THE WISCONSIN, oENrRAL.

The train which leaves the st. Paul depot
at 6:15 this morning for Milwaukee Ola the
Wisconsin Central road opens new and i'm
portant territory 10 this city. 1t has the sd-
vantage over much of the railroad building in
this section in that it traverses region al
ready well populated and brings trade to
our doors which is already of immense pro-
portions. We do not have to wait for i'm
migration to fill up the country and maks
business, but the Wisconsin Central brings
to our doors all This as completed fact.
large portion of the route traversed has
been sealed book to st. Paul, but hence
forth it is an open volume.
Not the least of the advantages is the fact
that it enables the GLOBE to reach vast
field twenty-four hours in advance of Chica-
go papers. The GLOBE goes out on the first
train this morning, and extends a hearty
greeting to the Badgers who are so fortunate
as to be brought in contact with this great
business center. Our citizens generally hail
the new line with pleasure and extend con-
gratulations to the company and the public
upon the completion of such an important
enterprise.

The proposal to pension the ex-Presidents
of the United States is being actively dis
cussed by the newspapers of the country.
Most of them refer to the reduced circum-
stances of Gen. Grant as an argument in ia
vor of the plan. The GLOBE does not re-
gard this fact if it is fact-as any argu
ment at an. During Grants incumbency
of the office of President he drew from the
treasury the sum of three hundred thousand
dollars as salary, and received almost as
much more in the form of gifts and perqui-
sites. If he is poor oday-his poverty is
the result of his own improvidence. The
government cannot afford to pension every
person who has squandered his substance.
Besides, the people have discharged their
obligations to Gen. Grant fully. He was
honored by the highest military rank ever
conferred upon an American soldier, and
was twice elevated to the chief magistraoy.
1t is estimated by those in a position to
know that he is worth more than one hun
dred thousand dollars, sum sufficient to
maintain him in affiuence for the remainder
of his days. As for Mr.. Hayes, he has
saved three-fourths of his salary as Presi-
dent, and has large private fortune be-
sides. He does not need a pension, for
there is no possibility of his ever coming to
want. The proposition is one that will
commend itself to the people, who have bur-
dens enough to bear as it is.

IKE ASYLUM DISASTER.

Not So Lovely Management as is Pictured
Patients Locked IN and Left to Their
Fote-SOnaething Needing Incestiqation
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PETER, Nov. According to all &C.
counts given in the daily papers. especially in
the Pioneer Press, regarding the terrible calam
ity which transpired here at the hospital fol
insane on the evening of the 18th inst, il
would seem as though there was but one side
to the tragical event.
The officers in charge, and even Mrs. DR..
Bartlett, are held up as though they perfermeG
wonders and miracles, whilst a large number
of our citizens are of an entirely different Opin
ion. A number of persons are willing to tel
what they have actually seen during the con
1agration. 1t is claimed that at different times
parties were informed that thedoors to the
halls where the patients were could not be oil
would not be opened just then.
While the northern wing was destroyed by
the flames. the inmates of the southern wins
(alI of whom are females) were marched out
and cared for.
Parties that had come to the rescue of the
unfortunate intellectual dead wanted to know
if all the female patients had been removed
were answered by one of the first officials thai
all were taken out and well provided for.
Not satisfied with this answer, the rescuine
parties proceeded to 60 through the halls and
convince themselves, whereupOn-oh, horror
they heard some noise in one of the rooms and
finding the door locked, they broke out ths
panels of the door and saw that there were
three female patients within. DR.. James die
| not think it necessary to go to work and dam
age things in such manner.
The Pioneer Press also states that so ,00t
worth of goods had been stolen, much to the
disgrace of the people of this place. especially
when they voluntarily came to the rescue Of
the poor, unfortunate inmates of the asylum
Whosoever circulated that story must have
without any doubt, some other object in view,
for it does not seem possible that the valuable
! of the institution were thrown out broadcast
| For the benefit of us all an investigation
| and thorough one, should be instituted a,
once. The truth must and shall prevail

HE proposition to make life Senators of
our ex-Presidents is not new one. 1t has
been suggested before, but has met with
little favor. 1t may be urged with renewed
force, however, now that the Republicans
have regained control of the House. 1t is a
step in the direction of Imperialism. and as
such will receive the support of those in IA
vor of strong government. While we are
not likely to have large number of ex-
Presidents at time, the principle is PERM
cious, and should be frowned upon by all
advocates of q republican form of govern
ment.

A Legal Question.

To the Editor of the GLOBE.
I desire to address to the lawyers of Min
nesota simple legal question involving
great interests and in which the profession
is greatly interested. The question is, has
the legislature absolute and unrestricted
power over the subject of descent? If the
legislature has that power, can parties so
contract as to abridge it? Can the parties
SO contract as to defeat not only the opera
ton of existing laws, but all future legisla-
ton. I will illustrate. Suppose man and
woman execute an ante-nuptial contract by
which the woman releases her dover and all
interest in her future husbands
estate, and suppose the legislature
should, after their marriage, and during
the life of the husband, pass law to this eff
fect-that Ia case person dies intestate
without children, and leaving no father or
mother, and a widow surviving, the widow
shall inherit the whole estate, in that case
would the ante nuptial agreement exclude
the widow from the Inheritance? If it
would not exclude the widow from the whole
inheritance, would it exclude her from a
part, provided the legislature had given her
one-third absolutely instead of the whole.
I am supposing case where at the time
of the alleged contract, widows interest
in the husbands estate was limited to dow
er and was afterwards enlarged by the legis-
iature into fee. AS there is no particular
reason why one man, although on the bench,
should know more than all the lawyers Of
Minnesota, and as it is the design of the
writer to enlarge on this subject in publ
cation some day to be made, any answers to
the above if addressed to postofice box
1885. st. Paul, Mimi, will be thankfully
received. LAWYER.

If Secretary Sherman does his duty all of
the loan of 1881 will be paid off by the LIST
of January next, on which day it natures,
and both the principal and interest on the
debt perceptibly reduced. He is now paying
o premium of two and three-quarters cents,
plus interest, upon the bonds, which looks
like an unwarrantable waste of money. All
that the bonds call for is their face value,
and the holders will be compelled to accept
that or nothing six weeks hence. 1t would
be profitable to compel them to wait.

Lumber keeps up remarkably for this season
Of the year. and even shows sitter tendency
among wholesalers. Stocks of dry lumber are
very much broken and prices firm. Buyers in
the country find considerable difficulty
complete. Cara are more plenty
than they were week ago. Flooring. siding
and all the higher grades of lumber are very
scarce, manufacturers hold their heads high,
and are unwilling to make any concessions
from present price lists. The publication in
the GLOBE of the Chicago ratings and grading
has been of great advantage outside the city, to
those interested in the lumber trade, as shown
by letters received by wholesale dealers here
from mill men everywhere.
Below we give the weights of dry lumber as
recently fixed by the trade in Chicago:

IT'S A SQUARE DEAL.
That There Is at the Bottom of the Ramon
about q Corner In Wheat.
TGhiraoo Times


TChicago Times.
All sorts of reports have been fyine
around the ''street'' for the past two OF
three days with regard to CORNERS in wheat
and the names of dozen large operators
were mixed up with the supposed deal. II
is variously stated that Jim Keene was "un-
der it;' that Phil Armour had shifted from
pork to wheat; that Keene and Armour were
working together, and that John B. Lyon
and Nathan and Henry Cor
with were representing clique formed to
boost up prices to a speculative eleva ton.
These reports prove to be unfounded, and
according to the best information to be had
there is no likelihood that the grain market
will be cornered In the immediate future.
Keene tried it once, just about year ago,
and dropped 100000 in the experiment.,
and others have been equally unsuccessful in
the same endeavor, so that it has come to be
pretty we'll understood thing in speculative
circles that wheat is too big a
thing to get under handily and ma
nipulate at pleasure, and dealers are
disposed to confne their operations within
the limit of the legitimate demands. There
is unquestionably very powerful 'long''
interest actively at work, however, and enor-
nous purchases have been made on 'Chango
during the past week. It is not at all i'm
probable the gentleman named, or some of
them, are numbered among the ''bulls," but
that there is concert of action on their part
to get hold of ali the wheat and carry
through purely speculative deal is not re-
garded at all probable by experienced
traders.
Wall street money has been pouring into
Chicago in great amounts, lately, but for that
matter so has money from all parts of the
country, from Maine to California and from
Duluth to San Antonio, so there is no spe-
cial significance attained to that fact.
A reporter for the Times encountered Mr.
John B. Lyon on last evening and asked him
what there was in the report that he was en-
cheering ''corner"in wheat in conjunction
with Corwith, Keene, Armour, or anybody
else. "You may say for me that it is all a
Cd id lie out of whole cloth. I haven't
bushel of December or January wheat, and
all the spot wheat have has been sold for
December. do not believe Phil. Arm our
has dollar in wheat, If he has I haven't
heard of it. There is not the slightest foun-
dalton for any such absurd rumors and-and
if there was shouldn't tell you.''

The Democratic editors of Northern
Indiana have substantially adopted the plat

THE Ohio Republican newspapers are
speaking of the duty of the people to pro-
vide John Sherman with an Office, He has
held Office for nearly thirty years, and made
a fortune out of the business, and it would
appear as if by this time he owed some
thing to the people instead of the people be-
ing indebted to him.

ALTHOUGH but little has been said of late
years about the patrons of husbandry, that
organization seems to be steadily increasing
in numbers and strength. The organization
is capable of accomplishing great good if
managed properly, and since it has quit the
political field for more legitimate one it ap.
pears to be increasing in usefulness as we'll
as in numbers. 1t may yet prove to be q
power in our industrial system.
