IN OLD YET.

After Twenty-Five Years Continuous Ser
vice in the q. 8. Army, Going to Wash
ington to Take q Rest.
| A reporter for the GLOBE while making the
rounds yesterday, had the pleasure of meeting
an old veteran, whose time expired yesterday,
after q continuous service of Twenty-Five years
in the United States army. Weather-beaten,
battle-scarred and with face stained as brown
as peasant by the heat and exposure of many
fierce campaign, Sergeant Richard B. Dick
in.on, of company A, Seventh infantry, has a
record of which any man might well be proud.
He enlisted in company A., of the Sew
enth, at Newport, KY, in 1852, and he has fol-
lowed the viscitudes Of camp life ever since,
always re.enlisting when his time was up. He
arrived in st Paul yesterday from Fort Blu
ford en- route for Washington, whittier he goes
pursuant to telegram message from the
quartermaster generals department at the
seat of war. With yesterday is supposed to
have expired long and useful career Of active
service, and it is thought that he will be pro-
vided for in such 9 manner at Washington as
to allow him to retire on his wsll-earned
laurels.
The GLOBE reporter ran across him at the
Jackson street depot, where he was awaiting
the departure of the Eastern train. OF Ser
geant Dickinson's career, as a United States
regular, was learned the following: His first
extended trip was in 1858, when he accom-
panied the famous expedition to Utah. In 1850
his company Joined the Navajal expedition to
New Mexico, and participated in the battle Of
Mssilla in 1851.
In the same year, 1851, he was taken prisoner
at st. Augustine Springs, being released in
time to join the Army of the Potomac in 1862,
where his company were assigned to the
Fifth corps. BE was ct the battle OF Smick-
ems gap, Va, November 5, 1862; Fredericks-
burg, February u, 1868; New York riots July
10, Il and Is, 1858, and was afterwards mes
senger in the district Of Florida for three
years. OF late years his company has been
doing frontier duty. BE comes recommended
by Maj. Brotherton, Capt. Cambria Ee and
Second Lieut.. Woodbridge, Of the Seventh
infantry.

THE SEN ATE OFFICERS.

1t appears that the Mahonians are determined
to complete the organization of tho Senate at
the present special session with or without the
consent of the Democrats, and that in this they
will b supported by Senator David DAVIS, of
Illinois. That gentleman explained his pur-
pose In a brief speech on Thursday, In which
he said:
What my friend, the distinguished Senator
from New York, properly calls constitutional
majority, was disclosed when the Vice Pres-
dent, not member OF this body, gave cast
ing vote for the committees. However fleet
ing or fractional that majority may be, we are
commanded to accept it and to obey it. The
majority that chose the committees is fairly
entitled to the choice Of officers of the Senate.
One naturally goes with the other in order to
perfect the organization. This conclusion
will neither be delayed nor obstructed by any
vote OF mine, and 1t cannot be reached too
soon for the public interest.
1t is not the purpose of the GLOBE to ques-
ton the motives of Senator Davis in his new
departure, yet he had given reason to expect
that he would under no circumstances affiliate
with the Mahonians, or become responsible
in the slightest degree for their Infamous pro-
ceedlngs. His ratification of the corrupt bar
gain entered into by them will, therefore, prove
great disappointment to those who have
hoped for better things from him.
Senator Davis course, however, does not
change in the least the duty of the Democrats
in the premises. They can, without incon.ist-
ency, vote to elect all the candidates of the
Mahone caucus save the candidate for sergean .
alarms. That nomination is corrupt one. 1t
is the price paid for treason. No honest man
no man with q grain of self-respect-will
have aught to dc with it. 1t is as much the
duty of Democrats to oppose the consumma-
ton of this bargain as it would be to prevent
the payment of bride in dollars and cents
out Of the public treasury. Even the Mahon-
ians, accustomed as they are to questionable
transactions, shrink from such an open and in.
iquitous sale of the public offices, and would
fain have the cup pass from them.
Notwithstanding Senator Davis detection.
the Mahonians viii experience no little diff.
Guilty in carrying out their purpose. They will
seldom have full Senate with which to work.

FOREST CITY, March 22.---There has been
much said about "bulldozing'' in the South,
but perhaps it is not generally known that
like tactics are followed in Republican Min.
nesota.
At the annual town meeting held at Forest
City, Minnesota, March S, 1881, F. M. Shupe
was elected town clerk over his opponent by
nearly two thirds majority. Steps were taken
Immediately by the minority to defeat his
election by maligning his character, and by
that means bar him from getting the required
bonds. The bonds were duly procured
within the prescribed ten days. But, by
mistake, the oath of Office was
sent with the bond to the clerk of the district
court. The mistake was discovered too late
to return the oath to the town clerks
Office in the required limit. The board Of
supervisors knot0ing the fact that the proper
papers had been executed, and only the technl
cal point of the oath not being in the town
clerks Office to go on, deliberately matured
the plot to defeat the people, and kno,oins
Mr.. Shupe had gone for his oath of office, ap.
pointed the defeated candidate to the office OF
town clerk for the ensuing year!

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceoed by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms OF in
digestion are present, as fatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like pers-
piration, producing very dlsagreeable itch.
ing, particularly at night after getting warm
in bed, is a very common attendant.
INTERNAL external and itching piles
yield at once on the application Of
Dir. Bosapko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itching and
effecting permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produces permanent disa-
bility, but try it and be cured. Price 30 cents.
Ask your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it Of him, we will send it, prepaid,
on receipt of price. Address The DIR. Bosanko
Medicine Co., Piqua, Ohio.

By abstaining from voting the Democrats can

definitely.
But, declares the virtuous disciple of Ma
hone-the Senator from MISUNDERSTANDING is
revolution. 1t is amusing to witness how
soon pastime becomes crime when. it is
shifted from one party to the other. It Is
scarcely month since the Aahonians were
engaged in obstructing tho business of Con-
gress by precisely the means that tho Dem
ocrats now propose to empty. Was 1t treason
or revolution then! Oh, no. Under those
circumstances it was virtue. Then the Dem
ocrats were proposing to reduce the interest
on the public debt and to otherwise lessen the
burdens OF the people. 1t WAS perfectly
proper for the Mahonians to fllibuster day at.
ter day. Now the Mahonians want o few Of
fees, and if the Democrats attempt to fill
buster they will be guilty OF
treason most foul, and should be
hung to the nearest lamp post.
Thus far the Democrats have not been un.
reasonable. They might have prevented the
formation of the Senate committees in
the interest Of the Nshonians if they had
chosen to do SO. But, that the public inter-
ssts need not be in danger of suffering they
voted on the question, thus creating q quo
rum, and permitted the very doubtful right Of
the Vice President to decide the question by
his casting vote with only formal protest.
The Vice President, not being member of
the Senate, had only questionable right to
participate in its organization, but the Demo.
Gratis did not desire to appear captious, and
submitted to what many regard az an usupa-
ton OF power. In resisting the election of
hahone's candidate for scrgeantat-arms they
will not interfere with the dispatch of public
business. The 4ahonites, by persisting in
his election, will be responsible for whatever
injury to public business may ensue The
present sergeant-at-arms should remain until
some enc il nominated in his stead who is not
tainted with bribery and corruption.

Panics under such circumstances, no matter

from this cause, by providing all places Of
