believed the legislature had builded better
than it knew, and that Mr..
Sabin would represent the young state of
Minnesota in a manner that would reflect
the greatest credit upon the state as well as
himself. His selection marks an
era in the history of Still
water, as we'll as of the state. The
issues before the people to-day are widely
different from those of twenty years ago,
and the man to grapple with those issues
most successfully must be fresh from the
people. Window might have been good
representative of the state in
his day, but in his long
absence from the state he had drifted away
from the people and to-day was not in
sympathy with their interests. 1t was this
reason Window was rejected. The people
wanted representative in congress in
hearty sympathy with the new or
der of things, who knows from
contact with them what was demanded for
their good, and the career of Mr.. Sabin
in his business relations and IN the halls of
the state legislature, was guarantee that
in him they would have such a representa-
tive after the 4th of March next.
GEN. >. l.. JENNloON'
was next called upon the stage, and made
one of his mosthappy and characteristic
speeches full of wit and humor. He had
been in Saltwater before and it was a
good place to come to. He
had spoken in Saltwater De-
fore but under circumstances less ia
vorable than the present. He congratulate
ed the citizens on their Grand Opera house,
the finest in the state. He also congratu-
lated them on possessing q United States
senator. Most of the people knew him be-
fore that day and those who did not would
know him now. He was not one of
the 100000 or over who had made Mr..
Sabin senator. He had been conspicuous
for his absence when the battle waged
fierce in the rotundas of the hotels. Had
certain class of supporters of Senator
Window, who we're the subject of
certain caucus resolution, emulated
his virtue in this respect Mr.. Window
might have been his own successor. Senator
Sabin had been a successful man. As a
boy he had been obliged to look out for
himself and he had done it. He was man
possessed of good judgment and if he
acted on that he would make a
worthy representative of the people.
The new senator had been told to-day
what was expected of him. He had been
told what he must and what he must not
do. For his part, if Senator Sabin could
come home and look his friends in the
face and say, acted so because I thought
it was right, he had no fears that
he would make any failures which the
people would not overlook.
Throughout the remarks of the general
the audience was in turn convulsed with
laughter or reused into the highest enthu-
siasm.
While these latter speeches were in pro-
gress the visitors were being RECALLED with
supper at the Sawyer house. Gen. Jen-
nison's speech concluded the exercises at
the Opera house, and at p. m. the party
were homeward bound, reaching st. Paul

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-By command OF the
emperor, Bismarck sent the following let
ter to German consuls and other diplomat
ic agents of the United States concerned
in collecting and forwarding subscriptions
for relief of sufferers by the recent floods:
The emperor has learned with keen inter
est, from your report, how general was the
sympathy awakened among the German
citizens of America for the sufferings of
residents of the inundated districts. He
is much gratifed to learn of the feeling of
kinship which citizens of the Ger
man race abroad entertain for
their countrymen in the old home,
which corresponds with the friendly re-
lations existing between Germany and
America. l am commanded by the en-
peror to thank most warmly, in the name
of the sufferers, your committee, which has
already achieved such happy results, and
l beg you to convey to the committee this
expression of gratitude. The distribution
funds collected was to me a subject of
solicitous care and I asked for and re-
ceived for this purpose the assistance of
the committee of deputies in the reich
stag representing the distressed districts.
Bismarck's pains are less acute, but he
is still confined to his bed.
BERLIN, Feb. "a small packet was sent
to Keyssner, supreme court councillor. On

The North German Gazette says before

BERLIN, Feb. g. Bismarck doubts that
he will be able to attend the reichstag this

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Prince Jerome was sent

tempt to overthrow the existing regime.
The senate elected committee on the ex-

The only member favorable to the bill is
Testelin. The opponents represent 145
votes. It is calculated that no senator's
will support the bill. Leon Say is par
ticularly warm opponent of the measures.
He eloquently opposed the bill in a meet

the army does not like the expulsion bill.
An intimation to this effect has been con-

The want of the people seems to be as great

tunate island. The clergy have done all in
their power to alleviate the distress, but
their scant means are already exhausted.
The government is laggard in sending re-
lief-so laggard, indeed, as to arouse the
suspicion that there is lack of sympathy
with the sufferings of the people. Prompt
and thorough measures of relief would do
more to pacify the country than all the re-
pressive laws in the world. A hungry man
can never be brought to regard the rights
of those he blames for his condition; man
with full stomach is generally good ma

There are many glorious memories con-

to be wiped out is the present tariff. An
other important question is civil
service reform. The men who had been
engaged in building up the tariff and in
creating the present system of ''bossism,"
could not be expected to tear them down.
Hence the necessity of sending new blood

The bill to divide the territory Of Da-
kota and create new territory, to be
known as North Dakota, out of the north
ern portion, has good many friends in
the house, as was developed yesterday,
when it failed by only few votes of hav-
ing the two-thirds necessary to secure its
passage under suspension of the rules.
When it comes up in its regular order-if
the house ever progresses so far as to reach
that order-it will undoubtedly pass by a
large majority, as the opposition to it is
not in any way partisan. The division of
the territory will be gratifying at least to
residents of the northern portion.

mons, but they might also establish hui
man sacrifice as a domestic institution and
claim like federation for it. The states
have always regulated such domestic
concerns by depriving of the elective fran
chise all those convicted of crime. Poly
gamy is universally regarded as crime in
all civilized countries, and as congress has
invariably assumed jurisdiction over the
territories, whether it had legal right to
do so or not, we see no reason why it
should not legIslate against that crime just
as the state legislatures enact laws govern
ing the people of the states. This is, we
believe, the first time the right of congress
to govern the territories has been ques-
toned. In 1866, when the southern
states lately in rebellion were asking for
admission to representation in congress it
was denied them on the ground that they
had forfeited their statehood, and were
placed by their act of rebellion in the con-
dition of territories. This the Democrats
generally denied, but they did not ques-
ton the right of congress to legislato as it
did regarding them provided the claim of
forfeiture of statehood was valid.
There is scarcely session of
congress that does not exer-
else unquestioned the ri ght of
legislating for the territories by passing
acts that would be entirely unnecessary
and manifestly unconstitutional if they
related to any of the states.
We regard the claim of Judge Black
that congress has no more right to legis-
late for the territories than for the states
as entirely untenable. If that right is not
expressly given by the constitution, usage
has sanctioned it. 1t is certainly very
proper right, for unless it existed the
worst forms of corruption and crime
might be legalized in the territories and
become so thoroughly imbedded in the
customs of the people that they could not
be eradicated when the communities came
to be admitted into the sisterhood of states.
We believe in the right of congress to
stamp out polygamy by appropriate leg
islation, inficting pains and penalties no
matter how severe, for the system is one

history of the century. Those who protest
so loudly against the right of congress to
legislate on this subject remind one of the
man who applied for legal advice to an at
torney on behalf of a friend, who had been
thrown into prison. Said the lawyer:
''They have no right to throw
your friend into jail" "But he's there"
was the expressive reply. So
congress may not have technical right to
legislate against polygamy, but it has done
it, and what are the Mormons going to
do about it? Will they submit to the laws,
sanctioned by usage ever since the estab
ishment of the government and approved
by all the people save themselves, or will
they rebel against the authority of the
government and thus work out their own
destruction? If they choose the latter al
tentative it is as sure as fate that polyga-
nay will be wiped out so effectually that no
one will be found so bold as to utter
word in its defense, and the Mormon
church will 90 with it.

HiIEaukee d. st. Paul Extensions.
T0pecial Telegram to the Globe.


MILWAUKEE,, Feb. 5.-The information
has been given out by some of the officials
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company has fully decided upon the build
ing of line in Dakota west from Aber-
deem to the Missouri river. The matter
has been talked OF since the road was COM
plsted to Aberdeen, but had not been de-
cidsd upon definitely until recently. The
company was brought to decision by the
movements of the Northern Pacific COM
pany, which has surveyed a line directly
through tho part of Dakota claimed by the
st. Paul company. The line surveyed
by the Northern Pacific commences at a
point near Moorhead, runs southwesterly
to Aberdeen and from thence west to the
Missouri river. The name of the new line
will be the Wadena, Fergus Falls & Black
Hills railway. 1t is not known when the
Northern Pacific company intends to be- g.
gin work on the extension, but the st.
Paul company will give it no opportunity
to take the lead, but will begin work west
of Aberdeen as soon as thea weather will
permit in the spring. 1t is along this pro-
posed line that the st. Paul company is To-

CHICAGO'S WATER.
Liable to be Cut OFF by an Ice Gorge at
the Crib.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.1

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The crib is a source
of anxiety to-day. The mouth of the river
is blocked up by a mass of ice packed solid
eighteen feet deep, and no tug can get out
of the stream in order to make a trip to
the crib, the source of the Chicago water
supply. There are but four men now at
the crib, and they are greatly overtaxed
by the labor necessary to keep the we'll
hole, whore the water enters the tznRsl for
the city, free from ice. They have sufi-
cient provisions to last them a few days
longer, but are troubled to know when
they will receive more. They will also be
in sore need of additional help if the
present weather lasts long. There is tels-
phonic communication between the city
and the crib, so that the workmsn
at that isolated spot can readily
make known their condition and needs.
Commissioner of Public Works Cregisr has
postponed his Eastern trip until the present
crisis in regard to the water works shall
have passed. He has made arrangements
to 60 to the crib on the ice If it should
become necessary. A boat has been rugged
up on runners, SO that in case the ice gives
way. or is not continuous, the daring ex-
cursionists will have chance for their
lives. In case of direst extremity, one
of the ice breaking steamers which
ply regularly during the winter between
Milwaukee and Grand Haven, will be pro-
cared to carry aid to the prisoners at the
crib. But Mr.. Cregier does not anticipate
such desperate state of affairs, nor does
he consider the crib, or the water supply,
in danger, though the water ran rather
short yesterday, owing to the accumulation
of ice at the crib. He says the workmsn
at the crib are by no means exhausted,
and that the condition of affairs is not SO
serious as TO cause alarm.

THE 4yrr-PoLHGAarT LEGISLATION

THE 4NIT-P OLYGAnY LEGISLATION
The question of the right of congress to
prohibit the practice of polygamy in the
territories is again being brought forward
through the arguments of Judge Jere
Black before the house Judiciary commit
tee on behalf of the Mormon cause. No
one doubts Judge Blacks erudition or pre-
sumes to question his superiority as a
constitutional lawyer, yet we fear that his
zeal on behalf of his clients has carried
him little too far in his interpretations
of constitutional law. In his arguments
on Saturday last, he claimed that the anti
Mormon legislation related to matters that
were in their nature more purely domestic,
private and local than any other to which
human legislation applies; that the Nor
mons h ave Alright to make their own laws
on the subject; that their right belongs to
nature and is a great principle of univer-
sal law; that congress has no more power
to legislate on such subjects in the terri
tories than in the states.
Theoretically, Judge Black has made a
strong argument, yet when examined
closely by the practical eyeit will be found
exceedingly vulnerable. He is right in
claiming that the theory of our govern
ment contemplates the widest liberty
of tie people to govern their own
domestic affairs, but this liberty does not
simply license. Polygamy may be regard
as domestic institution by the Nor

SEN4TOE S4BTN;S WELCOME.

If last Thursday was proud day for
Hon. D. M. Sabin, yesterday was a still
prouder one. The welcome which he re-
ceived at his home, the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of his friends and neighbors, the
hearty words of commentator from the

all conspired to make an occasion of which
any man might well be proud. Those who

from the absurd falshoods of malicious

not but be undeceived by such demon
stration as that of yesterday. 1t is only

Mr.. Sabin's response to the welcome ex-

demonstrated that the Legislature
has made no mistake in its choice. To
succeed Mr.. Window with Mr.. Sabin is to
place the public interests in charge of a
faithful guardian, WI ere they were wholly
unprotected before.
