Means Ruiu TO MANY.

PORT WASHINGTON, Wis, Jan. IT,
The Ozaukee County bank, James w.
Vail and w. H. Landolt, proprietors,
closed its doors yesterday afternoon,
and its affairs were placed in the hands
of q. c. Claussen, of Milwaukee, a firm
of that city becoming his surety in the
sum of $4,000. This was the only
bank in the city, and MI. Vail has been
at its head for thirty years. He enjoyed
the confidence of the whole community,
and the announcement of the failure
came like thunderbolt from clear
sky. Nearly every merchant in the
city was depositor for large or small
sums. as the case might be. Farmers
throughout the adjacent country had
placed their surplus money here for safe
keeping, and county and city funds
were also on deposit. The nominal
assets are placed at SIC, 900, and the liza
bilities are estimated at $125,OO0 Mr..
Vail left the city Sunday and his
whereabouts are unknown. He was a
Spectator in grain and stocks.

WISE RECOMMENDATION.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is right about it.
The recommendations contained in the
majority report of the special railway
commission should be adopted. and the
controversy between the government
and the Pacific Railway companies
should be speedily and finally adjusted.
Through the tricks of legislation which
prevailed during the Republican as
tendency in congress. the railroad COM
panies obtained some very decided adj
vantages over the government. That
they did is matter of national regret.
But there is no use crying over spilled
milk. The wrong is done, and it can't
be undone. The wisest thing to do is to
make the most of the situation. and let
the government secure what few bene-
fits that remain.

Some of the leading Republican sena-
tors are feeling cheap about this time.
The extraordinary efforts made by
SHERMAN, EvARTs, EDMUNDs and
other presidential aSpirantS on the Re-
publican side OF the chamber to defeat
LAMAR's nomination came to grief. The
party lash was applied with all possible
Yigor, but still it failed. OF conrSe, as
everybody understood, the opposition to
LAMAR'S confirmation was an intended
dig at the CLEVELAND administration.
If LAMAR had not been member of
the CLEVELAND cabinet, the prObabili-
ties are that EDMUNDS and SHERMAN
and the rest of his opponents
would never have thought of
Offering an objection to his
confirmation. They imagined they
saw in it an excellent opportunity to
make a personal attack upon Mr..
CLEVELAND and to humiliate him in
the sight of the whole nation. Relying
on the Republican majority in the sen
ate TO sustain their personal warfare
against the president, these Republican
senators, who are bothered with bees in
their bonnetS, StroYe among themselves
as TO who should lead in the opposition
to LAMAR's confirmation. Now that
they have been oyertaken with inglori-
Gus defeat, the probabilities are that
they will fall to Quarreling with each
other as to where the responsibility of
defeat belongs. In the meantime Mr..
LAMAR will take his seat on the bench,
and Mr.. CLEVELAND will rejoice in the
satisfaction that his honest and upright
administration is stronger in the hearts
of the people than party organization
and party majOritieS.

yielded the point. The most interest
ing event of the afternoon was the intro
ductiOn by Mr.. Thompson, of Clayton,
Of resolution instructing the AnamOsa
penitentiary visiting committee to in
yestigate the charges of Warden
Martin and report to the leg
islature whether in their judg-
ment loss has been sustained by
the state and what action should be
taken to recover the same. Mr.. Wilbur
objected at first, and moved to table. A
roll call was demanded, but before it
had progressed very far the objection
was withdrawn and the resolution was
unanimously adopted. In the senate,
Senator Catch introduced resolution
providing for the appointment of a COM
mittee OF three from each house to re-
port what legislation will be necessary
to obtain from the railways reasonable
freight and passenger rates, and to
prevent discrimination, the committee
is authorized to summon persons and
papers and obtain all the evidence they
deem necessary to reach conclusion.
The resolution went to the rail-
road committee with instruction
to report tomorrow morning. Accord
ing to the proclamation of Gov. LARA
bee, with the great seal of the state at
tached, there should have been special
election for state senator in three pre-
cincts of Monroe county to-day, to
cure an alleged deficit in the
returns, which was considered
sufficient to inyalidate the election of
Senator Cassatt on Saturday. However,
the senate by a unanimous vote seated
Cassatt, and to-day nobody came out to
vote. In fact the polls were not opened.
On the other hand the governor was
served with writ of mandamus order
ing him to go on and complete the count
OF the vote for senator in CaSSatt'S dis
trict and declare the result. Cassatt's
seat is evidently safe beyond successful
assault.

POLITE BUT IGNORANT

When asked by Herald reporter
what he thought of the Reading strike
Senator {. X. DAVIS, of this state, re-
piled: IF had an opinion l would
give it TO you gladly" The senator is
noted for his politeness and generosity,
both of which beam out in his reply to
the Herald interviewer. But senatorial
politeness and individual generosity do
not stop the cracks to keep the cold out.
We are having some big billiards up
here in the Northwest, Senator. and fuel
is advancing in price right along. If
you have no opinion on the Reading
strike it is about time you were getting
one. If you don't know anything about
it we take the liberty to suggest that
you Immediately begin to study up on
the subject. There is no question that
can come before congress just at this
time of greater Importance to the
people of Minnesota than the question
of cheap coal. A little less politeness
and more hustiing is what your con-
stituents demand of you, Senator.

CREATED COMMENT.
Judge Young's Decision In the Railroad
Case.
COMMISSION KNOCKED OUT
Seems to be the General Sentiment
What Interested People Have
to Say.

= Judge YOung'S decision in the appeal
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis road in
the switching charges case, which was
published exclusively in the GLOBE
yesterday morning, created widespread
comment about Minneapolis, and espe-
eially in railroad circles, where it was
received with every expression of salts
faction. 1t was the general sentiment
that it virtually knocked out the COM
mission and threw these cases back into
court, where they belong. Last night,
principal topic of discussion, which was
not limited to railroad men by any
means.
w. j. Ives, the dairy commissioner,
was sitting in the lobby of the NicOllet
last evening, and after some little cross
examination by reporter acknowledged
that he was here in the city inveStigat-
ing the milk question. He said they had
already several strong cases against
milkmen for selling adulterated milk
and that he intended to follow the Mat
ter up and prosecute every milkman
found selling adulterated milk. He
then spoke about seeing decision of
Judge YOung's in the GLOBE of yeSter-
day and said ii that decision was final
in regard to allowing appeals to the
courts from the orders of the railroad
commission, henceforth the commission
would not amount to much.
Hon. j. c. Flynn. of Little Falls, in
speaking of the decision i'll regard to
the right of appeal to the courts from
the orders of the railroad commission,
said that it suited him exactly, and that
he never supposed before that the rail-
road commission considered themselves
above the courts. He said there was
altogether too much One-man power in
the railroad commission at present, and
he was glad to find out that the
courts still had control over them.
G. w. Case, general superintendent of
the railway company, said that Judge
Young made the best decision of his
life when he decided, Monday, that the
RAILROADS had the right to appeal to the
courts from the orders of the railroad

The River Convention.

DUBUQUE, To-, Jan. 1.-THE upper
Mississippi river convention met here
this morning to unite on ways and means
to secure independent aid and appropri-
ations from congress for the upper

navigation at the lowest. All the states
bordering on the upper river are repre-
scented. The convention will last two
days. Capt. ID. A. Mcdonald, of La
Crosse. Wis, was chosen president. On
taking the chair both the temporary and
permanent presidents spoke of the OBJ
ject of the convention, to consider the
great value and absolute needs of the
upper river. A committee of six was
appointed to confer and report upon
two bridge bills now before congress.
While waiting for the report of the
committee on resolutions, various
speeches were made on river and kim
dred subjects. Later on the committee
sent in word that they would not report

BALFOUR'S DESIGN.

1t is difficult to believe that there can
be any truth in the story that the Tory
BALFoUR who, under SALISBURY, is
responsible for the present coercive
policy in Ireland, has become so lost to
every principle of honest manhood as
to deliberately conceive a plot to i'm
prison the weakest of the Parnellite
leaders in order that their deaths, con-
sequent upon rigorous prison treatment,
may weaken the Home Rule party.
Nevertheless similar plots have been
conceived before and put into execu-
ton. Human nature has not changed a
great deal since the dark ages; and
though BALFoUE hastens to deny his
reported Intention, it is not incOnceiv-
able that there was some foundation
for the rumOr. The English people, as a
class, are great lovers of fair play, and,
even though opposed to the granting of
1reland's demands, would be the first to
denOunce Mr.. BALFoUR's murderous
design, should the rumor be substan-
tiated.
As matter of fact. the present Tory
government has inflicted as much suf-
fering and hardship upon Ireland's op-
pressors as it possibly could upon the
Parnellite leaders by the most severe
treatment in prison. 1t has made for it.
self name of lasting disgrace in Eng
lands legislative annals, and the sooner
it becomes thing of the past the better
it will be, both for EngIand's fair name
and the cause of Ireland. As for BAL.
FOUR himself, he is evidently better fit.

his own jails than he is for holding a

THE NORTHWEST FAVORED.

The Northwest hasn't much to COM
plain of in the way of the distribution
of political favorS under the CLEyE-
land administration. And certainly
Wisconsin has no ground for grumbling.
In reading over the list of senate con-
irmations on Monday we see the names
of BRAGG, Villas and DICKINSON in
the same list, one to an important for
eign mission and two to cabinet posi-
lions. 1t is true that Minnesota is not
showing up with any big slices of pie;
but then Minnesota is modest maiden
without great expectations, and what
she doesn't get in the way of political
fayors isn't grieved over. The fact is
that our Minnesota people are such a
busy set they haven't time to go office
seeking. Our Michigan and Wisconsin
neighborS have more leisure time at
their disposal. and that is why they get
there so conspIcuOusly.
