PAUL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11. 1883. It is stated that Ohio is growing very uneasy on her back seat. The debt of Great Britain is just twice the siz9 of that of the United States. The winter wheat out look in Ohio is reported to be poorer than it has been in the eight years preceding.

No water supply and no engines left a square burned over in the town of Westminster, yesterday morning. The improvement in general business boomed the eastern stock market to the most satisfactory point reached thus far in the year. Those who are interested in Minneapolis literature will find a handsome dose in Mayor Ames the city council yesterday. Pbesident Abthck says he hopes to hook that Florida fish that swallowed Senator Beck's gold-rimmed eye-glasses, daring a recent visit there. Tyro pjer-gbr Hubbell, who is in California, has caused the information to be disseminated that he has retired from politics forever.

Let us weep. The Tombstone folks are organizing a company of Rangers and it looks as though they were going to tako the Indian question in hand for private solution. Mbs. Habkiex Lane Johnson, the niece of President Buchanan, who graced the White house during her uncle's administration, has just been bereaved of her only surviving child. The Marshes, of Tewksbury, stole caskets that relatives provided for their pauper friends and buried them in cheap boxes instead, and more than that, failed to put remains in the latter.

A good deal of din is being made over a very little mite of fact relative to any thing belonging to the British government which is left out doors and could by any possibility be hoisted with a petard. The city of Rochester came in for its fearful excitement yesterday morning by the caving in of an insecure wall of a large building in course of construction, and consequent loss of life and injury to limb. Going away from home to hear the news is illustrated by the following item in Monday's Chimeo Tribune: Sabin, of Minnesota, believing that his duties at Washington will occupy all Inflame, op his larga and profitable business at Stillwater. A GKKAi-GiiVNDSON of Daniel Boone, the famous Kentucky pioneer, is a parcel boy for a Broadway, New York, firm, at the salary of per week. The old veteran would have scorned such an estate in life, but young Mr.

Boone is just that kind o' sorter man. old Mr. Boone was not. There is a scare of some kind up at Ottawa about the safety of the Houses of Parliament and Ridean Hall. The matter has gone so Ear that Toronto detectives have been imported thither and the return of the Princess Louise from Bermuda has been delayed.

The copious rains which have made the grain crops of California secure for a foil harvest has had a cheerful iniiuence upon the prospects of reviving trade. From all parts of the country there come healthy indications, and confidence is daily assuming very satisfactory proportions. The flaming resolutions of the Minneapolis city council, commending the "park system," not so enthusiastically adopted as might be supposed from readirg the papers. There ware exactly two affirmative votes, and there being no negative vote, it was declared carried. That was a boom by indirection.

As a pointer in the direction of the desired revival of trade, was the sale one day last week at the postofuce department, of $700,000 worth of postage stamps, postal cards and stamped enyelopes, this amount being in excess of the orders before received in one day. Thi3 sale in detail was as follows: Number of stamps 28,000,000, postal cards 2,100,000, stamped envelopes 1,000,000. This will be a great country yet. That whiter, the persistent rascal, still lingers in fie lap of spring, was made notably apparent by the fierce sleety, snow storm yesterday afternoon, which rendered the street car tracks impassable, cut short social pursuits and produced a disinclination to the usual activities of business. The brief storm was as bitter and penetrating as any of the season.

Sunshine always succeeds the storm, and the chilling blast will speedily be forgotten. The Tewksbury alms house investigation proves that the visits of the charity and insane commissioners to state institutions are always got wind of by those having these institutions in charge, and that they slick up as nice as a pin to receive them. The way to find out just how things are going on in these institutions is to make unofficially announced descents and then the real condition of things cannot bo hidden. The Florida legislature has granted a charter to a ship canal company, and allowed then to take a strip of land from the state a quarter of a mile in width, from the Atlantic to the Calf, and half a mile wide at passing stations. The canal is to be 100 feet wide at the water line and twenty feet deep and the capital is to be from $40,000,000 to £00.000.000, and to be furnished by private enterprise.

Its length will be IGO miles, 110 of which it is claimed can be followed through natural water ways. The eastern entrance would be at Fernandina and the western through the Suwanee river, and the canal will be a tide water one, without locks. The minor postmasters, under the new two-cent postage act, are in quite a perplexity. In the New England and Middle one postoffice in three, on the average, sells stamps enough to produce revenue, that is, the pale of stamps exceeds compensation of the postmasters; in the Western states one office in four produces revenue, and in the Southern 6tates, one in eight. Under the present law in the offices where the sale of stamps does not exceed $200 the postmaster retains sixty per cent, of the stamps canceled.

Of course, under the two-cent letter postage provision, the compensation at the same percentage, would be greatly reduced, and to avoid this the new law which goes into effect October Ist, contains the provision that in all cases where the sale of stamps doe 3 not exceed $200 per annum, the postmaster may retain 100 per cent, of the value of the stamps canceled, thus absorbing the entire income of that class of offices, from which at present 40 per cent, goes into revenue for the maintenance of the postal service. The sixth auditor of the postoffico department says that the 100 per cent, commission cuts off the entire revenue from fully 75per cent, of the postofnees of the country. It is now believed that the deficiency will be much greater for some time, a few years it may be, than was estimated when the law was framed and passed. It is impossible at present to put any dependence upon the increase of letter mail matter under the cheaper postage, though it is likely to be considerable. Senatob Camkbox is seriously contemplating withdrawal from public life, which he entered about seven years ago.

Prior to that time it was his settled purpose never to accept public office, but he was induced to enter Grant's cabinet, and since then has been so absorbed by public affairs that his private fortune has suffered to tha amount of $500,000. This has arisen from large expenditures rendered necessary to retain political power, and from the necessaiy neglect of his private business interests. While other men, like Sherman, Blame, Windom, in the same period that Cameron sunk half a million, have each gained wealth to that amount or more, the name of the Pennsylvania senator has not been associated with any of the scandals which have smirched the men who have risen from penury to riches in politics. Mr. Cameron has not been a representative of the best element of American political life, and his influence has been given to the dynasty of fashion.

Still he stands in for better esteem than nearly all his contemporaries. He has been a leader in the spoils system, using it a3 the open sesame to power, though he has been careful not to garner to himself any other gain. He has not departed from he line of political education he imbibed trom hi 3 yooth up, and if by reason of broken health he has begun to realize that the political life he has led has brought him neither great honor or enabled him to retain a certain assurance of continued power or been of benefit to the country, he i 3 wise to renounce the hollow sceptre, which has cost himease.health and fortune. Never a statesman, the only loss his retirement will entail will be to machine politica, and that will be a gain to the country. BKW.

MITCHELL'S J'OLITICAL VIEWS. United States Senator John I. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, on his way to Dakota on private business, was interviewed on Sunday by a Chicago reporter at the Palmer House. He spoke freely of tho political situation, giving credit to the independant Republicans in Pennsylvania for the passage of tho civil service reform bill proposed by Senator Pendleton, averring that the passage of that bill will heal the discords among the Republicans in that state. The mission of the independents he stated to be the abolition of machine rule, tho dictation of party bosses and the tendency to aristocracy that had grown stronger in Pennsylvania, than in most pother Parties must heed the will of the people and civil service reform is in response to it.

Questioned as to tho future prospects of the Republican party be remarked. "I have no hesitancy in saying that at the next presidential election it will win if a wise nomination is made. The Republican party is one of progress. The main ip.v.ie in the next campaign will be tiie tariff question. On that the Republican party is sound.

The policy of protection will prevail in this country. If the Democralic party comes out for free trade, it will put the Republicans in power beyond a doubt. Every Republican has only to hope that tho Democrats may stand squarely on a free trade platform. Ido not believe that the West, even the agricultural portion of it, favors free trade. If the manufacturing indus tries are paralyzed or affec' way whatsoever, the producing raffer.

When the agricultural i stand this, I do not believe tb a free trade policy. The reduc I the duty on iron and steel has had a dis uous effect. I have no idea that tho rolling mills of this country can compete with England in the sale of these productions, and it is as certain as can be that coagress will be called upon again in the near future to reconsider the work of last session in this respect." The gentleman regarded prohibition as a matter for state regulation, and he does not believe that the Republican party will make that subject an issue. The time ha 3 not yet come for a great national party to make temperance an issue, or to take it up. The senator spoke favorably of Logan aa a presidential candidate, with the qualification that at this early day presidential candidates are not fixed upon, and whatever is said is mere speculation.

Senator Mitchell performed an aggressive work in beating down Cameronism in his state, and aided by the strength of a public opinion that is not bounded by state he and the many in sympathy with his attitude cemented the civil service reform sentiment to such a point that the passage of the Pendleton bill was possible. But, notwithstanding his independent views and action on that subject, the senator seems bounded by one-ideaism, and takes a superficial view of the many things that are subjects of thonght among the people. He lacks comprehensiveness in his remark that the policy of protection will prevail in this country. Neither aggrandising protection nor perilous free THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 11,1883. trade will prevail, but the golden mean II tween the two, that on the one hand will I not tolerate the giant oppression of mo- 1 nopolists, or take from the treasury the legitimate sources of revenue for the maintenance of the Republican form of government.

If the Republican party adopts the plank of protection as enunciated by Mr. Mitchell, that alone will defeat it, a3 surely as the theory of free-trade which he wrongly attributes as the Deinoocratic idea will submerge that party. Mr. Mitchell is quite right in saying that it is too early to pronounce ia favor of fixed candidates, most certainly in favor of Senator Logan. Nothing would more thoroughly delight the opposition to the Republican party than to see a man of the cast of Logan become its standard bearer.

That distinguished politician is a representative of the class who have had the hearty opposition of Mr. Mitchell's public life, and he shoald not havo permitted senatorial courtesy to put him in the attitude of misleading a3 to his real judgment of tho fitness of the man to represent the advanced ideas upon the questions of the day that will enter into the presidential contest. If men who have enjoyed the rank of being sincerely independent so readily and easily fall into line with the old machine, there is little, we may say nothing, to be hoped for from the Republican party. It is joined to its idols, and the spoilsmen and bosses will dominate it as of yore. Mr.

Mitchell should considerably revise his political code, and forever have the courage of his convictions, and above all things endow himself with consistency. The other day Nilsson hysterically inquired of a New York reporter what Mapleson wanted of her? The interrogatory was provoked by an opinion Mapleeon given expression to, that Christine was none of the best as an artiste. Tho reporter acknowledged his inability to answer the conundrum and referred the Kubjectmatter of the inquiry to its author, whereupon the impetuous songstress denounced the English impresario as a colonel without a command, a soldier without scare, a manager without wit, and a man witlvout hair on the top of his head, the absence of which 6he proceeded to explain, caused by the course of life the director of Coveut Garden had led from his youth up. With this knowledge in her post esuion is it not rather difficult to explain why the Swedish nightingale propounded the interrogatory above quoted to a reporter? IMSKSOA'AL. Dr.

RAILROAD RUMBLING. The Storm Along the of Kates to Bozeman by the Northern and Incidental. The storm yesterday began almost too late to affect travel on the railroads to any appreciable extent. So far as could be leerned it raged with a violence almest unprecedented during the past winter on all roads within a considerable radius of and leading to St. Paul.

Along the line of the Northern Pacific its effects were apparent last night in the detention of the Fargo express, which was two hours late. On the Manitoba road the Fergus Falls train, due at p. did not reach here until 7:40, being nearly one hour and a half late, and the train on the Hastings Dakota division of tho Milwaukee St. Paul road was two hours late. Some doubt was expressed late in the afternoon as the expediency of sending out the evening trains, as the storm was generally distributed about the sections through which they passed, and apprehension existed a3 to the possibility of their getting through.

Inquiry in railroad circles, however, dissipated all rumors in that direction, and trains left here on regular schedule time. The trains due here in the afternoon arrived to the minute when due, there having been no delay in transit. Conductors reported rain in the eastern portion of the route, snow not being encountered until the major part of Wisconsin had been passed over. There it snowed violently, the storm being accompanied by high winds and the snow drifting badly. At Cumberland on the Omaha line the snow had reached a depth of twenty-one and in some places on the Northern division of the St.

Paul Duluth road to a depth of three feet. Trains were reported as moving steadily forward at a slow rate of speed, and necessarily losing some time. The managers of roads regretted having abandoned the snow plows, which had been laid by in anticipation of no further use for their services, and unless the storm yields this morning, they will doubtless be again summoned to active service. The storm is conceded to be one of the worst of the season, the more damaging in its effects bocau 01 the fact that it was unexpected and therefore unprepared for. UlisceUatteous Xoteti.

Two or three passenger coaches are now running regularly over the Fargo Southwestern road, and every train is crowded with emigrants en route to the fertile fields of Ransom county.

A party of fifty-three emigrants from Manitoba, bound for British Columbia, I passed through the city yesterday. They came by the Manitoba line, and proceeded west via Omaha and the Union Pacific road. W. H. Smith, a prominent railroad constructor, partner in the firm of Barney, Smith of Dayton, 0., and residen of the Western Car company, of Columbust 0., died at Urbana, 111, on Saturday aged sixty-four years.

A. displaced rail was discovered on the Northwestern road in the cut near the La Crosae cemetery and yesterday morning's train was delayed a short time. It looked as though there had been mischief going on, but this could not be told for certain. The Northern Pacific Uain due in this city at 7:40 yesterday morning was six hours late, the delay being caused by a disabled freight train on the Manitoba road, which obstructed tho joint track east of Sank Rapids. The Fergus Falls train on the Manitoba line was also behind time; both trains came in by the Osseo branch.

The earnings of the St. Paul Manitoba Railroad company for the last six months of 1832 were $4,576,467.18, against for the first six months of that year, showing an increase of $1,225,415.42. The state tax for the last six months of 1882 was $136,309.15 against $100,531.55 for the first six months, showing an increase of $35,777.60. The now tariff of freight rates hence to Bozoman, M. on the Northern Pacific, which will go into effect next Monday, has been determined! as follows: First class, $3 per second class, third class, fourth class, $1.75, 'and fifth class $1.70.

Class will be carried for $1.50 per hundred weight; clas3 for class for $1.25, and class for $1. Emigrants' moveables, $150 per car. These are a material reduction over those in force over the Union as the road is extended to Helena the same rates will be observed to new stations en route, as also to Helena when the line reaches that point. Mr. S.

F. Pierson has after all accepted the position as assistant commissioner of passenger department of the joint executive committee. It is stated that his salary will be $5,000 a year. This is rather a small salary for a man of Mr. Pierson's and there are many railroad officials who think he has made a mistake in accepting the place.

His position is subordinate to Commissioner Fink, and he can take no action without consulting that officer. Bat besides this it is by no means certain that the Eastern passenger pool west of the trunk lines can ever be carried into effect, all efforts thus far made to pool the business having proved ineffectual. So Opened, Boston, April Transcript says: No negotiations have been opened to secure the Kansas City, Fort Scott Gulf road for the Southwestern system. Understanding Arrived At. London, April negotiations between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways have mad 3 farther progress to-day.

It is understood an ajrrecmaiit is practically settled which will end the rivalry between th. two companies. The following is a Imp nnca which an under- standing was arrived at: Tiio Grand Trunk iec3gnize3 the right of tho Canadian Pa-' cific to a monopoly of all the traffic to and from the Northwest. The Canadian Pacific will abstain from invadicg the territory of the Grand Trunk, and both lines will interchange all traffic possible in a manner mutually convenient to the interests of the respective lines) If the construction of the Ontario Quebec railway should not be proceeded with, which, in the light of this agreement, may not be probable, equal facilities for both companies will be provided by duplication of existing lines, or constructing loop lines. The Old Hoard Elected.

Pittsbubg, April annual meeting of the Allegheny Valley railroad was held to-day and the old board of directors was elected. The president's report showed earnings amounting to $2,356,700 and expenses $1,427,500, leaving net earnings of $929,000. Ratified the Lease. St Louis, April stockholders of the Iron Mountain Wabash roads held their adjourned meeting this noon and ratified the action of the directors in New York a few days ago respecting the lease of the abash to the Iron Mountain.

New locomotives, cars, have been purchased at a cost of $209,735. The treasurer's statement shows the assets of the company at $4,326,929, and liabilities $623,941. Wh iskij Export to the Bermudas. Louisville, April 9. with Canada, for the admission of whisky in American packages having failed, the Louisville Nashville Great Southern Railroad company is making arrangements to put on a line of vessels from Pensacola to Bermuda, so that it can transport whisky via Pensacola to Louisville at a minimum of cost.

Facilities for the transaction of the export business at Pensacola are the very best, and it is believed that so many of the charges that attach to export shipments via New York can be saved, that nearly all the export movement of whisky will be via Pensacola. It is even calculated that the cost of exporting and reimporting whisky via Pensacola may be reduced below the expected if shipped to Canada, and when the owners estimate the importance to attach to whiskies from their long voyage through an almost tropical climate, it may prove a fortunate circumstance that the Canadian negotiations failed.

Caught in the Act. The inclemency of the season last night found Thomas Denver without the necessary clothing to protect him from the icy blasts. He therefore supplied his deficiency of wardrobe by lifting a benjamin, to which a guest of the Minnesota home claimed ownership. Officer Lowell observed Thomas disappearing down First street in a manner so different from that pursued by honest men, that he gave chase, which resulted in his capture and lodgment in the calaboose. Unless his plea this morning shall prove more convincing to the judiciary than it now appears, Denver will pay a fine or engage in a contest with bed bugs for the possession of accommodations in the county jail, and that too for an indefinite period.

The list of distinguished arrivals in St. Paul yesterday included the name of "Doc" Baggs. He is one of the slickest operators of confidence games in the United States, and is said to never turn a corner without taking a trick.

He came originally from Colorado, recently from Chicago and immediately from Minneapolis and Brainerd. In the latter city he has been employed in deluding unsophisticated speculators in real estate, and is supposed to have accomplished his usual success. "Doc" Baggs, under which professional nomenclature he is known to police circles in all parts the country, is reputed to be keen as a briar in the practice of his art, successful in every venture he has undertaken, and fortunate in the possession of capacities that enable him to take advantage of the law's delay, when men not similarly constituted would aid in the proc irement of their own conviction by honest confession. During last summer he decoyed a gentleman named Otero into his parlor in Denver, and "done" him out of a check for a large amount drawn on the First National bank of that city. His victim was a prominent citizen of New Mexico, who had served as a representative in congress, and possessed of untold wealth obtained from the sales of cattle which ranged all over tti9 territory, and from mines the outpour of which daily, was a fortune of more than limited dimensions.

Senor Otero, upon realizing the transaction into which he had been drawn, expressed his willingness to pay the scot and drop the matter as tha best way to avoid the ridicule to which he would be subject if the faots were published. Kds son, however, to whom this statement was presented, refused to compromise the case, and accompanied by a detective waited at the bank to arrest whomsoever should demand payment of the paper. The latter was presented by a friend of Baggs, who was taken into custody, and upon furnishing the name of the party from whom he obtained the check, Baggs was apprehended and locked up. Hi 3 release on bail was obtained, but the sheriff of Arapahoe county placed a deputy named Auspitz upon his track to prevent Baggs from pursuing his trade, and it had the desired effect. Every place that Bagg3 went the sheriffs lamb was sure to go, and if he endeavored to "work a sucker" or impose upou the credulity of a stranger, Auspitz was near by to warn the prospective victim.

The result of this maneuvering was to render Larimer street, Denver, passably safefor strangers, and Baggs' business unprofitable. The latter finally settled the Otero claim, in the hope that the Vidocq constantly on his track would be called off. In this he was disappointed, and finally after vain applications to the sheriff to "let him alone," Baggs left the city. Accompanied by a pair of assistants he proceeded to Omaha, and endeavored to secure an audience with willing victims. He succeeded in a small way before the police were apprised of his presence, and was making arrangements to work the state fair, when he was warned to leave the bailiwick under penalty of arrest.

He avoided the penalty by complying with the demand of the constabulary and made his way to Minneapolis, arriving there last September. He succeeded in his game of chance in that city, making a good round sum, it is said, and having covered the field completely, disappeared, to coma to the surfaco soon after in Chicago, where ho made his headquarters at "The Store," taking a trick every day, and eventually becoming so pestiferous a customer to the authorities that he was compelled to levant to other scenes. He has latterly been operating in Minneapolis again, and Brainerd, but having harvested these fields, turns up in St. Paul for purposes best known to himself and his victims, if the latter are persuaded to speak, each for himselft Sale of the Livery Business of the Late Wm.A.

Witness had had nothing to do with whisky for fifteen month? before his indictment, except to taks an occasional drink. It was probable that Reerdel had been directed by S. W. Dorsey to assist witness in preparing bids.

He would have been foolish if he had done any such thing, although an assistant counsel had requested him to do so.

Witness said another affidavit had been filled in by Reerdel. Are you familiar Tvith his handwriting? inquired Merrick. Witness do not know that I am familiar with it, sarcastically, "he had several hands." The papers were produced, but witness recollected nothing about them, and could only identify the handwriting.
