THE Chicago Tribune alleges that Pendle
ton borrowed his financial ideas from Dirty
Shirt Dean, of Iowa. If this is the case he
has improved upon them to such an extent
that the original possessor would not recog
nize them.
HAYES, it is said, proposes to offer the
English mission to Gen. Grant. This would
be a characteristic exhibition of Hayes'
judgment, and would probably be resented
-with proper spirit, for the tender would be
little less than an insult.
THE friends of Dick Thompson, the re
nowned mariner of the \Vabash, have
brought him out as the next Republican can
didate for governor of Indiana. This is the
result of his recent claim that Indiana will
take her dace in the Republican ranks next
year. If he refuses the nomination there
will be people uncharitable enough to say
that his opinion was only so much buncombe.
THE latest scheme of an Iowa evangelist
to promote the reading of the scriptures is
the publication of a bible with each alter
nate page filled with advertisements. This
genius must be a relative of the old woman
who read the dictionary through from cover
to cover, but couldn't quite get the hang of
the story. Those who find the bible dry
reading will not be apt to hanker after ad
vertisements.
IF ex-Boss Shepherd, of Washington,
doesn't succeed in forming a company to
operate a mine Mexico, for which he has
obtained a grant from the Mexican govern
ment, be will take the management of the
Baltimore & OHo railroad. He finds a great
deal of faculty in inducing capitalists to
nvest in his mining enterprise, for they
have somehow got the impression that he is
a sort of a slippery cuss.
THE St. Louis minister of the Baptist per
suasion who held Bervice in a Jewish syna
gogue after his own church was destroyed by
fire, and was excommunicated from the de
nomination for doing so, no doubt commit
ted a heinous crime by recognizing the fact
that Israelites have some claim upon heaven,
yet we would much prefer to be in his shoes
when the final balance is struck than in the
placo of his sectarian persecutors.
THE cost of maintaining the public schools
all over the country has nearly doubled
within the past dozen years. The cause of
the increase is the introduction of many
branoaes of study that in no sense form a
part of the common school system, such as
instruction in German, music, drawing, and
other branches, that are purely ornamental.
The enemies of the common schools will
find their strongest arguments against it in
these extravagances, and unless something
is done to check them the opposition to the
system will continue to increase with time.
About twenty-one millions of dollars have
been paid out under the arrearages of pen
sions act, this amount being distributed
among over thirty-eight thoueand pensioners.
The commissioner of pensions is of opinion
that the remaining four millions will be suf
ficient to cover all the remaining claims.
It will be remembered that Mr. Sherman
violently opposed the bill for the reason, as
lie claimed, that it would cost the country
a hundred and fifty millions. The real se
cret of his opposition, however, was his hos
tility to the soldier element. The result
proves Sherman didn't know a great deal
about what he was talking of.
TALM AGE'S RETURN.
Talmage, the great Brooklyn mountebank
preacher, has returned from a four months'
sojourn in Great Britain. He was, of course,
promptly interviewed by a reporter on his
arrival at New York, and the recollections of
bis trip have been spread before the public.
He declares that he had a most delightful
time, that he lectured ninety-six times while
there, made a great deal of money, the ad
mission fees to both his lectures and ser
mons bringing in plenty of shekels that he
mingled freely with the aristocraoy and
common people and that he felt completely
at home. He seems to have pursued the
plan of peddling salvation at so muoh a
head practiced at Minnetonka by Deacons
Gilmore, Keith and Johnson, but with much
better financial success. One question put
to him by the Herald reporter, together
with its answer, is notable. Said the re
porter:
"Did you make many converts to Christiani
ty in England?"
"I will say this," said Mr. Talmage, "1 come
back with greater encouragement for doing
Christian work than I ever felt in all my life.
As soon as I get my sea legs off I shall start
anew in my work with fresh vigor and earnest-
Bess."
Here was a plain and unmistakable dodg
ing of the question. He did not dare to
lie outright, for he knew he had accomplish
ed no good whateverhad simply amused
his audiences as a clown does at a oircus
but apologized for the prostitution of his
office by promising to do better in the fu
ture. If he had not passed the period at
\yhich a sense of shame overcomes a man
for manifest neglect of his opportunities, he
might have blushed to be obliged to evade
snch a question, the first that would natur
ally rise to the lips of one who knew the
profession he followed. The question of
converting sinners was a secondary consider
ation to him if, indeed, it entered into his
thoughts at all. He orossed the ocean bent
on money-getting, advertised his clownish
tricks by all the means adopted by theatrical
and oircus managers, made money, and is
satisfied. He did not make an effort to save
the lost. That was subservient to the pre
dominating idea of filling his pockets.
Such men are a disgrace to the clerical
profession. They give the public the im
pression that the clergy are actuated by no
higher motives than thoso that govern the
men of the world. He has sought to make
himself notorious for no other purpose than
to be able to command a large salary in the
pulpit and on the lecture platform. The
means he has employed for the purpose are
the most reprehensiblethose of the char
latan, pure and simple. He preaches be
cause it pays, not because by that means he
may be enabled to turn some from the evil
of their way into paths that are paths of
righteousness and peace. Such men do
more injury to the cause of religion than a
score of earnest Christians can repair, and!
should receive no encouragement from those
who have the welfare of the church at heart.
ZIP SERVICE AND HEART SERVICE.
This people draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and honoreth me with their lips but
their heart is far from meMATTHEW XV:8.
With a majority of professing Christians
religion is a sentiment, not a conviction.
They have been taught to believe that in ev
ery human heart there is inborn a longing
after the infinite, a belief in immortality, a
desire to worship some being about which no
one knows anything and therefore, to dem
onstrate that they are no exceptions to the
rule they embrace the most convenient form
of Christianity that happens to be lying
around loose. All they know, or seem to
know,about it is that it has been accepted by
some one in the past as the true religion,
and will serve to appease the craving afore
said. They never reason. They take it for
granted that they need what is called relig
ion, and so they adopt Christianity as their
faith simply for the reason that there is no
other religion extant hereabouts. They do
not stop to inquire whether the plan of sal
vation laid down in the scriptures is a plan
that can be reconciled to reason or not. It
simply serves to supply what they have been
taught to believe is an inborn aspiration. If
they were in Turkey or Arabia they would as
readily espouse the Mohammedan faith, or if
they were in China they would be found
among the followers of Buddha.
When such blind unreasoning induces
men and women to attach themselves to
the Christian church, is it any wonder that
they honor the master with their lips, while
their heart is far from him? We will not
argue the question of whether the religious
sentiment is natural to man in every con
dition of life. The assertion has been made,
over and over again, by theologians for
centuries, and though there are abundant
facts that might be adduced to disprove it,
it is, perhaps, better for the world that the
superstition should remain unchallenged.
Yet the acceptance of this theory in its en
tirety is productive of much harm. Men ar
gue in this wise: "It was the intention of my
creation that I should be religious. At least,
so I have been taught, and I begin to feel
that it is so. I will fulfill my de3tiny, yet
the whole business is a mystery to me. I
prefer not to bother myself about it, but will
accept it on faith as did my father before
me." It would be wonderful indeed if a
human being could do otherwise than be
lieve that his destiny was to be religious,
after having the fact constantly before him
from the first dawn of his childish intelli
gence through a long succession of years.
It would, indeed, be marvelous if he should
grow up without a deep-seated conviction
that man is a religious animal by nature, for
the distinction between natural inclination
and the bent of education is not clearly de
fined.
So it happens that many thousands of
people join the church without any well de
fined theory of religion, and without the
faintest conception of the duties assumed
when they profess Christianity. The preacher
tells them that religious sentiment is uni
versal, and they believe it. He tells them
they must accept the doctrines taught from
the pulpit unquestioningly, for to doubt is
to be damned. If he attempts to reconcile
those doctrines, many of them repulsive to
his better nature, with reason, he is told
that he is on the edge of the abyss of ration
alism, and rationalism is the bete noir of
tne pulpit. To be a rationalistor what is
the same thing, rationalin religion com
prises the greatest crime apainsfc the church.
To exercise the noblest function God has
implanted in the human breast, with the pur
pose of correctly interpreting bis will, is
an unpardonable offense, subjecting one
first to suspicion, then to remonstrance, and
finally to denunciation and excommuni
cation from fellowship. If one sees any
error in the imperfect translation of the
scriptures from the original tongues now
in use, he is reminded of the anathema
contained in the last chapter of the book
of Revelations: "And if any man
shall take any from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life."
More reason and less faith is wanted in
the church. Men must be convinced of the
truths of Christianitymust feel in their
hearts the magnificent, divine plan of the
atonementmust know that their Redeemer
hveth, and be able to justify and defend the
faith that is in them. One man who is con
vinced by reason of the verity of religion is
worth a score who simply accept on faith
what is spoken from the pulpit. He will be
no lip-server, but an earnest, diligent worker
in the cause. His heart will be thoroughly
enlisted in what his reason convinces him is
for his own best good and for the good of
his fellow men. But those who do not ap
preciate the importance of religionwho
take it, as it were, warmed overwill always
be numbered among those who honor God
with their lips while their hearts are far
from him. A religion that cannot stand the
light of reason does not deserve to stand at
all, but we do not esteem the Christian re
ligion as such an one. We only deplore the
efforts of some of its advocates to lower it to
the level of a superstition that would be dis
sipated by close, logical analysis as readily as
a mist disappears before the rays of the
morning sun. To doubt the common ac
ceptation of any given doctrine does not nec
essarily imply a disbelief in the essential
features of Christianity, but to so reason
from logical premises as to frame a consis
tent and complete whole out of the fragmen
tary material at hand is to confer a lasting
blessing upon humanity and to strengthen
immeasurably the cause of true religion.

THE SHORT JJINE.
How the "Work is ProgressingThe Hlg
Summit Avenue CatCars to be Running
Dec. 1st.
Work on the short line railroad between
St. Paul and Minneapolis is progressing
very favorably. The road-bed has been put
at grade for the entire distance, both sides
of the river, excepting through the big
Snmmit avenue cut, a distance of about one
and a third miles, and the track laid the en
tire distance to the connection with the
bridge. Through the big cut the track is
not down to grade, but as the dirt is being
removed at the rate of 25,000
yards for every twenty-four hours
gangs being steadily employ
ed from 6 o'clock Sunday
evening to 6 o'clock Sunday morningit is
expected the cut will be completed by Novem
ber 1st. The contract for the bridge across
the Mississippi river calls for its completion
at that date, but it is not now thought prob
able that it will be completed by the 15th of
that month, by which time it is expected,
with reasonably favorable weather, that the
road bed for the entire distance will be sur
faced and ready for running fast trains. It
is hardly probable, however, that the road
will be completed and ready for regular
trains before tne 1st of December.
Organization of Ex-Soldiers.
Pursuaht to call some fifty ex-soldiers met
at the old court house at 7:30 last evening.
The call mentioned that all old soldiers de
siring to keep alive the friendships and the
glories of the late war were invited to partic
ldate in the organization. As the
object of the organization is under
stood, it will grow. The meeting
last evening was organized by catling CoL
W. H. H. Taylor to the chair, and the elec
tion of Capt. Henry A. Castle as secretary.
On motion the chair was authorized to
appoint a committee on permanent organiza
tion, and did so as follows: Cant. James
Starkey, Capt. M. J. O'Connor, Major
Brackett, Matt Mueller.
A committee of three on constitution wa3
appointed as follows: Col. W. H. H. Taylor,
Capt. Otto Dreher and Edward Richards.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion was instructed to secure a hall for future
meetings, and the meeting adjourned for one
week.
General Jackson died at Appleton last week.
He was a colored man over 100 years old.
THE ROGERS1
SUNDAY GLOBE, SUNDAY ittUKNLNG, OUf. 5, 1879.
MUTILATED CABBAGES.
And a $19 Fracas Resulting Therefrom.
The climax of a oomedy in. one act was
reached in the municipal court on yesterday
afternoon which deserves to be entitled the
"Bloodthirsty bovine, or the mutilated cab
bage patch," the plot being as follows: A
Sixth ward merchant named Michael Iten
relieves the monotony of existence by cul
tivating a Knickerbocker cabbage patch. As
the summer waned the cabbage waxed into
large and wholesome heads, and the round
belly of the industrious Iten was fain to
shake with joy as he beheld the spreading
fatness of his cabbage.
But alas for the vanity of human expecta
tions. A drove of irreverent cows had
gazed longingly npon the patch, and one
night when the gate was down they walked
in and proceeded to demolish that lot of
cabages. On making the discovery the old
man's soul rose to arms and he panted for
revenge like the hind for running water
He laid a trap for the horned intruders and
in the silent watches of the night he man
aged to lasso one of the intruders.
The cow belonged to Bridget Drea, and
upon claiming her property the next morn
ing she was told that the c"w would be de
livered upon the payment of $15 damages.
Not caring to pay for what the other cows
had destroyed she refused, offering to sub
mit the matter of damages to a referee.
Mr. Iten wanted his $15 or nothing, and
when Mrs. Drea went for that cow there
straightway arose a fight.
The battle was waged with vigor, and
while she claims that she was pitchforked by
Mr. Iten, he asseverates that she spanked
him with a shovel. The case was before
Judge Flint yesterday, on counter charges of
assault and battery, and they were each fined
$5 and costs.
ESTATE.
A Snit Brought by One of the Executors.
An affidavit has been filed in the probate
court by D. W. Wellman, one of the execu
tors of the will of Hiram Rogers, deceased*
calling upon W. D. Rogers, a co-executor of
the will, to render an itemized account of all
moneys collected since the death of his fa
ther, together with the names of those from
whom the collections were made and a com
plete statement of all rents now due the es
tate.
The petitioner also requests that he be com
pelled to make a statement of all moneys be
longing to the estate which have been ex
pended by him, together with the vouchers,
and that he also be compelled to file a sup
plemental inventory of the household proper
ty of deceased, and all other property not
inventoried. It is further aBked that the
homestead be leased, and that W. D. Rogers
be required to give bond, to protect the es
tate,in default thereof and that he be removed
as executor.
Ater describing the terms of the will, the
affidavit states that deceased left real es
tate valued at $36,300, the annual rental of
which is from $8,000 to $9,000. The in
debtedness is given at from $65,000 to $70,-
000, $40,000 of which is over due.
Out of the $65,000 owed by the estate
$1,500 is unsecured, the balance being se
cured by mortgage on the property. It is
alleged that the personal property is insuf
ficient to pay the unsecured debts and that
the profits will prove insufficient to pay the
same for years to come. The hearing of
the affidavit will take place on the 8th inst.
A Ne Manufacturing- Establishment in
fet Paul.
Among the long list of first premiums
awarded for excellency in the manufacture of
culinary articles, at the last State fair given
by the Minnesota Agricultural society, it
will be remembered that many of the prizes
were'carried'off by Mrs. J. W. Boxweil, resid
ing near Afton, in Washington county.
The justly celebrated reputation acquired
by Mrs. Boxweil in this department of domes
tic economy has at last assumed such practi
cal shape a3 will redound to the interest of
the public at large, instead of being limited
to her own home, where she has hitherto
confined her superior ability.
Tne departure alluded to, consists of an
establishment in this city for the manufac
ture of tomato catsup, which has recently
been started at No. 63 Exchange street.
The business is conducted by Mrs. Boxweil
and her son who have inaugurated their
work on a most liberal scale. The manu
factory consists of a room used as a recepta
cle for tomatoes, a boiling down room, a
room for their preparation and a packing
and sale room.
The utmost care is used in the selection of
the tomatoes and their preparation is under
the personal supervision of Mrs. Boxwell,who
has succeeded in making an article which
for flavor and general excellence has never
been equalled in this city. The catsup is
put up in quart jugs for family use, and in
five and ten gallon kegs to accommodate the
wholesale trade. The article has been gener
ally introduced to the wholesale and retail
trade of the city, and a large family trade
has already been established. The laudable
enterprise has thus far been liberally encour
aged, and the catsup is universally declared
the best ever manufactured in this country.
Park Avenue Grading.
A large majority of the property owners
along Park avenuethose who have to pay
for the grading now in progressare dis
satisfied with the way the work is being
done. The discontented held a meeting last
evening to give voice to their grounds of
complaint. The avenue is twelve blocks in
length, and ostensibly 100 feet in width,
but of this 100 feet thirty-three feet on
each side, or sixty-six feet in all, is reserved
for sidewalk and boulevard purposes, added
to which is six feet of gutter, whioh leaves
but twenty-eiget feet of road bed. While
the property holders think this road
bed is altogether too narrow, they would not
so much object was the avenue being prop
erly graded, but a grade that simply takes
their property from them, for which they
are required to pay in the procurement of a
so called improvement, and leaves the avenue
with its hills and gulleys almost untouched,
is something they cannot understand. In
short, they are willing to pay for the grad
ing of the avenue if such grading is done in a
manner to meet the public wants and benefit
the property lying on it, but they are unan
imous in pronouncing the present grade
which robs them of their property, and does
not improve the thoroughfare, a fraud.
An Attempted Feat of Gymnastics Which
Resulted Seriously.
To the extensive list of casualties that
have been recorded within the past few days,
to which juveniles have been the victims,
the GLOBE is now compelled to chronicle
the following accident: About 3 o'clock
yestarday afternoon the five-year old son of
James Morran, residing near Fort street,
about two blocks west of the street car
track, was riding on a lumber wagon in
company with several young companions
who were amusing themselves by jumping at
random about the wagon. The horses were
moving at a slow walk, which induced cev
eral of the older boys to attempt the gym
nastic performance of lighting upon the
hub of the wheel and springing from thence
into he wagon. The feat was attempted by
young Morran, who missed his balance and
fell, his feet catching in the hub of the wheel,
dragging him a few yards head downwards.
The injaries sustained were very serious,
consisting of an ugly incision on the right
temple, pressing the artery and almost tak
ing off the right ear. He was* also oruisea
on other parts of the body. The sufferer
was attended by Dr. Dewey, acd at last ac
counts was doing well.
Several cases of yellow fever have recent
ly occurred in Monticello, Wright connty.
THE UNION DEPOT.
Important Meeting YesterdayThe Build
ing About to be ErectedLess Extensive
Than Expected.
The council committee on streets held an
important meeting yesterday afternoon. The
subjeot to be considered was the petition o*
the Union Depot company to have a street
opened from Sibley to Wacouta, back of
what is known as the Kelly block. As the
matter was alike of importance to represen
tative railroad men, city representatives and
property holders, the following were in at
tendance to look after the several interests
involved:
Mayor Dawson, City Attorney Murray, Al
dermen Dowlan, O'Conner, Bell, Smith,
Rhodes, Minea and Brennan. Messrs. A. B.
Stickney, St. Paul, Stillwater & Taylor Falls
railroad J.P. Illsley, St. Paul & Dulnth
railroad Mr. Easterbrooka secretary of the
Union depot, and Messrs. Julius Wann, Fer
dinand Willius, Henry Sohurmeier and
others.
A long discussion of the petition took
place. The railroad representatives, Mr.
Stickney spokesman, explained the necessity
of the street for traffic purposes around the
depot. Entrance would be made to the de
pot on Sibley street, and the exit of all pas
sengers would take place on this new street
if opened. In connection with this expla
nation, Mr. Starkey spread out'a plan of the
Union depot which showed the extent of the
building and its adjuncts. Hereon, a build
ing, the Union Depot, is provided for, in ex
tent 105 by 130 feet, and beyond it were
sheds and platforms for passengers, etc.
Mr. Wann, Aid, Dowlan and Mayor Daw
son exclaimed that they were led to the be
lief that the union depot which it was con
templated to erect would be one in the
fullest sense, a building into which the
trains were to be run and passengers allowed
to embark and disembark. The building
exhibited was only a waiting-room, to which
were attached platform-sheds.
Mr. Stickney explained the conveniences
of the proposed plan, and seemingly allayed
any objection. He remarked that all that
was asked was for the convenience of the
publicthe railroads wanted nothing. Such
an improvement as the union depot wouldn't
profit them anything at all. The railroad
companies, to accommodate the traveling
public and traffic generally, would build the
depot, provided the city of St. Paul caused a
street thirty feet wide, petitioned for, to be
opened. This required the condemnation of
nineteen feet on the north side of the pro
posed to be donated as a public highway,
while the Union depot company surrendered
eleven feet without cost to the city, retain
ing only a few feet to and beyond the street
curb around the depot building. He believed
the opening of such a street would enhance
the value of the lots facing the depot.
Mr. Ferd Willius believed it wouldjinjare
his property.
Mr. Wann didn't think so.
The whole subject was discussed pro and
con., and an adjournment was suggested by
Mr. Murray. He asked the property owners
if they'd surrender the strip of land off
their lots, and thus save the cost of condem
nation proceedings to the city.
AnswerNo.
He then asked the railroads or Union De
pot company to surrender all the land up to
the depot lor street purposes.
Mr. Isley saw no objection to such a con
cession.
Aid. Smith did not know what was wanted
with the new street extension through the
blook between Rosabel and Wacouta streets.
Messrs. Stickney and Illsley thought that
part of their petition could readily be aban
doned.
On this basis the committee decided to
recommend that the street be opened between
Sibley and Rosabel streets, and that the city
authorities be empowered to take measures
to ascertain damages and benefits, as usual
in snch cases.
The question of the city vacating Rosabel,
Wacouta, Broadway and other streets from
Dayton's bluff to Sibley street, or so much of
each thoroughfare as crossed the line, next
came up. The railroad interest concede
that Broadway might be excepted in the
general "vacation" and with such an under
standing the committee and visitors disband
ed. Charitable Work, Bu a Horse That Was
Not Up in the Work.
This story has amoral to it. Yesterday
two young ladies, Miss Birmingham and
Mollie Smith, having drawn their stipend
for September services in the public schools,
felt generously inclined, and started out on
a begging tour for the Orphans' fair. As
the rarity of charity alas! is proverbial, the
young ladies knew their day's journey
would be for a field, so they st out in
a buggy to visit and solicit. In the course
of their Saturday airing, they pulled a whoa
at the Capitol. Both jumped out and went
into the building to request the state officers
to come down. A wise procedure on the
part of the ladies, so near election you know,
and one wholly successful,'if. W-iich "if"
occured out doors. When the young ladies
got out of their buggy, with the intention of
getting into the purses of the people's
well paid servants, they carelessly left their
horse unhitched. When they came out
smilingly, why shouldn't they, for the of
ficials had electioneered liberally, their horse
and buggy attachment was gone. It was
soon found to be a case of runaway, and re
port was made at police headquarters.
About 2:30 o'clock a young darkey brought
in the lost property, which he said he'd
caught on Tenth street about 11:30 o'clock.
Daring the interval he'd "jes bin riding
round." The ladies, however, didn't aban
don their soliciting, which wan continued on
foot.
Sersons Accident Near Fort Snelling.
A frightful accident occurred near the
Fort Snelling bridge about 11 o'clock yester
day forenoon, resulting seriously to a farmer
named Lawrence Staub, residing in the im
mediate vicinity of the bridge.
At the time named Mr. Staub was driving
down the steep grade which leads to the
ferry from the north side of the river, when
his team became frightened and started at a
rapid rate down the grade.
Mr. Staub was thrown from the wagon,
being seriously injured, breaking three ribs
on his left side and susiaining painful bruis
es on other parts of the body.
Dr. Talbot Jones, of this city, was sum
moned, administering proper relief to the
sufferer.
He was doing well last night and it is
thought that he will recover.
The Baldwin Concert.
The concert for the benefit of Mr. Bald
win, organist of the House of Hope church,
on Tuesday evening, promises to be one of
the pleasantest musical events of the season.
Nearly all of our best home talent will take
part in the entertainment, which is already
an assured success. The sale of tickets has
been very large, and those who desire to at
tend should lose no time in securing seats.
The concert is given for the purpose of as
sisting Mr. Baldwin to complete his musical
education.

Humpty Dumpty, in which he presents three
famqus clowns, a full.dramatic company, and

THE GRAND JURY.
Their Proceedings YesterdayThey Re
port a Batch ot Indictments to the Court.
On assembling, yesterday morning, the
grand jury began to discuss the GLOBE'S ex
posures, and seriously considered the pro
priety of snmmoting the reporter who did
the business, before them, to divulge his se
cret source of accurate information about
their secret proceedings. They were dis
suaded by County Attorney Rogers,
who remarked that the GLOBE
had been sent for before, and it was of no
use. A further discussion was interrupted
by one of the jurors calling for a reconsid
eration of the Hall & Parr and MoFarland
robbery cases. Mr. Hall had additional evi
dence to offer, did offer it, and the jury
the youngsters who stole numerous cigars,
etc., from the above firms, will never know
what the jury did with their cases until they
are brought to face the consequences of their
"irregularity" in court.
At this juncture the grand jury turned out
and proceeded to the court. Arriving there,
Capt. Berkley, foreman, made report of the
bills found, etc., to verify the GLOBE'S re
port given enterprisingly and in advance of
the regular way of doing it.

NEW OASES.

thing for the GLOBE to report. They did so,

Supreme Court Decisions.
The State of Minnesota, respondent, vs. Ja
cob Pfeifer, appellant.
SyllabusThe charter of the city of Rush
ford provides that the city council "shall have
the exclusive right to license persons vending,
dealing in or disposing of spirituous, vinous
or malt liquors, within the limits qf said city,
and persons so licensed shall not be required
to obtain a license from the board of county
commissioners, and shall not be prosecuted for
selling, bartering or disposing of spirituous,
vinous, fermented or malt liquors, without
first having obtained license therefor, agree
ably to the provisions of chapter 16 of the gen
eral statutes.'
The effect of this provision of the charter is
to substitute the city council for the board of
county commissioners as respected the granting
of licenses to sell, etc., the liquors mentioned
within the limits of the city, so that a person
selling there without license from the council,
may be prosecuted for a violation of the ap
propriate city ordinance (if one there be)
or he may be indicted under the
general law found in ch. 16, gen. stat., against
snch indictment, a license from the council is
a defense. As respects the city of Rushford
the right to issue such license is in the city
council exclusively.
