WILLIAM WINDOW.

WILLIAM WINDOW, secretary of the
treasury, died last night very suddenly
in New York city. He was formerly
United States senator from this state.
and has twice been called to the posi-
ton he occupied at the time OF his
death. His standing before the public
has perhaps been more prominent than
that of any man from Minnesota with
the exception of ALEXANDER RAMSEY,
and the list of his honOrS and achieve
ments in the service of his country is
long and full. He did valiant work for
the interests of this commonwealth
while he represented it in Washing
ton, and in the wider and more
eXactlng sphere to which his eXecu-
tive duties have called him his admin
iStratiou has been conservative, faith
full and effective. The secretaryship OF
the treasury, although outranked in
legal order by the portfolio of state, has
since the civil war been the most impor-
tant of cabinet positions, and has made
the most serious demands for industry
and capacity in its incumDents. The
SITdlH Vi It's responsiveness anu "a
actions proved too great for the strength
of that noble Democrat, DANIEL MAN
MING, who undertook the work under the
administration of GROVER CLEVELAND;
and our own fellow citizen has now given
his life in the service of the country III
the same department.
The success, high character and abil-
ity Of WILLIAM WINDOW have brought
credit to the state of his home and resi-
dence; and the GLOBE, along with the
whole people of Minnesota, regrets his
untimelY death,

THE DISTRICT PLAN.

However irrational the anticipation,
the neutral demeaner of the adminiStra-
ton in regard to the force bill has its
impulse chiefly in partisan advantage
to be obtained III the presidential cleo
ton. One OF the retaliatory suggestions
has been for the legislatures III some OF
the Northern states not controlled by
the Republicans, as they usually have
been, to adopt the district system of
choosing the presidential electors. A
bill of this kind is before the Ohio legis-
lature. and will be pressed i'll the now
improbable event of the passage OF the
bill that has lately been run ON to
switch in the senate. Each congress
sional district would then choose one
elector, and the two for the state would
be elected on general ticket. The
Democrats might lose the state. as the
districts now are, and still have ff-
teen of the tWenty-three electoral
votes. Wisconsin and Michigan by
this plan would divide their votes, even
if the Republicans should unexpectedly
be able to regain those states. The
Southern states would remain solid for
the Democrats i'll spite of all congress
sional enactmentS, if not by virtue OF
them, and the North would be divided.
The Democrats would be too confident
of New Jersey and Indiana to be will
ing to divide them. and New York and
Connecticut are deadlOcked, like 1lli
nois, between the parties. 1t is not be-
lieved there will be any serious effort to
adopt this policy in any state unless the
force bill should show another spasm of
vitality and battle all rational theories.
But aside from any relation to Washing
ton matters, it is believed that outside
of New York there would be pretty
general applause in both parties
if the great pivotal state would
abdicate its station by the adoption
of the district system. In that event
its electoral vote would be pretty nearly
equally divided between the parties,
and both released from its dictatorial
constraint. Since the present organiza-
ton of parties the demand that New
York must have one of the places on
the presidential ticket to save its vote
has been constant, and rarely disre-
garded. In 1884 the Republicans looked
elsewhere, and New York defeated
them. That state, however. is not dis
posed to abate any of its perquisltes as
the arbiter of national results. No
state is likely to adopt the district sys-
tenn. Whatever its merits, it would be
misfortune TO the country to have so
important change in methods given
place OH mere partisan grounds. The
fanaticism that presses the force bill
would be full of mischief if it were not
so clearly antagonized by public senti-

not TO be encouraged among the
young 1t should not be inferred from
this that the courts intend to discourage
matrmony. Nothing could be further
from the truth. If the GLOBE may pre-
sumo to interpret their position, they
probably think that such an impeachment
as this put IN the way of connubial bliss
will add very much to the keenness OF
the pleasure when it is once secured.
This view is undoubtedly sound, how
ever much hardship it may seem to
work in individual cases. The only
criticism to be made on it is that Judge
KERR has perhaps overlooked the fact
that in FLINT VS.. FLINT, had a divorce
been granted, ARTHUR might thereupon
have contracted second union with
some one who has never been married
at all. In attempting, therefore, to hold
him down to periods of three years each.
he may unintentionally be depriying
some fair woman of an opportunity for
which she has been waiting very much
longer time. Judge KERR may be stern
and severe, but he is not cruel, and per-
haps if his attention is called to this in
the proper way he may grant a rehear-
ing in the case.

FLINT VS.. FLINT.


A very important judicial decision
has just been handed down by Hon.
CHARLES D. KERR, one of the judges OF
our district couIt. 1t is in the case of
FLINT VS.. FLINT, in which ARTHUR
FLINT has been endeayoring to eXtri
cate himself from the matrimonial
bonds which unite him to another
FLINT whose Christian name is MIN
ME. 1t appears from the pleadings on
file that ARTHUR and MINNIE were mar
ried some two years ago, when he was
but twenty and she just past seventeen,
and that honeymoon of ten days dura
ton followed the wedding. During all
of this MINNIE treated her lord and
master, to quote the vigorous language
OF the complaint, ''in a very cross man
ner," and at the end of it left him, never
to see him more.
Now, it seems that ARTHUR. who was
a good enough boy in other respects,
had forgotten in his natural agitation at
entering on the marital state to ask his
mothers permission, and there is an
express provision in the statutes of
Ohio. where the union was contracted,
that such breach of filial piety in one
so young as ARTHUR vitiateS the entire
proceedings. ARTHUR now lives in st.
Paul, and local lawyer. with the cum
ming of his craft, applied to our vigor-
GUS soldier judge to let the young man
go free because of this informality in
his matrimonial campaign.
1t would probably have been better
for ARTHUR had his plea been ad-
dressed to more sympathetic ear,
like that of genial Judge EGAN,
or a younger one. like that of
Judge CORNISH. As it is, Judge KERR
has sternly refused to release him, and
in several legal formulas finds that he
is entitled to no relief. His decision
gives no reasons, SO unfeeling is the
law, but in an extra judicial memoran-
dunn the court says: Il think it will
do this young man no harm to be pre-
vented by his marriage from making a
repetition of his matrimonial escapade
until the expiration of the three years
necessary TO entitle him to divorce ON
the ground of desertioR"
The widest publicity should be given
to this ruling, because Judge KERR
knows the law Of this state, if any man
does. 1t may therefore be taken as
settled that by the Minnesota code
marriages at more frequent inter
walls than once in three years are

TO-DAY THEY BOOM.
Cherokee Strippers Ready for the
Fray.

CALDWELL, Kan, Jan. 29.-Not since
the opening of Oklahoma have such
scenes been enacted upon the streets
of this city as were seen last evening.
The streets are actually crowded with
people, who are waiting anXiously for
to-morrow's dawn to march for the
Cherokee strip, and take possession of
claims. This is the headquarters of the
Dill-O'Connor colony of Cherokee BOOM
ers, and its members have been flocking
here for two weeks past in authorization
of to-day'S invasion. Only well-equipped
farmers have been admitted to member
ship in the colony, and the boomers
present decidedly more prosperous
appearance than did the Oklahoma
boomers.
CALDWELL. Kan, Jan. 29.-The in
yasion of the Cherokee strip from this
point to-day was not an organized move
ment. The officers of the O'Connor-
Dill colony advised all the boomers to
keep out of the strip until it should
be formally opened by the government.
Notwithstanding this advice many of
the boomers started for the strip on
their own account and staked off
claims. the statement that troops
had been ordered to this point to pre-
vent all invasion is found to have been
untrue. No troops have as yet put in
an appearance, but it is expected that
all who have entered the land prema-
tureiy will be elected by the govern

HIS FAMILY TOLD.
The Shock Terrible One to Wife

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The an
nouncement of the sudden death of See
rotary Window in New York tonight
gave almost as great a shock to his
official friends and associates as
did the shooting of President Gar
field to the members of his official
household. 1t was SO terribly sudden
and unexpected that all who heard the
news were profoundedly shocked and so
overcome as to be unable to express the
grief they felt. AS soon as the tele-
gramme bearing the sad inteiii-
gence was received, the con-

icated to President Harrison at the
White house. He was in the library at
the time talking with Mrs. Harrison,

he was greatly distressed and almost
completely overcome. He immediately
ordered his carriage and went at once
to the house of the postmaster gen
eral but a few blocks away, where
a cabinet dinner had been in progress
and from which he had returned but a
few minutes before. A reception had
followed the dinner. SO the guests had

Brakes and COuplers.

The house committee Oh railroads
yesterday afternoon discussed II. f. 46,
a bill requiring railroads to equip en-
gines with air brakes, and cars with
automatic couplers. The master car
builders of several railroads were pres
ent and testified, as did also a repre-
sentative of the Westinghouse Air
Brake company. Tom Lucas, of Min
neapolis, the labor leader, was also
present. The committee decided
to recommend the passage of the
bill, first, however, amending it
as follows: The time when all
engines operating in this state
must be equipped with air brakes was
extended from 1892 to 1885, the time
when all cars must be furnished with
automatic couplerS was extended from
1894 to 1896. An air brake costs ST, and
the automatic coupler 1913. and the az
gregate expenditure to be incurred by
the railroads can be estimated from the

THE GRAND JURY.

The grand jury adjourned yesterday
sine die, after indicting the usual num-
Der of petty offenders. In addition to
this, 1t has found true bills against the
proprietOrS of several hotels in which,
it is alleged, gambling has been going
on from time to time, and against the
county abstract clerk for failing to turn
over promptly to the treasurer the fees
which he has collected for his public
services. 1t also has presented to the
court an exceedingly we'll written re-
port, in which it severely criticises the
management of the abstract Office, the
method of bookkeeping employed III the
different departments in reference to the
payment of jury fees and the present
system of collecting liquor licenses.
The jury was composed OF men of eX-
ceptionally high character and ability.
EMERSON W. PEET was its foreman,
and with him were associated citizens
like J. J. MCCARDY, TIMOTHY REAR
DON, CHARLES p. MOVES, JOSEPH
Jockey and CHARLES NICHOLS. They
have all given great deal of attention
to their work, and undoubtedly have
covered the ground as completely as the
time they had would permit. lndicting
men is serious business, because, even
if no conviction follows, the subsection
to a trial cannot but affect mans
standing somewhat before the COM
munity, and citizens character should
not be unnecessarily assailed, even by
grand jury. The recommendations
which conclude this iury'S work are
couched in language of some elasticity
and intolerance, which suggests an un-
usually rigorous method of procedure,
1t is not a newspapers province to try
criminal lawsuits, but the GLOBE hopes
that, for the sake of maintaining the
public confidence i'll grand jurieS' IN
vestigations, there was evidence before
this body sufficient to warrant what it
has done.
The difficulties of dealing with the
are very great. Ii frequent changes are
made in the incumbency of local offices
some confusion ensueS from the new
officials ineXperience. if, on the other
hand, men are reelected term after term,
they get to look on their positions as
personal perquiSites, and grow careless
and sliHshol in their duties. 1t is much
harder to secure the prompt service of
papers from sheriff's Office during the
sheriff's second or third term than dur
ing his first, while Oh the other hand a
new deputy will of necessity make
plumbers which are often very serious.
The only way of solving the difficulty
is to hold city and county officers up to
realizing sense of their position by
thorough investigations of what they
are doing, and clear and authoritative
criticisms of their shortcomings. The
grand jury can do this sort of work
better than any one else, and, if gone at
with due care and discretion, great good
will ensue. The collection of lonor
licenses will probably be made with
much greater promptness because of
what the present grand jury has
brought to light, and the checks
against dishonest practices in the county
Offices increased. Everybody agrees
that these things ought to be done, and
the county has reason to feel grateful to
the body which will bring them about

THIRTY-THREE WOUNDS.
The Body of Siennas Perforated
With a StilettO.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The corpse of
Nicholas Siennas, bearing thirty three
CHASTITY stabs, was found this evening in
the weeds near the road at Parkside.
SIennas was peddler and has been
missing since Monday. 1t is known that
Siennas quarreled with an unknown
fellow Italian three weeks ago, and
that the unknown was several times
discovered dogging Sienna movements.
The stabbing was evidently done with
a stiietto. From the neck to the pelvis,
the corpse is literally almost full of
holes made by the deadly steel. 1t is
supposed that Siennas was decoyed to
Parkside to be assassinated or that his
purpose of going there was known and
he was wayiaid The spot where the
body was found is one of the loneliest

The Long Public Career Of Secre-
tarY Windom.

The Long Public Career Of Secre-
tary Window.
For the past thirty years William
Window has been almost constantly in
public life. He was born in Belmont
county, Ohio, May 10, 1927. He re-
eeiYed all academic education and
studied law at Mount Vernon, o.,
and was admitted to the bar in 1850. In
1852 he became prosecuting attorney
for Knox county, but i'll 1855 he re-
moved to Minnesota, and soon after
ward he was chosen to congress from
that state as Il Republican. serving from
1889 till 1869. In that body he served
two terms as chairman of the
committee OH Indian affairs and also
was at the head OF the special commit
tee to visit the Western tribes in 1865,
and of that on the conduct of the COM
missioner of Indian affairs in 1861. In
1870 he was appointed to the United
States senate TO ill the uneXplred
term of Daniel S. Norton, deceased,
and he was subsequently chosen
for the term that ended in 1877.
He was reelected for the one that
closed in 1888, and resigned in 1881, to
enter the cabinet of President Garfield
as secretary of the treasury. but retired
on the accession of President Arthur in
the same year and was elected by
the Minnesota legislature to serve
the remainder of his term i'll
tue senate. In that body Mr..
Window acted as chairman of the COLL
mittee on aspirations, foreign affairs and
transportation. He was appointed sec
rotary of the treasury by President Har-
rison, and, since his resumption
of the duties of the Office, has
been constantly before the public,
because OF the late unsettled financial
affairs of the country. He has shown
himself equal to all emergencies, and
was found never to be wanting OH occa-
sions that demanded prompt and de-
cisve action. In the time of Wall
