HEALTH.
what Condaces to Health Makes Hap.
piness.

1t hos been apparent that Lewiston,
which before has been characterized
for almost universal health, during the
two years just elapsed has been the
theatre Of much sickness, suffering,
and even death. Much of this sick
ness has been of a malariel type, and
has baiiled the skill of physicians to
assign the cause, and in several cases
to prescribe certain remedy. When
the town was first settled it was
wholly destitute of trees and. shrub
berry and the site contained but very
little decayed vegetable matter. Sand
and gravel we're the principal ingre-
dients of its soil, and these were puri-
fed by annual wash of the rivers aud
the frequent storms of wind that
greeted the place. The rush in build
ing at first induced the use of much
material having rapid tendency to
decay, and shops and houses were
placed upon the ground without under
ventilation, floors were loose through
which years of sweepings and filthy
water have been deposited and there
still remain, which now, in many in
stances, emit odors so strong as to of
fend the senses. Ground timbers have
rotted and are still unremoved. Cow
pens, pig-pens, chickencoops and priv
les have all been constructed and used
in the same lot with the dwelling OF
the family, and ~ells dug near by anc
the water used for cooking and drink
ing purposes, and all upon q soil thai
teaches e erythins through it whei
the rain falls. A large number O
,, fruit and shade trees and gardel
shruohery have, since the building O
; the town, grown to stalwart proper
tions, and in many places so shade tht
= dwellings that the sun seldom shines
upon them, and the purifying wind
never Llow upon them. Gardens are
made rich by manure and irrigated tc
increase the growth of vegetation
Deposits of every variety Of filth ant
rubbish are made in our streets apt
yards, which are constantly impregnat
ing the upper surface of the earth, ant
when exposed to the suns rays ar
emitting vapors that are noxious. Riv
er oyerfows are made each year il
some parts Of the town, and the evap
,, orations that ensue when the waite
recedes from the pools that are lef
and the Shiny surface that has beer
covered are enough to turn person
having the sense of smell about then
away from them. All these and man,
more things that might Ike said ar
/ done and suffered in our little burg O
Lewiston, without any apparent car
for health and happiness, and then W
ask why is it that Lewiston is not q
r healthy as it used to be in forme
days. No wonder our Boston CORE

should seek to remind US Of some {
these evils and suggest remedy. |

DEATH OF JUDGE LORD,

or Consnmpt lnn, az His Home in Msntor-
VILE Thursday Evening Lasr, Aged About
40 Years.
Hon. j. 81. Brown, of Willmar, judge of
the twelfth judicial district, was in st. Paul
yesterday, en- route home from holding a
term of court for Judge Lord, of the fifth
district, and brought news of the death OF
the latter, from consumption, at his resi-
dence in Mantoryille Thursday evening.
Judge Lord WAS one of the early settlers of
Olmsted county and is we'll and favorably
known throughout the State. We copy from
the Minnesota volume of the United States
Biographical Dictionary 1879 the following
sketch of his life and public services.
samuel Lord, Judge of the fifth judicial
district of Minnesota, and son of Enoch
and Eleanor Warren Lord, is a descendant
of an old Connecticut family, now spread
over the New England, Middle and most of
the Western States. He dates his birth at
Meadville, Pa, On the 26sh of July. 1881,
where he remained till OF age, losing his
father, farmer, when he, the SOD, was
fourteen years old. Samuel WAS educated
at the local college, taking special studies,
such ss hs deemed of most importance, and
not graduating teaching school one or
two terms, but never designing to follow
that vocation. He read law at Meadvllle
with Joseph Douglas; cams TO Minnesota
in 1856, aud practicad three years At Marion,
Olmsted county, representing that county III
the Legislature in the session Of
1873. In 1859 Mr.. Lord re-
moved to Mantorviile. Dodge county,
where he was in practice, except when on
the bench, until 1875, when he removed to
Faribault, his present home" returning to
Mantorville two years ego. "He vas a
member OF the State Ssnate, representing
Mower and Dodge counties, in 1865. 1867.
1870 and 1871, being chairman OF the judi
ciary committee during three OF these sas-
sions. His standing in the upper branch of
tbs legislature was highly creditable. Mr..
Lord was elected judge in the autumn OF
1871 for q term of seven years, aud re-elect-
ed ia November 1878. He is learned in the
law and man of liberal culture, is patient
and painstaking in his offici i duties, cool in
his deliberations, strictly impartial. and a
man Of the highest integrity. Such men
honor the ermine. Judge Lord has always
affiliated with the Republican party, to which
be owes the repeated honors conferred upon
him. In June, 1866, Miss Louisa Compton,
OF Erie county, Pa, was united in marriage
with Judge Lord, and they have five chill

THAT MOULTON LETTER.

Conkltna Does Not Knoto Motltoa.
A Washington dispatch says, Senator
Conkling, in reply to the inquiry whether
the Sherman Moulton letter represented his
sentiments, said to- day: 81 do not know Mr.
Moulton, and have had no conversation with
him or Mr.. Sherman. There is no one in
New York authorized to speak for me. a
great deal of canarding is being done just
now to injure Gen. Grant, but do not think
it will succeed. If they can make people
belisve that am not for Gen. Grant and for
any one else, they may succeed In making it
appear that nobody is for him."
MouLroN DOES NOT REMEMBER TILE LETTER
A Cincinnati dispatch says: Dol. G. W.
Moulton, when shown the letter to Secretary
Sherman, printed in the New York Times
of Friday, said: 81 do not remember
having written that note, though
presume 1 did. I have had no CONVEX
sation with Secretary Sherman relative to
it. How the New York Times managed to
get hold of it is beyond my ken. l con-
slider the publication piece OF contemplate
work, as the note was entirely private.
COL Moulton then went on to say that he had
had talks with various wel-informed people
of New York, Democrats as we'll as Repub-
licans, and had come to the conclusion that
MIR. Conkling had no disposition to sulk III
his tent as it had been alleged he would III
the event of Grant failing to receive the
nomination. Some had gone SO far as to
say that Mr.. Ccnklng would throw bis in
fluenos for the Democratic nominee in case
Mr.. Seymour should be nominated by the
Democrats and the Republicans should fail
to nominate Grant. Il had maintained all
the time" said Col. Muulton, "that had no
doubt of Conkling's loyalty to the Republi-
can party in any emergency; but doubts were
30 freely expressed that took occasion to
talk with people about it., and finally pre-
sumed to write that note to Sherman. I had
no information that Sherman ever received
it, and never had any conversation with
him about it, or the subject of 1t. I GER
tainly never received any answer TO it. As
to slow and delicate negotiations that, L
presume, referred to the efforts of the Dem
ocrats to get an assurance OF Conkling's
support of Seymour in New York in the
event of his nomination and a failure to
nominate Grant. My conference was with

PREDICTION ABOUT TO BE VERI-
FLED


DOWN WITH wAsHBuRN AND CORRUPTION.
While it is possible that Mr.. Donnelly
may yet be elected, the strong probabilities
are that Mr.. Washburn will obtain the Ger
tificste of election. If that should prove
to be the case the GLOBE desires to announce
that the campaign has only just begun. A
more shameless campaign was never con-
dueted than that which Mr.. Washburn
would doubtless be glad TO consider ended.
1t has been game of fraud and corruption
from the start, and we can inform Mr..
Washbnrn now, that he will not retain
his seat in Congress. Four years ago q
Minneapolis man bought the nomination
and defeated Gen. Averill, who wss the real
choice of his party. That member of Con-
gress passed, comparatively, but very few
days in his seat. The people of Mime
apolis found they had drawn On elephant
instead of prize, and both the Congress
man and the people were glad when the
term of Office expired.
History seems about to repeat itself, with
this advantage, that Bill Washburn will have
Democratic House to deal with instead Of
Republican organization. That will make
subcommittee to proceed to investigate,
and We can secure the attendance of such q
committee in Minnesota. We propose to do
so st once, and Bill Washburn can calculate
that the worst of his CAMPAIGN is yet to
come. he committed acts which will dis
qualify him from serving as member of
Congress.
The GLoBE desires to 60 on record as an
nouncing that Mr.. Washburn aciN not retain
has seat as member Of Congress from the
Third Minnesota District.
