that the switch at the Junction was not
properly closed, causing the engine to run
off the track, badly tearing things up gen.
orally. A side track had to be laid around
the derailed engine in order that trains
could pass by, and the Frisco passenger
from Halstead was obliged TO return TO Hal
stead and go up around by Newton thence
on down TO this city. Fortunately no one
was hurt. and the greatest damage done was
delaying trains for several hours. The pas

four hours late.

The victory Of Mrs. Dwight over
number of New York life in
surance companies IVES honestly
won. If life insurance companies
would get into the habit OF paying
their claims like men, instead Of
fighting the payment on petty legal
bubbles, there would be good
dea! more business for them in this
country. The course Of tae com
panies has resulted in growing
distrust of their honesty, and it
will soon reach that pass when life
insuring will cease altogether. At
present the big insurance houses
seem only run in the interest of a
few fat, incompetent and rascally
directors, who never pay out dol
lar if they can avoid it.

THE pREsIDEy rs MESSAGE.

President Arthur's lsst message To Con-
gress, is like his former ones, plain busi
ness like document. There is no al
tempt at bombast OF word point
ing and it is to be con-
mended on that account. The presidents
messages, In time of tranquility, are not i'm
portant documents, and really attract but
little attention from congress or the people
at large. They are accepted as an annual
matter Of course and relegated to his tory the
next Gay after publication.
The President makes one point which
should receive more consideration than is
generally given to his suggestions-and that
is the importance OF some change in the
manner of electiug our Presidents. The
country passed through a serious crisis in
1876, and again last month. The fact that
these perils were averted without serious re-
snlts, is bright chapter in our ability for self
government as a nation, but it was strain
which may not always be endured. The
warnings Of the past should cause the erec-
ton of safe guards for the future.
The assurance thst the President and Cab
met have been zealously endeayoring to pro-
mote civil service reform is undoubtedly in
tended as a suggestion to the incoming pres
ident, and with desire to speak good word
in behalf of the present official incumben

A CHURCH IMBROGLIO.
A Tempest Over the Alleged Military
Career of a St Paul Clergyman.

The GLoBE received, some weeks since, q
pamphlet issued by G. Sidney Smith, OF this
city, making serious charges against Rev.
R. r. Riddell, pastor of the First Baptist
church Of this city The GLOBE, regarding
the matter In The light Of q family quarrel
declined to become a participant, but the
church having held an official meeting last
evening and forwarded its exculpatory reso-
lutions for publication. it is appropriate to
note charges.
Mr. Riid~ll has been heralded as great
military hero and has assumed FAR greater
credit for services in the late war OF the re-
belliou than Mr. Smith thinks he Is entitled
to. Mr.. Smith presents the following con-
elusions which in brief deny the elaims put
forth in behalf OF Mr.. Rddel.
J.. That Mr. Riddell was not Lieutenaat Col
onel BY brevet st the close Of he var
2 That be was neither Major nor Captain in
the army.
3. That Mr.. Riddell was paid IS = commIs-
stoned officer during bu; four months Of the war,
aud then only a. Second Lieutenant
8. Thai he was not On Gen. HancOek's stad.
). That he was not the body servant OF Gen.
Ewen. With this falls the entire narrative Of
The Adventures Of Union spy. As related by
Mr.. Riddell.
8. That he never ''took 4 course in medicine" :"
or ''entered on its practice"
Il Is due Mr. Smith 70 say that his pamph-
let 5 ems 10 substantiate his conclusions.
tbough until called upon by the church TO
give Mr. Riddel's defense the GLOBE had
not cared 10 alluie to the matter.

cisms will be liberal, broad guage and to the

Minnesota has long needed an honest Re-
publican newspaper, and the GLOBE vel
comes the new proprietors of the MinDeapo-
lis Tribune to that unoccupied field.
They show evidence that they know
how to make newspaper and
the reputation they bring, lead us to believe
that they viii be honest politically. The
GLOBE welcomes them 20 the field Of Mime
sofa journalism, aud while differing poliu-
cally, welcomes them all the more cordially,
in the belief that they will prove gentlemanly
and truthful opponents-qualifcatiOus not

The Tax Paying Era Begun.

The comfy auditor having delivered the
tax books for 1884 into the custody of Coun-
ty Treasurer Burton that gentleman put in
the postofice over 1000 personal tax notices
yesterday, this being an increase OF
fully one-third over the list number of 1888.
The tax books are very neatly and con-
veniently bound and written this year,
and contain nearly $4,000 descrip-
tions of real estate. The whole
amount of tax assessed for 1884
both real aud personal is 81, $50, 299.43 and
yesterday, the first day for payment, the
county treasurer received $1,000 thereof,
which was considered a very fair begin
ming. The first citizen taking his
recei Jt was Aaron Olson, who was the elev-
enth person who stepped up to the captains
Office last December aud settled his 1888
taxes. OF the others who paid yesterday
were Samuel Dearlng, r. c. Wyie and j. NJ.
Warner. Six months are given TO pay real
estate and three months personal taxes with
ont penalty.
