His friends are quite bullish and predict
higher figures for them. Certainly enough
damaging reports have been
circulated of late regarding the stocks to
warrant the belief that they are about at
the bottom. An advance in Rock Island
to 122 and much strength in tie Wander
bits was sufficient to make quite a firm
market throughout before the morning
passed, though at times it became very
dull. Omaha preferred was scarce again
and advanced to 10838. Northwestern was
very active during the afternoon on large
buying by Vanderbilt broker. The earn
ings of the Missouri Pacific system con-
tinued to show gains, the third week in
February amounting to $4,000. Wabash
for the same time increased $4,000 and
Louisville and Nashville from July to
February 1 $1,157,000. The feeling at TIE
end was in favor of further Improvements

covered yet to any great extent. None y

THE GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS.
The appointment of Col. W. S. King as
suryeyor-general of logs and lumber, made
by Gov. Hubbard yesterday, was a good
one and highly appropriate. Mr.. King
has done much to develop the State, and
when anything OF public interest is to be
done. his own interests are set entirely
aside. Having Iabored for others the
greater portion of his life, it is only fail
that he should now have some recognition
for himself.
The reappointment of A. R. McGill as
insurance commissioner, was creditable tc
the governor. Mr. McGilI has made an
excellent officer. In fact he has made the
Office all that it is in Minnesota, and by his
intelligent management has relieved the
State from wild cat insurance. He is
recognized in insurance circles in the east
as one of the best commissioners in the
country.
After the covert attack of the Pioneer
Press yesterday morning upon the Office OF
inspector of oils it became settled thai
Capt. H. A. Castle of the Dispatch, would
be the appo1ntee. He was promptly con
frmed and now enjoys the fattest office il
the state.
The other selections are chiefly reap
appointments and will give, in the main.
satisfaction to the public.

to suit them or else drugged to death. On
the part of the senate Messrs. Morrill,
Sherman, Aldrich, Bayard and Beck are
appointed, and on the part of the house
Messrs. Kelly, Mckinley, Haskell, Ran
dali and Carlisle. Morrill,, Aldrich, Bay
ard, Kelly, Mckinley and Randall are
high protectionists, while the remainder
of the members have some special inter
ests they are looking after. Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Kentucky have each two repre-
sentatives on the committee. While Beck
and Carlisle are nominally free traders,
they will see to it that southern interests
are cared for in whatever measure may be
agreed upon. The committee is completely
in the hands of the protectionists, and
will be used to further their schemes of
robbery.
1t is very evident that the country need
hope for no reduction of taxation from
the present congress. A great pretense
has been made of desire to lessen the
burdens of the people, but the shallowness
and insincerity of this pretense has been
repeatedly shown. The representatives of
the people have proved false to their trust
where faithfulness was most required, and
It is well that majority of then have
been repudiated so emphatically by their
constituents.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 27.-Col. Thos.
Reynolds was arrested for forging pension
certificates, the government attached all
of his property to secure the losses
incurred by the alleged forgeries

been that the colonel was made to collect
any rents or get hold any money whatever,

petition to the attorney general is now
in circulation, asking that official to re-
lease the colonel's property, except so
much as is actually necessary to protect
the government from the loss of the S., 400.
The petition is virtually confession
of guilt, and is so understood by
everybody, his attorneys making no
pretense to the contrary. 1t relates Col.
Reynolds brilliant career in the army.

Col. VIM. F. Villas, who has personally

legislature, the entire Wisconsin delega-
ton in congress, and large number of
prominent citizens of the state and business
men in the city, have subscribed to the pa
per. 1t is generally understood that it is
a preliminary step to proceedings that will
eventuate in a complete pardon for Col
Reynolds. His chief adviser, Col. Villas,
declares that he will spend every cent of
his fortune, if necessary, to prevent his
client from going to prison. Gov. Rusk
and old veterns here are also keen in their
sympathies for Reynolds and DESTROYS of
shielding him so far as lies in their power,
for the ex-pension agent was one of the
most gallant of Wisconsin's warriors in
the late rebellion, and had a leg shattered
on Southern battle field.

THE TARIFF HUMBUG.

The senate tax and tariff bill has
already gone to conference COM
mittee. where some sort of measure ac-
ceptable to the iron and steel and the sugar
interests will be patched up hurriedly, re-
ported to the two houses and passed. The
Republicans of the house yesterday, obedi-
ent to the crack of the party whip, came
forward and voted in favor of amending
the rules so as to vote in favor of non-con-
curing in the senate bill and referring it
to a committee of conference without
voting upon the bill as whole or upon any
of its provislons-a proceeding wholly I'M
precedented in the history of any legisla-
tive body, and taken in the interest of the
monopolies likely to be affected by the bill.
The senate bill as passed by that body is
much preferable to the house bill as far as
it was completed. 1t reduces the taxes to
the extent of nearly fifty millions of dol
lars, and is not as distinctively protec-
tive measure as the house bill. The tariff
on iron especially is reduced, though not
to as great an extent as the people desire,
and for this reason it is obnoxious to such
men as Kelly, Randall, and their eastern
associates. 1t also removes the taxes from
other articles of manufacture, the produ-
GERS of which desire continued protection,
and all influences have combined to defeat
it. The most expeditions means OF Sc
curing this end is to place it in the hands
of committee of the friends of protec-
tion, who will restore the old rates or per-
haps increase them. In its amended form
it will be submitted to the two houses
without an opportunity to change it in any
essential particular, and perhaps be
strangled. If passed it will afford
little or no relief to the taxpayers, while it
will still enable the manufacturers to con-
tinue the robbery of consumers ad Hbitunu.
Whether it passes or not no relief need be
expected from it, while in measure pre-
pared hurr edly as this must be, we NAV
safely l'JA for gross errors and inaccura-
CT til will cause no end of trouble.

SENATOR DAVIS yesterday announced to
the senate that he would, at noon on the
Sd of March, resign the Office of president
pro tempore of the senate. This will en-
able that body to choose a successor before
adjournment, who, in the event of the
death of President Arthur, would become
acting president of the United States. 1t
seems likely that the choice will fall upon
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, man
against whom there are, perhaps, as few
objections as against any man in his
party. This action on the part of Judge
Davis removes all necessity for an extra
session of the new senate.

Col. King favors US with a second epistle
this morning. Like all of Mr.. Kings let
tiers it is interesting reading, but it gives the
distinguished rascaIs of the Pioneer Press
altogether too much credit. 1t makes
them out more virtuous than they claim to
be themselves. To assume that the precious
pair of harpies who conduct the P. P. would
sacrifice dollar for st. Paul, as against
Minneapolis, is almost as absurd conceit
as Col. King could have devised. That
paper is most VIGOROUSLY treacherous to
st. Paul in order to secure advertising and
subscribers at Minneapolis. The idea that
they would sacrifice $4,000 to display
loyalty to st. PAU is the hugest joke Col.
King ever attempted. It is immensely
funny and will provoke the
risibles of every reader.
The more the Colonel writes the worse
the plight Of the professional blackmaiI-
ers. He had better give up the job. They
are incorrigible and entitled to no consid-
Grafton. The GLOBE once attempted to
imagine they were civilized beings, but il
was too big a stretch. The Colonel cannot
save them from their merited infamy by
specious argument. It is impossible to
make a silk purse out of sow's ear.

matter was all cut and dried. He called
attention to the fact that the names of the
committee had been in the presidents
hands for some time, and named the sena-
tors in open senate, prior to their being
named from the chair. 1t was not a very
courteous thing to do, but it shows the
public how their interests are being be-

The substitute for Senator Rice's bill
relating to liquor licenses is in the main
good measure, and should be passed by
the legislature. The chief objection is
that the limit of the license fee is too low.
If amended so as to forbid the granting OF
a license for less sum than three hundred
dollars, it would have the effect of killing
off the low doggeries that are curse to
all communities, and tend largely towards
decreasing the consumption of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS.
