HOW IT WASDONE.

Recent investigation of the interior de
partment shows that while Mr.. TELLER
was secretary he was sometimes in the habit
of getting the cart before the horse in max
ing out his reports An illustration of this
faculty on the part of the eX-Secretary is
found in a certain report on Indian affairs.
lie states that of S552, 900 appropriated
within certain period as an Indian edu-
cational fund, $3.50, 900 was spent directly
for educational purposes and the rest for
articles of utility designed to pro-
mote the civilization OF the Indians
The fact is just the reverse. The
$3.50, 900 was spent Tor So-called
utility articles and the rest for educational
purposes. The articles were bought at
fancy prices and somebody made good
deal of money out of the sale OF them. A
number of articles were bought that were
of no use in the world to the Indians. Sew
eral hundred plOWS were sent to one OF the
Northern agencies and are there yet, and
not one of them has ever turned furrow.
The metal is eaten with rust and the handles
rotted out. One of the articles purchased
with the design ''of promoting the civiliza-
ton of the Indians" as eX-Secretary Teller
expressed it, was bale of smoking tobacco
at a cost of $4,000. This is the way the
public money went under Republican adj
ministratiOn.

THE HEALTH REPORT.

The comprehensive review of the local
health department, published in to-day's
GLOBE, shows most excellent sanitary
condition of the city. The death rate this
year is lower than that of any city in the
world. This of itself Is not only evidence
of effective sanitation, but is also conclusive
testimony to the healthfulness of our
climate. Among the suggestions which the
health officer will make in his official re-
port,sa wifi be one in regard to the desir-
| ability of laying a sewer from the Minnesota
Transfer ground to the river, III or
der to carry off the otfal from
the slaughter pens in that vicinity.
The improvement will involve cost
of something like $50, 600, but the benefit
to be derived from it is so great it is hardly
a supposable case that the city will neglect
to make it as soon as definite estimates OF
the cost of laying the sewer are obtained.
An interesting feature of the official report
will be the publication Herewith of map
showing the sewer system of the city and
indicating the locality in which certain dis
eases have most prevailed. By this simple
feature the public will at once see the ne
cessity for improved sewerage in certain
districts of the city. When it is remembered
that our drainage system is new and yet in
complete, and taking this in connection with
the unprecedently low death rate for the
past year, we are justified in the claim that
st. Paul is the healthiest city in the world.

THE TOWNLEY ESTATE.

AS regularly as the seasons come round
some one discovers that large estates in
England are awaiting the legal heirs. Nc
one ever RECEIVERS anything, but that makes
no difference to other anxious claimants.
The latest alleged windfall is ''the CHARLES
TowNLEY estate" valued at $500, 900, 900.
The supposed heirs are scattered all ovel
the United States, and two delegates from
each state will be chosen by state conven-
ton to take part in a national convention OF
the heirs. Any person in Minnesota desir-
ing to acquire slice of the pie is invited te
communicate with STEPHEN THoRNE and
WALTER COLE of Lake Crystal, Blue Earth
county, executive committee for Minnesota.
Uncle Sam may be able to give every one a
farm, but England is able to give all an
''estate'-if she will. The chances are she
wont. 1t isn't convenient for the British
government to spare $1,000, 900 from the
national treasury at this time.

THE DIFFERENCE.

There is a marked distinction in the
treatment of the British government toward
King THEEBAw and the fate it awarded to
poor REL. THEEBAw is brutal savage
who murders his own family with the same
alacrity that he does British subject. He
attempted rebellion without the slightest
proyocation. And yet when he surrenders
he is put in pretty palace, pensioned and
allowed to drink himself to death in peace
and quiet. REL belonged to race whose
wrongs and expressions excited the sympa-
thy of all the civilized world. He led his
people in rebellion as the only hope of re-
dressing their grievances. When he sur
rendered he was hung like dog. This is
the difference in the treatment of these two
notable British prisoners. Because the
cruel THEEBAw was invested with title of
royalty he is honored in defeat. Because
RIEL was of plebeian origin he was made to
suffer an ignominious death. The inconsist-
ent conduct of the British government to-
ward these two offending rebels relieves
Great Britain of American sympathy or re-
spect. When Canada becomes republic.
and not until then, will the disgrace of
RIEL's death be wiped out.

CUBA.

Another Cuban instruction is incubating.
This was looked for as natural result of
King ALFoNso's death. The success of the
insurrectionary movement will depend a
good deal on the unraveling of the present
complications in Spain. The little gem of
the ocean is the object of more than one
nations avarice. While Russia and Aus
tria are intriguing the conquest and division
of Turkey, the voracious BISMARCK is keep
ing steadfast eye on Cuba, This fact
should excite the United States to a condi-
ton Of watchfulness. While there is no
special reason at this time why this govern
ment should make an effort to acquire new
territory, there are very good reasons why
we should not allow any other power to
gobble up Cuba from right under our eyes.

BETTER THAN IT LOOKS.

A Boston doctor who wanted to take his
family to Texas on visit, had palace car
fixed I'D at an expense of So, 500. Some
people will write the doctor down as fool
They will say that the doctor, his wife and
seven children could have bought round
trip tickets from Boston to Austin at cost
of $780, and that the extra 1000 he has
expended for style is just so much money
thrown away. On the face this judgment is
correct. The 50, 900 thus thrown away in
paying a rich railroad corporation for extra
ordinary accommodations which were
not needed, could have been eX-
pended for charitable purposes. There
are various phases of suffering humanity
which would have been wonderfully bene-
flied by this amount of money. But it was
the doctors own money and he had right
to spend it in way to suit his own fancy.
And when we come to look at it in a proper
light he hasn't made such bad use of it after
all. The VANDERBILTS, the GoULDS, the
SAGES, the GARRETTs and all the great
railroad magnates and millionaire princes
are in the habit of impressing people with
the magnifcence of their wealth by making
just such displays when they go out for an
airing. The effect Of all this has
been tendency to impress upon the public
the idea that wealth means aristocracy. and
that the individual who is the possessor of
cool round million dollars is entitled to be
entered on the list of royalty. In this way
there has almost imperceptibly grown up a
distinction of caste, founded ON money
basis. which is becoming a dangerous ele-
ment in our republican government. How
to break down this class distinction with
out Invoking violence or social revolution
has been one of the most serious problems
presented to the minds of thinking Ameri-
can people. The Boston doctor is giving a
most excellent solution to the problem.
He is determined that the privilege
of making vulgar display shall not
be confined to the millionaire class.
When it comes to be understood that the
plebean can enjoy style and affect the ways
of royalty as well as the aristocrat the bar
riers will be broken down. There can be
no caste without the badge OF distinction.
SO it is the Boston doctor is a public bene-
factor. He is a man of humble position and
his name is not known a half-doZen blocks
beyond his residence in the city of Boston.
BY close attention to his professional duties
for many years he has accumulated Il few
thousand dollars. He now proposes to take
short vacation, and instead of quietly
Slipping off to the South with his family
! and returning as quietly in the spring to re-
sumo his practice. he is travelling around
over the country in a style BETTING prince.
1t is a spectacle that will be most humiliat-

AN AMBITIOUS WOMAN.

THEEBAw's queen tried to save her
country from war, but the wife of Presi-
dent DIAZ is scheming to involve Mexico
in revolution. When women go into poll
tics they usually raise muss. In this
instance the first lady in the Mexican land
seems to be a greater power than the two
great military leaders of the republic. She
is designing woman, and In order to
secure the presidential succession to her
own family, has produced rupture between
her husband and his old political ally, CON
zALEs. According to the true Mexican
fashion the dispute will have to be settled
by resort to arms. A good deal of blood
may be shed, but the chances are that the
ambitious wife of President DIAz will hold
the reins when the contest ends.

MAYOR STEEPULS ,BRIDE.
Poor Stanley Huntiey's Story of a
Holiday i'm a DakO ta Town.

Holiday i'm n Dakota Town.
In its last issue brakes Travellers Maya
zine prints an article by the late Stanley
Huntley, found among his papers after his
death. 1t describes his actual experiences
while editor of paper in Bismarck, Oak,
and contains this interesting sketch of a
wedding celebration On the frontier:
1t was a holiday in the town of Prince
when Mayor Steepuls came in from more
eastern town with young and blushing
bride. Business was suspended save in the
bar-rOom; the fire engine was washed and
the brasses frightened. Some American
flags had been eXtempOrizcd, and band Of
the village consisting of two drums and a
cornet, turned out to do honor to the advent
Two chairs had been rugged on the engine,
one on each side of the air-chamber, for the
bride and groom. and the city and county
officials, in black pantalOons and blue shirts,
manned the rope. Behind the engine the
tOwnspeople had been arranged, in sections
of four, with their hands on each others
shoulders. The district attorney had been
appointed orator of the day, and, approach
ing the young and happy couple, he thus
made speech: George, my boy, and Mrs.
Steepuls, when you went away you swore
you wouldn't get married while you were
gone, bat, when we come to look at your
wife, we are glad you lied about it, We
haven't many ladies here. mum, and I'm
glad there are not more like you, for there'd
never be a lick o. business struck. YOU'RE
welcome, / assure yeu, and l know you'll
know we mean it, when 1 tell you you are
the only real rival the old engine ever had.
George my boy, l congratulate you, and 50
do the boys, and may the fires of the love
which know are cracking in your heart
now be the only flames the old engine will
uever put out. Shake, old manr' And the
applause that followed was as hearty as the
welcome. Connubial bliss and prOtracted
Inhibition were too much for the mayors
warm heart. Tears stood in his eyes as he
replied ''Me an tn old woman is much
obliged to yez b'ys; we've done the purity
| thing. l don't know she can cook. fer l
haven't thried that yet, but av wan av yez
is liver hungry, come to the house-yez
moind well where it is, fer yez ave all been
drunk there-an' see av she don't find some
thin fer yez to ate.'' And again the cheer
was prolonged. The district attorney and
the mayor assisted the bride into her chair
OH the off side of the engine. and, the mayor
taking his on the other side, the band
started up and the procession moved.
At the house there were more cOngratula-
tons, and something strong, and during
the balance of the day the town was given
over to genuine happiness. A hOmely sort
Of performance. you may say, but it was an
honest one, and bride nor groom never en-
tered home with warmer welcome than did
our mayor and his wife.

FERGUS FALLS.
The Leading Commercial Center of
Northern Minnesota.
Snecial TO the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Dec. 15.-Fer-
gus Falls, the county seat of Otter Tail
county, and the leading commercial center
of Northern Minnesota, is situated Oh the
Red river, about one hundred and seventy
five miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul,
and 200 miles from Duluth. 1t was first
settled i'll 1870 and incorporated in 1871,
since which time it has enjoyed an even
growth and now has population of 5000.
The farming country surrounding it is rich
and well settled by enterprising and hard
working people. 1t is the business center
and market for larger population than any
town in the northern part of the state. The
Red river, which is spanned by five bridges,
runs through the center of the city and has
an aggregate fall of eighty feet, furnishing
over 10000 horsepower. Five of the
powers have already been improved. The
river at this point does not rise or fall
to exceed twelve inches during the year.
Large forests of hard wood lumber directly
north, and with the cheap power furnished.
makes manufacturing very profitable.
THE RAILROAD FACILITIES
are excellent, having direct communication
with Duluth, and with St. Paul and Min
neapolis by both the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba lines. The Manitoba runs
branch line to Pelican Rapids, a thriving
town of about one thousand inhabitants,
twenty-five miles north. Among the manu-
featuring industries might be mentioned the
Page flour mills, Gable -four mills, Red River
roller mills and Park roller mills, with
their respective capacities per day of $50
barrels, 200 barrels, $50 barrels and 100
barrels. The paper mill, with capacity
of tons per day, carding mill, wagon
factory, coffin factory, furniture factory,
two grist mills, plow works. machine shop,
foundry, bottling works and many other
minor industries, all doing good business.
There are three National banks, with a cap
ital and surplus of over $500, 900. Three
large and substantial brick school houses,
eight churches, six hotels and many large
and handsome as well as substantial bust
ness blocks. The Grand hotel, massive
brick structure, cost unfinished. $4,000,
contains 100 rooms and is supplied with all
the latest improvements. The county has
is one of the finest buildings IN the state,
With all these advantages and improve

THE TAXATION
for all purpose is but % 80 mills on the
assessed valuation. Water and gas mains
are laid to all parts of the city and a sewer
has inst been completed on Lincoln avenue.
The Brush system of electric lights is also
in use. There is well quipped fire de-
partment, with steam fire-engine, in addi-
ton to hydrants. The telephone exchange
has over sixty subscribers and under the
present management is giving good satisfac-
ton. The press is well represented, there
being five papers, of which the Journal is
the daily. The weeklies are the Telegram,

dressed lengthy circular letter to the
Huron legislature, in which he makes pub

in general and President CLEVELAND in
particular. Ifthere was any doubt about
the utter disqualification of Judge SMITH
for any Office his circular entirely removes
