ARRANT HYPOCRISY.

One would think that even a very
short memory would keep the New
I ork Tribune from joining in the pro-
tests against the appointment of Mr.
Van Allen as minister to Italy for no
other reason than that he had contrib
uted literally to his party's campaign
fund at time when success seemed
doubtful, and when the Tribune was
assuring the country that it was i'm
possible. We can understand, il we
cannot fully appreciate, the elevated
ground taken by the New York Even
ing Post that contributors of money,
like close relationship, preclude the
donor and the relative alike from ask
ing favorS of the administration. One
man contributes his faculty for Organi-
cation; another his eloquence: and an
other, having. say, neither, yet having
what is essential to the conduct of
campaign - money - contributes that.
We confess to an inability to perceive
why one contribution as much as the
other does Dot preclude the gIver from
asking place under the party he has as
sisted to power. We can imagine that a
fine-grained nature would feel that the
very fact that he had laid an admins
tration under obligation to him should
preclude him from asking recognition
of it in the shape of a reward. 1t is too
much like the old soldier parading his
wounds with his demand for place or
gratuity.
But there is such rank Pecksniffianism
in the morality of the Tribune protest
that it only causes nausea. When it
says: "If we have reached the point in
our civilization where it is too high po-
litical morality to urge the punishment
of men who trade public offices for cam.
paigp funds, we have reached the dan
ger point" it recalls the inconsistency
there is in the rebuke of sin admins
tered by Satan. 1t is not SO long ago
that the Tribune can have forgotten it
that Wanamaker was rewarded for the
$4,000 he contributed and the $500, 900
he raised for the Republican committee
in 1888. Nor, if that was too remote
fact for it to recall. can it be oblivious
to the bargain which Chauncey Depew
drove with the steerers of the national
Minneapolis convention whereby the ed
itor-in-chief of the Tribune was NOM
mated for vice president in considera-
ton of a promise that his father-in-law,
Mr.. Mills, would contribute quarter of
million dollars to the Republican cam
paign fund. Under such circumstances
discreet silence would better become

THE OLDEST LAWYER.
Hon. William Pitt Murray Cor
rccts statement Made by Judge
Elau(irau

Hon. William Pitt Murray Cor
rccts statement Made by Judge
Flaudrau.
To the Editor of the GLOBE
read with some pleasure the address
of Judge g. E. Flandrau at the State
Bar Association of Minnesota, held at
the state capitol on the Sd of October,
1893. The judge is much better law
yer than historian. He at times is some
what credulous. He CLEANS most of his
history at the club, and from old moss
backs while he is in court waiting for
the jury, Now the judge, in claiming
to have been the Oldest legal practi-
TONER in the state, made the same claim
that the>boy did when he came rushing
home from school, in great glee ex-
claiming: Mamma. l am next to the
head in my classw The mother, de-
lightediy kissing her prodigy, said:
My son, how many are there in your
class?' His reply was: "Oh, me and
another boy" The judge claims that
he is the other boy. Now, the fact is
that Inc Hon. Henry n. Setter, of Still
water, ldinn., is the Oldest legal practi-
tiCler in the state, and is now engaged
n the active practice of the law. He
came to Minnesota in 1S47. 1t may be
possible that it may be claimed that
during the earlier years of Mr.. Setzer's
residence III Minnesota he was engaged
in driving logs and numbering. That
may be offset, however, by saying that
the judge was at one time Indian agent,
Judge, and out West mining.

To Reflection Upon His FIRMS
Methods of Doing Business.
To the Editor of the G!obe.
In yesterdays issue of your paper we
noticed in the account of the meeting
held by the county commissioners an
item rejecting on our manner of doing
business with the board of control. We
have no apology to offer these honorable
gentlemen of the committee on claims,
or to any one concerned in the matter,
and we know of no reason why reflec-
tons should be cast upon our business
methods.
April l, 1898. contract was handed
us to furnish supplies for the poor of
the city and county. A full order called
for goods 10 the amount OF $3.50; a half
order for S1.65.
The full order consisted of the follow
ing supplies: Half-sack of flour, S1.2O;
s pounds pork, 81; 15-bushel potatoes,
% cents; 13-pOund tea, 20 cents; 2
pounds rice, ID cents; bars soap, 10
cents; 2 quarts beans, Is cents.
The bearers of these orders had little
knowledge of what the order called
for when they presented them to us.
They were informed that it was worth
$3.50. In nearly every case other arti-
cles are substituted to the value of the
potatoes and pork.
If these gentlemen of the claims COM
mittee had asked for information before
passing on these bills. they would have
been saved Matchmaking merchants
who. with others. support them in their
fat offices.
We thank the editor for the space
here allowed us. Yours very respect
fully. JOHN FURLoNG.

PILGRIM BAPTIST PROTEST.
Coiored People stung by a Pioneer
Press Fake. !

To the Editor of the Globe
Will you allow me space in your very
valuable paper for the purpose of cor
recting the impressions made by an
article which appeared in the Pioneer
Press, last Friday morning. IN regard
to an entertainment given at the Pill
grim Baptist church Thursday evening,
sept. Is, known as corn pone we'd
ding"
AS to the wedding" it was nothing
more than mere mock wedding. The
name given it by the gentleman who
managed it was selected simply for
novelty.
The report of the affair. as it appears
in the Pioneer Press, opened with the
foolish statement, Five funny little
pickaninnieS chased one another about
the aisleS of the Pilgrim Baptist
church" Now, there was 10 chasing
of ''plckaninnies" abou: the aisies of
the church. The corn pone wedding
is something dear to The average culiud

mating statements of the Press. | have
spent some thlrty-odd yeals among the
colored people, and | never so much as
heard or Corn Pone Wedding" before,
so you may judge of the truthfulness of
the statement 10y the Press.
Inc attendants had never been to a
cake walk" as stated by the Pioneer
Press. and were not governed by any
such rules.
But one OF the most unaccountabie
things about the Press's highly enter.
tanning % article is the language
ascrlbed to the participants in the affair
In the first place, the person VINO con-
Quoted the affair was not the pastor of
Pilgrim Baptist church, as reported Icy
the Press; but there was no such
Language used by any one there that
night. Now, this affair was participated
III by young gentlemen and ladies of
culture and refinement, and was wit
messed BY an audience of the same kind
with perhaps the exception of the re-
porter OF the Pioneer Press. who dem
onstrated conclusively that he is not in
the line of progress of this day and gen.
Grafton.
Now, believe that the newspaper has
an important mission, which is 10 eIe-
yate the race of mankind and push on
the car of progress; and am sure that
1t cannot do it by miSrepresenting a
people as was done by the representa-
ton OF the Pioneer Press in order to
tickle the palate of some OF its most idle
readers. Respectfully yours,

Returned From the Fair.

Capt. c. j. Stees has returned to St.
Paul after attending the national en-
campment, G. a. R., at Indianapolis.
He took in the worlds fair, spending a
month there viewing the wonders of the
White City by the lake. The captain
looks well, and is much improved in
health. He says the fair is wonder
not to be described, and must be seen to
be appreciated, and is enthusiastic over
the play of '.America"s ct the Audi
forum. which is nightly witnessed by
over 5000 people, the rush for which
may be imagined when seats for the
play must be applied for eight and ten
days in advance, and tickets selling on
the day of the performance at premium
of 50 and 81. Capt. Stees was accom-
panied by his niece, Miss Mary E. Stees,
who has been spending the summer at
Atlantic City, and stopped at the worlds
fair Oh her return home.

stead of attempting to personally pass
upon their qualifications. During his
first administration, and up to the pres
ent time since his second inauguration,
he has endeavored to give personal at
tention TO all applicants for Office. The
work has proved too great. and he has
found it impossible to devote as much
attention TO all cases as their Importance
demanded. The cabinet and bureau
officers are usually better Informed as
to such matters than the president can
ever hope to be, and Mr.. Cleveland has
taken the proper course of deferring to
their judgment. The new order of
things will be gratifying because of the
additional facility with which changes

pecting on their way to the Panhandle.
! anu inquired as To suitable camping
place for the night. One Of them ad-
dressed the other as Kirk" though
whether as his first name or surname is
not Known. After short STOP They
drove on. and it seems that they must
nave concluded 10 camp for the night in
HANGMAN'S GROVE.
They. of course. had no i;iea as to the
character OF the place, and were proha-
bly, attracted by the shade and the
water supply. After they had maize
their camp fire, and just as they were
cooking their supper, quarrel of some
very bitter nature seems u have arisen
they fought hand 10 hand with the axes
they had probably been using in cutting
their flrewood. Next day when they
were found their horses were still
tethered and their coffee pot was
| embers of their FIRE. From
the number of footprints found around
tue fallen bodies the battle must have
been most desperate one, and the
awful manner in which the bodies were
bruised and hacked anu gashed would
lead to the same conclusion Two faith
ful dogs were standing guard over the
dead bodies of their masters, and showed
night when the crowd began to gather.
Investigation showed that the men were
weli-to-do, as their camp outfit of
wagon, team, guns and cooking outfit
were all of the best. One man had A
roll of over $500 in bills in an
inner pocket, and the other had almost
as much. IL is reported that an old gen
tleman still living in Valley View took
care OF the money, and still holds it III
readiness to pay it out to any person
who may establish his right to 1t, though
suspect be would be very particular
as to the character of the evidence on
which he would he would be asked to
pay 1t out again. Any one who feels an
interest in the matter might do well TO
drop line to the sheriff of Cooke
county, at Gainesville.
WHAT WAS THE CAUSE?
1t would be interesting if we could
know the cause of the quarrel about
which these men fought so desperately
in the gathering gloom that night. Was
II some business trouble, or was it some
domestic unhappiness OF love affair?
As their strength began to ebb out at
their many gashes. did their thoughts
turn back to some quiet home in old
Missouri? And their wives or sweet
hearts. If tsey had any, are they still
waiting for them TO write or come home
again? Or do they believe these dead
men to have basely deserted them in a
far Western county?
The motto of the vigilance committee
IN the early days seems to have been i:
ut is better for one innocent man to
hang than for ninety-nine guilty men to
escape" Hangman's grove has seen
almost the full ninety-nine guilty men
punished. 1t is only natural then that
1t should have seen its one innocent
man with them. This was probably poor
Rnfus johnson. boy not out of his
teens, who was hanged in '72 for sup
posed completely in horse stealing
scrape. He was nuug of course on cir
cumstantial evidence, and il has since
been pretty we'll proven that he had
nothing to do with the crime. The
hanging of this poor boy was great
mistake, and one much to be regretted,
but then, of course, every one makes
mistakes, for that matter.
