No Flags Displayed.
Special to the Globe.

Special 10 the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Some comment
has been made tonight about the non-display
of the flags on the government buildings.
The stars and stripes floated to-day over the
Fifteenth street entrance of the treasury.
but there was no flag on the other depart-
ments. The general practice Is to display
the flags on the departments on business days
during business hours, but this is duty
left to the ianitors, and they frequently get
careless about it. Every once i'm a while
some new chief there takes hold of the
matter with great vigor, and sees to il that
the flags float over his building, but after a
time the janitors and messengers get indiffer-
ent This is especially the case ON the
holidays when most of the subordinates of
the custodian in the building are of duty.
1t is understood that some Republican pa
pers are preparing to howl that the Confed-
eracy is in the saddle again because the flag
was not displayed to-day over the interior
department and the department of Justice.
but several other departments were i'm the
same condition.

LITCHFIELD, Minn., July 4.-The cele-
bratiOn of the day was inaugurated by a ma

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The few remain
ing aspirants for Minnesota and Dakota Of
ceS are somewhat encouraged by the state
ment recently made by the interior depart
ment officials that these offices would be
reached and disposed of ''before very long. :"
just what this definite statement means,
whether week or a month is unknown.
1t seems probable, however, that some or
perhaps all of them may be taken up during
the present month. 1t is intimated here
that the very hot sectional fight over the
Dakota govemorship may result in de-
cision by the president to put aside all pres
ent candidates and take up new men. The
honors of the present candidates seem
about equally divided between Zie-
bach and Caulfield. The surveyor
generalship fight seems TO stand about
where it did month ago. Lamar is still
reported favoring Donnelly and the preSi-
dent not all favorable to this appointment.
1t looks very much as though compromise
candidate might be chosen for this place.
The struggle for the district attOmeyShip
seems 10 have brought that place
no nearer 10 anybody. The at
tOrney general has intimated to
Minnesota parties that he favored permit
ting the present occupant of the Office to
! serve out his time, which has some months
to run. Indications still point TO Judge
Brisbin as possible selection for the place.
Ex-senator Wilkinson, who has been
here looking for the place, leaves soon
for home, and is quite confident.
That very brilliant paragraph in this
correspondence a week ago which repre-
sents Judge Brisbin as just leaving here
when he in fact had been absent a week,
was slip of the pen. 1t was intended to
apply to Gen. Sanborn. who was just leav-
ing, not TO Judge Brisbin, who was known
| to have been absent for some daYs.

Celebration at Baldwin.

Special to the Globe.
BALDWIN, Wis, July 4.-The celebra-
ton at this place, just brought to sue
cessful termination, and gotten up under
the auspices of the comet band, does
credit to its projectors and renders the day
memorable in the history of the town. The
day was ushered in by the firing of
cannon in the wee sma' hours
Every feature laid down in the
program was carried out to the letter.
The Grafton of Hon. II. l.. Humphrey was
bristling with good points, and furnished
food for those who listened to him who are
at all interested in interstate commerce.
The Grafton cemented the feeling of esteem
which the people of Baldwin already enter
tanned for Judge Humphrey. The only
casualty of the day was broken leg, caused
by the FALLING of horse on William Hill,
a rider of one of the race horses. Wood
vile was conspicuous by the absence of its
citizens Great credit is due the band boys,
and they covered themselves with glory.

Wrong Kind OF Reform.

Special 10 the Globe-
WASHINGTON, July 4.-Facts well
vOuched for were laid before the treasury
department to-day, showing the peculiar
disposition of patronage which Caldwell.
the new surveyor OF the port at Cincinnati,
is making. The matter is not SO much IN
the way of charges as information in which
a reform administration may feel interested.
1t is shown by the records that Mr.. Caldwell
has appointed as custodian of public build
ings a man who has been sent TO the work
house twice for tapping the pOor-bOx in a
Catholic church. Further, he has made
janitor in the registered mail division of the
Cincinnati pOstOfiice a man who served
three years In the penitentiaTy for stealing
a watch and chain. The secretary of the
treasury is informed that although made
acquainted with the record of his appointees
Mr.. Caldwell still retains them in service.

Onc-Cent Postage.


WASHINGTON, July At is expected
that the forthcoming report of the poStmas-
ter general will contain a recommendation
for a one-cent postage. For a number of
years past leading men in both houses of con-
greSs have advocated the one-cent postage
idea. but the department has Strenuously
opposed it on the ground that the deficit
would be so great that the government
could not afford il. Col. Villas. il
is understood, will view the subject
from broader standpoint. His
argument is that il will be better to reduce
postage to such a minimum that even the
poorest can afford the luxury of the mails
than to keep on adding 10 the surplus i'm the
treasury vaults. The postmaster general
will further contend that il was never the
intention of the government to make the
postal service a source of revenue. 1t was
designed for the best interest of the peo-
pie and that interest. he claimed. can be
best subServed by fixing the rate at figure
within the reach of all.

KANSAS, ILL.,, July 4.-The family of
Robert Coffee, consisting of six persons,
and Miss Sale of Paris, Mo-, were all
poisoned last night. About o'clock this
morning Mr.. Coffee was awakened by a
noise in the adjoining house, and on getting
up to see the cause he found he had no con-
troll over himself. His legs were stiff, and
becoming dizzy he fell over. Finally,
upon getting into the next room,
he found the young ladies
with every appearance of being insane.
Arousing the entire household he discov-
cred that all were in like condition. His
own mind wandered and the whole family
acted like mad people. Finally one of the
boys made his way to one of the neighbors
and physicians were brought. They pro-
nOunced the whole family poisoned. There
are hopes of all recovering, though Mrs.
Coffee is still in a dangerous condition. No
one is able to account for the mysterious

Fraud Appointment.
Special TO the Globe.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The appoint

railroad director is being denounced in some
quarters, because the general was one of
the visiting statesmen TO Florida in 1876
and made the dicker with the
late and unlamented Dennis whereby
the electoral vote of FLORIDA was
given TO Hayes instead of Tilden, for which
Hayes made Noyes minister to France.
Curiously enough this appointment was pro-
cured by one Of Mr.. Tuden's attorneys.
Gov. Hoadly of Ohio asked President Cleye-
land to mako this appointment and the, ap-
pointment was made on the strength OF
that request.
