- It is said that Senator Buchanan will
secure the surveyor-generalship from
Senator Washburn as promised pay.
ment for support rendered the latter
in his race against Sabin for the posi-
ton he now holds. The claim, of
course, is made by the Sabin organs of
the state, and they probably know as
much about it as the Review does, and
the Review could vouch for nothing.
1t does not know that Buchanan
wouldn't do such thing, nor does it
know that he would. Perhaps he might,
and in all probability he might not.
From simply watching his action at the
time of Washburn's election, is it natural
to conclude that Buchanan was bought?
Did it appear then, before there was
any office in sight, that he was not 10y
al TO Sabin? Did he not stand by the
Saltwater man until after the caucus
had decided for Washburn? If we re-
member right he did, and now, be-
cause he abided by the diclsion of that
caucus, he is accused of being unloyal
and of being bought. The charge is
about the same as that made against
Garfield and Foraker, because, when
they saw that their men in the national
conventions could not be elected, they
gave their support to the winning side.
@ III. T. r -
That's just what Buchanan did and we
believe it was perfectly proper for him
to do SO. Still it is not impossible that
he may have been Influenced by prom
Use of favor, but for all that we do not
see why papers should SO recklessly
charge bribery to a man, when they
do not accompany the charges with
positive proof.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-01-08

Half of the Doodle charges that are
being thrown here and there with but
little regard as to whom they hit, are
all imaginary and without foundation.
It is as easy for some papers to accuse q
man of being bribed or of having bought
support, as it is to say anything else Of
him. The charge no longer seems to
have any weight with the person who
makes it, but is uttered only for the
harm ii will do the victim and not for
the good it will do the public. That
it should be so, does not speak well for
our papers.

The January number of the North
American Review promises to be a
drawing card, from the fact that it's
columns will be devoted to the discus
sion of the protection idea versus the
free trade doctrine by two such contra
ry disciples of either as James G. Blaine
and William Ewart Gladstone. The
expressions of each will of course be
their very best. They will be valuable,
because they represent the arguments
of statesmen and men schooled in ma
tionai affairs, instead of the theories of
college presidents and Students, and
because they are made by the leaders
in politics of two countries, one of
which is free trade realm and the
other protective republic. Each of
the writer's is we'll acquainted with the
effects of the principles, which he adj
vocates, upon his country, and each is
well fitted to bring forth the best ar
guments that can be presented for this
or that belief. The discussion will be
interesting and valuable therefore, and
should receive the attention of all who
find it possible.

AS yet no valid reason has been given
why the Australian system of voting
should not be put into usage all over
the country, and the one from Senator
German, of Maryland, is no better than
the rest. He is democrats thorough
democrat-and in speech before few
of his democratic brethren recently, he
said that the bill ought to be labelled
one tor throwing the whole democratic
party out of power. He said also that it
had been tried in Boston, Minneapolis,
and other places disastrous with results
to the democrats. Now that is it exact
ly. Wherever there is corruption prac-
tised, the new system is such that it
will find it out. 1t does not permit of
manipulation and crooked work at the
polls. 1t was passed expressly to pre-
vent such bosses and political ringsters
as German and his gang from
coercing the voter from casting his bal
lot just as he cares or pleases. II the
democrats are losing ground through
the Australian method, it is an evidence
then that they are weak, except where
they are strong through dishonesty.
German seems to admit this. He is
one of them and ought to know. We do
not mean to say that the whole party is
opposed to the new rule. Far from it..
There are many within its ranks who
are absolutely in favor Of reform; who
are completely disguised with the rot
tenness ofour present elections; and who
will welcome the passage Of bill SINH
lar to the Australian. 1t is only the
class of men, of which German is a
good Representative and who run things
with high-handed disregard for all hon
esty and purity, that keep back all re-
form and at the same time their own
party The plain fact that they do not
like the law, should encourage all
workers for ballot reform to double
their efforts in having it made a nation
al one.

Lind may not be a Mckinley or a
Carlisle, but just the same he is doing
some mighty good work in Congress.
This is satisfaction enough for us, and if
our democratic brethren find anything
to gloat over in surmising that the flu
ture will not make him the greatest
statesman Of the age, they are welcome
to it. We know that Lind is good
enough, and that is all we want to
know.

The Winona Republican suggests
that Gov. Merriam shall appoint to the
vacancies, soon to occur on the board
of trustees Of the state insane hospitals,
''at least one who is possessed of a
thorough medical or scientific educa-
tion.' Well, what's the matter with
ex-superintendent Bowers? He lays
claims TO being one of that kind, and
now that he is out of the institution he
might be willing to give some valuable
pointers that would go far to correct
existing abuses. ..,.S

The Democrats of Montana have Sc
lected as their choice of Senators W. A.
Clark and Martin McGinnis. The for
mer is a millionaire and the latter is
spoken of as an able man, who carries
a face like Blaines. The Republicans
have elected Col. Sanders and Tom
Power. Sanders is a lawyer of eminent
ability, while Power is recognized as
one OF the best qualified men in Mon
tana. It will be for the United States
Sens te to decide between them.

If Mr.. Lind succeeds in securing the
passage of his bill providing for a
decision of the y. S. court district into
six subdivisions with terms at St. Paul,
Minnea polls, Duluth, Mankato. Winona
and Fergus Falls, he will certainly have
earned the title to an excellent record.
The bill is the most meritorious of any
yet proposed, both because of the con-
venience it will afford to all parts of
the state and because of it's light ex-
pense as compared with an additional
district. The latter arrangement would
necessitate a new jud ge, a new mar
shall and an attorney and would be far
more CT a tax upon the people than that
offered by Mr.. Lind, but still it is fav-
ored and urged by the strength of St.
Paul and Minneapolis for the reason
that if passed it would make them jud-
icial centres. There will be some hard
work done to knock out our representa-
tives measure and if he comes out of the
big end of the horn with an az for sub
divisions, he will have won victory,
we say, that will entitle him to the OBJ
legations of all the country districts
and that will give him record, which
when tapped off by that land decision,
will compare favorably with that of any
of our force in Congress-.

If it is so that Harrison's admins
tration is not quite up to snuff, we
would be glad to have our democratic
friends state wherein it needs to be i'm.
proved upon. We hope however that
when they do so, that Mrs. Harrison
will not be considered as part of this
administration. Her methods of treat
ing guests with wine, and of discharg-
ing cooks and servant girls without
strictly adherins to civil service rules
are not supposed 10 be of vital impor-
lance to the country, and we would
have them bear this in mind.

Geo. f. Potter. the Houston county
politician. connected in legislative lis.
tory with Donnelly, Tosten johnson
and other notables, at one time high
mogul in his own district, but of late
pretty small person, has been given a
position as door-keeper in the ladies'
gallery Of the Senate at $1,000 year.
Why Potter should condescend to accept
such paltry job, is more than we can
understand, unless it is that he finds
Minnesota too small for him and seeks
for national fame If such is the case,
the position of servant in legislative
body hardly seems to be the right place
to start. But then, Potter is perhaps
like Caesar. He would rather be num-
Der one in a mud-hole than second in
Rome.

Poor John Lind! How it must wor-
ry him to know that he doesn't suit the
editor of the greatest paper in the
Minnesota Valley! How it must grieve
him to hear that the great moral re-
former of Brown County is>not exactly
satisfied with all his actions! How it
must bother him to feel that column
after column in one of the rankest dem
cratic papers of the state is devoted to
telling how he could improve upon him
self! Seems 10 us, that, if we were
John Lind, we would feel like resign
irg in favor of this same editor and
moral reformer.

THE "ARGUS" LEVY.

Lawyers Preparing to Realize on the
Concerns Outstanding Accounts.
The news of the levy made by the
Sheriff on the Argus Company yesterday
created quite little surprise, although
everybody expected crisis sooner or
later
The lawyers in whose hands had been
placed the claims of the creditors of the
concern, when seen this morning, did not
like to say anything further than that
they were taking active steps to protect
their clients, but just what these steps
were they naturally refused to reveal.
The lawyers do not expect to realize
anything on the plant of the concern, as
1t is mortgaged for much more than it is
worth; but they hope to recover some
thing from the book accounts and unpaid
balances due for job work. The labor,
claims. however, being preferred, may
consume considerable part of these.
An effort was made to obtain Manager
Charles s. Clarke's statement regarding
the troubles of the concern, but he could
not be seen, as he was in consultation
with Mayor Cleveland and President
SOmers, of the street and Water Board.
The four preSsmen who refused to go to
work on the rat Argus yesterday morn
Ing until they were paid wages owing to
them by the proprietor, will look for other
situations. As they could get no satisfac-
WI 3ceteCtAiSAU dc W WnCA tllC4 NOQld ScL
their money. they concluded to put their
claims into the hands of lawyer for coli
lection
One of the men talked to O NEWS re-
porter last evening, and in the course of
conversation said:-.I made up my mind
to get out of the A7glts because I could
not put up with the way in which the
proprietor pays off. On Saturday / would
get dollar instead of weeks wages
and then fifty cents would be
doled out one day, twenty-five cents the
next, and ten and even five cents on sub
sequent occasions when we bothered the
proprietor too much to suit his retiring
disposition-when somebody wants HIM
to settle bill
This morning he got SO mad because
we asked him for our wages that he tele-
phoned to Police Headquarters for a
policeman. AS we did not wish to give
him any chance TO abuse us still further
with trumpery disorderly charges, we
quietly walked out We won't go back,
but will get our earnings through law
yer who will push our claims in the
proper place ,,

sey City introduced into both houses OF
the Legislature this evening. In the SEN
ate Mr.. Mcdonald introduced measure
which gives the Board of Finance power
to refund maturing bonds at lower rate
of interest than they now bear. A bill
having the same object in view was in
troduced in the House in the early part of
the session, but it appears to have gone
to sleep in committee, as nothing has
been n card from it since.
In the House Mr.. Mullone introduced a
measure authorizing the Board of Finance
to make an additional appropriation for
the lighting of streets.
BY the round about way of Mr.. Voor-
hees, of Elizabeth, bill giving the Di-
rector-at-Large more autocratic power
popped up its head in the House The
bill Is in the nature of supplement to
the Freeholders act of last year, and pro-
vides that the Director-at- Large shall
have no vote except in case of a tie, and
that he shall have the power to veto or
disaDprove any claim passed by the Board.
1t also provides that it shall require q
two-thirds vote of the members of the
Board to pass the claim over the veto.
Mr.. Marsh introduced bill which ex-
tends the time for the completion of rail
roads two years beyond the time now
for some local road in Elizabeth, but it is
applicable to any road now building or
about to be built in the State.
Mr.. Usher raised ripple of laughter
in the House when he introduced his bill,
giving stone cutters and marble workers
a lien on all headstones, monuments and
other M aterial which they have furnished.
The idea of going into graveyard with
lien upset the gravity of the House.

A Railway Detectives Outrageous AR
rest of JewelIer Malliet.
There was lively scrimmage on the
sidewalk in front of Judge Douglas court
this morning. Mr.. Malliet, the jeweller,
sued Chris Hanson, detective on the D..
l.. & w. r. R.. for balance due him on a
watch. Although the evidence showed
conclusively that there was a balance due
Malliet, he was non-suited because his
counsel failed to name the number and
the movement of the watch.
Mr.. Malliet left the courtroom in no
amiable frame of mind and upon reach
ing the sidewalk he espied Hanson and
demanded the watch.
What watch?" asked Hanson.
THAT watch,' said he, putting his
hand on the chain. Hanson then
grabbed M. Malliet by the collar and
dragged him to the First Pecinct Station
House, where he preferred charge of
larceny against him.
Before Judge Stilsing Hanson refused
to make a complaint, but Mr. Bissell,
counsel for Mr.. Malliet, who happened to
be present, insisted on Hanson making
the charge and charge of larceny was
preferred.
Mr.. Malliet was paloled on his own
recognizance, but before going he made a
charge of assault and battery against
Hanson.

The annual meeting of the Improved
Land and Loan Association at the Ave-
nua House last evening was a spirited
one. The election for officers attracted
nearly one hundred members, and there
was great hustlng for votes. Two tickets
were in the field, and the friends of each
worked for their favorites with zeal
that would have done credit to well
regulated primary.
President James H. Small was easily
reelected over Charles f. Staples, and
Vice President A. Il. Rouse was reelected
without opposition. The contest for sec
retary, between ID. II. Blackham and
Fred. Klein, both new men, was exciting,
but the former got there. Richard J.

elected as follows:-D Directors, A. j. Nc
Donald, Henry Puster, James KERN and
Hugh McManon. Appraisers:-Wi illiam

down to Thomas Gardner at premium
of $3.50 per share, and another of three
shares to DR. l.. Mcbride commanded the
same premium.

Senator Cranmer Bases a Real
Election Reform OH Sheriff
Davis Suggestions.
Special to ne Jerseu Citu Mems

TRENTON, March II. 1890 When Sheriff
testified before the Senate Investigating
Committee last week he said that the
great trouble with the election officers in
Jersey City was that good men could not
be induced to perform the duties OF the
office at the present rate OF pay. The
sheriff also intimated that if the election
officers were paid a higher salary there
was no doubt that better men could be
secured. Senator Cranmer, acting upon
this suggestion, introduced a bill into the
Senate this evening which II passed viii
do away with the difficulty mentioned by
the sheriff.
The bill provides that in all cities of the
first class the judge and inspectors OF

A JURY COMMISSION ROW.
Senator Gardner Makes a Stump
Speech Republicans Pass
the Bill.
snecial 3 the Jerseu citu Me,rs.

TRENTON, March 1s, 1s90.-The Jury
Com missioner bill came up in the Senate
on final passage. I provoked an eloquent
delight. Mr.. Mcdonald moved it be laid
over and Mr.. Adrain objected and wanted
to know how it got out of the Committee
on Revision of Laws, as he had heard
nothing of it, The matter W as ex
planned to Mr.. Abrams satisfac-
tion. He sat down. Mr.. Mcdonald
said that he believed that a majority of
the people of the State felt that such a
mode of selecting jurors was not right.
From time immemorial it has been the
right of the Sheriff to select the panel of
petit jurors; There can be no excuse in
from the Sheriff his ancient
prerogative. There may be in
stances when Sherifis have not
done their duty, but the people have the
power to correct them. The Circuit Court
can discharge juries which they think
nave been improperly drawn. Hudson
has had experience with these Commits
sioners while they were in power. The
debt was heaped upon Jersey City"
GARDENERS STUMP SPEECH.
Senator Gardner said that this was the
same bill which was passed two years
ago, the same reason exists for it's pas
sage today as did then, and subsequent
A
derided the ancient prerogative idea and
said that the Sheriff instead of being the
high official he is said to be has come to
be a member of cliques and rings giving
immunity to the members Of the ring to
which he belongs.
The bill repeating the Jury Commission
law was conceived with criminal intent,
and has reaped harvest of crime. 1t was
difficult to understand, he said, why any
one should object to taking this power
from the hands of political ringers, SO
that the criminals who have served them
can be punished
Senator Wyckoff, of Warren, said that
under the commissions a worse state of
affairs existed in Warren, ana the Com
missioners used to send out letters ask
ing for names for jurors and what their
politics were.
M'DoNALD IN REPLY.
Senator Mcdonald, replying to Gard
ner, scored him soundly for his refer
ence to politicians, and said if Mr.. Gard
ner was not politician he could not
have represented his party so well and so
long in the Senate. Werts spoke again st
the reversal of the practices of ages for a
makeshift like the BILL
All the election schemes of the Repub-
lican party were schemes of centralizar
ton. To place the power in the hands Of
a few disfranchises the people.

The Senate passed also the house bill
to divert the riparian receipts from the

the Democrats and five Republicans voted
for it. It now goes to the Governor.
