of the tariff during
this session.
Mr.. Wilson, West Virginia, report.
cd in the House yesterday the bill to
provide for the election of public
printer. This bill puts under the i'm
mediate control of Congress the whole
of the public printing. It is impossi
BILE to Say whether the result would be
o saving to the Government or not, but
from the fact that ben" Wilson
champions the measure it is safe to say
it will pass the House. ,..Ii.,.
There is no parallel in all our his.
tory Of the Maine situation. 1t is to
be hoped there will never be. The
plain truth is-and it may as we'll be
stated plainly-that those who have
organized an alleged Legislature since
the regular Legislature met on the
ith are rebels. They have not yet
proceeded TO overt acts, and they may
not do SO. If they had desired an
opiuion Of the Supreme Court which
would at once have carried conviction
to the minds Of nearly every one in
the State, and which. at any rate,
would have been considered binding
by every Democrat now in authority
there, they would have made Issue up.
On some act of the late President of
The Senate, now acting Governor.
This evidently, was not desired, but
e.
.athAr another chance to make capital
md create sympathy by securing an
,ther stump speech from individual
Jndges. There is but one course for
he legitimate Legislature of Maine
o pursue, and that is to maintain its
organization until. in a case duly
brought before the Court, the whole
question of its legality shall be passed
,pon. Then, if the decision shall be
gainst it-tbough how it can be puz.
les the understandings can retire
With honor. Uu,il then surrender is
Iishonora5le. In the low not i'm.
event, of violent resistance
o the authority of the acting Cover
or, lie will OF course enforce his au-
hority BY all available power. The
ituatiOn is extremely critical.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE MURRAY BENEFIT.

The long talked-of benefit rendered Man
ager John Murray, of the Metropolitan
Theatre, by the citizens of Minneapolis, oc-
Cured last evening, and was grand success
in every feature. Of all the ovations that
have from time to time been bestowed upon
the various members of this company, none
have proven such complete and satisfactory
entertainments as that of last evening. The
affair was made the more noteworthy and
enjoyable from the fact that it was instigated
and carried through by the business men of
the city, in recognition of the work Mr..
Murray has done in supplying the amuse-
ment patrons with first-class entertainments.
The house was filled with one of the largest
and most fashionable audiences ever seen in
the structure, and the receipts were so large
as to give the worthy beneficiary very sub
stantial token of appreciation of his
services. The play CHOSEN for the
occasion was Boucicault's "Willow Copse,"
in which Mr.. Murray appeared as
Luke Fielding, and finished piece of act
ing was witnessed. Mr.. Murray was warm
ly received and his acting in this play will
long be remembered by those fort unstely
present on that occasion.
ANOTHER AND LAST PERFORMANCE.
At the earnest solicitation of many citi-
zens, and to satisfy general desire of the
people to see the Metropolitan company
again, Manager Murray will keep open
house to-day, to be positively the last at this
house. At the afternoon matinee the drama
"The Willow Copse," played at the benefit
last night, will be reproduced. In the even
ing grand double bill will be played. The
pieces are the great temperance drama ''Ten
Nights in Bar room" and the farce "My
Turn Next" AS this will be the last per-
formance of this company here, good houses
are anticipated.

A Good Example for st. Paul.

Col. Taylor, State librarian, is in receipt
of a bound volume of the proceedings
connected with the dedication of a
soldiers monument at Manchester, N. H.,
erected at the expense of the city, the sum
of $4,000 being appropriated from the city
treasury for the purpose. The monum ent
consists of central marble shaft fifty feet
high, supported by circular pedestal four
feet i'll diameter, and crowned with capital
richly carved with appropriate Gothic orna-
mentation, upon which is a colossal statue
III granite eight feet in height, representing
Victory, with her usual crown, shield lying
at her feet, and holding wreath, and re-
cumhent sword. Around the central shaft,
upon pedestal, are four bronze figures,
representing an artilleryman, cavalryman,
infantryman, and seaman. The work in de-
sign and sentiment is credit to the city of
Manchester, AMI could be well followed by
other cities of the Union, especially by st.
Paul, which could not do handsomer deed
than to secure such work to testify to the
glory of its soldiers in the late war, to be
donated to the State for erection in the
Capitol square.

Benjamin Gould, while at work in his
field, was found lying on his face dead, one

that he felt dizziness coming on, had
stopped his team, and had started for the
house when he was stricken with apoplexy.

mated that if nominated he would not sup
port the general, but would oppose his
election with all his might. Perhaps the
Chicago convention will take cognizanoe of
these utterances, and inquire whether it is
proper for person to hold seat in that
body who openly declares that he will not
abideby its decision in a certain contingency.
A due regard to propriety should induce Mr..
Hubbard to decline a seat in convention
whose action he is almost certain to bolt.
The adjournment of the convention to
New York at time subsequent to the Chi
cago convention, for the purpose of confer
ring as to the best course to pursue, is not
particularly significant. 1t does not in
dictate settled purpose to bolt the
nomination of Grant, but may more
properly be regarded as a loophole of escape
"a means by which the persons engaged in
the present movement can gracefully back
down, and return to the partisan fold with
out compromising their political dignity if
they have any. It is not threat, though it
was designed as such. 1t may brighten a
few timid souls, but to those who can see
beneath the surface it will be regarded as
more amusing than menacing
1t does not seem at all probable that the
convention will have its intended effect of
intimidating the delegates at Chicago. Every
man of sense knows that the protestants
have not the courage to carry out the threats
they now make so glibly. Nine out of ten
of them will wheel directly into line within
two weeks after Grants nomination. Greed
for Office will overcome many scruples of
conscience. The boilers know they could
hope for nothing from the Democratic
party, and will therefore put their shoulders
to the Grant wheel in the hope that their
temporary detection will be forgiven in view
of their enthusiastic service in behalf of the
cause.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The call for meeting of those interested
in the formation of Board of Trade, with
daily meetings, is one which should meet
with cordial response. The meeting is to
be held at the Merchants at o'clock this
evening, and commission men, merchants,
bankers, grain dealers, etc., will find it to
their interest to be present and aid in max
ing live organization. The business of St.
Paul IS badly crippled for want of such a
market as Board of Trade affords. We
have the banking and elevator capacity to
handle grain and Board of Trade will ena-
BILE this city to handle the products of the
State instead of paying tribute to Chicago
and Milwaukee. By all means let the new
board be organized.

pass away, and in such an
event, even the signers of the petition
circulated by the dealer in st. Louis pipe,
would be forced to admit that some one else
could be substituted.
The GLOBE is of opinion that twenty-five
years hence the then residents of st. Paul
will look back at Mr.. Sewall's work and
wonder that he was ever employed, while
they will feel that it would be favor if by the
expenditure of million dollars they could
obliterate his administration and restore the
natural advantages which the city once pos

The only objection urged by MIR. Hayes
in his last veto message against the approval
of the special deficiency bill, including the
rider relative to deputy marshals, was that
he regarded the lacking of legislation on
appropriation bills as exceedingly pernicious.
Now that the provision has been offered as q
separate bill-it will undoubtedly pass both
houses-the public will have an opportunity
to see how sincere Mr.. Hayes is, or whether
his assumed virtue was not simply thin
disguise to hide his partlsanship. The odds
are large that the latter will prove to be the

THE CITY ENGINEER.

The city council will perform wise act
by refusing to confirm the appointment of
J. s. Sewall, as city engineer. The fact that
petition for his appointment, circulated
by a favored dealer in sewer pipe,
was numerously signed, is matter
of no Importance. First, because two
thirds of the signers would have IS readily
signed petition for his removal if it had
been presented to them. Second, because a
much larger number of citizens desire his
removal. Third, because the city council
are better judges of his qualifications than
those who asked his retention.
His efforts to crush out the st. Paul
cement pipe works are enough to condemn
him. He not only discriminates against the
use of the pipe by the city, but we are re-
liably informed that he has now notified con-
tractors that they must not use it in making
sewer connections for private individ-
nails. After joining with General
Bishop and G. D. Gilfllan in written
endorsement of the st. Paul pipe, the very
next contract let he specified should have
vitrifed pipe only. The glazed st. Louis
pipe, furnished by the man he employed to
circulate the petition for his reap
pointment, is VIGOROUSLY breeder of
pestilence and wholly unfit for service. 1t
finds favor with Mr.. Sewall just as
a certain inferior cement does, for reasons
which the public can conjecture.
While supposedly in the employ of the
city, he has been building bridges
at Fort Smelling, st. Cloud, Shakopee
and elsewhere. His street grades are
obstinately forced on the public regardless
of property or public interests. His sewer
system is lamentably defective and woefully
expensive; and so on we might enumerate
reasons why Mr.. Sewall should not be city
engineer.
The GLOBE has no idea what action the
council will take in the matter, neither has
it any interest to subserve other than the
public welfare. Believing the public inter-
est demands change, the GLOBE would be
derelict if it allowed his reinstatement
to pass without protest. There
must certainly be honest competent en-
gineers in existence, and if they are not to
be found in st. Paul, let the city look else
where, and pay salary sufficient to enable
man to be honest. In the natural order
of things Mr.. Sewall must sometime
