CHANGE OF FIRM.
w. FL. Cashier Successor to Knight
q Cashier.

& Cashier.
The firm formerly known as Knight &
Cashier, architects, of $50 Jackson street,
have recently dissolved by mutual consent,
Mr.. W. H. Cashier continuing the business
of the firm at their old location.
Mr. Cashier came to st. Paul about three
years ago, and has become since then well
known in his profession as he was while in
Chicago, where he executed a number of
commissions for the Farwells and other
prominent capitalists of that city.
Having recently been permitted to inspect
a number of his plans, which embrace a
large variety of both public and private build
ings, careful scrutiny of them reveals the
fact that the gentleman is no novice in the
art which he processes. Particularly fine
were draughts of the st. Paul chamber of
commerce building, and the capitol at Bis
marck, which latter was vastly superior to
that architectural abortion which ~sHonest
John's' especial favorite has perpetrated
upon the unfortunate state of Minnesota.
Mr.. Cashier has most complete knowl-
edge of the art of interior decoration, as well
as that of outward architecture, and gives
evidence in his work of a superior genius.
People of st. Paul and other cities who may
desire to consult him will be amply rewarded
for their time in inspecting his plans, and
should they decide to entrust him with their
commissions they can place implicit reliance
upon his ability, experience and integrity.

A few days ago the GLOBE published a re-
port of a meeting in New York to raise
funds for a home for ex-confederate soldiers
in Richmond, Virginia. The loyal soldiers
have pensions and soldiers homes provi ed
at government expense; but the eX-conled-
ates have no provisions for their aid. With
a commendable liberality there is a move-
ment now in progress among northern men,
and union soldiers to aid their defeated
brethren. In this city, Capt Burger, state
arsenal keeper, who might literally be said
to have been ''shot to pieces' in defending
the flag, opened the bail by calling at the
GLOBE Office yesterday and depositing a con-
tribution of. SO to aid the home at Rich
mond. As the movement is likely to as
sumo considerable proportions the GLOBE
handed Capt. Burgers contribution to Gen.
X. w. Johnson, who has kindly consented
to act as treasurer of the fund and forward it
to its proper destination Parties wishing
to contribute can forward their funds to Gen.
Johnson, Mannheimer block, corner Third
and Minnesota stress.

THE Dispatch announces ''by authority"
that W. r. Merriam declines to be candi-
date forthe Republican nomination for con-
gress in this district This leaves the con-
test substantially narrowed down to Albert
Scheffer and Loren Fletcher There is no
shadow of doubt that Mr.. Scheffer is the bet
ter man Of tho two for the position
and in a fair fight his nomination
would be sure. The ledgerdemain resorted
to by Mr.. Fletcher in having his packed COM
mittee take snap judgment in calling the
convention, shows that Mr.. Fletcher fears
fair contest and proposes to win by resorting
to ''ways that are dark" With which he is
eminently familiar.

and comparatively few in the country care to pay
extra for the Sunday edition, which lies in the
st. Paul postofice and goes ont in the same mail
with the Monday paper. The more important

therefore, published on Monday for the benefit

MR.. RICE AS A MAN.

Any individual who can go from the ex-
IRENE frontier of our country, leav
ing savage surroundings and enter
directly into the senate of the United States,
and command the respect and even admira-
ton of men of culture and of letters, and
who, then, can return from the capital of the
nation and command the confidence and re-
spect of our Indian tribes, as Mr.. Rice could
and can, and did do, is a somewhat remark
able character, to say nothing of the mental
qualities which permitted him to cope with
the best men of the nation. Tall and slender,
with fine head upon his shoulders, and
commanding presence, Mr.. Rice wins friends
by his exceedingly courteous manner. He
has staggering motion when he walks; is
dignified, pleasing, cautious somewhat re-
firing in his nature; a fine conyersationalist;
adverse to publicity; lover Of home, and
an honorable, upright, manly citizen. He
partakes largely of the affability accorded to
his contemporary, Gov. Ramsey, but is more
polished in his manner of showing it. 1t
would be difficult to find two men so well
adapted to public life, as II. NJ. Rice and
Alexander Ramsey, and, especially so, as
men who have won public regard by their
hearty greetings and politeness. Mr.. Rice
ranks among the most notable and ablest
men of the northwest, and his own acts be-
speak his best praise. History will write his
name high up ON the scroll of honor, and
Minnesota can never afford to forget either
him, or his worthy deeds.

AT THE DEPARTMENTS.

No man had greater power with all the de
partments at Washington, than had Mr.. Rice.
Everywhere he was received with great con-
sideration, and during his official posi-
ton he accomplished wonderful results
for the good OF our city and our state. His
tory is history; facts are facts; right is right.
Very few men in Washington were more
highly respected or more courteousy received
by men of al parties before the war, than

In the winter of 1860 and 1861, we
spent several weeks in Washington,
just at the time when the feeling between the
two sections of the county was at its highest;
when southern members of Congress were
seething with rage; when civil war was i'm
minent; when northern men were trying to
prevent Gisunion; when the guns of the
south were turned on Fort Sumpter; when
Wigfall, and Slidell, and Mason, and other
Southern members were threatening to leave
the Congress of the United States; when the
whole of Washington society was heaving with
excitement; when 10. Lane had Just deliver
ed his speech in favor Of the south, and An
drew Johnson had been announced to reply
to him, when both houses were crowded
with anxious and excited spectators, waitin g
for Johnson's speech; when, just ut this
time, we strolled into the Senate chamber
and took our seat in the gallery. Johnson
was speaking in defense of the Union, and
at the close OF his speech,
ments, and OF course TIE gal
leries were cleared. Partaking of the excite
ment of the moment, we rushed down stairs
and sent our card to Morton S. Wilkinson,
our Republican senator, whom we had mater
was too busy with great national affairs to
give US any attention, so we skipped around
to the other door, and sent our compliments
to Mr.. Rice, our Democratic senator, who i'm
mediately appeared, and invited us into the
| cloak room of the senate. but the rules,
Mr.. Rice,'' said the doorkeeper. ''D--n
the rules said Mr.. Rice: ''Pl be respon-
sible," and in minute more we stood in
| the presence of Andrew Johnson, Stephen
| A. Douglas and 10 Lane. This is little
thing of itself, but it only shows the character
of the man.
THE STOLEN GOVERNMENT INDIAN BONDS.
| 1t will be remembered by our
readers, that in 1861, just before
the outbreak of the rebellion,
| $S72, 200 of certain bonds held by the gov
eminent in trust for the Indian tribes, had
been distracted from the safe of the secretary
of the interior, and at the time of the dis
covery, intense excitement followed. 1t
seems that clerk by the name Of Bailey,
under Thompson, transferred to man by
the name of RUSSELL as security only, these
bonds, but Russell sold them, and Bailey
| then made confident Of Hon. II. NJ. Rice.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-04-14

and asked him to pass over to Mr.. Thomp-
son, secretary OF the interior, under whom
Bailey acted, the acceptance of the secretary
OF war, Floyd, of the amount Of these bonds,
and also the receipt of Russell, Majors and
Waddell, for the same, Bailey alleging that
he had placed his confession as to the dis
position of these bonds, in the hands OF
friend. With the permission Of Bailey, Mr..
Rice laid there documents before the presl-
dent of the United States, James Buchanan,
who, on discovering the theft, remarked
'sWeli, Mr.. Rice, secession is bad enough, but
this is worse.'' Mr.. Rice was the
first person who discovered the
fraudulent abstraction of these bonds, and
Thompson, fearing that other bonds to the
amount of 50, 100000 had been also stolen,
Mr. Rice, with Bailey and others, examined
the archives in the interior department, but
found them all safe. \ committee OF the
house was appointed to investigate the mat
ter, who, in concluding their report, say;
''Your committee were satisfied that Mr..
Rice labored with energy and zeal to aid the
government, and is entitled to the thanks OF
the house, and the country"
MINNESOTA ROW.
A brick row of three houses situated on
pleasant street in Washington, was designat-
ed as Minnesota Row." having been erect
ed jointly, by Messrs. Rice, Douglas and
Breckenridge. Mr.. Douglas lived in one OF
the end houses, and Mr.. Rice in the middle
When the war broke out the row was appro-
priated by the government as hospital;
subsequently one OF the houses was
purchased by General Grant, and another
by General Sherman. 1t was here that Mr.
Rice showed his greatest power; here he re.
ceived all classes of people, OF
all parties, dispensed generous hospitality
and treated them kindly; here he sought to
conciliate conflicting political views; and
here he quietly yet earnestly labored for the
preservation OF the Union.

A
Mr.. Rice had made his headquarters for
some time at Mendoza, when, in the winter
of 1913, and the spring of 1S49, he COM
menced erecting hotels, warehouses, etc., in
st. Paul, and in June of the latter year, he
and his family embarked in a canoe and
floated down to this city, where he made it
his home and where he has resided ever
since.
