PINCHEACX has a good deal better sense,
and can see into the future with a much
clearer vision than many of his untanned
brethren. He declares that Grant sa a Presi
dential candidate is stronger now than he
will ~be a year hence, and he does not think
he will be thb choice of the party. He is
undoubtedly correct. Unless the Grant
blowers and stukers can get up afresh en
thusiasm just previous to the Republican na
tional convention which shall last until the
work of that body Js complete, thou* hopes
will be doomed to Jisnppointment.
Tow EWXNO is sangui Le of the future of
the National party, and predicts that it will
work a revolution in the other oigamzations,
though its power must be exercised by
union with either the Democratic or the Re
publican party. It is in the power of the
Demociatic party, he holds, to control their
vote by a wise policy In opposition to forced
resumption and the ruinous schemes of the
money powei. Mr Ewmg places the issue
squaiely before the people when he stales
that the vital questions of the day are the re
peal of the resumption act and the substi
tution of greenbacks for national bank
notes.
JUDGE KEIXEY, of Pennsylvania, is of the
opinion that Sherman will try to resume,
and that so doing he will very likely bring
on a panic. He does not believe that re
sumption can be maintained, and that its
attempt will prove the grandest farce in the
history of our country, but that it will like
wise prove an expensive and ruinous one.
This is the opinion of all men who have
closely watched the pi ogress of events. Re
sumption will pro\e a big bonanza to the
speculators and money brokers of the East.
It will be ruinous to the merchants, manu"
factureis and farmers of the "West. This is
as ceitain as anything in the future can be.
Sheiman is bent on the destiuction of m

THE &1VIADLIAG Sit ASS KJs.Tri.ES.
There were in olden times just such de
ceitful and unjjpr measures as the little
biass kettle now muse by the Minneapolis
Milleia' association. The, farmers Moses'
timo pioteated against being swindled ly
such conlnvances, and their piotest was
heaid on high, lhis was the law enacted foi
their protection, and promulgated in the
35th and 30th veises of the nineteenth chap
ter of Leviticus
Ye shih do no unrighteousness in judgment,
in melejard, lifwught, or in measure.
Just balances just weights a just epbah
and a just hm shall ye have, I ain the Loid
\o ur God, which broughlfyou oat of me laud
ot E^jpt
Again the command is emphasized ithe
book of Deuteronomy, for we find written
the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and six
teenth veises of the twenty-fifth chapter
these woids
Thou shalt not have thy bag divers
wi l^hts, a gieat and a small.
Tuou shalt not have in thine House divers
m( asiues a gi eat and a small

that thy daj may be lengthened in the land
which the Loid thy giveth thee.
For all thai do such ngs and all that do

Again we find Solomon condemning the
swindling brass kettle in the most unmeas
uied teims. In hia Proveibs he says:
A false balance is abomination to the Lord
but a just weight is his deJight.
A just weight and balance are the Lord's* all
the vvei^hts ot the bag are his woik.
Diveih weight-*, and vera measures, both
of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
Diveis weights are an abomination unto the
Lord, and a false balance lb not good.
Ihe prophet Micah unquestionably cast
his hoiosoope in the light direction, and in
his vision of the future saw Washburn and
tho Mj**aeapohs wheat ring grown fat and
rich thiough plundeung the faimers. Here
is what he said of such men:
Are there yet the treasure* of wickedness in
the house ot the wicked, and the scant measure
th it is abominably?
bhall 1 count them pure with the wicked bal
ances, and witti the bag ot deceitful weights?
lor th nch men thereof are full of violence
and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies
and then, tongue is deceittul in theli mtb.
These are the words of the law and the
piophets as applied to Washburn and his
swindling biajs kettle. Condemnation could
come fi /m no highei sourceoould not be
moro emphatic W ho will be found with the
temenfy to defend them when heaven itself
has spoken then lepioof
PEitrucr ACCUHACT.
A committee of Hennepi county farmers
con dolled by the same piejudices as Mi
Hodges, fully heheviu with him that they
weic being cheated by the little bruss tester
the weighing wheat, have made a formal
trial ot the little biass bucket, testing it bj the
t indard scale and halt buhe United btato*
government seal, in possc-sum Hennepin
county, and found that the little biass bucket
is a perfectly accurate measure and the at
tached scale or beam perfectly accurate in its
weighing the wheat. Pioner Press.
The perfect accuracy" proven is visible
only to the editor of the P. P. From the
files of that paper we find that the tests al
luded to by it resulted as follows:
At the Arctic mill
Tho little joker, 52% and 52^ pounds per
bushel.
On common grocers' scale, 54 pounds per
bushel Laiceny, l^and 1% pounds.
At the Holley mill
The little joker, 59% pounds per bushel.
On grocers Buale 60 pounds per bushel. Lar
cenj, pound.
\t ih Anchor mill
The little joker 57 pounds per bushel.
Grocers' scale 58% pounds per bushel. Lar
ceny, 1 pounds.
These diffeiencos appear to be tuflrag, but
if they occur at the line of demaikation be
tween grades they actually make a differ
ence of from eight to twenty cents pet
bushel. So that, by knocking off a quarter
of i ound in the weight of a bus elre
ducing it from No. 2 to No. 3 grade
the swindling brass kettle takes from
the farmer thirteen cents a bushel, which,
on a load of forty bushels, makes a differ
ence of jive dollars and twenty cents. Few
farmers will care to submit to such a loss
without a protest. It should be borne in
mmd, too, that the tost above reoorded was
made under circumstanoes the most favor
able to the instrument, the manipulators
knowing that it wa3 on trial for
its existence. That they can make
it nearly accurate no one doubta, but
the fact that it is a variable standard, and
can be manipulated in the hands of a skill
ful man so as to make a difference of as
JCF~-
Ji
much as five or six pounds to the bushel is
the chief objection to its use urged by the
farmers. This fact, howevtr, is its chief ex
cellence in the eyes of the wheat ring and its
defenders. They do not want an onvarym"
standard of weight and measurement. An
honest tester would not suit their purpose
hence their affection for the one now in use.
The swindling httte brass kettles must go.
The farmers have decieed it.
8HEJtVAVS COXTBAVTIOV SCHEME.
John Sh erman claims that if the accumu
lation of coin proceeds at the present rate,
the amount on hand on the 1st of January
will be equal to two thirds of the greenbacks
outstanding, and that he will therefore have
no difficulty in resuming specie payments
III order to bring the amount up, however,
he will have to suspend the payment of
Umted States bonds, which he has been call
mg in at the rate of five millions a week.
To men who are not versed in the peculiar
pohtiial economy of Sheiman thin statement
of facts will create some rather uncompli
mentary thoughts. It will be .sked why is
it that he is so anxious to retire the gieen
backs from circul itiou when they aie just
the currency the people want. Some mil
inquire why Sherman does not devote the
gold in the treasury to the payment of the
interest-bearing debt of the ceuntry and
save the sum of thirteen millions of dollars
annually for the single item ot interest
S men who have a reputation for busi
ness sagacity will wonder at this, not realiz
ing that different methods are necessary in
the management of the finances of a nation
from the methods employed in one's private
business. It would appear to be the part of
wisdom for the secretary of the tieasuiv to
redeem some of the interest-bearing
debt before he red'ems that which
bears no interest. The tiuth
of the matter is that Sherman is the tool of
the money interests represented by the banks.
He is anxious to mcreasetheir power by giv
ing them the privilege of issuing all the
paper currency in use in the country. He
wanted to retire all the greenbacks, but Con
gress put a stop to his plan of contraction.
Ho is now trying to whip the devil round the
stump, and under the guise of resumption
he will continue his policy of mtracUou
until he has squeezed the life-blood out of
themdustiy of the country. As fast as he
retires the greenbacks from cuculation
througk resumption, tho national banks will
partially supply their piace with notes of
then own issue, and the greenbacks will be
driv from the money markets of the coun
try. It is a shrewd dodge and an expensive
one to the people, but Congiess must ciy a
halt. It3 fiist duty on re assembling must
be to execute the will of the people in this
leaped. No direlection in this respect will
be tolerated.
WAsnnun\s SWINDLED EWPLOTES
M1SE UP TO CVJISE BIN.
Under the head of Squelched," tho St.
Cloud Journal Press quotes with much
gusto the card of Washburn's assignees stat
ing that his employes were paid in full at
the time of his failure As the J. P. is a
land ofhoer of couise it is duty bound to
throw a little abuse of the GLOBE. It ap
pears that Gov. Marshall grew quite excited
a few evenings ago in asaei ting that Wash
burn paid his employes full. Like tbe
Journal Press, he felt obhgid
to denounce as liars all who
differed with him. Unfortunately for the
Governor there were some of Washburn's
swindled laborers present at his meetm*and
they thought they know something on the
subjects lh*y piomptly interrupted him
and informed him that they received from
40 to 60 cents on the dollar and no more,
then the Governor became fairly beautiful
in his rage and denounced these victims of
Washburn's infamous swindles as liars.
That la an easy way of settling a dispute,
tnough not always a Bafe one, but strange
as it may seem, it did not convince the peo
pie ot Little Falls where the "hai" meeting
wi held, and the swindled workmen still ob
stinately msi that they didn't get the
money. Of course Marshall and the J. P.
know bettei than the victims.
The GLOBE has repeatedly asked tie
assignees of Mi. Washburn to give a de
tailed statement of settlement, and again
renews the request. Ih GLOBE will take
pleabuie punting it complete.

Some of the stukeis and bloweis for Maj
Strait in the Second district are endeavoring
to use tne faot of his vote in Congies3 for
Gen. Shields for the position of dooikeepei
of the House among voters of the Irish
nationality to aid his candidacy foi re elec
tion. Unfoitunately lor the Majoi, Mr.
Poebler has a great advant ige over him even
on this narrow platfoim Ih vote of
Major Stiait foi Gen. Shields was given in
pursuance of a trick of the Republican
minority of the House, and with no expecta
tion or desire of conferring benefit or houoi
upon the gallant old soldiei. Mr
Poehlei, howuvei, as a member of the Min
nesota House of Representative fiom Sibley
couniy, showed his appieciation of the abili
ty and sterling integrity of Gen. Shields, by
helping to elect him to the ho orable posi
tion of United States Senator from Minne
sota. The difference in the conduct of
Strait and Poehler in tbe lcatter is that
Strait, in pursuance of a political tnek, gave
Gen. Shields a buncombe vote, while Poehler
gave him his vote when it bestowed honor
upon the recipient. Strait must indeed be
getting badly scared when he rrsorts to such
contemptible means as this to aid his candi
dacy.
GRANTING that there is just grounds for com-
pUmt against the Milleis' asMiciau which,
howevei, has not as yet been made to appeal
it has no bearing upon tn canvass Mr
Washburn. has no interest in and hassiirieaion
nothing to do with this association, and is
no way responsible tor its acts, or those of any
ot its at,eiHs.
It is almost time that the above sample
lie, which we quote from the Moorebead
Advocate, was stopped. The Republican
papers are constantly shouting it, and though
eveiy one knows it is a lie, the newspapers
will reiterate it so often that they will begin
to believe their own falsehood. Mi. Wash
burn has a greater interest in the Millers'
Association than any other one man, because
the great Washburn mills are the largest in
the State. He bases his lie on the small
quibble that his partners hold the formal
membership in the Association. Both

[Detroit Evening News.J
The rumbling which threatened another
eruption of that Niles McMurdy-Gaines
volcano seems to have been a fake alarm
At least the only new fact is a mere rumor
from a not veiy reliable souice that the
bishop of Illinois has so way declared
Ins intention to put his foot down on Mc
Muidv comraj into his jurisdiction.
Public opinion at Niles is very much
divided and the minds of many seem un
settled on tbe eubject. The Epiaooal
cburcb, together with quite a respectable
following of itsiders, lsewdeiitly in sympa
thy with Di. HcMuidy, and looks upon the
charges and insinuations made agaiii&t hjm
as outrageous and cruel, and that the wh
leand
ffair can be accounted for in a mannei
justifying the doctor every respect, ex
cepr, peihaps, his ov officiousness in at
tempting to assist eve bodv, especially tbe
members of his church, in their private and
domestic affairs The stubborn facts, how
ever, make the situation veiy embairassmg,
and, no doubt, distressing.
It is a fact that Gaines and bis wife lived
unhappilj, that Mrs Gaines who is a vain,
coquettish woman, sought the counsel of her
minister and to him told her gi levauces, and
the doctor says, and he is believed by many,
that he simply dischaigud hia duty as her
pastor, and endeavoied, in all suitable ways,
to give hei good advice, to protect hei from
bairn, and lemstate her in good society It
is a fact that Mr Gaines was terribly afflict
ed, came veiy neai dying, was shot at while
in bed, and there seems to be no doubt in
the minds of the community that he wasCongress,
poisoned with arsenic. Al that a div^-ca
suit resulted in a legal separation on*he
gioundsof the infidelity ot the husband, and
that he was an habitual drunkaid. But
there is no evidence that Dr. McMurdy had
au\ thing to do with either.
Many aie disposed to look upon the mattei
of his ddling with Mis Dickson's will as
the worst atn i of his conduct. But this
is explained, quite plausibly too, fiom the
lact that Mis Dickson was a very peculiar
woman, and especially on (he subject of her
will And that she sent for Dr. McMurdj
and asked him to advise hei about it, and he
hemg, in his own estimation at least, skilled
in such matters, drew her will, miking him
self with two others executois theteof, and
providing but $300 for the benefit of the
church. Tbue was no provision by which
as an individual, was to lcceive any ben
efit oi advantage.
Mi. Budd claims that he has been unfairly
dealt wuh, especially by the refusal of Bishop
Gillespie to entertain the formal chaises
which he filed against Dr. McMuidy, and^ui
this case be claims to hare sympathy from
Hollind, Mich where ltseems tbe bishop is
charged with sustiiinng in the leotorship an
unwoithy person. But the people of Niles
aie not lemarkably exercised that diree
lion. Budd and his fueilds claim that there
is more coming soon, and that tlu mqmsi
tois are now fenelin^ out the lectoi's ante
cedents.

the Congressional contest this district,
and was, of course, a heavy supporter of
Washburn. He proceeded to explain that
Washburn is not responsible for the opera
tions of the Minneapolis Miilers' association,
and that the association has dealt fairl and
justly by the farmers. Unfortunately, after
he had finished defending the Millers' asso
ciation he stated that Washburn had hone3t
ly paid aL the obligations held against bim
at the time he made an assignment of his
property several years ago, and that all
workmgmen in his employ at that time were
oaid cash in fall. There were several per
sons present who knew by personal ex
perience that tbe speaker was mistaken, and
as he had expressed a desire for am
person to make such remarks as they
wished, two or three persons briefly referred
to the fact that they and others within their
knowledge had lost from 40 to 60 pei cent,
of dues for work they had dene for Wash
burn. The Governor at once asserted, with
evident anger, that he was ready to under
take to prove any man a liar who asserts that
Washburn had not paid in full every honest
bill for work that had been presented to
bim. This was equivalent to calling some
of oui best citizens hars, and the ill-feeling
in the audience was intense. Col. Kerr and
Searle afterwards spoke at some length
on the political issues, and their evident
candor aud able remarks did much to allay
the ill feeling that had been aroused at the
close of the Governor's speech. But the
moment the speaking was ended one or two
persons arose and commenced to tell when,
where and how they bad been swindled by
Washburn. Ih Governor replied with
growing anger, and tho audience arose and
begun to disperse to avoid hav
ing a disgraceful row. At this
point W. T. Lambert, treasurer of
Momson county, and several other leading
and influential men in this community, went
up to the speaker'n stand and stated to the
Governor that they bad only been able to
collect pait of what W4shburn owed the
tor labor and logs when he made the assign
ment, and they wero willing to bung sworn
witnesses ta the Governoi then and there to
substantiate the truth of ihoir assert ons.
The utmost contusion prevailed, and some
one proposed thue cheers fur Donnellj, and
the cheers weiegiven with astonishing vigcr
Ihe crowd then went to the Vasaly House,
the Goveinoi theie reiteiated his state
ment that he was "leady to undertake to
piove any person a liar." etc. Nearly every
body respective of party, strongly con
demned him for the couise he took Root,
who ran last fall on tbe Republican ticket
for sheriff in this county, said that if the
Goveinoi had applied tbe term hai" to him
in the same mannei as he did to those who
claimed to have been swindled by Washburn,
te could not have restrained himself from
doing the Governor personal violence.
HOD STR\IT.
The Wonderful Set tucev jlo has Rendered

[Le Sa9ur Sentinel. 1
H. B. Strait has now served five years in
and we-should like to know what
he has done for the people of this district
that entitles him to a fouith teim on
gress. Ceitainly if a man has any ability at
all to stait with, five yeais' association with
many of the leading minds of the country
0 lght to give him some knowledge of public
matteis. But the truth is, Strait is too small
a man to make a good Congressman of, and
knowing this himself, he has spent most ot
his time aiound the depaitments com ting
appointments and small favors for those ot
his Republican constituents that he canden
use to keep bim in Congress. To
be sure, he has secured annual appropria
tions of tho people's mouey in sums of
$5,000 and $10,000 a yar to remove snas
from the Minnesota rivei, that are hauled
out on the banks to wa3'i in the next year,
and yet there aie not a dozen steamboat
tncs made on the nver duung anv \ear
He has also done the simple routine duty of
re ommendmg mail mutes and securing the
nop tintment of bis friends as postmasters,
nte-nal revenue collectors, land oihceis,eb\,
as lewards for sending him to Con^res--, and
1 ett^r than all, ho'has been very industrious
tu tending gaiden and held seeds broadcast
ovei his district, where he thought they
would "do tba most good" foi Strait. These
seuds
aie paid tor with the people's tax
who send Stiait to Congiess, and with the'-e as
with the postofhees, mail loutea, aud 11 else,
he simply gives the people back a part of
their money, and then insists upon them
keeping him Congress because of the
favors they have paid tor. And it may bo
remaiked that this is oue of the ctrangtst
exhibitions ot the ignorance of a livge
class
of people that was ever made They tave
been so long used as heweis of wood and
drawers of watei. that mauyot tbem actually
look upon the office holders as then masteis
instead of then servants, and receive the
little gitts in the way of seeds and the like,
which they pay for in taxes, and but a small
part of which is letuitied to them, as gieat
favors fiom the hands of such men as Strait
It is almost tqnal to tbe act of a thief who

WASHBUBN'S Bit* SWINDLE
A Republican Paper Denounces Htm for
aultiifj Out of a Small Half.
I Stevens Count, TribuneRep
Under the heading of "The Whole Case
Stated," the Minneapolis Ti ibune$&\& "The
faimers ought to understand that while theie
are undoubtedly wrongs being committed,
it is not ihe Millers' association, bat the
Elevator comp my or its agents who commit
them.' It al90 states that of its own ki owl
ed0e 't is unable to say what the grade actu
ally is, and that "the millers aie receiving
from tbe points wheie tue complaints are
made, scarcely any No. 3 wheat and also
add that they are told and believe that
the wheat to the farm 13 graded neaily
nil Nos. 3 and 4 Elsewhere we give
the figures, showing the amount of wheat
received aud how it graded. These b^ures
are coirect, and were taken fiom the ele
vator ticket books, and show that tickets were
issued to that ami unt ana for those grades.
If the Minneapo Tribune would take the
tioubie to look into this business the\ would
una that the tickets issued during the year
must correspond exactly in weights and
grades with the wheat delivered to purchaser.
It the tickets weie issued for No. 3, and
wheat shipped as~No. 2, there would be a
wonderful difference in the books, and tbe
millers would havf No. 3 to then credit*, and
get No. 2 delivered to them. This state of
affairs could not exist witho it tL-e millers be
ing cognizant of the fact, and if they were so.
they would have to be in collusion"with the
elevator company. But how is it? Aneie
vrtor agent gets a commission for handling
the wheat if he lose grade or is short on
weight, he pays for it it he overuns on
weights or grade, he gets nothing for his that way.
*Wm-- ft .V,*frT
trouble. This rule was established
bv the E evator company for the sole pur
pose of preventing dishonesty on the part
of its agents. Now here are facta and
figures in regard to the wheat business Ihe
accounts on the books at tbe elevators -how,
that of the amount received the millers have
purchased No 1,1,600 bushels, No. 2, 10,-
OOO bushels, No 3, 1,500 bushels No. 4, 70
bushels. The foregoing figures are up to
Sept. 28th, aud show conclusively that tbe
assertions of the Tribune are false. The
farmers do understand "that there are
wrongs committed," and though we have
not, hfretofore, thought the millers to blame,
we are now decidedly of the opinion that
there is a "nigger in the fence," and think
that th re is a big steal by them, on the prices
paid for low grades. If Washburn's cause
is so desperate, that he and his associates,
through their organ, must lay the blame for
alleged frauds on entirely innocent parties,
it is high time the people knew it. This
outrageous libel will not create one vote for
Washburn, but will convince the people of
the district, that the Minneapolis ring are
trying to crawl out of a very small hole.

Senator David Davis, who ran so close to
the Presidential nomination in 1872, lives
here, or rather on bis farm, which adjoins
the city. His home place is one of the most
beauaful ID tbe State and to the natural
beauties of the ground he has added 1m
provements in the shape of beautiful groves,
hue buildings, fences and hedges. His resi
dence built of stone, is almost pala lal, and
is app-oached by abroad avenue, paved wi
wooden blocks, and shaded with noble
maples. The house and grounds are lighted
with gas, brought from the city in mains
laid at his own expense. Within the hous.-.
ever thing bespeaks taste and comfort, and
the plain habits, earnest good-wiU toward all,
ot the inmates makes the place more than
attractiveit is home-like. Political friends
and enemies alike bear te-tiniony to tho ex
cellence of Judge Davis, and the regard of
these people for his wife amounts to enthus
iasm.

"But mv employers have ordered me to
have the talk, Senator, and as tho public
feel an interest in your opinions tho Enqairei
would be glad to give them bioad cucula
tarn."
don't think my opinions would be valu
able, foi I have taken no direct interest in
the canvass this year, btyond giving some
advice to one or two persons. Aud, then,
don't you think there is considerable con
fusion politics now?''
This was leversiug the thing the Senator
was interviewing me. But I thought we
would reach the same result, so I replied
that it did seem to me that there was a little
unceitainty in things political.
"Who do yon think will be the prominent
men tor the Democratic nomination next

"I an sute I can't say. There are several

On, no, not me," ho aid, laughingly
"My Piesldeutial aspuationS ended 1872,
aud beside that, I teel differently now from
what I jid ten veais a^o, and I said so to
Mr. Thurman last winter."
But don't you thmk that unless Mr Til
gives some explanation of those cipher
dispttix'hes that he will have no chance what
ever ot the nomination?"
I would think they would hurt his pros
pects," said I.
I repaid Judge Thurman a3 a great and
good man," he continued. "But don you
think it makes a Piesideutial aopirant much
strongei wilh his party if he could cany hia
State at the election preceding the conven
tion
"It seems so to me," I replied.
"But do you thmk it fair to call tbe lecent
election in Ohio the test by which Judge
Thurman is to be tued? Would it not be
tan to make a test of the election for Go
ernor next year 1"'
"Yes," I said.
"Well, I have a very high opinion of Mr.
Hendricks. I think him one of the greatest
men in the nation, though I thmk the four
gentlemen mentioned by you are all great

"1 thmk jour remark true," said I, "out
we aie disposed to divide the credit of those
victones with Senator Vooibees."
"Weil, 1 suppose tbat is tiue to some ex
tent, but does not the national reputation of
Mi Hendricks ovei shadow that of the other
kaders in Indianar"'
I suppose it does," was my answei "3 et
Mr. Vooibees has many friends in and out of
Indiana who do not think he has filled his
wholefieldjet."
"And do you thmk," qnned the judge,
"that in order to be victorious in the nation
al contest 1880, that the Democrats will
have to combine with the Nationals on a plat
form embracing Mr Tburman's views?"
I supppose so, if they want the tail to
waggle the dog as it did at your election to
the Senate, judge."
Oh, that was a great combination," said
he laughing, but the tail was larger than
the dog"
Just at this moment Lis wife announced
that all *a8 leady to start to the LillarJ
Wilhams wedding, and the judge and I
walked down the steps together, but he
could not let me off without anothei ques
tion, so he asked*
"Don't you ink that if the Democrats in
Pennsylvania hope for victory they will have
to combine with tbe Nationals'"
I hope so," I answered as I fled down
the walk, but I had walked but a few steps,
when the judge called out.
"Won't I see you in Washington this
wmtei and then I sped across the lawn,
and left him to drive in peace to tbe wed-man
dmg, happy the knowledge that he had
outwitted one newspaper man."
