St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-01-06

this city In some time, as those who are to
take part are thoroughly proficient in their
different parts.
peculiar and fatal accident occurred in
the town of Cottage Grove last week. 1t APP
pears that man was engaged in digging
we'll on the farm of Adoniah Keene, and was
down some twenty feet with it. Near the
mouth of the well some n were killing
hogs, when one of lAem after being
stuck was allowed TO run. around and
bleed to death In it's death struggles
the hog got to the edge Of the well,
tumbling in and killing the man in the well.
This is the report current on the street, and
we give 1t as we heard it.
Yesterday Senator Castle and Dr. Pratt left
for the seat of assembled wisdom in st.
Paul, where no doubt they will show good
work in the Interests of their constituents.
Senator Castle has made his maik previously.
and his eruditon as member of the bar has
stood him in good stead in framing the laws
of the state. In the lower house his efforts
will be ably seconded by the Hon. E. w.
Durant, who is war horse IN caucus, and
knows how to smooth over difficulty as well
as any one, and also by DR.. Pratt, who is
cautious almost to a fault. We are not
ashamed of our representatives who are resi-
dents Of Saltwater, the nursery OF the fore
most men Of the state.
Mr.. Jas. G. Foley, who has so long and
faithfully held the Office of county auditor,
to-day steps down and out, and has proved
as good an auditor as the county has had.
He, during his long continuance in Office,
nod ta1 unit
person in the county, and could say just
what the needs of their section was. AS
auditor he made one of the most active mem
bers of the county commission board, by
whom his services were duly appreciated.
We have no doubt his successor will walk
worthily in his shoes, and do all he can to bill
them. We shall also miss Mr.. Philip ID.
Foley, who has been an efficient and oblig-
ing clerk in the Office, but Henry w. Davis
will continue with the new auditor.
Yesterday your representative had visit
from the Rev. Thomas Mcclure, Emerson,
Manitoba, who is on his way to Ontario. MIR.
Mcclure has advanced ideas as to what is of
benefit for that new country of The north
west, and says that there must be change,
not only in the matter of transportation and
subsidy from the Dominion government, but
trade relations with the United States The
country is good one, but has many draw
backs, yet as soon as they get fair show
with the outside world il is bound to go
ahead. He has no confidence that the Nor
quay and Murray delegation, which is at pres
eut in Ottawa, will accomplish much, as
Norquay has not the backbone to stand up
for the rights Of the province and Sir John
A. Macdonald can cajole him. Mr.. Murray,
who is speaker of the Manitoba Legislature, is
good man, but cannot do much alone.
When the legislature in Manitoba meets next
month there will be some lively times should
not better terms be granted by the Doui ion
government, and the present party
there will have to step down,
although it is probable that Nor
quay and his party will join with the
others in appealing to the home govern ment
in England. Sir John will not approve OF
that, and may grant the province control OF
certain of these lands, or pay over money
subsidy, as the province contributes many
times what it receives into the federal treas
ury.
