The Globe lias something to tell you, and we want you to listen. We have been telling our readers that the philan thropic people of the two cities ought to provide picnic excursions for the little folks. Now, as evidence that we are willing to practice what we preach, the Globe has arranged to give the news boys and carriers of St. Paul and Min neapolis who serve the Globe a grand excursion and picnic next Saturday. Arrangements have been made to go out on tiie Saturday morning train on the Manitoba road to Miiinetonka, where the excursionists will board one of Commo dore Zimmerman's finest steamers and make a tour of the lakes, returning to the Hotel St. Louis at 1 o'clock, where a sumptuous lunch will be served in the pavilion by Manager Emerson. The boys will be allowed to have a romp during the afternoon in the mag nificent grove surrounding the hotel and will be returned to their homes on one of the late afternoon trains. The boys will be properly cared for by the officials of the Manitoba road on the trains to and from the lake, and will be kindly looked after on the steamer by Commodore Zimmerman and his assistants. Several members of the Globe staff will* accompany the excursionists to see that every pre caution is taken to avoid accidents, and every effort will be exerted to make the occasion as enjoyable for the little fel lows as it is possible to make it. All boys who sell or deliver the Globes in either St. Paul or Minneap olis are invited to join the excursion. Those in Minneapolis who intend to join the party are requested to leave their names at once at the Globe office in that city, and the St. Paul boys will leave their names with the city circula tor at the Globe office in this city. Boys, we intend that you shall have a good time, and the Globe wants every one of you to join the excursion. It is a free excursion for you, tendered by the Globe as a recognition of your faithful J services in its behalf, and because we j think a day's airing in the country will do you good. _ -a-, FREE BATHING. A correspondent who indorses the Globe's advocacy of a free public bath ing house wishes to know if any other j cities have yet adopted the plait. Only a few of them have, probably not more ! than half a dozen. Still the experiment has been attended with most satisfac tory results. Boston has 17 public baths; New York, l"i: Philadelphia, 5; Brooklyn. 3; Buffalo, Cleveland and Hartford, I each. The statistics show that in one season in New York 3.481, --086 persons bathed from June to Octo ber. During the same time in Boston the number of people who availed them selves of the opportunity for a free ab lution was 959,765, and in Brooklyn, where there were only three baths, the bathers numbered 225,885. Statistics further show that in eighteen cities where there are no public baths only about 23 per cent, of the residences are supplied with bath tubs. These figures have a tendency to strengthen the Globe's advocacy of a free bath house. *„mm FOOT-PADS AND LIGHTS. Highway robberies have become un pleasantly numerous in St. Paul of late. The footpads, who seemed to have given this. city a wide berth, have, for some reason, appeared in force, and despite the utmost vigilance of the police, the result of their labors is almost daily, or rather nightly, seen in the "holding up" of some belated passer-by. Your thor ough-paced footpad is about as cowardly a person as breathes the air of life. He takes no chances, but always makes sure of coming upon his victim un awares. He has the cunning of the sneak-thief without the courage of the professional burglar, and is a vile com bination of both. He should be hunted down without mercy, and if in attacking some appar ently guileless citizen he should receive a bit of cold lead, public sympathy would hardly be excited In his favor. But there is another remedy for the footpad evil beside watchfulness on: the part of po lice and belated citizens. j Let the city provide more liberally: for lighting the streets and the highway will I*3 less adventurous. He is -. fond of "ways that are dark" and rarely frequents well lighted streets. In fact it has been asserted that every street light is equal to a policeman and as the lights don't equal the policemen in cost of maintenance by a good deal, the city might well take additional pre cautions in that direction for assuring the safety of people who are obliged to be out after nightfall. ap INVITING THE PRESIDENT. St. Paul and Minneapolis want the president and his wife to visit them, and have already taken the preliminary steps toward indicating to him that de sire. But the Twin Cities are not alone in wishing to claim the president as a guest. - -..-.■ - The entire state of Minnesota wants to welcome him, audit is in the name of the whole state as well as on behalf of its principal cities that the invitation should be tendered. The committee al ready appointed in this city recognizes this fact, and, after a conference with the Minneapolis committee, every or ganization in the state will be invited to join in the invitation. This is as it should be, for it is not only one or two cities, but the people of the entire state, of the whole West, whose acquaintance the president should make, and who re gard his coming with unmixed pleasure. The invitation to join in a common testimonial of the desire on the part of the Northwest to have the president' come among us should be generally re sponded to. and the invitation sent him should have a ring in it that will leave no doubt of its cordiality. opt Mr. Blame' friends are doing nothing to oppose Sherman's triumphal march in Ohio just now. They don't care who gits the in dorsements as long as they get the votes, ana in the meanwhile a little indorsement flat tery soothes Candidate Sherman's ambitious spirit amazingly. - Since the tirade of an Asbury Park hotel people against colored people the place has been overrun by thousands of the Indignant •Africans every Sunday. Against a back ground of dark color the choler of the hotel proprietors is seen to be at white heat. am The government lias just prevented the Central Pacific railroad from gobbling 200, -000 acres dC land in California. Here is an other opportunity for the Republican organs to jump on the long-suffering Sparks. The indorsement which the Ohio conven tion gave the president is simply preliminary to the one lie will probably receive a year hence at the hands of the entire country. **+ Perhai-s it got too hot in the Garden City for the Chicago boodler who has escaped and is now probably cooling off in a more north ern region, Canada for instance. -^ ■ The president has promised to go to St. Louis.which is a good enough preliminary to visiting real live and vigorous cities like St. Paul and Minneapolis. «~_ The Republican officials who have allowed importation of Pinkerton men into Pennsyl vania will discover a day of reckoning at next election" time. s> Now that the potato bug has Invaded Ger many the slighted American hog can smile serenely over the fact that its long delayed revenge has come. It would be quite in keeping with Stan ley's romantic career, if, instead of being dead he would turn up as the discoverer of Gordon. ■ ■•■ Base ball has thousandsof admirers in St. Paul, ami the kind of ball the home club is playing just now is well worthy of admira tion. _ v Every other large city has i natatorium. Why shouldn't St. Paul? And what a luxury a cool plunge would he this kind of weather. The footpad disease has struck St. Paul. One of the best precautions is a Heady hand and a cocked six-shooter. ■«■" Somebody seems to have rung in a cold deck on the Baltimore & Ohio deal. mam STRAY SUNBEAMS. Oue thing is very sure. Those scientific gentlemen who have been doing so much writing of late to prove that solarenergy is on the decline, will lay their peas aside after this prolonged hot spell. This generation is too wise to be fooled by scientific theories with such hot facts staring them in the face. * ■# There is a dispute as to who invented spec tacles. The ordinary l>elief is that Gnaa, an Italian monk, was entitled to the honor of the invention, but there are reasons to be lieve that Spina was - indebted for hi* infor mation to Salvino, a Spaniard, who died in the year 1318. The epitaph on Salvino's tombstone reads : -'The inventor of specta cles. May God pardon his sins.'' And yet there have been fewer inventions which have conferred a greater blessing than the humble spectacle. Dr. Johnson once expressed his surprise that the inventor had never found a worthy biographer to celebrate his ingenuity. It is probably be cause of the uncertainty of his name that a grateful posterity have been prevented be stowing upon his memory that honor which is so richly merited. * * Ex-Congressman Tucker, of Virginia, who has a great reputation as a college com mencement orator, delivered the annual ora tion at the closing exercises of the South Carolina university. He had a pitcher of iced tea set before him and refreshed him self frequently therefrom. The Southern Christian Advocate thought it was cham pagne, and gave Mr. Tucker a downright good scolding for setting such a bad example to the youth of the country. It took Mr. Tucker's friends a long while to convince the religious editor of his mistake and to get his journal to take it all back. Such is the penalty of having been a congressman. * * Mr. Blame is largely interested in a Ken nebec river ice company which is making lots of money this not weather. The next thing we will hear of pieces of, John Sher man will l«s selling in Ohio for blocks of Kennebec ice. The invitation sent by Kansas City request ing President Cleveland to visit that town is the flashiest thing of the age. The invita tion is in book form, eleven inches long, six teen inches wide and four inches thick. The binding is of seal skin, being the first in stance of the use of this valuable skin for book binding. On the front cover of the book, sunk in the binding, is a square of white satin, on which is engrossed Kansas City's greeting to the president and wife. On the tide page is the word "Venite." followed by water color pictures. The invitation is signed by 21,000 citizens. The book is in closed in a case of sealskin embossed in gold aud lined with gold plush. *»* It looks as if the Kansas City invitation ought to fetch the president. But it won't. This is a Democratic administration, with which high fangled notions count for naught. St. Paul is going to send au old Andy Jack son sort of an invitation, inscribed on birch bark, with a promise of plenty hominy and sweet potatoes. Then the whole cabinet will come right along with the president. The new issue which Jons Wise attempted to create for the Republican party in his Fourth of July speech at Philadelphia is broadening. A St. Paul gentleman arises in this morning's Globe to sustain the position taken by Mr. Wise that George Washington was not a good speller. Mr. Wise's St. Paul backer goes further and implicates two other very worthy people in the accusation of be ing deficient in orthography. * * * The two additional ex-notables -who are ar raigned under this charge are no other than the illustrious Alexander Hamilton and that good woman of precious memory, Mrs. Martha Washington. If our correspondent is correct ia his statements it was Alexan der.Hamilton who was . responsible for that miserably misspelled document, the cele brated Farewell Address. Hamilton : never ' was a Democrat, and we are not going out of our way to defend him. But the Democratic party is going to stand up for George Wash ington. And there is too much chivalry in ' the party ever to permit the. memory of a good woman to be aspersed. . . .'.".-.'.

Washington's Illiteracy. To tie Editor of the Globe. There were two short notes in the "Stray Sunbeam" column of your paper this morning in regard to John Wise's Fourth of July speech, wherein he inti mates that Washington was "no illiter ate tliat 'he could not write his cele brated farewell address without filling it with misspelled words." The fact that Washington was illiter ate, I had supposed, was well known by every reader. George, and Martha, his wife, too, could not write a grammatical letter,- and the spelling of both was of the very worst. But did George Wash ington really write his celebrated fare well? We answer, '"No, not a line of it.'" When Washington was about to take his leave of the army he asked Alexander Hamilton to write him a fare well address. Hamilton did so, and sent it to him, and Washington, after read ing it, made a change of a very tew words and returned it to Hamilton, who made a copy and forwarded it to. Wash ington, keening the original with the changes in Washington's own hand, and that address written by Hamilton is the famous "farewell address of George Washington.*' Now, as "the proof of the pudding is in eating the bag," so "the proof of this lies in the fact that the original paper, with the changes made by Washington, was quite recently— and probably is now — possession of a descendant of Hamilton who is living in New York.'' What 1 tell you here comes from the lips of a gentleman who recently died in tills city, and he had the reputation of being a man of honor, and was prob ably the best informed man on events in American history that ever lived in the state of Minnesota, to say the least. Selaji. St. Paul, July 25, 1387. RAILWAY NEWS. i There Was Xo Robbery. j Special to the Globe. New York. July 25.— George Gould to-day denied the story telegraphed | from St.Louis that Jay Gould had iost $1. --600,000 or more by the rascalities of some of his trusted employes in the Missouri Pacific system, who had made contracts | with lumbermen for railway ties at a ! low figure, which ties they sold to the I railway company at a much higher figure and put 'the difference in their pockets. George said: "There was a loss of not to exceed 820,000 in the mat- j ter of supplying ties to some of the roads in the Missouri Pacific system. There was nothing wrong about it nor have we charged any one with wrong doing in connection with it." Mason City & Fort Dodge. Special to the Globe. Mason City, 10., July John B.

Judge Gilfillan, of the Supreme Court, . Declares the Law Providing for Re movals to be Unconstitutional. The Supreme Court Says the Street Railway Company Slay Lay Tracks on All City Streets. Suits Against the Railroad Commission. Resulting From a Decision on Min neapolis Switching Charges. • i Syllabi in Numerous Cases of Sore or Less Importance— in L All the Courts. Among the eleven decisions which; came from the supreme bench yester day were six reversals of orders and; judgments of lower courts, four of them . by Chief Justice Cilfillan and two by.- Judge Dickinson. The important case J; reversed by Judge (iiltillan is the Lac,, Que Parle county seat contest. The. opinion in this is one that interests the : entire state, lt declares the act of 1885 ; unconstitutional on the ground' of spe cial iegislation.and puts back the county seats iii the six counties where changes have been made to the old places. In 1881 the state constitution was amended by adding sections Si j and Si to article 4. Section 33 j prohibits the enacting of any special I legislation for the change of county seats: section 34 says that in cases of county seat changes, the legislature shall provide general laws which .must be uniform in their application through out the state. Section 1 of article 11 provides that all laws for changing count seats in counties already organ ized, shall, liefore taking effect, be sub mitted to the electors of the county at next general election after their pas sage, and be adopted by a majority, etc. The act of 1885 prescribed a mode for changing county seats.- But the act embraced two rules. The body of the act said a majority of the electors should decide the matter, the proviso required a three-fifths vote for all coun ties where the matter had previously been acted upon. Now. in the language of the court, "the ameiulmnnt of 1881 abrogated the mede of removal by pro hibiting am special legislation, and. of course, did away with the necessity for submitting the matter to the electors. It is impracticable to submit a general law. The proposition that a, general law to be operative must be submitted to and adopted by the electors, would be absurd, ami equally absurd that the general law would be operative only in counties where it was adopted and in operative where it was rejected." By the amendment to the constitution the whole matter is left to the legislature, with the restriction that the mode shall lie general and the law uniform in its operation. The law WAS NOT UNIFORM, leeause it required a three-fifths vote in some counties and only a majority vat'- in others. It made a distinction in classifying the counties. The matter of classification is gone into at great length by the opinion, and the Pennsyl vania and New Jersey supreme court decisions are referred to. Judge Gil fillan holds, however, that in this case either the majority rale or the three fifths rule should apply uniformly throughout the state. Ihe court says the act is not udeonstiiutional becaus of. the proviso, for that alone is not uncon stitutional. The law is unconstitutional*' because it provides two rules not based upon any proper classification. To cut out either and leave the other to stand would be -legislation and not judicial 1 action. SF^H Since the act of 1885 was passed there' have been several bitter contests. not»; bly Lne gui Parle. Traverse and Murray counties. The court house was re moved from Carrie to Siaylon by in trigue and force in the night. There, , have been changes also in Jackson, Dodge and Wadena counties. From Lac gui Parle the county seat was rr-~ moved to Madison: in 'traverse county the change was from Brown's Valley to Wheaton; in Jackson- from Jackson to Lakefield: in Dodge from Kasson to Dodge Center: and in Wadena from Wadena loVerndale. State Auditor Braden says the deci sion of the supreme court will not affect the legality of the business which has been done at the new county seats since the change, for they have been county seats de facto, the same as an official is is an officer de facto until the courts de clared that he was not elected, and he becomes unseated. Judge Flandrau concurs in this opinion, lie said to a Globe reporter last night: '-The object of law is that the public shall not suffer through any irregularities of l "'nd, so long as they have the color of ait >r ity ami are authorized by law. Ti.ey are de facto county seats until the courts say they are not the same as a judge is' a judge de facto until the courts say he was not legally elected ; and his decisions are as legal and bind ing as if he had been properly entitled to his seat upon the bench all the t'me. Mind, I give this simply as a curb-stone opinion." CARS os ALL STREETS. In the St. Paul City Railway company case the court goes against the city council. On January 8. 1872, the coun cil passed the ordinance granting the franchise to lay tracks upon the ''streets of the" city" to the St. Paul "Street" Railway company, and ths legislature in the following February confirmed the ordinance. The . council afterwards passed a repealing ordinance, upon a protest from Pleasant avenue and Oak street residents, that all authority that had been granted by ordinance .to any person or persons, company or eorpota tion. to lay a railway track upon Pleas ant avenue and Oak street, between; Sixth and Kamsey streets, be revoked and repealed. The court holds that it is immaterial to the validity of the grant whether the company was a corporation or partnership, ami that the original grant was in the nature of the contract and if valid as to the city the. council could not rescind it. It also holds that although a municipal corporation can not irrevocably surrender any part of its control over the public streets with our the consent of the legislature, for it holds that power in trust for the state, vet when the ordinance was confirmed by the act of ISB3 it became as binding as though the council had had express authority to pass it, and from that time the power of the council to rescind or revoke it ceased. - The question - is : not whether the council may grant to other companies the right of way along its streets, but whether it can recall the right granted to the St. Paul City Bail way company now that the legislature has confirmed its action. Under this decision the city railway company has a right to lay its tracks upon any street in the city, until the legislature repeals the act of ISS3, and the council then revokes its ordinance.

The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway company has brought a suit in the United States circuit court against the board or railway and ware house commissioners, appealing. from the recent order of the commission re garding the rates to be charged for switching in the city of Minneapolis, whereby the maximum rate was fixed at *1 per car. The company says that its maximum rate is 81.50, which it consid ers a fair charge: also that a large num ber of cars switched are eft route to points outside of the state, but that the commission, in its order, made no dis tinction between cars engaged in inter state commerce and those otherwise en gaged; therefore, that so far as such order affects the first named cars, it is in usurption of authority without juris diction, and is illegal and wholly void. All of this the company claims is not legal and tends to the manifest wrong and injury of the relator. Wherefore, it prays that the defendant be perpetually enjoined from proceeding any further 'Under such order. The Chicago, Mil waukee A St. Paul road brings suit against the same defendants in the same court and on the same mounds, claim ing that the rate fixed is inadequate and asks for the same relief. COURT NOTES. Judge Kelly has rendered a decision in .the ease of the city, of St." Paul against Henry' Schmauss. The defendant was the owner of a triangular piece of land lying between De Soto street, Lafayette ; avenue and Collins street. In lSfio a fence was built around the property, which encroached upon the two first named streets. -This fence has been maintained for more than twenty.years, anil the 'defendant now claims the prop erty.' 'He has built a wall around the premises. Judge Kelly decides that the defendant is not the owner of the dis puted property by. virtue of his long occupation of the same, and that he be enjoined from maintaining the wall. In the case of Adam 11. Lohlker against George A. Nash, in which three feet of ground was the cause of the con troversy, Judge Kelly decides that the defendant is the owner of the disputed land.

GOT SEVEN YEARS. - John McNllle's Punishment Im posed By the Court Martial — Army Notes. . . The proceedings of the general court martial in the case of Private John Mc- Nillie, Troop M. Seventh cavalry, Fort Meade, Dak., have just been published. There were four separate charges and five specifications preferred against the prisoner, recounting the stealing of a horse from his troop, together with a miscellaneous lot of horse equipments, a pistol, sabre, etc., and desertion. The court finds the prisoner guilty of the charges alleged, and sentences him to be dishonorably discharged from the service of the United States, forfeiting all pay and allowances now due or that may become due him, and to be con fined at hard labor in such penitentiary as ihe reviewing authority may direct, for the period of ten years.

She has a pretty and intelligent face and pleasing manners. She is said to have been "circus crazy" for some time and ambitious to be a circus performer. She went to the circus yes terday afternoon.- and directly after coming home, dressed herself in some old clothing belonging to her father and skipped out.

Ferry, speaking at a Tirailleur banquet at Epital to-day, dilated npon the uses of rifle societies. Such societies, he said, represented a practical patriotism that was silent and hard working, a patriotism very differ ent from the noisy, uproarious, empty patriotism favored in certain circles. He expressed disapproval of the project to reduce the terms of service in the army. It was not a national guard that France needed, but a defen sive army proportionate to the offnsive forces '.- surrounding her. He praised- the army for always remaining aloof from politics. He denounced those who he said, ac cused the government of being anti national because it wouldn't allow the mob to interfere with the deliberate ac tion of the duty, constitute public pow ers nor follow the mob behind the car of a God of the music . halls. AA'hat did France the greatest injury in the eyes of Europe was division and .an appar ent government of . anarchy. He con cluded by drinking to the republic uniting under its patriotic banner all Republicans and all Frenchmen. The toast was received . with great enthusi asm. _ To Prosecute O'Brien..: .-/; .

Post Growing in Interest-General Northwestern News. Special to the Globe. Cumberland, Wis., July 25.— Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha passenger train, due here from the north at 2:07 this morning, was wrecked at Hunter's Spur, about forty rods north of the depot here. The engineer, John Donahue, and fireman, George Webster, were killed, and Baggageman Charles Martell was slightly injured by being jammed between "toe contents of his car. There were a large number of pas sengers aboard the train, including the directors of the Minnesota & North western railway, but none of the pas sengers were injured. The train con sisted of the baggage car, smoking car, coach, Minneapolis sleeper, Minnesota & Northwestern business car and St. Paul sleeper, in the order named. The engine was turned on its side in the ditch and badly wrecked, while the ten der was thrown onto the bank. The fireman and engineer were both buried under the engine and debris. The bag gage car was thrown clear of the track and laid at right angles to it, shingled onto the top of the tender. The smoker left the track on the opposite side from the engine and baggage car, and ran into a large pine stump, doubtless PREVENTED A greater LOBS of LIFE. The forward coach was in the ditch and partly on its side, while the Minneapo lis sleeper was off the track, left stand ing upright The Minnesota & North western business car and St. Paul sleeper stayed on the track. The acci dent was caused by a switch being left open. It seems that the work train, en gine ami caboose, B. F. Payne, con ductor, followed the passenger train, due here from the south at I :3o,and Con ducter Payne sent his brakeman. Harry Hartney, to side-track the engine and caboose on what is known as Hunter's or Cook's spur. The train was side tracked all right but it seems that the switch was not closed. Engineer Dona hue lived at Hudson and had been on the road for eight years. Both the en gineer and fireman were single men. The coroner's jury found that Hartney, the brakeman, who put the work train on the spur, was responsible for the ac cident, and he was arrested on a charge of manslaughter. He will have an ex amination to-morrow. Killed by Lightning. Special to the Globe.

Further Developments in the Pres ent Rumpus. Special to the Globe. . . .'.''■ m-U^'f- Madison, AA is., July .25.— Matters with regard to the row in . Gen. Fair child's G. A. R. post took on a decidedly interesting turn to-night J.W. Car man, the officer of the day, who became unruly and kicked up a muss at the last meeting by removing his insignia of of fice, together with the badge of the or der, and declaring he had had enough of the G. A. R., comes out with a letter to-night saying there was no row or political talk of any kind. This letter must have been the outgrowth of a sud den change of mind on the part of Car man, as he was in fact the man who gave the whole thing away in the first place. In response to this letter Hugh Lewis, a one-armed veteran of the Iron brigade and a great personal friend of Gen. Bragg, and who caused the first sensation in the post by withdrawing from the G. A. R. some weeks ago because of a scur rilous song gotten out reflecting on Gen. Bragg, makes a sworn statement of the facts of the case before a notary public. In it lie states the conversation between himself and Carman on the night in question, when Carman told him all about the rumpus as stated in a previous dispatch. He also makes public another interesting fact in the case, which is that Carman afterward approached him in a confidential manner and asked him to use his influence to secure him a posi tion in the Madison postoffice, as, being a life-long Democrat, he was entitled to such a place. This Lewis did, and ob tained Carman an interview with Post master Gregory; and it is said Gregory promised him the first vacant position. Now, however, something lias seized the mind of Mr. Carman and he sud denly appears on the other side of the fence. This affair is likely to cause a. great commotion in the Grand Army. It becomes more and more muddled its new developments show themselves, and there -is no knowing what will be • the ultimate result. A Frontier Quarantine.
