Colonel Towner, who was member of
the last legislature and is now mentioned
as the head and front Of McHenry
county legislative deal, says:
The McHenry county affair is of but
little consequence compared to scheme
now on foot to remove the capital to
south Dakota, where it belongs, and
where it would have gone two years ago
bat tor the grossest manner of fraud.
Colonel Towner possessed superior
advantages for an inside view of the
deal, as he was one of the leading spirits
in the movement and did more than any
other man to secure the passage of the
capital commission act. He now elaine
that certain "statemen" connected Will
the removal job didn't "tote fair" ani
intimates that there will be considerabl,
"retributive justice" in the coming ses
sion of the legislature.

It is stated that General Grant is COM
pletely sbroken down physically, and
that a council Of Eve physicians has pre-
scribed perfect rest. The misfortunsu
of the great leader of the union armies
are calculated to enlist the hearty sym
pathies Of the nation. If the congress
OF the United States reflected the wishes
OF its constituency. it would promptly
place General Grant on the retired list
of the army with the rank he once held,
and thus provide for the remaining
years of his life. He earned his high
position by his brilliant achievements at
time when the country would surely
have igone to destruction but for hi
saving hand. It Is humiliating spec
tacle-a congress hesitating to display
common gratitude, in the case of ont
who made possible the continued exist
once of legislative body for all th,
United States.

For register of deeds O. Hameister sue
ceeds Peter Royem and for county clerk
Erick Iverson succeeds the same gentle
man, the two positions having been
separated by the last legislature. Her.
man Ellerman takes charge of the coun-
ty funds as treasurer in place of William
Blatt, L. B. French succeeds E. G. Smith
as district attorney, but under recent
legislative enactment his jurisdiction
does not extend beyond the county of
Yankton. Patrick Brennan remains as
his own successor IN the sheriff's Office,
L. Congle;on succeeds himself as pro.
bate judge, T. s. Dickson as superin-
tendent of schools and E. 81. VanAnt-
werp as county surveyor. E. d. Dunn.
takes the place of John u. Aaseth as
assessor and DR.. Turkopp becomes cero-
nsr instead of DR.. Etter. Ed Edgerton
was elected clerk Of the court by unani-
nous vote, but such election was not
necessary. as he holds the place by ap-
pointment. AS. Dunning, Albert Baade,
Newton Learned and Ole Kjeldseth are
the new justices of the peace and A. l..
Hinman, John Engel, J. P. Falstad and
George Ballensky the new constables.
This completes the Official outfit as
reconstructed for the coming two years.
Yankton county's matters have been
admirably administered for years past
and the highest credit is due to the re.
firing officials for their share in the
work. The newly elected members Of
the county government will doubtless
maintain the excellent reputation ol
their predecessors, as they are all capa.
ble and reliable gentlemen.

something which will not result in the
retention of republican officials. Al
Albany, however, a different feeling
prevails, leading democrats asserting
that Cleveland means all he says and

tracted by conflicting emotions and he
soliloquizes: "To go, or not to go

twenty immense blocks of stone. weighing

New York.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 25.-To-day was a
fitting close of an exceedingly dull week,
with no immediate prospect of betterment.
The war among the Changers has depresS-
ing effect and the attitude of the Northwest
ern has added to the prevailing weakness.
Hon. w. l.. Scott of Erie, Pa, said, on
leaving for home last night, that he believed
all stocks would be lower this year than
since 1878, and added that he believed the
winter wheat yield would not be more than
one-fOurth of crop. The Gould party is
still bulliSh but not strong, and White ex-
poets to lift Lackawanna the first Of the
week. Vanderbilt will start for Europe
May %.
The market opened steady, although Il
as lower The only exception to this
was Jersey Central which opened Is higher.
During the entire forenoon the market was
both lifeleSs and featureless. Quotations
came struggling along and at half-hoir in
tervals. which varied from each other by
Is, first one, then another.
TIE PREVAILING TENDENCY,
however, was in the direction of lower
figures. until batch of fresh war reports
about noon started the sluggish movement
upward. 1t seems very strange to an out
slider that the stock exchange will allow a
little knot Of men to block the wheels
Of business for the entire membership,
merely to crafty little personal pride or
revenge. If there are no rules against such
state of things, and none can be made,
then the exchange might as well be closed till
the time comes when the private views of
these few men can be carried. The present
condition of the stock market is an ac-
lnowlgeded disgrace to the exchange and to
the whole country. About half dozen
men stand like dogs in the manger, being
unable themselves to move prices upward,
and allowing no one else to put them down.
THE EARNINGS
of Northwestern for the third week in April
increased 24.200, and those of Canadian
Pacific for the same time increased S9S, 900.
Northern Pacific earnings for April will de-
crease, it is thought, about $780, 900. Omaha
was again weak and preferred stock sold off
to 1888, and common to 1871. The short
interest IN Union Pacific is estimated at about
20, 900 Shares, and Gould is said to be buy
ing all that is offered. Chicago continues
bearsh on Changers, and there is large in
terest in them already out. There were large
sales of Kansas u Texas yesterday, although
its friends think well of it on account
of the late rise in its bonds. Bull points
are given out for ten point in Lake Shore,
on account of the new settlement with
Nickel Plate. The Chesapeake & Ohio
company has decided to pay May coupons

GRANTS AFTER-DINNER TALK.
The Silent Man AstOnishes His

tanning.
Boston Herald.


Senator ingalls,, in speaking of Gen.
Grant week ago said; Gen. Grant was
one of the most entertaining after-dinner
takers l ever knew. He was only the silent
man in crowds and at times when fiatterers
tried to draw him out and make him talk
about himself But after dinner, or with
few congenial friends anywhere he was
ready interesting and often fascinating in
conversation. l recall especially one even
ing when Gen. Grant was president. 1t
was at dinner party at the White house.
Among the guests were a number of sena-
tors and Gen. Sheridan. Mrs. Grant and
the ladies had retired from the table, and
we were smoking our cigars. Gen. Grant
talked great deal. He was in his happiest
mood, and | knew everybody enjoyed him
just as much as l did. | don't know how it
came about but finally we began to go
backward and talk of the time of life a man
would most care to live over again. Each
mentioned some particular age when life
seemed brightest and most desirable, and
period he would enjoy to live the second
time. Some turned back to bOyhood 9TH
erS to early manhood with the pleasant
recollectiOns. while to some the present was
the most satisfactory And you. general;
what part of your life would You like to live
over AGAIN. one of the guests asked of the
president.
''Gen Grant dropped his chin on his
breast and was silent for minute or two
l can see him now, as we all waited for his
answer in his face, which. as usual was a
sealed book. But we fully expected that
he would choose that part of his life which
had been prosperous and great. He lifted
his head and said in voice of quiet decis-
ion that left no doubt of sincerity:
"'All of it. | should like to live all of
my life over again. There isn't any part of
it should want to leave OUT"

The ST. CrOix Lumber company's small

noon from Dubuque, Ia, making very

been built for the firm and no doubt she
will be as successful as the Ida Fulton, the
boat they formerly owned and which she
replaces. There is a good deal of work yet
to be done on board, but nothing that will
prevent her being used for towing RATS.
Her cabin is finely fitted and the state
rooms are large and airy. She is valuable
addition to the boats owned i'll this city. She
makes her first trip with raft of lumber
from GlenmOnt on Monday.
