AS A IlATTER'0F JUSTICE.
Mr.. Murdoch Says roper Civil Ser
vice Reform is Praciiced by the
RaiirO.d CaMniis>iO .ers.

Railroad Commissioner Murdoch, in con-
versation with GLOBE reporter the other
day in relation to the published story that
twenty-S even out of twenty-nine men EN-
plOyed by the board in Minneapolis were
from Blue Earth county, said it was not his
fight. as it was on Gen. Baker. But. as
simple matter of justice. he would say
there was no truth in this report and that
many of the men employed were Minne-
apOlis men. MI Murdoch said the hiring
of men by the board could not be called
patronage. as they had to do very hard
work for very little pay. There were only
two or three sinecureS under the charge of
the board, and these were clerkships,
and, as matter of fact, they had
to scour the state to secure men to 90 their
work, for the men got such poor pay that
no sooner had they become expert than they
were hired by private firms for larger sala-
res than the board was authorized to pay.
Hiring these men, Mr.. Murdoch said, was
not patronage any more than it was patron
age for contractor to hire twenty-five
bricklayers. As to the charge that large
number OF these men were at work during
the political canvass in Gen. Bakers dis
trict. it was absurd. AT that time there
was large quantity of material to handle
and it would have caused a blockade of
freight if the men had left their work for
single day. AS an evidence of these men
Having them. Mr.. Murdoch cited the case

To the Editor Of the Globe.
In recent editorial paragraph in the
GLOBE you saw that a New York paper
quotes me as being an enthusiastic admirer
of Henry George and firm believer in his
doctrines. The New York paper is only
partly right / am an admirer of Henry
George because admire talent and SINGER
ity. l like the man personally, because he
is earnest. fair-minded and cherishes an
ideal of human progress. In an age when
most men are absorbed in grabbing as much
of the worlds good things as their greed and
predatory talents can secure for themselves,
it is refreshing to meet a man whose voice
is raised in behalf of the poor and home
less. Here is a man who has stepped out
of obscurity and poverty and cried halt
to the selfishness of the times. with book,

church privileges that each member of the
parish enjoyed holding the use of these
privileges and the Improvement of their

ASA LUMBER MARKET.
The Product of the Immense PIN
Forests Must Come To st. Paul.


Lumber is one of the staple products of
the Northwest the immense pine forests of
this section being of more value and greater
extent than all the other forests IN the
United States combined. Hundreds of the
largest and most important sawmills in the
country are scattered throughout the North
west. St. Paul is fast becoming the center
for all this important traffic. and the lumber
trade of the city increases steadily year by
year. The figures which follow show the
amount of stocks on hand Dec. 1, 1886.
This takes into account only those WHO
are strictly dealers in lnmber. who have
yards here and who have stocks on hand in
st. Paul for sale. No account is taken of
agents. or firms who keep lumber simply to
manufacture. The heaviest lumber firms
in tile world have offices and agencies in st.
Paul, and the aggregate of business annu-
ally transacted is enormous. The purpose
OF the table here printed is simply to show
the stocks on hand on Dec. 1:

A sparsely attended meeting of the Cos
pei Reform Prohibition club was held in
Relief hall yesterday afternoon. The
officers of the assoc iation. which was re-
Gently organized, are: Stillman Meeker,
president; Mrs. NJ. Luley, vice president:
o. E. Wilson, secretary and Mrs. A. L..
Perkins, treasurer. Yesterdays meeting
was devoted to talk, the object of the i'm
promptu remarks OF each person present
being to encourage the members against
disappointment. The president Mr..
Meeker. upon taking the chair, made a
rambling speech. first lauding the power
of the press for good. and then he criticized
the newspapers for giving prominent places
to startling and sensational news, and con-
signing the notices of the club meetings to
obscure places. His idea is that reports of
crimes. sporting matters and startling
news should be published in the obscure
parts Of daily newspaper. and that the
gratis advertisements of the Gospel Reform
Prohibition club announcing its meetings
should be published on the front page in
big letters, and the first thing on the

MIR. MANNING AND THE AUSTRIAN
MISSION.
important Bearing of the Probable Ap"
pOinfment ON the Silver Question.

The announcement that Secretary Manning
Will probably be appointed to the Austrian
mission has aroused considerable discussion
In financial circles. The importance to this
country of having a representative at the Aus
TRAN court who is thoroughly familiar with
financial questions warrants Mr.. Manning'S ac.
cepting the position.
A gentleman who is high financial authority.
and is pretty familiar with the policy of the
administration, expressed the opinion to q
STAR reporter to-day that Mr.. Manning would
De OF extraordinary service to this government
presence in Austria. He would not attempt to
influence the action OF the Austrian or any
other foreign government with relation 10 sill
yer, but would furnish Information to this gov
eminent that would be of incalculable
value. With Mr.. Manning there the Austrian
mission would be the most important
OF all our missions abroad Austria is the best
point In Europe from which to watch European
finances, and just at this time it is of serious
Mr. Manning there. From that point he could
nave more influence upon the action of Con-
gress upon the silver question than he could at
the head of the Treasury department.. We have
no representative abroad competent to grapple
with the financial problems OF Europe Mr.
Manning could, and we need one and in Aus.
tria just at this time. There is probably no
other man who could touch upon the finances
abroad without in some way committing the
United states one way or the other. 1t would
be Mr.. ManningS policy not to interfere with
but to watch the financial affairs of Europe.
Inc administration has not yet given up the
! idea OF suspending silver coinage. Austria has
a single silver standard, and the adniniStr;i-
ton believes that to have careful observer at
the court OF Vienna will operate to settle more
quickly the silver question in this country.
lhe manner III which the inquiries would be
prosecuted would be such not to be too great
strain upon Mr.. Manninss health, though he
IS not able to endure the work OF the Treasury
department.
Another feature of the case, one which would
make the duties OF the Office less trying 10 Mr.
Manning and highly agreeable to his wife, is
the cordial reception Which is assured them in
the court OF Austria.
Yet another thing: to send cabinet officer to
that court after the Kelley affair will bind the
Ties OF friendship between this country and
Austria most closely. Austria felt 1t an insult,
or ut least slight, To have Mr. Kelley sent there
after he had been rejected by Italy. To send a
cabinet minister there will ue accepted as high
honor and Il token or friendship.
