She offers the latter $1000, spot cash, to release all her claims to the prop erty. Number two sets a high value on the assets of the house, which consists chiefly of the '"major." Me. Evaets' oration at the Newburg centennial yesterday is more than wot thy the fame of this great American orator. It is fit to be regarded as the best effort of his life; and its inspiring eulogy of the heroic ■virtues of Washington comes aptly at a time when the nation most needs a revival •of the honesty, reverence, patriotism and manliness, which are illustrated in the life and character of the first and greatest of American Presidents. • Lor.D Chief Justice Coleeidge during his visit to the United States ha 3 said many pleasant things about the people be ha 9 seen and tue places where has so journed. In a conversation with a group of New York millionaires the Chief Justice is reported to have said: "It is not your colossal fortunes that interest ed me. I can see great estates and sufficiently enormous fortunes at home. I should b3 dis posed to give a wide berth to these things, be cause millions of dollars confuse m> mind and are irrevelant to my tastes. But what I do re joico to see, what has filled me with delight, what I have longed to see, but never will ccc in England, is the condition of your upper and lower middle classed and the homes of your people." A more discriminating tribute to Ameri can institutions could scarcely have been uttered. The glory of the Republic is the advantages it affords to the common peo ple. The most contemptible political Bop that has ever been held out during the history of poli tics is tha nomination of Biermann for governor of Minnesota. His chief and only qualification is in tho fact that he is an almost iguorant Nor wegian and by his nomination the Democrats 03 --pecr. fo catch tho Norwegian vote. — Bismarck Tribune, Too much capital enthusiasm has made the editor of tho Tribune mad. Mr, Bitr raann was not uoiainnted because 1:9 wa? a Norwegian, bat because he wa3 a compe tent and educated gentleman. Ho had proved hi 3 availibility by his splendid canva33 in the First District last year for congress, and that gave him a prominence which led to his nomination for governor. It was the same principle which every where pertains in politics of selecting suc cessful men for the purpose of socaring additional sneces?. Tha personal sneer at Mr. Biermann is simply a lie. He is an educated gentleman, and while he can meet his countrymen with their native tongue an American might converse with him for hours and never discover by his talk that he was not a native American. This chows his complete mastery of the language, which of itself refutes the charge of ignorance. When he takes the Gubernatorial chair next Janu ary he will be found to be the peer of any previous occupant of that position, and he will discharge the duties with fidelity to the interests of the public. The Norwegians are simply invited to join with all nationalities in honoring one of their countrymen, and they propose to do it. An Ohio man, or more technically speak ing, a brevet Ohio man, as the gentleman was born in Indiana, came to the front for the vacant Surgeon Generalship of the army. This gentleman is Dr. John S. Bil ling 6, who was appointed from Ohio in 18G2 as assistant surgeon. He became captain in 18GG and in 1876 major and sur geon. In 18G5 he was breveted lieutenant colonel for services during the war. He was a representative of the United States at the Vienna Medical Congress. He has been for several years engaged in collecting and arranging the medical li brary connected with the Surgeon Gener al's office, which is the largest and finest in the world. Dr. Billings is forty-five years of age. An objection is raised to him that he is too young and likely to live too long to give sombody else a chance in the position, as there are fifty surgeons who rank as Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, and Majors who are bis se niors. The theory of this objection is that the position should go to some venerable person who will pres ently shuffle on* ana leave a vacancy for the next superanuated pump in the line. On the other hand the appointment of Dr. Billings is urged upon the grounds of his Mj gr * a t competency and the need of a comparatively young, energetic man posessed of executive force to infuse new life and activity into the service. The President inclines to Billings, but red-tape may oblige him to take up a less deserving man. The appli cants most pressed are Chief Medical Pur veyor Bax'er, who had a furious quairel with Dr. Bliss and was excluded from President GarfieltTs dying bedside, and Surgeon John Campbell, who is ranked as lieutenant colonel. The choice must soon be made, when it will be seen if the Presi dent has the nerve to appoint the man the medical department of the army most needs, or whether he will chose the ea3y course and fall back en precedents and some man who ought to have been on the retired list twenty years ago. A RELIABLE DEMOCRATIC STATE, The total vote in Ohio on the second Tuesday of October was, in round num bers 750,000, and the Democratic major ity was more than 12,000. In 1882 the total vote was 632,000, and the Democratic majority was 19,000. The vote this year exceeds the vote of last year considerably more than one hundred thousand, icd it is 25,000 larger than the total vote when Gar field ran for President, the total vote of 1880 being 724,000. A Democratic majority of 12,000 on the vote cast this year shows that there is no . stay-at-ho vote for the Republicans to fall back on next year. The full vote was out. The Democratic majority shows fiat the people preferred the Democratic party, and came into its ranks to stay. Between this year and last year the Demo cratic majority was reduced, whilejthe to tal vote was immensely increased. Had the total vote been less this year than last year it would have furnished some ground to predicate the Republican claim that they can regain the state another year. As the case stands the Democrats are sure to cany the state in 1884 and they will gain in the congressional delegation as well. These facts are too palpable to ad mit of argument. THE POLITICAL CEXSVS. The political census up to date has fea tures of important interest. Twenty-six of the thirty-eight states in the Union chose Democratic Governors at their last elections. Eleven states elected Republican Gover nors, and one etate has for its Executive a nondescript classified as Readjustee Twenty-two of the thirty-eight states have a majority of Democrats in their delegations of representatives in congress. The Republicans control fourteen state delegations, one is equally divided between the Democrats and Republicans, and Billy Mahone is the monarch of the thirty eighth of the series. Two years ago tho Republicans were the possessors of twenty of the thirty-eight state administrations, and controlled twenty of the thirty-e'ght congressional delegations. Tlii3 change has all come about since the Republican party bought the Presiden cy with money, and stolen money, in part, at that. There ha 3 been no Btep backward since the "tidal wave" began, and there will be none until the national power of the Re pnblioan party is extinguished as its dom inance in the ttates has passed away from it. Minnesota has an opportunity to put it self in the roll of triumphal states and join the hosts who are standing for good government, and honest men. The North Star state should send such good tid iDgs to the country. Grander victory is not possible than to throw off the galling bonds of Republican misrule. A FAILURE AH 1> MOT A FAILURE. Gov. Murray, of Utah, pronounces the Edmonds anti-mormon act a total failure. TnU is a little too sweeping. The law is not a failure when the motive that secured its passage is made the standpoint of ob servation. That motive was to temporize with the publio sentiment which demanded action upon the pait of the Republican congress to suppress and eradicate polygamy. The Republican statesmen had been talking bravely about what should be done with tho Mormons. Their conventions passed resolutions against Mormonism. 'heir candidates declaimed against Mor- monism. Their Presidents declared for a hostile policy towards Mormonism. The Edrnundb bill was passed as a maKe-shift. A solemn and pompous commission was cresutd and salaried at §5,000 a year per man, and scut out to Utah. The Mormon church with its creed enjoining polygamy and tithing, has grown numerically and iv power during the life of the Edmunds law, and is now better equipped to be arrogant and defiant ihun ever before. The Ed mund's law has been successful in bring ing aoout these things, so it cannot be called a failure. On the other hand, if Governor Murray means to be under stood, and doubtless he does, that the Ed mund's law is a total failure in meeting the proper and just expectation of the country he is quite right. The Edmund's law was a cowardly subterfuge, to get rid of a grave duty, for the time being. That was the sole object for which it was passed. TILLWAI'Ett GLOBULES. The sidewalk on a portion of Third street is sadly out of repair. Tho race set for Wednesday has been put over until Saturday afternoon, provided the weather is fair and the track in proper condition. James McGovern and Charles Chambers, con victed of counterfeiting, and sentenced each to five years' imprisonment, were received at the penitentiary yesterday. Mr. Gilman's mysterious letter in the Sun of Wednesday was simply adding f uol to the fire. Suroiy nothing has been gained by bringing a matter before tho public that 6hould have left just, where it was on Sunday morning. Reese Densman, a comparative stranger in this city, had his wallet containing $25 stolen from his pocket while on his way to the depot yesterday morning, near the place of his dssu nation. Densman was accosted by an unknown person who requested the loan of a dime. With this request the old man unsuspectingly comp ied, afterwards replacing his waUet in the outside pocket of his overcoat, from which it was abstracted at some point be tween the corner of Nelson's alley and the dein, . The theft was reported to the police, but the thief undoubtedly loft the city in a very short time after committing the crime. The loss of the money falls particularly hard on Densman. he having bod both legs taken off in a railroad accident which happened a few years ago. 3fass Meeting of the Land League. Arrangements are in progress for a grand mass meeting of the Still water branch of the Land league and of all v?tl9 (re friendly to the cause. Monday evening next has been desig nated as the time.

St. Locis, Oct. 18. —The committee appoint ed by a mass meeting at the Merchants eichacge last Saturday, called to protest against the Te ceat action of the board of police commission ers, waited on Gov. Crittenden this afternoon and presented him -with a document which not only embraced the resolutions adopted by that meeting, but contained a most scathing arraign ment of the police board and demanded that he request the resignation •f Messrs. Lutz, Carneth and Cleveland, the members by whose vote Col. Campbell was de posed tis chief of police. Gov. Crittendea took tho matter under advisement and it is believed he will, after testifying bßfore tho crand jury and refurnirg to hiß home in Jefferson City make a public statement in reply to all that has been said and done here tha past ten days relat ing to police and other matters with woicU his name has been connected. Chief Justice Coleridge. Washington, Ost. 18.—Chief Justice Cole ridge arrived^ this evening and was met at the depot by Attorney General Brewster and a com mittee of the bar association.

I Special Telegram to the Globe. 1 :, , Speingfield, Mass, Oct. —Last night Perry Sanford, aged ninety-three, whose home is in Cedar Rapids, la., was ap proached by a well-dressed stranger, and appearing to be a gentleman. He asked a good many questions about [people Mr. Sanford knew. Then the two separated, and another man, younger than the first, accosted Mr. Sanford, saying his name was Hotchkiss, and that he had just come from the west. Mr. Sanford is a man of wealth and experience in - business matters, but fell into the trap. The two men began a conversation about some kind of specula tion which they . had been interested in, and told Mr. Sanford that they were making a good deal of money, and if he wished to join them ho could do so, by putting Eay $1,000 in their hands, which they agreed to double for him be fore 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The old man fell into tho trap, and with very little argument was persuaded to draw $1,000 from the Springfield institute for saving. The young men promised Sanford that $2,ooo should be given him at 3 o'clock. They then separated, but 3 o'clock crime and no money. No arrests ', have ■ been made. j **>■**»' A MTJBDEBEB CAPTUBED. I Special Telegram to the Globe Chicago, Oct. 18.— Some months ago a party of New Orleans bloods heated with wine became involved in a quarrel over a game of cards, and the fracas ended in one of them shooting and killing one of his companions. The killer turned and fled. The murderer was traced through several cities into an obscure country village in Canada, where he was|shadowed till extra dition papers could be forwarded. But he learned from a friend he had been run down, bo he skipped to Chicago between two rUyp. An avenging Nemesis pursued him here, howuvt>r, and yesterday he was arrested on a telegram from the Dominion authorities and lodged in the Harrison street station. The young fellow gave the name of John Edwards, and denies his guilt. A BE2AB OF TRAGEDIES, [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Denvek, Col., Oct. 18.—This has been a singularly bloody day at Denver. There were three tragical events, one tit them fa tal. Joce3 M. Truman, a small grocer at 448 Holloday street, was found dead in a back room at dark with a bullet through his head, and a pistol in his hand. Ten years ago Troman was a respectable citi zen of Indianapolis. His wife became an invalid, when he took up with a sing ing variety woman, who recently played in a low dive theatre. Two weeks after the arrival of the couple the deserted wife followed Ine guilty couple hither, and commenced living again with her husband at the place of the suicide. On account of his constant dissipation she went insane two days ago. The husband becoming conscious of this fact, put an end to his dissolute life. To night Maggie James shot her hus band in the back with a pistol, causing a painful, but not dangerous wound. Cause, jealousy. On Larimer street to-night an alterca tion occurred between Ed. Mclntosh, a crook, in the city, and a visitor named Charles Mathews from the mining district, when Mclntosh flourished a big knife, plunged the blade through Mathews' back bone and also cutting him on the temple. The wounds are of a dangerous nature. A DYNAMITE SENSATION. Halifax, Oot. 19.—There was consider able excitement in this city last evening over the arrest of two men with a large quantity of dynamite in their possession. In May last information was received from Ottawa that an attempt would pro bably he made by Fenians to destroy the publio property. Precautions were taken by the appointment of extra police and other means. Nothing occurred, and the matter was laughed over. About a month ago Lieut. Gov. Ritchie got a warning from Ottawa of the departure from New \'ork for Halifax of suspicious char acters supposed to be connected with the dynamite branch of the Fenian brother hood. Again nothing happened. Two men. giving the names of IVm. Bracken and Frank Holmes, arrived last Friday ana put up at the Parker house. It is believed that they came from the States. They gave no names to the hotel people, and paid a week's board in advance. De tective Powers watched them, and search ed their rooms in their absence and dis covered dynamite which was secured. He then arrested the men. Both the prisonors deny the charge against them, and claim protection of the American flag. They are evidently Iri9h Americans, tut denied knowing each other. Both are joung men. Holmes was asked what packages were in the valise and re plied he did not know; they did not belong to him. One of the valises contained one hundred pounds of dynamite of a power ful nature. The dynamite was found in the trunk End valise of Brackett. In each of the valises was a small clock. A watch' maker says connected with them was ma chinery to cause an explosion. One of the weapons found on Holmes, on being dis charged at one end. of a. wire, will ignite s f'se at the other end and tbufi explode the dynamite with which it may be connected. The CQS3 of Jamas Holmos and Wil'^m Brackett, arrested for having dangero^ 3 ejpio. gives in their possession, continues to excite much interest. The mayor tommunicated t<» day with Vi v e-Admi.itUGCmmerell, General Lord Alexander Russell, and the lieutenant governor, who all expressed satisfaction with the steps taken by the officers of the law. There does not appear to be any tangible defense the prisoners can set up. Tho story of their being miners intending to go prospecting for gold is not believed by anybody. Daring tkeir previous stay in Halifax they worked some days drain digging, bat not enough to support themselves. Tho customs authorities have taken pos'ession of the dynamite, and say if other thirgs fail to bring the men to justice they can bo prosecuted for infringement of the customs laws. The dynamite winch Holmes & Brackett say they obtained iv New York for mining purposes is of the most dangerous character, contaiuing sbout seventy-fire per cent nitro glycerine. The prisoners are at tha coun ty jail and have not secured connEcl. STONE AND PISTOL. Owenton, Ky., Oot. 18.—A fatal alteroa tiou occurred seven miles from here to day. John M.

Toledo, Oct. 18.—Richard Day, a notori ous crook was shot and mortally wounded here this afternoon in company with a gang of thieves and burglars while rtsist ing arrest.

Shaw &llros., Baslou, "Who seeni to Have Sold Their Credit us well as Their Leath er. Sneaking of tho dealings in notes the report says: Tho notes received by F. Shaw & Bros, on account of leather were treated as receivables and early credited to the respective promisors. Another class of notes receivable, were notes received from parlies to whom they advanced money and took notes from them, practi cally discounting the paper. E<tch of these separate classes appear on the books but there was another class of liability which only appears as memoranda and that is where the firm endorsed tho notes of other parties for sole benefit of the parties who raised money by sale of the endorsed notes, the proceeds of which were used by the prouaisers and did not pass through F. Shaw & Bro.'s hand 3. The committee finds that F. Shaw & Bros.,have been endorsers upon notes where there •was no understanding between them and the promisers that they should so endorse, the sole apparent consideration being one haii the brokerage.

Civil Kights. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Cleveland, Oct. IS. — Governor Charles Foster was asked to-night what he thought of the decision of the supreme court on the civil rights law. He said: "I shall rec ommend in my message the adoption of a state law which will give to the colored people all the rights and immunities guar anteed them under the civil rights law. I cannot reconcile myself fully to tho deci sion. It might be well to submit a new amendment." General Edward F. Noyes expressed him self as follows: "Every American citizen, whether white or black, should be granted the fall enjoyment of his civil' rights. If the states will not pass'such laws another amendment should be submitted." General Fletcher, of Missouri, thought the bill should have been incorporated in the constitution. He does not think any serious consequences will result from the decision. Kicking: Against Constitutional 1,-.i\v.

A Minneapolis ILaiitl Agent. Milwaukee Sentinel While riding out across tho unfencod prai ries three mill .-• beyond the city I came across two men. One had his pocket full of signs and the other carried an ax and bundle of stakes. After pacing around for a time in the tall grass, the man with the. hatchet drove a stake and the other man pulled forth and tacked to it: "This house and lot for sale or rent on easy terms." Accosting him, I exclaimed, ''Man alive, what do you mean by putting up such a sign on an unknown prairie? There isn't a house or a street within a rrile of here." Looking up pity ingly, and drawing a roll of paper from his pocket the agent replied: "Here is tho plan for a seven-room house. This afternoon twenty-four men will begin its construction. Here is a contract for its lease already signed at $35 per month, and a week from next Saturday the tenant will move in. My name is Herrick. I'll sell you a lot fronting this double-track street car line on this broad avenue for $3,000. Cheap as dirt. Next week you can refuse $6,000 for your prop erty." Catching my breath, I protested: 'Broad ave nue! Double-track street car line! Great king, this is an open prairie. It has never even been ploughed." But from th 3 other pocket jumped another roll of papers. "Here is tho plan of a street I had recorded this morning, and here is a petition for a street car line. In sixty days you will have both. Here I have a deed all filled out except signing, and I can make this lot right over to you now. We'll get witnesses down town." "Your lot?" I timidly ventured, "is small, only sixteen feet." "Small!" yelled Herrick in a tragic and injured voice. "Do you call sixteen feet front small? Why, you can build a three-story housa on that lot, and that is largo enough for anybody." At this I cut the horse and galloped away through the grass, lest I should fall a victim to Herrick's blandishments and schemes. The Joys ot Anticipation. Detroit Free Press. A colored man o'er whoso head about sev enty summers had passed, was quietly but earnestly wrestling with a watermelon near the market, when he was disturbed by the appearance of a small boy of his color. The boy sat down oa a box and looked grudgingly at the melon, and tho old man, looked up at him and queried: "Young man, I reckons I could give you half dis mellyn an' hab plenty left," -■ ."Thanks, Uncle," "But I shan't do it, lease it might be the spilin' of ye.

Grand Forks has probably as little Democratic sentiment as any of the towns of north Dakota, still there was a respect able gathering of Democrats Monday night to rejoice over the party victory in- Ohio. The sheriffs of Barnes and Stutsman counties left yesterday with the contribu tions of those counties, three or four pris oners, for the penitentiary at Sioux Falls- They travel between 500 and 600 miles to reach the general boarding house of the. territory. There was a rural shooting affi r.y in Grand Forks county recently. The cause of the affray is not known, nor the results, except that N. O.

An examination ia beicg had before Justice Shortidge, This from the Valley City Daily Times is but a straw to show the tendency of senti ment in North Dakota: The result of the late election in Ohio gives the Democrats hopes for success in 1834.

If Bismarck is to remain or beoo ne the capital of Dakota or North Dakota, the price of beer most ccmo down. It is a monstrosity for a town named after the German premier and gambrinns to charge fifteen cents for a small glass of beer. The people there are beginning to realize the situation and demand reform and living rates for the foaming beverage. A few days ago 6ix men working for Peter Auberton, a farmer in the Jamestown region, were poisoned, and it was feared . for a time would not recover, but the seasonable and effective agencies of the medical profession has given them a longer lease of life. They were poisoned by eat ing hash made of corned beef, and each eat of it before discovering anything pecu liar in the taste, 'xhe physician. Dr. De Puy, has sent some of the hash to Ai-n Arbor for chemical examination. Early Tuesday morning Moorhead had the most disastrous fire since last January. The handsome residenoe of N. W. Kailan der, on Eighth street caught fire or wa3 Bet afire by suspicious fellows who had been seen in the vicinity, and had set a hay stack on fire previously, which the neigh bors had put out. As the house was in the suburbs and the water mains not available, little could be done to extinguish the flames. The furniture was saved, but th© house burned. There was an insurance of $2,500 on the building and $2,000 on the furniture. There are forty-seven cars of rails end construction materials in tho yards of the Northern Pacific nt Fargo for the Fargo Soothern railroad. For some reason the Northern Pacific and Manitoba mi'roads have suddenly had a cold streak come over the cordiality they have heretofore mani- __ fested toward the Fargo Southern. The road is an assured fact r.nd nothing can be gained by any other lino in giving it the cold shoulder. It was short-sighted policy to keep up rates so high as to encourage the building of lines connecting with Chi cago roads couth from Fargo, Jamestown, and other points. The local paper, tho Pioneer Press, gives this inkling of tho merry life had in Devils' Lake City. ''The boys" had lota of fun the other night. Taoy just got drunk and went all over town as jolly as they could be; fired off thtir pistols, sang, danced, hallooed, and just had a real nice time. A young man in one of the saloons had to pole out to make room for one of "the boys," because they wanted to have a good, jolly time in there. They had it, and then marched, marched away singing and shooting, as they beat a deathly tread at every step to civilization and its insti tutions. A gentleman from Grand Forks by the name of Mr. Brown, remarked, upon being told that nearly all "the boys'' were in business here for themselves, 'Well, they won't be long." T'tc Dakota Wheat Crop. The report given in St. Paul papoi that a largo portion of the wheat of Dakota north of the Northern Pacific railway was ruined by freezing created ranch surprise here. Inquiry was made of the genera] manager of the Northern Pacific elevator, and it was learned that 'he statement was a gross exaggeration. In Manitoba and the extreme northern part of Dakota the grain was to a small extent damage 1 by frost before it was harvested. For forty miles north of the Northern Pacific there was no damage with the most trilling exception. The company hare tifty three elevators at different points aad only at Mapleton, Wheat land, Buffalo and Tower City had any wheat been received 1 hut was affected by frost, and at those points the warehouse receipts show that less than two per cent, of the whole amount purchased wes in jured. It was stated that in the entire North Pacific belt less than twenty car loads in 1,500,000 bushels shipped had been declared off grade by freezing, and of this lower grade much was made so by smut cockle.
