THE OLD AND THE NER SENATE.

But little Of new blood of good quality
has been infused into the United States
Senate as result of the recent elections
Many Of those who in the past have borne
the brunt of battle on both the Democratic
and Republican sides have been retired,
and new men elected in their stead, who
are as yet untried on the floor of that
august body. The veteran Hamlin, find
ing old age creeping over him, has vol
unfairly laid aside the toga, and his place
has been filed by Hale, younger man,
with some experience in the House, but
lacking the prestige that his venerable
predecessor has enjoyed for many years.
Blaine, too, has left the chamber, prob
ably never to return, and the mercurial
Frye has been chosen to supersede him.
Carpenter, brilliant and commanding in
his genius, has gone to that
bourne whence no traveller re-
turns, and his seat has been filled by a
man comparatively mediocre in ability.
Thurman has successor nearer his peer
than any of the others, yet his presence
his calm, cool counsel--will be greatly
missed, while his stalwart honesty and
devotion to the interests of the people
will never be excelled. Herman has given
place to mouthpiece of Conkling; Wal.
lace has surrendered to one of Cameron's
henchmen; the statesman Mcdonald has
stepped down and out in favor of mere
politician; Randolph, always safe and
conservative, has been set aside in favor
of the attorney of railroad monopoly,
while Bruce, the last vestige of the col
ored millions of the nation, has been
obliged to surrender to Caucasian sue
cessor. Window and Klrkwood have
also been removed to higher sphere, but
whether their successors shall prove worse
or better time only will reveal.
With very few exceptions the charac-
ter of the Senate has been greatly lowered
by the recent accessions. Indeed, it
would have been difficult to choose an
equal number of men capable of holding
their own with such regal minds as Car
penter, Thurman, Blaine, Hamlin, Nc
Donald, Herman and Wallace. These
were all men who had, by their super ior
ability, earned for themselves honorable
places in the history of the country.
They may have been in a measure selfish,
but their road to eminence lay through
the practice of anselfishness. Few of

them have been touched with the breath
of scandal; all have been able to live
down whatever of evil has been
laid to their lcharge. They
were and are intellectual giants beside
whom their successors are mere
pigmies. In the fierce par
liamentary struggles that have
been 80 frequent since the war they have
been ever at the front. and their encoun-
tiers have been worthy to be rated with
the most brilliant of any age or of any
country. They have not lacked in loren
sic eloquence, great learning in interna-
tional law and domestic polity. They
have stood boldly for what they conceived
to be right, asking no quarter from their
adversaries, disdaining all compromises,
plunging into the thickest of the fray.
Taking them all in all, they were men
worthy of a foeman's steel, and 1t will be
many years ere we shall look upon their
like again.
The new Senate will be under the COM
plete domination of few controlling
minds. Conkling, Sherman, Cameron,
Edmunds and Logan are all on the Re-
publican side who can be properly de-
nominated leaders. To their will the rest
must bow in meek submission. Hawley
and Harrison may in time fit themselves
for leadership, but not for years.
Among the Democrats there
has also been timing out of the ranks.
Bayard, Pendleton, Beck, VOORHEES,, La
mar and Johnston are capable, cool-head-
ed, and worthy of all confidence. Hill,
Vest and Hampton may yet develop de-
gree of craftsmanship that will inspire
trust in the public mind. AS whole,
however, the new Senate is vastly infe-
rIor to the old. There is less of pronounc-
ed natural ability, less of native elo
quence, less of tried honesty and upright
ness of purpose. What the new and IN
tried members may prove to be, omnis-
cience only can foretell. tits to be hoped
they will prove more worthy to succeed
the great men who have gone before than
appearances seem to indicate. But it is
probable that this generation will not
look upon Senate so eminent in point
of ability as that which met for the last
time on the third day of the last
month.

A Snow Blockade of Seven Days.

Among the arrivals at the Merchants
yesterday was Capt. d. O'Toole, post
trader at Fort Keogh, Mont, and wife.
Capt. O'Toole left Fort Keogh on the 2Sth
ult., making him eighteen days on the
trip. When he left Keogh the snow had
entirely disappeared, the grass had be-
gun to turn green, and the
weather was generally springlike,
but after striking the Northern
Pacific railroad, when near Green River,
some forty miles this side of the Little
Missouri, heavy snow storm was en-
countered blockading the train for seven
days. The weather was mild, and fuel
was within easy reach, 50 that no one suf-
fered from cold, but the passengers and
train men were all on short rations during
the entire time, hard biscuit and piece
of cold pork being the bill of fare for each
meal the last few days. Captain Keogh
and wife left last evening for Chicago.

The Municipal Judasshtp,

To the Editor of the Globe.
The articles in the GLOBE of Monday
and Thursday mornings conclusively
show that last November was not the le-
gal time for electing municipal judge,
and that the act of the legislature last
winter, attempting to legalize such illegal
election, is unconstitutional and void,
and that, therefore, there is vacancy in
that Office which legally and properly
should be filled at the near approaching
city election on the first Tuesday in May
next This, however, seems to have es-
capped the city Democratic committee,
and the office of municipal judge is
omitted in their call for convention to
nominate city officers to-day.
The omission IN the call, it is
hoped, will not prevent the con-
vention from nominating suitable
candidate for the Office of municipal
Judge, and that the manipulations of no
person, whether in or out of the Demo-
cratic party, will blind that convention
to the Importance of making, and the full
obligation of it's duty to make such nomi-
nation The Office is one of the most i'm
pOIIduI III tuC Guy, IlClO 10 oil tAIio PuUd-
BILE vacancy in it, which should be filled
at the next May election, and this office
with all the other city offices, of right and
fairness, legitimately belong to the Dem.
oc,atic party. On a small scale, the
usurpation of this Office is somewhat
parallel with Hayes usurpation of the
Presidency, although differing in the
circumstances of their preparation. If
Hayes had procured some fellow, like
Malone, to wriggle through
Congress an act legalizing His
Fraudulency's election, the resemblance
would be still more complete,
and who can doubt but that Hayes would
have cheerfully signed the act? That
Hayes fraud was deadly poison, insid-
uously inserted into the very heart of the
elective system of our nation, and has,
and is doing more to acknowledged
paralize--the Democratic party than any
other occurrence in the last twenty years
is plain to all parties. 1t demonstrated
what de facto could do with dejure, when
backed by impudent, persistent and de-
fiant wrong, if the right stands hesitating
and fails to assert and maintain its claim.
The de facto plan is being tried here, on
the municipal judgeship, and it only re-
mains tor the Democracy to say whether
it shall or shall not succeed. A few
Abraham Hewett's, with their fear, if
not of "disturbed trade and values"
then with what to them is worse, their
fear of disturbed chances of election, or
reelection, canieasily pour cold water
enough to chill and cool down any en-
thuslasm about righting this wrong
In the presence of these facts and con-
siderations, it is the duty of the conven-
ton to-day to nominate some staunch and
suitable Democrat for the office of munic-
ipal Judge; 1t is the duty of the city COM
mon council to place municipal judge
among the names of the officers who are
to be elected, in the notice of election,
and it is the duty of every Democratic
voter to strive with voice and ballot to
elect the whole of such Democ ratio
ticket.

BAD state OF @10trs IN M0sCer C0Hntys
To the Editor of the Globe.
AUSTIN, April by on will remember
that telegram was sent you August Is,
1880, regarding the attempt upon the life
of Judge Page. That telegram covered
the whole matter That was true; it is
true to-day. On the morning of August
rs, between 10 and IL A. NJ, I called at
the hardware stores to see If guns were
in the different stores for sale; also to
find out where duck aed buck shot was
sold. | found the fact to my satisfaction.
wish to say that Adams and others,
friends of the p. p, are mistaken regard
ing the date when Peck, from Belvidere,
was here, as stated in the p p. of the
18th, but then it is good enough
Morgan for them to start to throw
the people of this State off their
guard to create prejudice against Page,
and in favor of the men that supported
and carried out the plan that is to exter-
inmate every man that is friendly to Page.
Public officers of this county prostitute
their office to carry out this plan. Floral
offerings were made at the acquittal of
Riley; the same was made to the Younger
Brothers that shot the cashier of the
Northfield bank. Floral offerings were
given to Chastine Cox, the negro who
murdered the lady of New York.
The better class of people say let them
all be punished that commit crime. This
community is in a bad state; the law
abiding citizen dare not openly express
his opinion, or there is danger of the torch
being applied to his building Your
friend, JUSTICE.

1T looks as if Mrs. Christiancy would
succeed in establishing her innocence of
the grave charges preferred against her
by her husband. If she shall so succeed
the public generally will be gratided.
There is little doubt but she married the
ancient and erratlc gentleman for the
money he was supposed to possess and the
social advantage the alliance would give
her. She acted precisely as thousands of
other women in the same position have
acted and is probably no better or worse
than they. But the infamous persecution
of her husband has enlisted the sympa-
thies of the public in her behalf There
will be general satisfaction if the ancient
husband is beaten in his suit.

One OF Mr. JDy Gom1d's Newspapers.
From the Philadelphia Tines

Those who have assumed that Jay
Gould couldn't run newspaper success
fully may discover their error by noting
the announcement made in yesterday
New York Tribune. 1t was bought by
Mr. Gould some eight years ago, or rather
fifty-one of the 100 shares were bought
by him for $50, 900, and since then he
has run it to suit his political and finan-
cial speculations, with Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
as his editor.
In some of what are commonly regard
ed as the chief features of journalistic
success, 1Mr. Gould has not made the
Tribune successful, but in what Mr.. Gould
considers journalistic success he has made
it entirely successful. True, the stock
holders have had no dividends
and the shares of the minority
have little market value, but that
wasn't what Mr.. Gould wanted the 7ri6-
s1ae for. He bulled and beared Wall
street, bulled and beared political parties,
bulled and beared Presidents, Senators,
and supreme court judges, and he made
it pay. If the minority stockholders
didn't come out so well it was their mis-
fortune and not their fault, and they can
console themselves with the reflection
that they are not to blame.
In Yesterdays edition Of the Tribune,
being the fertieth anniversary of the
paper founded by Horace Greeley, Mr..
Gould announces that its debt has been
reduced to about 800, 900: that it could
pay dividends now, but that it probably
won't; that Mr.. Gould is contemplating
"with cheerful equanimity,'' the use OF
the profits in some other direction, and
during the past year the Tribune Sat
tanned the largest circulation it has ever
reached" 1t was doubtless a mere
oversight of Mr. Goulds editor in
emitting to state that the large circula-
ton of the last year was Mr.. Gould's
forced sale of the paper for free distribu-
ton in the campaign, and that Mr.. Gould
has doubled the capital stock of the COM
pany, which, rating it at the price he
paid for his original interest, increased
the capital just one million dollars; but
Mr.. Gould wouldn't be expected to notice
little transaction like watering the
stock of his newspaper million dollars,
when he waters telegraphs and railways
by tens of millions by dash OF the
pen.
Viewing journalism from Mr.. Gould's
standpoint, he has made the Tribune q
success. He has made it pay himself and
nobody else, and that's just what he
wanted it for. There are many old-fash-
toned journalists devoted to journalism
as an honorable profession, who will diff
fer from Mr.. Gould's idea Of newspaper
success, but this is free country, and
every man pays his money and takes his
choice.

wtnaom and the Northern Pacific.
New York World.]


Secretary WINDOWS Jack-in- a-Box ap-
pearance on Friday night in Wall street
as stock manipulation has not only re-
minded the street of the fact that he was
one of the original stockholders of the
Northern Pacific railroad incorporated
when he was member of the Thirty
eighth Congress, but it.has also revived
the recollection of Mr.. WINDOWS words
and works at the time when the govern
ment incorporators were named for the
Union Pacific railway while its charter
was pending before the House, April 80,
1862. According to the Congressional
Record of that date, Mr.. Thaddeus Ste
vens, MIR. Ohm, of New York,
Mr.. Shellabarger, of Ohio, and
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, had been for
some time suggesting the names of in
corporators, when Mr.. Window facetious-
ly interrupted them with this inquiry: els
it in order to move to amend to include
that table of the census which gives the
names of heads of families ?" To this the
chairman replied. "Out of order" This
was very droll no doubt, but no one sug-
gested to Jay Cook when he made up his
original subscriptions list to the Northern
the name of Mr.. Window in order TO add
names from the census lists. The bill to
incorporate Jay Cookies railway passed
with proviso that no money should be
given to aid it from the United States
treasury; but April 26, lS66-about two
years subsequently to the passage of the
original bill-an alder bill entitled ga
bill to secure the speedy construction of
ha Nnrfh
for discussion Mr.. Farnsworth, of Il
linois, had just caused to be read letter
| from Chicago constituent received by
Mr.. Wentworth, when he was interrupt
ed by Mr.. Window. Mr.. Farnsworth
had severely criticised as a lobby
document circular of the board
of trade of Chicago favoring
the road, of which the writer of the let
| ter to Mr. Wentworth said: "You under
stand its object-lt is to influence the
vote of yourself and of other members
| from this State in its favor" Mr.. Win
dom broke in with this question: els
not that common thing" Mr.. Farms
worth replied: 81 believe it is common
| for any lobbyist who wants to pass par
| tIcular bill to affect the commerce of the
country to manipulate boards of trade
and get such resolutions indorsing their
projects" The retort aroused Mr. Win
| dom to defense of the circular and of
the bill, although Farnsworth, Wentworth
and Washburne, all Illinois members, had
not been apparently impressed by this
circular from their own constituents. Mr..
Window wound up his speech by calling
Mr.. Farnsworth's arraignment of the
Chicago circular favoring subsidy "a
mares nest.' Mr.. Farnsworth again
attacked the alder bill and termed 1t "a
speculation measure" At this very time,
though Mr.. Farnsworth did not know the
fact, Mr.. Window, as we now learn, was
q stakeholder in the road entitled to
2,146 shares as an extra issue. Mr.. Win
dom is now secretary of the treasury and
this extra issue has just been made
for him at time when it could not fail
vitality to affect the market value of the
securities.

II They Take Him at Hts Word He Can't
Do 1t.

Washington Cor. Cincinnti Enquirer.]
The Eastern banks, IN their solicitude
to let the secretary of the treasury know
they are delighted with his plan to redeem
the debt, have dispensed with the slow
course Of the mails, and have kept the
wires hot to-day notifying the secretary
they will accept the scaled rate of inter-
est and let their bonds remain in the
treasury. With the aid of the banks of
course Mr. WINDOWS financial plan will
succeed. Still, the proposition is this:
The secretary says: 81 will redeem the
S195, 100000 of six per cents if
the holders so elect" Despite the
fact if all the holders walked up
to the captains office for settle
ment, the secretary has not the money on
hand with which to make the redemp-
ton. This is notorious. By the 10th of
May, under the treasury circular, of
course the secretary will know how many
he will be called upon to redeem; and, if
need be, for the purpose of redemption,
he can utilize the unsold four per cents.
1t will cost but very little to issue regis
tered bonds in place Of the skies to those
who elect to continue at 81 per cent.
The registered bonds will be printed from
the same plate that the original bonds
were worked off. The only change in
the bonds will be the stamping on the
back of the condition under which it is
issued. The bureau of engraving and
printing has been ordered to prepare
bonds IN conformity with the plan of the
department.

the churn, and the butter rinsed
by rocking the churn in
stead of revolving it. The
water should then be drawn off and the
buttermilk will be nearly all out before
it is put on to the butter worker to re-
ceive the salt. In summer, if butter
comes soft, the water should be cooled
with ice and little salt added, which
will harden the grain of the butter.
Salt should be added according to the
taste of customers. l have found one
pound of pure ground rock salt to twenty
pounds of butter to give good satisfac
ton. Nothing but the very best quality
of salt should be used for butter. If rock
salt cannot be obtained Ashton is the
next best.
WORKING BUTTER.
The first working, when the butter is
sailed, should be only enough to get the
salt thoroughly mixed, as the grain of the
butter is much easier broken than after it
has stood few hours, as the salt hard
ems it.
A common lever butter-worker / con-
slider as good as any, but great care
should be taken not to break the grain by
overworking.
The packing or balling should be done
according to the circumstances for which
it is wanted, and according to the taste of
the maker, but it should be kept in cool
place, and as nearly air-tight as posi-
| ble
| In conclusion, allow me to urge upon
| the dairymen of Minnesota the impor-
lance of improving in the quality of your
butter, for the demond for strictly pure
| butter has never been filed According
to the New York Tribune butter is
shipped from France to the dealers IN
| New York. This Is because there is ac-
tually scarcity in that city of the first
| class butter for the class of customers de-
string that quality.
This butter is made from choice cows,
choicely fed on sweet, clean food; the
milking is done in the neatest, cleanest
| manner The milk is handled as care
| fully as though it was nectar; the cream
| is churned with the utmost care with
clock and thermometer, the butter is
worked with skill and put up in shapely
cakes.
| Compare this butter, hard, golden, yell
low, sweet, fragrant and tempting to all
the senses, with a chunk that is cut out OF
greasy keg, and smells of old age
and rancidity, and is made of ill kept
cream, filthily taken care of, and careless
ly MIXED and churned, and taken care OF
with indifference, and the difference be-
tween the two articles is amply accounted
for. Minnesota is naturally an excellent
butter State, with water, feed and eli
mate adapted to the dairy interest, and
let us do our part and we shall succeed.

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 a very disagreeable itch
ing, particularly at night after getting warm
in bed, is very common attendant
Internal, external and itching piles
yield at once on the application of
DR.. Bosanko'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 so 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

taken in the Senate, and are anxious for
some avenue by which they can beat re-

We may safely expect some decisive re-
