Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum •ays that in politics he goes with the tide. That is what is the matter with Tyner, Brady and Dorsey. Representative Hicks evidently de •ires to be regarded as the bully of the House. He may give the lie once too ©ften if he keeps on. It looks verj iuucH us iliough St. Paul would not have a delegate at the St. Louis River Convention on the 2Gth. This is very poor enterprise. Confederate bonds liave advanced to $3.50. Some of the holders of the paper are holding it at $10. It will be back to lOcents before ever it gets up to $10. Assessment No. 1 lor the present cam paign has been made by the New York Repu ican Committee. The office-hold ers don't want to ante-up, but are afraid to refuse. Ttneii is said to have raised mon money for Republican campaign fund than any other or.c mm. FT* 1 will ye wish he had put some of it in his pocket. He will need lots of it for lawyers' fees. The Windom gang were catching their breath between smiles yesterday over the ■ narrow chance they had run. They were profuse with explanations of how it hap pened but decidedly glad that it didn't happen any closer. There was not suf ficient margin for shrinkage. It is said Mr. James wished to have George H. Spencer appointed to succeed Tyner as First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral. If this report is true there are two ways of accounting for it: first, by the supposition that Mr. James' professed de sire to reform the service is insincere; or, second, that he thinks the best way to catch a thief is to engage a thief as de tective. Othek slates besides Minnesota will TOteupon the adoption of constitutional amendments this fall. Colorado will de termine the permanent location of its cap ital; Nebraska whether or not the elec tive franchise shall be conferred on wo men ; Wisconsin for or against biennial elections and sessions of the legislature, and Maryland will change or refuse to change the time of electing judges. Chicago being the greatest American porkpacking center is much agitated over the exclusion of American pork from France. The United States consul at Havre, who has been watching the French inspectors, says only an intinitis simal part of the meat rejected is affected ■with trichaena. The exclusion of Amer ican pork makes the article very high in France, but it seems to be the policy of the French government to "protect" home- grows pork. The poor people, who form the great body of the consumers, of course have to foot the extra cost. The consul writes to the state department at Washington suggesting reprisal on the part of the United States as the only rem edy. He says, for example, that a law, rigidly enforced, forbidding the importa tion of French wines would exclude about nine-tenths of the stuff that is brought here under that label. The cabinet speculations which filter in profusion from Washington all point to a decided stalwart policy by President Arthur. It is undoubtedly correct that if Conkling does not occupy a place in the cabinet it will be because he refuses to take it. It is noticeable that the in dignation which found voice during Gar field's struggle for life, towards Conkling has greatly modified. He is now regarded as the power behind the throne, at least, if not the throne itself, and Americans are so practical that they adapt themselves to the situation without hesitation. Party newspapers and office-holders make a great deal of noise and their utterances go a great ways in shaping public senti ment. "When they thought Garfield would recover they could not too strong ly denonnce Conkling. There was some little show of leniency for Guiteau by assuming that he was a crazy tool, but for Conkling there was no mercy. Now the same men are discussing, without a hint oi animosity, the question of a Cab inet position for Conkling. The mur dered President is forgotten. The liv icg one controls the post offices. BOILXR MAKERS STRIKE. Police Called for tv Anticipation of Trouble. The boiler makers' strike at the St. Paul A Manitoba railway shops is assuming a rather ugly look. Upon a report being circulated yesterday that several of the strikers intesded to resume work, some twenty or more of those who had gone out gathered in close proximity to the shops and indulged in abusive language and threatening demonstrations. Upou theae facts being reported to police head quarters two of the force were detailed for duty at the shojs. At 6 o'clock last evening the master mechanic reported at police headquarters in person, and at his request a relief of two po licemen was sent over for the night watch, and this morning this force will be doubled, threats haviug been made, it is asserted, ugainsl any one who shall attempt" to go to work. One of the strikers', however, informs a Globe reporter that no such threats have been made, and that there is no intention of resorting to force in their efforts to carry their point for an advance in wages. Bo.nl of Fablio Works. The Board of Public Works held its regular weekly meeting yesterday afternoon, all the members being present except Mr. Qlnnby. The followiug is a summary of the business transacted: The assessment for grading Mackubin. street from Dayton avenue to Summit avenue, was completed and the cleik directed to give the confirmation notice. The matter of awarding the contract for grading East Sixth street from Broadway to Kittson street was discussed and all bids were rejected, and the City Council will be asked for an order to grade the same in connection with Pine, Olive, John, Locust, Willius, Neill, Eierhth, Ninth and East Fourth streets. The matter of awarding the contract for grading Lafayette avenue was referred to the city attorney to draw contract, and th«. presi dent of the board to execute the same. A large number of orders from the council for the opening, extending and grading of certain streets, were referred io the city en gineer for plans and estimate of cost. A still greater number of orders from city council far sidewalks, crosswalks an.) plank walks were referred to the city engineer to carry out. " The communication from D. H. Valentine and eighteen otheis, asking that Brewstt-r av enue might be opened and extended its present width through Ewing A Chute's addition to Bluff street, "vas ordered sent to the city council.

The October term of the district court foi this county ended yesterday. Considerable business was transacted. The notorious Hank Kief was convicted of stealing the Blomquist ponies and buggy and harness, and sentenced by Judge MacDonaid to five years at Stillwater. This is a very un healthy district for horse thieves. yThere is a great deal of complaint made here against the management 'jgof the Hastings A Dakota railway company for withdrawing the passenger train which has heretofore went east from G'encoe in the morning, and returning west in the afternoon. The present arrangement of only one train v day (going west in ihe forenoon and return ing in the afternoon), deprives all west ol here in the county of coming to the county seat and returning the same day, or going to Shakopee or any point east of the Minneapolis cat off at Benton except .in the afternoon. [ should think the railroad com pany would see that it was to their interest to make some arrangement by which their past •iccommodations for the traveling public in this respect, would be restored. It should be done at once. • The roads are in a fearful condition; every >orly nearly out of * ood in consequence; and tis til! cloudy ami rainey. The riv<-r is fall- Dg slowly since >estcrday.

Contrary to the expectation of its friends, consideration of the bond bill in general or ders was not completed yesterday, owing to the anxiety of some members for an early ad journment to enable them to get home. Sen ator Cistle suoke briefly, but ably, in advocacy of the measure, and in contravention of the main leg'il propositions advanced by Senator Buck, of Blue Earth, in his argument Thursday agtinst the constitutionality oi the proposed action, to which Senator Buck replied very briefly, when the debate upon an understand ing that the measure should betikeu up Mon day evening, and pushed through, its op. ponents agreeing to adopt no dilatory tactics. With this understanding an adjournment was had to Monday evening.

On motion of Senator Pillsbury, the senate resolved itself into committee of the whole, with Senator Macdunald in the chair. The bond bill was taken up, the pending motion being the iecomrnendation that the bill do pass. Senator Castle had thought to let the bill pass without sayiug a word. The proposi tions it contained were fully considered, and p<tP6ed upon last winter, and the points wph therefore well understood. But he did, however, desire to answer some of the a'guments of the senator from Blue Earth. The question had been much simplified, he said, since the action of last winter by the decision of th>: supreme cour". He had voted for the measure with the supposition that the very Action which has teen had would be taken. The court distinct ly asserts the powtr and right of the legisla ture to provide for the settlement of that debt, without the question being referred to the people. This court is the c^urt of last resort, aDd its decision is binding upon every citizen of the Sate. The senator from Bine Earth conceded that the bonds might be paid by taxation, but denied the legislative authority to issue new bonds for the settlement of the debt. This statement Senator Castle controverted. The legislature of a staf, he said, represented the people, except where there are constitu tional limitations. That was a universally accepted proposition of law. Another legal propositiou by the senator of Blue Earth was, that the legislature is inhib ued from creating ■ greater debt than $250, --O<K), and it is assumed it is proposed here to create a n.-w dt-bt. This SUBpoettioa is not sustained by the facts. It is not proposed to create a new debt, but 6imply to liquidate one long standing, by paying a certain sum agreed upon as eati-factory to the bondholders. The state could, if it 6houid elect, issue new bonds for t be full face value of the old debt. Tht itgislature possesses that power, and can if it chooses make provision for the paymentof the bonds by taxation, or any other means it might decide to be wis-e. Ihere were, the Senator said, two classes of people who oppo>ed the payment of these honds one class who were inherent!; dL-hoa est, and another class who honestly b-)iev< 'he debt was dishonestly contracted, and who had the idea co firmly planted in iheir mind. --tht-y would listen to nothing else. The senator then briefly reviewed th< issuance of the bonds, in which bf paid a high compliment to th patriotism and integrity of Gen. H. H. £10 ley, the then governor cf the state. There was, he s*id, no question of ths validity oi 'he bonds. The bondholders liad showed their faith in their validity by offering to pat up two million of the bonds, to stand ihe de cision of any judicial tribunal selected by the Mate authorities, the boLds to tw destroyed if the decision should bs against them. The senator closed with a fervent tribute to the enterprise and vigor of the i>eople of the 6tate, and the bright future in store for the state. There was one dark spot, he said, upon ita escutcheon, a spot this legislature had the power to re move by daring to do righ*. Senator D. Buck thought when the senator commenced his discus-ion he was to give us a I<-gal argument, but finding himself in deep water, he slid off into a general discussion, winding up with a kind of Fourth of July oratinj. He had spoken of the voice of the people being tha voice of God, then why not obey thai voice, a majority of 20,000 of whom had voted against any settlement of these bonds at this time. Senator Buck then took up and answered some of the legal points advanced by the senator from Washington, in which he went over a portion of the ground in his argument Thursday. He then argued that by the term the "bonds shall be considered at presently due and pay able," the legal and binding obligation of the debt, and that by the payment of fifty cents on the dollar, the legality of the whole debt Is acknowledged and the balance can be col lected. By it the state acknowledges to the charue of repudiation. At this point the committee rose. Senator Wheat moved to reconsider the vote by which the senate decided when It adjourned it be to Tueßday next Passed, yeas 20, n><ys 14 Senator Pillsbury iroved that when the senate adjourn it be to Monday evening at 8 o'clocs. Carried. Adjourned. HOUSE. The house transacted but little business yes day. The day was almost entirely consumed in discussion on the resolutions offered on Wednet-day by Judge Wilson, of Wjnona, re quiring the appointment of a joint committee of five for the purpose of investigating the terms upon which Selah Chamberlain pro cured his bonds against the stite— whether or not he was liable for the payment of the inter est on the bonds. The judiciary committee reported the resolutions recommending their indefinite postponement, but two dissentient votes being recorded, tho3e of Judge Wilson and Mr. McCracken. The report of the ma jority of the committee was opposed by Judge Wilson, and in the course of the day the whole question was debated at length by Messrs. Hicks, Smith, Comstock, Norrish, Mott aad S^uboru in favor of the payment of the bonds, and by Messrs. Wilson and McCracken against their payment, while Mr. Redding was an anxious seeker after informa tion. The report of Ihe majority of the commit tee was fitiHily adopted by a vote of fifty-five to thirty-two. This vote, is considered a test of the strength of thfi two factions in the House on this question. The bond-payers will cer tainly be recruited by five votes from mem bers who were absent yesterday, and possibly can count on several more. There seems to be uo doubt but the bill for the settlement of the bonds will pass the House by a substantial majority. As tha arguments advanced on both sides were substantially the same as those heretofore adduced, and fully reported, the Globk has not deemed it necessary to devote a great amount of space to the debate. The committee on the governor's message, throwgh Col. Hicks, the chairman, reported the Senate bill for the settlement of the rail road bonds, with a few amendments, the only material ones being that the rates of interest on the new bonds to be issued in lieu of the old is fixed at four instead of five per cent. The bill has already been published in full in the Globb. ICou tine Report. The House met at 11 o'clock a. m., Speaker Fletcher iv the chair. Prayer by the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Wright. Mr. Hoyt reported favorably the bill except ing Goodhue county from the operations of thu law of last session, relating to county commissioners, and the bill was passed under suspension of the rules. The bill authorizing the county commission ers of Hannepin county to appropriate $10,000 for the improvement of the narrows in Lake Mini etonka was passed under suspension of the rules. Also the bill fixing the salaries of the of ficials of Hennepin county. Also the bili relating to the running at large of cattle io Douglas county. Also the bill amending the charter of the village of Benson, Swift county. Also the bill relating to the running at large of cattle in Carver county. Mr. Hicks, from the special committee on the governor's message, reported what is known as the Pillsbury bill, with a few unim ortant amendments. The bill was read a first and second time and placed second on general orders. Mr. Hicks also reported in favor of Indefi nitely postponing the resolutions offered by Vlr. "Wilson on Wednesday. Mr. Wilson snbmitted a minority report recommending their adoption. Mr HicUs insisted that the motion to indef uitely postpone took the precedence. Mr. 'Vilson demanded to be heard on the question, and proceeded to read the resolu tions. He said he could prove that the bonds lid not cost Mr. Chamberlain fifty cents on the dollar, and protested from being gagged t>y the gentl«raan from Hennepin.|He thought it due to the House that the investigation re ferred to should be made. He proceeded to .speak at length in advocacy of the adoption of the resolutions. A running debate took place between Messrs. Wilson, Comstock and Norrish. Mr. Hicks rose to a personal explanation and denounced as fal6e'tbe insinuation of Mr. Wilson that he had attempted to cut off de bate. : Nr. Sanborn moved to postpone the whole matter till Tuesday at 2 o'clock. Mr. Wilsoii protested against delay, and wanted to settle the question at once, '■ :>. > Mr. Mott thought the legislature had all the information it could have on the question. The question had been discussed for the last twenty years, and he saw no necessity for the investigation. Mr. Redding wanted more light on the sub ject. He confessed that he was ignorant, and thought it was due to him if to no one else that the inquiry be made. Mr. McCracken said there had been facts enough shown to prove that ' the bonds did Dot cost the holders a fraction of their face value. He was in favor of the investigation. As an instance there was a widow in this city who had claimed that the bonds she held had cost her husband a hundred cents on the dol lar, but when pinned down had been forced to admit that they cost only fifty cents. Mr. Mott — Are you the man who planed her? (Laughter.) Mr. James Smith, Jr., said there was no ne- ' cessity for delay. The fact was patent that the obligations of the state were outsanding and dishonered, and that was enough for him He hoped the resolutions would be voted upon and thrown where they should be— in the waste b<sket. . ."' Mr. Wilson argued in favor of his resolu tions. Recess till 3 o'clock p. m. Afternoon Session. The house reconvened at 3 o'clock p. m., Speaker Fletcher in the chair. Mr. Sanborn renewed his motion to post pone the resolutions of Mr. Wilson till Tues day next, and proceeded to argue the question di once. Mr. Searles was in favor of settling the question at once. He proceeded to dissect the preamble and resolutions, objecting to the ituigujge, as committing the legislature to lie ws about which there is a grave difference uf opinion. Mr Wilson wished to have a vote taken ■:pi>n his motion to adopt the minority report, md spoke at some length in support of the resolutions. Mr. Sanborn withdrew his motion to post pone. Mr. Comstock replied to Mr. Wilson at con siderable length, when the question was taken on Mr. Hicks' motion to adopt the majority report, resulting as follows: Yeas— Amundeon, Baker, Baldwin, Baxter.

Low, under the big sign at the old post office Bush Whitman, who had two of his fingers taken off while making a coupling at the St. Paul A Duluth depot some weeks ago, was yesterday paid by the Western Accident asso ciation $90. Seymour, Sabin A Co. came out yesterday with one of their own make of truck wagons. It is a very heavy spring wagon and intended for heavy work. It is finely painted and is numbered seven and looks like business. A team belonging to Tony Hanson took fright yesterday afternoon on Third street ana ran down Myrtle street, where it collided with another team. The wagon was sadly demoralized, but the horse came out unhurt. John Walker was brought up before his honor yesterday morning, and paid $7.50 for peddling jewelry without a license. This and one plain drunk who went down into the cooler for ten days filled the mornings quote. Miss Dellie Webster, youngest daughter of Mr. Mart Webster, of this city, died yester day morning after a sickness of about five weeks. Her condition was such as reported to the family by the physician that they did sot think it necessary to inform her father and brother who were at Fargo. Bhe wa6 taken worse Thursday evening and died early yesterday morning. A team belonging to a farmer, while stand ing In the open lot near W. D. McKusick'= stable, took fright at the engine that was switching and ran. In attempting to pass up Commercial street they struck the pole of the wagon against the telephone post, which broke the pole and let the horses pass on each side. Fortunately the horse was not hurt and no damage was done save the breaking of the wagon pole. FARTBAULT. Faribault, Oct. 21.— The Faribault Sugar refinery has turned out between six and seven thousand gallons of sirup this fall. Most of this is now in the pro cess of sugar making. Your corresponden t was in one room where there are 5,000 gallons undergoing crystalization at pres ent, from which they expect to get about 30,000 pounds of sugar. This new man ufacturing enterprise is bound to succeed under the skillful and persistent direction of Doctor Wilhelm. Farmers in reach of the refinery have received, this year, $3 per ton for their cane, and seem great ly encouraged to continue its cultivation. There are a good many cases of typhoid fever in and about Faribault at present It is also of a virulent type and taxes the skill of our physicians to its utmost to keep it under control. Of those afflicted Mr. Sward figer and Lawrence Wells are, perhaps, in as critical a condition as any. .1 Series of nilsrrpreßentntinn^ Corrected. St. Louis, Oct. 21.— Several days ago, Capt. James B. Ends addressed a communica tion to the merchants exchange, drawing at tention to the fact that several foreign news papers recently published statements to the effect that the jetty system at the mouth of ihe Mississippi river is not a success, and asking the exchange to appoint a committee composed of four leading memheis of the ex change who have made a report. They ex uress the opinion that the accounts in foreign papers were based upon misrepresentatiou made by the Cincinnati Commercial and Mem phis Avalanche, and quote from official re ports of government officers and other relia ble authorities, to show that the required depth of water has been obtained, and is main tained; that the largest ocean-going vessel? pass in and ont without detention: that the govenment has regularly paid Capt. Eads for iwo years past the quarter diem installment* due for the maintenance cf this channel and report the following resolution! which havt been adopted as the expression of the exchange: Resolved, That statement published by the Cincinnati Commercial and Memphis Aval anche to the eff ct that the channel through the Jettiers at the mouth of the Miisoun river has been deficient and that the work is a fail ure, are wholly unfounded; in fact, tfiat the investigation of the facta has shown a channel of 200 feet in width and twenty-six feet in depth. Required by law to be and to have been fully maintained, that said channel is « permanent one and is broad and deep enough to accommodate the largest class of mer chant vessels. Resolved, That we emphatically condemn the publication of the articles referred to, and pronounce them injurious to the interests of the commerce of the Mississippi valley. SIGNIFICANT.
