A WORD FOR WINDOW.

The magnificent success of the Sen
tirely unauthorized and alleged lille
gal(O procedure of the Secretary OF
the Treasury i'll reducing the public
interest account by the issue of what
are called "WindOms,n for the lack OF
any better description of an UMPIRE
cedented form of government bond
for the four per cents as well as for the
six per cents, should impress it strong
ly upon the public mind how much
better it is to manage the finances of q
great country by compact, bank like
executive administration than by the
wnmeeting fashion i'll Congress. The
fact that the latter method utterly
broke down and came to nought in the
very face of the crisis which required
the Secretary to assume the power that
he has taken with the approval of the
entire public, bondhOfding and other
wise, only emphasizes the superiority
of the former Boston Transcript.
The star-rOute stealings add their
lesson to the other facts which go TO

tise for Republican who has left his

Lumber For Rebuilding.

Mr. Pusey, private secretary Of Gov.
Pillsbury, received telegram yesterday
afternoon from his excellency in New
Ulm, saying the published reports of the
destruction of property and loss of life in
the great cyclone Friday had not been ex-
aggerated, and that the necessities of
some of the unfortunates were very great
and pressing. One great necessity is
lumber to rebuild the demolished dwell
ling houses, large proportion of which
belonged to the poorer classes, many of
whom lost all their worldly possessions by
the storm. Of course it is impossible
for these parties to rebuild without
assistance, and as commencement, the
governor requested Mr.. Pusey to see the
management of the Chicago, St. Paul &
Omaha railroad, and ascertain the best
terms that company would take lumber
from St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Saltwater to Kasota junction, where
it would be taken in charge by
the Winona & St. Peter road,
which it is understood will transport all
supplies, including lumber, free of
charge Mr.. Pusey will have confer
ence with the c., st. p g. O. manage
ment at the earliest possible moment, and
promptly wire their decision to the New
Ulm relief committee.
