The stock board was out of order yesterday ■nd the market was feverish, irregular and active Tor a few leading stocks all day. Stories were liberal!? circulated to influence sales, and when ;ontradirted they still continned to have about the same effect. The Paciuc Mail led the list in j activity and advance in quotations, and the price continually moved upward without regard to the rest of the market. The report was started that the Union Pacific would withdraw the notice of discontinuing the subsidy to the Pacific Mail. There was gome delay in making the denial, and when it was m ide it did not have much effect. The leading weak stock was Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul.

We actually feel sorry for the Pioneer Press tnat .it is compelled to live in such a horrid city as it represents St. Paul to be. It lies awake of nights deploring its dreadful fate, and day by day its. columns, chew over j the tax-ridden and rum-besotted condition of the place. The only gleam of satisfaction that peers through the gloom which bangs over our contemporary is, that just across the river is a city of Utopian splendor where the ! weary are at rest and the wicked cease from troubling — where there are no taxes and no groggeries. If Minneapolis is not advertised as the most attractive city on earth and St. Paul paraded as the most disreputable ranch in the West it will be no fault of the Pioneer Press. For there is scarcely a day but St. Paul's city government is presented in its columns in blackest colors, while our twin sister on the other side of the river is held up as the exemplar of all that is good and virtuous. Now, we do not propose to detract one par ticle from the reputation Minneapolis enjoys and deserves, but would rather aid in weav ing fresh garlands in the cnaplet of beauty aud virtuous fame which she wears, but we do insist that justice shall be done to St. Paul. We isk our contemporary to lay aside its partisan bias and political prejudice for a little while and sit down with us while we reason together. The fact that Minneap olis has a Republican city government while St. Paul's municipal affairs are controlled by Democrats should have no bearing in the discussion of matters pertaining to the wel fare of the two cities. While we would like to see our Democratic friends over the river come into control of the municipal govern ment of .Minneapolis, and we believe they will do so at an early day, still we would not encourage them, in order to accomplish that end, to besmirch the reputation of their city and to publish it to the world as a rotten sink of iniquity, when it didn't deserve such a publication. Rather than see such gross injustice inflicted upon the ci.'.y, we would prefer that it should remain in the bands of the Republicans forever. And every fair minded citizen, whether he be Republican or Democrat, must have the same feel ing toward St. Paul. Our mater ial interests are of greater consequence than the domination of any political party. St. Paul is a young city, and within a few years has grown into power and greatness. It 3 rapid growth and prosperous career is the marvel of the age. Its prospect for contin ued growth and future prosperity is all that its most ardent friends could wish. And yet it has come up to its present plane of glory and prosperity under Democratic man agement. There is nothing can impede its future expansion, except assaults like those made by the Pioneer Press. From this wooden horse which has been admitted with in the gates of our Troy are issuing: columns dealing destruction to our enterprises and blighting the life of our prosperity. While we are not disposed to controvert anything the Pioneer Press says about the good record of Minneapolis, still we would like to a3k our contemporary to tell us frank ly how much lower is the rate of taxation for municipal purposes in Minneapolis than it is in St. Paul, and while it is at it also tell us how much more of a premium do Minneapo lis bonds command than St. Paul bonds do? We pause for a reply. Montreal is going to wrestle with Chicago for the live stock trade. Whenever a town gets down everybody wants to jump on it. And now that Mkki.v ana Gallagher are about to remove to Joliet, all the rival towns are putting nails In their boots to trample the life out of Chicago because they think she has no enterprising people to hold her flag Thr re-election of Messrs. Black and Jenkins by the unanimous vote of the tire commissioners was a deserved compliment to those two excellent ollicers of - our fire de partment. Mainly through their skill, energy and efficiency the department has been brought up to its metropolitan standard.

Pieucs. of Dakota baa designated Wednesday, April 15, m arbor day, and urges the people of the territory to observe the occasion according to the spirit of the set of the legislature providing for the same. The too thrifty locust and the unavailable cottonwood were frowned down by the body legislative, as they deserved to be. The arbor law has proven to be a good thing for a treeless territory iv the case of Nebraska, which, despite the frigid winter and the de structive blizzard and tbe seasonable cyclone, has been made to bristle with beautiful groves, and the barren landscape to take on the beauties of park features. A due observ ance of arbor day and the letter and spirit of the tree-culture act would result in changing the whole aspect of the great territory of Dakota, making the monotonous landscape of prairie take on the semblance of a well wooded state. Kvery farm In Dakota could be greatly enhanced in value by the olant lng and care of trees. Groves would not only beautify ' the laudscapc but provide a means for supplying furl and protection for stock against the exigencies of Jhe climate, and what is herein written of Dakota applies with equal force to Minnesota. Nobody who has a farm, a garden or a spa.i'U* yard fchould wait for arDor day, but when the sea son favors and the weather in propitious pro ceed to plant trees, selecting truit-bexring trees wherever the conditions are favorable, for then a double purpose may be subserved.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24 ISSS LABOR PROBLEMS TO BE IXYEBTI ']: GATED. , Col. WuiGHT.chief of the new labor bureau, ' has outlined the work of bis bureau for the < ensuing year, and his plans have received : the hearty approval of Secretary Lamar. The main object of the year's work will be to '■ ascertain the cause of industrial depression, i and an inquiry is to be made whether they are contemporaneous in the great producing ] countries, whether they are much, alike in i periodicity, severity and duration in different parts, of the world and whether they are pre- ; ceded by signs which hereafter may be re^ garded as a warning of their approach. The I cost of living and the rate of wages in differ ent countries must be considered and espec- ■ ial attention must be given to the effect of ''corners" upon the world's industrial condition. Eminent financiers ■ have attributed to "corners" a conspicuous part in the demoralization of business, and it is fortunate that their relation to the wel fare of labor is to be investigated by the de partment. Col. Whisht is said to be cmi . nently qualified for the position he occupies .it the head of the labor bureau. The New York Mail and Express says he i» the ablest : statistician in the country, and he may be i expeqted not only to obtain facts, but also to put. them in such relations that they will re veal the true condition of the people and < indicate what needs to be done for its im provement. He expects to report to con gress early in 18S6 classified information which may be useful in the legislation of the session then in progress. The hearty unanimity with which the ad ministration reached the result of retiring " Assistant Postmaster General Crosby from his responsibilities in that department meets with general commendation. He had no practical knowledge of the duties of his re sponsible trust, and figureheads are not popular with the present practical adminis tration, which prefers workers. The policy of removing redundancies from the various departments is striking terror and dismay to the drones now in, and to those who want to secure these sinecures as well. ZrEBACH, the squatter governor of Dakota, is said to be en route to Washington to urge his claims to th.- Pierce succession. T,he experience of those who have been there is that the farther an applicant is from the seat of govern the more likely he is to be called. A candidate should be capable of hearing a call at long range if he would succeed in his aspirations. The principle of the office seeking the man is at last receiving a practical application under Democratic , domination. Modest men are getting to the front now. Tiie officious under secretary who made an evasive statement of the situation in Af ghanistan was called down by the opposition last evening by a round of jeers which he richly deserved. The popular demand in Rutland is to know what is going to be done by the Gladstone government, not only on the northern confines of India, but in Sou dan and Egypt as well. The government policy has been invested in an air of mystery until thn people have grown restive and would gladly welcome the restoration of the Disraeli jingoism with is specious promises and disappointing results. It appears from the Washington specials that there is a general clamor from the terri tory of Montana for the removal of Gov. B. Pi,att Carpenter. It seems somewhat sin gular that the late President Arthur had been so unfortunate as to force upon the great Montana territory . two executive of ficers in succession so obnoxious to the masses as J. Sciiuyler Crosby and B. Pi.att Carpenter. The one was a chum and the other a chump companion of the late presi dent. Neither of these men had the slight est conception of the duties of the office and both made breaks from which the territory must suffer In silence until it can recover it self under the ad ministration of an appoint ment made by President Cleveland from within the territory in the interest of the public service. This is one of the changes which President Cleveland will be justified in making at the earliest practicable mo ment. To nominate a good Montanian to succeed Carpenter would come under the classification of a change for cause. And it is a change that cannot be made a day too soon. DEATH OF BOX. EDWARD D.CLARK. The country had hardly done congratulat ing itself upon the appointment of Mr. Clark to the position of assistant secretary of the interior when it is startled by the sad an nouncement of his death. Mr. Clark was born iv Mississippi and his entire life has been spent in his native state. He was a young man in the prime and vigor of a use ful life and had risen to eminence in the profession of law. Iv his political views he was a progressive Democrat and was a valua ble leader of public sentiment in the young South, and bis loss is a severe one to his sec tion. A little over two weeks ago he received his appointment as assistant secretary of the Interior department. He hurried nil to Washington to enter upon the discharge of his official duties, but . having just recovered from a severe attack of pneumonia the change of climate at this season of the year proved fatal to him. A relapse occurring he died on yesterday. To a Chicago paper belongs the fame of discoverinc a way to kill ofT the rinks. It has •covered that roller-skating makes wo men ugly. That settles it. When that fact comes to be well understood rink proprie tors had just as well convert their establish ment* into bowling alleys. Tttr. French, the English and the Mexican missions all filled and no Ohio man yet. It really begins to look as if the Buckeye crop will be a failure this year. THE COMO PARK WAT PROJECT. The report of the committee on roads and parkways made to the chamber of commerce on yesterday, and published io the Globe this morning, will be read with Intel The suggestion of a parkway to Lake Como and the fair grounds must meet with favor from all our citizen* who take an interest in adding to the beauty and adornment of the city. The popularity j of parkways in other cities i* forcibly pre sented by the committee. The design for a parkway to Lake Como is excellent, and if carried into execution would be gome- j ! thing that St Paul would always j jbe proud of. At the same time we are not I prepared to say that parks should be entirely I superseded by parkways. While a parkway '■ !of the kind suggested by the committee ; would fulfill all their expectations, still the paiks arc even more essential than the park- ' way?. The latter can only be enjoyed bj i those who are able to provide teams, or who * live iloce the line of the parkway. There ! [ are thousand? of poor people, and of people in moderate circumstances, who are not able to keep teams for driving over the park way?, yet these people need tne > rest, the enjoyment and delightful rtc- ; ! reatioa which parks afford. Parkways are for pleasure and ornament. Parka are abso- < ! lately essential to the health and happiness j >of the population of a crowded city. To the j . tired laborer who has spent six days of Use I : week in bard toil, there Is nothing so rtstfnl , as on a sabbath afternoon, to 2nd some Lee \ where, together with his wife and little ones, \ he can enjoy the sight of trees and warn ■ and hear lb« song* of bird*. It is an It - . *- tios) to him. He goes back to bis work on Monday moraine wiU renewed rigor and j new life. And so the park becomes a uni j tary essential to every city, as it ts a feilcre iof be*uty. la securing the partway let c» ! also hold oa to the park. j THE RIGHT* OF THE COLORED M4N. The supreme beuch of Baltimore has ren dered a decision in the case of -Wilson, the colored : lawyer, whose application for admission to the bar .of that city had been pending for some time, -he having been denied admission by the lower court because the Maryland statute discrimi nated against colored attorneys. The su preme bench decides in favor of the admis sion of the applicant, declaring that colored men who have passed the requisite examina tion cannot be excluded from the bar by reason of their color. The court bases this decision upon the fourteenth amendment to the Federal constitution, and upon the judicial constructions of that amendment by the su preme court of the United States, and holds the Maryland statute excluding colored per sons from tho bar to be in conflict with this amendment, and consequently inoperative. This decision removes the last restriction from the colored race, and there is not a state in the South where they have not as full and absolute legal privileges and protection as the white race. And it should be so, for it is in keeping with the progressive sentiment of the age. For good or for evil the country has declared that in contemplation of law all men shall be equal. All over the land men of African blood share in the sovereignty which the ballot box gives to every voter, and there is no reason why they should not have an equal chance in the professions. We are gratified to see such a representative Southern journal as the Baltimore Sun tak ing a practical and philosophic view of the derision. -The Sun says: The law provides that no man who does not pass a certain examination or hold certain cre dentials shall practice law. Either these require ments are reasonably sufficient to keep incom petent persons out of the profession, or they ought to be made so as soon as possible. Is it an advantage to a profession or a trade to be able to draw from all ranks and classes those best suited to succeed in it? Why should the bar alone be shut off from any chance to avail itself of the legal taleuts which may exist among more than a fifth of the popula tion of the state? Is it a boon to those already engaged .in a certain pursuit to have the limits of possible competition narrowed? Why should attorneys be protected against the rivalry of negro lawyers when all other indus tries are open to the colored race? If a negro is fitted to be an attorney, there is no more reason wny he should not be allowed to take a retainer from anybody who is willing to give it to him than there is why he should not earn his living as a doctor, a preacher, a teacher, a trailer, a laborer or a house servant. One indirect conse quence of admitting negroes to the bar is that it may lead the way to the bench. Negroes are eligible to the presidency of the United States, yet there is no immediate probability thnt we shall speedily have a negro president. There has never been a federal judge of negro blood. In short, for obvious reasons, the negro who shall succeed in being elected to the bench in Mary land will, i; may be safely prophesied, have ex ceptional qualifications for the position. The whole matter may be briefly summed up: The practice of law is- a pursuit which men take up for a livelihood. Its nature ia such that only skillful and honest men can be safely allowed to follow it, but any man who can prove himself in mind and conscience to be up to the standard prescribed by law should be free to try to make a living out of it. I.v Jackson's time when the great exodus from government office occurred, the dis missals were sent out in peculiar yellow en velopes,and the reception of one of these was a sure sign of decapitation. Now they are written on large note paper and are tent out in large white official envelopes bo that they usually come to the doomed man's desk in the morning. When the clerks come down to their offices at '.) o'clock in the morning they generally go to the desk and examine for a long white envelopes before removing their wraps. Mrs. YsECLtDcDLEY proposes to goto the Soudan and nurne in the hospitals. If she deals a3 tenderly with the wounded soldiers as she did with Rossa she ought to be made head nurse. People are expressing some surprise that the senate should remain in Bession so long when the president doesn't furnish it work to do. It Is not generally known that the reason for the delay of adjournment is that the senators are trying to find out whether or not Mrs. Bayakd's successor can make good ter rapin soup. THE RICnUOXD SESSATIOX. The Lillian Madison case in Richmond, Va., is likely to prove as mysterious and sensational as the celebrated Jknnie Cramer case. In fact there is a striking similarity in the two eases. Miss Madison was a young lady of good family and a finished educa tion. Her home was in the eastern part of the state, but one bad been sojourning for some time with friends who lived up among the mountains of Western Virginia. Upon a pretext of returning to her' home, on the eastern shore she took a train for Richmond and was seen in that city for two or three days stopping at oue of the principal hotels. On the evening after her arrival in Rich mond she hired a negro boy to carry a note to a gentleman who, as represented by her, would be found on a certain street corner. Within a few minutes afterwards the lady left tbe hotel, going in the direction that the boy went, and did not return until late in the night. The boy brought the note back to the hotel in the coarse of an hour, saving be could not find the gentleman described to him by the lady. The hotel clerk threw the note i>, a waste basket with out reading It. The next evening the young lady a^ain went out and never re turned. The following day her dead body was found in the water reservoir which Is located on a hill overlooking the city. No one in the city knew who she was, whence she came, or whither she was going. Her body was taken to the morgue and kept for a day preparatory to bein? buried in the pot ter's field. An account of the supposed suicide and a description of theyouns woman appeared in the morning papers and fell un der the eyes of her father, who supposed that his daughter was safe and well among friends in Western Virginia. The description of the dead woman was so accurate, even to the details of dress, be was impressed with it and telegraphed to the Richmond authorities to bold the body until be could reach the city. On arrival he recognised bis child, and a poat mortem examination revealed that »be was about to become a mother. Detectives were net to work on the case and they have | arrested Thomas CxrvEßic^, a prominent I youne attorney of King and Qneen county, I and lodged him in the Richmond jail charg ing him with being tbe murderer of Lillian : Madison. The circumstances upon which be was arrested are that be was known to be an old suitor for Mi«» Madi son's band. They had corresponded while she was visiting in the western part of . the . state. On tbe same evening «he reached ■ Richmond and stopped at the American botH, | the younc lawyer, Clutekic3, n-sutered at the E.*cbans;e hotel, in the same city. Early I Saturday morning he left for home, and that was tbe Jay Miss Madison'-* body was found in the reservoir. Trie young lady wa* seen, in company with two nifij, walking along ' the top of tbe bill near the reservoir on Fri j day night. A gold watch-key was picked \ up on tbe bank of the reservoir, near where | her body was found, and it may be thai thli j key will yet be Ike cine to tbe discovery of her ; murderer — that is. if *be was murdered. Tbe first theory was that finding beraelf be trayed by her lover, the unfortunate woman, in a fit of despair, bi I thrown herself into Hie lake. Tbe reseraliy accepted theory In Richmond now h that the false lover decoyed bereuttolhe merrcir. and had an accom plice in waitine, who Bartered her and then shrew the body into tbe water. The case 1* fail of mystery, and its development* will be watched rUb general iatereit. The Republican organs are already begin ning to growl over the prospective removal of Blanche BRUCE,tbe colored register of tho treasury. They omit to say, however, that while the government was paying Mr. Bkuce able • salary all last fall to stay in ; Washing ton and attend to the duties of his * office he was off in Ohio and Indiana- making campaign speeches for BLAiNEand 1 Log ax. The civil service law contemplates ' the re moval of just such fellows, and ; Mr. : Cleve land Is expected to enforce the law. DECLARED A DRAW. The Burke-Greenfleld Sparring Match Well Fought Until the Police Interfered. Special to the Globe . Chicago, March 23. Battery D was filled to overflowing to-night with 5,000' people, the occasion being the six-round glove con test between Burke and Greenfield. • At 8:15 p. m. Billy Lakeman, master of ceremonies, ascended the steps and announced to the expectant crowd that Jack Burke and Alfred Greenfield would appear in a six-round contest, Marquis of Queensbury rules. [n a few minutes Greenfield appeared, ac companied by his second, "Nobby" Clark, and took a seat quietly in the southeast corner of the ring. Burke followed, seconded by Tom Chandler. After a lot of preliminary fool ishness Andy Hanlon of New York, and Andy Hughes, a variety actor, were chosen referees, respectively for Greenfield and Burke. Billy Lakeman and Billy O'Brien were selected as timekeepers. In the first, second, third and fourth rounds it was give and take quite viciously. The men repeatedly clinched and were ordered to break, the crowd in the meantime shouting wildly for their individual favorites to do their best. Greenfield slung a wicked right and was pretty handy with the left, while Burkes left was continually at work. In the fifth round Burke had rather the best of the battle. The men clinched and Burke forced Greenfield to the ropes, when the call break came and the rouud ended. Greenfield went to work when time was called for the sixth round in a cut-and-slash style, and had the . best of it. When the round was over "Parson" Davies said that Burke had done the best fighting. Andy Hughes, referee for Burke, declared the fhrbt for his man, and Andy Hanley de clared it a draw. At this juncture the crowd became wild, hooting and yelling as if Tophet had broken loose. Burke was seen to make a move, toward Greenfield, as if he intended to do him up then and there. The portended storm soon 1 quieted, and it was decided to fight another round. The blood of both men was up to the boiling point, and it was genuine fight ing, barring the naked fists. When the ex citement was at its height Lieut. Laughlin and Detectives Costello and Jones, of the police force, stepped into the ring and stopped the fight. ALMOST A MURDER. Fred Loomack, a Colored Soldier, Shoots an Inoffensive -Particulars of the Affair- The one-story-and-a-half cottage on the south side of Sixth street near Jackson was the scene last night of what almost proved another murder. The house is occupied by Polly Caldwell, a saffron-colored damsel of ill-repute, and the victim to the affair is Minnie Lacey, a good-looking col ored girl about 24 years of age. Among the callers at the house last night were Frederick Loomaek, and one John son, a couple of colored soldiers from Ft. Suelling. They had imbibed con siderable fluid lightning and upon entering the house Loomack Invited the girl into one of the rooms. They adjourned to the apart ment and shortly afterwards the other in mates of the house were attracted by the loud and mingled talk of the couple, followed by the report of a revolver. Upon entering the room, the woman Laeey was found lying on the floor near the bed with the blood streaming from a wound in her temple, while Looraack was yelling for a doctor. A physician was called aud an examination showed that the ball had entered her right temple, and, striking the temporal bone, took a reverse course aud came out above the eyebrow. Officer Babe was attracted by the racket anil he took Lootnack in charge. The latter was locked up, and on being questioned he merely said it was an accident. ' The revolver he carried is a forty-four shooting iron of the bulldog pattern and one shell was missing. It is expected that the girl will recover, altuough her escape from death was almost miraculous. Sergeant Walsh at once detailed men to look for Johnson, who skipped out after the shooting. On being questioned Miss Laeey stated that Looiuack had threatened to 6hoot her, but that she thought he was only fooling. The latter will be arraigned to-day. com PETIXG FOR cattle. Montreal Seeking: to Rival Chicago— A Pro posed New Route Eastward. Special to the Globe. NewYokk, March -Robert C. Ortns ton of Montreal, who is in the city, said in an Interview this morning: "Montreal wants to rival Chicago as the great market for live stock in transit to Europe. There has already been much correspondence be tween the Dominion government and Lord Derby and others on the subject.
