The Republican Dilemma.

The DUTY Gruphic Cnd. Rep.) says
'The position Of the Republicans in relation
to Gen. Hancock il peculiarly distressing.
IL there has been one hobby which the Re-
publicans have for these last fifteen or six
teen years ridden to death it has been loyalty
to the nation during its life and death strug-
gle ewith the rebellion and thedebt of gratitude
which the nation owed TO all its faithful de-
Tenders. Its leaders, though willing enough
To forget the soldiers claims when victory
perched upon their banners, never failed to
say good word for the Union soldier in
their platforms. While Republicans were
supporting mere soldiers for office we did not
hear any complaints from their organs in
regard to that fact, though many Democrats
did make ninnies of themselves by crying
out against military nominations, forgetiul
OF the military nominations made by their
own party in the days Of its greatness.
II Republicans can support mere soldiers
for office, why may not Democrats If the
President of the United States was intended
to be n speecli-maker or a judge, there would
he some ground for this outcry against an
excellent soldier but as the President is an
executive officer, and as many of our Presi-
dents have been soldiers, the cry against
Hancock is sensrless and mean. Washing
ton was n soldier, and he made a good Presi-
dent. Monroe was u soldier, and he made a
good President. Jackson was a soldier, aud
he made a good President. Grant was a
soldier, and, like Hancock, without training
in civil life, and Republicans believe that
he made good President.

Who Wr0te Hane0ek's Letter ia sher-

Some time ago the Republican journals
were quite certain that Judge Black did Gen.
Hancock's political writing. The Judge,
they asserted positively, wrote for the Gen
eral those letters and orders to Louisiana and
Texas politicians which are so famous. Han
cock, they were sure, was unable 10 set
down such sentiments. :" A mere soldier,
you know" they said "what does he know
about such questions 20
Well, here is IIancOck's letter of accept
ance-an abler document than Garlield's in
the general opinion; who wrote that And
then comes Hancock's letter to Gen. Sher-
man, written in 1876, from a country town
in Missouri. 1t would be delightful to think
that Judge Black also wrote that; but un-
fortunately the Judge was not there. In
like the Irishman's bird, he could not be in
two places at once. Yet IL is very good

Louisiana order, So lar as We have noticed
the Republican organs accept this letter
meekly as Hancook's own. This is enconr.

also the credit which belongs To him of the
authorship of the Louisiana orders and let

Tng Greenhackers are, to say the least OF
them, an exceedingly hopeful party. Their
candidate for President, Gen. Weaver, took
the stump in Alabama, and for Il time the
people had assurances from the Greenback
standpoint that everything was lovely.
Weaver was making telling speeches, and he
had hopes Of making such inroads that the
Democratic party would be thoroughly fright
ened. The election took place a few days
ago, and resulted in an overwhelming victory
Tor the Democrats. The Greenbackrrs had
scarcely show, even with their candidate
for President TO teach them how 10 vote.

7HE SiLlRY.GRAB LAW AND FL



The Republican party vaunts itself upon
its economy in the public expenditures, etc.
A plain inquiry into these matters will sur
prise at least some of the people Of the coun-
try.
In consequence ot the enormous eXpendi |
lures required 10y the war the country became
burdemcd with an immense public debt and
q grievous system of taxation. These mat
ters demanded at the hands OF faithful repre-
sentatves in the Government a rigid and
effective system of reform and retrenchmcnt
OF the public expenditures. 1t was under
such condition of affairs, on the 81 of March,
1873, with Republican President and a
large Republican majority in both Houses Of
Congress, that the act was passed commonly
known as "tlle salary-grab law" which
General Garfield reported as the chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations, and for
which he voted. BY this measure it was
enacted that the salary of the President
should he increased from S25, 900 to $50, 900
year; the salaries of the Cabinet officers
increased each To Slo, 600 year; that of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to $40, 500
year, and that Of the nine Associate Jus
tices to O,OOO year each the salary of
the Speaker OF the House OF Representatives
To $4,000 a year, and that of each Senator
and member of the House $500 year.
This was done on the Sd day of March, 1873.
when the Fortysecond Congress was just
expiring, the members OF which had already
served their two years on fixed salary of
| $4,000 year. And by making the act re-
| troactive as TO the members of that Congress,
and hy making their salaries $500 for each
of the two years of that Congress just passed,
50, 200 extra were given to each Of the men,
bcrs of that Congress for past services, which
had been already rendered and paid for on
n stated salary OF $4,000 a year. This is
what was termed the salary grab Moth.

1t was not difficult task to ascertain all
that was to be known concerning the little
household, the lives of which had all found
a common winding sheet in the waves OF the
treacherous water. The family consisted of
the husband, Frank Gibson, his wife and two
sons, eight and ten years of age. They
started out in the morning with jocund steps
in anticipation of days recreation and
pleasure.
Frank Gibson, the husband and father OF
the fsted family, was mechanic in the en-
ploy of the st. Paul & Manitoba railroad
company. By his fellow workmen he is
spoken of in the highest possible terms. He
is said to have been skilled, sober and in
dustrlous workman, kind husband, bounti-
full provider, and tender, loving father.
His neighbors, who stood in groups around
the forsaken cottage, fully attested to his
having possessed these many virtues. Of
their anteeedents or previous history, little
is known. The family arrived in st. Paul
last February from Terre Haute, Indiana,
since when Gibson has been employed with
the above named corporation. The family
have no relatives in st. Paul, but to his fel-
low workmen Gibson has frequently men
toned in affectionate terms a brother resid-
ing in Terre Haute. At the latter city the
deceased was we'll known, and was evidently
quite cultivated, as he was member of the
brass band of Terre Haute. Mr.. Gibson
was about 35 years of age, and his wife is
said to be about three years his junior.

Mra. and Miss Dore.

Mrs. Dore and her sister-in-law Miss Mel
lie Dore, we're the wife and sister of Mr.
James Dore, residing on the De Boew, near
Williams street. Mrs. Dore is daughter OF
Mrs. Shelby, residing at No. 132 Mississippi
street, and q niece of Mr.. Patrick O'Regan.
A GLOBE reporter called at the residence last
night and found the house was dark and de-
serted.
The party including Mr.. and Mrs. Dore,
the formers sister, Miss Nellie Dore, and q
one year old baby, left the house for White
Bear lake at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
The sad fate of two of the party is elsewhere
chronicled in this issue of the GLOBE.
Mrs. Dore, nee Miss Shelby, was married
about two years ago to Mr.. James Dore, a
mechanic in the employ of the st. Paul &
Manitoba Railroad company, She was %
years of age and is spoken of as faithful
wife and worthy woman.
Miss Nellie Dore was 21 years of age and
unmarried. The reporter called at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Dore's parents last night and
found the family prostrated with grief at the
terrible intelligence informing them of the
loss of their dear ones. Such grief is too
deep for portrayal and the curtain should be
drawn in sacred silence.

THAT INSURANCE.
The Motion to Set Aside the Verdict in tho
Clafiln-Murphy Cases Overruled.

The Motion to Set Aside the Verdict in tho
Clafiln-Murphy Cases Overruled.
In the United States court yesterday JUS
tice Miller delivered the following opinion:
A motion was made last week to set aside
the verdict in the case of Clafin & Co.
against the insurance companies. This is a
matter think left largely to the discretion
of the court. The plaintiffs ask for new
trial mainly on questions of law, on the
grounds that the court did not instruct the
jury properly. would call attention to one
issue which think is, Or ought to be the
main issue in the case, viz, as to the owner
ship of the goods. In the first place, no
matter what the policy may say, no
man can recover for loss he didn't sus tain,
or for loss of or damage to goods that he
was not the owner of in some sense, and so
this question arises, who wes the owner of
the goods? Here Clahin is the assignee of
Murphy and of course Claflin can have no
more rights than Murphy. He must stand
in Murphy's shoes.
The plaintiffs claim that it was error on
the part of the court to refuse to instruct
the jury that Murphy might have been the
owner of the goods as against the insurance
companies, and not as against his creditors;
that these goods were shuffied into the
hands of Murphy for the purpose of prevent
ing creditors from getting hold of them.
There is no proof whatever that Mrs. B ar
rett had any creditors, that she owed cent,
and therefore there could be no creditors
to defraud.
The next proposition of law may in some
sense be said to be true. was asked'to charge
that in Murphy's examination before the
insurance agents he could swear to as many
falsehoods as he could manage to do, about
the ownership of the goods and how, when
and where he had paid for them, provided
he didn't intend to defraud the insurance
companies, and if he did that with view to
reconcile his statements previously made to
| the mercantile agency and of impressing them
with the truth thereof, if the jury believed
| that he didn't intend to defraud the insurance
companies, that such false swearing would
not avoid the policies. at common law
| think that principle is correct. But
this examination of Murphy was made
| under contract with the insurance company
and by that contract he was bound to an
swer truly to all material questions put to
him, and the question of where, how and
when these goods were bought and paid for
was most material in order for the company
| to determine whether the claim was fraudu.
lent or not, and whether Murphy was the
real owner or not.
The judge then went on to say that hi
| fully concurred in the verdict of the jury
and that in all his experience he had never
seen case in which false swearing and
fraud were more plainly adduoed by the tes
timony than in this case, and that he wouli
not attempt to disturb the verdict. Th,
! motion for a new trial is overruled.
