Dak Reese held a very successful convention yesterday. Tim Ri:ai:don appears to be a consti tutional statesman without a party. The party is in luck. When it came to a show-down between Van and Tim, Van got there. 'Twas ever thus in childhood's hour. The Michigan dentists enjoyed a ban quet at Ann Arbor the other evening. The viands were said to be very tooth- Borne. ' Now that the Republican board of education has abolished German, the party might as well continue the war by abolishing Kiefer. Why not give Ed Rogers a chance to secure the German vote on the platform— "Down with the Dutch?" The South Carolina Prohibitionists have refused to nominate a state ticket, very sensibly concluding that a state which engaged in the. business. of sa-. loonkeepiug has no use for officials opposed to that traffic, either by gov menta or individuals. The field for pro hibition in South Carolina is not yet ripe. ■; ••■;, '■'-. !A man in Sioux City who was con fined in jail there after the building had been condemned as uuhealthful has brought suit against the city, laying his damages at 110,000. The officials hope to escape paying, however, because the man is mortally side. The case, how ever, is one that excites much popular sympathy. The coal sinkers have resorted to dynamite as a means of carrying, their point. They will find, however, that it is a boomerang, more likely to injure them than their antagonists. It is the argument of cowards and knaves, not the resort of honest men. By its use they will alienate all public sympathy and obscure whatever of justice there is in their cause. The Boston Herald, forecasting the reception by tho house of the senate's evisceration of the house bill, says: "If points are to be yielded to the sugar trust, to various iron trusts, to lead trusts, to collar and cuff trusts and a variety of other influential' combina tions, there is a trust called the Ameri can people whose iuterests deserve to be known and considered." A deputy M.viiSHAt, in the Indian territory "got the drop" on Bill Dalton, the notorious outlaw, the other day, and he died with his boots on. There seems to be no doubt of the story this time, for it is well attested, and the; re mains have been fully indentified by those who knew the deceased well. Bill has been a terror to the frontier for many years, and his deeds of despera doisin would till volumes. The country will be better and safer by his taking off. ■•» "Poor. Cai:i,otta," the widow of Emperor Maximilian, the story of ■whose fate forms one of the most tragic pages in history, is relapsing into in sanity. It is but little more than a year .since she. recovered her reason, after having been a maniac ever since her husband's execution, and hopes were entertained that she would die in the complete possession of her facul ties. But brooding over the scenes that brought so much woe to her and death to the man she fondly loved has again brought on a delirium which, it is feared, will end only with her life. The refusal of Judge llorton. of Chi cago, to occupy a seat on the platform at the commencement exercises of the Northwestern university has caused a good deal of invidious comment. Al though the judge tries to make it ap pear that the governor's treatment of the anarchists is the prompting cause of his insult to that official, those famil iar with the facts know that the ani mosity has a far more remote origin. Some years, ago Gov. Altgeld, then a judge, brought suit against the city for damages to a portion ot his property caused by changing the grade of the ap proach to one of the bridges. The case was tried before Judge Horton, who, al . though compelled by the law to give judgment to Altgeld, indulged in some very bitter and uncalled-for remarks as to the plaintiff's greed and lack of pub lic spirit. Aitceld replied in an open letter, which was widely published, ex coriating Horton savagely for. violating the ethics and precedents of the bench by attacking the character of a litigant before his court. '■•: It is certain that in this case Altgeld had the best of it, for Borton was guilty of , a gross violation of 4 propriety. -In view of the circura- Stances, ; the ■ judge's ■ present conduct will be. attributed to personal spite ; more liiau to motives of public con cern. ■',' .- ■_'■ v^j-V .'';' .-' ■ "W; '; Party ■ services are not aUvays, but sometimes, recognized. Yesterday was' one ot i In 1 latter cases, when the Repub lican county convention nominated Dar Reese for clerk of the supreme court, sent Vaiullv«r to the state convention and kicked Tim Keardon into the street. XXIJ 1 TIM. It was a sad scene when Tim Reardon reft the Republican party yesterday. To what depths that organization must have . sunk when the great, the honorable constitutional exponent Tim Reunion cannot stomach it! The applause which greeted Mr. Van diver's excoriation of the Ninth. ward statesman indicated that the convention was with Him (Van). When Keardon asked his Republican compatriots to repudiate the A,. P. A. by refusing to select a delegate char acterized by the Hon. Tim as a member of that organization.' he met with no belter luck than when he assailed Vandiver. The convention was too much in ac cord with the A. P. A. as represented by Mr. Ness to repudiate him at the blathering Tim's demand, and Tim ac cordingly kicked himself out doors. ■ The object lesson which Mr. Van diver's speech furnished • concerning the bright and shining lights of the Re publican party was forcible, because it was truthful. - Mr.Vandivei is a hard-working repre sentative Republican, and when it came to choosing between him and Tim Rear dou there was but one door open, and that was to repudiate Tim. Tim is not any handsomer than he was, but he knows more. He knows what it is to be kicked, and kicked good and hard. His sins have found him out. The conundrum which was going the rounds of the papers recently concern ing the identity of J. L.Stack came very, near being changed into another ques tion yesterday with the word "where" substituted for "who." THK CIGARKXXK EVIL. The war on cigarettes that is being waged by the common council of Chi cago, assisted by the press generally, will probably result in some good, even though it may not lessen the evil of tobacco-smoking. Some people are laboring under the impression that a crusade is being waged against the use of tobacco in a given form. Such a pre sumption is not warranted by the facts, it is not against tobacco that the recent ordinance was aimed, but against the adulterants used almost invariably by the manufacturers of cigarettes. The ordinary cigarette _- contains - jimson weed. opium in large quantities, tannau, valerian and other deleterious drugs. It is difficult to cure a cigarette smoker of the habit. Even Dr. Keeley and other specialists who profess to have a specific for alcoholism confess that they are powerless to cure a man of inebriety . who has become addicted to the cigar ette, it is a habit that induces not only physical but moral degeneracy. A man loses not only control of his physical powers, but his moral perceptions be- ' come dulled and his intellect sluggish. The dire results of opium eating and smoking are perceptible in a degree in the confirmed cigarette smoker. He craves the narcotic at all times; occa sionally it obtains the mastery over t him, and he will obtain it at any cost of manhood. He will beg or steal for it. He will even pick up half-smoked stub ends from the gutters of the streets in order to satisfy his appetite. Nothing will serve as a substitute. . The : offer of . a prime Havana cigar to -a cigarette' fiend is an insult. It is not tobacco that he craves, although he may think it is, but the deadly drugs he has been so long introduplng-into his system. We have laws regulating the sale of poisons by druggists, " but none which apply to tobacconists. Yet there is more injury caused by the sale of adulterated cigarettes than there has been since the making of drugs was first known. The boy or the man who smokes his first cigarette feels an exhilaration that is absent when 'he smokes - a pipe or a cigar. The latter are sedatives; the former is excitant, and produces a nerve tension which, agreeable as a dissipa tion at first, soon becomes a necessity, just as the fumes of the juice of the poppy become indispensable •to the opium fiend. It is but recently that the attention of the medical fraternity has been di rected to this evil. To the credit of the profession, the majority have united in denouncing the use of narcotics in this form by men generally, and especially by the youth. There are a few, how ever, who set a pernicious example by themselves indulging in the practice. They plead the necessity for an ex citant. Of course, it is their, own affair if they, contract a pernicious habit, knowing full weil its evil results. But their responsibility is far greater than that which rests upon ordinary mortals. If a physician drinks liquor, smokes cigarettes, or participates in any other form of dissipation, the unthinking 'public is apt to conclude that . the habit is harmless, and may therefore be in dulged with impunity. It is with a doctor much as it is with a minister. The latter may participate in enjoy- ments that, so far as he is concerned, are perfectly harmless, but which. if participated in by some others not. as well balanced, would be apt to lead to excesses not only harmful but demor alizing. It is this that leads the clergy generally— and very properly, too— to abstain from card playing, theater going, and many of the popular sports of the "day. .-■'. ■ - It is questionable if the prohibition of the sale of adulterated cigarettes in Chi cago will work an immediate and sub stantial reform. It may lead manufact urers, however, to use fewer adulterants, and thus reduce the evils caused by their use. It may. also, prevent others from falling into the habit who other wise might fall easy victims. That the law will be evaded does not admit of question, but for the little good it will accomplish it will be heartily welcomed. If the evil cannot be cured it should be mitigated to as large a degree as possi ble, and the new ordinance is a step in the right direction. Public sentiment could contribute largely towards the success of the reform, and all business men should refuse to employ cigarette smokers or to transact any business with them. Wbsbk was President Willrich when the German went out? VOICES OP THE NIGHT. St. Paul is emphatically a quiet city after "Night has pulled her curtain down, and pinned it with a star." There are few owls in this vicinity who delight to make the air hideous by their hoot inirs, and the watchman finds his beat a lonely one after the midnight hour has struck. Our people finish their business betimes and betake themselves to their homes. There are few evening enter tainments in the summer season. The theaters attract limited audiences, for a rest in a hammock upon a cool and breeze-fanned lawn is much more en THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORXIXG, JUNE JO, 1834. —TWENTY PAGES. tlcing than the glare of the footlights In ' a superheated auditorium. And .those who cannot afford the luxury of a lawn or a hammock are not denied- the bene i fits of fresh air.'. Our urban parks are fragrant with the odor of vernal nature, and the rustle of the leaves, stirred by | the breezes, furnishes sweet music to the tired senses. ''[ It is so pleasant after a day passed amid the clatter of machinery . or the hum of the busy streets to listen to sounds that bespeak a perfect rest and utter abandon— to float resistlessly, as it were, upon the current of a stream whose banks are garbed in green, dotted here and there with the brilliant color ing that nature scatters- so lavishly among her more somber raiment. " Th« voices of the night in St. Paul are not numerous or startling. They do not command remark; they rather steal over the senses, and make their preseuee .known as does a sweet -per-! fume. The ; hum of the electric car heard in the distance does not seem dis cordant when tempered ; by a short dis tance, and the clang of the cable gongs seems but to denote the vigilance of people in another world. The shrill note of the night hawk, followed by the reverberation of : his wings, as he de scends upon his prey is a reminder that all the world does not sleep simul taneously—that there are watchers con tinually on guard, even in the dominion of the animal creation. : . i ' -\ Occasionally some merry carriage' party rides by. There is music in the laughter that proceeds from the throats of the fair occupants, and the crack of Jehu's whip again reminds one of. a watchful eye and a constant supervision of some one over a community given over to the delights ot absolute rest. The court house bell rings out the hours and the quarters, and its tones do not seem discordant, as they did a few hours before, but rather the cadence of a restful song— a cheerful lullaby— re minder that, although time flies, there is much of music in the world. A band of revelers passes. Their con versation is loud and interspersed with ribald jokes and horrible profanity. Their merriment bespeaks a release from all restraint, an abandonment ab solute and reckless to all that is vicious. Some are but striplings, with beards not yet grown, and under cover of the night seem to be determined to com pensate by their excess of vulgarity for the circumspection they have been compelled to observe during the day. A howl of pain or druuken frenzy from the police station near by seems to check the merriment for a moment. Perhaps it may be a hint of what is in store for these gay youths; but with a jeer and an oath or a taunt to the un seen unfortunate the crowd passes on, and one breathes a sigh of relief - when distance has blotted them from sight and hearing. ■ - A physician's carnage rolls swiftly past. Perhaps there has been a terrible accident, and a score of human beings have been mangled in a railroad wreck or a boiler explosion. Or it may be that a mortal sickness has stricken some one on this beautiful evening, and that death is fighting for the mastery. It is an every-night experience for the doc tor. Perhaps he whistles softly to him self as he grasps the nature of the com plaint from the description of the symp toms given him, and perhaps he is plunged in the deepest thought, realiz ing the gravity of the case. Or he may be infill tumor at the untimely call from his much-needed rest, and mutter curses upon those who never send for a physician except at hours when na ture intended that he should have rest. And he has reason to grumble. It is a stiange trail in men— and women, too— that they will endure the severest pains during the day and seldom think of summoning medical' aid; but in the night the slightest distress seems to them to be a harbinger of approaching death, and the swiftest messenger is all too slow to reach the nearest physician. And yet we complain at the impatience sometimes shown by our medical at tendants. The voices of the night are a sure in dex to the character of a city. It speaks volumes for St. Paul that the still air of darkness throbs . so seldom with dis cordant and jarring sounds. Seldom does the crack of, the revolver startle a neighborhood with the intelligence that murder has been done; only on rare oc casions do the shriek of the wounded and the wail of distress resound through the gloom.' Most of Hie voices that we hear speak of placid delight or keen, if boisterous, enjoyment. . Even nature seems to have united with man in the effort to make the night peaceful and refreshing, for our storms break iv the daytime, and our nights are marked by elemental repose. A night in Venice is not to be compared with a night in St. Paul. '.' ■ —''-"-' : ' The subject of municipal reform on non-partisan educational lines is the ' topic upon which- Dr. Tolman is to speak at the People's ( church tomorrow night.

The characters of Dean Maitland and Cecil Marlowe have many points of re semblance. Both men of spotless repu tations,;, good neighbors, loving hus , bands aud .'. fathers, loyal friends, yet cowardly, treacherous hypocrites. Both, men, carrying the secret of their crime; rose from one position of honor ■ to a higher until one was elected bishop, and the other wore for years - the er mine of a judge. _-If T it were the writer's aim to show how despicable a thing cowardice and treachery can make a man possessed of all advantages birth and education can give, she amply succeeded. All grace of speech and mauner, all kindly acts bore the blight of their guilt. The terror of the "Dies Iraj" was to them a daily realization. . Perhaps there is no personality in this book so lovable and charming as Dr." Everad of the eat Her work, but Cynthia Marlowe, the innocent wife made miser able bj the husband who loved her, and yet wronged her by his deceit and cow ardice, is a tine character, full of a sweet graciousness and sympathy, and possessed of the finest sense of honor and truth. - The dramatic element of the ; story rises step by step, increasing in inten sity until the climax is- reached . when Judge Marlowe— the father -puts on the black cap to pronounce the death sen tence on his disavowed child. It is more thrilling than the dean's last service in the cathedral when he confessed his guilt. How vividly the writer depicts the scene where Kenee, the unloved and de serted wife, stands under -the fir trees on Christmas eve, gazing in at the hall window of Cottesloe upon, a \ cheery view of the family circle. The blazing logs illuminated the walls, hung with trophies of war and sport, all decorated -with holly and mistletoe, and the merry - faces of the family seated, around the fire; her own husband leaning .in a" lover-like attitude over another wom an's chair, 'clasping her band, while out-? side of all the warmth and love she— his ' wife— stands, the piercing cold congeal ing the blood in her veins, and the fall ing snow burying her under its . white ' drift. "But as she looked, the . fireside group grew vague and distant; the fire light changed to altar lights; it was her first communion. She had made her confession well her soul was quite white, and she was very happy. The broken heart was at rest." "The ; Diary of a Nobody,'' by George and - Wheedon Grassmith., Lovell; ■ Coryell & Co., New York. -, ;. ~. , >lk This diary originally appeared in* Puck, and was considered a hit then. Since then it has been rewritten and added to to form the present volume. The records are written in the most matter-of-fact, soliloquizing way, full of a quiet humor which is very amusing. The reader is reminded of Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad." Mr. Porter, the writer of the diary, has the same child like faith as the "New Pilgrim," the same unerring instinct of nature which made him weep over the grave of his poor dead relative Adam. He seems to look upon the world with sad, ques tiioning eyes, as if suddenly transported to this world from some far-distant planet. He is full of plans and schemes which invariably end in blunders and general unpleasantness, and this diary is a plain, unvarnished record of his experiences. - ■ ■' . ,-. A capital book to read aloud, or to fill up spare moments. "Love Affairs ' of - a Worldly Man," by Maibelle Justice. F. Tennyson Neely, Publisher, Chicago. Price, 50 cents. QThe author says "the plot of this book is not so much to convey a moral or. a theory, as to depict how -life's realities differ from ambition's cherished dreams." Alvin Geoffrey— the Worldly Man wrecked his life in his youth ;by mar riage with an actress . many years his senior, out of an engagement and .very poor. After six months of marriage she left him and returned to the stage, nam ing her allowance. Geoffrey, being thus well started for the part of a worldly man,, with all the illusions of youth dissipated, his mother dead from grief and his father broken hearted; with a Nemesis of his own invoking to attend his footsteps, to blight' every enthusiasm and wither every hope, looks upon life as a j thing dead and gone, having no further inter est for him. In this state of mind jhe met Dutzia - Gaynor, :a ' young Anglo- Indian girl, ; and - loved her. At this point the story begins. ' • .-' ; ' The different characters in the book ' are interesting as real types of living' persons.

I was riding down ' one , of the sandy streets of that city on a sand dune, just ; after our capture of it at the close of the war, when ahead of me I saw a darky drayman trying to urge his balky horse to take up the line of march. A few. days before I had run across one of \ those paragraphs which the scrap editor likes to pick up and start on its inform ing travels : among his readers, which said that a balky horse might be started by opening his mouth and throwing in a handful of sand. I rode up to the dis concerted drayman . and said: "Uncle, get down aud open his mouth and throw in a handful of sand; that will start him." He did as suggested; the aston ished horse shook his head, and, after horse fashion, spat the sand out, and, obedient to his driver's '-g'long," started oft on a trot, with the darky ejaculat ing: "Bress my soul; dem Yankees; knows eberything." -.' .-i.".- 5..'.;', « ♦ V . ; I read with interest the account given i in the organ of the administration that has just retired from control of the city ' '■and, its police, how appointments are made on the "foorce," because these re- : formers have a different way of doing' things from the conservatives, and it is just as well to look at all sides of these , matters. Once in a while one can pick "up a good point even from them. I es pecially was curious to learn what they thought a policeman should be and not -be; should do and not do; what good * habits he had and ones he hadn't.; All the questions on the blank seemed' proper enough until I struck the one which asks him, as narrated by the : organ, "whether be drinks, or chews and smokes tobacco." If a man uses tobacco, what difference does it make • whether ,he drinks it. or chews and; .smokes it, or whether he does j one of j these things or any two in conjunction, .or all of them? And does a reform ad ministration draw a line between drink ing tobacco and chewing it, and does the drinking or the chewing debar a fellow from getting on the force? Michael Mullen, of New Ulm, banker, farmer and one -of the straigbtest of Democrats, probably couldn't make a political speech to save his neck, but he can make a point with the | sharpest of ends on it, and then drive the point in farther than all the fellows who can spout by the hour on the stump. Two years ago be ran afoul of a threshing crew of farmers, all Republicans but one or two, and as the campaign was on and . politics '. catching, the . talk soon drifted into the absorbing topic, and one •of the farmers i asserted that •" if Cleveland was elected it would shut up all the factories in the country. "Yes:" ■said Mullen, "we will .then have free trade, and every shop will have to shut down, perhaps. Now suppose this hap pens aud the shops shut down and the men are thrown out at work, how many of you men will agree to chip in $50 a year to keep the shops running and the men at work?" No response.. "How many v>il give $-25," $15, $5?" "Won't give them a -cent. Why should we? What do they give us?" were the an swers. "You wouldn't give them a cent, eh?" retorted Mullen, "and still you fellows are all going to vote for a party which makes a law that makes the poorest man among you give more than $50 a year to these same manufact urers. A bright lot of Americans, you are." •.* * . ' I wish Mr. Lowry would have signs painted in good bold-face type on the backs of the three rear seats of his open cars, which he has thoughtfully set apart for the use of men who smoke the weed delicious, reading: "These Seats Are Reserved for Smokers." It would save many a -woman- from an overflow of indignation at the .•.*ungentlemanly ; brute" who takes a seat in front of her i and puffs his pine or cigar,- whose smoke j the- draft of the rapid car sweeps back i mo her face. She doesn't know that t these seats are assigned to smokers, and -is not aware that it is she who is doing aiieiungallaut thine by intruding her- Jself where she does not belong and intrenching on the privileges of men. -Mo.st of us who go home to lunch or ■ have to come back down town after dinner find, solace for. "the cares i that iiof<!s{ the day" in the soothing pipe or 7 ci};4r enjoyed while riding down town, and if we get into a car and find women . '"tilling the seats allotted ;to us, .with iplejity of vacant front seats, we are apt to think impolite and j harsh things Eof ■the-dear creatures, and say them when wJß!feet ' out : of i. earshot. J Possibly they ; 'don't know that they are interlopers on "men's preserves, . and iif Mr. , Lowry would only give them notice that they are, we could then apply our; objurga tions more justly. -1 notice that on the Interurbans the; conductors suggest to the vronien that they take seats forward. ,r ifi-i ' '--'v ;■ ■■'•' *'- • '* ■;.'; '$, Speaking of smoking, I do not think that it is as offensive to the /women as it once was, : that is if the ; tobacco is good, for poor tobacco, : whether jinr a ; pipe or cigar, is an offense; in the nos trils of all. men aud women alike, and' 1 have 'no doubt it, too, "smells \to heaven."

Old mines are 'abandoned, placer diggings are deserted and there is a universal rush to get a share of the ■ new-found wealth. There; is something akin to this among the j delvers in the field of literature. Some genius strikes a new lead in fiction,' develops some novelty that tickles the dulled • palate of the reading public, and forthwith ensues a rush of other writers into the new field to work its deposits and flood the public with the novelties they find or create. James leaves the old paths of fiction and subordinates love and jeal ousy, virtue : and rascality to character analysis. Howells strips from fiction the glamour 'of rank or station and develops the romance of the commonplace and real, and each have numerous followers. The vein of dialect is struck, and immediately we are flooded with books in which the jargon of the negro, or the Creole, or the mountaineer is made the leading feat ure, and all else subordinated to it. Bellamy dresses "the dismal science" in the trills and frumpery of fiction, and there is a mad rush of ' writers into the field of social economic ; fiction, and books issue from the press galore in which the social theory of the writer is plainly and always seen under the thin gauze of romance. Fiction in all these efforts at economics made easy is what the sugar-coating is to the pill— a ' pal atable disguise for diagnoses of social ills and their conjectural remedies. _ P. J. S.
