4 FINE PROPERTY SPLENDIDLI
MANAGED.

The synopsis Of the work of the st. Paul
& Manitoba read for ten months, which is
given in this issue of the GLOBE, supplies q
most gratifying exhibit, both to the stock
holders and the public. The road has been
splendidly handled and the work performed
and progress made is almost incredible.
Over one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars per month as the net earnings of the
road is tribute to the growth of Minnesota.
The programme of expenditure demon
strates that the earnings are placed where
they will do the most good. Not only the
entire net earnings but also additional CAPT
tai is used to develop and further equip the
road. In this manner an immense work is
being done for the State. It is emphaticalIy
Minnesota institution, and one of which
every resident of the State may we'll be
proud. It's progress marks, in practical
way, the progress of the State, and is an in
dex which shows the confidence which CAPT.
tai has in the future of Minnesota.

Alag With Mourning Co1ors

In rearranging the trophies and mementoet
of the adiutant generals Office. Major Van
Oleve has brought to the front the State flag
carried by the third regiment of Minnesota
volunteer infantry, and this makes prominent
q strange reminder of the surrender at Muir
freesboro. The flag is in mourning. border
of Grape has been sewed in between the yellow
fringing and the blue ground of the flag and
the staff is draped with two mourning knots
In this way the men of the regiment expressed
their feelings regarding the surrender of the
regiment at Murfreesboro in July, 1862, which
was resisted by few of the officers and was
condemned by nearly all the men in the ranks
as not justified by the situation of the regi.
ment at the time. 1t was sad affair for the
men who were proud of their regiment and
State and felt that both were discredited by the
surrender; but, SO far as it had opportunity

might be forgotten were it not for the remind

MR. HAYES POLICY.

The Republicans of West Virginia and
two or three other States have heartily ap-
proved of the administration of Rutherford
B. Hayes. The GLOBE has no fault to find
with any body of men that feels inclined to
approve of the course of man who has
been the most abject failure as an executive
officer ever known in the history of the
country.
The approval of Mr.. Hayes administra-
ton involves an approval of tie manner in
which he procured the Office he now holds.
The means were intimidation at the polls,
bribery of election officers, perjury and sub
ornation of perjury, and frauds of the most
gigantic proportions, through which the
electoral votes of two States were diverted
from the channel in which the voters in
tended them to go. 1t involves an ap-
proval of the manner in which
Mr.. Hayes has rewarded all the
rascals who helped him to usurp the powers
of the government by giving them the chief
offices in his gift. 1t involves an approval
of his policy in vetoing the bills that were
designed to relieve the voters from military
surveillance at the polls. If the Republican
party can afford to approve of such record,
there is no reason why the Democracy should
complain.
The question will suggest itself, however:
if the Republicans are so we'll pleased with
Hawai- o5roiDio{ ro Lio,, IF oHoi.e .rbr o~o
they locking elsewhere for candidate for
the Presidency? There is no reason to sup
pose that Mr.. Hayes would act differently
during the next four years than he has in the
past. He would be as loyal to the party in
the future as he has been in the past, and
would do the bidding of the stalwart ele.
ment of the party with just as much alacrity.
Why, then, should they desire Grant, OF
Blaine, Or Sherman, or Washburne TO,
President ? The man they have is as plant
as either of these could be, if not more so.
Why not, therefore, give him second term
in the White House?
Mr.. Hayes has done much to entitIe him
to the gratitude of the Republican party
Bad as the party is, few men could have been
found within its ranks who would have been
willing to accept the Office under the Cir
cumstances. They would have considered
the act as dishonorable, and scorned the
Office and all its emoluments. He has done
the bidding of the party with the utmost
subserviency and has repeatedly disgraced
himself and the Office he holds that he might
the better serve his party. What more
could the Republicans ask of President
Mr.. Hayes is the fttest man to represent
the ideas of the party. He scruples at
nothing that will contribute to the adyan-
tage of his associates. There is no good
reason why he should not be re-noninated
and receive the suffrages Of the party which
he so faithfully represents.

celery without salt. 1t is harmless species
of bombast.
The resolution protesting against the
presence of troops at the polls echoes the
sentiments of all advocates and defenders
of free suffrage in the country. 1t will con-
tribute to the universal sentiment on that
subject, and have its influence both OH the
public mind and upon the persons who now
hold control of our affairs. The denuncia-
ton of the fraudulent President is also
proper and timely.
1t is difficult to understand how men of
such pronounced ability as those who COM
posed the Wisconsin convention could have
so far forgotten the traditions of the party
to which they adhere as to abandon the
prime idea of the party by surrendering to
the Republican heresy of nationalism and
Capitalization. Though they protested
against Capitalization, they abandoned the
only position that can be maintained by its
opponents-the theory of the well-defned
rights of the States. This bulwark once
forsaken there would be nothing to prevent
the full contamination of the schemes of the
monarchists, and the complete overthrow OF
a republican form of government.

The Window boom is big thing. The
Minnesota Republicans arc in a dilemma.
They are afraid to go back on their favorite
son and if they do not endorse him they
know that his chances are hopeless. They
do not feel by any means certain that their
endorsement will save him, but as lightning
sometimes does very foolish and inexplicable
things they want to have a rod up to catch
the current if it comes this way. Hence
whether to serve Blaine, who is their first
love, or Window, who is shadowy hope, 10
an undecided problem, with the chances in
favor of the favorite son.

Probablu @ False R,t,,or.

An Eastern exchange says: ut is rumored
that Mr.. Robert Harris will soon resign his pc.
sition as general manager of the Erie railroad
in order to devote his full attention to the
Northern Pacific, of which company he is the
vice president. 1t is stated that Mr.. @. W.
Smith was appointed traffic manager of the
Erie in anticipation of Mr.. Harris early resig-
nation. The Office of general manager of the
Erie, it is claimed, is to be abolished" Mr..
Harris is one of the highly rated railroad men
of the country. His present income is prob.
ably (say $25, 900 from the Erie, $4,000 from
the Elevated railroad company, of which he Ia
president, and $4,000 from the Northern Pa
cifc) about $4,000 year. 1t is rot presum-
able that he would resign all this to
devote himself to service for which
he could not expect me-, than
$1,000 a year. Nor is it presumablc hat he is
to be crowded out of the Erie, since Mr.. Smith,
whose promotion is connected with the rumor,

Shields and SEIZURE.
Translated from the Minnesota Democrat

Translated from the Minnesota Democrat
Germany
Representative Clark, of Missouri, intro
duced bill, asking donation of twelve I'M
serviceable pieces of ordinance for the purpose
of erecting monument in honor of General
Shields. Why such an honor should be be-
slowed to this general, we are not able to I'M
derstand, unless we had come so far as to build
monument to the most persistent Office seek-
er. As a characteristic sign of our present
time such demonstration would certainly not
be out of place."
This is what the Westliche Post (orgau of
Schurz) says. The corrupt organ of the most
rotten Republicanism seems to have forgotten
that General Shields was not only United
States Senator from three States, but also one
of the bravest soldiers of the American army;
that he has participated in the Mexican war,
the war in Florida, the great war for the Union,
several Indian wars, and that his body was
riddled with balls like a target, bearing wit
ness to the most noble deeds of
bravery and honor, and performed on the
bloody fields of battle and in the name of the
great republic. The WcStliche Post, in trying
to drag into the mire the unsullied name cf a
dead hero, forgets that it's patron his excel.

necessary for the organ of Mr.. Schurz to dem

that, like himself. the writer was bare of that
nobleness of heart which distin-
guishes the true gentleman from the COM
mon loafer. When, in times to come,
the grass will have grown over the graves of
the patrons and hirelings of the Republican
party, them of course, the memory of the

IT is refreshing to see the Blaine conven-
tions throughout the country deprecating al
sectional animosities and pleading for re-
turn of fraternity between the two parts of
the country once divided by war. Mr..
Blaine, the apostle of hate, who has done
more than any other man in the country to
keep alive the hatreds engendered by the
war, will find his chief claim to consideration
as stalwart taken from him if he attempts
to run on such platform.

THE WISCONSIN DEMOoRAoY.

The resolutions of the Wisconsin Demo
cratic convention are somewhat singular in a
few respects, and need explanation, which
will probably be forthcoming in due time.
Yet there seem to be principles enunciated-
if we may trust the Geographic summary
that are essentially undemocratic. The
second resolution is paradoxical, to say the
least. 1t declares that the United States are
a nation-a manifest contradiction of terms.
If the States are nation it is patent that
not compose nation, but confederation
and such league is the United States.
While this confederation for purposes of
foreign intercourse assumes national char
acter, it does 80 only by the consent of the
States that compose the federal union. All
it's powers are derived from the States, and
it can exercise no legal authority that does
not proceed from the consent of the States.
The third resolution accords to the State
certain underlined powers. What is the use
of according to these organizations powers
which they already possess under the consti-
tuition? Is it becoming to accord to human
being the privilege of breathing? The States
exist, and they have powers that are very
clearly defined. They have reserved to them
selves the privilege of sovereignty in all
matters that have not been voluntarily sur
rendered by them to the general government.
To the GLOBE this utterance looks very
much like aggravated sarcasm. 1t is pitt
full surrender of the essential principle fst
which the Democratic party has battled so
bravely and 80 long. The subsequent declar-
alton that ''the nation" has proper supervi-
sion over all interstate and international af-
fairs, thus securing union without despot-
ism, and liberty without secession, is well
enough in its way, but accompanied by the
previous sentiment it attains meaning that
i, utterly at variance with true Democratic
principles. 1t makes the surrender to the
national idea only the more abiect.
With the remainder Of the platform no
fault can be found. 1t was hardly necessary
to denounce the heresy of the late war or to
declare the national debt binding upon the
whole people, but these will answer very well
for buncombe. A political platform without
q little buncombe would be like stick of
