IN ARGUMENT THAT CONVINcEs.

II " II
For Democratic-ridden city and county,
as our morning contemporary would say,
the first S100,0 installment of city and
county per cent bonds sold remarkably
well on yesterday, bringing higher pre-
MUM than any of our municipal bonds have
heretofore brought From the doleful tone
of our contemporary when discussing the
license bill and the redistrlcting scheme one
would have supposed that Democratic SUI
premacy in the city of st. Paul had not only
demoralized the municipality, but had so
thoroughly wrecked the city finances that it
would never be possible to recover from our
bankrupt condition. 1t was impossible 10
suppose that ''the leading Republican journal
of the Northwest could so far risk its repu-
tation for conservatism as to indulge in any
clap trap for partisan purposes, and there
were timid. and credulous people in the
ruptcy was staring US in the face,
and that the city's credit had gone
to the ''bow-wows" long ago. The
result OF yesterdays bidding on the city
and county bonds demonstrated that the
Republican "organ' 'labored under some sort
of hallucination, and that its dreams of
municipal bankruptcy were only the result of
an overgorged liver. The fact is that, not
withstauding the continued horror of DEM
ocratic city government, which has been
talked about so much, the credit of the city is
higher to-day than ever before in its history.
1t is not only good but prime. There is not
another city In the United States that can
make a better showing of a sound financial
condition than st. Paul. 1t is so solid that
even the insidious attacks OF those who have
reason to be the city's friends do not shake
its credit. II q Democratic city government
has done so well for the city's credit, the
wisest thing to do is to try little more of
the same sort. As long as we are on rising
ground, the safe plan is to keep right ahead
in the beaten track. Figures arc not only
eloquent, but they are truthful, and the
81 per cent. premium on the city
bonds knocks in the head all the sophistry of
the high license talk and redistricting con-
spiracy. The niger wouldn't stay in the
woodpile where he had been put.

THE DAKOTA LEGISLATURE.
Passage of the Capital Removal Bill
by the Council.
The Woman Suffrage Bill to Be Submitted IN
the People.

BISMARCK, March 5.-The Bismarck Jour
nal states the situation as to the bribery case
as follows: The evidence SO far presented
to the investigating committee is to the
effect that Wells sought an interview with
De Woody and urged him to support the capi-
tai removal. De Woody says Wells claimed
they had secured four votes from the North,
making sixteen in all in tine couDci! and
thirty-fve in the house, including three
from the North; and that they would, there
fore, be able to pass the bill over the cover
nor's veto. De Woody says Wells told him
who was in the scheme and
what there is in it, and
finally made direct proposition to give him
$1,000 for his support of the measure. He
arranged for another meeting and so ar
ranged that Messrs. Scoby aud Johnson
should be in an adjoining room with an
opening through which they could see and
hear what passed between them. 1t was ar
ranged that the money should be given tc
him by member of the house, by whom the
money was deli 5ered, johnson and Scoby
Witnessing through the opening. De Woody
immediately delivered the money to Gov.
Pierce, and Mark Ward moved for the in
vestigation.
The witnesses so far heard are Messrs. L.
G. Johnson of ordway, NJ. T. Dewoody OF
Edmunds county, Wells and Prentice OF
Pierre and Gov. Pierce Prentice is
not connected with the transaction.
Wells denies and Pierce denies,
but have not yet been before the committee.
They will be examined this evening. The
governor says he has the package delivered
to him by DcWoody said to contain 81 600,
said to have been received from Wells through
a member of the house. The evidence is Of
such character that there is reason for in
vestigation. A reporter interviewed Scoby
this evening, who says he happened at De-
Woody's room casually and not by arrange
ment That he found johnson there; that
DeWoody asked him to go into another room
with Johnson as he expected a call; that
Pierce came in and he saw him hand De-
Woody package; DeWoody took it and said
he should keep it himself; that he did not
see the money or hear distinctly the conver-
sation; that he was not mixed with the mat
ter through any desire of his. The Westoyer
committee met and organized and were to
meet this evening. Pierce will be examined
tonight.
The house spent the day in committee of
the whole, and recommended the bill remov-
ing the United States court from Yankton to
Mitchell to pass.
The council passed house bills extending
suffrage to women with amendment sub
mittiug the act to vote next fall. Ayes 19,
Noes 5, against amendment 10 votes; strik-
ing from the license clause of the Spearfsh
charter the word ''requre'' and inserting
"authorize;" establishing Central university
at Ordway; relocating capital at Pierre.
The council also passed council bills vacat
ing town site in Bon Homme county; Au-
thorizing the city of Mitchell to issue bonda
for funding Indebtedness; vacating certain
blocks in the town of Nj arion junction,
Turner county.

Universal Confidence of the Business In
tereStS.

From the Philadelphia Times 0nd.)
The inaugural address of President Cleveland
bears the closest analogy to the general tone Of
President Lincoln's inaugural twenty-four years
ago. The great issues that confronted Lincoln
have passed away, but the trust in the people
that pervaded every important utterance of Lin
coins is reflected in every paragraph of Cleve-
lands first deliyerance. I he thorough Demo
cratic faith that ever keeps the people in view as
the supreme tribunal of the nation was the
faith that enabled Lincoln to defy the assaults OF
faction and triumph over the discord and jeal
ousies of his party leaders, and that faith is the
one most conspicuous feature of the Cleveland
inaugural. Executive abnegation, public econo-
my, simplicity and proclaimed respect for the
reserved rights of both states and people are
clearly foreshadowed by the declared purposes
of the new president. because, as he says: ''This
is the peoples will impressed upon the whole
framework OF our civil policy, municipal, state
and federal" Except as partisan expectants
shall be disappointed, there will be very general
approval OF the brief. modest, patriotic inaugu-
raj OF the new president. II will appeal to the
consderate approval of the best citizens of all
parties, and must command universal confidence
from the whole business interests Of the coun-

"How can it.; if the rest of them

and when it goes up the Vandalia will
be in the market for freight. AT present
there is an immense amount of freight
going by st. Louis from the Missouri river
points which is being taken at d rate below
20 cents Chicago basis on which we are
working. The other roads in the pool are
getting this freight, and we, being confined
to st. Louis, are not getting any to speak
Of. We were idle a good por-
ton of the winter, because we were
ahead of our percentage in the pool, and
now that we have been able to take freight
for two or three weeks, we find ourselves
ahead once more and we must shut down. l
believe the entire pool system needs reor-
ganization, and believe We are going to get
it in April. You may be very certain of one
thing. When it comes the Vandalia will
never go back at its old percentage.

Northern Pacific Pass Rules.

Vice President and General Manager
Oakes of the Northern Pacific railroad has
given the following orders to officers, con-
ductors and others whom it may concern
Trip or time passes must not be issued,
nor honored for passage, with erasures or al
terations of any kind on the face. When
necessary to extend the limits of trip or
other passes and not practicable to use new
blank, it should be done by means of full in
dorsement on the back of the pass, counter
signed in full by the person authorized to
do so.
Conductors who honor passes not properly
made out and countcrsigned, or with altera-
tions not in accordance with the above in
structions, will be called upoh to pay the
fare, Jointly with the officers or en-
ployes responsible for their issue, of
the person so carried, between the points
covered by the passes in question. The
use of station numbers instead of station
names In writing out passes of any kind
may be discontinued. The use of a rubber
stamp for countersignature, or the counter
signature of any person "by" another, is
Objectionable and cannot be permitted.
Passes filed out, or partially filed out, with
pencil will not be honored. Conductors
should endeavor to withhold from the person
presenting it any pass he does not feel at
liberty TO honor, and will return such pass to
the auditor with his usual daily remittances.
Telegraphic passes may be addressed to any
agent or officer of the railroad company for
countersignature and delivery, when not
con venient to use the form prescribed by the

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLA-
TIRE

THE legislature has closed its labors and
its work will now pass in review before an
intelligent public 1t was a Woodworking,
conscientious legislature and aimed to pro-
mote the best interests of the state. That it
made some mistakes is due to the common
falibility of legislative bodies. But upon the
whole it committed remarkably few errors,
and its record is cleaner than that Of some
other legislative bodies. There is disposition
among those who know nothing of'the actual
difficulties encountered in legislative bodies
to carp ut them and to congratulate the public
upon their adjournment and speak Of 1t as
''the most worthless Legislature ever assem-
bled." Yet, if those same individuals were
called upon to discharge the delicate and
laborious task of a nscientious legislator it
is questionable whether they would do half
as well as those whom they criticise and
censure. The legislature whose session is
just ended had many public questions before
it for determination requiring the exercise
of prudence, justice, thought, judgment and
craftsmanship, and yet it has disposed of
them in a way that will commend itself to
public appreciation. From social stand
point the people of st. Paul will regret the
departure of the individual members who
have contributed so largely to our society en-
joyments, and they will carry with them to
their homes in various parts of the state the
kindest impressions of our people.

Washington Special TO Philadelphia Times.
When The first trial came on elaborate
preparations were made for 5waim's defense.
The courts was one Of the highest courts in
the army that could be conveniently got to-
getber. Why didn't it convict and dismiss
Swain from the armyl That is what bothers
other army officers. Simply because the
''court," " instead Of being preiudiced against
Swain, was preiudiced against the war Of
fee. In the army when an officer gets above
the rank Of colonel he is bigger than the en-
tire war department and the secretary OF war
included. 4 maior-geDeral accepts the civil
ian secretary as a necessary evil, TO be
tolerated as long as he leaves the army alone.
When the civilian secretary undertakes TO
show will Of his own he is to be sat upon as
Temporary creature interfering with the

that had it not been well known that Swain
had incurred the severe disDleasure Of the
civil government his sentence would have
been disgrsceful dismissal from the army.
As 1t was, the findings have been properly

DEATH OF THE REDISTRTCTTNG
PROP0ST TPFOY

One more serpent has been scotched. The
redstricting bill is dead, and its friends
mourn as those who mourn without hope.
A more nefarious scheme Of political gerry
Wandering was never projected, and every
fair-minded citizen congratulates the heroic
members of the Legislature who had the
moral courage to fight it to its death. Prom
inent among those who resisted the passage
of the iniquitous measure was our own Sen
ator Griggs, who proved himself veritable
Achilles in his manly fight against
the bill. The people of st. Paul
will not forget their champion. And
a sense of justice prompts US to accord
to Senator Gilfllan the credit of having con-
Quoted himself in the spirit of a gentleman,
who will not permit his political preferences
and prejudices to urge him to do an act which
was repugnant to his own sense of justice
and fair dealing. A very strong pressure
was brought to bear upon Mr.. Giltillan by
Republican politicians and newspapers to
bulldoze him into the support of the iniqui-
tious proposition upon the ground of party
necessity. 1t is to Senator Gilfillan's credit
that he could not be bent to such storm,
and he stands to-day as he has always stood,
erect in his integrity and strong in char
acter.

Six Persons Fearfully Burned by an Explo-
sion Of Boiling Horse Medicine.
PIrTsBURG, Pa, March 5.-This evening
Frank Runkle, teamster living on Grant
alley, Allegheny City. placed on the stove to
boil a mixture of turpentine, tar and linseed
oil, which he had been told would cure
horse OF lameuess. In the room
at the time besides Runkle was his daughter
Annie, aged z years, son aged pears,
julia Walters 13 years old, and young man
named Dipp. The mixture had been on the
stove probably an hour when 1t boiled over.
Instantly it ignited and second afterward
an explosion occurred which scat
tered the scaldIng liquid and flames
in all directions. Young Dipp,
with great presence Of mind, grabbed
up the can with the burning mixture and
started for the door, while Runkle ran to the
rescue of the children whose clothes were
mass of flames. One by one he picked them
up and threw them out of window into the
yard and then jumping after them tore the
clothes from their bodies. Assistance arrived
by this time aud the fire having been ex-
tinguished the little sufferers were
carried back TO the house. Annie was burned
TO crisp and died shortly in great agony.
Julia Walters was also terribly burned, the
flesh peeling of her arms and legs. She is
still living and suffering intensely. Hope,
however, Is entert iDed Of her recovery. The
little boy was badly burned about the face
and arms but will recover. Young Dipp had
the fesh burned of his hands aud arms, and
Runkle was painfully but not seriously in
juTed. The damage to The house By FIRE was

THE PRESS ON THE INAUGURAL.
E,ninently satisfactory.

Eminently satisfactory.
From the New York Times Ind. Rep.)
The brief and succinct reference made by the
president to the duties Of his office and to the
chief ends which he will keep in view is emf
nently satisfactory. His statement that the pub
lie expenditures should be limited to the actual
needs of the government economically admin
istered is not from his lips the trite formula OF
the political platform, for he has shown in the
governors office at Albany that he not only
knows clearly what this statement implies, but
that he has the practical sense and the capacity
and the will to apply it effectively. He adds that
the principle defined by him "bounds the right
of the government to exact tribute from the
earnings of labor aud the property of tho Citizen.
A just economy and taxation for public purposes
solely are thus, with him, not a matter Of ex-
pedency, but matter OF wellsetted, constitu-
tional obligation. The principle will be found
to be the key to his policy at Washington as it
was at Albany.

The Puilosopnlcal Ram.
From Life.

TOU1 Lie.
A solemn-visaged old ram, with long wool,
was one day browsing In valley with large
number Of animals; and after the weather
had been duly discussed, he remarked:
'Now, just look at this suit Of clothes.
Here's something strictly frst-class. You
don't pick up rament like this on this road.
I'm sorry you fellows can't dress in this style
but it can't be helped. You see am q sty-
lish gentleman by nature. Ny clothes are
the cynosure Of all eyes.''
The animals passed on without replying.
In few days the sheep-shearlng took place,
and the old ram along with the other sheep
was deprived Of his feecy garment and made
to look very naked and homely. Soon after
this humlllating experience he met the ami
mails in whose presence he had boasted oil
his fine clothes.
'Well, mator,'' remarked the goat, ad-
dressing the ram, ''you seemed TO be stripped
for Turkish BATH
"Yes,' and congratulate him On the
prospect" observed the bear.
"Quantum mutatus ab illisW exclaimed
young ass, just from college, as he nipped
mouthful Of grass with classic grace; "don't
be discouraged, old fellow"
''The MAJOR seems to be stripped for a
prize-dgbt,'' whispered the buzzard, with
amiable sarcasm.
sIve had enough Of this" retorted the
ram, In a tone Of offended dignity; ''I'll butt
the life out Of the next one Of you that says
ANYTHING more On the subject. Ny cast-oR
garments are worth more in the market than
the whole CARCASS Of some Of you. 1t Is not

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March 5.-The Grand Trunks
notice of the withdrawal from the trunk line
pool expires April 1. Unless that notice is
withdrawn some time this month the Grand
Trunk COOS out and with its withdrawal, in
the opinion of competent judges, the pool
must go to pieces. AS time creeps on
opinions continue to vary as to the
probable outcome. Many believe that
the Grand Trunk will withdraw its notice
within short time, and that the pool can
then be organized without difficulty. 1t is
asserted that the, road is desirous of withdraw
ing its notice, and is actuated by feeling of
pride in putting off that action to the last
minute. By others the Grand Trunks posi-
ton is defined as threatening. Anticipating
reorganization Of the pool, it is hiding for
higher percentage by holding up before the
eyes of trunk line managers the disastrous
results which must follow acomplete dissolu-
ton and war of rates.

DAKOT4S CAPITOL ON WHEELS
AGAIN.

D4hOI4S C4P11OL ON WHEELS
AGAIN.
THE Dakota council on yesterday passed
the capitol relocation bill IA to II, and it
now goes to Gov. PIERCE for his veto, which
he will undoubtedly bestow, for 1t is beyond
question piece of spite legislation and dis
graceful to the territorial council and as
sembly which combined to adopt it. There
is no reason why the capitol should be re-
moved from Bismarck. When Southern
Dakota shall have been admitted as a state
there will be ample time to locate capitol
in that section OF the present territory, and
time will have been given for the develop
ment of TOWNS which will be entitled to COM
petition for capitol honors Then North
Dakota can settle its own capitol question
in its own way. Until division
and admission are an accomplished
fact there should be no question
as to the territorial capitol being iecated
where the commission decided, and which
site has been affirmed by the territorial
courts. The whole capitol question as
factor in Dakota legislation this session has
been out OF place. But inasmuch as it has
come up for consideration, it is just as well
that the council and the assembly should
have taken the action they have, for their
misdirected efforts may now be fully neutral
ized by the executive veto and the mooted
question quieted beyond further con troyersy,
as division and admission will forever settle
the dispute between the two sections in the
next ten years.
