the last half OF that time no man in the country
had a greater influence than he in forming cur
rent legislation. During these years. too he
saved little money, which, invested in the
broad prairies outside of what was then Mime
apolis, became the foundation of his fortune
In 1874 King was elected to Congress but be-
fore taking his seat the Pacific Mail scandal
broke out and created a tumult 1t was shown
that King had nothing to do with the legislation.
but he had stock transactions with leading officers
of the company, whose accounts had been
settled by the company's agent i'll Washington.
The committee of investigation called upon Col
King to appear and explain. This he refused to
do. preferring to spend his time among the dukes
and duchesses lords and barons of his friend
Cochrane, the famous short horn breeder in
Canada.
The history of those transactions which Mr..
King refused to disclose to the committee has
always been and probably will always be a
secret But personal friends who are in his
confidence we'll understand that il was a sense
OF chivalrous personal honor that made him
prefer TO bear MUST and cruel imputations
rather than involve a single personal friend in
any suspicion of official integrity. Colonel
King, in fact, has always affirmed that there
was nothing improper in his conduct or in the
relations which those friends bore to that meas
ure, but in the mad excitement Of that time an
honest explanation by him would have insured
the ruin of his friends, some of whom since
have fifty held high places of trust. 1t was a
simple act of heroism On Kings part and the
same motive which compelled him to immediate

Out of that trouble grew Kings financial
disaster. jay Gould, who wanted to hurt Pacific
Mail, caused an attachment TO Issue against all

his credit and compelled him to have recourse

THE VANDERBILT WILL.

Public curiosity will be gratited by the
publication of Mr.. VANDERBILTs will.
People We're more curious to know
how his vast estate was to be disposed than
they were as to the details of his death. The
will is Mr.. NANDERBILT's without mis-
take. 1t disposes OF his fortune just as he
managed it in life. There is the same dis
position to treat the members Of the family
with fairness and at the same time to keep
the VANDERBILT supremacy prominent.
The daughters are provided with snug
little fortune of $40. 900. 900 each. But the
bulk of the estate goes to the two boys. and
the railroad stocks are to be kept in bulk
AS the testator evidently had no idea of
being a CRESUs in the world to which he
was going, he only lays UP the modest sum
OF $1,000, 900, ont of the $500, 900, 900,
as heavenly treasure.

The common theory of government is to en-
force the laws and preserve good order
among the people. The Socialist would
have the functions of government enlarged
to the extent of owning all land, telegraph
lines, railroads, etc., and operate them in
the interest of the people as whole and
not for the benefit of the few. He claims
that as matter of fact the tendency
of all civilized government is toward his
position and points to the vast Increase OF
governmental business in the last century,
especially in England and Germany. There
the government undertakes the education
of the children, the administration OF the
postal arrangements, it owns and manages
the telegraphic system and is fast becoming
the banker for the millions Prof. WAC
NER of Berlin attempts to show that by an
irresistible law civilized governments must
continue to absorb private business until
there shall be nothing but state business.
and then the socialistic state will be fully
established. But even if there be such a
law its operation must be so slow that the
delay in its consummation is likely to over
tax the patience of the average Socialist;
hence the necessity of attempting some
thing to allay the agitation that is fast
threatening to become revolution. Ii only

GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE.

Why should the girls, simply because an
inscrutable fate has declared that they
shall wear dresses instead of trousers, or
even the compromise boomer costume, be
debarred from many wholesome sports and
pleasures which, with envious eyes. they
see their brothers enjoying, and in which an
iron-bound conventiOnality or mistaken
prejudice prevents them from taking part?
To be sure. the laws of her nature render
her but feeble caricature as base ball
list, and under the present foot ball rules it
must be admitted that she would not shine
at that sport. Then. too, her well-known
tender nature would prevent her from taking
that savage delight in a Touchdown with
the gloves that is indispensable to the
thorough enjoyment and practice of spar
ring. But there are sports of less violent
nature in which she can indulge, if a begin
ming be but deiantly and firmly made. She
can certainly lay claim to having as great
necessity for outdoor life as her brothers.
She generally spends most of her time
within doors, and in consequence can better
appreciate the value of an ''outing." If it
is not found practicable by the tobog-
gaming and snowshoe clubs formed
by young men to grant the young women
admission to the benefits of those
desirable organizations, the remedy
| is easy. With spirit of Independence and
the application of little practical women's
| rights, they can organize clubs of their own.
1t will then not be long before they can
have the proud satisfaction of refusing or
accepting, as they see fit more than enough
applications for membership from the
young men to provide each and every
maiden with an escort, who can be utilized
| for present needs during the club meets and
| supposable supper purposes afterwards.
| Regarded from an aesthetic point of view.
| the girls may be assured that the Canadian
girls find the effectiveness of the pictltr-
esque blanket costume not surpassed even
| by a decolete evening costume That
alone should be sufficient to incite revolt

THE GOSPEL OF EXERCISE.

In spite of all the sneers which are con-
tinually being made at the prominence
given athletics in different colleges, the fact
remains that the graduates of the present
day, taken as whole are superior set of
men. physically, to the students of past
years, who were apt to be forced into an
intellectual development, which, with its
general concomitant of a weakened cOnSti
tuition, could never be utilized to the fullest
capacity. While it is of course quite possible
to Overdo the matter of gymnastic training,
the testimony of progressive educators goes
to show that those men who were most con-
siStent in their exercise were also in many
cases the best scholars. 1t is to be hoped
that the disciples of this modern gospel of
exercise will continue to exert the same in
fluence when they leave school and college
for the routine occupations of actual life.
The charge is we'll founded that Americans.
while the most energetic nation on the face
of the earth, burn the candle at both ends
and quickly snuff out. But the knowledge
of the necessity for regular exercise is
gradually growing. and the time is prob
ably not far distant when the city OF town
which is not provided with facli-
ties for overcoming the ill-etfects of
sedentary occupations will be the
exception. In the winter, especially,
the difficulty OF obtaining a due amount Of
exercise is encountered. But the very con-
ditiOns which at that time make outdoor
life inconvenient are taken advantage of by
our friends across the border in way
which is extremely popular. Toboggan
and snOWshoe clubs abound and are recog-
nized as among the most pleasant features
of long winter. For the first time it is
possible here in st. Paul to participate in
both methods of sport, and therefore the
clubs recently formed, particularly the
Snow Shoe club, should have large Access
sion of membership. The result will be
not only to aid in making our ice carnival
successful. but it will provide an enjoyable,
inexpensive and healthful form of exer-

of my friendship, did wrong in appearing
upon the public street in front of q bar-room

TIRE FIRST VOLUNTEER.
,. R. KING Disputes the Statement
That F4ausdorf Was the MAN.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
l desire to call Maj. Newson's attention
to his article which appeared in last Sun
days GLOBE entitled Pen Pictures, especi-
ally to that portion of it stating that G. F.
Hausdorf Of this city was the first man in
the United States to enlist under the call OF
President Lincoln for IS, 900 volunteers fol
three months, was the first man in the first
company of the first regiment of the first
troops from Minnesota who enlisted for
three years. etc. All very pretty. but all
false in each particular.
Col. HauSdorf was not the first man to
enlist in the United States: was not the first
man in the first company OF the first regi-
ment OF the first roops from Minnesota.
| challenge Col. Hausdorf to prove his
claims to the above hOnOrs and to produce
lis evidence, and TO cite the time. date,
place and the occasion and surroundings of
his enrolling himself as a volunteer. Now.
there must have been others present and
considerable excitement and enthusiasm dis
played about this time. Therefore to make
his claim good to the honor of being the
first volunteer in the United States. let him
come to the front and give to the public
through the columns Of the GLOBE the
facts.
The writer of this article claims to be the
first man in the United States to volun-
teer under the call Of President Lincoln
for $4,000 volunteers for three
months; was the first man in the
first company of the first regiment
Of the first troops from Minnesota. who vol
mteered for three years or during the war.
and stands ready to make his claim good,
against all corners.
Col. Hausdorf did not command the First
Minnesota regiment for ten months; nor die
he ever command the First regiment Of Min
neesota. The First regiment of Minnesota
volunteers was lInn0rably mustered out the
service at Fort Smelling in May. 1864. after
an honorable record of three years faithful
service in the Army of the Potomac; after
the regiment was disbanded. a few pf the
old regiment banded together and started q
veteran battalion. which WAS recruited il
St Paul during the SuHiiner Of 1861. ant
Col. IiallsIorf was appointed lieutenant
in this battalion. which retained the title OF
the old First: but it was not the First regi
ment Of Minnesota Of Army OF Potomac
fame, by jug full.
[ write this article in order that Maj.
Newson may have an opportunity Of cor
recting his very interesting article. above
alluded to. and make it historically correc
on this point, and at the same to render the
''honors to WHOM the honors are due"
