4 CANTING HYPOCRITE.

1t was to be expected, of course, that
George William Curtis would strike his
favorite attitude as civil service re-
former in the New Y ork Republican con-
vention and present resolution embody-
ing his supposed views upon how the
civil service should be conducted. 1t was
likewise to be expected that the conven-
ton would ignore him, as has been the
case almost invariably. The outlandish
figure presented by Mr.. Curtis as re-
former of any kind excites the disgust of
the practical politicians who make up
nominating conventions. Whatever may
be their ideas about the question suggest
ed, they are not prepared to accept the
advice of such mentor as he'editor of
Harper's Weekly. Mr.. Curtis, in this Ca
pact1ty, assumes a NEST ridiculous posi-
ton. He saw nothing wrong in the
shameful manner in which the govern
ment patronage, reinforced by perjury
bribery and forgery, was prostituted in
order to steal the presidency IN 1876;
he saw the offices of the govern
ment. frem the highest to the lowest
carefully distributed to the perpetrators
of the fraud, in accordance with prom
Uses previously made in behalf of r.
B. Hayes by his authorized agents
the famous ''visiting statesmen" he saw
these same twisting statesmen" perjure
themselves before the congressional COM
mittee that undertook to investigate the
conspiracy: he saw the contamination of
the bargain made between Hayes ennis
saries and the local Democratic manag
ers, by which the electoral votes of three
states were given to the Republican nom
inee and the state offices to the Demo-
Gratis.
These gross, palpable, stupendous
frauds-conceded by papers like the New
York Tribune, at the time and since, to be
the greatest political crime in our history
disturbed not the serenity nor excited
the indignation of MIR. Curtis. In fact,
he Endorsed them fully and unequivo-
cally, and stuck to the Hayes administra-
ton through its entire four years of I'M
lawful incumbency. But he was awfully
shocked by the manner in which the New
York custom house was conducted by
Messrs. Arthur, Cornell and Conkling!
Away with such bogus reformers!

The Mississippi Rever.

The river at this point is now about thir-
teen feet above low water mark, and residents
on the Sixth ward fats are apprehensively
watching the daily swelling of the great river.
Five or six feet more Of water would give them
repetition of their experiences of last
spring. But it is said the upper minnesota and
upper Mississippi are falling, and unless more
heavy rains come it is probable the good people
of the flats will soon rejoice to see the river
shrinking within its channel.
The White Eagle, of the st. Louis st.
Paul line, will leave for St. Louis to-day.
The Diamond 10, of the Diamond 10 line,

The steamboats, are doing good business
in both freight and passengers, but could and
would handle good deal more of freight if
the movement of produce was not delayed. As
it is, however, grain, potatoes and other stuff,
are beginning to come pretty freely to long
shore towns, and the boats are getting their
share of the carrying.

The Republican Papers Walk Up and Gulp
D0.ca the Whole Ticket.

Rochester Post The ticket is an excellent
one.
Pine Island News: Hubbard's support will
be as unanimous as was his nomination.
Brainerd Tribune: The Republican ticket is
a good one, and will be triumphantly elected
in November.
Atweter Press; Hubbard may be relied on
to carry the full party vote. The rest of the
tickets is strong.
Duluth Tribune: He is deserving of the
honor, and will make a capable executive.
Hurrah for Hubbard!
Saltwater MESSENGER: An honest, compe-
tent Democrat is infinitely preferable for gov
ernor to L. F. Hubbard.
Mazeppa Tribune: The ticket is good one,
because it shakes off the old ring which has
been TO long dominant.
Owatonna Journal: Want of space prevents
us from speaking in detail of the state con-
venton. We can only briefly say that it was
a splendid victory for Southern Minnesota.
Lanesboro Journal: Gen. Hubbard is one
Of the best men of the state, and his nOmina-
ton is an honor to the representative Repub-
lieans who were assembled at the state capitol.
Hastings Ne,c Era: No state convention
rings and disposing of chronic political die
tations. The ticket nominated is one which
every Republican will feel proud to support.
jackson Republic: The Republicans Of Min
nesota have good ticket to vote for this year,
and by glancing over it as it stands at the
head of our columns, they will observe that
there is no name there which they will need to
scratch.
Wells Advocate: Gen. Hubbard is an ener-
getic, Industrious man, and while he was not
our choice for candidate for governor, he will,
if elected to that Office, undoubtedly perform
the duties that fall to him in that position
with credit.
New Ulm Review: Although Gen. Hub
bard was not our first choice for governor, he
was by no means our last, and we cheerfully
acquiesce IN his nomination. Let us, like
good Republicans, bury all past differences
and give the ticket headed by Gen. Hubbard a
united and hearty support, which will insure
it a rouslng majority in November.
Mankato Free Press: There appears to be a
quiet exultation in this city over the nomina-
ton of Hubbard for governor; not because OF
any animosity against Pillsbury, but because
it is an overwhelming defeat of the Pioneer
Press ring, whose folds had nearly encircled
every branch of the state government and
whose dictation was becoming unbsarable.

Hubbard is notorious for boiling nom
nations when there was no excuse for
such action on public grounds; and for
no other reason than that they did not
suit his personal views. The most con-
spcuous instance of this sort was in 1875,
when, as member of the Republican
legislative caucus which nominated Alex.
Ramsey for United States senator, he vot-
ed for resolution that the candidate
having 80 votes, majority Of all, should
be the nominee of the Republican party,
and then deliberately bolted the nomina-
ton, and on the floor of the senate, when
other boilers thought it Necessary to frame
some excuse for their action, simply said
that he had no excuse to give. Associ-
ated with him in that dishonerable bolt
were the same George A. Camp, c. Fl.
Petit, R. B. Langdon and others who
were his co-partners in the recent shame

Action of linton Depot Directors.

The directors of the Union Depot and Trans
fer company, at their meetings held this week,
decided to cover the track platforms temporar-
iIy with frame sheds, so constructed as least to
damage the lumber, and these temporary struc-
lures are to be maintained until the permanent
iron sheds can be procured--probably until
next spring. The principal business of the
meetings, however, related to the maintenance
ofthe depot from charges collected from the
several companies. using the depot aud its
tracks. These charges, it is understood, have
been SO scaled according to mileage as not to
be obstructive to the running of short line
teams, as to Minneapolis, White Bear, Still
water, etc. In another respect, more important
to the general public, the action of the direc-
tory will give general satisfaction and accom-
plishes one of the principal objects for which
the organization of the company was desired.
This was in relation to transfer charges,
which have been fixed at nominal uniform
sum and so low that they will not hereafter
affect freight charges.

few miles of Sioux City and running at full
speed, ran off the track and the engine, be-
longing to the S. c. & P. company, was laid
on it's side in ditch and badly wrecked. The
engineer fell under his engine and was, it was
thought, fatally injured. None of the other
trainmen were seriously injured, and none of
the passengers suffered worse harm than the
fright and some bruises. Two special ears
attached to the train contained the Marquis of
Lorne and party, none of whom were hurt
The passenger cars were but little damaged
In consequence of this accident the Omaha

FUEL FOR THE WINTER

There are some fears of a coal famine
in the West during the coming winter
The Chicago Times has been investigating
the matter, and finds that the stock now
On hand In that city is no larger than at
this time last fall. Last year the supply
proved insufficient to meet the demand
in many localities west of Chicago, and
before spring opened coal could not be
purchased at any price in some places
Meme Of the Chicago dealers have yet
been able to fill their country contracts
for this season. The demand is expected
TO exceed that of last winter by Is per
cent, and how 1t is to be met is an i'm
pertant problem just now. The central
supply depot is Chicago, and if Chicago
annot get coal nearly the whole West
and Northwest will have to do
without it. The large dealers have
done all they could, they say, to forestall
the threatened evil. The trouble is
foHnd in the inability of the railroad
companies to furnish cars, for transpor-
tstion purposes.
The scarcity of cars is attributed
70 their being monopolized by the grain
men, who hold them in Chicago, instead
of releasing them to be sent east. The
price of hard coal in Chicago is now IS
per ton, and dealers say it will not GO
much higher than that figure if the rail-
roads will furnish fair supply of cars
St. Paul, and other northwestern cities
are interested in this question, as mat.
ter Of course, and will watch its various
phases with close attention. Meanwhile
nobody will lose anything by laying in a
full stock for winter consumption, where
it can be procured; for prices will be nc
lower and may be much higher.

THE CRAMER CASE REPEATED.
The Strange Story of Girl Whose Body
Was Found In the Erie Canal.

AhO obA"h6C otOAy "a a. WIFI w AuO0 A1ONJ
Was Found In the Erie Canal.
ALBION, N. Y, Oct. 4.-On Sunday morn
ing last boatman on the Erie canal, at Gains
basin, mile and q half west of this place,
saw body floating in the canal. Coroner
Cochrane was at once summoned, and he took
the body from the water. Examination showed
that it was the body of Nellie Wright, a
daughter OF James Wright, farmer, living at
Millville, near here. She was q beautiful
girl, about 20 years of age.
A deep scalp wound was found
over the medal line OF the head about four
inches long and there was wound over the
right eyebrow. The lungs were entirely free
from water, showing that death did not come
from drowning. The girl was enceinte. The
manner in which her clothing was arranged
added to the sus ,icion of foul play, as much
of 1t was put on wrong. On one finger was
plain gold ring, containing the initials, F.
Il. to N. w. In her pocket, which was
sewed up, was a letter addressed to her mother.
| At the cOroner's inquest to-day the letter was
read 1t was dated September 20, and in it
| the girl confesses that she had sinned and
brought disgrace upon her family. She says
she loved Fred Hopkins, who is divorced
| man, about so years old, the son of a
| wealthy farmer residing six miles from Abb
on, and who has been seen in Nellie's com
pany within the past few months. She could
not bear to see him love another and therefore
she had bought poison and was going to die,
and added: Erred Is responsible for it " Fred
had been kind to her until the past week, she
said, and he had asked her TO come and stay
with him Thursday night at Knowlesvi'le
and she was gong, as she could not bear to
die awey from him.
The testimony before the jury was so un-
satisfactory that the coroner adjourned the
inquest until the 10th INST, when it is hoped
to have more evidence. There
was enough testimony taken to-day,
however, to warrant the arrest OF Hop
kins Bail ives refused him and he will be
held to await a chemical analysis of the girls
stomach. Hopkins, when questioned in Jail,
said that Nellie was with him on Thursday
night and arose at o'clock IN the morning,
saying that she was doing to Albion; that
was the last he had seen of her. The phys
icians who made the autopsy say there can be
no doubt but that the girl was dead before the
body was put into the canal. The theory of
Nellie's friends is that Hopkins grew tired OF
the girl after betraying her and killed her to
avoid trOubld.
