WHEN Florida was being stolen it was

THE Itopublican papprs arc joining in a

very "flat." Perhaps that is what the
"organs" mean.

ready demonstrate.
UNCI E ordinary circumstances it would bo
early to inaugurate another Presidential cam
paign, but in view of the fact tbat the last
President elected did not obtain the office,
and that the place is filled by afiaudulent
tamper, it is eminently pioper that the cam

til the will of the people is heard and re
spected.
THE Pioneer Press ought to import
at least half a dozen more men to beat the
GLOBE." Some of these days the man who
murdered John D. Smith, about a mile from
the city, will be anested, tiied, convicted and
hung, and unless this leseive foice is on
hand that enterprising sheet may never hear
of it. The fact of the muider has not yet
reached that office.
THE GLOBE gave Senator McMillan's
views, (quoted from the N. Y. Herald) rel
ative to disturbing the Presidential title, at
the same time it published the opinion of
other Minnesota members. The other daily
papers, with brilliant stupidity, declare that
his views were not noted by the Herald.
The trouble was, that with the papei before

Senator Mike's statement.
SELKIKK, the adventuiei who confesses to

Floiida in 1876, .says our Dunnell gave him
money. Dunnell admits that he asked for
money, but denies having given it to
him. Tho presumption is in favor of Dun
nell, for while he has ever been ready to give
post offices, mail agencies, &c., or anything at
government expense, to advance his in
terests, he is never known to use any of his
own money. Selkirk would have to bring
strong proof to convince the people of Min
nesota that Dunnell ever gave anything.
OUB Bismarck correspondent send3 us
another letter, which we publish this morn
ing, from which it appears that some of the
people in that enteiprising city take excep
tions to his graphic description of the cllarac
teiistics of the town. His mstiuctions were
to give facts as he found them, and naught
set down in malice. We have every reason
to believe that our correspondent is obeying
instructions, and if so, the reputable people
at Bismarck ought to feel under obligations
to the GLOBE, instead of indignant.
Bismarck is undoubtedly no exception to
frontier cities correspondingly located. A bad
element always seeks such locations, but the
way to relieve the community is not by con
cealment but by exposure. In the huriying,
pushing, frontier towns the better class of
residents too often neglect to improve the
suiroundings by such remedies as thoy
possess. So long as no public notice is
taken of it nothing is done, but when they
see themselves as others see them, they be
come aroused to action. We predict that
however our Bismarck friends may view the
matter now, they will ultimately thank the
GLOBE for its publication.

**L *?&&?*?
AN ISSUE FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Republicans are hunting around for
"an issue." "An issue" is indispensable to
a political campaign, and we are to have an
election of Congressmen this year, and of a
President in 1880. The New York TiTnes,
the leading organ of the Republican party,
is of opinion that "resumption "is issue
enough." The New York Tribune, on the
other hand, raises a scare-crow, and calls it
"Southern Claims." The majority of the
Republican papers throughout the country
seem undetermined whether to rally around
the scare-crow, or around the emblem of the
gold-bug.
The GLOBE has an idea that in *78 and
'80 the Democratic party will have a hand
in choosing the issue to be decided. The
issue they will present, and which the Re
publican party cannot avoid, is this: Do
the people of the United States approve of
FraudFraud, glaring, undenied, self-con
fessd?
That will be "issue enough" for the Dem
ocratic party.
Until the people of the whole country
have formally pronounced their decision
upon that question, any other issue is in
comparison as the light of a penny taper to
that of an electric lamp.
The republic has never before been called
upon to enter judgment upon a subject of
such radical importance. The present ex
ecutive branch of our government is held by
men who have no earthly right to exercise
its power. Their places were obtained by
the most villainous conspiracy in history.
That conspiracy was approved, and the men
concerned mit defended and applauded by
the Republican party, and, although proof
"strong as holy writ" has been heaped
mountain high, and has exposed the abomi
nablo crime to the entire world, the Repub
lican party has not and will not condemn
a single one of the conspirators save such as
are impelled by stricken consciences to make
confession. To put the seal of their appro
bation upon a party which has thus steeped
itself in iniquity and made its name synony
mous with Fraud, would be for the people of
this democratic nation to declare themselves
no longer a democracy, but afoul brood of
willing slaves.
We believe that this is the one question
which should be made to throw
all others into the shade of in
significance until the people have
spoken. The investigation by Congress of
the frauds in Florida and Louisiana should
proceed. Every nerve and fibre of the
loathsome mass of corruption should be dis
sected and laid bare. Not in the interest of
any one man not to fuither the ambitions
of those who having their opportunity were
too weak, and too distrustful of the honesty
of the people, to seize the hour. But it is
the light of the country that all those aban
doned scoundrels who weie instrumental in
aiming the most deadly blow that ever
threatened the existence of the republic
should have the mask of respectability torn
from them.
DOES OVER-WORK KILL?
There are a certain class of somewhat
weak-minded persons, having the ear of the
public, who, immediately a man dies after
performing his life's tasks like a man, wag
their silly heads, raise their hands, and utter
well-set phrases in depreciation of a "tendon
cy to over-work." We have no sympathy
for and but little patience with such people
We doubt whether a well-authenticated in
stance of death caused purely by over-work
can be raked out of the records of the world,
while it will upon examination be found that
the real hard-workers of mankind generally
arrive at a green old age, and possess their
faculties in full to the end.
The deptu of the late William Orton is
attributed tc this so-called over-work, and it
i3 viewed as a dreadful warning by the gen
try who are ever-fearful of over-taxing their
capabilities. Mr. Orton died of apoplexy.
There is nothing to prove that the attack
might not have come when it did-, or even
sooner, if Mr. Orton had led a life of ease.
It may be objected that proof of a negative
is here required, but such a demand is not,
as Judge Joe Bradley would say, aliunde in
this instance, apoplexy being a
disease more frequent among high
livers and non-workers than among lean
thinkers and shivers after results. The
number of men who have been saved from
apoplexy by hard work is legion. The num
ber of men who have died from that disease
on account of too much ease and luxury is
ten times legion.
It is not excessive labor of any kind tbat
kills men. Some of the world's great work
ers die before their time, but it is because
they neglect some simple rules for preserv
ing health, to adhere to which would not in
the least interfere with the sum or quality
of their work, but rather would be good for
both. It is want of method that drives men
into their graves. Some men will insist that
their business compels them to irregularities
itt the matters of sleep and meals.
With some experience among professional,
literary and business men, we have not
yet seen the man who was necessarily obliged
by the weight of his affairs to so deviate
from regularity in sleeping or eating as to
injure himself. The loss now and then of a
few hours' sleep, or even a whole night's
rest, will not kill anybody. A little occa
sional starvation would be rather beneficial
than otherwise td a vast majority of men
and women. And if men vary so far from
the dictates of reason as to impair their
physical or mental capacities, it is not over
work but mismanagement that is to blame.
In place of advising men to coddle them
selves, the cry should be, "Lay on, and spare
not!" Francis Murphy, the temperance agi
tator, recently said in New York
that the prevailing characteristic of
young Americans was their indisposition
to earn their living by honest labor, This is
the hasty generalization of an ignorant man
but the dislike to an earnest struggle with
the affairs of life is spread abroad quite suf
ficiently already, without receiving encour
agement from people who, by chance, and
certainly not by any over-work, have secured
the attention of the unthinking.
Is history repeating itself? Four years
ago we had high Republican authority for
the statement that the "strumpet of cor
ruption" was traversing the Third Congres
sional district, and now from all quarters
we hear reports that Washburn agents are
traversing the district seeking to pluck the
Congressional crown from Dr. Stewart, and
place it on the brow of the youngest mem
ber of "The Family." It would be inter
esting to know what inducements Mr. Wash
bum can offer any other Republican, unless

it is hard cash. These being days of re
sumption, perhaps Washburn has resumed
the tactics of 1874.
TJBTB BANKRUPT ZAW?'BM'
""$*
Though the bill repealing the bankrupt
law has passed both houses, it still lacks con
siderable of becoming a law. The bill orig
inally passed the Senate and was amended
in the House. It now has to go before the
Senate again for concurrence in the amend
ments of the House, and it is possible there
may be some delay in the agreement. After
its final passage several days are pretty
sure to elapse before its approval by the
President.
Up to the time when the President actually
signs the repeal bill, the present lawis in force
and can be made available by parties wish
ing to use it. The law requires those hav
ing no assets to obtain the consent of one
fourth in number and one-third in amount
of those proving up their claims in order to
obtain their discbarge. Those who have
been honestly unfortunate will have no trou
ble in securing relief, but a contest with the
present condition of the iaw will be likely
to prevent the debtor" from making head
way.
BLAIR INTERVIEWED.
Be Did not Instigate the Florida En
pose but is not Surprised.
[Washington Star, April 24.]
A reporter of the Star found Hon. Mont
gomery Blair in his office at his residence
on Pennsylvania avenue this morning. The
reporter inquired of him if he had seen the
dispatch announcing the confession of Mc
Lin and Dennis, of the Florida State can
vassing board? Mr. Blair leaned back in
his chair and replied that he bad.
What do you think of it? inquired the re
porter.
BlairI think it a confession, though
tardy, on the part of the criminals.
MB. BLAIB DISAVOWS HAVING HAD ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THE CONFESSION.
Do you know, Mr. Blair, that it is hinted
that you had a good deal to do with this
confession that, in fact, it is a part of your
campaign against the President? asked the
reporter.
Blair:That suspicion in unfounded, and
any statement to that effect is untrue. I re
ceive a great deal more credit from the news
papers than I deserve. I can't even go to
the capitol to attend to my court business
unless it is announced that Montgomery
Blair was at the capitol to-day trying to
arouse members of Congress to active par
ticipation in his scheme for unseating Hayes.
Now, the truth is that I have not spoken to
more than half a dozen members on that
subject without their having first broached
it.
Star.Do you consider this alleged con
fession of much value will it have much
weight?
BlairBy it one pregnant circumstance
has been added to what everybody already
knew. Every person of average intelligence
knows that Hayes was not elected. The
confession strengthens a truth which no one
doubts. Mr. Barlow, attorney general of
New York, himself said that Hayes was not
elected. It is a confession of the fellows
who aided in
"T HE GBEAT FBATJD."
Star.What were the motives, do you
think, which led to the confession was it
forced?
Blair.The confession is, I think, wholly
voluntary. I understand that McLin has
recently had a series of misfortunes. He
has lost his children and been much de
pressed. This, with other misfortunes, has
awakened him, and his conscience has been
pricked. There is no doubt but that this
confession is genuine and wholly voluntary.
Star.Why has it been sent to Washing
ton?
Blair.I suppose because this place is
the focus of public opinion, and because the
attention of Congiess can bo directly called
to it.
Star.Will it be
rBBSENTED TO CONGRESS?
BlairI dare say it will.
StarHow can it be brought to the atten
tion of that body?
BlairAny member could present it by
arising and saying that he had an authentic
document in his possession, bearing on the
subject now before the judiciary committee,
which he would like to have referred to that
committee
StarCould you tell me to whom the doc
ument has been sent?
BlairI do not know. You newspaper
men can find that out. All I know is what I
see in the papers.
MB. BLAIB HOPEFUL OF HIS PLAN.
StarDo you expect, Mr. Blair, that any
thing will come of this whole matter?
BlairCertainly I do. I believe Mr. Hayes
will be turned out of the position he unlaw
fully fills. I cannot belfeve that the Ameri
can people are so utterly devoid of moral
sense as to allow him to hold the office of
President.
StarYou intend, then, to keep up your
movement.
BlairThere it is again! My movement
The newspapers persist in saying Blair's
movement, Blair's scheme, Blair's game, and
so on. It is no movement of mine. It is a
movement of the people, which is perhaps
slowly, but steadily extending. The papers
will talk of how Blair got his little bill
through the Maryland legislature, and speak
as if I owned the whole of that body and
also the State of Maryland. The truth is
that bill would have passed the legislature
before it did if it had not been introduced by
me.
MB. TILDEN NO HAND IN IT.
StarMr. Blair, it is hinted that Mr. Til
den induced you to adopt the course you
have pursued in advocating the question of
the validity of the President's title. Is ythat
true?
BlairNo, Mr. Tilden has had no hand in
anything that I have done. I do not think
he is any way connected with these matters.
They are the result of honest public senti
ment.
StarDid you frame the bill which has
been introduced in Congress?
BlairNo, I did not. It was drawn up orig
inally by Mr. David Dudley Field. It is now
before the judiciary committee and I am try
ing to attend to my law business.
Thanking Mr. Blair for his courtesy, the
reporter withdrew.
The 1'eopl* Want Edgerton.
[Albert Lea Enterprise.]
There is a lull in the Congressional fight
in this district. All the newspapers run by
postmasters or any other federal officials,
have announced themselves for Dunnell.
Hon. A. J. Edgerton, of Dodge County,
seems to be the choice of a great many
people in this district, not holding govern
ment positions by virtue of Dunnell.
Office of Doubtful Utility.
[Rochester Post.]
Mr. Henry M. Knox, of St. Paul, has
been appointed by Governor Pillsbury to
the office of public examiner, an office of
very doubtful utility, created by the last
Legislature, on the recommendation of the
Governor.
He Works by Contraries.
[Red Wing Republican.]
An Eastern paper says "Ignatius Donnelly
would like to go to Congress." This is
premature. He has not declared that he is
not a candidate, nor given any other sign of
a desire to go. ^^^im^i

Some means should be devised to prevent
pedestrians crossing the river by way of the

Lecture hi/ Dr. Stole.
The lecture at Association Hall was at
tended by over a thousand people, and the
speaker gave the greatest satisfaction. Dr.
Stolz treats this troubled question of intem
perance from a new and scientific stand
point, and that his lectures are of lasting
benefit is no question. He also seems to be
well supported by the best authorities in his
profession. The doctor states that all stim
ulant drinks or food, such specially as spiced
condiments and distilled liquors, cieate
the system a fever, inflammation, and hence
reaction must follow, and whatever will
cause, first an exhilaration, and then, as a
secondary effect, prostration of the system,
is injurious to the health, and should not be
indulged in by anybody. We are sorry that
we have not space to report the doctor's lec

book-keeper for the Tribune Company, had
a rather rough experience with a vicious
horse. Mr. Swift in attempting to get into
tha carriage in front of the postoffice slipped
and fell. The horse started up street at a
lively rate of speed. One wheel of the
vehilcle passed over him.
Mr.. Swift suffered eome slight injuries
about the face, but nothing ot a serious
nature. The horse ran up Second stieet to
Second avenue north, thence to Washington
avenue, where, at the corner, the animal
ran upon the sidewalk. Here the car
nage was overturned and the
horse thrown upon his side. Before he
could gain his feet and continue, the by
standers had captured him, and prevented a
further continuance of the Sunday morning
diversion. The horse was uninjured and
the carr.age but slightly damaged.
BISMARCK /UVZ ITS MAKE UP.
How a "tilobe" Correspondent Gave Offence
When Oug ht to Have Been Th.?nked
for Aiding a Change Through Publicity.
[Correspondence of the Globe.]
BISMABCK, April 24.My letter to the
GLOBE, descriptive of Bismarck has drawn
from certain quarters remarks not at all com
plimentary to your correspondent, and a
threat to write to the old lady of Third street.
Neither circumstance would induce me to
forward this letter were it not that 1 am ac
cosed of misrepresentation, and of vindic
tively assailing the city, charges that are
without foundation in fact. In writing of
Bismarck, as it was my duty to do, I could
not picture a paradise allege a healthful
prosperity or predict permanence for
the place, simply because such
would be unwarranted by fact as I and every
impartial writer must view them. There
was nothing malignant, ungenerous or un
true in my letter which tieated of the city
and life here, very briefly and exactly as I
found them. True, I said that the town
consisted of log houses and low frame build
ings, with exceptions, and that liquor inter
ests and sporting elements preponderated,
statements that I reiterate, and challenge my
assailants to successfully refute. Bismarck
has a population of about 1,200, contains
about 1,000 buildings of all kinds, -yet this
soi disant "city" has upwards of sixty
licensed liquor houses, while gambling is
carried on in an open, unblushing manner:
and houses of prostitution are numerous and
conspicuously located. Can this be denied?
Bismarck has a few commercial houses of
excellent standing, doing a large business
and enjoying liberal credit East. She has,
also, a moral element in her heterogeneous
society, as indicated by her churches,
schools, courts, and officers of the law, all
of which was duly accredited in the letter
that gave offence, but that these are in the
majority, and should outweigh detrimental
features in making an estimate of the peace,
is something that I am not prepared to ad
mit. I repeat my regrets that any one should
feel aggrieved at my letter, but if the
head and front of my offending
consist merely in writing the truth, then
must I be justified by every friend of the
GLOBE who reads that paper for the purpose
of receiving authentic information of per
sons, places and events. L. F. W.

WnrooM, Cottonwood county, Minn.,
April 25th, 1878.Thisjwrtion of the State
is settling up very fast. It is a fine county
of land, and a good class of people are com
ing in to possess it. Quite a nua?ber of
large farms have already been started, and
purchases have been made for others that
will be opened this season.
Windoni is the county seat, and
numbers a population of four or
five hundred people, full of hope and grand
expectations. All along this line of road
farmers are titling far more land than ever
before, and the sod will be turned for double
the area another season. Windom is located
on the Des Moines river, near the southern
boundary of the county, It is a thrifty,
bright looking town, and the people have a
Yankeefied, intelligent and business appear
ance. They support the necessary
number of business houses, lawyers,
doctors, preachers, town and county
officers, and they are a moral, orderly, well
disposed community themselves. Quite a
conspicuous school building looks down
upon the town from a commanding eleva
tion, and a pretty little church greets the
pilgrim as he wanders out in search of
the droppings of the sanctuary. The Win
dom Reporter, a bright seven column folio
sheet, published by S. & E. C.
Huntington, and edited by the
hitter gentleman, is one of the live en
terprisises of the place. There are three
hotels all well spoken of. Hyatt house,
Windom hotel, and Mankato house.
The former, kept by A. YYarren, is cer
tainly a very pleasant place to stop at. At
the School House hall, a teachers institute
has been in session for the last two weeks,
conducted by Prof. Kirk, an instructor high
ly spoken of. Twenty-five or thirty teach
ers have been in attendance, and the interest
manifested is almost equal to an old
fashioned religious revival. Saturday of
this week concludes the programme.
Four and a half miles northwest of here,
at a little town on the railroad called Bing
ham Lake, the Mennonite colony is located.
They are an industrious and frugal people,
honest and remarkably peaceable. Law they
shun as they would a fiery dragon. Churches
and schools are fostered and the young be
gin to talk some English. Many families
have their houses and barns under the same
roof, sepaiated by partitions of course. It is
an economical way of lining but not very
stylish. In addition to their cultivated
fields, each family has its well-tilled garden,
and what it produces goes far towards sup
porting the family. Men, women and children
are healthy looking, cheerful, and appear to
see only the bright side of the picture. They
are farming as if they were in earnest this
year, and with a favoiablo season they will
raise enough for homo consumption and
have a little 1o sell.
This county is more rolling than the coun
ties on either side of it, and the lakes, of
which there are a large number, have bolder
margins and are of greater depth. These
peculiar bodies of water, pure and sparkling,
are the glory of this wide stretch of piairie
country. Skirting nearly all of them more
or less timber abounds fish and water-fowl
inhabit them in large numbers they lelieve
the monotony as the traveler wanders over
the treeless and trackless region finally thoy
aie the reservoirs that hold the surplus wa
ters against the day of need to be distributed
over the country by the law of evaporation
and condensation. They are the inexhausti
ble fountains that help swell the great
arteries of the continent and around them a
rich and prosperous people will cluster, and
cities will grow on their borders, and the pro
lific soil of the intervening country will give up
its mighty increase when quickened by the
hand of industry. This is not a visionary
dream, a chimerical speculation, it is all
within the bounds of reasonable probability,
and it requires not the mind of a seer to read
the facts in the signs of the times. All this
northern region is rapidly settling up with
a hardy, intelligent and enterprising people,
a people with bone and muscle and brain
enough to subdue matter and conquer the
primitive condition of the country. The great
preponderance of the world's intelligence,
wealth, and numerical power, lies noith of a
parallel corresponding with the southern
boundary of Minnesota. That warm climates
produce effeminate nations is a universal
law of the human race. Labor is what
makes noble men and women. In warm
climates animate natuie is merely a dreamy
existence. There is nothing in the nature
of those countries to stimulate to exertion.
Among northern nations the law of labor is
the corner stone they build upon.

To Prey on Urltlsli Commerce.
SAN FHAKCISCO, April 27.It is reported
this morning, by parties who claim to be
the plot, that in anticipation of the breaking
out of hostilities between England and Itus
sia, a movement is on foot to fit out a priva
teer in this port to prey on Butish com
merce. Letters of marque from the Russian
government are already here blank, wait
ing for a declaiation of war to be failed out.
Negotiations are under way for the purchase
of one of a number of steamers now laid up
ALmida creek, on the opposite side of the
bay. Commissions for the officers are also
here and^ funds to carry out the project.
Over two hundred men have signed articles
binding themselves to engage in the enter
prise, recruits being mostly drawn from the
idle class who are ready for anything.
Captain Waddell, late of the wrecked Pacific
mail steamer City of San Francisco, former
ly in command of the rebel privateer Shen
andoah, is mentioned as the
probable commander, and Captain
Lapidge, late of the Pacific mail service,
is named as one of the officers. An attempt
will be made to procure a number of boys
from the training ship Jamestown for ser
vice as midshipmen. The parties profess to
mean business, and will be prepared to move
the instant war is declared. From other
sources it is learned that the Russian cor
vette Craysser, now lying in position, is
prepared for instant action. The- object of
her long delay here is to obtain the earliest
possible news of an outbreak of hostilities
and at once to go to sea to lie in wait for
British vessels bound to this port. It is
understood that with the exception of the
corvette Opal, and the small gunboat Rocket
at Victoria, and a frigate which is supposed
to be somewhere in the neighborhood of
Panama, taere is not a single British war
vessel in the North Pacific to interfere with
the designs of Russian cruisers, and it is
probable tnat vessels at Victoria would be
retained there for defensive purposes.
