FRIDAY, APRIL. 27. 1900. F.iWY IS FIGURED OUT. The Minneapolis Journal gentleman Upon whom has fallen the mantle of po litical prescience formerly worn by that seventh son of a seventh son, Jerry Jay, cast the political horoscope of the Repub lican candidates for congress in the Sev enth district the other day, and according to his calculations Congressman Frank M. Evitly has small chance of securing a renomlnatlon. The Journal's political seer gives to Eddy the counties of Ros eau, Norman, Big Stone, Pope, Douglas, and probably Swift, but he is not o.uite ■! about Swift. To Ezra G. Valentine, one of Eddy's o!ii""-;'nt3 for the nomination, he gives the counties of Kittson, Polk, Clay, Wil kin. Grant, Stevens and Kandiyohi. T.i Dr. Cole he gives Otter Tail county, and he considers the counties of Red Becker and Traverse either doubt ful or without preference. If the figures of the Journal's prophet lire to be accepted as correct, or nearly correct. Congressman Eddy Is more likely than not to be beaten in the convention. In fact, it is not easy to see how he can win endec such conditions. The Seventh district republican convention, which w.ll be he! .1 at Moorhead on Tuesday, May 15, will be composed of 188 delegates. With the six counties the Journal gives to him, Eddy would only have Gl delegates, this aumber including the 10 delegates of Swift county, which it is claimed is not for Eddy. If Eddy secured the cc from all four of the doubtful counties, he would secure the nomination with ooty one vote to spare, but the Jour nal h >kls out no hope that Eddy could capture all the doubtful counties, and to lose any one of them would leave him short of the 95 votes necessary for a nom ilU\t I.)!!. Mr. Valentine shows up In the Jour nal's list with seven counties sure, which would give him 73 delegates, and he would need three of the doubtful coun ties to help him to the nomination, if there was a straight three-cornered fight. But Dr. Cole is given Otter Tail county. with Its 19 delegates, and the Journal prophet says that if Cole's chances for the nomination are seen to be impos sßtle on the first ballot, the 19 votes of Otter Tail will go to Valentine, giving him 92 votes, with his seven "sure coun ties," or only three short of the num ber required to nominate. And it is rea sonable to suppose that he would have many more than three delegates from the four doubtful counties. These are figures for Congressman Eddy to cogitate over. They are drawn from Republican sources and from a Republican newspaper as impartial as the Minneapolis Journal. True, the writer of the Journal's article did not give the ac tual figures, but he gives the actual counties.and the delegations to which the different counties are entitled are taken from the official call for the convention. Perhaps if the writer of the Journal's article had stopped to weigh his predic tion and digged up the figures he would not have defeated Mr. Eddy so rudely and thus prematurely. Out of considera tion for a brother Republican, he might have softened the blow somewhat and placed a few more counties in the doubt ful column. But there it is, and it can not now be withdrawn. Eddy Is already defeated, for th" Minneapolis Journal's political prophet says so, and he knows. The Globe thought something serious was going to happen to the Seventh dis trict congressman when he wrote so many letters. Letter writing is a fatal symptom ia politicians. THE MORAL EFFECT OF TRUSTS. Whatever may be the position taken by the leaders of organized labor towards the trusts, there is no doubt that the condition of the workingman has not been improved since these large aggregations of capital and corporate power have reached their present dimensions. The arbitrary closing down of mills and fac tories by the trusts, in order to regulate production and prices, has made employ ment so unstable that the man who works for a trust cannot tell whether or not on the morrow he will be allowed to earn the daily bread for himself and his family. The dictum of a trust magnate, with whom the workmen never come in con tact, and who is governed solely by the desire to secure dividends for stockhold ers, regardless of the Interests or neces sities of the workmen, may at any time result In thousands of men being thrown out of employment, as, for Instance, In the case of the twelve mills of the Ameri can Steel and Wire company and the three Joliet rod mills. Under the reign of the trusts there are absolutely no relations, either friendly or otherwise, between the employer and the employed. The absentee employer Is a soulless, impersonal thing with whom the workmen can never come into touch. He • is heard from, but never seen. The fore men and managers are no better off In this respect than the laborer. The skilled artisan now feels that, however he may exert himself and use his hand and brain for the benefit of his employer, there Is no personal employer to appreciate Ms efforts. Faithful service may become a forgotten virtue under this baleful sys tem, for human nature, however con scientious and self-sacrificing, demands some measure of appreciation to sustain it. If the financial and commercial effects of trust 3 are regarded as a national danger, their moral effect is nothing short of a national calamity. THE PESMANEXT MILITARY STAFF EVIL. The military clique at Washington which has dominated the affairs of the -war department is on ■ the verge of hys terics. Secretary Root lias made the statement to a senate committee that there is not a man in any staff corps in Washington that would not be benefited by going back to the line and spending a full year of service there. He has ad mitted the existence of inefficiency in the members of the general staff, and that the service would be greatly improv ed by returning staff members to the line at the expiration of four years' staff service. It is notorious that the clique which rules the war office, and composes the so-called general staff, is about as use less as a fifth wheel to a wagon. Staff appointments have, in the majority of cases, been secured through political in fluence regardless of fitness or ability. Many staff members have held their places so long that they are no longer in touch with the army, and age has greatly impaired any usefulness they once had. The work of the war office which these incompetents were .supposed to perform has been performed by clerical subalterns who have issued intolerable orders to good and useful soldiers in the line to the great detriment of the service. All manner of wire pulling in the staff service has been going on for years, and the result has been that the incapabies are in high places In most instances. The result of all this was shown in the reve lations made in the Eagan investigation and the scandalous exposures attending the Spanish war. Every nation which indulges in the luxury of a permanent general staff suf fers more or less from its existence, and if the high standard which the army of the United States has achieved is to be maintained there must be no permanent staff, and a stated period of staff service must be substituted for the present de moralizing system. POPULAR SIMMER AMUSEMENTS. The summer season la now approaching, the season of outdoor sports ami recrea tion, and St. Paul finds itself minus a professional league baseball club. St. Paul mourns its baseball lost, and it is not entirely to blame for the exodus of the brilliant but tantalizing Charles Comiskey, who was ever promising vic tories and forever slipping tip. Comis key wounded the St. Paul fans in their tenderest spot when his cub failed tj pul verize the Minneapolis outfit, and that ( was his undoing. Interest in his cub fell off and remained off for that reason and no other, and the attendance at the games followed suit. The mere fact that Comiskey couldn't help it was neither solace nor excuse, and he paid the penal- tfHE ST. PAUI, GLOBE, FRIDAY, APRIL £?, 1900. ty of failure. He Is making lovers of baseball pay the penalty this year. But it is not alone as to bas jb.ill that the lovers of outdoor sports arc suffer-" ers. The horse races which were the glory of the sport-loving fraternity in St. Paul are no longer held. The Twin City Jockey club meeting Is a tiling of the past. True, there are races at the state fair, but they have not been the kind that attracted the sport-loving communi ty. There is golf, and bicycle races, la crosse- and cricket; but golf is exclusive; bicycle races are all very well—in their way—for people that sell bicycles; la crosse, though a fine, exciting game, id not yet acclimated, and cricket does not attract many except the players them selves. The boat club does not seem to do as much as it might to amuse the public, although it has a magnificent stretch of water available. But, for some reason or other, it has not popularized itself, de spite the victories It has won in foreign waters. Altogether St. Paul does not enjoy as full a supply of popular outdoor sports as it might, and it is hoped that, in tha interests of every one, some effort will be made this year to give the people more exhilarating open-air amusements and more pleasures. One feature that the Globe would like to see revived is the open-air band concerts tn the pub lic parks on weelr nights or Saturday afternoons, and, considering their small cost as compared with the amount of en joyment they furnish, they are well worth the money. A. NSW OBJECTION TO EQUAL SUF FRAGE. Can a woman be a vagrant In the eyes of tha law? Justice Martin, of Chicago, says not, and he refused to convict a woman who was brought before him charged with vagrancy. His decision ap pears to be based on the fact that there is no law In Illinois which is intended to compel a woman to work to support her family. If she has property she can be compelled to use a portion of It for the support, of her children, but If she has no property she cannot be prosecuted for non-support of her family or compelled to work to support her children. There fore she cannot become a vagrant In the eyes of the law, as can a man, who may bo prosecuted for non-support of his family, compelled to work or be charged with vagrancy. If this decision of Justice Martin Is sound law. It indicates that woman 13 regarded by the law as a dependent, and, as such-, not bearing the responsibilities Imposed on a man. At least this Is the view taken of It by a society known as the Anti-Suffrage society, which la op posed to the extension of the franchise to women. This society claims that a woman should not go out to work or be sent out, and. as a matter of fact, the law does, not expect her to work, a» it does a man. It has seized upon the de cision of Justice Martin and Is using It with considerable effect In It 3 campaign against equal suffrage. This society also claims- that the object of socialistic writ ers In advocating Industrial and political equality of the sexes is to discourage monogamlc marriages and to destroy the home life of the nation. The arguments It advances are not new, but the new phase opened by the decision of the Chi cago court will add a little variety and spice to the controversy and 1 raise other objections to female suffrage, which has heretofore depended largely for its argu ment upon the proposition that a woman holding property and paying taxes should be given representation and a vote. WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY THEY FIRST MAKE MAD. WAS IT TOR THIS REASON THAT M'CARDY AS" SAIIED THE FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS? The curves of the great baseball pitch er, Rusle, have finally been solved. Mrs. Rusie says, in her petition for divorce, that he has too many inshoots and high balls and drops to keep sober, and the court allowed her $100, and told her to take her base on her husband's errors. The Filipinos are taking- an unfair ad vantage of the Republican platform makers. There has been more fighting in. the Philippines since the average state convention platform announced the sub jugation of the Filipino than at any time since the trouble commenced. And now the ship that went in search of that lost island is also missing.

Arrangements were made for the Democrats of the lower end of the ward to meet at 343 East Seventh street and then march to Seventh and Jackson streets, where they will join marchers from other parts of the ward. The parade will start for the Auditorium at 7:45 o'clock. There will be a brass band in the lead, with transparencies scattered through the line. Or Corbtn. Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

(Translation of the Volkzeltung Article.) "ALREADY YET!" And as expected, so it came. At the very last moment, Just before the voter la to cast his ballot In the present elec tion, the Dispatch, the "noble" party organ, bends the supple hinges of the knee to the German voters of the city, and. begß them not to forget their well known and hlgrhly-prlzed political honor and honesty and to refrain from entering the camp of the enemy. The Germans, so says the Dispatch of last evening, are recognized as the brightest, most progres sive and able of all our foreign-born citizens, etc., and then draws lta own con clusions to the effect that the Germans will vote for no other candidates than those Indorsed by the Dispatch. What is the result? Has the Dispatch noticed the flaming handwriting on the wall, in which the German citizens have expressed their disgust with the unpardonable at tacks made on honorable Germans—the German people generally—a warfare in which the Dispatch has proved Itself an adept entitled to the highest credit. It almost seems so! With soft-gloved hands it pats the German voter on the back, well realizing that in his hands lies the control of the situation in the present contest. It presses to its bosom the fond hope that at the very last moment the German voter may be won over by shal low praise. After May 1 the old war cry of "D n the Dutch" will again be the slogan cry of the organ. Does the Dispatch really believe that a single friendly (?) word is sufficient to attone for the inexcusable attacks on the Ger man people of St. Paul, reflected in al most every issue of the paper during the last week or months. The reference to "Col. Kiefer and his Hessian friends" Is not forgotten "al ready yet." The article of last evening was an in sult from beginning to end to all the good qualities of the Germans referred to by the Dispatch, for it seems to imply that the Germans would forego the pleas ure they would find in punishing at the polls the author of the insults by dis carding in part at least the special pets of the organ. As a rule, the honest Ger man Is in the habit of drawing his own conclusions after a due survey of the field, and is not likely to be influenced by party organs, especially such as show their friendship only "when in need." This the Dispatch will fully realize when the sun sets on the Ist of May "already yet." MUSIC AND THE STAGE. METROPOLITAN. Ignace Paderewski, the world-famed Polish pianist, with his sandy circlet of lustreless hair, his strangely interesting and compelling personality, played and charmed a St. Paul audience last evening at the Metropolitan opera house after an absence of your years. The audience, while not one of the largest, on account of the high price of admission, was en thusiastic and appreciative to a high de gree, and applauded to the echo at dif ferent points throughout the programme, a trying one, constructed to give a fair resume of the intellectual, aesthetic and brilliant aspects of various schools of ptamo playing. The Bach-Liszt- "Prelude and Fugue" was the opening number, and was both a storm and a calm. The prelude was given with breadth and clangor that savored of the Liszt side of it. The slim fugue statement grew undt?r the molding fingers of the pianist until the majesty of its proclamation at the close was stupendous. Pedaled as if at the organ bench, Paderewski draws from the instrument a dynamic range of tone that is unequaled. Beethoven's G minor Sonata, Op. 111. was supernatural ly glorified into sublimity through Pad erewskl's Idealization of the work, and epithets are used with greater right about this sonata, and the listener lifted to a higher sphere, than any of the other works. Beethoven knew how to write equally, perfectly, as clearly; Paderew ski finds musical expression, passionate ly, pathetically and elegiacally, in every delicate emotion of the soul. In the Schumann's Op. 11. he trod territory he was made free of by his temperamental genius. The sonata was beautifully play ed, eloquent in its superb strides and structure. The Chopin section of the pro gramme was rich in tone poems and lyric gems. ~G- s- The sale of seats for the engagement of Henry living and Ellen Terry at the Metropolitan next week opened yesterday morning, and a long line of ticket buyers at the box office all day indicated the interest aroused by the famous stars. The sale, as was natural, was heaviest for the opening performance Monday night, "Robespierre," although hundreds of seats were sold for the Tuesday and Wednesday peformance3 The bill for Tuesday evening will be "Nance Oldflald" and "The Bells," with "The Merchant of Venice" for the closing performan.e Wednesday night. "The Village Postmaster," one of tno best examples of modern rural drama, and a companion play to 'The Old Home stead" and "Shore Acres," will open ;\ brief engagement at the Metropolitan op era hou?e tonight. A popular piice mat jnee will be played tomorrow afternoon, and the engagement will close with the performance tomorrow night. Archie Boyd, who takes the title role, Is a thor ough character actor, who has made him self prominent with his long connection with Denman Thompson's part in "The Old Homestead" and Uncle Nat in "Shore Acres." "A Hot Old Time" continues to please theater goers in no uncertain measur-) at the Grand opera house. Dorothy Drew. who sings 'Td Leave My Happy Home for You," and dancea in a most fetching manner, provides one of the most pleas ■ ng specialties of the performance. To morrow at 2:30 the only remaining mat inee of the engagement will oocur. "Hello Bill" is the title of the new vaudeville farce which will be presented at the Grand for one week beginning Sun day evening. April 29. Frank J. Hallo and Marie Madison are the au hois.

The evils which the city has suffered in the past four years from the Incumbency of faithless and incompetent public officials have been so numerous and far-reachingr that no man of ordinary intelligence and honesty can fail to have realized their damaging- effects upon the city's interest. One grand united effort should be made to rescup the city from the rule of this class, and while it may not be successful in every case even a partial success will be worth all the experiment will cost. Let no man who has the pork! of the city at heart fail to do his full part in this direction at the ensuing city election, and we shall see an improvement that encourages stronger efforts to secure a clean and honest administration of mu nicipal affairs, a competent police force, an assessor that won't be employed by a lar^e brewery, an assembly and com mon council that won't be owned body and soul by the street raiiroads, sas anil telephone companies in the future. —Non-Partisan In City Affnirs. St. Paul. April 25. JENSEN'S LAME EXCUSE HE HAD LITTLES TO OFFER FOR HIS CONDUCT. Chairman James C. Michael, of the Democratic party, and City Clerk Matt Jensen, had a duel of words thlg morn ing la front of tne court house, and an interested group of politicians enjoyed the bout. It all turned on the action of the city clerk In recognizing the Bell candidates by giving them the second place on the printed ballot. Michael remarked that Jensen's con duct in this behalf was a high handed outrage. "I did what I thought waa right," said Jensen. "None from your party ever spoke to me In the matter. Evidently you thought that I would do Just what has been done." "I waa satisfied your office would give ua the worst of It, Just as It al ways has," said Michael, with consider able severity. "Two years ago we had to drag you before the court to have you undo Just such a dirty piece of business as this is." "I thought I—" stammered Jensen, bad ly rattled. "You knew our nominations were filed first, did you not?" inquired Michael. "Yes, that Is true," "You knew also that these nominations represented ninety-nine hundredths of the Democratic party?" continued Mi chael. No answer. "Yet in the face of all this you have the hardihood to give these Bell candi dates second on the ballot?" "I used my best judgment," whimper ed Jensen. "You used the judgment of Woodruff and Markham, together with your own, for you three have been consulting with one another for some time," said Michael. "How the representative of a party that prides Itself on having a majority of the brains, intelligence and conscience of the community could pull off such a dastard ly piece of business, I cannot under stand." This last shot was too much for the pliant tool of the grand old party, who slunk away and juir.ed his old pal, Klrke, on the corner. POPI'LAR WINN POWERS. Sketch of One of the Next Assem- blymen of St. Paul. Winn Powers, the enterprising and suc cessful publisher of the Odd Fellow Re view, who is a candidate for the assem bly, was born In Williams county, Ohio, April 29. 1861. His father belongs to that class of men whose industry has made the progress of mankind, and until the / „ 'T-if^fe. VBHBH * i V mmmm*. *■■/ WINN POWERS. age of nineteen his life was spent work ing on a farm in the summer season and attending district schools in the winters. At this age, not satisfied with his educa tional advantages, and having obtained permission of his father, Winn com menced to work for himself for the pur pose of getting- a better education. He attended several terms of school at Free mont, and completed his education by graduating- from the business department of the Ohio Wesleyan university. He came to St. Paul in October, ISS4. and has been puccessful in business ever since. Ten years ago he built a fine home in the Midway di-trict, and as a business man and taxpayer believes that he has learned some of the needs of the city and if elected, it is conceded by all, that he is eminently qualified to fill the re sponsible position of assemblyman. PALMER AS ATTORNEY. He I» KiiK-uKcd as Coanitel for Pott * jrieser et Al. The effect of the decision of the su preme court was that the judges of tho district court had the authority under the section to order City Clerk Jensen to appear in court and show cause why the names of certain persons which he had placed wrongfully on the official bal lot should not be stricken off. Applica tion had been made to Judge Bunn on Tuesday by attorneys representing: the Democratic City and County organization, and an order issued requiring City Clerk Jensen to appear and show cause why the names of persons alleged to have been nominated in a convention, and after whose names the word Democrat appear ed, should not be stricken from the of ficial ballot. In order to await the de cision of the supreme court on the ques tion of the legality of the section, under which application was made to the dis trict court, the hearing on the order in the district court had to be continued. It was set for hearing in the district court yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and when the hour arrived the news of the decision of the supreme court sustaining the constitutionality of the law was con veyed to Judge Bunn by John H. Ives, one of the attorneys who argupd the case in the supreme court. F. G. B. Woodruff, representing J. M. Pottgleser and other candidates who had been placed wrongfully on the official bal lot by the city clerk, was promptly on hand when Judge Bunn took his seat on the bench In court room No. 3, at 10 o'clock. With Woodruff was Attorney T. R. Palmer, who, addressing the court, said he had been called upon to assist in the case, but had not had the time to give even a cursory examination of the papers. Unless it would work a hard ship, he roa'K'sted the court to grant a continuance until 2 o'clock. John H. Ives said he had no objection to a continuance, but suggested that a de lay might prevent the printing of the official ballots in time for the election. City Clerk Jensen, who was present, stated that the work of printing the bal lots would have to be commenced Fri day morning in order to have them ready for the judges on Monday. He said he had been so advised by the printer. Judge Bunn asked as to the decision of the supreme court on tho writ of prohi biilon, and the constitutionality of the law, and was informed as to the decision by Mr. Ives. Mr. Woodruff was particularly anxious to know if the court had passed on the constitutionality of tho law. or whether it had simply denied the writ asked for. Mr. Ives assun- 1 Wocdruff that not only had the writ been denied, but that the supreme court had held the section con stitutional. With the understanding that Mr. Pal mar would be ready at 2 o'clock to pro ceed. Judge I'.imn adjourned the hear ing to that hour. CAMPAIGN NOTES.
