LET THEM. COME.
There is a good cause for congratulation
in the statement of the secretary of the
state board of immigration that many in
quiries are being received from manufac
turers looking towards the establishment of
various industries in tills state. That is ■
sort of immigration which Minnesota can
stand a good deal of and afford to encourage
in every possible way. There is very good
reason, too. why the manufacturers should
lind it to their interest to locate within our
boundaries. They would be much nearer a
large number of the consumers to
whom they cater, they would find the nec
essary land much cheaper than in more
crowded Eastern centers, and, unless already
in the heart of the mining regions, they
would find that the great lakes afford a
readiness of transportation which would
give them their coal nearly, if not entirely,
as cheaply as they luivn been securing it In
other places where the other advantages
are not so great us thoso afforded by
St. Paul or several other of the chief
Minnesota cities. As to the bene
fit which the location of more
manufacturing concerns here would bring
to the Northwest, then; can. of course, be
no question. Tho 0110 thing necessary is to
present the inducements which the North
west can offer to capitalists and manufac
turers in the strongest possible light If
tome have voluntarily made inquiries,
others can no doubt be interested. Nothing
that will add to the wholesome growth of
St. Paul or the state at large should be
neglected. Therefore every effort should be
made to induce manufacturers dissatisfied
with the East to abide with us.
THE LABOR CRISIS.
In its editorial of yesterday afternoon
Ihe New York Evening Post tells the truth
when it says that b)th employers and em
ployes a!! over the country are, lying awake
these nights thinking of what is going on
in Texas and Missouri. There Is ■ general
feeling that the Southwestern strike is
going to precipitate a crisis. The Knights
of Labor have submitted their ultimatum,
which tin) railroad official* decline to ac
cede because they declare their purpose
10 make this a test ease which
is to forever settle the relations
that are to exist in the future
between capital and labor. It is possible
that in this respect the Texas Pacific officials
have exceeded their authority. They may
have the right to speak for capital that is
invested in railroads, but they have not the
right to speak for capital outside of railway
investments. The New York Post assumes
to speak for the business men. of the
country when it encourages the railway
officials to hold out against the demands of
the laborers, but in reality the Post lias
no right to speak for anybody ex
cept ttie Goulds and tho Vanderbilts.
who have their money largely invested in
railroads and as their organ alone the Post
is authorized to speak. When we remem
ber that the capital invested in .agriculture
and commercial business far exceeds that
invested in railway, and then remember
that so far as there has been an exhtb Hen
of sympathy in this matter the farmers and
merchants are disposed to sympathize with
the strikers, we at once see the fallacy of
the Post's argument in behalf of %
movement to crush the strikers lest
their victory lead to socialism and
the establishment of communism. The
Post's sensational editorial is evidently
I false cry to divert sympathy from the
striking employes of the Gould system.
While every one realizes the critical condi
tion ot affair* in tho Southwest, and the se
rious complications which are likely to
arise from a prolonged contiict between the
Gould system and its employes, wo
have do reason to fear the disasters which
the Post professes to apprehend, unless they
are hastened by just such injudicious arti
cles as the ono in yesterday's Evening Post.
This is not the time to urge either
party to tho conflict to stand
linn against the other without onv sort
of regard to the. equities involved in the
contest. It is a time when all patriotic and
judicious citizens should urge a conciliatory
policy. Let the matters in dispute between
the railway officials and the striking em
ployes bo submitted to an impartial board
of arbitration for adjustment. The country
cannot afford to let Jay Gould take an
arbitrary stand and say that he will dictate
the terms of settlement. Jay Gould Is
the last man in the country that the people
are willing to trust with a dictatorial
power. It would be better that he and his
railroads should bo wiped out of existence
than that a reign of anarchy, such as the
Post predicts, should be established, even
though it be but temporary in its duration.
Wisdom and moderation are needed in this
crisis more than brag and bluster.
IRELAND'S DIVTUESS. ,
The tale of extreme destitution and aw
ful suffering which comes from Ireland
should not fall upon deaf ears in this
country. There should bo no waiting for a
direct appeal from the warmest-hearted
people in the world to those who have ac
quired the reputation of being the most
generous. Ireland's people are in terrible
want, and that should bo sufficient to cause
every sympathetic nature in America to re
spond at once to the relief of suffering
humanity. It was all that was needed
a few years ago. when similar
affliction betel the people of the Emerald
Isle, to call for contributions from this coun
try which to this day lead the. grateful Irish
people to regard an American upon their
shores not M a stranger, but as a friend.
It is time to repeat the good deeds of that
bygone time. The necessity now is nearly,
if not quite, as great as it was then. The
only difference is that the destitution is con
fined to a smaller area. Although want is
very general throughout Ireland, it has
reached its extreme on the islands on
the western coast. There the suffer
ing is appalling. Starvation has be
come a matter of everyday occurrence.
Scores of people aro very likely to fall further
victims to it unless relief speedily reaches
them. The English government has taken
no adequate measures for the relief of the
people and the private f uuds are exhausted.
Even the very clothes of the children have
been traded for a little food, that a misera
ble existence might be eked out in the hope
that succor would come before the desperate
struggle should be ended by death's release.
America should now give evidence that
her reputation tor sympathy and generos
ity is not wrongfully given. She sends hun
dreds of thousands of dollars across the
water every year to the Irish political fund.
In times of human suffering politics must
become a secondary consideration. If un
able to contribute to both purposes, let the
stream of gold which has been flowing over
the seas so steadily be diverted to the relief
of the starving people. No one should be
allowed to starve while others are living in
the midst of plenty. Americans are. as a
whole, a prosperous people. They should
not allow their unfortunate kindred across
the ocean to ask for aid in vain.
THE MORGAN AUT SALE. .
The grand total of the Mouoan art sale
in New York was 5555.300 for 240 pictures.
or an average of CSS. 75 for each picture.
The bidding was spirited and ainonir the
bidders were bankers, merchants and rail
road magnates, well known in financial
circles. Mr. llavemevkk, the sugar man.
Mr. RuJiTUTOTOV, the railroad prince, and
Mr. Walter, the Baltimore millionaire,
who owns one of the finest private art gal
leries in the world, were among the largest
buyers at the sale. The highest
price paid for a sinirie picture
was 545,500 for Jules Breton's paint
ing The Communicants. Mrs. MoitOAJf
had paid §22,000 for it when she purchased
it of S. P. Ayi:i:v. It was started at $15,
--000 at the auction and ran up at §500 a bid
until it was knocked down at the sum of
945,000, the highest figure ever paid for a
modern work at auction. The highest
previous record of an auction sale of modern
work was made in the Wilson sale in
Paris, when Lecretax gave 532.000 for
Millet's The Angelus. Mr. Donald
Smith, the president of the Montreal bank,
was the purchaser of The Communicants.
Mr. Uuxtixgton and Mr. Rockefeller,
president of the Standard Oil company,
were leading bidders, but failed to secure it.
Mr. lluxtixgtox consoled himself for the
loss of the great picture by paying $25,500
tor The Missionary's Story, by Vibebt.
The Mokoax picture sale has assumed
its place at the. head of the art sales in this
country and well among those held abroad.
It demonstrates the advance our country
has made m art culture. While it is a more
rational way for our millionaires to expend
their wealth to ornament their homes with
these admirable works of art than the
thousand and one ridiculous ways they
ordinarily have of wasting their money,
still it does not meet the public require
ment in respect to art matters. What is
wanted is a public art gallery in every city
similar to that which Mr. Corcoran has
established in Washington. If some Gould
or Y.\M>i:i:i;ii.T had purchashed the whole
of the Morgax collection and had donated
it to the city of New York, he would have
built for himself a moro enduring monu
ment than all the railroads or banks in the
world can be.
OIL, ASA W.WE.STILLKIt.
Recent experiments go to show that pour-
IttK oil on troubled waters does have a
wave-stilling effect. During the recent
Atlantic cyclone the steamer Bohemia had
a fierce encounter with the furious gales, but
with the use of 130 pounds of oil in twenty
two hours it succeeded in calming the en
raged waters sufficiently to outride the
storm. The oil was poured on the waters
whenever the vessel got into a dangerous
position and had an immediate calming in
ilnence. The Bohemia's successful experi
ment in stilling the sea with oil has led to
the suggestion that it might be a good thing
to pitch the Standard Oil company and all
its oil property into the ocean as a security
against further tempests at sea. The dan
ger in adopting this suggestion is that
within three weeks the ocean would be
pumped dry and the Standard refineries
would be making a high-test oil from salt
water.
A DISSEMBLING REVIVALIST.
Evangelist Joxr.s says that he is playing !
the mountebank and monkey in Chicago be
cause he lias to adapt himself to the Chi
cago audiences. This is pretty hard on the
Chicago audiences, yet there is evidently a
great deal of truth in the statement It is i
a sad commentary on the religious status of j
a city where, in order to get the inhabitants |
to listen to gospel truths, the minister has
to assume the role of a clown. And it also
puts Parson Jones in a new light, j
The supposition has been that ho
is a roueli gospel diamond that in the ear
nestness of his desire to preach a plain gos
pel he has gone forth on his mission with- I
out the advantages of literary culture, and '
with the use of such homely language as he
could command he lias been dealing sledge
hammer blows. If, according to his con
TUT: ST. PAIJIj DATLT GLOBE. FRIDAY MUKJNIWW. MAKU'fI 12, 15»*
fesslon, Parson Joxes has been assuming
tills boorish of manner ami speech ia
the pulpit, it Is a question whether ho is
honest in his work. The old maxim of
Mm In one tiling, false in all. may have
an application to the pulpit as well
as to other matters. Ho may
excuse himself and quiet his cousclcnco on
the ground that the ends justify the means
he has been using. While this excuse may
satisfy Mr. Jones it will not be satisfactory
to the world. A religion that lias to be ac
quired by dissembling is not worth the hav
ing.. The foundation principles of any re
ligion that can commend Itself to human
reason, should bo truth and honesty. If
Mr. Jones has not been misquoted in this
statement, he will have to be converted
himself before he can make much headway
toward converting Chicago sinners.

It lias been over thirty years since the
first Chinese laborers came to this country.
So lone ago as the year MM 3,520 Chinese
arrived in the United States. The next
year the arrivals increased to 4.7:;:; and ■
gradual increase each year until ISGS, when
the arrivals unmbered 10.084. Since that
time there has been a decrease in the an
nual arrivals. During thirty years, from
1855 to ISSS, the total number of Chinese
arrived in the United States was 281,609.

There are several reasons why the friends
of Gen. Howard should not feel too confi
dent of that officer's selection for promo
tion when Gen. Pope retires or very much
disappointed should he fail to secure the
appointment There is another man whose
claims are equally as good and in some
respects better. Gen. Newton, chief of
engineers, is in every way deserving of the
promotion. He graduated in the same
class, but higher up. than Gen. Pope and
entered tho service twelve years before
Gen. Howard. If the last-named offi
cer is appointed ho will not retire
for eight years, while Gen. Nkwtox will
retire in less than two years. He made an
excellent record during the war and has
always been a consistent Democrat. By
his appointment Gen. Howard's promo
tion would only be delayed a short time
and substantial justice would be done a de
serving officer. President Cleveland
am shown himself to be a man with a
strong leaning toward the side of equity
and justice, and should ho appoint Gen.

will not be alone in applauding the act
SIT DOWN, MR. EDMUNDS.
Mr. Froude, the historian, sees a densely
gloomy outlook for England. In a recent
interview he frankly expressed the opinion
that the reorganization of the English
parliament on the American plan is a neces
sity. And thus it is that all the great
English thinkers are coming to the same
conclusion that British monarchical institu
ions are a failure and that the United
States present the only form of government
that is worthy to be taken as a model. It is
not so surprising that they should think
so. for over a century's experiment has
demonstrated the superiority of our Amer
ican institutions. But what is most surprising
is. that when all other nations concede that
ours is the model government of earth,
some of our own statesmen evince a dis
position to shape a governmental policy in
the line of European monarchies. They
attempt to establish an official asistocracy.
The upper branch of congress is now at
tempting to assert to itself a power which
is not enjo\ed by the English house of
lords. It is about time that all this foolish
ness was brought to an end. If we expect
to have tho respect of other nations we
must at least respect ourselves.
The Baltimore & Ohio having: clearly
demonstrated to a committee of congress
what a grasping monopoly the Western Union
Is, the latter company will now inform the
statesmen that tbo former is a puny organi
zation unworthy all credence. Between tho
two. the end desired of so be logging the
minds of tho committee men that they will
not report in favor of the establishment of a
government line, will probably bo attained.

vey no more odium than similar ownership of

There is one point worthy of comment
about that effective shooting affray In New

Senator Peon has given evidence that tho
Democratic party did uot lose all of its brainy
men in the senate when the cabinet whs

doubtless concur in the statement.
Senator Jackson of Tennessee is said to
be a man whoa* excessive modesty alone pre

of the United States— the New York Sun— is
a monomaniac on tbe subject of brevity. A
superfluous word or punctuation mark in an
article sends the cold eh Us down bis back

merits and beauties. As he told a new re
porter.his theory was that a writer should get

that he was sending a cablegram across the

SCHOOK HAS THE LEAD
la the Six Days* Championship Bi
cycle Contest In Minneapolis.
Schofer Leads in the Billiard Tourna
mont--Other Sports.
Till. SIX DAYS* RACE.
Schock Leads After a Day of Steady
Work—Big: Crowd*.
The great cyclists entered on their
fourth day In the match race at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Quite a crowd of
sporting men had assembled to look over
the men in order to gauge their
bets on the condition of the riders.
All day the attendance was
good, and the evening attendance was
something immense. Schock appeared as
bright as though he had not ridden the
three days. Woodside was the worse for
the struggle. He was lame and sore, and
had spent a miserable night at the
West with his trainer, and lost
a deal of sleep. Schock made the start
with Woody a little ahead, and Schock set
the pace tor fifty minutes, when he changed
to his light champion wheel, losing a lap
thereby. But he worked pluckily away
until he had regained it, riding at a fifteen
mile speed. At 12:30 Woodside left the
track and was rubbed down. This took seven
minutes, and meanwhile Schock gained two
miles. As soon as he had fairly remounted
his wheel Woodside spurted and gained
a lap. Ho then trailed until 3:05 o'clock.
He then retired for another seven minutes
and Schock
MADE ANOTIIKR GAIN'
of two miles, and, by dint of hard riding,
caught up and was on even terms with his
opponent. At 4:05 o'clock Woodside went
to his dressing room for nine minutes and
Schock shot ahead, placing a discouraging
distance between the two. Woodside re
turned, feeling much fresher, and spurted
for about fifteen lap*, He rode fast and
made a handsome Rain. At 7:15 Wood
side retired for the last time, returning in
ten minutes. During this period Schock
had placed six miles between them. Noth
ing eventful happened then until 0:15,
when Woodside made a brilliant spurt and
gained another lap. The immense throng
of spectators were so enthusiastic that they
made the welkin ring. He then trailed un
til 10:15. when he again showed his won
derful speed and yelling "Pole" shot by
like an arrow. Schock's trainer urged him
on and the excitement until the time flag
fell knew no bounds. Everyone
was on his feet yelling like
mad. Woody gained another lap
finishing as indicated in the table below,
amid the wildest enthusiasm. During the
entire four days Schock has courageously
stuck to the track. He has rarely stopped
to change wheels and merely stopped to
change wheels now and then, losing a few
seconds each time. His appetite has been
the best possible throughout, and when he
came off the track he kicked up his heels
LIKE A COLT
while Woodside was decidedly weary and
was helped to his room. In the last race
Woodside covered only 133 miles and six
laps, and Schock only 133 miles and one
lap. This will be an interesting day in the
race. Woodside will make a desperate
effort to regain the vantage ground that he
has lost. Schock says he will make 172
miles if necessary. Bets stood last
night 5 to 1 in favor of
Schock with few takers, although one man
offered $100 against $30 and take his
chances.

is on the sound, about three miles froni-
Ilarrison.

No positive statement is as yet obtainable
concerning the Deinpsey-La Blanche fight,
which is cenerally believed to have been
arranged for to-night. The report of their
departure into Westchestor county for the
engagement, is spoken of by some as an in
vention to deceive the authorities. It has
been reported that congregations of sport
ing men at one or two rendezvous in this
city were dispersed by police to-night, and j
that at a very late hour a move of princi- i
pals and interested parties was made into
Long Island, but up to some time after
midnight no reliable intelligence concerning
the contemplated encounter had been re
ceived.

Engineer Charles Girard of the Ike Bontam
makes the following statement: "Pilot
McElroy was in command and William
Sargent was in charge of the office. We
were going after cotton seed, and took no
freight along. I had just tried the water
in the boiler and found scant two gauzes.
I had left the wheel and had
gone back in the cabin to dinner, leaving
St. Andrews steering. In an instant the
shock came. I was knocked down, and
hot bricks from the furnace almost covered
me. I saw St. Andrews and a number ol
colored men In the river. They were call
ing for help. The explosion tore away the
orlice, pilot house, chimneys, forward boiler,
deck and all the forward part of the cabin,
throwing them Into the river. On deck
the result was equally disastrous. Six deck
hands were
BLOWN OVERBOARD,
only one of whom was recovered. Capt.
McElroy and a number of colored passen
gers and deck hands were more or less se
riously injured and all on board wen
scalded except Mrs. Sargent. Immediatelj
after the explosion she took command o:
the boat, went below, helped to launch th€
yawl and commanded those who were able
to rescue in the river. By this time the de
bris around the boiler had caught fire and she
seized the diaw bucket, drew water and
quenched the fire, after which she took a
hook and threw the red-hot bricks over
board. Mrs. Sargent by her heroism saved
the wreck from being burned. She was
not excited In the least and never lost her
presence of mind for a minute. Capt Sar
gent Is now In San Antonio, where he has
gone for the good of his health. During
his absence his wife has had the man
