Routine report.

The house was called to order at s O'Clock
p m, Speaker Fletcher in the chair.
THE COX CASE.
Mr.. Hicks announced that the judiciary
committee would be prepared to report on the
case of E st. Julien Cox, on Tuesday after
noon, and moved that the report of the com.
mlttee Re received in secret session. He cited
the case of the presentation of articles of i'm
leachment against Sherman Page, as prece
dent for the motion.
Mr.. Dnnohue asked whether this would moi
be trying the case without jury.
, MIR. Hicks said he made the motion ont oil
consideration for the feelings of Judge Cox
He did not claim that the inquiry had beer
any other than an eX parte one, but thought
that the friends of Judge Cox should be con
tent that the evidence be withheld from the
public.
Mr.. Gardner opposed the motion, and in 6
few vigorous sen eDc-s showed that whatever
was presented should go to the public. He
moved that Mr.. Hicks motion be laid ON the
table.
Mr. L. L; Baxter protested against secresy
If judge Cox had been guilty of ind scretions
it was due to him and to the public that al
the testimony should be known. He favored
an open session of the house when the repor
was made.
Mr. Burger was in favor of the fullest pub
Lefty of the charges aud the evidence
He had served with Ju 'ge Cox in the army
and had always found him to be a perfec
gent. man IN every sense of the word. He die
not believe the accusations brought agdins
him, but if they w re presented he wanted bin
(Cox) to have chance to defend himself be
fore the world.
Mr. Gardner stated that he had served as
lieutenant in Judge Cox's command, and en-
tertainrd the highest respect for him, both a.
a soldier and a gentlemsn. He may have
taken glass or two, but so had almost every
member of the hou-e. He ought, however, t,
have a chance to defend himself, land he moved
that the judic ary committee be instructed t,
hear Mr.. Cox, examine his witnesses, and give
him the p iviiege OF cro.s-examination.

The following statement from William j..
Coughlin Of Summerville, Mass, is so remark
able that We beg to ask for it the attention OF
our readers. he says: SIN the fall Of 1876

followed by severe cough. soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. / was SO weak al
one time that could not leave my bed. III
the summer of 1877 was admitted to the city
hospital. While there the doctors said l had
hole in my left lung as big as half dollar.
Iexpended over hundred dollars in doctors
and medicines. / was so far gone at one
time q report went around that / was
dead. / gave up hope, but q friend
told me of DR.. William Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at my
friends, thinking that my case was incurable,
but got bottle to satisfy them, when, to my
surprise and qualification, commenced 10 feel

and to-day feel in better spirit than have
the past three years.

that every one afflicted with Diseased Lungs
will be induced to take DR.. VIM Halls Balsam

sumption can be cured. / have taken two

borrowed plumage. He has the least abil-
ity of any man who ever sat in the Senate
or Cabinet.
His endeavor to gain little reputation
by claim which he would never have
made if Garfield had lived, is in accord
with the fraudulent political race he las
SO successfully run. We doubt if its
counterpart has ever been seen in Ameri-
can politics. A briefess lawyer, picked
up and sent to Congress as the cheapest
way his friends could supply him with
means of support, has blossomed
out as the confidential adviser of the
dead President on civil service reform.
Of course all this was carefully con-
cealed until Gen. Garfield was very thor
oughly dead. In his own career Mr..
Window has had abundant opportunity
to apply "civil service REFORM" but he
evidently has no ambition in that di-
rection save on paper. He is valiant in
wind but weak and cheap in practice.
If impudent assumption, and shallow
mouthings could pass for greatness, our
Bill Window would be one of the most
distinguished men of his time. In Min
nesota, where he is known, he passes
current for just what he is-a corrupt,
political charlatan.

mind made Kennedy's assault on Morrison

represent the case and me, you may white
wash Senator Morrison, you may blacken

packed jury packed by order of the legisla-

viction of Kennedy, but you never Can con-
vince me and greet many others who heard

A POLITICAL FRAUD.

To those who thoroughly understand
the calibre of Bill Window, it is refresh
ing to see the coolness with which he
takes an Associated Press reporter INTO
his confidence, in order to inform an ad
miring world that he had special dis
pensation of civil service reform, which
was just about to be adopted by President
Garfield when the fatal bullet was fired.
Endeavoring to gain cheap notoriety by
rubbing against the coffin of man who
was honestly endeavoring to work
reforms in the distribution or
public patronage, is not a re-
markable feat for Mr.. Window to per-
form. Whatever prominence he has ac-
quired has been secured by strutting in

TEE GLOBE takes great pleasure in
publishing an authoritative announce
ment from Gov Marshall that he has not
left the Republican party and joined the
Prohibitionists. The long service to his
party and the many rewards he has re-
ceived, renders it appropriate for him to
remain with the Republican organization
even though he has been temporarily
shelved. By remaining steadfast and re-
fuslng to join such side issues as the Pro-
hibitionists, Greenbackers or Labor Re-
formers, he will be able to regain his lost
prestige IN his party, and receive the re-
wards which his ability and mer-
itorious services demand. The GLOBE
is therefore glad to learn, for
Gov. Marshall's own sake that its rural
contemporary was mistaken in a nnounc-
ing his withdrawal from the Republican
organization. We also cheerfully accept
his disclaimer relative to favoring the
abolition of the Office which he is about
to leave. The fact that the bill intro
duced in the house came from an especial
friend of Gov. Marshall's, and one, who
last winter strongly opposed the abolition
of the Office when it was supposed there
would be no change in the incumbent,
led to the impression that the Railroad
Commissioner was the pow er behind the
throne. AS the governor does not re-
nounce his allegiance to his party. it is
wise in him not to display the soreness
which he, evidently feels, by destroying
the Office for his successor.

Officers Cook and Casey are two of the old
est on the force in length of service. Their
robust forms and witchful appearance when
on duty are as familiar to residents as the
bluffs which enclose the city. Crooks in
working their rackets shun their beats as
they would smallpox hospital and the in
nOcent countryman, beset 10y the manifold
temptations of the wicked city, instinctively
appeals to them for protection, and never In
VAN. Such are the heroes of ,r tale.
1t happened Sunday night between 10 and
IL o'clock. Officer Casey being of duty, was
walking and talking with his old chum and
brother officer, Cook, who had the Merchants
no ell beat While thus engaged they saw an
innocent looking Sweede, evidently stranger
IN tire city, somewhat under the influence OF
"bug -juice," enter sa DON and call for
bowl OF the ardent. In paying for his drink
Mr.. Sweede displayed quite large roll of
money. Soon after he took in another bowl,
beg ming to show itself in increaed inc
briefly. The sight, the thought Of
the probable family at home to whom
the money would be Blessing, and of the
danger of his being held up and relieved of the
roll, by some of the many crooks looking ont
for whom they may go through, touched'the
officers on the soft side. The Ssede Was
hardly drunk enough to warrant an arrest, but
they decided to put him to bed and put his
money under lock and key for safe keeping.
To this end they look him to the Sherman
house, gave his money to the clerk, nerly $3.50
taking receipt for 1t, and had him comfort
ably stored away in bed when they returned
to their duty with the consciousness of having
done good deed.
The curtain nowrlifts on the police roll cill
at ock yesterday morning. While it was
in progress, Swede named John johnson,
disheveled and torn, and with most woe BE-
gone countensnce, reported that a brother
Swede, describing him, had taken advantage
of him the night before, while IN oxicated, to
relieve him OF about s165. Then Officer Cox
scratched his head ans 10 kid at Casey, and
IN turn Casey went through the same OPERA
ton. Then Officer Cook went out into the air
to commune with himself, and as
he communed, he would kick himself
to enliven his imagination, while
such words as sstupid," 'sold," etc., would
fall from his lips Finally he shook himself
together and returning to the room, told the

Mr.. George c. Collins, the young man so
seriously injured by being struck and cut by

above the wrist joint yesterday afternoon, DR..
Snyder performing the operation, assisted ny

operation remarkably well, and appears to be
doing as finely as could be expected. Further
investigation into the circumstances attending
the injury show that it was an accident pure
and simple, occurring as described, by collision
with the obstruction on the sidewalk by which
the blind to the broken window was supported.
