GOV. BuDD'S POSITION.
He links the Press Deserving of
Censure.

Gov. Buds, in giving his reasons
for refusing to interfere in the Dur
rant case, closes as follows:
The position of the public press

subsequently is deserving Of serious
censure, and did | brlieve that the

he might not have been convicted. I
would interfere with the Judgment in

thought the facts justified.

The narrator has not undertaken to
repeat one-hundredth part of the
things this singularly acute gentleman
told. To him every stone has a his
tory, every corridor is a picture. He
does not especially admire the immense
paintings In the rotunda, because, while
they represent great historic events in
American history, and are eceedingly
large in size, he does not regard them
as valuable works of art. To those who
have artistic tastes and culture, Mr..
Kennedy delights in pointing out the
beauties Of Brumidis work in the COM

the basement corridors of the senate
wing Of the capitol. Every inch of the
wall has been touched by the brush of
a master. Every touch has historic
significance, and these are the points
of detail which are explained by this
plodding, delving guide who does our

WANDERED OFF TO DEATH.
Gustav VOIkman, 81 Blind Man al
FaribauIt, Found LifeIess.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Mimi, Oct 14-This
city was thrown into intense excite
ment this morning over the finding OF
the body of Gustav Volkman, a blind
man, who makes his living in this
vicinity selling brooms. In the first
excitement it looked like case of foul
play, but after carefully examining
the body and the surroundings, Chief of
Police Geiger said there was nothing
that could point to it as murder, as
Volkman's pocketbook, containing
note for $100 and also $3.50 in change,
was found on the body. The probable
ity is that Volkman was on his way
from town to the blind institute, where
he stayed most of the time when he
was not out of the city, and in en-
deavoring to go across the Second
street bridge in some way missed the
path and fell some fifteen feet into the
mud below where he wandered about
until entirely exhausted. In falling he
probably struck his head on stone.
Volkman was a well-to-do young man
of good habits. He graduated from
the state school for the blind in this
city, about three years ago. He was
thirty years old. The inquest will prob
ably be held Monday.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

The communication which we publish
this morning relating to the matter of
salaries of bank receivers expresses ex-
we believe Is now generally accepted,
and upon which the courts will act
hereafter almost universally. 1t is
singular thing that the old practice of
paying extravagant salaries to receiv
ers should ever have come into exist
ence. Because boards of directors Of
great corporations are accustomed to
vote large salaries to those who have
proved by experience that they are
competent to handle vast affairs,
these salaries have been made the
basis on which to estimate the amount
to be paid to other persons coming
in temporarily to take charge Of the
affairs of a concern after it has gone
into insolvency. There is really no
analogy between the two cases. To
conduct a business practically and
proftably, with a view to it's soundness
and it's ultimate success, and to take
charge of it merely to wind up its ac
counts and settle with it's creditors are
two occupations, as different as the
writing of editorial articles and the
distribution of type In an advertising
alley. The stipend awarded to the &C
tive manager Of a growing business
and to the administrator who sits upon
its remains should be gagged by en-
tirely different standards. We have
seen, recently, a tendency in this di-
rection in the scaling down by the
court of receivers salaries that is an
exceedingly wholesome one, and that
we believe indicative of general GUS
tom hereafter.
The argument established by our cor
respondent, that salaries of receiver
ships should not be set high above
those of judges even of the supreme
court of the United States, is a valid
one The custom is not an abuse in
the sense that it was ever originated
to make money out of the misfortunes
Of others, but is merely practice that
at first grew out Of a mistaken con-
ception of the occupation of a receiv-
er, and has been perpetuated thought
lessly. We think that the courts every
where are now inclined to do strict JUS
tice and be worthy of their name in
limiting the compensation of receivers
to fair amount, and apportioning 1t
according to the extent and value of
the services rendered. We do not be-
lieve that there exists any cause for
such apprehension for the future as our
correspondent expresses. His letter is
timely and pertinent, but we believe
that the reform which it advocates is
already practically accomplished. -

THE STATES FARMS.

The butter that Horace Greeley made
and Henry Ward Beecher used to say
that he managed to save enough out
of his salary of 5000 year for
preaching to run his farm. If Mime
sofa were farming for profit, her three
farms would rival either Of those in
unprof1tablesness. The annual report
of the director of the experiment sta
tions shows expenditures for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1896, of $4,000, and re-
ceipts of 50, ,143, leaving a net excess Of
outgo over income of $47,919. For the
six months of this year the expendi-
lures have been $4,000, with receipts
amounting to $2,771. Of this expense
the United States contributed $4,000,
leaving Minnesota to foot up the re-
mainder. If the farms are looked at
solely from the dollar side, they are a
very expensive luxury.
But any one who took only that view
Of them would miss entirely the re-
turn that is even now a compensation
for the amount spent on them; and, as
the years go on and their effects are
felt in better methods Of farming
throughout the state, in the increased
productiveness of soils, in the preven-
tion Of the enormous waste Of old meth
ods in the relegation to the past Of
the notion that any one who can do
nothing else can farm it," and in the
spread of the conviction that agricul-
ture is one Of the learned of the pro-
fessions, calling for a wider range Of
information and use of mental facul
ties than any other-then the profit
and loss account can be made up with
the balance heavily on the profit side.
1t is not only in the practical instruc-
ton which is there given to the stu
dents of the college of agriculture that
the yalue of Minnesota's farms is to
be found, although one cannot estimate
this with any accuracy without know
ing what the boys and girls who go
back from it to the farms accomplish
in the education of their communities.
A value fully equal to this is given
in the bulletins that contain the re-
suits of actual experiments in feeding,
in new seeds, in description of injuri-
GUS insects and remedies for them, and
experiments in the dairy, in horticul-
ture, animal husbandry and the other
heads Of agriculture. No state in the
+Lo+
tions has so able, earnest and industri-
GUS q corps Of specialists as are those
who conduct these Investigations, pre-
pare these bulletins and give instruc-
tion to students in Minnesota's college
Of agriculture, using the experiment
stations as other teachers use the
blackboard, for demonstration.

Alsace and Lorraine to the German
empire, took the precaution that Russia

negotiated the secret treaty to which

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Tlhe Chronicle
To-Day says: Half broiled ducks sprink
ied with gunpowder were the only
tn1ngs Robert Woodbridge, of Boston.
mad to eat for three days. Weak and
near starving, Mr. WOODBRIDGE. who
nad been missing for three days, was
found in little open boat in the midst
or vast marsh yesterday morning be-
fore daybreak a few miles from Litch-
field, MINI.
William Parsons, chief clerk of the
sherman house of this city, along with
the man who was missing and num-
per Of Chicagoans, has been duck
hunting the marshes Of Minnesota for
two weeks. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Woodbridge became lost from the party
ano was unable to find his way out of
the marsh. Nearly 100 hunters worked
for two days and at last found the
Boston man nearly dead from exposure
and want of food When a telegram,
followed by letter. from Mr.. Parsons
was received at the Sherman house
telling that Mr. Woodbridge had been
found there was general rejoicing.
The many Chicago friends of Mr.,
Woodgridge, who is a large dealer in
hard wood in Boston, when they learn
ed that he was lost in the marshes,
were greatly excited. A score of mes
sages were sent to Mr.. Parsons asking
for more details, but no reply came un-
til yesterday.
The following letter from the chief
clerk to William Peace of the hotel
tells the story of the lost and found:
'Woodie" got lost in the rushes at Mud
lake, where we are camping, and for time
we gave up hopes Of ever finding him alive.
AS you know, he had been missing nearly
three days, but I am glad to say he has
been found and is now all right.
tuesday afternoon started out for ducks.
Late in the afternoon We all pulled for the
shore in our boats, telling 'Woodie" to fol-
low us. 1t was nearly dark by this time,
but he was having too good shooting to como
along. At last he started. but the rushes
are so tall he soon became confused. He
could not find trace of camp fire, and,
the marsh he could not locate our party. He
saw four grain stacks about half a mile from
the lake. These he had noticed before sunset,
and he said to himself that he would pull
and walk to the camp. He started to do this,
but got mixed up in the rushes and started
to row around, and this is where he became
totally lost.
He padded around all that night, slept a
part of the next day and then had to cook
some of his ducks with few dried reeds to
keep himself from starvation. This he did
for thirty-six hours. All this time we were
trying to find him.
We were all scared half to DEATH and we
asked all the hunters in the vicinity to join
us, and they did. About o'clock this morn
ing heard the faint report OF a gun. and
by this we found poor Woodie' away out
in the midst of the marsh. He had but two
shells left, as he had fired all of them off
trying to attract our attention.
| was the first to reach him, and he said:
'My God, Bill, I'm glad to see you. Got any
thing to eat?"
We hurried him back to camp, and he is in
good condition. Says he Is going hunting
some more, but will take along a score Ol
guides.

"UNCOMMoN INsOLENCE. >.

Bismarck has sustained distinct
loss of elninence in the esteem of Re
publican editors, who, when their pa
ternal policy was in issue, were wont
to quote with great gusto the Iron
Chancellors opinion of it, as finally
and forever settling the question Of it's
beneficence. He steps with heavy and
ruthless tread upon their patriotic corns
now and raises their ireful cries of pro-
test by pronouncing, with quite as ex
cathedra tone as was that in which
he announced the wisdom of protec-
ton, the Monroe doctrine anathema
as a piece of uncommon insolence."
Never having accepted Bismarck's pa
ternalism as a suitable policy for this
country, we refuse to accept now his
opinion of the Monroe doctrine; finding
| his analogies, whence he draws his in
ference of insolence, quite as fallacious
as the reasons on which he based his
state socialism.
The old Absolutist presents as anal
agous to our Monroe doctrine a sup
posititious interference by France and
Russia in any Encouragement of the
frontiers Of Europe, or the arrogation.
by the preponderating powers in Asia,
Russia and Great Britain, of the right
to prevent changes in the political
status without their consent. An accu-
rate analogy would be the attitude of
the Holy Alliance, out of which grew
our doctrine, that monarchical govern
ments had the right to oppose, as a
matter of self-preservation, the estab-
lishment Of republican forms of gov
ernment on the ruins of overthrown
and discarded monarchies There is an
uncommon insolence" in the asser-
ton Of any people to govern them
selves, from the Bismarckian point of
view. The rise of representative gov
ernment, the establishment of the
French republic on the debris of Bour-
bon despotism, all denials of the divine
right of kings, is uncommon insoIence"
to such as regard governments from
Bismarck's side The Holy Alliance was
formed to repress republican tenden-
cies, not only on the Eastern but on
| the Western continent, and, unuues
tionably, it would have given Spain aid
in subduing her rebellious colonies on
this continent, had it not been for the
uncommon insolence" of the United
States in insisting that this continent
should be reserved upon which to make
the experiment of self government. 1t
involved no attempt to eXpel European
monarchies from their possessions here,
but it did propose that they should not
extend them, nor, when their subjects
sought to establish self-government,
| should other powers interfere between
the contestants to subdue the rebels.
! The history of Europe is replete with
| instances of just such uncommon inso-
| lence' as Bismarck cites as analogies
! to the Monroe doctrine. One need not
! go back as far as the partition of Po-
! land to find them when we have in our
own day the interference of the pow
ers to prevent Russia from changing
the boundaries Of Turkey, or when we
have the ink hardly dry on the instru-
ment by which the powers prevented
| Turkey from changing the northern
boundary of Greece by absorbing all Of
