GEN. JoHNsON,s ADDRESS.

Gen. R. W, Johnson, the Democratic
nominee for governor, publishes ring
ing address to the people in the current
number of the GLOBE. He meets the
only real issue in this state with a bold
ness which will command respect, even
from those who advocate reputation,
while it will be heartily endorsed by men
of all parties who believe in maintaining
state honor and credit.
His position is in marked contrast with
that of his opponent. The Republican
platform is utterly silent on this issue,
and their candidate for governor is astride
the fence, his friends IN st. Paul and Min
neapolis claiming that he is for paying
the bonds and among the rural repudia-
tionists he is quoted as against any set
Element. We understand he has been in
vited to define his position but he gives
no sign. He, apparently, intends to
dodge the question, hoping to secure
strength from both sides.
There is venerable fable about an ass
which starved to death between two
bundles of hay. We commend that little
story to Gen. Hubbard's prayerful con-
sideration.

A Strange Aft sir and One That Calls for

A Strange Aft ir and One That Calls for
Investigation in several Directions.
Last Tuesday night Frenchman named Louis
Lar ptip, foreman in Dotzians boot and she's manu-
factory, accompanied by Charles Tromb,y, started
to visit Chin's gambling house on Robert street
Reaching the landing which the rooms situat-
ed Langtin commenced pounding upon the blind
docr making considerable noise. The disturbance
brought Thomas jefferson the colored party, cut
into the hall, where hoisy coioquy took place be-
tween him and Langtin which ended in Langtin
falling or being knocked down the stairway to the
sidewalk, where he lay until policeman discovered
his PROSTATE FORM at supposiug it of timber
drunk had him carried of to the lock up
Laugtin remained in the lookup eli night, rs our
information goes, without manfesting the least sisn
of consciousness, and III the morning without any
examination being made iuto his condition, was
Dayton's bluff, where he has rema ned
ever since in an unconscious state,
and the chances are his physician says, that desth
will result from his injuries
since the dangerous character of Mr. Langtn's
INJURIES some of his friends have been quietly in
quiring into the circumstances of his visit to Chins
place and his fall down the stairway. This investi
CATION resulted in learning sufficient to satisfy them
that Langtin was pushed or knocked down the STAIR
way by jefferson, the porter, aud yesterday after
on the matter placed before Capt. Clark who
last evening instructed Detective OConnor to arrest
Jefferson, which was done, and he is now in the
lookup.
1T is understood the friends of Lapgtin claim to
have positive evidence that Jefferson struck and
pushed Langtin down the stairway. On the other
hand it is but fair to state that Jefferson denies
touching Langtn or doing anything more than to
ask him to go away, Of which he says he can Jog
perfs city reliable and positive proof The truth or
faIsity of these statements will be brought out most
likely az the preliminary examination to-day.
A singular circumstance in connection with the
affair, that needs looking into, also. is Mr. Langtins
being sent home as be was after night In the sts ion
house in an unconscious condition.

ISLANDERS. OF the play itself nothing need be said.
1t was written for hero character of the rough da
mond ORDER with lots OF simplicity, goodness. dew
itTy and downright vllany in it. The character Of
calvin Joslin," the hero, in Mr.. Davis hands, is
immense. Wisely, too, Mr. Davis has surrounded
himself with most excellent company Mr.. Harry
q. Stanley as Theophilus Oglesby Davis; VIM NJ.
Bell as Bob Ford; Miss Addie Eaton, as hrs. Clo-
rinda Josin; and Miss Josie Loane Julia Ford,
being particularly worthy Of support, though ali
creditaby filled their respective roles. The special
scenes were also attractive while the music, under
the direction of Harry G. Wells, wen enthusiastic
recognition from the immense audience, VINO showed
its thorough appreciation of the performance by
staying in their seats until the curtain dropped on
the last act. Judged by last night the number of
laughs announced in the bills ought to be increased
or the number of minutes cut down

noon, and the closing performance OF the engage

Progress of the St Paul & Manitoba.

Labor has been high priced all the year and
construction materials of all kinds have been
scarce, but this energetic Minnesota company
has nevertheless made great progress in I'M
proving it's property and extending its
| lines. Its rolling stock has been largely in.
creased, and it has put up numerous perma-
| nent structures, such as section houses, fuel
| sheds, water tanks, etc., besides adding to
| buildings at old stations and providing for
| new stations. Since mention two months
ago in the GLOBE of it's then new station
| buildings, it has built passenger and freight
| houses at Beardsley on the Browns valley
branch, Kindred and Everest on the Durbin
| extension, Sabin on the Evansville & Fargo
| line, and Argyle & Kennedy on the St. Vincent
division. Beardsley, Kindred, Everest and
| Sabin are even stations. In the same time the
| station house at Litchfeld has been rebuilt;
| an addition has been made to the freight house
at Fargo, making it now 200 feet long;
a fine passenger house at Fargo
| CINE house has beeu built at Fergus Falls
The other road structures put up in the same
| time number forty or fifty and include COM
| Portable section houses with sleeping apart
ments and several water tanks with steam
pumps.
The present condition of the new lines of
this company is about as follows: Twenty
Two IulleS Oh GrdCk HAS Dceu ldlu IrOm GraDQ
Forks on the Pembina branch, and track lay
ing will be continued through the season
The grading will probably be completed to
the Manitoba boundary this fall, ready for
ties and iron. Twenty miles of the extention
of the Crookston Grand Forks branch has
been graded and track laying was begun
from Ojata, Monday last. From
the point twenty miles west of
Ojata, to which this road is now graded, the
line will be nearly north and parallel with the
Pembina branch to the boundary. The Dur
bin extension northwest has been graded and
is being ironed to Maple, about thirty miles
north of the Northern Pacific. Grading on
the Wahpeton western line will be finished
about thirty-eight miles. From Morris north
easterly twenty miles will be graded. More
of the new grading would be irOned this year
but for the impossibility of procuring timber
and rails as fast as wanted. As it is, the COM
pany, which began this year with $50 miles of
track, will have at the beginning of 1882,
1,00S miles of track and about 100 miles of
grading ready for the track-layers, which will
be laid early in the spring.
The construction Of the railway has pro-
gressed far enough to show that it will with
in a few years consist of three trunk lines
from st. Paul to Manitoba, with three east
and west cross lines, two branch lines to the
James or Dakota river, one line to Lake Su-
perior and a northern branch from the Fergus
Falls division extending to the Red Lake
country. 1t will then embrace both sides of
the upper Mississippi valley and both sides of
the Red River valley and traverse in the three
lines the heart of the wheat belt and the best
agricultural lands of the northwest.

HOUSE..

The session yesterday was neither long nor
interesting few bills were introduced, but
these were mostly of local character, and of
course, only interesting to those more imme-
diately concerned. The remainder of the time
the house was in session-about two hours
was spent in petty squabbles over unimportant
trifes which to the outsider seemed hardly
worth wrangling over. One thing seemed
pretty certain from the outset, and this was
that an adjournment to Tuesday was the in
evitable outcome of the proceedings, all show
of opposition thereto to the contrary not
withstanding

THE SENATE.

The Senate was in session less than two
hours when an adjournment was taken to 2
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. The discussion
by which this result was reached demonstrate
ed that while there are few senators who
would like to dispose of the United States
senatorship and thus take recess for thirty
days or longer-at least ustil after election
majority believe in fighting the bond matter
out now. Though the session was short,
considerable business was transacted as will
be seen by looking over the detailed report,
but the only items the GLOBE will invite par
ticular attention to is the apportionment
scheme introduced by Senator Miller.

RACES DECLARED OFF.

lapsed.
The Minnesota Fall Trotting circgit, en-
bracing meetings of st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Hastings, has gone busted. According
to the programme the first meeting was to
have been held at Minneapolis yesterday and
the day before, Thursday and friday, at st.
Paul Tuesday aud Wednesday, and at Hastings
Friday and Saturday of the coming week.
Thursday, the first day at Minneapolis, the
weather was such the programme could not
be given, and a postponement was announced
to yesterday and to-day. Yesterday was
ushered in with one of the worst storms of
this fall of almost continuous storms.
Under these circumstances the officers of
the association held a meeting, and after talk
ing the matter over, some favoring a further
postponement Gf St. Paul and Hastings would
consent), and Others declaring the races off,
came down to St. Paul to confer with the Of
fcers selected to manage the meeting here,
Messrs. DeGratf, Merriam and Wood. After
an interchange of opinion the two associations
decided to declare the advertised races off,
Minneapolis on the account of weather, and
st. Paul for the reason that but three of their
advertised events had filled.
There was strong desire on the part of the
officers of both associations to have a meeting
the experience of the last nine weeks Of
almost continuous rain, and knowing that it
would take from three to six days of warm,
drying weather to put either track in condi-
ton for race, it was decided it would be
folly to longer indulge in hope, and in justice
TO the owners of horses as well as themselves,
it would be better to end the thing at once.
And so the declaration. The declaration af
fects quite number of horsemen who had
already gone to Minneapolis from different
portions of the state at considerable expense,
but they will recognize that the action taken
was unavoidable under the circumstances.
Had all owners sent similar responses to adj
refreshments for entries, it would have been
better all around:
