Total 88,381,655,380Here is a difference with a vengeance. It

willnot answer to charge this increased costof running the government to war expenses.There are but two accounts that can beproperly said to belong to that category—interest on the public debt and pensions,which both amount to only-about a hundred millions annually.The remainder must be chargedto extravagance or —probably alittle of eaoh. The effiae holders have in-creased in the past nineteen years from lessthan twenty thousand to more than ahundred thousand, and their compensationhas increased proportionately. It costs forcollecting the revenue over ten millions ayear. For the poor apology for a navy thatwe possess, the people have to pay over fif-teen millions a year. It costs over a thou-sand dollars a year for every soldier and offi-cer in the army, and nearly a million a monthto sustain the postal service. The increaseShown Is partly legitimate but largely cannotbe accounted for by the natural developmentof the oountry.

This is a part of the financial record oftheRepublican party. Itis not a record thatcan be pointed to with pride. It showsgross mismanagement or gross dishonesty,and whichever horn of the dilemma the de-fenders of the party may seize, the resultwillbe equally disastrous. The people havegrown weary of having their substancethrown away. They have patiently bornethe burdens that have been imposed uponthem in the past, but think it is about timefor a change that will afford them slight re-lief. ',

THB CONDUCTORS' CONTENTION.The railroad conductors of the United

States and Oanadas closed their conventionin this city last night and to-day dull carewillbe left behind and they,with their wivesand families, will devote the few fleetinghours now remaining of their stay to ration-al recreation and the enjoyment of thebeauties ofnature as displayed in the greatNorthwest. Their visit here has been underthe most favorable auspices, and their im-pressions of St. Paul and its . people are ofthe happiest, as wo know from their ownlips, both privately and publicly. Mr. M.B. Waters yesterday spoke feelingly of theirreception and treatment here, saying "Inever met buch a hearty welcome, never ex-perienced such kindness from strangers inmy lifebefore." '

And our hospitality has not been abused.These conductors did " not comehere for a "lark" and' a : "bigtime."Their mission was/first and foremost, totransact the business of their organization,next to enjoy themselves in a -reasonablesensible fashion. Their work has been donein a manner and spirit more than commend-able. Itrarely falls to the lot of a news-paper reporter to sit two whole days in adeliberative assembly and he-ax cot a sylia.

ble ofbickering, not a word of offense, noteven a breath of reproach to any engaged inthe various debates which spring up. Yetthis has been the case in this convention.Here, as in the case of every other suoh as-semblage, were conflicting views and someclash of interests, but« all discussion wasconducted with an order and decorum, agrave, courteous regard for the rights andfeelings of each member in striking con-trast to the general practice, even in ourState legislatures or the great national BearGarden at Washington. In adjustingcertain changes in the constitutionthere arose opinions as opposite as Zenithand Nadir; as various as the minds of men,yet there were no long-winded speeches, noinjurious inuendoes, no imputations ofsinis-ter motives, no charges of bad faith—-noth-ing but the sincereet harmony and good willthrough it all. These men bad received nospecial training as debaters; had probablynever in their lives aspired to shine as ora-tors, yet their brief, concise, direot littlespeeches, of from no more than one to fiveminutes' duration, went to the root of thematter under consideration, and were modelsof diction and manly sense. Our politicalconventions and legislatures, 'even our religious conferences, could take a lesson fromthese cool, hard headed men of the world,with profit to their reputations and to theimmeasurable improvement of their man-ners. f^[

Itwillbe long before St. Paul sees anothersuch a body oongregated here, and sheis loth to part with the gentle-men ofthis association; would like to keepthem with her always, but suoh good fortunecannot be, and so, gentlemen conductors ofthe United States and Oanadas, the Globebids you good bye, with a sincere wish foryour future prosperity and happiness, whichis heartily echoed by every citizen of St.Paul who has made your acquaintance.

The railway conductors have set an excellent example to the men of St. Paul andMinnesota. They have brought their wiveswith them to enjoy their excursion, banquetand other festivities. The popular style inSt. Paul is to ignore the ladies on suoh oc-casions. Railroad excursions and banquetswithout ladies are the rule in Minnesota andit is discreditable to the men who partici-pate that this is true. Business and publicduties may require a man to go wherehis sex alone is admissible, but a festive oc-casion to which it is inappropriate for a manto take his wife, is unfit to be attended bythe man himself. The railroad conductorshave given no higher proof that they aregentlemen of intelligence and worthy ofdistinguished consideration than the faotthat they repudiate the barbarian style ofleaving the ladies at home while they enjoythemselves together.

THE COURTS.

Supreme Court.Frederick J. Hoffman, respondent, vi. William

J. Parsons, appellant.Syllabus— title of chapter 67, laws of

1874, sufficiently expresses the subject of suchchapter. . •'*."; '^A justice of the peace of a town in Ramseycounty may properly, within his own town, is-sue a Bummobs and entertain proceedings inforcible entry and detainer, though the partiesto the proceeding reside in St. Paul, and thepremises which are the subject of tho proceed-ings are within the precincts of such city.

Appeal to the district court inforcible entryand detainer proceedings in the county of Ram-sey, may properly be brought to trial at thespecial term held every Saturday under and inpresence of the order of said court, made onMarch 11th, 1876, and subsequently filed andentered ntinc pro tune as of that date, undersaid court's direction.

The order refusing a new trial is affirmed.\u25a0_

Beery, J.

George W. Harrington, appellant, vs. The Townof Plainview, T. G. Bolton, chairman of theboard of supervisors of the town of Plain-view, O. E. Daniels and S. Struble as super-visors of said town, A. B. W. Norton astown clerk of said town and the Plainviewrailroad company, respondents.Syllabus—James vs. Cornish. 4N. W. Bep.

2, followed that an appeal will not be dis-missed when the judgment appealed from ad-judges costs against the appellant, on the(.fund that the questions in controversy havesiuee the appeal beoome mere abstract ques-tions as between the parties.

When a statute provides two modes, onevalid and the other invalid, for authorizing theofficers »f a municipal corporation to issuebonds of the corporation, inasmuch as thebonds when issued need recite only that theywere issued under the statute, without specify-ing in which of the two modes theofficers were authorized to issuethem, and as there might be bona fideholders ofbonds so issued an action forinjunc-tion at the instance of a proper party will lieto restrain the issuance ofthe bonds by themunicipal officers under the invalid modeprovided by the statute.

Under the constitution it is not competentfor the legislature to authorize any person orclass of persons other than the electors of theofficers chosen by the electors of a town todetermine what action requiring local taxationthe town will take in any particular case.

Wherefore, sec. 7, of eh. 106, general laws of1877, which assumed to empower a majority ofthe resident taxpayers, (without regard wheth-er they were electors or not) to bind a town toissue its bonds to aid in the construction ofany railroad, was unconstitutional and void.

Judgment reversed. \u25a0 Gilfillan, 0. J.

The city of Winona, respondent, vs. Horace. Thompson and the Minnesota Railway Con-

struction Company, appellants.Syllabus—Upon an appeal from a order re-

fusing a new trial, this court cannot review anorder of the court below allowing an amend-ment of the pleadings made previous to thecommencement of the' trial, and not as a partof it.

The construction given by this court in thiscase in 24 Minn., 199, of the contract betweenthe parties, on which this action is baaed, ad-hered to.

The contract between the parties providingfor the issue of bonds by plaintiff, to be leftin escrow, and delivered to defendant when cer-tain conditions should be performed withinspecified times, among others, if a railroadtruss bridge should be constructed across theMississippi river at Winona, within three years,the bonds to be returned to plaintiff if suchbridge should not be constructed within saidtime.

No other but a railroad truss bridge, eventhough as good or even better than such abridge forthe use intended, and even strongerof toe kind used at other points on the

river, willmeet the requirements of the con-tract.

The aot of an acceptance of and acquies-cence in the bridge actually constructed, as acompliance with the eontraot, not being foundby the court below, nor alleged in the plead-ing, and it not appearing that on trial it wastreated as an issue. in the case and litigated,this court will not consider theevidence, thoughit may be very strong, tending to show suchacceptance and acquiescence. — ,Findings of fact on a former trial of th«case, they having been set aside and a newtrial ordered, cannot be an estoppel ai to thefacts as found on the second trial. j

A judgment on, the same issues,in an action by one throughwhom this defendant does not claim,against this plaintiff, is no estoppel as to suchissues in this aotion.

The structure in question being composed Inpart of trusses, and itbeinsr a litigated j ques-tion whether under the trestles wa* river oran island, one party contending that the wholeunder both trusses and trestles was river, andthe other patty that under the trestles wasisland, itwas improper toask an \u25a0 expert' wit-ness called to j testify to the character thisquestion, "Was that bridge constructed as yonhave described it, a truss railroad bridge acrossthe Mississippi at Winona?" because it in-volved the witnesses' opinion or determinationof whether under the structure was whollyriver or partly river and partly island— amatter for expert evidence.

Order affirmed. Gilfilla.v, 0. J.

Jacob Estelle, respondent, vs. the Village ofLake Chrystal, appellant.Syllabus—lf a municipal corporation know-

ingly permits in a public street a structuresuch as a platform, to be used by the public asa part of the street, placed there by a privateperson to remain and to be so used, it is itsduty to sea that it is in safe condition to beused by the public as a part of the streets, andthis is so though the structure be not in themost usually traveled portion of the street.

Previous knowledge of the unsafe conditionforuse offinch a structure from its not. beingprovided with railings or guards to prevent per-..sons walking or falling off, on the part of one'injured in consequence of such unsafe condi-tion, does not conclusively show negligence onbis part, but is evidence of negligence to beconsidered by the jury with the other circum-stances of the case.

Order affirmed. . Gilfillan, G. J.Daniel Jones,(appellant, vs. August Badatz

and Ferdinand Badatz, respondents.Syllabus— note negotiable in form but

which stipulates for payment, of reasonoble at-torney's fees ifsuit be instituted for its collec-tion, is not a negotiable note, so as to pass to apurchaser berore maturity and without notice,free from defences by the maker.

ANOTHER REPORT.

The Investigating Committee Again Speak—No More Breakers for the Auditor UntilAfterElection—A Small Tail to a BigKite.Anadjourned meeting of the county com.

missioners was held yesterday. It was 2:30when a quorum was got together. Nearly allthe afternoon was occupied by a rambling dis-cussion over the location of a highway throughland owned by W. W. McNair, some distanceout of the city and sit uated on the line oftheOa?eo branch. The matter was finally referredto a committee to act with the supervisors.

Before adjournment Commissioner Lydiardsaid he had a report to present, and remarkedthat the board could hardly have a meetingwithout some kind ot a "report." The reportbegins by saying that pending the opinion ofthe county attorney as to conducting j theinvestigation, and pending their final report,the public demand a response to the repoit ofthe auditor submitted at the last meeting. Itsays be states four cased where he j has abatedthe interest and penalty of taxes, aggregatinga large sum, and that an abatement of a pen-alty is nothing more nor less than an abate-ment of the tax. It states the auditor has ad-mitted all the specific charges made .in theirfirst report. Itbelieves all should .be treatedalike, and that one taxpayer should not be fa-vored at the expense -of others. . No one jj ischarged with corruption, but if the auditor isallowed the power of abating one tax, be mightabate others for a consideration. The system isclaimed to be wrong, and Examiner Knoxisattacked for not taking steps to make it better.If the commissioners abate a tax, the peoplehave means of appeal; but there is no appealfrom the auditor. Concluding, it makes athrust at Commissioner Austin for not actingwith them, and states that they willmake noreport until after election, as it might be con-sidered as a political document.

Itis a little difficultto imagine why this re-port was made. Itcontains nothing new. Ifthe auditor has admitted the substance of thecharges against him, - .tho people neededno j\u25a0• i "response" ;- from \u25a0. the :committee. 5If ': the .- charges against the auditorhave been proven, why should the committeemake another statement in the nature of a de-fence. Itmust be considered as a defense, forno additional charges are made the contra-ry, itis not bo severe as the original . report—and because it tells what they propose to do,and what they propose to meet, in order thatthe people may take no alarm. But the peo-ple are waiting for something else. They nowwant something besides the abatement of fourtaxes. The committee promised their first re-port was only the beginning. No one wantstbem to intrench T&emnelves but to go forthand strike right and left. v---

--\u25a0 The original \u25a0': report Bald fraud bad been"committed with the knowledge of• the mennow in office." ; They now I accuse no one offraud, but attack the system. The system is.not what the people are after just now. i Sys-tems can't be changed in a moment. But hon-est men are wanted in effuse. - An \u25a0 eleotion is,near at hand, and ifbad men are up for office,they should be defeated. •

The greatest blunder of this report, however,is the statement that nothing further will bedone until after election, as it might have apolitical' significance. : What is allthis rumpus- in county affairsabout? It was i supposed - it wasto show op dishonesty and thereby secure the

election of honest men. , Yet here they proposeto let the matter rest until after election, andthis in the face of the fact that the auditorwho has been the recipient of very gravecharges by them, is again a candidate for theoffice.»If the auditor has been guiltyof manyother things, as hinted, the people should benotified and the .man defeated. To hold thefacts from the people nntil after he la -elect-ed, is a new way of preventing corruption, anda way not likely to receive theappreciation ofthe people. \u25a0

3 The committee have thus taken a long steptoward the triumph of McDonald and the. Re-publicans in November, and a step that cannotbe retraced.

One manshowed a broad wound on the cheek bone, an-other's face was speckledwith flesh cuts asthough he had been near an explosion of grapeshot, and a third presented even a worse spec-tacle. ; One : side of his face was swollen intohuge proportions, entirely closing in his eye,and there was also a terrible gash on his fore-head. -Eight were present charged with intoxication,as follows: Martin Smith, H. H. Fulton, HughGlenn, Miobael Crawford, John Crane, Jas.McDonald. O. N. Duff and H. Beun.

When the prisoner who showed such a horri-ble face was asked "guilty or not guilty," hesaid he guessed it was all right. The judgesaid it looked more as though it was all wrong.

Allplead guilty and were fined accordingly.
