EXTRA COPIES OF TUB BOOSTER

The jubilation issue of the Sundat Globe at
tracted great attention and the demand was im
mense. To accommodate thoee who may wish
to Bend them to their Republican as well as
Democratic friends, an extra edition has been
printed and copies can be obtained by application

CELEBRATE THE VICTORY.
Meeting: of Democrats to Make Ar
rangements to Celebrate
the Victory.
The Presidential election having now been
fully determined it is fitting that the Democ
racy of St. Paul should celebrate the glorious
victory which Las been achieved by the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks. In
order that arrangements may be perfected
for such celebration a meeting of Democrats
is hereby called to convene at the council
chamber in the city hall, Monday evening at
8 o'olock. All are invited. By order of
City and County Democratic Committees.
St. John did it.
The Stalwarts did it. ~
Rev. Bcr.cnAßt) did it.
The Mugwumps did it.
The Delmonico dinner did It.
Henry Ward Beecher did it.
It is a pretty difficult thing to find "an or
iginal" Blame man now.
And besides the voters of the United
States took a little hand in the business
themselves.
Among the 6peial telegrams of the Globe
will be found one of special interest con
cerning the President Elect of the United
States.
At a meeting to be held this evening the
time for and the character of the demonstra
tion to be made in St. Paul in honor of the
triumph of the Democratic party, will be de
termined.
Axr> i:o\v the Globe resumes the even
tenor of Its way, after having devoted itself
rather exclusively to electing a president for
the last twelve day*. As it's twenty-eight
years since the last similar opportunity was
offered there is a little exhilcrating novelty
In the affair. '" v .
Tammany was loyal and brave in the late
great coutest and sacrificed lie candidate for
mayor rather than damage Cleveland. It
was the kid glove county Democracy that
proved treacherous this year. They have
been in the habit of berating Tammany, but
have now proven themselves treacherous
and unreliable.
Dormax B. Eaton furnishes an interview
•bowing thai lie entertains no fears that
President Cleveland will disregard the civil
kervk-o law, and expresses the belief that it
will ben great aid to him In eecuring a purer
adininis'.r.:t:.>!i ,if public affairs Mid enable
him to require 'ulthful discharge of duty by
official employes. The veteran civil service
commissioner holds the new President in
high esteem.
Wasjr the Globe, prior to the Chicago
convention, called attention to the fact that
while Cleveland had .192.000 majority for I
Governor over Folger, be only poll** 800
nior<« votes than. Gen. Huncock did when ;
Gen. Garfleld carried New York by 21,000. it
gave food for thought. The close call of the '
102.000 Governor on the 4th ins». shows that
the effort to profit by • statistics was wise.
Success in the pivotal and vital state of New
York was evidently chiefly 'due to Republican
stupidity and blunders.
The Police Ownmisrimu*r« of New York
City have put an end to afianiag in public
by forbidding any more glove fights within
the limits of their jurisdiction. The emineut '
Bostonian, Hr. Sullivan, who has* several '

recent exhibitions in New York have been so
largely attended that the receipts have run •

bellious, but a little discipline will do him no.
barm.
Shortly before the election an elegantly
finished horse-shoe was sent to Governor
Cleveland with the inscription ♦'Luck," by j
an AHenlown, Pinna., man. A day or two i
ago the Governor returned the following
complimentary letter:
Since the receipt of your present the con
teet has been decided in favor of the party j
which I represented. I shall give due credit j
to the horse-shoe for what has already hap
pened and shall carefully preserve . It In the
hope that it may bring success to my efforts
to give to the people good government.
Perhaps the contrast between an lnfinltise
itnally email person and one of breadth and
brilliancy was never better illustrated than
in the vote cast for Mr. Blainc and that cast
for Mister McCardy, the late auditor of this ,
county. Mr. Blame ran for an office before !
fifty million people and in thirty-eight states
was only defeated by 1,076 votes. Mister
McCardy ran for an office in one city and
half a dozen towns, before only fifteen
thousand people, and be was defeated by
Uiree thousand ttoo hup tired and ninety-eight, or
over three times as much as the majority
against Blainc. It was the most crushing
defeat ever administered to a candidate in
Ramsey county. And this too after an ap
peal to the secret and building societies in
the city and a bogus claim of alleged faith
fulness in public si/rvicc. The contrast shows
the relative insignificance of Mister McCardy.
It's a nice verdict to hand down to history.
The annual report of the postoffice depart
ment, which ban just been completed, veri
fies what was claimed in behalf of letter post
age reduction, that there has been a very ,
considerable growth in the. letter business.
The report covers only the three-fourths of a
year of two cent letter postage, during which
time the sale of two cent stamps was 1,148,
--000,000, against 859,000.000 of three cent
stamps the year preceding. While the sale
of Uo cent stump* shows a practical Increase
of 50 per cent, over the use of three cents.as
nearly as may be computed, the Increase of
the letter business is fully 25 per cent, as
many of the stamps are used for newspaper
postage and on drop letters, for which the
two cent rate was required before the change
from three to t.vo cents on mailed letters.
The demand for postal cards has diminished
some 4 per ccntslnc* the new rate obtained,
as people do not hesitate to pay two cents to
remove their communications from the pru
rient scrutiny of postoffice employes. It
would be just as well if the postal card ser
vice were restricted to printed matter alone.
Senator Dox Cameron* is made the
authority for the statement that
Mr. Blalne was Informed the day after the
election that he was beaten, and that at his
express urge. nee the national committee of
his party set up the fraud cry that he might
occupy the position of a martyr. So the
state of New York was claimed without any
figures, Blalne being so rattled that he enter
tained the notion that such a proceedure
would cither result in so inflaming the party
that with the machinery of the government
in their hands, they would make him Presi
dent in spite of his defeat, or, failing in that,
such sympathy would be aroused as would be
calculated to secure him the nomination four
years hence. It turns out, however, that
neither effect has been produced. lie has
not been counted in, whether or no, and
the members of bis party are pointing out
bow much stronger Arthur or Sherman
would have been, and the assertion, founded
upon belief, is freely made that either of
them could and would carried New York and
kept the party in power. No party in this
country will load up with Blame again.

I AVAL DEFEXSES.
The question of the defense of England's
coaling: stations throughout the world is at
present attracting much attention, and will
come up for consideration during the present
session of Parliament Proposals it is said
will be submitted to Parliament for itn action.
The Canadian papers are greatly surprised
that in these proposals no reference is to
be made to the two great Canadian points,
Halifax and Victoria, in British Columbia.
It is claimed that Halifax has one of the
largest and best anchorages on the Atlantic
coast, affording sufficient accommodation
for a thousand ships. It already has excel
lent fortifications, but not sufficient for the
protection of the harbor in case of war with
a large naval power. Victoria is very weak
and deficient in harbor fortifications. The
difficulty in providing proper defenses for all
coaling stations is a financial one. Sir Alex
ander Gait, in a recent issue of the Pall
Mall Gazette of London continues the subject
at length, and suggests a tonnage duty to
raise the necessary funds. He says the
amount of British and colonial shipping is
now about 9,000,000 tons, and all is alike
exposed to capture in case of war. A ton
nage duty of one penny per ton would yield
£37,500 per annum, and 6d would produce
if capitalized, interminable annuities, prob
ably enough to fortify all the principal sta- i
tions. In time of peace prepare |
for war, is England's motto, in
accordance with which she will steadily pro- j
coed to strengthen ill her harbor defenses,!
In order to maintain her reputation as the
greatest naval power in the world.
The true way for any nation to avert war,
and secure continued peace, Is to be thor
oughly prepared at all points for •cither ag- ;
gression or. defense.
To what a miserable and helpless condi- •,
tion has the naval power of the United
States been reduced by the worse than dis
graceful paltering of Republican administra- -
tions. In case of war with a naval power
there is not a harbor in the country that
could stand an hour before an aggressive as
sault. The only safety for this country is to
keep out of war, to do which the government
must cut any amount of bumble pie re
quired, and submit' to any exactions that
may be demanded. By a change of admin
istration and capable and honest manage
ment, it is to be hoped these, as well as other
imperative matters, will be better ordered.

: Fred Douglass is one of the first of the Re
publican line of office holders to appear with
a public lamentation over the election of a
Democratic President* : This veteran who
has so long enjoyed the fatness of the spoils,
declares that the election of Cleveland means
the political death of the negro. Nothing
c.iii be more absurd than this premising. As
a alter of fact Mr. . Douglass is not recog
nized as a leader by the colored people, and
few men have less influence among them
than he, and certainly, none should be more
modest in professing to speak for them. -If,
in /times past the negro has suf
fered any abridgment of his political rights',
it has arisen solely from the advantage taken
of him by the designing and unscrupulous
men c»f the Republican party, who as carpet
baggers and plunderers both used and abused
bim, so that in common with all members of
that organization In the southern portion of
the country he was antagonized by the polit
ical opponents of the {»irty in power, which
sought to make the whole south mere vassals.
If the colored man has anything to fear from
any* political party . he need
nut anticipate that the Democratic

party will prove bis enemy. The
record of -F.er>ublican domination ' in the
south is one that will sot bear inspection.
That party has done nothing for. the colored j
man, and in more than one southern state a
"white Republican party" organization exists
from which the negro man Is excluded. The ,
position taken by Fred Douglass is neither {
patriotic or philosophical, and if by * Demo
! era tic party organization be should not be
| continued in office he will meet with less
sympathy on that occasion among the people .
of his own race than anywhere else.
The truth is, and events will prove it, that :
l the accession of the Democratic party to na- i
I tional power means a brighter day for the <
j south than It has known under the despotic j
, and tyrannical rule of the party which has j
1 held its feet upon the necks of that section
' for more than twenty years. If the negro
man wants anything that be does not poss
ess that a political party mar confer j
the old, corroded Republican party !
is the last place to look I
, for anything of the kind. If any person is '
! to speak for the colored race it should be one '
in wbntn that people hare confidence, and
for whom they entertain respect, and that
man is not Fred Dnairlass. It Is fortunate
for the colored people that he cannot preju- '<
dice their interest^ and the position be occu- '
i pies with them should lead Dim to be less j
assumptions. Whenever the colored peo- |
pie feel that they desire an adrovate be will |
appear, but not in the person of the
man whose counsel for twenty years baa
been hurtful and who is repudiated by bis
own people. At all events, a prophet of evil
can cot nerve them.

How often does vaulting ambition over
leap itself! Men rashly tempt their ruin by
entering the political arena to the neglect of
their private business. The ephemeral, and
comparatively valueless distinction of be
ing Governor of a State, is often striven for,
at the expense of private fortune. Here is a
case in point. R. M. Bishop was a successful j
and opulent wholesale grocery merchant in
Cincinnati. He was reckoned among the mil
lionarles. His great fortune caused grasping
politicians to whisper in his ears the desira
bility and possibility of achieving Guberna
torial honors, that they might bleed him
financially the more 6ncccssfully. lie accep
ted the glittering proposition. He was nomi
nated for Governor, entered the canvass with
vigor, contributed largely to the campaign
fund.and was elected. As he proudly sat in the
Executive Chamber, exercising the functions
of chief magistrate of the state, his large bus
iness in Cincinnati was neglected; its man
agement was left to other and unskillful
hands, embarrassment ensued, * and before
bis Gubernatorial term expired he was a
bankrupt merchant. And now in bis old
age, be is left destitute, striving for a pre
carious existence. He was seen on the streets
of Lexington, Ky., the other day peddling
cigars for a livelihood. What to him arc now
worth his - former Gubernatorial honors?
They are sadly extinguished by his financial
misfortunes and ruin, and bis remembered
Governorship Is now no badge of honor, but
the reverse. A newspaper correspondent,
writing from Lexington, Ky., indulges
plaintively in a narrative that Is only too
suggestive of the wreck and sorrow that was
wrought in this case and that had its paral
ell in thousands of other instances. •<
I saw ex-(Joy. Bishop of Ohio on the street
here a few days since with a sample ca»e in his
band, trying to sell come cigars, it mule me
sorry that I was not in the cL-ar trade, for if I
wu, an his goods came anywhere near salting
my customer? , I should boy from him in prefer
ence to any one il»e. The tight was provocative
of sadness to me, and I buried by without (top
ping to speak to the old gentleman, for I could
not change his condition, and did not wish my
mind to dwell on it.
1 ray the night provoke! sadness in me, and to
it did. Not because I think the occupation of a
traveling salesman or drummer is in my way de
cradlng, for It is an honentand legitimate calling.
In which no one need be a>ha:n dto engage.
Nor was it because 1 thought there was a. j sac
rifice of dignity on the part of Got. Bishop in
engaging in it. It was creditable that he should
have gone to work for himself rather than fold
his hand* and become a charge on others, and 1
honored him for it.
But still I was sorry that he had to do it. I
thought what poverty is: I know what the con
stant strain of baring to seek one daily bread
by bit daily labor is, and 1 know how hard it I*
to feed the little months and clothe the little
forms that are dependent upon the father for
evtry morsel and every shred. I have fought
with these wild beasts at Ephesus, and* still do
battle with them daily after the manner of men,
though mayhap it pro!itc:h me nothing. But I
look forward more or lent hopefully to the time
when in old age I can rest and let my days go
out in peace und'eturbed by rarking cares about
next week's market money. The time may never
come, but I wish it would come to every man
whose three-score yean have patted.
K. M. Bishop has been a prominent man here
as well as at bit home in Cincinnati. As one of
the leading men in hit church he became presi
dent of the board of curators of Kentucky Dai
vertlty, I believe from its organization. At all
times he took a lively Interest in its welfare, and
spared no Daint or trouble to advance IU inter->
esta. Ills baa been a familiar figure here for
many years, and he baa had warm friends and
j ardent well wishers on all sides among the peo
i ple. Hie great wealth did not make him purse
! proud, nor hi* official position tempt him to be
haughty. While Governor of Ohio and presi
dent of our university he was still the same rim
pie, unaffected Christian gentleman be would
have been had his station been humble and
means limited. Misfortune came and be failed
lin business. I suppose he mutt have made an
\ honest failure, else he would not to day be trav
elling selling cigars by sample. It is honorable
and commendable in the old gentleman to
j knuckle down to work, but I wish he bad bis
I fortune back, at.d If the prayers of one poor (in
| ncr for hit enccet* would avail, be would not
, have lea to wait until he did have it back.

; tablished, the elder Weller's warning to the
, contrary notwithstanding A wealthy widow
announces a erand ball to be given exclu
sively to widows of thirty or tnorv years, and
invitations arc to be sent to representative
and prominent relicts In various other cities.
. It is expected to be the most unique and fas
i cinating event in the gay world this season,
I and men are wondering who among them
| will be honored with invitations. Tub ball
; in its way is a rebuke to the prevailing x
elusion of all but young people from the moat J
brilliant s society affairs. Rosebuds and
hobbledehoys have a clear and sweeping
course in American life, and tbe
result is not soothing to numerous and Influ
ential representatives not paxst as to years
nor attractions who are generally ignored as
having any charm worth inviting except on
stated "duty" occasions when as the gilded j
youth of both sexes say ••there is no fun." ■
Ike law of contrast is steadily under- '<
valued or subject to stringent piotection that •
will allow nona of the offsetting competition
which history, experience and every day ob
■ serration show to be pretty formidable.
Cleopatra was positively venerable according
to our American standard — she is re
corded as having been a passably winsome
sort of old girt. What's the use of talking
about Ninon dc L'Euclos or any of the other
noted Instances of superanuhted fas
cinations. Didn't the widow Mine
de Montcspan get away with the ex
quisite young chit Louis- La Valliere in the '
capture of that showy old fraud Louis X I V.
So we read.and hence perhaps the canon law |
asalnst grandmothers is not so absurd as j
people imagine after all, nor is the insidious j
ruling out of a threatening element in fes- ■
tive gatherings bo very unjustifiable cither.
Still the business was pretty monotonous,
and the rich Philadelphia widow's reprisal j
is timely, if only as a respite pro tern from j
the v large assemblages {riven over almost
solely to young people save in the article of
chapcrones, who, chiefly intent on beading
off any rash, immature selections likely to
interfere with well balanced matrimonial
schemes, have scarcely more ideas of social
enjoyment than detectives on the scent."
But the ; widows are going to break
up the social monopoly by jquth,.
and if figures, plurality, majority
and such potential considerations are to be j
counted they bar • already cot France sure — i
and France leads the woild. Iv the census i
of a few years since there were 830,619 wid ,
owcrs and 2,020,633 widows In France, that
is more than two women bereft of husbands* :
to every man relieved by death of his spouse. '
Here is a mysterious demurrer to the state- .
ment of statistics that the two sexes are al
■*ays even in any country;. and the death
rate of married people remains equal. More
husbands die iv Frtncc than wives, and the
same is true of St. Paul. According to th!«
census the marriageable single women num
ber one million, and the adverse ratio shows
two widows to every maid, and only three
wives to each widow. A puzzling revelation
is that there are 20,179 more married wome.
than married men in France. How is that,
and what explanation can be given of it!
We read, too, one these refreshing figures
that there an- 9.581,153 woraA, and only
8,667,578 men in France who have been ;
married, and it would appear to favor them
with a better chance of marriage than the
men. Indeed, ten women marry there to
every nine men. Perhaps the variance
conies from a defection In favor
of American heiresses when there Is a title
for sale. We will be im*t anxious to learn
about this extraordinary Philadelphia ball to
which no women but widows are invited.
What a theme of Inspirit!; novelty to chosen
newspaper scribes, weary of the routine in
sipidity of the sweet budding ingenues now
regnant in society. Alas, for those who
must stay their Impatience, and stay in their
hyperborean home here afar — too afar from
such a tempting scene, resigned to live and
perhaps to die without even the consoling
reminder we bad of the great Vanderbilt
ball in a fight across the footlights of one
of the costumes worn there, which through
some comforting mutation of fate was com
passed by one of the Carleton Opera com
pany, and exhibited to our wild western vis
ion at the opera house a palpable souvenir of
the "regular snorter." Meanwhile we hope,
and as we hope we sigh, that some gifted
sons of the pencil may do poetic justice to

The "Tribune" Admits It at La»t.
Nkw York, Nov. 16— The TrQnme
says to-day: -'The official
count is so nearly over that there can no
longer be a doubt about the result. Got.
Cleveland is elected president by a plurality
of a little over 1,100 in a rote of nearly
1,300,000 in this state. On the morning af
ter election we believed there was a plu
rality a few hundred leas than this
on the other side and were subsequent! p
confirmed in that belief by confident state
ments received by the commissioners as to
errors and worse in the counts in Albany,
Ulster, Sullivan, New York, Kings and other
counties. The Albany fraud proved to effect
only a county office, where it reversed the
result, and in the other cases the boards of
canvassers have made only small reductions.
In this city an exaggerated idea of
the number of defective ballots improperly
rejected seems to have been adopted because
of the occasional report of the "thirty-six de
fective" when the inspectors really mean:
"one defective with thirty-six names on it."
Elsewhere many think Butler votes were
counted for Cleveland, but with tbe ballots
destroyed tbe canvass did not estab
lish it Until the New York
and Brooklyn figures were developed
we thought there was reason to believe that
the plurality would not go above 500 either
way. Though over double that, it 1* still a
very small vote, on which such momentous
consequences bane. We profoundly regret
the result, but it is tbe duty of every good
citizen to accept it and to give to tbe presi
dent elect the respect fte office demands. "
The Chicago "TribuneV Say.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Chicago, Nut. 16.— The Tribun* gives up
the presidential tight perforce this forenoon,
but it does it with it* usual bad grace. it
says: "The official couut in the state of
New York was practically completed yester
day. All the assembly districts in the city
were informally canvassed, and no substan
tial change was made from tbe results first re
ported. This decided the great presidential
contest of tbe year HM Grovor Cleveland
will be the next president of the United
States. As the Tribune hss already taken oc
casion to say, be will bo Inaugurated with the
complete and cheerful acquiescence of every
Republican, as well as of every Democrat.
Principles are more important than men,
and the fundamental principles on which
our institutions are founded, namely,
that the majority must role, has never found
more faithful and constant vindication than
in the ranks of the Republican party. It
bows obediently to tbe will of an apparent
majority, although there is tbe best reason
for believing that the vote in many of tbe
states was not fairly cast nor ascertained.
Tbe wishes of thousands of legal voters were
ruthlessly trampled under foot, and their
voices stifled in what should have been
a free election by the people of tbeir chief
magistrate. Mr. Cleveland has been elecU-d
by th«> solid south and the bourbon city of
New York. We hope there will be no mis
understanding of tbe results of this contest.
The solid south, by a mere "scratch," in
consequence of the fanaticism of a small
fraction of tbe Republican party, is again in
tbe saddle. A conjunction of anti-draft
copperheads, of Now York harbor, aided by a
handful of Prohibitionists and tbe anti
union rebel Democrats of the south, bas tri
umphed. After twenty-four years of success
ful and honorable administration, carried on
with signal purity, ability and integrity, the
Republican party has been ordered to the
rear. It bas fought many battles during tbe
last quarter of a century and lost but one,
and that one by an accident and under cir
cumstances which award no creditor honor
to tbe winning bide."

Losuox. Nov. 16.— Tbe Tablet, the chief
Cbatholic journal, and the Catholic Time*,
both print long editorial articles warmly con
gratulating America on Mr. Cleveland's
election. The Belfast Aew says Mr. Blame
was defeated because of his action in tbe Me-
Sweeney case and concludes that the whole
business will prove a useful lesson to Amer
ican statesmen in future. Mr. McSweeney
and his friends are to be congratulated on
the blow they have struck, and the effective
warning they have administered to the Amer
ican statesmen. It will teach them that if
they neglect tbe interests of the Irish-Ameri
can citizens they will be sura to

continues to help the Gould faction to prop
up tbe prices of their stocks by pretending
that the vote is not quite decided. Gould

[Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Chicago, Nov. 18.— Ex-Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, who is at tbe Palmer, was askt d if
he was making any effort to succeed Senator
Uill.
"The struggle in the legislature this win
ter," he repiifd, "will be an interesting one,
and is likely to last some time be
cause there are so many candidates.

seems to be about equally divided amoug
Hill, TelKr and Routt, but what the few Dem
ocrats in the legislature » ill do it is as yet
impossible to tell."
From conversations had with other promi
nent Colorado politicians, who have been at
tending the live stock meetings at Chicago,
it woulJ appear that there is an impression
among them that an arrangement bas been
entered into between Teller and Routt,
by which the former is to be an
ostensible candidate up to tbe
lime of tbe caucus and he is to withdraw in
favor of Routt, Teller and Routt having a
majority of the Republican votes in the legis
lature. Others assert, however, that Teller
is simply playing Routt again. It is said that
Teller is the leading man, and that if he
does not get it tbe senatorship will go to Hill
ar Tabor. Concerning this matter Tabor de
clined to talk.

[Special Correspondence of the Globe.]
Emmetsbirg, la., Not. — To-night our
town i* receiving a bright scarlet hue by en
thusiastic Democrat*, who are fairly slopping
over in consequence of the Democratic out
look.
All the old Democratic war horses of
Algona chartered a special train, and taking
along their tine cornet band and mammoth
campaign flag, dropped down upon us in
solid legions. The young band from Veal
Bend, with their new instruments, put in an
appearance at the proper moment, and a
procession was formed numbering near
1,000 people and torch bearers which paraded
all the principal streets, headed by John M.
Hefley and James Foy, two soldiers of the
Mexican war, Democratic stalwarts who were
worthy veterans under Scott and Taylor.
The procession was the grandest and most
imposing that ever paraded our streets.
Mayor Joyce's house was Illuminated and
shade trees decorated tastefully with Chinese
lanterns, while Emmetsburg trembled with
tbe roar of cannon and the shjea made lurid
with Roman candles, red fire, rockets and
i bonflref. The grand procession baited at
1 last in front of the court bouse, when Presi
| dent Phalan opened the speaking, followed
by fully a score of happy, jubilant Demo
crats. So, with speaking and music and
deafening cheers for our worthy chief, the
happy hours sped fast.
It was a grand success In every particular.
Next Thursday our citizens return the com
pliraent and will help Algonans paint their
town.
Jubilant lirainerd Democrats.

Brainekd. Minn., Nov. 16. — The grandest
demonstration ever hold in Brain ml came
off last niirat. The Democrats turned out
over 500 t>trontr and paraded the principal
streets of the city with the Brainerd City band
in uniform and the full drum corps, amid
the booming of 100 guns and plenty of fire
works. After the parade the immense throng
of paraders and witnessing populace repaired
to the Opera house. where they were addresed
by the Hon. L. IV White, E. N. Donaldson,
Judge Stony, of Little Falls, Hon. G. W.
Holland and Sheritl Mertz, aud entertained
by the Brainerd Glee club with patriotic
songs. Brainerd has excelled herself, and
her Democrats have shown their high appre
ciation of two of our noblest Democrats 4

The Home for the Friendless.
Among the many institutions in St. Paul
for the amelioration of the sufferings of hu
manity, and for the care of those who, from
adverse circumstances or otlier cause need a
helping band from the community, none is
less known, although doing a noble work
quietly and without ostentation, than the
Home for the Friendless. The home is
pleasantly situated on Collins street, In the
midst of large grounds, and the view from
the upper windows i- as fine as any that can
be obtained in the city, as from that elevation
the greater portion of the city may be seen,
bounded on either side by St. Anthony
bill and Daytju bluff. The building is a
large frame one, composed of a main portion
with a wing from the center. It is a two
story with basement and attic, the latter not
yet corapleied. On the ground floor of the
the main portion may be found the board's
room and parlor with the matron's rooms,
kitchen, washroom, etc., while in the wing
are the public and private dining
rooms, scullery and pantries, the latter
being most excellently fitted up, and well
filled with every requisite. In the basement
of this part may be found a finely fitted up
laundry and an immense furnace which
heats the whole premises.
On the second floor we find the sleeping
apartments, and these are fitted up equal to
any hotel in the city. The churches in the city
have done a noble work here, rich one fit
ting up a room, and they have done it hand
somely, everythlcg being got to match. The
House of Hope, the first Presbyterian, the
Central Presbyterian, the First Baptist, the
several Methodist churches. Christ Church,
Plymouth Church, the Jewish Synagogue,
with many other have all contributed, and
the taste displayed by the ladies of
these several churches arc excellent. In the
i wing part on this floor may be found the
dormitory, where the little ones who have DO
one to take care of them are comfortably
housed. There is quite a number of these
little waifs, and the good care bestowed on
them is shown in their pleasant, cheerful
looks, and their chubby, rosy cheeks. They
are all plainly and comfortably clad, and
could not be better cared for had they been in
the best home in the land. The matron,
Mrs. Lewis, has the welfare of these little
ones at heart, and she is admirably fitted for
I the position. She is one of those big hearted
i ladles who feels that each little one there is
one of her family, and they will call her
mother. And she is more to them than a
mother in. name, as fhe soothes their every
trouble, and in her they may repose full
trust. At the same time she is firm, and
teaches the little ones self reliance.
In the attic we saw some of what is requir
ed to feed the many mouths that have to be
filled daily. Such heaps of apples, 3corcs of
bags of flour, canned meats by the gross,
preserved fruits in endless variety, -all dona
tions from the liberal people of the city. We
had the pleasure of Seeing some of the dif
ferent articles prepared for the meals, and no
better meals could be served anywhere,
everyone having an abundance.
This institution is under the management
of a board of twenty ladies, each one of
whom is much interested in its welfare. Of
these, Mrs. Pascal Smith is president, who
devotes much time to the Interests of the
home. It is mainly supported by voluntary
offerings, although several of the inmates
pay for their board, and many more
would seek its asylum if
they only knew Its advantages. The
city should come to its aid in some way, and
lighten the rates to this useful institution,
and a gas lamp should be placed on the
street directly in front, as the lumps on the
street are few and far between. Those who
have visited the home from other cities, where
there are such institutions, say it is much su
perior to those found elsewhere, and is not
only a home in name but in reality. As it
is more known it will be still more highly
appreciated, and it is hoped that the citizens
of the city will give it that support to which
It is entitled.

Professional Base Bal lists.
The Globe Base Ball department has re
ceived from P. Lorillard & Co., of New
York city, an engraving by Root & Tinker, of
Chicago, entitled, "Representatives of pro
fessional base ball in America." The pic
ture contains accurate likenesses of sixteen
of the best know men in dimond history.
The central figures are A. G. Mills and N.
E. Young, president and secretary of the
National league, flanked on the right and
1 left by Harry Wright, manager of the Phila
; delphias, and Al. , Spaldinjr, the sporting
goods dealer of Chicago. The dozen other
faces are those of players who have bandied

league and American, association teams
They are as follows: Morrilland Whitney of

: Brouthers of the Buffalo*, Anson of the Chi
cazoe, Keefe of tbe Metropolitans, Hecker of
the Louis villcs, Deaslej of the St. Louis,
I Stovcy of the Athletics ; and Snyder of the
Cincinnati. The work is creditable, the en
terprise of LoriUard Is laudable and the pic
tare should have a wide circulation among
those who appreciate the. influence tbe»e
men have had in giving "professional baa*
ball good standing:. .
AMUSEMENTS,
Tit 11 Kommny Ry.
This romantic spectacular melodrama which
scored a great success on its first production
last season, will be produced this evening at
the Grand Opera house. A* a melodrama it
takes raLk with the beat, and the stage
effects are triumphs of stage realism. Of are
cent performance of this company a Chicago
exchange says:
"The Romany live,"' a five act melodrama
by G. R. Sims, was produced last night at
the Academy before a full audience, which
speaks well for the popularity attained by the
play when here last season ." The perform
ance did not close till 11 :30, so that there I*
hardly time for an elaborate account of the
piree. It is enough to say that -The Ro
many Rye" is a melodrama* of the most sen
satioual type — full of exciting situations
each act having an exciting climax, each ona
of which was vociferously applauded. Then
are enough incident* in it to compose half a
dozen plays, and for its large measure ol
success much is due to its scenic effects
Last night it was handsomely put upon the
stage. The cast In the main is a strong one.
Mr. W. L. Dennis as the hero. Jack Hi-arne,
bears a good share of the burden of the piece,
and bears it nobly too. He is adequate to
all Ms scenes, his special power and natural
pathos being in no way dimmed by any ex
travagance or rant. The humorous Bo*s
Knivett is personated by Mr. C. W. Butler
most acceptably, while the Joe Heck of
Mr. Jordan is rather too earnest. Miss Vic
tory Bateraan furnished some really
churning acting, there being much
room in the part for the ' display
of g nulne pathos. Miss Rose onyder played
Lnra Lee with good effect, and Mrs. W. U.
Jones was sufficiently repulsive as Mother
Shipton.

was formally opened to-day by Bismarck in
the dining hall of his residence, being the

After the usual preliminary work Bismarck
delivered a short speech to the delegates,
