A decrease of over eleven millions iv the public debt during May, is something to be proud of. The people, however, would willilngly consent to see the amount doubled. The Republican party of Minnesota is capable of gnat stupidity, but it is chari table to assume that it is .^capable of anything so supremely absurd as the nomination of J. V. Daniels for Governor. He is an illiterate old ass. The post office officials were shocked at the spelling indulged in by Carmichael in sending his postal card. He alluded to Mahone as "that damm dog." The P. O. gang thought it was doubly damned damned to spell "Cmtnm" with a double m. Because Christopher Columbus An drews wants to go to Mexico, Hans Mat son to Denmark and O. V. Tousley to the Cannibal Islands, the National Republican wants foreign ministerehips and consul ships abolished. Better keep the posi tions to enable us to get rid of such poor white trash. It is sincere!}' to be hoped that Griscom, the fool who" has just commenced a forty-five days' fast at Chicago, will turn his toes up to the daisies long before the comple tion of his self-imposed task. Some such example is necessary to deter the idiots from emulating such examples. If the Minneapolis Tribune would sus pend its Wednesday, Friday and Sunday issues it would be a truly great paper. At least we judge so from the fact that the country papers generally seem to think it a great improvement to have it cut off one issue. Ergo, if these were suspended it would be correspondingly improved. There seems to be a wonderful amount of denying going on relative to a secret conference of Republicans in St. Paul a couple of weeks ago. There is no doubt that a little knot of politicians assembled here and farmed out the ofiices for two years or more ahead. It now remains to be seen whether they have bitten off more than they can chew. Clauk TV. Thompson* is working up the buys on behalf of his candidacy for governor. The colonel has sufficient breadth for tbe chair of the chief execu tive of the State, and tiie fact that he is a particular admirer of Le Due will in duce the friends of the ex-commissioner of agricultnVe to exert themselves in his behalf in the hope that the genial Wil liam G. will receive the position of pri vate secretar}' to bis future excellency. COXKLTAG'S SiIIEyUTU AND POLICY. A member of tbe New York legisla ture, who \9 now voting against the re turn of Uonkling and Platt to the United Slates Senate in obedience to the dicta of his constituents, was asked the secret of Mr. Conkling's confidence in his ulti mate success, and replied: It comes fn m n knowledge that there are thirty or thirty-five members in the legisla ture who, like myself, would be glad to vote lor the return of tiie Senators if wj were to lollow the dictates of our judgment and incli nation, and who will vote that way if it conies to a question of adjournment or the re-election of the two men. We are praying that they may stick until that becomes the issue. It Conkling can hold his men for a few weeks, his eliction aud that of his colleague will be assured. We are classed as administration, but onr hearts are on the other side. That's what makes Conkling (eel strong. The answer is not only a candid but a truthfu] one. Conkling is strong in the knowledge that, liis past course is approved by a vast majority of the people of the State of New York. It is nevertheless a fact that influences have been brought to bear upon the members of the legislature that have r.o place in the politics of the State. The federal administration has exercised its power to t lie utmost to create a public sentiment adverse to Mr. Conk ling and his confrere. Appointments have been make with t lint end in view, and a general endeavor has been made to create the impression that, no matter how great a man Conkling may have been in the past, he has no influ ence with the present administration, and that those who desire political preferment such as the President can give, must look elsewhere than to Conkling for recom mendations. It may be perfectly legitimate for the President or his ministers to use the pub lic patronage for the purpose of punishing au enemy. The Globe will not discuss the question save to remark that it is small business, and that the sooner the parties engaged in it retire, tiie better it will be for their future reputation. There is no question of the fact that Mr. Conkling is by all odds the strongest man in the Republican party in New York. If it shall come to a personal canvass of the btate he will be able to demonstrate his strength in a most em phatic manner. It will be his policy, if it shall appear that an election by the present legislature is impossible, to post pone a choice until such tune as the peo ple may be afforded an opportunity to express their views on the subject. He can then confidently appeal for a vindication of his course, and if it is given he can claim that it comes from the only tribunal com petent to pass final judgment upon the acts of any public man — the source of all power in a republic. If the members of the present legisla ture of New York were permitted to vote according to the dictates of their own consciences,, there is no doubt but they would return both Conkling aud Platt to the Senate. The next legislature of the State, if it shall be Republican, will do so. Of this there is no question. Mr. Conkling must either secure his own re tnru within ten days, or he must have the legislature adjourn without day, and the question relegated to the people. The Ortonville Sortk fiar says the immi grants coming into that section this season seem to be generally provided with good stock, the most substantial thing for success ful farming. AL UOST A MURDER. A Brutal Husband Assails His AVife With a Haniiuer. A terrible assault took place oh East Ninth street, near Cedar, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, which almost resulted in a case of wife-murder. At No. 34 Ninth 6treet, in a one-story frame shanty, reside John Lonzo, a French cobbler, with his wife and two children. Between man and wife there has long existnd an open rupture, mainly due to intemperance, both parties, it is understood, being addicted to drink. To make matters worse the little household has been disturbed by the presence of the green-eyed monster, the husband going so fur as to accuse his wife of infidelity. Tbe quarrel which culminated yesterday commenced last Wednesday, vhen the couple encaged in a dispute, which ended by Lonzo whipping his wife. Being afraid that he would execute lurther threats of violence, Mrs. Lonzo came to the police couit yesterday morning and swore out a warrant for his arrest. He was arrested and brought up at 2 o'clock, at which lime Mrs. Lonzo could not be found. The man, who is young and quite good look ing, seemed to be sober and cried, stating that th it his wife had caused him a great deal of trouble. Hie case was continued until this morning, and on nromising to behave himself Louzo was released on his own recognizance. He repaired tn liis wretched home, and claims that he found another inau in the house with his wife. However this may be, a quarrel ensued, dur ing whtsh Lonzo picked up a hummer from the bench and struck the woman in the fore head, inflicting a terrible wouhJ. She fainted and tell on th* floor, bleeding profusely. Officer Ne>vall wa< called aud Umzo was put under arrest. Dr. Eastman was called in and the injuries of Mrs. Lonzo properly attended to. Her condition is not considered dauger ous. Lonzo will be arraigned today. A GAM a OF FIXS. Which Caused a Little liny to I.o*e His A rim The fate of a little boy named James Heroth, who tried 10 stop a locomotive by laying pins on the track yesterday, should be a sad warn ing to other little boys whose ambition runs in the same direction. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon young H'-roth, whose parents reside near Fort street, adjacent to the round house of the Sioux City railroad, hied him to the railroad track and thought to amuse himself by seeing what effect 11 few pins would have if laid oh the track ahead of a locomotive. About the time little Jimmie had put the pins where he thought they would do the most good, locomotive No. 40, of the Sioux City railroad company, backed down to the round boose, and as the boy wasn't quick enough in leaving the track, it ran over his right arm, horribly mangling it below the elbow. He was taken to the residence jf his parents, where Drs. Abbott and Mattocks were called and took off the arm below the elbow. It is sale to say that poor little Jimmie wiil not hanker for his tavorite amusement again. THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. It in Claimed that Senators and Memben Must lie Chosen at the JVcrf Election. To the Editor of the Globe. The opinion seems to be entertained by many that members of the legislature are not to be elected at the next election, they claiming that the Senators and Representative* last • lecte 1 hold over until the expiration of the pe riod for which they were elected. This opinion is, to my mind, clearly an erroneous one, and, with a view of culling attention to the sub ject, I will brielly state why I thmk so. Section 23 of article 4 of our constitution provides that "the legislature shall provide by law lor an enumeration of the inhabitants of this State in the year one thousand eight hundred aud sixty-five, and every tenth year theieafUr. At 1 heir firft session after each enumeration bo made, and alco at their firc-t session after rsch enumeration made by authority of the United States, the legislature shall have the power to prescribe tbe bounds of Congres sional, Senatorial and Representative districts, and to apportion anew the Senators and Repre sentatives among the several districts, accord ing to the provisions of section second of this article." Section two provides for the number ■ >f Senators and Representatives upon the basis of population. Her.-, then, is ample authority for the legis lature t<>, at their hist seifion, pass a law to "apportion anew the Senators and Representa tive?;" which they did, by reapporttoninz th<- State into new and diflerent Senatorial and Representative districts. Now, section one 01 the reapportionment act, of last winter declare*, "that fur the next legislature, and thereafter until a new apportionment shall have been made, the Senate shall be composed of forty-seven members, and the Hou.se of Rep lei-cntatives shall be composed of one hun dred and three members." Section two desig nates und specifies the several districts. Stc tion four declares that "all acts and parts of acts Inconsistent with this act are hereby re pealed." (which certainly rej>eals the law un der which the members of the lust legislature were elected;) and section live provides that it shall "take effect and be in force from and af ter its passage " It was approved March 4th, 1881. From all this it is manifest that the mem bers of Hit' last legislature have, by ample con stitutional authority, been legislated out ol office; and that until an election of mem bt rs is had, we have no lecislature to meet. 1 apprehend that the opiniou to the contrary of this vie>v bus its foundation in the peculiar language employed in the amendment of bcvtion 24 of article t of the constitution, und what, is generally known as "the biennial aesalon amendment," a portion of which is as follows: . "Representatives chosen at such election (the election of 1878) or at any election there after, shall hold their officer for the term ol two years, except it be to till a vacancy, and the Senators chosen at such election by dis tricts designated by odd numbers, shall go out of olfiee at the expiration of the second year, and Senator! chosen by districts designated by even numbers shall go out of office at the ex piration of the fourth year; and thereafter Senators shall lie. chosen tor four years." But persons holding this opinion must over look the following concluding clause to tnis section, to-wit: "Except [ihiil] there sh:ill be an entire new election of all the Senators at the election of Representatives next succeeding each new apportionment provided for in this article." The language of this "biennial session amendment" is (to put it mildly) not happily chosen; but there is no question that, in pass ing it, the legislature (as well as the people who voted for it) intended that a new election of Senators and Representatives should take place after each new apportionment. In this, as in all similar cases, the true rule and test, of construct ioni-: What was the manifest inten tion of the Iramers of the law? Applying t'ais test there can be no doubt, in the mind of anyone, that members of the Senate and Housi of Representatives are to be elected at the next election. In fact. lam surprised that a con trary opinion should be entertained. * Hazel Hill Cottage, May 28, 1551. A ?lan Who Endorses Oarfietd and Con donus Conk liny. To the Editor of the Globe. Shakopee, May 31.— 1n your last week's issue I noticed an article from De Witt C. Cooley, entitled "The Parrot-headed Peda gogue of Mentor," in which the writer, in a series of hi^'h sounding words, attempts to characterize President Gartiela as little better than a school master in point of admmistra tivejudgment,and a convicted felon in point of Integrity. This feverish invective against President Garfleid, by a lackey of Roscoe's, is quite ex cusable, but to persons having the well fa re of the nation at heart, 'tis a thiug to be set down as. a direct onslaught against the Presi dent. President Uartield was uut exercising a just function of his office when he appointed Robertson to the collectorship, and having nude the appointment, it would be the ver\ soul of cowardice for him to withdraw if be aiu.-e forsooth it did not happen to meet the approval of the dictatorial Conkling. The action of the President in this instance is deserving of praise, and every true citizen ol the United' States should endorse it, as calcu lated to teach men of Conkling's. stamp that the man who controls the udder of the cow is ten times as great as he who holds the tail Conkling held the tail, yet his pugnacity made him outstep the legal circle of his jurisdiction and command the man at the udder to pull so that he would be able to take a whiff. This request being denied him, in a fit of frenzy, he lets go of the tail, thinking that 'tis he who holds the nation's equnaninity, and that on his letting go, everything "will become one conglomeration of confusion, and that to restore things to their former estate of bliss, the people will get up a petition to have him once more assume control of the nation. 'Tis time that arrogant men be apprised that the fate ef the country does not hang on their particular shoulders, and that any attempt on their part to coerce the President is inimical to the administration. But Conkling's eumity to the President did not originate in the dispute of the collector ship, 'Us of ■ much older date, germinating, probably, about the time of the Chicago con vention, and then nursed as a house plant until a plausable opportunity, when he reveals the real color of his feeling, "by claiming that the President was committing an unpardona ble fault in appointing a man to a position of, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1881. trust, because ho happens to be at loger heads with him. Now, this is all moonshlm for Conkling. He was directly opposed to Garfleld from the begiuning. He took a fit of sulks immediate ly ufter the Chicago eonventlon, and like the dog that had a sore tail, would wag neither one way or the other, and it was only when he saw things were progressing smoothly with out him that he condescended to take part in the campaign. For this reluctant support he would have the President bow to his dic tates. * A truce to such a man and all honor to the President for his manly conduct. J as. LOKOAN. Those Six Barrels of Fork. To the Editor of the Globe. It is reported thnt a man who was fishing in the Minnesota river during the late flood caught six barrels of salt pork. This item, clipped from your paper of yes terday, is no doubt true. In June, 1562, I think, Capt. Bell of this city attempted to con vey by boat to me at Camp Pope a cargo of commissary stores, destined for Gen. Sibley'6 Indian expedition, among which were many barrels of pork. While on the Minnesota river a fire broke out on his boat, and in order to save the vessel he thrsw overboard six bar rels of salt pork, which correspond to the number of barrels referred to in the above item. I called a board of survey and my loss was made good, but a year or two afterwards some heathen cuss set in circulation the report that Cupt. Bell aud myself had fished out this pork and appropriated it to our own uses. I only wish now we had done so, but we didn't, and* so the old maxim that "murder will out," has proven true. After having been in the river nineteen years, I am quite anxi«us to know the condition of that salt pork, provided it is the same that Capt. Bell threw overboard, as I suppose it is. If it is not the same, then somebody can make money by hunting up that lost pork, for Capt. Bell and myself have long since relinquished our right and title to it. Yours, etc., T. M. Newson.

A dusky maiden made complaint to Attor ney March on Wednesday against a lately mar ried man doing business on Main street, which if prosecuted will make it interesting for the boys to hear. Tim. Clfford, John Burke and Tom McDon ald, were run into the cooler for being drunk. Clifford and Burke went down into the bull pen for eight days each, and McDonald was giren leave to skip out. A car went off the track Wednesday even ing while they were backing a load of slabs over the scales at the Florence mill. The scale was not done at the time, and a tempo rary track was laid across to run two cars of wood to the engine-room. The bodies of Opsahl ana Jacobi were brought to this city, and yesterday morning they were taken in charge" by their friend*, and conveyed to the cemetery. Jacobi was a member of the Sons of Hermann, and his body was taken inchargejby that order. Both" processions moved off at the same time. John Hurley, a man well known in the city, was drowned last night near Hersey, Bean <V Brown's mill. Hurley was in the habit ol drinking, and it is evident that he was drunk at the lime he was drowned. The watchman at the mill, Mr. Jame6 Davis, heard a man walking around the stable, which is situated back of the mill, and on the lake. Mr. Davis heard the man stumble as if he had hit his foot against something, and immediately he heard a splash in the water. He ran out and got a ladder and reached it down to the man, •vhich he grasped. Mr. Davis told him to hold on to it until he could get a lantern and seme help. He then called to a man who was sleeping in the stable to help him. The man cot up, but when they got there with the lan tern Hurley had let go of the ladder and sunk. At§ the time that he went in it was about, half-past nine. The coroner was called thi* morning but did nottnink it necessary to hold an inquest, as it was evident that Hurley wa? drunk at the time, and in going around the stable he struck his foot against a piece of timber and went head first into the lake, strik ing his head on a boom log, as shown by the cut on his head. Hurley has a cousin at Baytown who was notified of the death, and immediate ly came up an^ took the remains in charge. Failnre of a Mail Contract Firm.

Arnot, St. Louis, president, with headquarters in this city, which has been engaged in the mail contract business for forty-six years past aud which has at different times held large contracts in every State and territory. This failure is attributed by Arnot to be the recent curtailment of the contract service, and other changes which h>>ye been made in cii rying the mails the past-few" years. The Bass' Candidate.

II is Revelations Upon a Subject of Vital Interest to All. [Detroit Free Press.] The experience of any one of education and learning extending over a long period of time must necessarily be valuable, and while no two experiences in this world are alike, there U such a siuiilurity between them as to render one which is rich in valuable facts of benefit to all. America '« greatest orator declared that he knew of no way of judging the future but by the pMt; and past personal experience is of the same nature as that history which repeats itself. A representative of this paper while loung ing in the lobby of a prominent New York hotel, met a gentleman whom he had known years before in the city of Detroit, but whom he had not feen before for a number of years. When the knight of the quill had lust seen this gentleman, he was givin-g.liis entire time and attention to an extensive medical practice, and was on the crest of the wave of populari ty. From Detroit he went to New York, where he could find a more extensive fli-M for his talenls and experience. Although several ysars had passed, the doctor's physical condi tion tad evidently very much improved, for he was looking much better than when the man of news had last seen him. After some general talk, the doctor fell into an easy train of conversation, and uttered some truths 60 scientific and valuable, as to justify their re production in print. "Yes," said the doctor, "I have improved in health since you list saw me, and I hope also in many other ways. One thing, however, I have succeeded in doing, and it is one of the hardest things for any one, and especially a doctor, to do, and that is, I have overcome my prejudices,. You know there are some people who prefer to remain in the wrong rather than acknowledge the manifest right Such prejudice leads to bigotry of the worst order, and of precisely the same nature as characterized the sixteenth century, when people were burned at the stake. Now I am a phjMCian, and of the 'old school' order too; but I have, after years of experience and ob servation, come to the conclusion that truth is the highest of all things, and that if prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of truth, so much the worse for them — they are certain to be crushed sooner or later. Why, when I knew you in Detroit, I wouid have no sooner thought of violating the cosle of ethics laid down by the profession, or of prescribing anything out of the regular order, than I would of ampu tating my hand. Now, however, I prescribe and advise those things which I believe adapt ed to cure, and which my experience has prov* en to be such." "This is rather an unusual way for a physi cian to talk, is it not, doctor?" "Certainly it is. It is way outside of our code of ethics, but I have grown far beyond the code. I h.ive all I can attend to, and am determined to be honest with my patients and mankind, whether my brother physicians are with me or not. Why, I prescribe medicine* every day, some of them so-called patent medicines, which would render me liable to expulsion from the medical fraternity, but I am supremely indifferent to their laws." "Are the medical fraternity of tl>e country combined against proprietary medicines, doc tor?" "In variably,and it is sufficient ground for ex pulsion from any medical society in the land to prescribe any patent medicine whatever, no matter if it is made from an exact formula, such as physicians are using every day. You see the code is established and sustained by old physicians like myself, who make the rules and insist upon their enforcement in order to keep the younger ducliira From obtaining :i foothold and encroaching upon the already established practice of the elder ones. This is largely the reason why young physicians have such a hard time of it; they are fettered by the code, and have only their personal in fluence to depend upon in seeming practice." "How did you come to get such heretica ideas as these, doctor?" "Oh, they are the result of my experience and observations. I obtained my first ideas upon the subject, however, from having been cured after all my care and the skill of my professional brethren had failed to relieve me. Why, I was so badly off with a complication of troubles, including dyspepsia, and conse quently imperfect kidneys and liver, that I feared I should have to give up my practice. For more than a month I could not sit down or get up without the most intense agony, and I was suffering ail the while. Some one advised me to no out of the regular chan nels and try a remedy that was becoming quit* famous for the remarkable cures it was effect ing; but my prejudice !»as altogether too strong for that. However, I did quietly begin trying the remedy, but I promise you I said nothing to my brother pny.MeiansCor even to my family about it. Well, sir, it was a ■ revel ation to me; for in all my medical c xpenence I never f-aw anything operate so rapidly or so effectually as that did. I owe my health to day, and for all I know, my life" also— to the remedy known as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. That was the starting point wilh me, and my prejudices faded very rapidly after that, I can assure you. I went to reading ex tensively and nnulizing more extensively, and I suppose I analyzed all the leading proprie tary . medicines that are made. Many of them "■ I found "." per fectly useless, being compounded simply of water with a little flavoring. A vast ma jority of them all, however, I found made up of prescriptions used by physicians in their every day practice; but out of the entire number I found only two that contained abso lutely harmful ingredients and then in very slight quantities. Indeed we are prescribing things constantly that have more deleterious matter in thin they had. After discovering this, 1 said to myself: why should the medical fraternity be prejudiced against those pre senptions which they are writing every day, simply because they are put up by wholesale and are sold with a government stamp on the wrapper. I saw its inanifestnbsurdity'andre solved that I would he bound by it no longer. Since that time I have prescribed proprietary remedies nearly every day, in my practice, and I hare no reason to regret having done so. Why, only a few days ago I advised a lady who was suffering from a serious female' difficulty and displacement to use this same Safe Kidney °*nd Liver Cure which cured me. I saw her this morning and she is nearly ,well; the pain and inflammation are all gone and she is around as usual. We have no right in th* medical fraternity to sit back and declare there is no such ; thing as improve ment or advancement, or that we; have a monopoly of the remedies which nature ha given to mankind. There are " gieat change? going on in every department of life, and there are great developments in medicine as ■well. Thousands of people die every year from supposed typhoid fever, rheumatism 01 other complaints, when in reality it is from trichina, and the result of eating poorly cooked <nd diseased pork. A vast majority of all dis safes arise from imperfect kidneys or liver. The liver becomes clogged, and its work i. .thrown upon the kidneys; they become over worked and break down, and so th 3 poison ■.gets into the blood - instead of being thrown from the system. No one with perfect kid neys or liver is ever troubled with malaria, md it is the poisonous particles which these tiseased organs allow to get into the b'oed, that clog the capillaries of the lung* and cause tubercles and consumption. Thousands of children are dying every year foni dropsy, as the sequel . to scarlatina* when in 'reality it is diseased kidneys which 4 have become weakened by the fever they hive just had. Here is another strange thing: not one in ten people who have diseased kidneys notice any pain in the vicinity oorf r the kidneys, for tbe-e organs lose their nervous sensibilities when they become diseased, and the symptoms are shown in hundreds of other ways." "Well, doctor, you have got some new truths here, certainly, but they sound very reasonable to me. " • ■ ■. , ■ "Well, whether they are reasonable or not, I have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that they are true, an! I propose to stand by them, no matter how much opposition I may raise by doing so.- Any man, be he politician, preacher or physician, who is so considerate of his pock et book or , of his own personal ends as to stultify himself by suppressing ;he manifest truth, is unworthy the name of mm, and unworthy the confidence of the public wboaheservw."-—- ----- • .

CHRISTIANCY DIVORCE. The Aged Mother of Defendant on the Vt Hllf-K SIHIIII. Washington, May 31.— Mrs. Laugenbiel, mother of Mrs. Chnstiancy, was before Ex aminer Lovejoy to-day, and her cross-exami nation in the divorce euit of ex-Senator Chris tiancy against his wife, was continued for an hour and a half. The efforts of the attorney were confined chiefly to testing the rumors of witnesses in regmd to certain occurrences to which she testified most positively in her di rect examination. The only new facta brought out were that Giro called at her house in July, 1880, aiid leff some valuable j°welry in their care. Mrs. Christianey was present with witness at the interview about taking charge of the jew elry. After a long conversation she finally consented to accept the trust. Not a great while after this Mrs. Laugnbiel and Mn>. Christianey made a visit to New York for the benefit of »he latter's health ar.d stopped at a resort on Long Island sound,wberethey remained some time. While in New York the jewelry was returned to Dr. Blood, whom Giro had toM them was his agent. They received one visit from Dr. Blood while stopping on Loni; Island. Mm. Laugnbitl was unable to give the name of the place where they visited, or of the persona they met. Her reasons for being able to give details of theoccurrance at her home in Christmas, 1879, she thought ought to be satisfactory. It was a day set apart for the family reunion. It was talked of beforehand, and arrangements were made for social enjoyment of participants. After it was passed it was repeatedly referred to and spoken of sdtftat the doings on that day be came strongly impressed upon her memory. This closed the proceedings for the day. Yisting the east side of upper New York a few days ago. the writer of this called at Mr. George Ringler's Beer Brewery, on Ninety-second street. In conversation Mr. Ringler mentioued the following facts: Some months since I had an aggravated attack of rheumatism. The malady settled in my left foot and totally incapacitated me for business. The pain was so great that I was compelled to keep my room, and I suffered untold tortures, being unable io press my foot to the floor for a long time. A friend told me of St. Jacob's Oil. I secured a bottle oue day and applied it according to directions. So marvelously rapid was the relief that I was able to walk down to business next day, and have not suffered an hour with rheumatism since. MINNEAPOLIS NEWS MINNEAPOLIS GLOBKI.KTS.
