George Logan don't like rats, and as the
livery stable is oyerrun with them, George
determined to have lots of fun, and at the
same time exterminate the rodents. He laid
awake four nights, putting up Job on the
vArmints, and the brilliant idea flashed across
his mind that he could shoot them with an air
gun. Next day he borrowed an air gun, and
invested nickle in Limburger. After eau
tioning everybody about the stable to keep
quiet, and giving the horses lot of straw In
their stalls to deaden their stamping, he
scattered bits Of cheese about, and, with gun
In hand, took q seat to watch for rats. After
q long and tedious watch Of something like
twenty seconds, George fell asleep, and whel
he awoke there was no cheese to be found ,an6
the rats were making vigorous efforts to car

with brick hereafter-if he can keep awak,
long enough.

-4RTHUR IN THE FIELD.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun writes:
President Arthur will be candidate for the
Republican nomination. He has changed his
views and modified his plans on that subject
radically. Perhaps the revival of the quarrel
between Tammany and other Democratic fac
tons may have precipitated decision to which
Gen. Arthur's mind has lately inclined. He
follows in the footsteps of Tyler, of Fillmore
and of johnson, all of whom had an honorable
ambition to succeed themselves, which the
people Obstinately declined to crafty.
All events point in the same direction.
The president in using the public patron
age with craft and ingenuity to build up
an Arthur party. His appointment of
Gresham and Evans, his corrnpt alliance
with Malone, the Baltimore collectorship
dismissal, his encouragement to Fred
Douglas regarding Ethe National Conven-
ton of colored men, and many other sim1-
lar acts have but one meaning. Blinded
by an unwholesome ambition Arthur ia
incapable of perceiving that the most
he can accomplish will be to factionalize
and defeat his own party. The President
lacks the acumen to see that he is beino
misled by the hollow and mercenary iudg-
ments and delusive tales that are poured
into his ears by men of the stamp of the
secretary of war during the fraudulent
term of Hayes. Dazzled by the height
he has reached he gives no thought to the
historical obstacles in his path. Taking
his chances upon the adherence of the old
Republicans, he ignores them and seeks
out new friends and attaches
them to his standard. But every
time he gains a fresh personal
adherent he drives off score of better men
and tramples them beneath the feet of his
power. Whatever success he may have
had as practical politician" in the wards
of New York city, he is a pretty small pat
tern to be spread over the whole United
States. He will find good many obstin-
ate people as he pushes his broom along,
and if he is capable OF learning anything
he will ascertain some day the
egregious folly of alternating old and true
friends to lean upon the hollow pretenses
of fresh allies attracted only by the pros
poets of spoils. The Arthur boom adds
immensely to prospects of complete Re-
D.. .3Lican defeat.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, May 26.-The expectation of
the bulls was not realized to-day. It was
day of dullness. st. Paul suffered heavi-
ly in the morning but rallied somewhat be-
fore noon. With the exception of little
activity in Delaware & Lackawanna, the
early part of the day on the 'change was
about the dullest of the week. Prices sold
off at the opening, Northwest touching
$1.2938, st. Paul $1.11B, Oregon 818 and
Western Union 80. There was hardly
quotation of the Omahas and very few in
the Northern Pacifcs. Manitoba recov-
cred from yesterdays depression and at
one time touched $1.21. Rallies
from the lowest points occurred dur
ing the afternoon sufficient to carry
prices as general thing above last even
ing's. There was considerable strength in
Texas Pacific and Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy sold at
ia. The shorts covered a good many
stocks in the last hour. A continuance of
seasonable weather throughout the west
may result in more activity next week.
The coal stocks look well. Money remains
easy. The feeling at the finish was rather
IL favor of better prices. 1t is stated
at the treasury that there will be
no further call for government bonds dur
ing the present fiscal year. The story that
the st. Paul company contemplate the is
sue Of some millions of new stock, was re-
vived to-day. The fact seems to be that
at the last session of the Wisconsin Iegis-
lature, the st. Paul company was empow-
cred to issue certain amount of stock. to
represent old roads bought and new ones
built. These additions being in the shape
of shreds and patches of lines scattered
about here and there, it was thought bet
ter to stock them than to bond them, and
hence has arisen the report that the COM
pany contempletes the issue of some five
to ten million of new shares.
1t is fair to say that officers
and insiders of the company discIaim all
knowledge of such intention. Gould is
said to be the controlling spirit in Lacka-
wanna. In the face of this report comes a
statement credited to W. S. Gurnee, that
Gould tells him he is great bull on the
country and its prospects, but is doing
nothing IN Wall street and proposes to
never again take any active part in specu-
lation. If he did he should buy 100000
shares now and believes there will be a
rise of 40 per cent. before there is de-
cline of 5. Mr.. Gould adds that the
Wabash road will probably be able to pay
its fixed charges from this years earnings,
and the Kansas & Texas will earn divi-
dend. He says great deal of the latter
is going to Amsterdam.

THE embryo secretary of the chamber
of commerce seems inclined to carefully
conceal the fact that an annual election
is about to take place. Though not re-
quested to do so, the GLOBE takes the
liberty of announcing that the annual
election of directors is set down for this
forenoon from 8 to II. So late an an
nouncement is not likely to call out much
of vote, and it might be we'll for the

morning, to order the election postponed

NEW York, May 26.-It is estimated that
about 10000 people crossed over to-day
before night-fall. In round numbers per-
haps 100000 people passed over the bridge
in the twenty-four hours In the after
noon the number of people entering was
about the same at both ends. At 3 o'clock
reporters counted the people who
passed through the arches of the
New York tower in fifteen
minutes 1888 people passed through the
southr arch going east and 1922 people
passed through the north arch going west.
This was at the rate of eighty minute
each way, and allowing half an hours time
to cross the bridge, moving at fair pace,
this would show that about 5000 people
were crossing the bridge afoot at that
time.
The reporters watched the wagons that
passed between 3:17 and 1882, in order to
learn their number and character. Fiftv-
two vehicles went east in that time and
hfty-n1ne vehicles passed going toward

Prohibition in Iowa.

The prohibitory amendment to the
State constitution, adopted by popular
vote last June, was declared invalid
by the Supreme Court of Iowa on Thurs
day last, Judge Sewers rendering the
opinion. The case in which the dicis-
ion was rendered is entitled Kohler Il
Lang vs.. Hill, from Davenport, The
plaintiff sued Hill for the value of beer
sold him. Hill admitted the debt but
pleaded that the constitutional amend
ment forbade the sale of beer, wine
and ale, and claimed exemption from
the debt. The plaintiff amended bis
petition by declaring that the amend
ment was not in force, that the record
of the House of the Eighteenth Assem-
bly, failed to show that it had passed,
and that the House measure differC d
from the amendment, as passed by the
Senate, in form and substance; and
further, that the subsequent action in
the Nineteenth Assembly did not. and
could not, cure the carelessness of the
Eighteenth Assembly.
The cause was tried by Judge Hayes,
at Davenport, who gave a verdict for
the plaintiff for the amount claimed,
and declared the amendment not in
operation.
The opinion rendered by Judge Sewers
is very long, and reviews fully the
case and all the authorities bearing
thereon. Many collateral issues were
raised in the lower court, but have
been dropped as immaterial. Judge
Sewers says: "that while it is true
that enrolled bills are landmarks of ev-
idence, yet inasmuch as the Iowa con-
stitution does not require amend
ments to the constitution to be enroll
ed as laws, legislative journals in this
State are equally competent as evil
dence as to the onstitutionality of
provisions as enrolled bills. In the
case at bar the journal of the House of
theEighteenth Assembly does not
show that the amendment was passed,
and also that it varied in form and SUBJ
stance from the measure in the Senate.
This being the case, the next Legisla-
ture could not correct the mistake of
its predecessor, and the amendment
falls"
The dissent of Judge Beck is longer
than the opinion. He takes the oppo-
site ground to the view above, and
says, in addition that inasmuch as the
people had elected the members of the
Nineteenth Assembly on the issue of
of the amendment, they themselves
had cured the Irregularities of the
Eighteenth Assembly. Judge Beck
also declares that the much mooted
short publication of the Oskaloosa pa
per to have been substantial com.
pliance with the law.
The case was heard by an audience
that filled the Senate Chamber nearly
full.
