THE TIM BE It III I EVES.
"Why tli* Cases are Not ProsecutedThe
Statute of Limitations Intervenes
It has been a mystery to a good many peo
ple for several months pabt as to what had
become of the nine land trespass piosecu
ti ma inaugurated something over a year ago
with a great flourish of tmmpets and show
of determination on the part of the govern
ment to bring parties guilty of timber thefts
to a disgorging of their dishonestly gotten
gains. Under the examination ordered,
quite a large number of trespasses were pro
ceeded with, and judgments found against
them in the courts. But as a rule these
proceedings were against the small
fry offenders. Some two or
three of the supposed large
operators were invited into court and com
pelled to settle, bnUit was for small amounts
but still the public waited, and waited in
vain, to see anything to indicate that the
parties who^e operations were believed to
reach the millions of feet of trespass, weie
to be shown up in their true colors, and
made to give up their plunder.
Thug matters have stood for several
months, and though Mr. Jones, the special
agent of the department, has made his
headquarters in this city during all this
lime, leinforced a portion of the time, by
1'ortean, another special agent, the
Col.
oidmarv observer failed to see any indication
of progress being made. In this
emergency a GLOBE reporter took it
upon himself yesterdav to find out how the
matte I stood, and for this purpose he wended
his steps to the office of United States Attor
ney Billson the custom uouse.
Finding Mr. Billson in, the reporter
promp ly stated the quandary he was in.
Tbe announcement caused a questioning
smile to steal over Mr. Billson's face, but
still he settled himself to answer, the sub
slanoe of which is embraced in the follow
ing:
ReporterMr. Billson, can you tell me
the status of the pine land trespass cases?
Mr. BillsonIn what respect?
ReporterWell, as to the large trespass
ersthose who operated so extensively
along in the GO'sand as to the effect of
Judge Dillon's decision in the case of Clark
Thompson, in winch he held in substance
that State laws of limitation applied to cases
in which the United States weie a party, as
well as in State causes.
Mr. BillsonThe decision you have refer
ence to is really Justice Miller's, of the
United States circuit court. It was made on
a motion I made in reference to an execu
tion, in which he laid down the principle
that State laws of limitation operated as a
bar in causes when the United States was a
party, the same as in State cases. The rul
ing being on a motion could not be appealed
from. Judge Dillon last December, in the
case against the bondsmen of Clark Thomp
son, as Indian agent, followed it the prin
ciple laid down by Justice Miller. On this
an appeal was taken to the United States
supieme court, and I have written the attor
ney general, urging the necessity of putting
the case forward on the calendar so that it
can be tiied at the next term of court. If
not put forward it will be fully two years be
fore it can be reached. I am in hopes it will
be advanced, brought up at the forthcoming
term and decided, which will be, I think,
against the piinciple laid down by Justice
Miller and followed by Judge Dillon.
Another thing has operated to prevent prog
ress in the prosecutions in cases of
tresspass not coming under the
six ears limitation. As you know, the ap
propriation of the last Congress was small.
There are ome twelve districts in all on
which similar prosecnttons are pending. Be
sides there was a deficiency to be piovided
for, and it was not known if anv of the ap
propriation would be given this district. We
have, however. Tecentlv received instructions
to go ahead with certain cases not coming
under the bar. and already partially worked
up, and the parties interested will soon be
called upon to come forward, settle, or
take the consequences of legal proceed
inss.
As the above clearly answered the re
porter's inquiries, he thanked Mr. Billson
and retired to ponder, and as he pondered,
he thought a few suggestiors might not be
out of place.
For instance, would it not be well to com
mence without loss of time an examination
of tbe amount of pine trespnss on Bed Lake
river, and tbe Red Lake Indian reservation.
It has been reported, and is believed by many,
that if a thorough examination
of these sections was made, it would devel
op that theie had been stolen from them
between fifteen and twenty million feet of
logs. Promi- ent operators are mentioned in
connection with this trespass, who, of course,
desire to be relieved of the odium attaching
to their names in consequence of the reports
in reference to the matter.
And above all. the GLOBE would suggest
the proprietv of going for the big guns.
Let the small frv have a little rest.
Suggestions will probably be continued in
a day or two, but this will do for the pres
ent.
A Long Life.
A remarkable case of longevity is re
ported to the State commissioner of vital
statistics from Isanti county. That of John
Thompson, who died last December at the
advanced ape of 113 years, 11 months, and
18 days. The announcement of this instance
of how iife can be spun out in the glorious
climate of Minnesota has been delayed by
the slow process of compiling the data and
forwarding the report John Thompson
came to this State in 1857, from Ireland
and at the time of his arrival was afflicted
with consumption. In the pure atmosphere
and healthy surroundinas of this high lati
tude, he took a new lease of life, and
stretched out his already venerable days to
the patiiarchal age at which he died.

DONNELLY CLUB.
THE YOVNG MEN OF ST. PAUL OPEN
THE CAMPAIGN.
A Splendid Club Meeting Last Nigbt
Permanent Organization EffectedA Re
publican Chosen President of the Club
Pertinent Speeches and a Determination
to Elect Donnelly.
The campaign in this city to secure the
election of Ignatius Donnelly to Congress
opened last night under the most favorable
auspices. The young men of the city, irre
spective of party, inaugurated the move
ment. The notice of the meeting last night
was only extended to the public a short
time, yet a response given was altogether en
couraging.
At the hour named, 7:30 o'clock, the
crowd began to collect. At 8 o'clock the
large room, Democratic headquarters, was
filled with enthusiastic supporters of Don
nelly. Every seat was occupied and the
lobby to the rear of the seats wa
crowded with spectators and interested
auditors. Every symptom of enthusiastic
earnestness was manifested. The assembly
was largely composed of young men, those
who are ready to work and earnest in the
cause they have espoused. The crowd can
be taken as a fair index of the class of sup
porters Donnelly has drawn to him, those
who will be untiring and zealous in their la
bors. Not only in the speeches, but among
the audience in informal talk, tbe same spir
it of enthusiasm, earnestness and belief
Donnelly was expressed. The meeting
was, throughout, orderly, but dem
onstratively enthusiactic whenever
Donnelly's name was mentioned, or some
vigorous arraignment of the Republican
party was made.
THE PBOCEEDINGS.
The meeting was called to order by the
temporary president of the club, Mr. Joseph
Oppenheim. Dr. J. Owens acted as secre
tary.
The president stated that a few even
ings ago the young men of St. Paul deter
mined to form a Donnelly club, and a meeting
for that purpose was held at the corner of
Fourth and Jackson streets, and that he, the
speaker, was elected temporary chairman.
The speaker explained that the club was to
be formed for the purpose of furthering the
election of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly to
Congres, the members ot the club
voting for any other candidate they
pleased. The gentleman called upon Dr.
Oweng to read the minutes of the previous
meeting, after which the election of a per
manent president was called for.
On motion of Mr. Birmingham the tem
porary chairman, Mr. Oppenheim, was
elected permanent chairman.
On assuming the chair Mr. Oppenheim
returned thanks. He stated he had always
voted the Republican ticket. But after due
reflection and an inspection of the depressed
condition of business, he thought something
was the matter with the financial policy, and
that was wholly due to the
Republican party. The gentleman
said the purpose was to place
men in office who would legislate for the
people. He believed the people would find
Mr. Donnelly to be such a person. The
speaker again referred to the finance ques
tion, and referred to the Republican howl
over the rem netization of silver. It would
make gold go up to 85 per cent, premium,
but it didn't, and the speaker was free to
confess, that he had lost a hat on the ques
tion. Of Mr. Donnelly he had nothing but
good to say, and felt sure he would be elect
ed. [Applause.] We have influence, and
let us exercise it for our candidate. [Ap-
plause.]
Dr. H. Birmingham was elected vice
president and returned thanks for the
honor.
Dr. J. Owens was elected secretary, and
on assuming the duties, he said he had al
ready worked for Donnelly, and meant to
keep it up. He had gotten 200 names
pledged to Donnelly, and he believed that
out of the 5,500 votes in St. Paul, 5,000 of
them would be cast for Donnelly. [Ap-
plause.]
On suggestion of the president, and by
vote, the following committee was appoint
ed on rules and by-laws:
Messrs. Willis, W. B. McGrorty and Wm.
L. Kelly.
Mr. H. S. Fairchild moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed by the chair to
canvass the city for members to the Don
nelly club. Carried.
The president stated he would make the
appointments, and announce them at the
next meeting.
W. L. KELLY.
The president then called on Mr. Wm. L.
Kelly to address the meeting. Mr. Kelly
responded in a speech of some length. He
introduced his speech by an eloquent refer
ence to the grandeur and greatness of our
conntrv physically. He drew a picture of our
resources, as boundless. The speaker con
trasted our country with that of others in
the old world, which we ternud effete, and
with all our boundless resources, he knew
many men who were staring the winter in
the face with the horrid prospect of star
vation Men wanted woik but could not get
it bankrupts were numerous indebtedness
loaded down the individual and the country.
It was all owing to the false financial policy
of the last fourteen years. [Applause.] The
legislation has been for the rich and to the
injury of the poor. We want and must have
a party in power of the people
and for the people. The speaker
then explained at length and in detail the
pernicious and false financial legislation of
the Republican party, which had gotten the
people into the grasp of a few capitalists.
They feel as if they owned the country, and
were determined not to relax their grasp.
Right here, in our own district, the speaker
said, we had the opportunity to express our
selves on this subject, by electing Ignatius
Donnelly to Congress. [Applause.] He
was a colossal man, brains all over. You
know him, as well as I do. He is a firm and
consistent man. The speaker then spoke of
Mr. Donnelly's career, and of the foul con
spiracy which had ejected him from Congress.
He indorsed his conduct for the last ten
vears. Throughout this part of his remarks
the speaker was applauded to the echo. The
speaker gave wholesome advice how to elect
their candidate. Each man should con
stitute himself a committee of one to work
for Donnelly [applause] and work for him
first and last. [Applause]. The
enemy yj have to contend
against has money, and the power of all the
officeholders at his back. But the people
will defeat them. And the speaker closed by
saying, "I believe that as sure as the sun will
go down on the 5th of November, just so
sure will that day see the election of Ignatius
Donnelly Representative in Congress from
the Third district." [Great applause.]
BEMARKS OF H. S. FAIBOHTLD.
Mr. H. S. Fairchild was the next speaker.
He opened with an allusion to the financial
condition of the country, rind said despite
the legislation of the Republican party, the
people were on the eve of bringing the
country out of the abyss, and it was the duty
of us all to hold up the hands of the people
by the elec'ion of such men as would legis
late for them.
The speaker, in connection with the re
sumption of specie payments, and the ques
tions naturally arising therefrom, said the
people wanted quick and sagacious men as
law-makers. The people need not look far,
they have such an one in Ignatius Donnelly.
[Applause.] The gentleman then followed
in no stinted words of praise for the candi
date, and every word was applauded with the
greatest amount of enthusiasm. The gentle
man claimed not to be so narrow-minded ag
to advocate Donnelly in the interest of St.
Paul, nor oppose Washburn because he was
from Minneapolis. He wanted Donnelly
elected because be was a broad
minded man of comprehensive' intellect.
On the other hand Washburn failed through
his contracted prejudices to comprehend the
issues of the day. In the near future, the
speaker saw a contest on the part of the
West and South against the East. At such a
moment St. Paul had a vital interest in the
matter, and it were well to have the proper
representative to seize advantages for his
constituency. The gentleman then pro
ceeded to explain that every alight appropri
ation for the improvement of the West had
to be dragged out of the East. But now the
West and South had the supremacy of pow
er, and such a coalition would, if properly
represented, demand and obtain from the
government the improvements of its streams
that its prodncts might find a direct and re
munerative market. The gentleman fol
lowed in a long and exhaustive statement of
the benefits to be deprived from opening
the Mississippi to a thorough navigation,
and by this means he saw the country, the
vast West, bio ming like a rose. To this
end, to accomplish sd much for us, he want
ed a great man, one who was equal to the
emergency, and in Ignatius Donnelly the
people would have such an advocate.
Mr. 'Washburn wasn't capac oas enough.
His mental calibre was too small.
Mr. Washburn was well enough for some
minor office, but as an opponent to Don
nelly it was absurd to hesitate a moment.
The gentleman then drew a happy contrast
between the working power of the two men.
If a measure were to come for the interest
of the people, Mr. Washburn may say a
few calm, dispassionate words in its behalf
and that's all. Ignatius Donnelly, on the
other hand, would talk vigorously and work
energetically. [Applause.] Why, when
here in our legislature, he favored a meas
ure, Mr. Donnelly carried it through the
Senate and went to the House and made
them pass it. [Laughter.] If he opposed
it, he killed it. [Laughter.]
The gentleman concluded by saying be
knew Mr. Donnelly was the man for the
place, and the strongest vote should be
called out for his election.
Mr. Willis,president of the Jefferson club,
was called upon and responded by saying he
fully endorsed Mr. Donnelly, but must de
.chne to make an extended speech.
Mr. McGrorty made a few remarks full of
assurances that the Democrats would win.
Reform and retienchment had won for the
party the control of the House, and it was
leading towards a full control of the whole
government.
A BUSINESS MAN'S VIEWS.
Mr. Ansel Oppenheim being called out
stated he could only talk from a business
standpoint, and in this connection stated
these propositions as desirable:
FirstThe repeal of the resumption act.
SecondThe entire remonetization of
silver.
ThirdLegislation to curb the extension
of the vast corporations.
FourthThe repeal of the national bank
system.
Upon these few subjects the gentlemen en
larged, and met the high approval of his
audience. The speaker referred to the de
pressed condition of business, how everybody
was mortgaged, and that a debt contracted
years ago required double tne an ount to pay
it now. This was brought about by the
false legislation of the Republican party.
Out of this despairing state of
affairs we need the help of
such men as Ignatius Donnelly. [Applause.]
The speaker closed by saying he knew he
would be elected. [Applause
Mr. C. B. Sbanley said he fully en
dorsed the sentiments uttered to-night.
The speaker looked upon Ignatius Donnelly
as a statesmen equal to the times. If he
were elected he would be a representative of
the people. As such he would support him.
[Applause.]
On motion the meeting then adjourned to
meet at the same place next Thursday
night.

taken home.
Hons. William L. Banning and William S.
Crooks, of this city, addressed the people of the
Junctiob and vicinity on the political issues of
the day, last evening. Keep the ball rolling.
The State auditor leaves next Monday to
commence the sale of school, agricultural col
lege, university and internal improvement
lands. The first sale occurs in Stearns county,
at St. Cloud. *&!%*
The collectors of internal revenue reports
that 20,266 19-100 gallons of spirits were recti
fied in this district during the month of Sep
tember, all of which Was confined to Minne
apolis and this city.
The judge of the probate court discharged
Jacob Hanauer from custody yesterday. He
was the party brought in from Bichneld by
Chief Weber as being oat of his mind. On
examination he was adjudged not insane.
Theodor Sander, for many years publisher of
the Staati Zeitunq and more recently manager
of the Volkxzeitung, is out in a card replying to
some criticism made by that paper uron him.
Mr Sander is a good newspaper man and it was
evidently a great error when he was deposed.
The fire which occurred night before laBt on
Como avenue resulted more diastrously to Mrs.
Sullivan than at first reported. She had a large
amount of furniture packed up in the building
which she formerly used a boarding house.
It nearly all was destroyed, and her loss is fuliy
estimated to reach $400.
A furious runaway down Fourth and culmi
nating at the corner of Jackson, created quite
a breeze yesterday. The horse was the proper
ty of Hugh J. McAffee, machinist, corner
Fourth and Wacouta. There was a number of
narrow escapes, but no one was hurt. The
buggy was badly demoralised.
By announcement elsewhere it will be seen
that one of the prominent insurance agents in
the city has withdrawn from the board of
underwriters. He will undoubtedly be sus
tained in this course by our business men, who
have not enjoyed the advance in rates result
ing from the recent combination. In fact,
someot our heaviest merchants have taken
their insurance East in order to obtain the old
rates. Mr. Miller will be cordially endorsed by
business men for restoring competition, which
is tbe true basis for all business.
Hon. I. Donnelly reached St. Paul yesterday
from speaking on the political issues of the
day at Dnluth and Pine City. In response to
the inquiries of the reporter. Mr. Donnelly said
he had two splendid meetings, the attendance
being good at both places, and his heaiers pay
ing the closest attention to the arguments ad
vanced. After a short stop in the city, Mr.
Donnelly took his departure for Cottage Grove
where he spoke last night, and will return this
morning and go up to Long Lake, Hennepin
county, where he speaks to-night.
Mr. P. Grady, of Lakeville, met with an acci
dent yesterday afternoon which might have
proved very much more serious than it really
wasserious matter enough though as it was
Grady thought. His team was standing bel
Bide the store of O'Grady, on Bridge square,
and he was standing on the hub of toe wheel]
when his horses started and his leg was crushed
between the hub and the bolster. Fortunately
the horses were tied, and stopped at the end of
their tether. Had they moved a few inches
further the foot and leg would have been
smash and mangled dreadfully as it was it
was badly bruised, the foot swelling so much
that he was obliged to cut open his boot.
CHAFFER'S HU3IPUS.
The Latest Report from tbe Jackson Street

A GLOBE man rubbed up against a member
of the Jackson Street M. E. churoh yester
day, and to the salutation, "How are you?"
got the response:
"Not at all well."
"Am sorry to hear it what ails you?"
"Oh, I thought you meant about the
church.'5
"So I do," promptly splurted out the re
reporter, at once taking in the situation.
"Well, bad enough. As was said, the
church will take no action as a body about
Mr. Chaffee's assignment. They will sub

"How does the trouble come in, then?"
"Sust as was said, the church is disinte

withdrawals from the church are very many.

And the gentleman counted not less than
eleven families who have left the church
since Mr. Chaffee's assumption of the pas
torate.
"Some of these, too," continued the in
formant, "have already united themselves to
another church (he named them) and among
others I have heard the expression of the
same intent."
The gentleman was then left by the GLOBE

A Card to he Public.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 3d, 1878.
Believing the present Board of Underwriters
of Saint Paul to be run in the interest of a
few agencies only, and for reasons satisfactory
to myself, I have determined to withdraw from
said board from this date.
Having a large line of reliable and responsi
ble companies, my aim shall be to offer in
surance at fair rates, duly weighing each risk
on its merits, and, taking this independent
course, I confidently look for the support of
the business men of this community.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.
The Situation as the Examiner Finds It.
In an informal talk with Mr. Knox, public
examiner, a GLOBE man-learned a startling
thing or two about the county treasurers in
general. Their manner of doing r-usineas is
universally irregular and altogether devoid
of system. In many instances the treasur
er's books have not been balanced for six
months, yet daily receipts come in and large
disbursements are made. Then again, when
accounts and moneys are examined, a won
derful feature is discoveredthe treasurer
has on hand in funds more money than he
is accountable for on paper. This comes from
one or two things, the treasurers are either
collecting fees, etc., to which they are not
entitled, or are short in funds and fill up in
borrowed or personal money to cover up
their shortages. In either event the loose
way in which the business is managed doesn't
give even them the information of just how
much they are indebted to the county or
hold intrust. Ihe confused manner of the
transaction of this particular public business,
and carelessness in the trust, has urged
upon the examiner to devise some way to
check it. Moreover, in his examinations he
frequently has no starting point from
which to begin his investigation, and
to evolve a result, is compelled to overhaul
and examine the whole chaotic mass. To
obviate this in future, he is providing him
self with blanks, which will be sent to all
county treasurers, and thereon they will be
compelled to certify, under oath, to a month
ly statement of funds received, disbursed
and on hand. While this deplorable con
dition of affairs doesn't exist everywhere, the
exceptions only make the universal practice
more noticeable and to be condemned.
