Gov. Marshall's reflection upon him.
TitACY MKTCALF seeing to be Washburn's
representative in St. Paul. It is a little cool
in Tracy to be mixing in at a Republican
iuneral, but an we believe it is not the custom
to be very exclusive in holding "wakes," we
suppose Tracy can be squeezed in.
There have been several Democratic papers
which have kicked over the traces during
the last week, but now they have all been
brought into ordereven the New York Sun
and the Cincinnati Enquirer. There is
nothing like leatherthat is to say, like
snapping the whip.
THEHE has been none such funny bull for
a long time as that contained in the manifes
to sent out by the ltepublicans yesterday.
They are enormously indignant because, as
they say, the Democrats assail the de facto
President's title by demanding any investiga
tion of fraud, and yet they (the Republicans)
say that they wish the fullest investigation
into all the alleged frauds." Little Gen.
Hale is not a Blaine, nor even a Chandler.
THE GLOBK will open its columnsand
do so with pleasureto publish the sermon
of the clergyman who has humanity and re
ligion enough to preach against murder in
insane asylums or other public institutions.
When ministers teach practical Christianity,
people will not only listen but will be influ
enced by the sermons. It is, however,
waste of breath to spin out long theoretical
arguments without any practical end in
view. There neyer was a more imperative
duty facing the clergy of Minnesota than
that which humanity now calls upon them
to performto-wit, to demand the fair and
square investigation of the St. Peter
atrocity.
CLEBGIMEN in England are now waging
one of their periodical disputes about the
propriety of their going to the theater. Af
ter all, discuss this and discuss that, there is
one safe rule for the ministers of God's
word:"Judge this rather, that no man pot
a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in
his brother's way." The GLOBE, with re
spect to the clergy who believe otherwise,
thinks that the stage is amoral agent but it
is certain that any clergyman who has any
doubt about the matter, will be on the safe
side, as far as he is concerned, by staying
away from the theater and not putting him
self in a position to have wicked thoughts
injected into his head, or setting what he
may deem an unhealthy example by his
presence.
Tmt Democratic Legislature of Ohio has
within the last few days laid out the State
into new Congressional districts. The Re
publicans pretend to be most immensely in
dignant because their opponents have thus
undone the unfair apportionment by which
a Democratic State has been able to send to
Congress a delegation of which the majority
was Republican. We have not sufficient
knowledge of the affairs of the State to say
with confidence that the apportionment by the
Democrats has been as fair as might be.
Certainly, however, we can say that if the
Democratic Legislature of Ohio has favored
its own party it has done nothing
more than the Republicans have done in
Indiana and the very State of Ohio, not to
speak of New York. As regards New York
we call to witness the leading Republican
paper of the countrythe New York Times
which says:
"The Republicans could at any time within
the last two sessions have secured a fair appor
tionment bill. A Republican Legislature must
accept the responsibility for a very contempti
ble piece of partisan trickery, and the men who
have supposed that the defeat of any new ap
portionment would better the party's chances
for electing a United States Senator, will prob
ably find that they have reckoned without
their host. It is a very dangerous admission
for a political party to make, that it cannot
afford to do right, and it is one which, in the
present case, will find very little countenance
from the majority of the party on whose be
half it is made."
HOW THE PRECEDENT WAS ESTAB-
LISHED.
Ten years ago Bill Washburn was a candi
date for Congress. His rival was Ignatius
Donnelly. The St. Paul Press was then an
ardent Washburn organ. Capt. Russell
Blakeley, ex-Governor Marshall, Gen. R. N.
McLaren, Geo. W. Moore, etc., were also
Washburnites, and manipulated the wires.
At that time Ramsey and Dakota counties
were known to be strongly favorable to Don
nelly, while Hennepin, as usual, was
for Washburn, on local grounds.
By referring to the call of that year we find
that Hennepin was given twelve delegates in
the convention, while Ramsey and Dakota
counties had but six each. The dispropor
tion of 24 to 12 is no more than 12 to G, yet
in 18G8 we did not hear the Republicans who
now howl over Fletcher's game, entering any
protest. On the contrary, the men who now
shriek, were the manipulators of the 12 to
game. They had a game to play then which
made them willing to exalt Hennepin county
and debase Ramsey.
Without entering into the consideration of
the merits or demerits of the present con
troversy in the ranks of our Republican
friends, it is evident that Fletcher has, here
in, eminent precedent for his two to one
game. The Republicans* who now hold up
their hands in horror because Hennepin
county has double the representation of
Ramsey, deliberately sold out the jiolitical
prestige of this county in the Republican or
ganization ten years ago. They should not
murmur now that they are hoist by their
own petard.
The virtuous indignation of the Pioneer
Pirns at the present time is amusing to those
familiar with the tergiversations of that con
cern. No more unfair, unscrupulous or dis
honest sheet in political affairs ever existed
anywhere, and that Fletcher and Washburn
should be able to shock its sense of proprie
ty is a joke worthy of Puck and. Punch com
bined.
OF course the game of the committee on
Thursday was in the interest of Washburn
and against Stewart. It ws unfair and un
just to Stewart, but there is no occasion for
Republican excitement on the question. It
was the same game which has been repeated
ly played by the committees of that party,
and the men who denounce it to-day have
been the endorsers of the same trickery pre
viously. Possibly next time the tables will
be reversed and Fletcher, Washburn, it al.
may find their ox gorec1.
TURKISH WOMEN.
During the time that has elapsed since
the Russian army crossed the river Pruth,
about one year ago, there has been a great
increase of knowledge in America concern
ing the manners and customs of the Turks.
The busy pens of "war correspondents,"
when not occupied in narrating dreadful in
cidents of the battle-field, have frequently
been turned to descriptions of the ways in
which the subjects of the Sultan live and
move and have their being in ordinary
times of peace. Still the general idea en
tertained by most Americans about the so
cial life of Turkey, is gathered rather from
reading the Arabian Night Ta'es than from
any modern recital.
Some time ago, however, a translation was
made of a book written by Edmond de Me
dicis, an extremely learned Italian traveler
in European Moslem countries. If we may
believe Medicis, the well-to-do Turkish
woman has a peculiarly enviable lot in life.
The male Turk treats her with a knightly
courtesy entirely unknown among the East
ern Franks. No Turkish soldier dare lift
his hand against a Turkish woman in the
public streets, and, although assaults of that
kiud are not common in America, they are
frequent enough in England. The husband
invariably treats his wife with ceremonious
respect. The mother is the object of pecu
liar deference.
When a divorce is ordered, and that is
very seldom, the chances are that it is the
woman who seeks the separation. A little
ill-treatment, or something that will pass
for ill-treatment, will under any Vizier give
a woman the right to divorce.
We have been used to thinking of the
Turkish women as cooped up in houses
with barred windows but it seems from
Mr. de Medicis' story that the quickest girl
in a Yankee town is not nearly so much of a
flirt as these dark-eyed, full-lipped hanums
who stroll through the streets of Stamboul
with their gauzy veils drawn over their eyes.
The American wanderer in Turkish streets
may be taken "all aback" by the stare of a
pair of black eyes, and he
may think that he has made
a conquest but never was he more mistaken.
The bright-eyed, red-cheeked Circassian who
has thrown her glances on him, had done so
in the same spirit as a little child who was
looking for candies. Sometimes even a
Turkish lady will go so far as to drop a flow
er from her carriage window when a good
looking Frank is passing and in this way
many a fatuous traveler is ensnared.
Polygamy, in fact, is not at all in favor in
Turkey. Blue Beard belongs to another
nation. You may have more than one wife
in Turkey, but, so far from that being con
sidered a point in your favor, the law of
Mo hamet teaches that you are indulging in
an unnecessary luxury. Signor de Amiois
affirms that four-fifths of the Turks in Con
stantinople are against polygamy. In his
judgment the reformation of Turkey de
pends upon the gradual abolition of polyga
my. He thinks the time is ripe, and with
the moral assistance of Christian Europe
and America, he has no doubt .that the
change will be effected in a few years.
A Card from Hon Xi. Fletcher.
To the Editor of the Globe.
If the interview given in your paper with
Gov. Marshall yesterday morning is correctly
stated, there are several errors I wish to cor
rect. The Governor says:
"When it came to the matter of apportionment
I asked Fletcher if he had made any calcula
tion upon the difference of the vote in 1876 and
1877, and he said he had not. I supposed at
that time I conld believe him and so I con
cluded to make no point on it. When I learned
how it stood I protested against it."
Whether Gov. Marshall believes me or
not, it is true that I had made no computa
tion or comparison of the vote of 1876 and
1877. and no member of the committee made
any objection to the basis of representation,
and the resolution was unanimously adopted.
Later on in the proceedings of the meeting
Gov. Marshall took up the Legislative Man
ual, and, on examining the vote as cast by
Hennepin and Ramsey eounties, made a mo
tion to reconsider, without giving any rea
son for such reconsideration, or making any
protest against the basis of apportionment.
Every member of the committee deemed
the principle of basing the representation
upon the presidential vote as fair. Gov.
Marshall it appears, was "in favor of the
principle, but agin its application."
The records of the meeting do not show
any protest by Gov. Marshall against the
baisis of representation, and the only things
he did protest against were the time and
place, which does not surprise any one.
Let us have peace. Yours truly.

RAILROAD TIME CHANGES.
Important Changes Made by Different Kail
roads in Banning of TrainsTime Re
duced and New Connections.
The columns of the GLOBE this morning
contain the announcement of important
changes in the running time of several of
the railroad lines centering in this city.
MILWAUKEE & ST. PATTL.
By the new time card on this road, which
goes into effect this evening, the running
time between St. Paul and Chicago via the
new route, has been shortened very materi
ally. No change has been made in the de
parture of trains, but the morning express
will arrive hereafter at 5:47 instead of 6:10
as heretofore, and the afternoon express at
1:54, one hour and six minutes earlier than
before.
The changes on the Iowa & Minnesota
division are important, embracing as they
do, an additional through St. Louis and
Kansas City express, making two trains dai
ly, and also a change in the time of arrival
of the morning train from those points.
Trains for these points will hereafter depart
at G:10 A. 3. and 8:25 p. xt., and arrive at
G:27 p. M. and G:50 A. M. The through Chi
cago express leaves as before at G:10 A. M.,
and arrives at G:27. The Ovvatonna passen
ger will leave at 5:15 instead of 4:50. as be
fore, and arrive at 11:25 instead of 10:50.
Between St. Paul and- Minneapolis trains
will as follows: Leave St. Paul 6:00.
8:25, 10:05. and 11:55 A. M., and 2:00 and
5:30 p. M. Arrive St. Paul 0:50, 9:00 and
11:15 A. M. and 2:35, 4:15, 6:27, 7:35 and
9:35 i\ M. Leave Minneapolis for
St. Paul G:00. 8:15 and 6:25 A. M.. 1:50, 3:30,
5:15, G:45 and 8:20 p. ai., and arrive at Min
neapolis, 6:55,9:10 and 10:50 A. M., and 12:40.
2:45, and G:15 p. ar.
ST. PAUL & SIOUX CITY.
This road makes a very important an
nouncement. giving a through Kansas City
express train, mentioned at length elsewhere
in these columns. Under the new arrange
ment the through express will leave at 2:45
p. M., and arrive at 1:40 p. M. The hour tor
the departure of the Worthingtou accommo
dation has been made a little earlier, 7:05 A.
M., the arrival being as heretofore, 6:30 p. M.
MINNEAPOLIS & ST. LOUIS.
This road also announces soiue changes
of interest to the traveling community, es
pecially the fact of a reduction of its run
ning time to and from St. Louis. The
through express will leave Minneapolis
at 4:10 p. ii. and arrive at 1:20 p. M.
and the through mail and express at 6:50
A. M. and arrive at 11 A. M. Passengers
from St. Paul to connect with the 4*10 r. M.
train take the 2:45 p. M, train on the St.
Paul & Sioux City road, or the 3:35 p. M.
on the St. Paul Pacific road. Other de
partures and arrivals will be not iced upon
examination of the time table.
THE STOCK 11 REE OERS.
The Board of Directors.' Meeting Called Yes
terday a Failure For Want of a Ouorum
Indications of a "Little Unpleasantness."
There is something wrong somewhere in
the Stock Breeders' Association. For some
time past the reporters have been kept on
the qui vive for a prospective meeting of the
board of directors, before which would come
several matters of moment to the associa
tion. By some means each of the several
newspapers announced a different date for
the meeting. To remove the uncertainty
thus occasioned, Hon. Wm. S. King, presi
dent of the association, called at the GLOBE
office and wrote out a correction, appointing
the meeting for 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon, at the Metropolitan hotel. At the
hour hamed the GLOBK representative was at
the designated place. So was Col.
King, president of the asso
ciation Dan Woodmansee, secretary, and
director: Hon. Wm. Fowler, Washington,
and W. G. Hendrickson, Ramsey, directors:
R. Barden, treasurer R. C. Judson, member
and secretary of the State agricultural soci
ety: Lyman C. Dayton and E. A. Parker.
Here was a goodly number of worthy gen
tlemen, but only three of them happened to
be embraced in the callMessrs. Fowler,
Hendrickson and Wordrnanseeand these
three not being a majority of the board of
directors, which is composed of seven per
sons, a meeting could not be held, and a
further postponement was had to early in
June, date not fixed. In the side talk that
ensued it leaked out that, although the gath
ering was to be exclusively a directors' meet
ing, less than the number of direc
tors requisite to make a quorum
had been notified, and that there seemed to
be a disposition on the part of some to in
definitely postpone such a meeting. It also
appeared from statements made that there
were good leasons for such meeting, among
which are the following: The adoption of the
rules to gqvern the association, the fixing
and execution of bonds for the financial of
ficers, and the completion of the contract for
the exhibition of the association this fall.
There are other matters requiring attention,
it is said, but these are the most important,
and some of the members take the ground
that they have even now been delayed too
long. The GLOBK knows nothing of the
"true inwardness" of this matter, anJi the
above only gives what is the current talk in
the certain quarters. June is not far off.
Until that time in the language of a Fletch
er, "Let us have peace."
Funeral of Dennis Murphy.
As announced to take place in yesterday's
GLOBE, the funeral of Dennis Murphy occur
red at 8 o'clock yesterday from the cathe
dral. The obsequies were attended by trade
union of cigar makers, to which craft the
deceased belonged, of whom forty-seven pre
ceded the hearse, neatly clad and white
gloved. The following gentlemen, also cigar
makers, acted as pall bearers: Jacob Amos,
Thos. McGinnis, Adam Fetsch, Sylvester
Sulzback, John Mark and C. C. Salisbury.
The body, enclosed in a neat casket, upon
which flowers were strewn, was received by
the procession at St. Joseph's hospital, where
the deceased had died. Thence the
cortege proceeded to the cathedral,
where the usual religious ceremonies were
performed, and the remains were subsequent
ly interred. A few members of Mr. Mur
phy's old regiment, the Sixth Minnesota,
were also in attendance.
Mr. Mnrphy came to this city in 1860 from
Chicago to work at his trade for John Hart,
of the former firm of Hart & Kenkel, and,
with the exception of the three years he
served in the war, he has continued in St.
Paul since his advent. On June 21, 1868,
the "old" cigar-makers' union, since dis
banded, and a more recent one formed, was
organized, the deceased being one of the
original members, and always a very active
member. The original officers of the union
were Sylvester Salzback, president Patrick
Aylward, since deceased, vice president
C. C. Salisbury, treasurer and Charles Ring
wald, secretary. The following members of
the "old" union are the only ones now re
maining in St. Paul, and all attended yester
day's funeral: Sylvester Sulzbach, Charles
lltner, Jacob Arth, C. Salisbury and
Charles Ringwald. The large number of
his fellow workmen present at the inter-
mnt speaks sufficiently and conclusively of
the deservedly high estimation in which the
lamented Mr. Murphy was held by those in
his own immediate walk of life.
CRIMINAL CALENDAR.
What the District Conrt Ha Got on It

The following cases constitute the crim
inal calendar of the current general term of
the district court, as far as indictments have
been found by the grand jury: Thomas

now which case will be proceeded with first.
It will be observed that, although the cases
are numerous, the crimes are not verv
heinous, with the exception of the charges
of criminal assault, the most serious being
that against the negro Anderson.

CONSTANTINOPLE FEVEUISH.
The news from Constantinople has a tendency
to check conclusions favored by the St. Peters
burg telegrams. Great excitement and alarm
prevails in Constantinople, but the idea of an
attack and forcible occupation of the shores of
the Bosphorus is discredited by the fact that
Prince Labaloff. the Russian ambassador, will
have an interview with the Sultan to present
his credentials to-da3-, and has an appointment
to meet Layard, the British ambassador, on
Tuesday. Other.rumors, such as that the Rus
sians have demanded that the Porte enforce the
withdrawal of the British fleet and permit the
Russians to ocenpy both sides of the Bosphorus
are clearly the result of the panic.
The Timix says the war has already cot Rus
sia about one hundred million of pounds.
