The MuidoH's Prayer.

3 romantic young man asked his
sweetheart TO take e walk with Aila
by moonlight on the river blur At
East Dubuque, Iowa. She went
gladly. When half way up the oz-
tension they halted 70 admire the pres
p5ct. Suddenly 8 stone slipped be
meath the young mans feet and he
went down like cuEtain-stick. He
caught hold Of some vines which hung
10 the rocks and hung on for dear life,
expecting to fall a hundred feet and to
be dashed to pieces on the rocks be
low. The young woman could not
pull him up, SO she faIl OF hsr knees
and prayed 5or him. The young nan
united with her after this fashion,
"Help! GLurderi Oh, LorGI I know PlI

I've got to let go pretty quick. Give
US some daily bread. Oh, Lord! send
somebody to helpme out OF this scraPe'
Help! Thunder!" At this point he could
hold on no longer, but went down.
But not 100 feet. Only a few feet
for he landed on ledge which neither
he nor she had seen in their excite

tobacco was found to be strongly i'm,
pregnatad with opium, while the
wrapper, which was warranted to be
rice paper, was proved to be the most
ordinary quality Of white paper,
whitened with arsenic, the two poisons
combined being presented in sufficient
quantities to create in the smoker the
habit Of using opium, without being
aware Of it, and which craving can
only be satisfied by an incessant use Of
cigarettes.

A touching incident occurred in
the death of the aged people, Mr..

convenience in attendance during
their illness they were placed in
separate bedrooms. The heads Of
the beds were placed againsta thin
partition which having al open
doorpermitted the two old people
to converse though not able to see
each other. The night before the
husbad died his wife heard him
groaning and was very anxious to
be with him. bat was unable to
arise. Soon she was informed that
he was dying, and in order to be
near him the beds were moved SO
as to bring them parallel with the
partition, the heads opposite the
door. This done the fond wife
/ reached out her hand, grasped her
husband by the hand and held il
during his last moments. Thus

IT has been represented to Secretary Sher-
man that there is danger that the money
market in New York will be stringent, and
he has been urged to buy as many bonds as
possible for the sinking fund, so as to re-
lieve the stringency. Mr.. Sherman has re-
piled in his usual nonchalant way that he
will buy amounts of bonds sggregating
about two millions a week, but will not i'm
pair the reserve now in the treasury. This
reserve now amounts to nearly two hundred
and forty millions of dollars, which is lying
absolutely idle. There is no good reason
why at least half of this amount should not
be released so as to afford accommodation to
the business public, but as Mr.. Sherman is
the dictator in the matter there is no recourse
for the people.

The detection of Lord Derby from the
conservative cause, and his avowal that he
would hereafter act with the liberals, is Gre
sting good deal of excitement in political
circles in England. For many years he has
been prominent figure in the conservative
party, and has frequently been honored with
positions of trust. His disagreement with
Lord Beaoons6eld few years ago, which led
to his retirement from the cabinet pertained
to the foreign policy of the premier, and that
policy has resulted finally in complete sew
erance of all his old political associations. 1t
is quite probable that his course will have
considerable influence in the coming cleo
tions, for he was always popular with q
large proportion of the British people.

81 Short Horse Soon Curriea y

There is, perhaps, no better evidence of the
partisan character of Mr.. Knox's examination
of Ramsey county than the record which he
makes relative to the alleged delinquent per-.
sonal tax of the st. Paul Newspaper Union for
1877. As originally written, he added to the
delinquent memorandum the words, n. P.
Hall, city printer, 1875" Upon the proof sheet
he struck out the words quoted and made it
read, "The Daily GLOBE, city printer, 1873
The GLOBE was not in existence in 1877, and
there is no connection, near or remote, between
the Newspaper Union tax of 1877 and the
GLOBE. Mr.. Knox knew he would be riddled
by the GLOBE for the infamous character of
his report, and he sought, by sneaking inuen-
do, to convey the idea that the GLOBE did not
pay its taxes. He did not dare write himself
down a bold liar by making such an assertion,
but was willing to appear as a liar by implica-
ton.
The publisher of the GLOBE was the propri-
etor of the Newspaper Uuion in 1877. His taxes
were paid that year as they have been every
year since his residence in Minnesota and no
favors asked of officials. The records show the
payment of all his 1877 taxes, other than the
Newspaper Union, and they ought to show that
also. We have the authority of
Mr.. Knox and the county treasurer's newspa-
per organ for the assertion that there are no
delinquencies in Mr.. Rice's office. If that tax
was not paid why did Mr.. Rice not collect it.?
The law not only gives him power but requires
him to do so, and he was derelict in duty if
he allowed such q tax to remain uncollected.
Such examination as we have been able
to make has not brought to light
the receipt, the non-production of which,
we are aware, places the onus upon the taxpay-
er. As a proper penalty for the non preserva-
ton of a tax receipt Mr.. Hall now proposes
that if County Treasurer Rice will make an
affidavit that the Newspaper Union tax for 1877
has not been paid, he will pay it the second
time and trust to the future discovery of the
now missing receipt. While Mr.. Hall does not
hold himself responsible for the correctness of
the county treasurer's books, he is willing to
make them correct, SO far as they refer to him,
if that official will swear they are wrong.
We may add by way of parenthetical conclu-
sion, that the proprietor of the GLOBE is will
ling to have his record as tax payer in Ram
sey sounty for seventeen years scrutinized, fand
made public item by item and date by date.
He has never asked or received an abatement
of tax to the extent of farthing. He claims
no credit for this, as it is the simple duty of
citizen and he does not assume that the pub
lie at large are especially interested in the mat
ter. The effort of malignant partisan to
make little cheap capital by falsehood and
inuendo, is his apology for thus publicly en-
deavoring to make the county records tally
with the facts.

DEMOCRATIC LAUNDERING.

1t will never do for the Republican party to
nominate weak candidate on the I'd of June,
depending on the Democrats to follow their ex-
ample twenty days afterwards. The Democrats
did not nominate a weak man in 1876. On the
contrary, they put up their then strongest man.
and he was hasd to beat. The Democracy are
now within sight of the promised land. They
can see the milk and the honey; and it will not
be their fault if they do not taste of the same
on the 4th of March, 1881. To prevent them is
the business of their opponents. Chicago Iri-
bune.
This sounds very prettily, but the trouble
is that it is not the Republican party but the
Democratic that is in the habit of blunder-
ing at critical junctures. The Republicans
seldom make the mistake of nominating
weak or unpopular candidates, and when
they by some mischance do so the Democrats
respond by putting their worst men in the
field against them. Time and again within
the past dozen years success was within the
reach of the Democracy, but with reckless
ness seemingly born of downright idiocy
they have thrown away their opportunities.
They seem to gain no wisdom by experience,
but year after year repeat the blunders that
have frequently brought disaster upon them
The assumption of the Tribune, however,
that Mr.. Tilden was beaten in 1876 is
slightly out of the way. He was elected in
that year and beaten the following year by
the eight to seven extra constitutional cleo
toral commission. It was accomplished
partly by the laundering of the Democrats,
and partly by the rascality of the Republi-
cans. 1t is not at all probable, however, that
the same methods will be employed again.
The people would not submit to being de-
frauded of their choice of President again
by such barefaoed knavery.
If Republican President is to be in
aqgurated next year, he must be
elected. The chances of such an
event are not very encouraging, for
the people are thoroughly weary of the
many governmental abuses that have for 80
long disgraced the country. They want a
change, and recognize the fact that any
change would be for the better. Matters
certainly could not be in worse condition
than they have been in the past dozen years
or more.
The Democratic party should turn over a
new leaf-quit laundering and enter upon
the canvass with determination to win, and
having won the fight, they should reap the
fruits of their victory by inaugurating their
candidate. They should be on the alert for
frauds, and not suffer themselves to be either
cheated or inundated.

WHEN Col. Uline discovered he had a thief
in his office who bad stolen few hundred
dollars, he Immediately gave notice to the
county attorney. The county attorney, with
out moments delay, presented him to the
grand jury. He was tried and convicted
and was in no manner shielded by any De-
mocratio official. When the Republicans
found they had thief in the State treasury
who had stolen one hundred and eighty thou
sand dollars, they refused to impeach his con.
federatesand successor and excused the whole
robbery. No attempt was ever made to con-
vict the big thief. On the contrary, his
position in the party was strengthened and
increased by the defalcation.

1t is noted fact (the mayor probably not

police of this city is permitting certain of the
billiard hall proprietors situated on the most
public and busy thoroughfares to run their
tables during the Sabbath day, while those
situated in the more retired or suburban To-
calities he compels to suspend playing on
that day. I am anxious to know why this
discrimination should exist between this
class of taxpayers? FAIR PLAY.
