THE IVES CASE.

Two sessions of the house grand jury
were held yesterday, afternoon and
evening. The judiciary committee is
not only conducting a solemnly secret
inquisition, but has barred out attor-
neyS for the defense, as well as the
attorneys concerned in the prosecu-
ton.
There are about forty witnesses to
be ex. m ned n al, ard up to date very
few of these have been on the stand.
Yesterday the testimony given referred
largely to East Grand Forks rows, and
on these occurrences will hinge the
decision of the committee as to wheth-
er or not articles of impeachment shall
be prepared. 1t will take all of To-Day
and tomorrow, at least, to hear and
examine the witnesses present, and it
is extremely doubtful whether the
house will have report from the COM
mittee before the end of next week
When the report does come it will most
probably be against proceeding to
trial for Impeachment. 1t has devel-
oped that while Judge Ives may be
open to censure, he cannot be proved
corrupt or incompetent. Over-zealous-
ness is his main offense, though some
of his methods have been more radi-
cal than American judges usually
adopt.
Witnesses from the rural parts of
Judge Ives district sometimes exhibit
a strange idea of what they are here
for. Their trip is evidently considered
somewhat of junket at the states
expense. State Treasurer Koerner has
found it necessary several times to
run a blue pencil though large items
paid for board at high-priced hotels.

WHY Is 1T. MIR. M7CARDY.

Public opinion generally condemns
the action of Comptroller McCardy
in refusing to sign the hospital con-
tract, and thereby preventing the
use of an extensive and valuable
plant designed for the purpose of
caring for suffering humanity. The
comptroller bases his action OF, the
time-worn and silly cry OF no
funds" The facts in the case prove
conclusively that the action of this
alleged watch dog of the treasury
is wholly unwarranted, and u dis
tortion OF the term duty" Seventy
thousand dollars were invested in
the plant out there. The hospital
commission, with the approval of the
tract with a plumber and gas filter
to put in gas fixtures in the addi-
ton to the hospital, without which
the property cannot be used. The
contract called for an expenditure
of 81 ,045. Last year the council set
aside $4,000 from the general fund
for the purpose of doing all that
"OAh. L HC COAtIdCl Idu DG&n en-
tered into to the aggregate sum Of
$4,000, excluding the item of 81 .045.
McCardy declined to sign this con-
tract for the alleged reason that
there were mo funds" The esti-
mated general fund for 1894 at the
time of the tax. levy was $420, 900.
Of this the sum of $407, 900 was real
lied and placed to the credit of the
general fund, or about per cent
less than the full amount of the
estimate. Why is it that, if $4,000
were set aside, S36, 600 used, and there
remained a balance of $4,000, that
there does not remain a sufficient
amount to cover the cost of the
lighting contract? The hospital COM
mission has about IA per cent of the
fund to use. In other words, S42, 900
were set aside out of the general
fund. If the $42,0 fell off pro rata
to what the general fund fell off.
the hospital commission would be en-
titled to $4,000. and they have had
but $36,00o Why is it, Mr.. Nc
Cardy, that the hospital commission
hasn't received it's proportion of the
$4,000? Why is it not to the credit
OF the hospital fund? The COMP
troller will confer a favor on the
taxpayers of Ramsey county by re-
plying to these questions

CONGRESSMAN DIFFER.

u 1t is somewhat surprising how these
congressman differ in their views Of
conditions and things. In conversa-
ton with a GLOBE reporter yester-
day, Congressman Heatwoie expressed
the opinion that there is no likelihood
of an extra session being called. He
said that when President Cleveland
limited there would be an extra ses,
sion, it was merely in jocular man
iner, while talking with some new con,
gressmen. Yesterday Congressman
,Tawney came in from Winona for a
few hours visit with his friends. Asked
about the extra session, he said: st
am afraid that congress is likely to
be called together before the regular
time for meeting. 1 shall be happy if
it is not" And there you are.
Both Heatwole and Tawney are
looking exceedingly well. OF course.
there is no reason why Joel should
look otherwise, because he merely
went down to see how the old thing
worked. Tawney has never been very
robust since he quit the machine shop
to become a statesman, but the small
part taken by Republican members in
the dead and unhonored congress that
has just adjourned doubtless gave the
honorable James good chance to rest
and recuperate.
AS Mr.. Heatwole views the situa-
ton, there is a possibility that Capt.
A. H. Reed of Glencoe will be landed
in a good place when the naxt house is
organized. He also said he expected
the delegation from Minnesota would
be found acting as a unit on all mat,
tiers affecting their interests. Hop

speakership, in the opinion of the

THE INDIANA PLUG UGLiES.

When the people of Indiana recover
from their indignation at the occur
renee they may take time to reflect
that the ruffianly interchange of kicks,
blows and clubbings was directly due
to that kind of craftsmanship which is
most robust and earnest when on the
chase for a job.-Chicago Record.
Yet these grave and reverend legis-
lators got so worked up over this Gus
todianship that they behaved in a
more disgraceful manner than the in
mates of the Illinois Home for Ju
verile Female Offenders, whose riot
Gus proceedings were chronicled in
the same paper. There is some excuse
to be made for the latter. They are
children, undisciplined and uneducated
and full of criminal instincts. That
they should riot is not surprising. But
1t is astonishing thai full grown men,
prominent in the communities whence
they come, should forget so easily that
their little hands were not made to
scratch out one another'S eyes with
Chicago Tribune.
By winding up it's career with a
scrimn1age in which a number Of men,
bers were seriously injured the Indi-
ana legislature offers an extreme ex-
ample of the disgraceful turbulence
that occasionally characterizes the pro-
ceedings of our legislative bodies
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Truth often surDasses fiction No
ting satirist would have
dared to invent a story that reads so
scandalously as the true narrative of
the riot in the Indiana house of repre-
entatives.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

LOGIC THAT LINIPS.

If it be true, as Democrats are them
selves saying, that the record Of the
Fffty-third congress cannot be re-
viewed by any Democrat without feel
ings of shame and indignation, the
conclusion would seem to be ineVi-
table that the party will have to dis
band or reorganize on new and better
lines.-Minneapolis Times.
1t is true that Democrats regard
the results of the Fifty-tnird con-
gress with humiliation, shame and
anger, and it is very much to their
credit that they do. It would have
been more to the credit of the Re-
publicanS who resisted the swing
of their party by the F'ifty-frst con-
gress to interpretation, had they
also expressed their judgment as
plainly and emphatically as the
Democrats now do theirs. If the one
positive act of this congress were as
cheerfully accepted by Democrats
as defining Democratic policy or
embodying Democratic principles as
was the Mckinley act by the Re-
publicans, there would be in it such
an abandonment of principle as to
invite and insure a disarmament of
the party.
But it is the very anger of the
Democrats at the manner in which
their representatives in congress dis
obeyed the command laid on them
that shows how vital yet are the
principles held by them, how earnest
are their convictions, and makes ap-
parent the absurdity of the sugges-
ton that a party thus inspired will
disband because a few men, un-
happily where they could work mis-
chief, betrayed their party and de-
feated it's performance of promise.
The thought of the Times is doubt
less the child of its wish, but it's
wish will not be gratified, because
out Of the disappointment and an
ger will come the perception of the
real cause of the defeat, and a de-
mand for a more concise, explicit
and more truly Democratic policy.

EXODUS MATERIALIZES.
Steamer HOrsa CHARTERED to Carry

steamer HOrsa CHARTERED to Carry
Negroes to Africa.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE
first step towards the immigration of
colored people from the Southern
states to Liberia was taken TODAY by
the departure from this port for Sa-
vannah of the Danish steamer Horsa
under Capt. Henry Wiburg At Sa-
vannah the boat will take aboard 200
passengers who expect to make their
homes in the African republic. Back
of the movement is the International
Migration society.
The society offered to send each i'm
migrant there for SAL, the money to be
paid in instellments. This includes
railroad fare from their homes in this
country to the port Of sailing, passage
to Monrovia, Liberia, and their sup
port for three months in Liberia, by
which time they are expected to have
built houses for themselves and start
ed in life. This offer secured over 600
members, of which number about 300
have paid their SAL Out of this num-
Der about 200 have been selected to
sail. They include married men and
their wives and many single men. Only
men of good physical condition and
character have been chosen.
Upon her arrival in Liberia the Horsa
will endeavor to secure a cargo to
bring back to this country. She will
visit a number of African ports for this
purpose. 1t is expected that about
forty days will be consumed in the
round trip, of which eighteen will be
taken on the outward bound passage.
It will take until about Sunday to
reach Savannah, and Tuesday the load
of fortune hunters will be on their way
to Liberia.

As Others See Us,

New York Times.
Minneapolis has shot at st. Paul an
arrow cruelty sharp. The rivalry be-
tween these two places has long been
a source of malicious joy to the whole
Northwest, and has caused the in
habitants of each city to devote much
time to the invention of unkind re-
marks about the other. None of
these, however, has excited such
shrek of Indignation as is now going
up from st. Paul. Minneapolis has
spread report, it seems, that every
newspaper published in the neighbor-
ing town has been forced to increase
the size and number of it's pages so
as to make room for the many official
notices of mortgage foreclosures,
whose publication has been made
necessary by st. PauPs financial mis-
fortunes. There is such an Internal
ingenuity about this assertion that
the illuminated city finds but small
consolation in the power both to deny
with vehemence and disapprove by
figures confusingly exact the truth of
its rivals charge. The outside world
will take so much more interest in the
Mlnneapolitan report as bit of char
acterfstic Western humor than as
piece of economic history, true or
false, that st. Paul sees the future as
through a blue glass, most dismally
discolored, and in the utter helpless
ness of its anger can talk only of libel
suits and other things equally vain.

the failure of congress to remedy
the condition. A very large share of
the business of these Offices is the
arrest and trial Of persons for sell
ing liquor to Indians. But under the
later policy Of the government the
Indians are being rapidly settled on
their allotments of land in the reser-
vations, and the courts hold, so
Commissioner Browning says, that
this divests them of the status of
wards, and invests them with the
rights and duties of citizenship,
among which is the right to drink
liquor and to buy and sell it. It
being no offense under any law to
sell a citizen intoxicants, no prose-
cution can be maintained against
any one selling liquor to an Indian
who is living on his allotment of
land
The commissioner thinks that the
result of this will be so serious that
the bureau will discourage the max
bng of alsothients, and if this is done

Commission Will be indefinitely ex-
tended, for about, all it exists for is

A GREAT WORK RETARDED.

Stored in the basement of the state
capitoi are historical relics and papers
valued at SlZ5,0GO in money. Their value
from the historical point of view cannot
well De computed, and the passing
years VIII add largely to it, Reference
Is mad to the collections of the his
torlcal society. The administrative
council of the society is composed of
some OF the grandest old veterans
and pioneers in the state; the splen-
did work they are doing so quietly
is commended by all thoughtful peo-
pie; and their devoted services for the
state are generously praised.
But when 1T comes to making an ap-
preparation for this work the leefs-
lature is anything but generous. Here
tofore all the money allowed has been
$1,000 a year. This amount is made
quate, and an effort is now to be made
to have 1t increased. So careful and
conservative a man as Hon. John L.
Gibbs is outspoken in favor of making
the allowance at least $4,000 a year
Mr.. Gibbs so expressed himself yester-
day to Gen. J. II. Baker, a member
OF the administrative council. The
general, however, says they will be
satisfied if an additional 81, 900 year
Is allowed, thus making the total
yearly appropriation $1,000.
To a GLOBE man Gen. Baker had
this to say: when it is considered
that the historical society is not only
making an Invaluable collection of
relics, souvenirs of great events in
the states history, aticles that will be
priceless in value a few years hence
but is also gathering every scrap of
genuine historical data that can be
secured, it will be realized that great
and public-spirited labor is being de-
votedly performed. Today its signif-
icance may be lost on the masses; but
: tomorrow there will come an awaken
ing to the tremendous Importance of
having this labor performed in a man
ner that shall be worthy the past his
tory and the future destiny of our
stae. Among legislators with whom
1 have talked 1 find a spirit favora-
BILE to generous dealing with the his
torical society, and L sincerely trust
that the modest increase of funds
we need will be provided for in the
general appropriation BILL
The additional $1,000 is required to
secure additions to the collection when
possible, and to properly care for and
arrange the treasures already in pos
session of the society.

WON'T TAKE THEIR OWN pHYsIC

1t is a common experience with
Democrats of the skirmish-line class
who, in discussing their pet policy
with Republicans, approach the
topic by an unusual route, to secure
the cordial assent of their fellow
disputant to their premises until he
discovers that they lead him by ir-
resistible logic to an admission Of
the ultra position of the advanced
Democrat. Recently, to illustrate,
a prominent Republican, one whose
name was mentioned in connection
with the latest senatorial election,
discussing the income tax, asserted
that unsupported it because he want
ed to see these multi-millionaires pay
something to the support of the gov
eminent. He assented to the propo-
sition that it was wrong that prop
erty in such hands should not-con-
tribute to the support of the govern
ment.
He went further On the dangerous
path, and admitted that any system

vealed to him that he was utterly

and landing him among the radicals
OF the Democracy, he insisted on
changing the subject. 1t is this re-
fnSal fa oil
it leads them away from party,
that is the real danger to the re-
public
Another instance of this blindness
to the logical end of a proposition is
shown in a portion of the argument
made by ex-senator Edmunds to the
supreme court in the income tax
cases. He had expatiated on the ex-
emption feature of the law, assert
ing that it robbed it of the element
OF uniformity required by the con-
stitution, and virtually amounted to
the conflScation of the property of
some by the many. cit becomes" he
said, IAN interesting subject of spec

ment can last under system which
allows those who pay nothing to tax
their fellow citizens. One evil step
will lead to another, as one vice fol-
lows another, until by and by we
will have revolution, then anarchy
and then a tyrant to rule us as the
revolving changes go round
The government has lasted for thfr-
ty years under just such a condi-
ton, excepting only that it has per-
mitted those who pay nothing to
support the government to tax their
fellows for their own benefit. The

MADRID, March 14.-Senor Diaz
Moyeu, a naval officer, read a report
made by a former commander of the
Reina Regente, asserting that the
cruiser was not suited for heavy
weather, owing to her being over
loaded by her armament.
MADRID, March 14-The govern
ment was questioned today in the
chamber of deputies as to the infor
nation it had regarding the Reina
Regente. Replying to the question,
Prime Minister Sagasta says that tele-
grams announcing the wreck of YES
sells at various places along the coast
had been received, and that, though
the government had no positive news
regarding the Reina Regente beyond
the fact that she had sailed from
Tangier, he feared that the vessel had
been lost. Senior CarvajaI, a Repub-
lican member. asserted that if the
war ship had foundered the disaster
was due to the fact that she was
overweighted forward by big guns.
The belief, which is hourly growing
stronger, that the vessel will never
again be heard from, has created a
feeling of CONSERVATION throughout
the country. In Cadiz and Cartha-
gena, where most of the crew be-
longed, the excitement and anxiety
are intense.
