EDMUND B. HOLLINBHEAD, .
Chairman Democratic City Committee.
St. Paul, April 10. 1882. . .■ , - .
Judging from the tone of the Repub
lican press of Ohio, the leaders of the
Republican party in that State are serv
ing notice on the "Irish and Dutch" that
the Republican party can get on in the
future without their assistance. - Such a
notice seems to be rather gratuitous at
this late day.
The call for the Democratic city con
vention appears elsewhere, the primaries
to be Friday evening «£ this week and
the convention Saturday. This is the
same relative date as that of last year,
and as the notice is ample
the call will undoubtedly give
general satisfaction. The Globe
cannot too earnestly urge the importance
of watching the primaries. Neglect at
that time may foist bad nominees upon
the party. It will be the duty of every
patriotic citizen, however, to join in de
feating such nominations at the polls,
and "bummers" may as well understand
that if they happen to capture a primary
meeting they will be defoated on election
day.
If the Bt. Louis Republican reflects the
attitude of Gov. Crittenden towards the
Jesse James gang of outlaws in Missouri,
it is not unlikely that Ford and the local
authorities of Jackson and Clay counties,
backed by the executive power, will wel
come demonstrations of sympathy from
the surviving friends of the dead out
law, with the view of bringing them
to justice before the tribunals they
have so long amd successfully defied.
It is mere likely that the living members
of the James gang of outlaws will be
seeking executive clomoncy within sixty
days, than that they will be planning to
avenge the death of their dead leader.
There is a rude and stern sense of justice
underlying the policy of Gov. Crittenden,
to which these outlaws will doubtless
promptly yield a respectful and discreet
rvcofmition.
RACE PREJUDICES.
The recent speech o/ Senator Jones, of
Nevada, against the further immigration
of the Chinese into this country, has the
merit of standing alone as the only hon
est and satisfactory statement of the at
titude of the Republican party on this
question, that has been made in or out of
the halls of congress. Unlike the major
ity of his political associates he has not
attempted, like the cuttle-fish, to color the
poltical waters with senseless verbiage
about treaty provisions that admit of
but one possible construction in order to
avoid pursuit by his political opponents.
Brushing aside all such rubbish, he has
addressed himself to the real and only
issue involved in this controversy, so far
as a Republican administration is con
cerned, to- wit:
(1.) Would not the passage of the anti-
Chineae bill by a Republican congress be
a virtual abandonment of the cardinal
principles advocated by that party from
the year of its organization in 185* down
to the present time?
(2.) Would not the passage of the
bill be a declaration on the part of this
government, that these people con.
stitute the exception to the Democratic
rule which under the expatriation,
naturalization and immigration statutes
of the country, offers an asylum on our
shores t© the oppressed of all the nations
of the earth?
(3). Are^not the principles involved in
the bill in direct conflict with the declare,
tion of our forefathers and the continental
congress, that "all men are created free
and equal,"
There can be but one answer to this
question— yes; and in that answer the
Senator finds the only solution of the is
sues involved in this controversy. He
understands that it is not so much an ex
position of the provisions of the treaty of
1868 with China that is wanted, in order
to understand the merits of the bill, as
an exposition of the grounds on which
the enforcement of its provisions by a
Republican administration are to be
justified. He docs not olaim that the
principles of the bill are consistent with
the past record of the Republican party,
but that they are consistent with the in
trests and honor of the country. He
"points to the record of the Republican
party," but not with "pride." He de
clares this to be a white man's govern
ment, and that it is the duty of con
gress to exclude the Chinese
from our shores as an
inferior and non-assimilating race. That
the past policy of the Republican party
in seeking to build up the state govern
ments of the South on the basis of the
negro element, had proven a disastrous
failure. He had honestly advocated the
reconstruction policy, but could now see
that in doing so he had antagonized the
civilization and best interests of the
country.
The premises laid down by the Senator
are certainly not false, but his reasoning
is at variance with the truths of history.
The reconstruction policy, considered
from a political stand-point , was certainly
a failure. But the cause of the failure
will not serve to illustrate the Senator's
political thesis. The Mongolian can not
be proscribed on the record the
negro has made; for that record
stands without a parallel in the annals of
history for devotion to law aud order. He
has been tho unconscious tool and politi
cal dupe of the master race; but the elas
tic character of his nature was no less
conspicuous under Republican than un
der Democratic rule.
It is unfortunate for both the Senator
and his party that the discovery of the
negroes incapacity for self- gov
ernment has .been brought about
through the concatenation of political
events rather more inimical to the inter
ests of the Republican party than to the
interests of the government. It is just
possible that this warfare on the Mongo
lian is being conducted more in the in
terest of the presidential campaign of
1884, than in the interese of the public.
Whatever may be the result of the agita
tion, the candor of the Senator in deal
ing with the question has done much to
expose the animus of the Republican
statesmen who have been more conspicu
ous in this connection for their political
zeal than for their fidelity to the public
interest. There is nothing in the past
history of the Federal and State legisla
tion of the country touching the rights of
the slave-chattel more proscriptive in its
scope and character than this measure.
The rights denied the Mongolian under
the provisions of this bill have been for
generations — and are to-day— open to
even the African who lands on our
shores speaking the unintelligible gib
berish of Guinea.
We have not felt called on to refer so
much to the merits of the proposition to
temporarily check the immigration of
this people into the country, as to expose
the hypocrisy of a class of demagogues
essaying to traffic in human rights in
futherance of their political fortunes.
If the Mongolican is an equal —
a man and a brother— then
this proposed proscription is an outrage.
But en the other hand if he is not an
equal, but of an inferior race, then the
better way for Republican statesmen
would be to either vote against the bill,
or else, like Mahone and Jones, readjust
their platform to meet the exigencies of
the situation, confess the blunders of the
past and go ahead. Honesty will be
found to be the best policy in the long
run.
THE STATE FAIR.
It will be seen by the announcement of
our Rochester correspondent that the
State Fair has been definitely located for
another year at Rochester, in Olmsted
county. The people of Rochester have
displayed an enterprise which en
titles them to the benefits of this exhibi
tion, and if the State organization would
resolve upon its location at that point
for a term of at least five years, it vould
be advantageous to both the Society and
the people. Improvements and build
ings can be secured for a term
of years that will not be
forthcoming on the haphazard of a single
exhibit. The people of Southern Minne
sota have made the fair a success for two
years in spite of untoward weather, aud
they deserve an opportunity lo make up
for the drawbacks they have encountered.
The Globe is glad to learn that the
prospects .for the coming exhibit are so
promising. The display of stock by the
farmers of the State demonstrates that
they arc diversifying their industries,
and are thus making themselves
independent of the rings and combina
tions ■which have so long and so
often taken the farmer by the throat in
highwayman style. Release '_ from this
thraldom is of vital importance to
prosperity, and the State TFair stimulant
is a good incentive. The present outlook
indicates the display of the strongest evi
dence the State has ever produced of
its advancement • y and - ' diversified
interests. There should be a pride on
the part of every citizen of the State in
joining with the officers of the Associa
tion to make the exhibit of 1882 surpass
not only any of its predecessors, but any
half dozen years combined.

Rochester, April 9— The proposition of
fered by the Southern Minnesota Fair associa
tion to the State Agricultural society has been
accepted by the latter, and the next State Fair
will be held at Rochester, Aug. 31 to Sept. 8,
inclusive, and the prospect is, that the com
ing exhibition will be the largest and best ever
held by the society. As it is In the circuit of
fairs commencing at Rochester and ending at
St.Louis the exhibit from other states that will
go throngh the circuit will be unusually large
and fine. - Coupled with the fact that the offi
cers of the society, despite the rains, paid
every dollar of the premiums. ,:,:;"._. ; : ;
Every exhibitor of last year will be on hand
this, besides a host of new ones. The grounds
of the new society will be fitted up In the
best possible shape..- Buildings erected on the
most approved plan regardless of expense. 7 '
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad will
run a track to the grounds to ■ carry passen
gers and freight and a number iof other pro
jects which will be mentioned hereafter.
And Southern . Minnesota , will ' rally to the
next state fair as never before and compete in
friendly rivaliy with other states' for" the
awards of the society. '~~:: !... ;j,;:u; j
The officers of the Southern | Minnesota fair
association, assisted by the hearty; co opera
tion of every citizen of Rochester and vicinity
will put forth every effort to aid and assist the
officers of the state '■; society ' in - making the
next^tate fair, the fair of the season.
2 .-..'Til The Question Settled. VC T ' .-*
-" There's no ■ use in arguing the quWstion of
the potency of some: substances for especial
service in emergencies. They will do all they
promise, and more, if judiciously aged. The
following, from Mr. P. Murphy, of No. I Fire
Station, Ottawa, Canada, bears opon the point
stated above. Mr. Murphy says: :I had occa
sion to use St. Jacobs Oil recently,' and mast
say that it is the best -Liniment I ever saw
used. I caught cold from getting wet at afire,
and it settled in my shoulder and down my
back to mv hip. I suffered a great deal from
the pain. 1 was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil.
I did so, and after the fourth application I was
entirely free from pain. I cannot speak too
highly of it, and advise others to use it

The board of trade again rises in their pon
derous might. Its indignation now rests up
on the defenceless head of the justice who rc
rcfosed to grant certain lands to the uee6~and
; eboof of tte Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway company, and to which the board of
trade wishes given as a testimonial of its ap
preciation of the erectiou of the car shops of
that company in this city. At its meeting on
Saturday afternoon the following resolntion
wa* adopted:
Rcsolctd, That a committee of five be ap
pointed whose duty it shall be to confer with
the attorney and managers of the Milwaukee
road as to what they wish to have done in the
matter of street vacating in the grounds pur
chased for their shops, and with the members
to the vacation of the streets required.
Isaac Atwater, Wm. S, King, F. W. Brooks,
Anthony Kelly and Robert Hale were appoin
ted as members of the committee, and they
will bring the -matter to the immediate atten
tion of tne city council, who have power to
vacate the streets, in which case it is supposed
that work on the shops will at once be re
sumed.
Perhaps the offer extended to the railroad
company, a wealthy and prosperous corpora
tion, by the city was a little premature and
over-liberal, bnt now that the pledges have
been made and the company accepted and in
good faith began work npon the 6hops, the
only thing left for the council to do is to
vacate the streets and turn them over.
This morning Dr. V. Tell will start for his
new town which is being platted and laid out
some twenty live miles beyond Aberdeen, Da

has not yet been christened. The town will
not admit the sale of intoxicants, and the
doctor has a list of !.CCO names of men who
are pledged to come on to the town as soon as
It is in readiness. The matter of establishing
the proposed territorial college at that point
has already been fixed, and the outlook for a
fine flourishing little city within the next year
seems bright.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Anjnsane Husband Kills Hla Wife and
Himself Because of Jealousy of Hlfl
Children.
Cleveland, 0., April 9.— Thomas Fish
burn, who killed his wife and then himself,
Friday night at their home, was confined in
the insane asylum some years ago for six
months. He had made numerous threats of
suicide and several attempts. Friends warned
his wife that he might kill her, but he seemed
so devoted she never was afraid he would
harm her. The only motive he is supposed
to have to murder her was his strange jeal
ousy of their children, because he thought
she loved them more than him. Without warn
ing he brained her with a piece of stove
wood while she was paeparing supper.
Their children, one boy of 12, two daughters
2-years and'a half and five months respectively
were playing in an adjoining room. Having
completed his murderous work he wandered
away from the house and next day was found
half a mile distant haying bled to death from
wounds in both wrists and neck inflicted
with a dull pocket knife. He owned a farm
of 75 acres, had no pressing debtn, and was
not known to use liquor or tobacco.
Mew Rales Goverlog the Sale of Lands by
the Canada Pacific. -
'■ Ottawa, April 7. — The Canada Pacific
Railway Company have issued a new set
of resolutions which will for the present
govern all their sales of land: In order
to prevent speculative purposes ■of their
land they have raised the nominal price
to $5 an acre, one-fourth of the purchase
money to be paid at the time of sale, and
the balance in five years, with interest.
The rebate for land brought under culti
vation is very. large, , being three-fourths
of the original $5 per acre. Failure to
fulfil the conditions as to the time and
amount of the payments made by the set
tler entail; as before, absolute farfeiture,
and it is now added that the option re
reserved to the company of resuming the
forfeited lands is not to interfere with or
to supersede the ordinary legal or equita
ble remedies they may bav"e for the re
covery of the purchase money with inter
est. Unwilling to deal with the trouble
some question of squatters' claims, the
syndicate by the new regulations give
the purchaser of their land the option of
either rejecting any one who may have
squatted on it, or of giving up the land.
Imposing Funeral Demonstration.

THE
Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance
Company,
OF HARTFORD, CONN.,
recognizing the possible continuance and
future effect of the causes producing the
recent great changes in the rate of inter
est on the best securities; and the neces
sity of basing all life insurance calcula
tions upon a rate certain to be earned
during the possible continuance of poli
cies hereafter to be written, a period of
more than two generations, because of
the impossibility of changing their basis
in the future as to business then existing
should the assumed rate of interest fail to
be realized; and that in a business de
pendent on future contingencies nothing
is certainly safe that is not certainly more
than apparently safe; in order to pro
vide absolute safety in the basis of its
business and to have the largest liberty
in the future selection of investments,
will compute Vie net premiums and reserves
upon future policies on the assumption of
earning 3 per cent, interest on the best long
investments, instead of 4 per cent., which'
is now and will remain the basis of busi
ness now existing.
As a further basis it assumes the rate
of mortality s hown by the American Ex
perience Table, the entire safety of which,
as an assumption for the future, has
been fully proved.
Its contracts will thus be more secure
ly based than any now written; and so
long as the actual rate of interest remains
above the assumed rate, the larger re
serves invested will give the larger re
turns of surplus interest.
The new premiums charged for poli
cies, while providing a larger reserve for
future safety, will give the advantage of
the company's unrivalled economy in
management; being on annual premium
life policies on the average something
less than* those heretofore charged.
Its new policies will contain some most
important
NEW FEATURES.
While most men never get beyond the
need for insurance, nearly all look for
ward to a time when others will be no
longer dependent upon them and when
they may wish to have all the remaining
surplus from past labors available for
personal use. Hence they take endow
ment policies for such periods as they
think will cover the need of insurance,
and payable to themselves afterwards; to
which there are two essential objections:
Ist. That in point of fact they usually
need the insurance after the term of the
policy has expired, but have then become
uninsurable, or can only get new insur
ance at a much higher premium because
of advanced age; 2d. That the premiums
for endowments arc so much higher than
for life policies that men cannot usually
afford by this means to carry as much in
surance as their families need.
In order to give a method by which
one can carry the largest possible amount
to protect his family just as long as they
may need it and yet make the payments,
less the cost of insurance had, available
at once should the need of insurance
cease, we offer the following:
The Whole Life Policy at the ordinary
annual premium, or with a limited num
ber of premiums; all surplus credited
upon the policy may be left with the com
pany to accumulate at such rate of inter
est as may be determined by the Direc
tors, to be paid with the policy, at its
maturity, to the person entitled thereto.
At the end of each period of 10, 15
20, 25, 30, 35, etc., years from the
issue of such policy, the parties in inter
est . may surrender the same for a cash
value as therein agreed, together with
the I amount of the surplus previously
credited and so accumulated. .
Or paid-up insurance may then be
taken for such amount as the cash value
and surplus previously credited /will buy
as a single premium. ; - ; ; ;
>' Should the policy lapse at any inter
vening year .of .7 the ; above periods, and
after three premiums j | have I been - paid,
paid-up insurance will be given on sur
render iof the policy j according to ifs
terms, for such amount as the reserve
and surplus previously credited, less a
small ; surrender charge, will buy as a
single premium. -
Each policy will hate attached a table of
cash values growing out lof the reserve, and
the accumulation of surplus will be stated each
year. -^-.' '.-.' " ■■-_■.••
: The accumulated surplus may be used
in case of necessity to pay current pre
miums. — .-,'... •-'•'■'■ '....': . / .
This gives the greatest amount of in
surance the premiums can buy while in
surance is needed, and also gives their
entire effect as an endowment if insur
ance becomes unnecessary. The longer
the policy runs the greater its value, both
as an insurance and an endowment, and
the higher reserve required by the assump
tion of 3 per cent, interest makes the policy
just so much the more valuable as an endw.
m-ent.
We believe it, as we intend it to be,
the safest, most valuable, and most liber
al contract ever written.

Governments- Strong.
Bonds — Railroad bonds irregular.
State Securities— Dull.
Stocks — Fluctuuted considerably during the
morning bat in the afternoon there was great
depression, especialiy in the closing dealings,
whenii sharp decline was made against the
share list generally. Lake Shore dropped to
106%, Western Union Telegraph to 83.^,
Michigan Central to 80#, Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western to 120>£, Texas Pacific to
40%, Union Pacific toll2>£, Philadelphia*
Reading to 58, New York Central to 128>£,
Northern Pacific to 3S and preferred to 77^.
These prices are the lowest of tbe week. In
the final sales there was a fractional reaction,
but the market closed feverish with prices %
to Z% per cent, lower than Thursday's closiDg,
the latter for Philadelphia A Reading. No in
telligent explanation of this afternoon's de
cline was vouched, but many believe the
movement was short and a drive one to buy
stocks and increase the short interest.
