A Houston (Texas) telegram reviewing

announces that the Republicans of Texas
are looking for a leader. It is rather funny

raises the query as to what has become of
"the old Nick" who has so long been at the
head of the column. The condition of the
party generally indicate the presence of
similar pangs, but Texas takes the cake
for speaking out in meeting. Can't some
one lend them a "bess."
AN OLD CASE REVIVEIi.
The legislature of.. Massachusetts, both
branches concurring, have adopted a reso
lution expunging the resolution passed by
a former legislature censuring Oakes
Ames for his Credit Mobilier bribery. The
expungatory resolution spoke in laudatory
terms of the integrity, ability and public
service of Mr. Ames, and goes to the
length of asking the national house of
representatives to take action of the same
kind. A sob of the late Mr. Ames, who oo
cupies a high public station in Massachu
setts, through his personal and official
influence prevailed upon the state legisla
ture to pass this resolution intended to re
move the cloud of censure from his fath
er's name. His filial interest is natural,
and though mistaken as to judgment is not
altogether to the discredit of his heart. It
■would have been better if the son had been
content to let the matter rest, and he has
Kecuned no tribute to the memory of his
dead father. The good that Mr. Am*s
did in hie private and public life-is remem
bered^ but his errors cannot be forgotten,
and history catmot bo- wiped out with a
s;>onge.
It is strange oven that the legislature
could have been induced to go so far as to
ask of the congressional house of repre
sentatives the passage of
a resolution of the intent to remove from
Oakes Ames the censure passed upon him
for having undertaken to influence the
votes of members of the House by distrib
uting among them Credit Mobilier stock.
Indeed tho original intention of the House
wastoexpal Mr. Ames, and a resolution
of expulsion was presented, but
under pressure it was withdrawn,
and the resolution of censure
substituted and passed. Whatever the
Massachusetts legislature may do, the con
gressional House cannot touch the subject,
and will not, unless to put on record its re
fusal to comply with the request. That
the exposure that fell upon Mr. Ames was
an awful one is very true, that it hastened
his life to a close is, to his
friends, if not to the world, a
sadly realized fact. How empty then are
resolutions passod by any body of men
when none of the facts can be disproved
and none of Mr Ames' admissions recalled.
He waa the tempter and the briber. He
leid the snare and men fell. He did not
outlive the scandal he created, and the on
ly effect of the action now taken is to more
indelibly stamp upon him the odium from
which there was no escape. This fresh
revival chases away the sweety char
ity of forgetfulness which might
well have been esteemed as the only meas
ure of relief possible. There were other
hearts that ached than that of Mr. Ames.
There was and is no measure of relief for
them. With striking force and charitable
delicacy the New York Times presents a
picture of the case that shows how futile
the thought to efface from the memory of
man the responsibility of Oakes Ames in
tho Credit Mobilier matter.
"it was unquestionably true that Mr. Ames
w;ts an ardent aud sincere patriot, and that the
work of building tho transcontinental railway
in which he was engaged was one of great na
tiunid importance. It was nevertheless true
tiiat members of congress were bribed by an al
lotment of Credit Mobilier uliares to vote for the
augmentation of the profits of those engagtxl in
that, mighty undertaking. The exposure of that
bribery ruined many reputations before unspot
ted. One gentleman, elegant, polished, scholar
ly, and a conscientious and consistent member
of the Democratic party, never lifted his head
after the exposure of the Credit Mobilier
scandal. He died of a broken heart. Another,
who hail filled a high office in the gift of the Re
publican party, and who, at tho end of a long
term in a federal office, was about engaging in
an enterprise of pith and moment, was laid low
by the bolt that fell, and he disappeared (while
yet in the prime of his manhood ) from the poli
tics of his country. Others were glad to find
in the obscurity of private life that immunity
from criticism, that shelter from derision, which
they could not ask or expect in the public serv
ice"
Tenderness for the dead and a human
regard for the conspicuous man who un
easily turns in his living grave, as well as
consideration for others whose lives were
blighted, should have prevented the harsh
policy that personal friends of Mr. Ames
have bean so unwise as to indulge. They
have played the stake of folly and over
whelmingly lost.
John Bbigiit, in his recent address at
the university of Glasgow, said that the
total of England's expenditure of the army,
and navy funds was £4,414.000,000, while
the civil expenditure was only £1,012,000,
--000. And yet Eugland is not "at
peace with all the world and the rest of
mankind," if we may credit the Broad
Arrow (British) which says that students
of tho times, who take a comprehensive
view of Europe, perceive that a great
war. in which England will have to play a
prominent part, is an event which, if we
are not yet within measureable distance of
it, is still taking visible form." The
threatening cloud is of course the so-called
European powers, "the collocation of
meddling despots." The kingdom upon
whose possessions the sun never sets can
nol atoid participation in the strife and
ckißh of battle, no matter from what
quarter the tocsin may be sounded.
Base Ball.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
Chicago. May 15.— Twenty-five hucdred peo
ple witnessed a very interesting game to-day, be
tween the New York club and the Chicagos, in
winch the latter won by a score of Bto 7. It
was anybody's same up to the last inning, when
tire home nine narrowly escaped a defeat by
putting out the third man with the bases full.
( '(♦reoran's work, as pitcher for the Chicagoe,
was superior to that <>f Gtaidsxnith. The New
Yorkers are the. newly admitted league club and
are weak in practice together. Burns, Pf offer
and Flint made soxe costly errors. Hankinsoii
covered tliiid b:ise for the visitors in a highly
aatiafacto y manner. Billy Furlong, an old tune
league umpir , acted to-day in that i apacity and
as somewhat severe on the pitch rs. The Chi
cagos opened well, with two runs in the first
aft r Ddlrymple had gone out. In the third in
ning the New Yorkers, Burns' fumble, gave
Haokinson a life; Cramer struck out, Swing
made a base hit; Connors got a base on called
balls, and Ward with three men on bases, as
win was thrown out at third, sent all home
with a swinging hit away over the center nelder'a
heads. The I 'hicagos followed with one run i,
the fourth and one in the fifth; in the sixth they
also knocked out three runs by clean hitting' anil
added one more run in the seventh inning. The
visitors captured three points n the eighth.
When the home team failed to score in the ninth
innin th game became very interestin ; Ewin
struck out, Connors made a base hit; wlule Con

Anson's bad error, (iillesp c got to first on

LITTLE DOSES.
The Anuual Meeting of ihe Minnesota
State Homoeopathic Institute— Papers
Keud and Discussions Had Kelative to
Kitten of luterest to the Profession.
The seventeenth annual meeting of this
Institute assembled in the senate cham
ber at the state house in this city yester
day afternoon, some fifty members of the
profession being present from all parts of
the state, the assemblage being an excep
tional one in intelligence and culture and
of more than ordinary personnel.
The meeting was called to order by
President S. H. Hawes, of Hastings, the
secretary and treasurer, Arthur A. Camp,
of Minneapolis, being present., and the
two vice-presidents notably absent. The
censors, I. A. Steele, of Minneapolis, C. S
Higbee, of St. Paul, and W. H. Came,'
Stillwater.
The executive committee, O. M. Humph
rey, of Minneapolis, and C. S. Higbee, of
St. Paul, aud W. E. Leonard, of tho pub
lishing committee were also in attendance.
Among the profession we also noticed
faoiM Minneapolis, W. D. Laurence, P. M.
Hall. Mary L. Swain, H. M. Brazee; St.
Paul, C. W. Dorion, Chas. Griswold, J. E.
Voak, Wm. L. Craddock, A. M. Eastman,
J. W. Routh, Jennie Fuller, Mary E Em
ery, W. S. Briggs; and D. H. Roberts of
Owatonna.
The following applied for membership
in the institute and were received: Wm. L.
Craddock, St. Paul, graduate of Hahn uni
versity, Philadelphia, 1879; Jennie Fuller
and Mary E. Emery, St. Paul, Boston uni
versity,lßß2; S. H. Arbuckle. Breckenridge,
H^hn university. Chicago, 1881; H. R.
Drisner, Waconia, Hahn, Chicago, 1883; A.
C. Dochester, Granite Falls, Hahn. Chica
go, 1881; A. T. Sherman, Anoka, New York
Homoeopathic college, 1875, and P. M. Hall,
Minneapolis, Hahn, Chicago, 1882.
The first reading of thesis was upon the
subject of snrjery, which was partici
pated in by W. G. Came, C. G. Higbes
and J. A. Steele, which were followed by
discussions upon matters of thought, ex
perience and research by the institute in
their order. Though of deep interest to
the profession, but one of these essays
would have much interest to the general
public, with the exception of that of Dr.
Steele on tho snbject of "Anal Fissures,"
who, contrary to all published modes of
practice, advocated the insertion of a sil
ver or rubber tube in the windpipe in all
cases of diphtheria.
The remainder of the afternoon session
was appropriated to the reading of papers,
one on "Infant Feeding," by Dr. A. A.
Camp, of Minneapolis; another on "Maras
muß"|by Dr. C W Crary of Lake City, a third
on "The use of Obstretric Forceps," by Dr.
C. G. Higbee, of St. Paul ; on "Practical
Midwifery," by Dr. D. H. Roberts, of Owa
tonna: on "Puerperal Convulsions," by Dr.
W\ D. Lawrence, of Minneapolis; and on
"The |SanitationJ of Jthe Room,"
by Dr. Charles Griswold, of St. Paul.
At the conclusion of this order of exer
cise the meeting adjourned until J7:30
p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
At the evening session the chair was «c
--cupied by D. H. Roberts, M. D., of Owa
tonna. Discussions on apthalmological
and olotogical subjects were continued
until this morning's session. A paper on
the confirmation of Jmental symptoms was
submitted by Dr. E. W. Leonard, in which
cases^of brain troubles were cited that had
been" successfully treated by homoeopathy.
He insisted that great care should be ex
ercised by physicians in their observation
of mental ennditions, if it was desired to
remedy their complaints. He was fol
lowed by Dr. Craddock, of St. Paul, who
presented a number of cases where mental
disorders had beea treated by him with
favorable results.
At the conclusion of the last spoaker's
remarks A. M. Eastman, M. D., also of St.
Paul, and chairman of the committee on
genito-urinary organs, read a paper on
Bright's disease of the kidneys, prepared
by Dr. Foster, of Minneapolis. He sup
plemented this by the presentation of an
article upon -'The Relations of UrinaJysis
to the Homoeopathic Materia Medica."
Dr. Leonarl alse spoke to the same ques
tion.
At this point the report of
the Hahnemann Medical society
of Hennepin county, Minnesota,
for the year 1882-83 was submitted by con
sent through Dr. W. E. Leonard. The re
port sets forth that in consequence of the
energies of the members hav
ing been diverted in the
establishment of a Homoeopathic
hospital at Minneapolis, the report sub
mitted was not as full as desired or could
otherwise have been made. The member
ship remained the same as last year, that
is twenty-three. Dr. S. P. Starritt had de
ceased January ;?, ISS3, and H. B. Ehh*r
had been elected a member at the April
meeting. The bureau of vital statistics
shows a comparative statement of deaths
under Homoeopathic and Allopathic treat
nient of cases of typhoid fever, pneumo
nia, and diphtheria with results claimed to
be favorable to the former. The deaths
under allopathic treatment were stated at
ninety-seven, while but eighteen deaths
occurred under homoeopathic physicians.
The comparative losses from pneumonia
in Minneapolis for twelve years end
ing December 1881 from the first
city health recsrds were as follows: Total
deaths f.51); treated by allopathic physi
cians, 447; homoeopathic physicians, 67;
died without medical attendance, 4G.
These figures, states the report, show
that nearly fiye-sixths of all the fatal
cases were patients of the all ipathic fra
ternity. Moreover their loss each year has
been to the homoeopathic as forty tojfive,or
eight to one, while in numbers and prac
tice the proportion had been very differ
ent,
The report was accepted and orderec
printed.
S. W. H. Came, of Stillwater, repertec
on the condition of the homcepathic hospit
al at that place. It had been diseontinuec
since November 2, ultimo, for lack of sup
port.
After the transaction of some further
business of a routine character, the meet
ing adjourned until 9 o'clock this morn
ing.
to-day's session.
The morning session to-day will open
at 9.30 o'clock when an hour will be de

AMUSEMENTS.
Thos.AV. Keene'a "Richelieu.'
A very large and most appreciative audi
ence gathered at the Opera house to wit
ness another representation by that great
delineator of Shakesperean character,
Thos. W. Keene. He appeared as Riche
lieu, and we have to congratulate him upon
the marked improvement in this role; in
deed, there ia such an improvement
that little chance is left for a comparison
between his Richelieu and that of the past,
or of other great tragedians who havo
visited us, in tact. He has also made some
most artistic changes in his make up,
which enhances the historical value of his
Richelieu. His third and fourth acts have
for their magnificent bursts of power, al
ways been greatly admired. Now they are
snoDger than ever, for he reaches his cli
maxes with much more skill than former
ly. But the most marked and gratifying
improvement is m the first three acts. It
would be difficult to imagine a finer piece
of acting than his goading DeMaaprat
into anger in order to read his true mo
tive, and his humorous enjoyment of that
person's astonishment is irresistable.
The old man's delight as he reminds De-
Mauprat "It takes the courage of the lion,"
is laden with the infection of the true gen
ius of comedy; and by what a grand trans
ition he passes to self gratulation in the
possession of power, lashing himself into
tho belief that it is his true love of France,
and in the tones of a lover might woo a
maid with ec3tacies, "My mistress, my
wedded wife, sweet France."
At various points of the perform
ance Mr. Keene was called
before the curtain, and for
his splendid rendition of the fourth act,
he was brought forward three times. Mr.
Keene was fortunate in having such a Do
Maaprat as Mr. Hagar and Baradas as
Mr. Moore; such a Joseph as that of Carl
Akrendt, (by the way a former resident of
the city) and especially such a Julie as
Miss Story.
Mr. Keene appears in a matinee per
formance at 2 p. m. to-day, when he can
be seen in his original and powerful de
lineation of Shylock in "The Merchant of
Vemece," concluding his present engage
ment in the evening with "Macbeth," by
many considered his greatest representa
tion.
The Jtrmenyi Concert.
The sale of seats will begin this morn
ing at 9 o'clock at the box office of the Op
era house for the grand Remenyi concert
to be given to-morrow (Thursday) evening.
This opportunity to hear one of the great
est violinists of the world is a rare one
and should not be missed by any music
lover in the city. The programme which
we published on Sunday *is an extraordina
ry one, embracing not only the choicest
pieces in his repertoire, but is interspersed
with rare selections by his entire concert
company, ,vith the addod attraction of that
star of the operatic world, Jessie Bartlett
Davis, who will sing two of the selections
for which she has received the most extra
ordinary laudations from the New York
press. This concert is one that will afford
unbounded delight to all who attend, and
the management, in order to afford every
body an opportunity to attend, have
placed the prices at the unprecedented fig
ure of seventy-five cents for the lower part
of the house and fifty cents for the gal
lery.
Tlir Uidden llkhiJ.
"The Hidden Hand." which will be pre
sented here on Friday and Saturday of this
week, is thus spoken of:
[Chicago Daily Herald.]
'•Whitely's 'vtiidden Hand" combination,
after a very successful season in the west,
seuthwest and south, made its first appear
ance in this city at the Academy last even
ing and attracted an audience that for
size and appreciation, has seldom been
equaled in this honse. The company's
production of the old-time sensational
drama. "Hidden Hand," is without doubt
the best ever witnessed in this city. The
version of the play was dramatized express
ly for Manager Whitely, the members of
the company were carefully selected, each
one being well fitted for the parts assigned
them, and the result is a smooth evenly
balanced, and meritorious performance
that is sure to please the most exacting
person. The plot of the drama is to well
known to be repeated at this late day. The
company, as before stated is an excellent
one. Miss Amy Lee, who assumes the
leading dual roles of Archie the newsboy,
and Capitola. is a singing soubrette of rare
excellence. She is young, pretty, viva
cious and has a fascinating way that makes
her a favorite from the first. Her asting
is commendable and her singing delight
ful She had bHt little difficulty in win
ning the admiration of tho audience. Dick
Oglesby made a very comical and satis
factory Wool. He was funny without over
doing the part, and added much to the
pleasure of the performance by his songs
and dances. George Deyo. C. B. Webster,
G. B. Mason, George Marion, Marguerite
Benison, Nettie Kellogg and one or two
others filled their parts creditably. The
introduction of a company of jubilee sing
ers in the realistic cotton-picking scene,
and tho educated donkey and pony, added
to the interest of the entertainment. The
scenery which the company carry with
them is very fine. The very few defeats in
the entire performance were so trifling as
not to mar it in the least. "Hidden Hand"
will be given all the week."
-Voff*.
Mr. Harry M. Clark, business manager
of Whitllay's "Hidden Hand" company,is in
the city completing arrangements for the
forthcoming engagemetatthe Opera house
on.Friday anJk Saturdaynext. Miss Amy Lee
who is the attraction of the organization,
is an actress of acknowledged ability. It
is a little singular that her father wrote
the original dramatization of the Hidden
Hand, and that her mother was the origi
nal Capitola, the role in which Miss Lee
now appears.
Mr. George A. Fair, representing M'lle.
Miska. the favorite Russian actress, is in
the city. His company will appear on
Monday and Tuesday evenings in the high
ly dramatic play of "Leonie, the Crown
Child," a drama based upon one of the
numerous Polish revolutions. Both ac
tress and play are highly spoken of by the
press.
Jessie Bartlett will sing "Lieta Signor,"
from Gli Ug oaotti, aad the late Arthur
Creswold - "Music of the waves" at the ap
roaching concerts of the Mendelssohn so
ciety in Minneapolis and this city. The
prima donna arrived from Chicago yester
day, and is quartered at the Merchants.
She will proceed to Minneapolis this af
ternoon and sing at the new Grand Opera
house to-night.

L,ontr Stride Forward— lmmediate Addi
tion* to be IMade to the Sluilding .
One of the largest and most important
taansfers of real property of this year of
large transactions, was consummated yes
terday, by the purchase of the Merchants
hotel property by Col. A. Allen, the popu
lar and successful manager of the house
for the past ten years, from Capt. M. L.
Potter, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The property
transferred comprises the five-story struc
ture, corner of Third and Jackson streets,
known as the Merchants hotel, occupying
a ground space of eighty-five feet on Third
street, with a wing of 220 feet on the alley
back of the Gilfillan block, and 185 feet on
Jackson street, the consideration being
$275,000.
The history and fame of the Merchants
hotel is closely allied with that of the rise
and progress of the city. Many
of the residents of to-day can recollect it
as a two story log straeture, occupying but
a small portion of the space now covered
by it. The transformation fr»m the small
log structure with its low ceilings, few and
cramped rooms, and plain but substantial
fare, to its present grand proportions,
large and richly furnished apartments
and popular and princely manage
ment, is but an index, a guide post as it
were, of the progress of the city from the
small hamlet to its present metropolitan
proportions, and to detail its history
would nearly approach a detailed history
of St. Paul.
Col. Allen, who has now become the
owner of this magnificent property, came
to Minnesota in its territorial days as a
manager and moving spirit
of the old stage lines, the pioneers of the
present comprehensive railroad system,
which has and is playing so prominent a
part in the development of Minnesota and
the Northwest.
Ten years ago, in 1873, Col. Allen leased
the house, then, comparatively speaking,
a modest sized hostelry, of Hon. C. D. Gil
fillan and Capt. Petter. A few years later
Capt. Potter became the sole proprieter by
purchase. In the ten years which Col.
Allen has managed the house, its accom
modations have been more than doubled
by extending the Jackson 6treet front, add
ing an additional story to the main build
ing as he found it, by a billiard room with
dining room above, 100 by 250
feet, and by the erection- of a
four-story building in the rear,
connected witn the main structure but cut
off from it by fire proof walls, for the
kitchen and accommodation of the help.
The present capacity of the house is 250
rooms, and rumor says that the transfer
grew out of a request of Col. Allen's upon
Capt. Potter for the erection of an addi
tion to the present stmctnre, to enable him
to meet the pressing demands upon him
for accomu odations, and a great waat of
the city for more hotel room. Whether
this be true or not, certain
it is that Col . AHen has his architect already
engaged upon plans for a fivo story addi
tion in the rear of the Jackson street front,
which will give him fifty additional rooms,
en sui c, which will be completed just us
soon as it can possiblj bo dene, the colonel's
intention being to hava it ready for occu
pancy in the next sixty or seventy days.
A large, light and airy reading
room will be added by the occupancy of
the room on Jackson street, now occupied
as a merchant tailoring establishment, the
colonel having purchased the lease. With
these additions Col. Allen thinks he can
fairly meet the hotel wants ef the city in
cident upon the growth of the city and the
country to the Northwest, but, to be sure,
plans will be made at once, and work com
menced as scon as the addition above
designated upon still another addition,
which will add sixty more rooms. These
two additions will consume the ground
space included in Col. Allen's purchase,
but there still remains added stories, for
which the superstructure was planned, and
such additional stories will be made as the
business shall seem to demand. la brief,
Col. Allen proposes to do his part toward
maintaining the reputation he has been
largely instrumental in securing for St.
Paul, of being the best hotel resort in the
Northwest. Personally superiutending the
details of its management, always atten
tive and especially tenacious that guests
should receive the fullest returns possible
for their expenditure?, courteous a/id ac
commodating, with a joviality that is 3ure
death to blues and homesickness, Col.
Allen has given to the Merchants a reputa
tion that has extended all over tho country,
north, south, east and we?t, and that has
gone far towards establishing ..the rep
utation accorded to St. Paul everywhere, of
being one of the most hespitable cities in
the Union. That Col. Allen may long be
spared to conduct the Merchants, and, by
additions from time to time, to keep it at
the front in the growth of the city and the
development ol the Northwest, is most de
voutly to be desired.
THE STAR ROUTE TKIAL.
Washington. May IS.— Wilson eontin
ned his address to the star route jury this
morning in behalf of Gen. Brady, taking
up the petitions. He a6ked kow Brady was
to know that the heads of petitions had
been written by Dorsey's employes. He
could not have known the hand-writing.
Then it made no difference who wrote the
head. The court itself had said Dorsey
had a right to do it so long as the signa
tures were genuine and that was beyond
question. This case shonld be tried upon the
evidence Gen. Brady had before him,
and not that caught in the prosecution's
drag net and sifted to suit their ends.
Wilson referred to the Bismarck-Tongue
river route as confirmatory o" his asser
tion that a route was net valuable solely
in proportion to the amount of receipts at
the termini. Letters passing daily over
that route bore stamps to the value of
more than $IGO. Yet the balance- sheets
offices on that route did net show sales of
Btamps to that amount. That tended to
prove a mutual dependence of the routes.
When John Dorsey went out to establish
that route he was forced to accept a mili
tary escort. Yet that same section
was now settled. Even the Custer :
battle field had been oeempied by thrifty ]
emigrants, yet the prosecution would have ' i
the jury believe that the service cost too j i
much. Brady refused to discontinue the i ]
service, and the contractor* lost $40,000 or ! !
$50,000, but that made no difference with i i
the prosecution. If he had left them out, ' ]
and if he had granted their request te dis- ! <
coEtinae the service, the go vernment would ! ]
have instanced that in proof of the con- ! i
a piracy. In reality Brady's course in re- ■ <
gard to the Bismarck route, was the best 1
proof there was not a conspiracy. Co-con- '
spiratore did not usually force one another
to lose monej. ]
The court adjourned before the conclu- \
sion of Wilson's address. 1

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS
ROYALLY HEM).
-I" Enthusiastic Reception Given Col. M,
H. Hit mi on Mia Jiff mil fron /lit East
ern Tour.
As announced in yesterday's Globe, tha
return of Col. M. W. Glenn from the three
weeks trip, in eastern cities studying and
inspecting municipal government institu
tions and improvements, was celebrated
in an auspicious at 7
last evening. The mounted patrol drew
up on Hennepin avenue, opposite the city
hall; directly in their rear was Brooks'
brigade band; next was a platform of six
teen poles, in charge of Drill Master Hill;
then followed eight hacks, filled with city
officials, reporters and prominent citizens.
In this order the line of march was taken
up to the depot, where, upon tha arrival
of the Chicago train, Col. Glenn wa9 met
in company with Mayor Ames, and quietly
escorted to a carriage in waiting, to the
martial music of the band. Tke proces
sion, together with a vast concourse of
people on foot and iv carriages, wended
its way to the Nicolltt house.
Leaving the hacks and carriages, the
city officials unceremoniously ascended to
the parlors, Mayor Ames, A. T. Ankeny,
C. M. Foote, Judge Mahoney, John T. Lee
and others escorted the gallant colonel to
the balcony, and in the meantime the
platoon of police and escort of the Ames
Zouaves had drawn up in the street in front,
and several thousand people had assem
bled and were waiting anxiously for the
opening of the ball.
Mayor Ames stepped to the front and
addressed the citizens and officers &:, fol
lows:
Fellow Citizens: I have the pleasure and
honor upon this occasion, of presenting to
you the Hon. M. W. Glenn, who has been
identified with the hignest honor with our
city legislature for the past twelve years,
and who has, at my instance aud request,
spent three weeks in Eastern cities, in
specting improvements of a nature applica •
ble to oar beautiful and prosperous city,
that he might impart the information so
gained to us, so that the whole city may
derive its particular benefits from it. Gen
tlemen, I here introduce ta you Col. Glenn,
the guest of the evening, who will address
you.
Col. Glenn spoke as follows:
My Fiuends and Fellow Citizens: After
the kind remarks of his honor, the mayor,
and this glorious reception which you have
tendered me, I acknowledge lam utterly
unwarned and unfit to address you as I
would wish. At the request of his honor,
the mayor, I have made a tour
of inspection throughout the eastern cities.
During my travel of three weeks I have
convinced myself, despite the cry of the
press of this city to the effect that I have
been on the wrong track the last twelve
years, that the improvements now in their
incipiency with which I am interested and
actively identified have been begun right.
I will return to you my sincere thanks for
this demonstration. My travel and work
have almost overcome me, and consequent
ly I cannot at this time speak at length.
At some future time I promise to address
you again. Thanking you for this mag
nificent expression of your regards I will
close.
Mayor Ames then proposed three cheers.
which were given with a will. A gentle
man among the spectators followed by
proposing three rousing cheers forhis houor
the mayor, and again the stately business
blocks re-echoed the hearty and enthusi
astic cheers.
Adjourning to the parlors the people
filed in for an hour and personally congrat
ulated 3lr. Glenn, and later on a large
party found their way to the spocious din
ing hall, where a sumptuous spread was iv
waiting, the band playing, a number of
fine selections in the corridor.
At the conclusion of the banquet Mayor
Ames arose and explained that a small
nucleus, no larger than a man's hand,
had developed into an ovation of a grand
magnitude. A fellow workman called
upon me from Col. Glenn's shops and
stated that he wished to tender the colonel
a little reception upon his return- This
was from what it started. This demon
stration illustrates the fact that it is still
the yeomanry which enjoys the papular
respect, esteem and friendship. After an
excellent, address the mayor introduced
Col Glenn.
He began by reiterating his balcony
assertion that he appreciated the generous
and hearty reception more than he had
words to express. This is the
proudest evening of my life. I
had never anticipated anything of
half this magnitude. It is no wonder, he
said, that my he;id is turned. If I say a
word which may appear inappropriate to
the occasion, it may be attributed to that.
He referred ferociously te the person.il at
t lck upon him by Deacon Nettleton,dealing
him some pretty hard hits, characteristic
of the colonel, and kept the assemblage in
constant laughter, and not infrequently
calling out vociferous applause. He spoke
glowingly in praise of Philadelphia, her
people, and especially of the handssma,
industrious and thrifty and estimable^la
dies. Mr. Glenn also spoke of the^water
works system of that city. Fair
mount park was graphically described,
and the speaker was convinced
by iss beauty. The city of Minneapolis had
been fortunate in securing a park system,
if the tax-payers did not find the expense
too burdensome. He found that the state
ment that all the eastern cities had aban
doned the granite block pavements and
adopted wood instead was a cruel canard.
He had gone to the principal cities an ad
vocate of cedar blocks. He had necessa
rily returned convinced that the only prac
tical material is granite. There is not a
foot of wood pavement in the city of
New York, uor have they any use for it.
He spoke of the social evil in the sinful
city. He did not think there was
sufficient power left in the Repub
lican party to control it. Was
it not for the Democratic government
everything would run riot. The bunko
steerers are thicker than blackberries. He
had the fortane to meet with friends who
conducted him safely through the gam
bling houses. He had seen as high as
$40,000 on the table at once, at an hour
when, according to the orders of the mayor
the houses were all ordered closed. He
inspeoted the saloons on Sunday. It cost
him fifty cents to pass a policeman at the
door. He said there was more intoxica
tion in New York on Sunday evening than
he saw at any time upon his entire trip.
It taught him the lesson that Americans
were bound to get their drink. The
Minneapolis fire and police departments
compare favorable with any he had seen in
bis travels. No fire department can re
spond with more alacrity than can and
iocs ours. Three yearß ago the streets in
the city of Buffalo were paved with wood,
fo-day they haven't one.
Mayor Ames introduced as an old war
tiorse and hard worker Aid. Matthew
Walsh. Mr. Walsh began by explaining
that he was happy to unite in the demon
stration, and do honor to the beloved lead
er, Co!. Glenn. He spoke of the organiza
:iou of the reception. He also spoke of the
phenomenal development of the city. Dur
ing the past thirty years Minneapolis had
frown from a wild Indian reservation to
i city of Bf>,ooo people. He spoke of his
ocsting here eighteea years ago. Our
levelopment has materialized principally
luring the past twelve years.
During th.it time our distingushed p-uest
has been actively engaged in local legisla
tion, and how much our city owes him is a
difficult question to determine.
Judge Ankeny represented the law. He
addressed himself first to Col. Glenn, then
to the assemblage. This gathering wa
not only intended as an honor to Mr.
Glenn, but wa3 intended to do themselves
justice and dischar^ an ;u:knowlfcdcred
duty to CDngregate and publicly acknowl
edge tha important services accomp
lished by him in the council. He spoke of
the efficiency of the various departments
and improvements in our city which were
greatly due tb the capable and effective
efforts of Aid. Glenn. Minneapolis never
had a council man better qualified to per
form his herculean work and yet no man
in the council has been more bitterly, more
shansefully and more villianously slander
ed by the looal press thau hi 3 our guest.
Judge Cochrane was next called upon,
and responded eloquently. He wished to
emphasize the idea of the workingmau be
ing recognized. He would gladly welcome
the day when we shall see a representative
workintjman in the presidents chair. He
spoke as a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat in
tolligentljr upon the political situation of
the day. He tendered the mayor a hand
some compliment as a broadguage admin
istrator, as a man whose harness in public
service i 3 almost as begrimed as is that of
Col. Glena.
Aid. Waitt was introduced, bat declined
to speak, being too full for utterance.
Hon, W. H. Grimshaw represented the
water board. He spoke of t!ie happy re
turn of Col. Glenn and of the electric: light
mast. He spoke principally of the future,
however, of the prospects of our proud
metropolis.
Hon. E. M. Wilson responded to the
sparkling water of our city. He took
pride as well as pleasure in 'tendering his
regards to the honored alderman, the ob
ject of the ceremony. He had known him
as long and as intimately as any gentle
man in the hall, and was not loth 4 to r.ssert
that during his twelve years' career as
a public man, not a word
can ba said against hi 3 honor,
He has been abased shamefully
by the press, but not a word has been said
nor has any one the terrerity to charge a
corrupt act. Mr. Wilson dul not believe
in requiring the aldermeu of the city to de
vote their time and energy in the interests
of the city for a mere nominal pittance,
and was glad to note the small increase
made by our legislature last winter.
Judge Mahoney being absent W. H.
Donahue, his law partner, responded in
stead, and sfoke eloquently of the worth
of Aid. Glenn as a law maker.
C. W. Cutts tendered his tribute of eu
logistic words. Hon. L. Fletcher being
called was received by applause. Ho was
surprised fit the spontaneovs oration, and
spoke of the time when Col. Glenn would
be the respected mayor of the city. He
had knowu the gentleman for many years.
He spoke »f the acts passed by
the legislature for tiie interest of
the city and wai so facetious withal as
to elicit hearty laughter and applause, he
realized the fact that he was among a very
limited few Republicans in the gathering—
the black sheep as i t were .
Roger Vail, of theGi.or,E. was called up
on to respond to the toast of the press, and
spoke briefly and pointedly. He recalled
the fact thatth3 press of tha city had been
extremely severe in their strictures, but
they have not dared charge Aid. Glenn
with a single dishonest act
C.M.Foote,of the water board, followed
in a handsome complimentary speech
which he tendered his friend, Col. Glenn,
and was heartily applauded.
Jacob Barge as the "*tatf smiu from the
Fourth ward," so alleged, was called out
to speak for tho German nation ility. jHe
aimed a number of hot shots at t ie news
papers of tho city, and was upr > irionsly
applauded at frequent imerva'3. We
being a nation of natioii3 ihe. Mayor
introduced as a warm person. 1 friend,
Alderman Hashow, . a Frenchman, who
spoke of the order,morality aud chas
tity of our city.
Mr. S. E. Olson represented the Scandi
navians, and made a happy and well re
ceived address.
P. H. McHortland responded to the
toast representing the Irish
nationality and he with the
balauce oould not refrain from elougizing
Col. Glenn and detailed the gallant officer's
war career and record which elicited en
thnsiastio applause.
David B. Johnson as a young attorney
of tho Hennepin bar, was at this juncture
called out. Hd is a goad speaker and
never fails to create an enthusiasm which
challenges competition. He went back to
the signing of the declaration of inde
pendence and came rapidly down to the
present administration and spoke olo
qnently as a Democrat. His was aa ef
fective address and challenged the most
profound attention.
gJas. Lawrence, who had recently entered
the banquet hall and partook of
the chain] agne wai called ont, and spoke
so humorously that he was applauded en
thusiastically, and closed with the usual
tribute to Col. Glenn.
Ed. A Stevens was called out amid the
loudest applause, and followed as happily
as the occasion required.
Henry Burke, of the East side, next made
an effective and impressive address, and
acknowledged frankly that he expected to
be called upon. He related an instance to
his own knowledge, going to show the gen
erosity and kindness of Col. Glenn, iv be
friending a youth to whom he was an en
tire stranger, when his distress was made
known to him.
John T. Lte the u«sxt speaker, commen
ced by relating a humorous incident rela
tive to himself which took place on last
election day. The speaker said it was his
honest conviction that if the Republican
press continue to berate Col. Glenn in the
fnture as they have done heretofore they
will contribute in no small degree to event
ually elect him governor of the state of
Minnesota, for in proportion as they mis
represent and abuse him the people will
honor and esteem him for the splendid
service he has rendered our thriv
sng and magnificent city during
the twelve years he has been a public offi
cer. Ho concluded by saying he was
proud of Minneapolis and of being one of
its citizens.
The last speaker was Mr. Dunnington,
who spoke briefly and expressed the hope
that the next president of our proud re
public will be elected by the Democratic
party. It being now 11:30 o'clock the hap
py affair was brought to a termination,
Mr. Glenn again thanking his friends for
the magnificent ovation tendered him.

Chicago, May 15. — It is rumored in rail
way circles that as a result of the misun
derstanding between the eastern tiank
lines and board'of trade, which caused the
exclusion of the agents of those roads Tom
the floor exchange, the shippers of grain
on the board have combined for the pur
pose of breaking the east bound pool, and
that to thi3 end they are sending all'their
consignments by three lines, thereby civ
ing them nearly all this class of freight and
leaving the remaining lines with light traf
fic. The natural result of this is to create
distrust on the part of the neglected lines
that the others are cutting rates or offer
ing special inducement*.
