HONEST JOIN LOGAN.

There is one advantage in Gen.
LoGAN's anger. He is very uthful when
he gets very mad. He gave an illustration
of this in the senate yesterday in his bout
with TELLER. He said plainly that TEL
LER was no statesman, which all the world
knows to be truth. And then, as his anger
increased, he went step further and said
that he was no statesman himself. There is
something marvellous i'm the accuracy with
which General LOGAN hits the nail on the
head when he is right mad. He never
had a reputation for plevaricating,
it is true; but he did himself
proud yesterday in making a repu-
tation for veracity. The Democrats always
said that LOGAN was no statesman and was
not fit to be vice president, but the Repub-
lican orators shouted themselves hOarse
denying the allegation. Now Gen. LOGAN,
like brave and honest man, takes the
floor to vindicate the Democrats and de-
clares that they were right about it, for he
is no statesman. He also says that he is
not candidate for the presidency, nor does
he want any Office. AS Tonga Gen. LOGAN
stays mad he is all right and can be relied
on to stick to his position. The danger
that Mr.. BLAINE has to apprehend is that
LoGAN's wrath will expend itself before
election time. Whenever LOGAN gets in a
real good humor he has habit of going out
among the farmers buying cattle. If Mr..
BLAINE wants to know what that means
LEI him inquire of Mr.. MORRISON, who
knows all about LoGAN's cattle-buying
trick. Gen. LOGAN is quite safe in saying
that he is no statesman, for his observation
teaches him that statesmen are seldom on
the road to the White house.

The First ward is bankrupt.

On Tuesday Edward Comstock, the candi-
date for reelection in the First ward, pro-
cured copy of the First ward accounts to
disprove the charge that he had bankrupted
the ward by his lavish use of money in inn
proving Broadway, the street upon which
Aid. Comstock resides. The published state
ment that he furnished aroused the vigilance
of number of First ward citizens who were
cOnversant with the facts. They at once set
to work to demonstrate the fallacy of AID
Comstock's position. The city comptroller's
books were inspected and the fact developed
That on March /, 1884, there was in the First
ward street fund a balance of $4,000, and
that on March l, 1885, Aid. Comstock, as
chairman of the committee on roads and
bridges had overdrawn the ward fund
S1,l7S.21. The prohigate expenditures were
confined last year, so that on the first of the
present month he had overdrawn the ward
fund 50, 1l2.0S. What does this mean? Simply
that the ward owes the people to the amount
of So, liz .0S, which cannot be paid until the
June settlement occurs. Should this man be
continued in Office the ward will be in debt
fully $4,000 at the end of his term, and Aid
Comstock's property will receive the indirect
benefit, by improving streets adjacent to his
property. Such misapproprlation of the
peoples money has seldom been equaled.

A sTONECUTTERs, STRIKE.
Minneapolis to Aid the st. Pau
Strikers--The ssScabs, Union.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The stonecutterS' strike on the court house
has developed a so-caled Limestone Cutters
unIon," or rather a union opposed to union
ism. On behalf of the Minneapolis Stone
cutters union, am authorized to state that
it will recognize no such Limestone Cut
ters' union" Neither will it be recognized
anywhere throughout the country. Both
branches of the business, limestone cutting
and sandstone cutting are one and the same
everywhere. The men comprising this
"union" have stated again and again in the
GLOBE columns that they would have nothing
to do with union; also. that they were will
ing to work twelve or fourteen or any num-
Der OF hours ut the request of Mr.. Breen.
They are practically creatures in the hands
of this man Breen. Their object is to curry
favor with the employer at the expense of
those men who are demanding their just and
reasonable rights, demand indCrsed by the
Trades and Labor assembly and every labor
union in your city. This court house con-
tractor has repeatedly expressed himself
against unions. He has snubbed the repre-
sentativeS of the Trades and Labor assembly
in other words, the whole working people of
st. Paul. 1 would ask the working people of
st. Paul If such man should be allowed to
put up their public buildings? l would ask
them to see that their representatives in the
future will give no more contracts to such
man, or to any one like him, who, in their
stubborn ignorance will accede nothing to q
reasonable request, not even the commonest
forms of polteness. On behalf of the Mime
apolis Stonecutters' union, can assure our
st. Paul brothers our hearty sympathy and
mans Quarries shall be cut in this city, or
anywhere our influ ence can reach, until he
cOmplys with their demands.

MINNEAPOLIS.
NO EXCUSE.

TO the Editor of the Globe:
In your issue to-day you say that there was
no excuse for the strike in the Southwest.
viii you be kind enough TO state why it was
lnexcusable? Were the Knights of Labor not
lighting for principle when they demanded
recognition by the railway officials?
st. Paul, March 80. LABoRER.
1t was ineXcusable because in attempting
TO vindicate one man they plunged into a
fearful wrong against themselves and
against the business and trade of
the country. The strike on the
Texas Pacific was precipitated because
one man was discharged, not by the rail-
way officials, but by the receiver of the
United States court, who is only answer
able to federal authority for his conduct.
The circumstances attending HALLS dis
charge did not justify the loss of more than
a million of dollars to the employees on this
line during the last month. and the meal
culable damage that has been done to the
trade and business of continent. 1t was
ineXcusable because the strike was made in
open disregard Of the rules and regulations
of the Knights of Labor, and without au-
thority from the proper tribunal. 1t
was all the more ineXcusable because
it was extended to the Missouri
Pacific. where not even the semblance of
grievance existed. Every considerate work
ingman must admit that there is no excuse
for any movement, even though it be made
by a labor organization, which produces a
cauSeleSs disturbance in labor circles as we'll
as a loss in both industry and business.
Now as to the second inquiry of our cor
respondent. We concede that the Knights
of Labor were fighting for a principle
when they commended for recognition. And
Just here we think the railway officials
made a blunder as ineXcusable as the Knights
did in the beginning. When with an
air of mock superior and galvanized dignity
they refused to hold communication with
the leaders of the labor organization they
not only made themselves supremely ridicu-
lOus but Invested themselves of public SYM
pathy. However wrong and unjuStifable
the Knights were in the beginning they did
exactly right to protect their individual
manhood and the dignity of their order by
holding out until GOULD and HoXIE
climbed down from their perch of assumed
superiority and met the laborers on a plane
of equality. AS there was no valid excuse for
the strike, neither was there an excuse for
prolonging it, when the whole matter could
have been settled by an application of the
primary principles of common sense and
individual civility. In charging the Knights
of Labor with the want of an excuse for
the strike it is not our purpose to exculpate
JAY GOULD from his share of the blame
An intelligent public judgment will hold
both sides responsible for the injury that
has been inflicted.

THE NATIONAL NUISANCE.

This thing of soliciting funds to build
monuments is becoming pes tilential nuis-
ance. 1t has got to be so that whenever a
man who gained political or military dis
tinction in his lifetime dies, Immediately a
committee is appointed to solicit funds to
erect monument over his grave. 1t has
come to pass that the monument fund So
licitor is almost as great bore in these
days as the lightning rod man or book agent
was decade or two ago.
There is nothing wrong in the friends of
dead man erecting a monument over his
grave if they desire to testify their
respect to his memory in that way. But it
is not right to go out into all the world and
dun every man for a contribution. Ex-
penSive monuments are in bad taste at best.
The man whose heroism and patriotism
illuminate the pages of the country's history
doesn't need pile of brass or marble to
peTpetuate his memory. And the man
whose achievements are not recorded in the
nations annals doesn't need a monument.
Future generations will think nothing less
of GEORGE WASHINGTON because he sleeps
in a modest tomb on the banks of the Po-
tomac, nor Will have higher appreciation
of the elder VANDERBILT because
his colossal bronze monument stands in the
most prominent park of the great metropo-
lis. Brass and marble add nothing to a
mans fame. The only excuse then for
erecting monuments over the graves Of the
illustrious dead is that it gives an expression
of the national gratitude Such being the
case let the nation erect the monuments,
to be paid for out of the public treasury,
and save the people throughout the country
the annoyance of being everlastingly solic-
tied for contributions to this and that monu-
ment fund.
Sooner or later the national con-
gress will appropriate an amount of
money sufficient to erect a mon ument

Business on the Manitoba.

The passenger, emigrant and land bust
ness for March on the Manitoba road when
compared with the corresponding months of
in 1884 and 1885, shows handsome in
crease. There is now steady flow of set
tiers who come with means and are pre-
pared to stay. The financial condition of
most farmers in the Red River valley is
much improved over previous years. This
condition of affairs throughout that region
is largely,,the cause of the revival OF immigra-
ton. With continued reduction of the
grain rates the condition of the people in
the Red River valley especially. and the
Northwest generally. is bound TO improve
and Minnesota will stand in the position as
the only state in the Union which can pro-
duce small grains in large quantities at a
profit. Immigration is rapidly increasing

Syllabus-It is error in the district court to
make an order requiring party to answer
written iuterrogations prepared BY the oppo-
site party. A demand by the holder OF q
warehouse or elevator receipt for grain de-
posted for storing for the amount called for
by the receipt is good, Notwithstanding tn at
by reason of removal of grain by the ware
houseman there is not enough left in store
TO answer all the receipts. If a warehouse
man having in his warehouse wheat deposited
by others for storing shipped il without their
consent on the cars for Chicago, took bills of
loading IN which the bank Of K was named
as consignee, drew his drafts on the parties
in Chicago for whom the wheat was destined,
procured the bank TO discount them, deliver
ing TO II the bills of lading as security for
them, the bank Endorsed the bills in blank
and forwarded them with the drafts to its
correspondents in Chicago. and the latter on
payment of the drafts delivered the bills of
lading to the drawer. Held that this did not
render the bank liable, as for a conversion to
the owners of the wheat. Held, also, that

in the dsposing of the wheat. knowing that
he was doing il wrongfully, is liable TO the

galleries before since they started
and the nights contest was marked by
more squirting than the two previous even
ings. Snowden went on TO the track fresh,
and at once started on a squirt that soon
added another 10 the six laps that he al
ready held ahead of Boyst. Boyst. few
minutes later, spurted, followed by Gamble,
and they both gained lap on Smith and
Cole. A few minutes before o o'clock
SnOwden. Boyst, Cole and Gamble started
out and gained lap on Smith. Cole was
suffering from swollen knee, which he
hurt in fall Tuesday night. At the same
time he sprained the tendOns of
his right ankle. which gave him
much trouble. Gamble, who was
six laps behind Cole; saw the latter's condi-
ton and began to take advantage of il,
and when the bell struck for the skaters to
leave the floor he had recovered the six
laps and was skating neck and neck with
the Minneapolis boy. who stuck pluckily to
his work and fought bravely against the
odds that were against him. During this
squirt Boyst and Smith gained three laps
and Cole and Snowden gained four, and
few minutes later Snowden rolled
up two more, which placed him
twelve laps ahead of BOyst, who
had won second place and was rustling to
keep out OF the reach of Gamble.
SnOwden's magnificent speed, called forth
shouts and wild applause from the audi
ence, who urged him on with yells of 'git
there, you dandyr' sneak" ''ain't he a
daisy?" Several ladies were among the
auditors. and they manifested a deep in
terest in the contest. The miles made BY
