TIE bulldozing banks have received q
deserved rebuke from the new admins
tration. 1t was yesterday decided to re-
fuse their request to withdraw their cur
rency and redeposit their bonds with the
treasury. If they desire to again issue
currency they will have to go to the ex-
pense of recognizing their Institutions
This may prove to be warning to them
to desist from any future attempts to
run the government. 1t will also be
gratifying to the public as an evidence
that we have at last man of backbone
at the head of the government.

course, is that of Window. A Washington
dispatch in to-day's World revives for our
readers the financial record of the man who
has been called npon to confirm resumption
and to complete refunding in the cabinet of
hard money President. There is
unfit man in the country than Mr.. Window
for the place to which he has been nominated.
The wild way of dealing with great public
questions which he has habitually followed in
the Senate is precisely calculated to alarm
investors, domestic and foreign, as to
the financial policy of the country at
time when every possible security as
to it ought to be given to them, in view
of the certainty that some scheme of further
refundng must be adopted by Congress, no
matter what becomes of the measure which
MIR. Hayes vetoed to Oblige the banks. If it
be true that the appointment of Mr.. Window
was suggested or accepted by Senator Conk-
ling either as his first choice or as q COM
promise. what revelation is this to New
Workers OF the sOundDeSs on questions OF
currency and finance of their representatives
in the Senate! Senator Conkling has re-
peatedly failed to submit his views on these
subjects to the test of a vote upon any meas
ure when the facts were on one side of the
case and popular prejudice existed or was
imagined by him to exist on the other. If
MI. WINDOW De senator COnKIlngs secretary
there need be no further test applied. The nomi-
nation of Gen. Weaver would not have been
more eloquent of peril. Possibly Gen. Gar
field may have chosen Mr.. Window of his own
motion, and because the Minnesota delegation,
which had chung to Mr.. Window during the
battle against Blaine at Chicago, was among
the first to break, and resolutely
ran away from Mr.. Window
to Gen. Garfield when the
convention could hold out no longer. If this
be the case, it is pity that a President from
whom the country had hoped for conserva-
tive front could find no cheaper way of ac-
quitting his political debts than at the ex-
pense of the credit and to the imminent peril
of the prosperity of the country.

IDENTIFLED.

The Body Found in the River Proves to
BE That of John Mccartney.
The inquest on the f1oater found in the
river near Davidson's elevator last Thurs
day was held in the sheriff's Office at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The jury
consisted of the following citizens: r.
Ireland, John Bell, ]. J. Donnelly, b. H.
Athey, John O'Brien and GLOBE re-
porter.
The remains were brought to the
morgue Thursday night, where they were
visited yesterday by several citizens, in
hopes or dread of ascertaining final
clue to a missing friend. Among those
who viewed the remains were Thomas
Smith, brother in law of John Mccartney,
who was last seen on the night of the
Democratic demonstration in Minneapo-
lis, the Friday before the fall election,
the deceased being one of those who
joined the delegation from this city.
Mr. Smith at once identified the de-
ceased as his relative, and the coroner de-
cided to hold an inquest
At 4 O'Clock, Mr. Smith failed to put in
an appearance and the inquest was pro-
ceeded with. The remains were identi-
fed by two of the jurors, Messrs. O'Brien
and Bell, who recognized the deceased as
John Mccartney. There being no testi-
mony the jury found that the deceased,
John Mccartney, came to his death by
drowning, the manner of which to the
jury is unknown
The theories as to the manner of death
are vague and uncertain, the most
plausible being that on the night of the
demonstration he lost his way in Mime
apolis, and wandering to the banks of the
river, fell in and was drowned. The de-
ceased was a teamster and resided near
Hamm's brewery He leaves wife and
four children.

Mr.. ToUsLEY's declination of the ap-

is not likely that there will now be any
change. Since the fire no new man can
take charge of the Office properly, and
MI Burt's presence becomes an essential
if he can be prevailed upon to remain.
There was large amount of books and
papers lost in the fire, and it will require

THE Wisconsin legislature has also re-
fused to pass law forbidding the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors in
that State, though the vote was almost as
close as it was in Minnesota. One of the
chief industries of the State is the manu-

the principal occupation of the members
of its legislature is the effort to dispose
of it. The temperance folks have good
deal of hardihood to attack the enemy in

My Dear Governor: In the New York
Express of Saturday evening found pub
lished what purported to be letter from
you, in which, referring to your efforts to
discover the so-called NIorey Chinese
letter, you say: "We believe we shall get
at the the true inwardness of the matter,
but we need money with which to prose-
cute the inquiry. We are asking our
friends to contribute in sums of 500 or
less'' From the positive statements
which l have seen in the newspapers, l
had reason to suppose you had already
secured the evidence necessary to estab-
fish the authorship of the wicked letter
which is supposed to have been signed
by Gen. Garfield, and which he afterward
repudiated as brutal forgery.
| regret to learn that this is not the
case, and, being convinced that it con-
Germs Democrats quite as much as Re-
publicans to get at the true "inwardness
of the matter" as you phrase it, en-
close herewith my check for 800 as a
contribution towards the funds necessary
to bring the inquiry to successful con-
elusion. In case your request does not
bring you sufficient means for that pur-
pose beg that you will let me know, in
order that may join you in raising the
necessary funds; and l earnestly hope
you will not slacken your efforts to "hunt
the rascal down." Sincerely yours,
ABRAM S. HEWITT.
