Minnesota's latest attempt to get rid of her
reputation business has failed. A constitu-
tional amendment was adopted some years
ago, providing that no law making provision
for the payment of the Minnesota state rail-
road bonds should take effect until submitted
to and ratified by the people. The people
have been called upon to vote on the question
several times, and have always voted against
paying the bonds. The cities, save Winona,
have generally voted TO pay but the country
districts have voted the other way Finally,
this last year. the legislature, urged to it by
the governor, accepted proposition from the
bondholders to take fifty cents on the dollar,
and the governor appointed commission OF
five to decide as to the legality of this mode
of settlement. The supreme court was APP.
pealed to, and that court, which had previ.
ously decided that the constitutional amend.
ment was void because it impaired a contract,
has now decided that the new act is void be.
cause it delegates legislative functions to q
tribunal created by the legislature. 1t is to
be hoped that the people of the state may
now be shamed into paying the whole debt,
which they are perfectly able to do, and fol
the reputation of which there has never beer
any excuse

nen,h Of General Rnrn.ih..

General Burnside United States Senator
from Rhode Island, died suddenly on Tues
day morning. Gen. Burnside was a native
of Indiana, and was born at Liberty, in that
state in 1924. He was graduated from West
Point in 1S47, and served under General
Scott through the campaign that ended in
the capture of Mexico He resigned from
the army in 1852, and was appointed treasur-
er of the Illinois Central railroad in 1858. He
entered the Union army as colonel of the
First Rhode Island volunteers, commanded a
brigade at Bull Run, was promoted briga-
der and major-general. General Burnside
commanded the expedition to North Carolina
in 1862, and won the victories of Roanoke
Island and Newbern. At Antietam he COM
manded the left wing of the army, and was
afterwards appointed to succeed General Nc
Clellan in command Of the Army of the Po-
tomac. At Fredericksburg, December 18th,
1862, he suffered terrible repulse in his at
tack upon the lines of General Lee, losing
over 10, 600 men in killed and wounded. Re-
signing the command of the Army of the Po-
tomac, he subsequently commanded the
Ninth army corps in East Tennessee and un-
der Grant in the Army of the Potomac He
resigned from the service in April, 1865. He
was three times elected governor of Rhode
Island-in 1866, 1867 and 1868; and was
elected United States Senator in 1874 Ito sue
coed William Sprague) and again in 1880.
His senatorial term would have expired in
March, 1886. General Burnside was man
of handsome face and manly figure, a gallant
soldier, II true patriot, generous, modest and
magnanimous in his temper, and greatly be-
loved by all who knew him. The Immediate
cause of his death was spasms of the heart.
He had been slightly i'll for two or three days

Since the great fire in Chicago no calamity
has SO moved the hearts of the people or made
such demands on their sympathies as the con-
hngration in Michigan. 1t is doubtful, in
deed, whether the actual suffering endured
by the victims of the Chicago fire at ali
equaled that which must fall to the lot of the
hundreds or thousands who have been bereft
of family friends and home by the Michigan
forest fires. Whole townships and counties
burned over, 5000 families homeless and des-
titute, 200 persons burned to death and hun
dreds of others manned and suffering from
the hames-such is the outline of story
which appeals with pathetic and peculiar
force to the sympathies of humanity. The
response at the business centres has been
quick and willing but the work of relief is
one which cannot be accomplished in day
Present suffering can be relieved with compar-
alive ease, but in order to give the people of
this stricken section fair chance at life they
must have help during the whole winter in
the way of food, clothing, shelter, and seed
for the next years crop.

iston, Maine, district, caused by the resigna-
ton of Senator Frye, resulted in the election
of ex-Gov. Dingley, Republican, by over
5173 majority against 1476 Republican ma
jority for governor last year. Nearly every
town showed Republican gains. The candi-
dates were Dingley (Republican), Gilbert
(greenback) and Eustis (prohibition). The
Democratic candidate was withdrawn last
week and the Democratic committee advise
Democrats to vote for the greenback candi-
date. Many Democrats consequently refused
to go to the polls and others voted for Dingley.
Lewiston, the home of Gen. Dingley, gave
him 976 majority against l27 Republican ma
jority last year. His county of Androscog-
gin gives him over 1000 majority, against 226
Republican majority last year.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 1G,

At the examination of the President at $3.50
this morning, the temperature was 0S.6 pulse
104, respiration n. The febrile rise during
the night was not as pronounced as it usually
had been. There was at times considerable
acceleration of pulse. He, however, slept
comparatively well, and took stimulants and
nourishment as directed. The cough was
somewhat more troublesome during the first
part of the night, and the expectoration rath-
or moro purulent. The discharge from the
wound is less abundant and not quite as
healthy in appearance. The pulse, however,
has more volume, and his general condition
does not seem materially changed in any re-
speot.
