The park commission has the city council by the heels, so to speak, or at least it thinks it has, and proposes to hold its grip until the council comes down with the bonds which were au thorized to be issued by the act creating the commission. That was evidently the meaning of the commission's action yesterday in respect to the Minnehaha park. The decision to postpone action was equivalent to saying that we know the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis are anxious to have the park, and it is important to secure the location of the Soldiers' home, but we will use these as levers to force" the council into issuing the bonds. The Globe is not disposed to criticize the commis sion harshly, but it docs 'think that it strained a point that was not justified under the circumstances. It would have been better to have said in distinct terms that the commission was in favor of establishing the park.and would pro ceed to do so immediately upon receiv ing assurance from the council that the funds would be provided to pay the ex pense. However, the action has been taken and the responsibility rests with the council. It may be that the city fathers will naturally be inclined to re sent the attempt at coercion, but under all the circumstances it is better for the aldermen to suppress any personal feel ing they may have in the matter and deal with the question in a, thoroughly business like way. There is no time to be lost and prompt action is imperative. THE TEMPERANCE AVAR. The temperance text book war has broken out again with renewed fury. This time it is Mrs. Hunt who takes a whack at the text book commission and she proves herself a veritable Amazon It is evident from the ton e 0 Mrs' Hunt's newspaper assault on the com mission that the temperance women do not propose to play second fiddle to the temperance politicians. The women have struck out on a straight line for to tal abstinence and they evidently intend to stick to the original text. At least there is no indication of a surrender at at this stage of the battle. The Globe dees not propose to take any part in the controversy, nor does it intend to enter into a discussion of its merits. But it is a singular piece of history in this con nection that but a short time ago there was an apparent unanimity of sentiment among the school authorities and the Republican newspapers that a series of text books should be adopted which taught total abstinence. Suddenly there was a right-about movement, and the series which had formerly been rec ommended was rejected. The dickney birds say that this change was the re sult of a conference between a number of leading Republicans. Whether it was thought that the espousal of the total abstinence doctrine was dangerous to the Republican party, or whether the politicians resented the idea of being coerced into measures, does not appear on the surface. But, whatever the cause, the change of front was made, and now the sure-enough temperance people propose to show the politicians that they arc not to be trifled with. The school board of Minneapolis has already rejected the series of books recom mended by the commission, and have adopted the rejected Pathfinder series: This was done on the advice of the attorney general, who decided that the commission's power was only advisory, and its action not obligatory upon the local; boards. The result will be that the" temperance school text hook fight is to be carried into every school district in the state. The members of the W. C. T. U. have the war paint on, and under tin- leadership of Gen. Hint pro pose to make it hot for the milk and cider temperance folks. ONLY BEGINNING. We trust the hundreds of bright graduates who have within the past few days closed the doors of Minnesota schools and colleges behind them for ever will not make the natural mistake of fancying their education complete.' or, in other words, will not think they ♦'know it all." As a matter of fact, the principal thing one learns at school or college is how little he does or ever can know.' The chances, are that the per son who appreciates most forcibly the limits of his knowledge is the one •whose stock of learning is most* exten sive. Generally speaking, the ; actual learning acquired even at a high grade college 'iff comparatively, insignificant, nor Is it the chief benefit to be derived from a. college course. The main advan tage., lies in ..the discipline given the mind, > and directing.it in the proper | channels, so that the individual will know how and what to study, all the rest of his life. During .the . period spent at school : and college the foundation alone is laid, It must de pend upon the graduate as to what kind of a structure, if any, will" be erected upon that foundation. So*"our young friends who have so successfully com pleted the initiatory period of study and who now face the serious business of lite with such eager expectant faces, must not make the mistake of supposing there is no more study for them. They will find that in order to achieve success in whatever calling they may choose, study of the most constant kind will be' required, and as they grow older they will appreciate with the acquirement of each fresh fund of knowledge that the proportion borne by what it is possible for one person to know to . the entire amount of existing learning is diseourag ihgly small. Still there is a good deal of reason for the self-complacency of the graduates, for though they may not know more than their eiders, their in formation, in certain directions, is certainly fresher. . IS THE GLOBE GROWING? This is a question in which the public is interested, because the Globe is a public institution and is supported by public patronage. The success of the paper, therefore, is a matter of which the public has a legitimate right to know something. If one wants an an swer to the question, Is the GLOBE growing, one has only to look at the fig ures presented herewith, which can be verified in every instance. Every asser tion made is easily susceptible of abso lute proof. The increase in the advertising patronage of the Globe is the largest on record in any city in the United States. Just think of it. During the month of May, ISSS, the Globe printed only 712 columns of advertising; during May, ISS7, there were printed 1,486 col umns, an increase of 774 columns (or more than double the number) in two years. There is' no newspaper in any city, east or west, that can make such a showing as this. The • masses of the people have also learned to recognize the value of the Globe as an advertising medium. Their patronage comes in the form of small advertisements, or "wants," and the amount of each order is quite small, but in the aggregate the sum is swelled to large proportions. This feature of the Globe's business is regarded as extremely valuable, and it is gratified at the steady growth of ,the "wants" department. ■ As in the case of the dis play advertising, the increase in the "wants" has been remarkable. During may, 1855, 12,340 "wants" were printed in the Globe; in May; 1887, there were 21,075, an increase of 9,335. This marvelous increase of advertis ing patronage has been due to the rapid and unparalleled growth of the Globe's circulation, which is now conceded to be the largest of any paper between Chicago and the Pacific coast. The popularity of the Globe, as a channel through which the masses of the people may communicate with each other, by means of the "want" ads, has become so general and pronounced that is util ized as almost the exclusive medium. This is proven by the figures printed above. The progress and growth of the Sun day Globe are also surprising, as they are almost unprecedented. The in creased sales and general growth .in circulation have been marvelous. Look about you any Sunday morning and see how it is. See the people in the street cars reading the Globe; observe the same thing on the suburban trains, or as you stroll along the streets and pass pedestrians, or people sitting on the porches of their residences; interview the news agents, ask the train. boys, or the street urchins, and find out how far the Globe leads. . The press throughout the entire coun try—from Boston to San Francisco, and from Winnipeg to New Orleans— have re-echoed the sentiment of the people in the Northwest in pronouncing the Globe the brightest, most popular and widely-read journal in all this vast sec tion of country tributary to St. Paul. . The Globe building is also a striking evidence of the success of the paper. The fame of the finest newspaper palace in America has become world-wide, and in every leading city in the United " States can be seen pictures of the Globe building adorning hotels and other prominent public places. Verily, there are evidences on every hand of the progress and grand future of the Globe. _' m THE MAN AND THE COAT. We observe that several of our East ern contemporaries are very "much wrought up over the tremendous ques tion as to whether a dress coat should be worn or not, and, if so, by whom, and at what -times.' It appears to us that in the contention which has been raging among them on the subject, they have neglected to look beneath the sur face, and have treated the question in a manner entirely too superficial. The man who intends to make one of the members of society, in the restricted sense of the word, must necessarily obey the unwritten law of the assem blage in which he. seeks to move, and attire himself on proper • occasions in the uniform presented by its members, just as much as a soldier must wear the uniform of his regiment. It this fact lies the dress coat's strongest argument. But we submit that our disputatious con temporaries are losing ;ight of the man in their, strife over his coat. In our humble opinion, the kind of man whom the coat . covers is far more material. The dress coat may attire fashionably the veriest fop and nincompoop, while the flannel shirt may cover the broad shoulders of a real man. one whose breast is heaving with honest and earnest aspirations, whose heart beats with kindly inpulses, and whose hands are hard with honorable toil. This one, though he never saw a dress coat, save on the back of a waiter, is of more value to society, in its unrestricted sense, than half a dozen of his shallow-pated, but fashionably dressed brethren. Not but that there are as brave and energise young fellows as ever lived who delight to attire themselves in broadcloth andfine line:', but the odds are in favor of the sturdy youth who knows not the mean ing of finery, masculine or feminine. Despite the coat that covers his back, "a man's a man for a' that." as Bobby! Burns sang, and we are surprised that this, view of the matter did not occur to our satirical contemporaries. — : ♦' . — All Kentucky is rejoicing over "the vindication of the law" in the, killing of Craig Tolliver and his ten followers, but it would seem that a law that is only vindicated after thirty-one deaths" THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: • V SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, > TWENTY PAGE& in all have taken place, must be a very flimsy article i ndeed.*Bß_|__j_Bjß| «__■• If, gentle reader, you were not one of the throng .which: visited the Globe building last evening, you ought not to neglect the opportunity ' next Saturday • evening of seeing how the best paper in the Northwest is made.

While the politicians are working vig orously to stir up sectional discord and to keep the Northern and Southern sec tions as far apart as possible, it is grati fying to observe the great body of the people, both North and South, are just as vigorously cementing the bonds of union and are bringing about the most enduring fraternal relations between the two sections. It is a good thing for the country that the people are thus disposed to squelch the traitorous de signs of the ambitious politicians. ■«■ * A cheering evidence of the popular disposition to bring the sections into fraternal relations was found in the re ception given to the K. E. Lee camp of Confederate veterans by the Andrews post of Union veterans in Boston last week. . They met on historic ground, which vividly recalled the days when the people of the Old Ray state and the people of the Old Dominion stood shoulder to shoulder in the struggle for the establishment of American inde pendence. As the veterans of the two sections sat together at the banquet board in Faneuil hall they forgot the late family disturbances in the remem brance of the glorious achievements of the past. * * * The sentiments expressed there were in pleasing contrast to the silly vapor ings of the politicians of the Fair child-Foraker type. The occasion was one to tone down the usually fiery Senator lloag, who, in one of the most patriotic speeches that he ever delivered, said : "We, too, have* learned to know as we never knew before the quality of the noble Southern stock; what courage in war; what attachment to home and state ; what capacity for great affection and generous emotion; what aptness for command; above all, what constancy that virtue beyond . all virtues, with out which no people can long be great or free." In an address of welcome to the Confederate veterans, Gov. "Ames said: "The time has gone by, 1 trust ' never to return," when Massachusetts and Virginia will fail to appreciate and understand each other. In the long fu ture that unrolls before the republic the {people of the Bay State and the people of the Old Dominion have to work out a common destiny." * * Speaking for the other side, ex-Con gressman John Goode said: "I know whereof I affirm when I say that not a single man among the Virginians would re-establish the institution of slavery if he could. There is not a man among them who harbors in his breast one particle of animosity or resentment toward this proud American Union' or its brave defenders. We are ready to grasp hands with the men- of Massa chusetts in starting our country upon a new career of prosperity. If the gov ernment ever becomes involved in trouble with any foreign power you will find that the men of Virginia will re spond with alacrity." *»■ Nominated With a Whoop. Huron Herald.

A Splendid Country That is Worth Millions of Dollars. Midway between the Twin Cities is a beautiful expanse of table land which commands a splendid view of the sur rounding country, and capitalists have been quick to appreciate the natural advantages thus given for laying the foundation of a . future -suburban resi dence portion of the metropolis of the Northwest. Summit View, Macalester, Merriam's first, second and third addi tions, Lovering, Rosedale, Quinby, Col. lege,Oakland and Union Parks are some" of the names applied to the subdi visions of the territory • embraced be tween the JTfir grounds on . the north and the river on the south and west, the principal owners and holders of whjp-h are Bishop Ireland and Messrs. W. It.' Merriam, Dennis Ryan, William Daw son, Bernard Kuhl and F. A. I .ullmau. Acres in this favored locality readily command $5,000 each/awhile building sites 40x150 feet are held from $1,000 up wards,and few of them are on the market! at those figures. All the land is well situated, and but little grading is ne£j[ essary, in fact, the only work that ; cart he done by artificial means is the level!, ing of the roadway, and an army of men and teams are now engaged in doing this, and with the most gratifying results. - Particularly is this -true along Snelling avenue, which is rapidly Hear ing completion to the railroad depot.and will be the principal thoroughfare of the Midway properties. Residences of the wealthier classes of the community break the monotony of the prairie of a few years ago, and everywhere as far as the eye can reach are" evidences of thrift and prosperity. No cheap houses are being constructed, the lowest of the wooden improvements costing not less than $3,000, while some of the more si___» stantial and luxurious type have In volved an outlay of fully $7,000 to $10, --000. At Macalester an addition to the new Presbyterian college is rapidly Hearing completion, which will double the size of tne present building, and the foundations are already excavated ' for another public school structure' in this thriving settlement. Midway property is considered the most staple in the market, and lots command better prices' than those a: mile this side. One ■ fea ture is the contiguity • to the railroad, and although two lines are now in op eration and easy of - access; the Omaha, •it is understood, proposes .to 7 put in a third. - This new line will be built from the shops at Minneapolis to St.Paul, ; ami will cut off the ; southern extremity of Macalester Park, thus making a cor don about this valuable ; 7" SUnUIIBAN ADJUNCT ' to the Twin Cities. —Then, too, the Summit avenue boulevard 250 feet wide will be an additional feature and fur nish a drive unequaled : for beauty of scenery and easy grades down to the bluffs that line the river edge. Rail road depots are already built at Snelling avenue and Merriam Park and the time tables are conveniently arranged for the transportation „of residents at both places and the adjacent country.' Ham line, one of the most enterprising and growing of the suburban resorts near | St. Paul, is already putting on city airs, • and on every . side new buildings are ' springing un as if by magic and nest \ i ling under tlie protecting wings of the joSorthern Pacific railroad shops, which ; late located at that point. Those who ', 'have availed themselves of the oppor tunity to settle in the favored region ; never tire of sounding its advantages in ' climate and situation, and cool weather seems to be a predomidating feature. 1 From the highest point, say the knoll leading off from Summit park via Snell ' ing avenue, the observer ' can readily discern the spires of St. Paul and Min neapolis churches tending heavenward, while the tall chimneys of factories and mills of the two .busy towns give prom ise of increased wealth and business in the near future. But of the pauo ramo presented from the same point of observation how can one fittingly de pict its glories ! Far away to , the south presses the Father of Waters to his gulfy outlet, the river appearing^ in the picture like a stream of molten gold, : while at the north and west hills with verdure clad give the scene . an aspect of an eternal emerald carpet of which the eye never tires. THEY WILD CONFER. Both Contractors and Strikers Favoring a Conference to Settle the Difficulty. The strike seems to lie about wearing itself out, and both sides are in favor of ' a conference and by talking matters over settle the difficulty. The confer ence will probably take place at the contractors' room, at the Hotel Ryan, to-morrow afternoon. At the meeting of the directors of the contractors and builders' board of trade, held yesterday afternoon, the following resolutions were adopted. Whereas : Many friends interested in the welfare and prosperity of St. Paul, have sug gested and we believe" that the present time, when the strike is practically at an end is a proper one for a conference between the striking workmen in the various building trades and their employers, therefor Resolved, That as the interests of employ ers and employes should be, and are indeh tical, we invite any and all discontented journemen engaged in building trades, to meet us and frankly discuss such reasonable propositions as they may desire to present, for the furtherance of our mutual interests. We further sugggest that such a conference be held at our board of trade room at 4 p. m. Monday, 27th Inst. Last Wednesday the amalgamated council of building trades adopted a res olution similar in purpose, so there is no doubt but that the whole matter will be settled speedily and amicably. Trades Assembly. Following is the official report of the : proceedings of the last meeting of the Trades and Labor assembly : At the meeting of the Trades and Labor assembly on Friday President Guyett was re elected. The delegates from the carpenters reported that the number of union carpenters in the city is now 1,400. of whom two-thirds are at work on the nine-hour plan, which has ( been adopted by fifty contractors. The gen eral prospects are very favorable. The com mittee on the picnic at Wild wood park, White Bear lake, reported favorable progress. The demand for tickets is very large. All labor and sympathetic organizations are requested to take part in parade, which leaves 371 Jackson street at 7:30 a.m. on the Fourth. The United States . Military band, from Fort Snelling, has been engaged for the day. Trains leave for the grounds at 8:30 a. m".. 10:30 a.m.. 12 :10 p. m., 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 pi m.

Among the visitors at the convention of the master mechanics and master car builders there were some who had been in St. Paul before, but none whose first visit dated so far back as that of C. M. Reed, of Corning, N. V., who, in com pany with - Hon. Joseph Haskell, first came to St. Paul (then only a small set tlement of about a dozen houses) in 1844. After a stay of about two years Mr. Reed left the Northwest for Texas, and since that time has not visited St Paul until during the past week.Meeting one or two of the old settlers and friends of forty-three years ago. it is needless to state that his stay in the city has been an enjoyable one. Mr. Reed is now over sixty years of age, but still has the life and spirit of a man of thirty, with not a wrinkle on his face to mark the trail of time. A trip to the Globe tower was one of the many pleasant incidents of the past week, and as he gazed about upon the wide expanse of built-up terri tory, | he searched in vain for old land marks of 1844. Mr. Reed goes back to his Eastern home with many happy remembrances of St. Paul and the royal manner in which he has been treated by all with whom he has come in contact. Arm and arm with the son of his old time friend he has fought again in fancy the scrimmages of early border life. With a sigh for the departed and a word of cheer for the survivors, he leaves for home with a kindly impression of the metropolis of the Northwest. More Druggists.

Thursday evening, was the scene of greater festivity and gayety than that anciet hostelry has witnessed "for a long time now," the occasion being the annual straw berry festival of the White Bear Epis copal church. The affair was a gratify ing success, both financially and so cially. The young lady at the post office, Rebecca at the well, the lemonade girls and flower girls did flourishing business and helped rake in the shekels to swell the coffers of the church.

HE LOST THE OARS, On a calm, still evening of last week, as the shades of night were fast envel oping the earth in darkness and the many colored lanterns on the Leip pa vilion shown: in the distance like the lights of a St. Louis summer garden, a cedar boat might have been seen mak ing its .; way slowly through the water. The young man rowing the boat wore a blonde mustache and clothes of a city cut/and looked like one more familiar with dodging teams on a crowded thor oughfare than rowing a boat. The other occupant of the boat was a young lady, and, as she ' sat in stern idly dangling .a pond - lily in the : water, denied more intent in. listening to the words of her companion than in admir ing the beauties- of the scenery. His conversation was growing quite inter esting, and he remarked that he hoped their journey through life might be as smooth and free from jars as the motion of the boat, when, in the sailor's verna cular, he caught a "crab," and as he vainly endeavored to catch the un shipped oar, it disappeared in the gloam ing. In the confusion that ensued the other oar slipped through the oar lock and went to join its mate. lie paddled around with his hands in search of the missing oars, but all efforts to recover them proud unavailing. He glanced at the nearest shore and calculated that with his only means of propelling the boat and the present condition of the wind, he might reach terra firma by the 4th of July— if he had good luck. He began to grow anxious; he had asked the young lady out from the city for a few hours* quiet row, and not to spend the season. The 10 o'clock train would leave at 10 as usual, the same as though nothing had happened; and as he, in fancy, saw the young ladies' stern par ent anxiously consulting his timepiece and wondering what had become of his daughter, great drops of perspiration bespangled his brow. But fate was kind, and after drifting around on the EASTERN" TOURISTS. placid bosom of the lake for the space of three-quarters of an hour, his oars were returned to him by a passing boat man who had found them floating some little distance from the accident, and by dint of hard rowing and fast walking, he was enabled to reach the station in time to catch the train. He wilLreturn, however, before the flowers iiflpring, but thinks a boat with swivel oars is good enough for him. FLOATING DRIFTWOOD. Just enough passengers to comfort ably fill Capt.

I met "^lO other day Miss Dorothy Dene, who has been painted into a celebrity by Sir Frederick Leighton, and photographed by every pho tographer In England, and was pleased, and gratified to find that, unlike most professional beauties, she is a very clever and sensible girl. She told me she had a number of oners to go to America, but she did not intend accepting any of them until after she had fixed herself still more firmly on her pedestal in England and added ex perience to that she had already gained. She is under the Impression that New York is more critical even than London, and she does not propose to risk making a failure on one side of the water. ■ _^ A FACE. : As hurriedly along the crowded street I pushed ray viiy, a woman's awful face Confronted mc^and darkened all the place ' AVhercln we w-ilked; then faithful memory "■•■-.. •fleet Rushed back into the dusky past to meet Great Dante's creatures— all that direful race Of piteous souls that travered Hell's wide Es_y*s space tomtset^am^e^Mff ~n f > miwun And vainly battled with the woes that beat Against the nakftd spirit.
