Doings in the Reichstags-.Sever
Sentences supposed on Socialists.
BERLIN, Nov. 26.-In the reichstag TO-
day the president, vice presidents, and Sec
retaries of the last reichstag were reelected.
On motion of DR.. Windthorsk, debate on
first reading of the budget was fixed for the
3Oth inst. The Leipsic court has sentenced
the socialists, Thenert and Bohlmann, to
two years; Kissing to two and half
years, and Schumaan to four years impris-
onment at hard labor. for fomenting a riot
on Sept 26. The severity of the sentence
has caused general surprise, as the prison
ers were only taking part in demunstra-
ton when arrested. The Hamburger Bor-
senhalle announces that the German and
English steamship companies have
MADE AN AGREEMENT
respecting the carrying of emigrants.
Hepceforth all emigration agents will be
under the control of chief agent residing
at Hamburg. and the companies establish
fixed differential rates. Under the agree
ment the German Lloyds Hamburg-Am
can company and Union have raised their
rates to ito. 100 and 80 marks respectively,
the English lines charging 85 marks. Herr
Won Horn, proprietor of the Berlin Borsen
Zeitung. is dead. Mime. Pauline Lucca,
who has been seriously ill. is now recover
ing, and will soon reappear in opera at
Vienna. The government has decided to
dissolve the reichstag if itrelect the military
estimates.
Editor Prohl has been sentenced by the
supreme court to nine years Imprisonment
for treason. 1t was proved that he supplied
France. through Capt. Sarauwus, with Ger
man military and naval secrets. Herr

reichstag, has been elevated to the Prussian

HARDLY THE NAN.

The rumor that has been floating around
Washington to the effect that the name of
Mayor AMEs has been in consideration as
governor of Dakota will hardly receive
much credence out here in the Northwest.
There is only one governorship for which
the genial mayor has been an aspirant, and
he will hardly 90 out from among people
who looked So kindly upon his aspirations
as to cut down in his behalf by nearly
forty thousand votes Republican majority
hitherto regarded as rock rooted. Besides
that Minneapolis needs Mayor AMEs. Both
as a citizen and as a municipal official he is
too valuable a resident to send away from
home into voluntary exile, even if the
principle of appointment of actual resi-
dents to territorial positions was not recOg-
nized by President CLEVELAND. Mayor
AMEs has probably no inclination whatever
to leave Minnesota in an official or any
other capacity, and Mmnesotians would
certainly regret to see him do so. So far
5 the Dakota governOrship is really con-
,erned, National Committeeman DAY seems
to have the inside track and will. to all ap-
pearance, distance all competitors with

BLAINE'S BAD RRE AK.

If Mr.. BLAINE reads One-half of the scor-
ings which he is receiving just now from
the various journals of the country, ire
spective of party affiliations. regarding his
action toward Senator EDMUNDs at the frl-
neral of the late CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
his time is fully if not agreeably occupied.
There never was a more churliSh exhibition
of bad taste or ill-advised neglect of every
principle of good breeding than the man
from Maine was guilty of. and it is beyond
question that he will be made to feel the
effect Whatever may have been the
self and the senator, when, in the house of
the dead, they were brought together and
Mr.. EDMUNDs indicated willingness to let
past differences be forgotten, the least Mr..
BLAINE could have done would have been
to treat man fully as reputable and dis
tinguished as himself with ordinary
civility. 1t is not at all likely that Senator
EDMUNDs will, as a result of the snub-
bing. be any more enthusiastic in his sup
port of Mr. BLAINE two years hence should
the latter become the presidential nominee
of the Republican party. In fact, there is
a possibility that Mr.. BLAINE will be
taught a lesson in good manners through
the loss of Vermont's electoral votes in the
next election, and it is not according to
human nature to suppose that Mr.. Ed
MUNDs will exert himself very vigorously
to prevent the detection.

SOCIAL ROTTN HIGH LIFE.

The shocking depravity of social life that
exists among the British nobility finds a
lamentable illustration in the details of the
proceedings in the Lord COLIN CAMPBELL
divorce case in London yesterday. But one
of the most notifying features of this par
tlcular case Is that it is the result of mar
rage between the depraved nobility of Brit
ain and the equally depraved slum of
American society. The woman who figures
as the heroine of the scandal and who Is
suing for divorce from her noble lord is no
other parsonage than the illegitimate daugh-
ter of VICTORIA Woodruff and the noted
Col. BLOOD. late apostles of free loveism in
America 1t will be remembered that a
few years ago Mrs. Woodruff went to
Europe and succeeded. in the true style of
an American adventures, in marrying her
daughter to the son of the Duke of Argyll,
and her sister, TENNIE CLAFLtN, to Lon
don banker. The defendant in this scan
daleus divorce case is brother of the late
governor general of Canada, and son-in-law
of Queen VICTORIA.

GOSSIP IN THE CORRIDORS.

Representative William E. Lee and Clerk
Elect of the Supreme Court Jones, of Long
Prairie, were at the Merchants yesterday
evening. Mr.. Lee did not appear with any
necktie. The rem TX was made that he was
handsome enough without one. in which he
family acquiesced.
-
Clerk Jones says he will have J. L. Helm,
of Luverne, for his deputy. Mr.. Helm has
been county superintendent of schools OF
Rock county, and during the last session he
was the assistant secretary of Mr.. Jones in
the senate.
John Howard, of Sank Centre, is not trying
to get the secretaryship of the senate. He is
so accustomed to the house that he wants the
Office of clerk of the lower house. Three
competitors are in the canvass against him
Judge of Probate Robert Deakin, of Rec
Wing, who was his assistant during the last
session. Burkdahl. of Pipestone, and McCar
thy, Of Minneapolis.
~
The fight for this Office had been kept be-
tween Howard and Deakin for some time an6
had generally ended by compromise. Last
session Deakin refused to compromise, and
got left. The judge says there will be nc
compromise, however, this time and he feels
confident that none will be necessary, be
cause he is going to get there.

Upon the efficiency of the officers of the
legislature depends the smooth progress OF
the legislative work." philosophical gentle
man at the Merchants. The name of Der
tram, of Monticello, was then referred to. Il
was limited by Ex-Secretary Jones that Mr.
Bertram would make an excellent engrossine
clerk once more. 1.-THE only objection tc
Mr.. Bertram,' interposed Senator d. S. Hall,
of Bird Island, ex-receiver of the Benson
land office. ''is that no sooner would he be in
stalled than he would commence to make &
caricature of granger riding bull" Mr.
Bertram is a very clever artist.
49,
Senator Hall left his land Office to attend to
his farm and become state senator. Now
he thinks the land Office business was the
finest business in the federal line until the
change of administration.
M
His uamesake, o. NJ. Hall, of Red Wing, sat
conversing with Attorney Campbell, of the
Manitoba road. Ex-senator Hall is alarmed
for fear he may be called to account for the
mistakes of Senators Hall, of Bird Island, anG
Hall. of Granite Falls. By the way. he says
he will continue to write Red Wing editorial:
not for compensation, but to educate the
public.

Attorney Campbell told a good story upon
Ignatius Donnelly. Donnelly went to Morris
to make a speech, he said. He saw Mr.. Camp.
bell in the audience and beckoned to him tt
come upon the platform. Campbell did So
Dounelly then commenced his TRADE of abuse
upon Jim Hill, of the Manitoba, and incident
ally referred to Mr.. Campbell as being a rail
road man, although pretty good fellow. Mr.

MITNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.

Whatever else may result from the dis
eusson of the Ontario plan, one benefit that
has been derived from agitating the subject
is in directing public attention to the neces-
sity for placing a limitation on municipal
Indebtedness. So fOrcibly has this neces-
sitv impressed itself on the public mind
that in a great many states there is a con-
stitutiunal provision prohibiting municipal
governments from creating debt beyond a
certain per cent. of the valuation of the
taxable property within the limits of the
municipality. In Illinois and other states
the limit of municipal indebtedness is fixed
at per cent. of the assessed valuation of
property. The wisdom of this provision is
so apparent that no one is disposed to con-
trovert it. 1t is not only safeguard 10
property holders against the extravaganza
and corruption which has cursed many
cities, but it is also a protection to city's
credit. The fact that a municipal govern
ment cannot contract an indebtedness ex-
ceeding per cent. Of the assessed valua-
ton of its property gives solidity
to the city's securities that will always
float them up to and above par. There
have been no instances of municipal ex-
travagance occurring in Minnesota of suf-
ficient Importance to attract the attention of
the people of the state to the necessity for
embodying provision in the state consti-
tuition placing Limitation on municipal in
debtedness. But the discussion of the
proposition to introduce the Ontario plan in
connection with our system of local i'm
movements. and the prospect of an i'm
mense debt being piled up by issuing the

improvement debentures. has served to
awaken public attention to the dangers of
not being protected by such constitutional
safeguard. The cities of Minnesota may
continue to get along as well in the future
without such provision in the state con-
stitution as they have in the past, but there
is just enough risk involved in the expert
ment to justify movement in favor of
such measure. And while we are con-
sidering ways and means to secure legisla-
ton appropriate to the wants of our princi-
pal cities, may it not be as well to ask for
the submission of constitutional amend
ment embodying limitation to municipal
indebtedness.
