THANKSGIVING.
Let us eat turkey and bo thankful to
day. With some of us everything hasn't
gone our way in politics, but for all that
there is a great deal of cause for grati
tude. Things might have been worse.
The year has been fruitful, and the
earth has yielded food for the nations.
There has been a reasonable degree of
business prosperity iv this country, not
withstanding the political excitement
with which the land is cursed every
four years. All our national affairs
are in good shape. We are at
■peace with all the world, if we
have an eye" on Canada. If there is
a slight stringency in money matters we
have the satisfaction of ; knowing that
there is a big surplus in the treasury.
It is consoling to know that we have
something* to fall bacK on, and' the
thought will give relish to the turkey
and cranberry sauce we will have for
dinner to-day. It is true there has been
no reduction in taxes, an. l tho trusts
and monopolies are all in high feather.
But for all that, we . are going to be
thankful, because we are going to
have the legislature this winter, and we
are going to have a senatorial election
with a prospect of a good deal of money
being put into circulation. There is
always a good deal of commingling of
good and evil in this world, but the
true philosophy of a Thanksgiving ob
servance is to overlook the bad and
be devoutly grateful for the good that
is in sight. That's what Thanksgiving
day is for, and it must be observed ac
cording to the true spirit of the procla
mation and the flavor of the turkey.

"LEAVING THE G. A. R. -
The movement inaugurated by Gen.
Palmer, of Illinois, and Gen. Matt
son, of Indiana, which promises to de
velop into a concerted action among the
Democratic members of the Grand
Army to withdraw from that organiza
tion, is the logical result of permitting
the organization to pass under the lead
ership of demagogues like Foraker
and FAincniLD. The Grand Army was
organized on a strictly non-political and
non-partisan basis, and if it had ad
hered to the original idea of its
organization it would not now
be threatened with dissolution. It
occurred in this, as in so many other in
stances, that the professional politician
insinuated himself into the confidence
of the organization for the purpose of
abusing that confidence by perverting
the organization from its original pur
pose and converting; it into an engine for
the promotion of his selfish ambition.
Gen. Palmer has occasion to know the
drift that the Grand Army has taken
under tiie -riddance of leaders of the
Foraker type, for he was recently hon
ored by his party with a nomination for
office, and was made to feel the extreme
partisan .-force the organization exerts.
Although he was a distinguished Union
soldier iv the war of the Rebellion, and
since the war has won honors in civil
life, still he was as completely ostra
cized by the Grand Army officials in the
late campaign as if he had been a trai
tor, and for no other reason than that
he was a candidate on the Democratic
ticket. Under these circumstances it is
no wonder that, impelled by a sense of
self-respect, veterans of Democratic
persuasion all over the country have
made up their minds to withdraw from
the Grand Army as it is at present or
ganized, and let it be in name, what it
has proved to be in fact, only a Repub
lican campaign machine.
mm
SO APOLOGY TO OFFER.
The Albany Argus insists that the St.
Paul Globe, the St. Louis Republic and
the Evansville Courier ail owe apologies
to Gov. Hill for having questioned his
loyalty tothe Democratic national ticket
in the late presidential contest, and de
mand that our expressions of regret be
at once handed in to his excellency on a
silver platter. We know nothing of the
disposition of our St. Louis and Evans
ville contemporaries: but, so far as the
Globe is concerned, wo have nothing
to retract, and have said .nothing that
we wish to apologize for. In the first
place, we refuse to recognize Gov.
Hill's right, through his personal organ
or otherwise, to demand an apology for
anything said in the way of criticism of
his public career. In the second place,
if he had such a right, we have said
nothing that would demand an apolo
getic explanation. The most we have
said, and we stick to it, was that Gov.
Hill's victory under the circumstances
would probably prove a dearly bought
one for him. President Cleveland
has generously acquitted Gov. Hill of
all suspicions of loyalty to himself or to
his administration, and no one else is
now in position to question it. At the
same time, that does not -relieve Gov.
Hill from the embarrassment which
always comes from the enjoyment
of a personal victory at ■■'-■ the
expense of party success. We do not
say, nor have we ever said, that Gov.
Hill is individually to blame for this
peculiar state of affairs; but being tire
beneficiary, he will have to accept all
the consequences of it. If it gives
him the nomination for the presidency
in 1892, he will have no reason to be dis
gruntled at the criticisms which are now
showering in upon him. If it defeats
him for the nomination, or is an ele
ment of weakness to him in the election
in case he gets the nomination, he can
not bewail the stroke of misfortune
which befell him in running 30,000
votes ahead of the national ticket at
an election where the national Democ
racy were interested in the success of
the national ticket and didn't care a
bauble about the state ticket. Gov.
Hill's sensitiveness under censure is
probably being intensified just now by
beholding the honors bestowed by the
Republicans upon his defeated com
petitor in the gubernatorial race, -for
having so heroically sacrificed himself
upon the altar of party success. If
Warner Miller had been elected gov
ernor and Harbison had lost New York
state, Mr. Miller would now be experi
encing the same unpleasantness that
afflicts Gov. Hill. In conclusion, we
would simply remind Gov. Hill that it
is a condition which confronts him and
not a theory, and the sooner he lets this
subject drop into innocuous desuetude
the better it will be for his political as
pirations. -,
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
The anticipations of great gains to
the Republicans under the census of
1890, by increase of population in states
controlled by them, and the transfer of
the political center westward, are likely
to come much short of being | realized.
There will be material changes, but
they will not greatly disturb* the pres
ent relative power of sections or parties.
The present ratio for a member of con
gress is 151.912.' This gives a house of
325 members, '-.which' is conceded to be
quite large enough. To keep it down
to these figures the ratio of the new ap
portionment must be well toward 200,
--00 0.: Under this, Minnesota will proba
bly gain two" congressmen,- making
seven. The Dakotas will have three in
all, and the other -territories admitted
one each. Kansas will gain two, or
three, perhaps. The Republicans may
THE PAINT PAXIL: DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNESTG, NOVEMBEB 29, 188 a
presume upon some »■ advantage in
these accessions. ' On the , other
band, Texas will ; have sixteen,
to eighteen" ■ Missouri will gain one or *
two. ;. The - other Western states will
hardly hold their present number. Chi- ■
cago will gain one or two .members at
the expen**-* of the rest of the state, with
advantage .0 the Democrats, and .New
York city will substitute two or three
Democrats " for- Republicans in the in
terior. The New ' England I*states1 * states will
lose probably two or three Republicans,
and the South will Jose a little in some
states and add others, with no im
portant change in the aggregate While
states in each of -:. the great ;. sections of
the country will lose, there will be sains '.
iii others. -Portion's of ' the j South" are
developing rapidly, and the great states ;
of the East are" keeping well up. The
diffusion of the new ; population has
been '.-".more general than in former dec
ades. The West will gain, but at a less
ratio than heretofore. .
THEOniO MAN.
; Gen. Harrison's main trouble in con
structing a cabinet will be to please the .
Ohio man. This übiquituous individual
has a genius for bobbing up in political
affairs where his presence is most"* em
barrassing. A Republican administra
tion without an - Ohio man well up in
the front row would be an anomaly in
American politics. Gen. Harrison rec
ognizes this fact, but the trouble: with
him is to decide wnich Ohio man to
select for a cabinet office. There is so
large a surplus of office seekers among
the Ohio Republicans, it is difficult to
make a satisfactory distribution of
official plums among them. Where
one is taken and the others are left,
there is sure to be a big-sized row in
the camp, and it is an utter impossi
bility to find government holes to put
all the Ohio pegs in. This is just the
dilemma that the president-elect finds
himself, in with regard to giving Ohio a
representative in the cabinet. Senator
Sherman was Gen. Harrison's closest
competitor in the Chicago conven
tion, and, by all precedent and
political courtesy, is entitled to the
offer of a cabinet position. Con
gressman McKinley is the fa
vorite son in. Ohio, and, having
alone shared with Mr. Blame the hon
ors of the tariff discussion, is justly en
titled to recognition. But there is For
aker, howling and clawing the air in
his frantic endeavor to be recognized as
the one Ohio statesman of sufficient
prominence to occupy a cabinet post.
Thus it is seen at a glance what an ele
phant Ohio is on the hands of the pres
ident-elect in the work of making up a
cabinet.
HB-i
SOMETHING IN- A NAME.
In a half-column editorial the New
York Sun delivers to Mrs. Cleveland
a timely lecture for her thoughtlessness
in selecting a name for the Lamont
baby. When Baby Lamont was born
the other day, the parents considerately
determined to name the little girl after
the lady who has presided over the
executive family with such queenly
grace for the last four years. But, with
that .harming modesty which is a trait
of our sweet first lady of the land, Mrs.
Cleveland begged that instead of
naming the baby after her Mrs. Lamont
would grant her the privilege of select
ing the name. This was done, and
Baby Lamont was christened Mar
guerite. The fault our New York
contemporary has to find with the
name is that it is French, and it would
have been so much more appropriate to
have bestowed upon an American girl
the honest old English name, Mar
garet. The Sun says there is no lan
guage whose feminine names are -more
euphonious and more dignified than the
English, and censures the president's
wife for encouraging the foolish tend
ency of this American generation for
running after everything with a foreign
flavor to it. According to the Sun's
idea, there is something in a name, es
pecially when it comes to bestowing
names on our children. *-*_

represent an era that has been out

enumeration to the population alone,

WRIGHT SET RIGHT.
A Telegram Which Did a Postal
;'_?:-': Clerk an Injury.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In your issue of Nov. 26 appeared a
communication from St. Thomas, Dak.,
under the headlines of "Political Jug
gling." which would tend to cloud the
reputation 1 have always been given for
honesty and integrity were it to go un
explained and unanswered. " I am a
postal clerk on the line running through j
St." Thomas, Dak.,' and the first intima
tion I ever had of the loss of a registered
package by the postmaster there was on
the 20th day of October, when : lip
and one or two other parties ; forced
their way into my mail car at
that place and demanded of mfc
8100, The postmaster claims that _
pouch containing this letter came from
Giasston, Dak., to his office, and .was
opened, and the letter was left lying on
the table. After" a few hours .it was
missed,' and the deputy postmaster who
made up the mail concluded -he must
have accidentally.- thrown: it : into the
pouch he made up for my train. This
case has been investigated and settled
by the postoffice inspectors sent to ex
amine into it. I have been found guilt
less, and the postmaster at St. Thomas'
has been compelled to pay over the
amount of the supposed con tents of the
letter. ' His attempt to injure me,
supplemented- by the false impression
given of this matter by other parties,
will be attended to by my attorneys,
who are now preparing suits for dam
ages in my favor. This postmaster
swears out a warrant charging me with
embezzlement, and has compelled.me to
employ counsel and defend. The con
tinuance of the case has been made by
my attorneys. There has been no rea
son for my attendance for j examination
thus far, and not one iota of proof could
be advanced to show that I ever saw
this package. It was either lost or
stolen or misappropriated by this post
master himself or some other person, or
in some way or place that I know noth
ing of whatever. 1 believe you will
correct your statement of the 26th and
in the future be more sure of the facts
in the case before you publish any
thing; so injurious to my reputation,
especially after I have been found guilt
less by the special agent of the govern
ment, as in this instance. And I want
it plainly and distinctly understood
that the statements made that "certain
politicians in St. Paul are interfering
in this matter and obstructing, the ma
chinery of justice," is an infamous lie,
and is only a scheme concocted by the
parties sending these telegrams to the
St. Paul papers. Please give this equal
publicity with your communication re
ferred to in order, that justice may be
done in the opinions of your many read
ers. Respectfully, M. C. Wright,

Of general ' thanksgiving for - the mani

world, the state and the' individual, and
by-devoting a portion of the twenty*

amusements of many and varied hue
are presented on every side, and- no
matter what the taste or habit >of : . the
individual may be, it is safe to say that
the ? veriest misanthrope . could find
amusement in the Saintly City to-day.
j After the proverbially fat Thanks
givin<r turkey has been disposed of and
the " plum Z pudding has a place but in
memory, an hour or two of sober re
flection upon the manner of disposing
of afternoon and evening will be pro
lific of results. All of the theaters will
eive a matinee, and at the > even
ing performance special provision will
be made for accommodating the crowds
who will be in attendance. The foot
ball game on the West Seventh street
grounds will be sure to attract lovers cf
athletics. The leap year german
promises a happy time to a favored few,
while numerous other social events
furnish abundant material from which
to draw for an evening of :
HFAT.THY AND INNOCENT AT-fTTSEMENT.
Thanksgiving day is a national holi
day, and in accordance with the proper
observation of so dignified an event,
the national, state, county and munici
pal offices will be closed. The police
and fire departments will continue to
do business at the old stands, and will
be the sole representatives of the
country's dignity, unless the postoffice is
taken into account, which will be open
from 7 until 10 this morning, for the ac
commodation of all who desire to eet
their mail. The wholesale houses will
be uniformly closed, and the retail
stores will very generally suspend busi
ness for the day. The railroad offices
will close at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
by general agreement, and the day will
be yen largely to pleasure after the
morning hours with their incidental
reli-ious duties.
Each household will make a special
effort to have a Thanksgiving dinner
which will sustain the reputation of the
housewife who is directly .
RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS SUCCESS. ;
At the hotels particular stress will be .
laid upon this formal recognition of ,
boMdav-time, and at each of the houses
elaborate preparations have been made
for staving off the ravages of hunger.
The Ryan, Merchants, Windsor and
Clifton will vie with each other in the
preparation of elaborate dinners, and,
•at the former hostelry the highly
fashionable hour of 5 has been set
apart, for the diners. The hotels will
be patronized very largely, and many of
those who are without the pale of social
home enjoyments will se< k one of the
city's largest hostelries, and at the con
clusion of a hearty dinner stroll " into
the lobby. If a friend is not found, a
quiet meditation to 'the accompaniment
of a good cigar will facilitate digestion,
and cause one. to forget the troubles
and ills of this world. *-**;

' MEXICO'S RESOURCES.
Capitalists "Will Find a Field for
Unbounded Speculation. - .'",'."•
, W. C. Read, a well-known real estate
dealer of St. Paul, who has been mak

month, returned to the city yesterday,
and will eat Thanksgiving dinner at

'•Mexico is about fifty, years behind
the times," remarked the traveler, as he
inhaled a corn-husk wrapper | cigarette.
"and the principal industries are silver
mines and bull fiehts. I was a spectator
at half a dozen of the latter during my
sojourn in the land of the Montezumas,**
but I must say that a ball game is far
more* preferable to the brutal sport.
Great; interest was manifested at the
Mexican capital concerning the result
■of the recent election for president of
the United States, and bulletins were
received and displayed at all the pop
ular resorts.
i • "There is no doubt about it, Mexico is
a' wonderful silver country, and the sup
ply of the precious metal seems to be
inexhaustible. What is needed,.how
ever, to develop the mines is better and
cjiodern machinery, and the field open
to capitalists in this respect cannot be
overestimated. ' ;
|j "QUEEN TOPAZ."
Brilliant Initial Production of
an Exquisite Opera. **"
; ; In. the musical rendition, in en
semble, 'in costuming, in vocalization,
in orchestration, and in all that per
tains to an opera performance, - there
could be no more complete or finished
production than "Queen Topaz,"
which was "sung by the Boston Ideal
company at the Grand opera house last
evening. As a musical - composition,
the opera is , a masterpiece, "and the
wonder is that we have? not known,
more of it in this country. It is gemmed
with arias of most exquisite strain, and
the music throughout is of that deli
cate ; quality which never fails \to
fascinate the listener. In the second act
the music is a trifle heavy in places, but
there is no suspicion of heaviness in the
other two acts. Everything is bright
ness and -vivacity. The [ splended cos
tuming adds to the charm: of "- the : per
formance so that neither ear nor eye
grows weary. The ' plot is rather of the
regulation opera style,: with love and
jealousy*; and intrigue ' all : in a bundle.
The action progresses in the sixteenth
century, and the scene is laid in Venice.
Leonora Salviati, a young Italian noble
woman, has been : stolen in . childhood
by a GypsyJ.banrl, and brought up ; by
their ruler under the name of Queen
I Topaz, as his -daughter. Meeting Capt.
Rafael, a soldier of fortune, who has
shown much- kindness toward her peo
ple while enforcing the decree of .: ban
ishment uttered against i tham by ■ the
Duke of Milan, Topaz protects him from
: the avenging daggers of ; the tribe, and
soon falls In love with him. Rafael,
who has been carrying 'on : a flirtation
with l Countess";. Filomele .at Vicenza,
shares Topaz's * tender feeling. Mean
while Filomele, who is courted by Anni
bale Barbiano, a wealthy Venetian.finds
Rafael in Venice, a.nd, becoming aware
that his continued presence is the con
sequence of his love for Topaz, enters
into a plot : with Annibale, whereby
Rafael is temporarily convinced of: his
sweetheart's inconstancy. But Topaz
promptly turns the ' tables. Her . faith
ful subjects— the 'leaders being dis
guised as noblemen— possession of '
Barbiano's palace on .". the - night \of a
grand festa. Topaz herself is seen as
the rightful bearer of the illustrious
name Salviati, and captivates all
hearts. * Annibale is induced to par
take of drugged wine, and, while
helpless and half-unconscious, is made
the hero of a mock marriage with To
paz; Rafael, naturally, being in utter
dismay at the supposititious loss of the
woman he still doats upon. In the end,
of course, all things are explained.
Topaz's descent is proclaimed, and her
union with Rafael foreshadowed, while
Annibale wins the hand of Filomele,
and forgets his : period of probation in
anticipations of nuptial bliss. Amus
ing episodes, incidental to the main
plot, are Topaz's flrtation with half a
dozen young noblemen, and the comic
business of Fritellino and Francatrippa,
two Gypsy leaders. It is faint praise to
Miss de Lussan to saj that she never ap
peared to better advantage in opera than
in the role of Leonara in "Queen
Topaz." If the composer had been
familiar, with the quality of her voice,
and had written the score of the title
role for Miss de Lussan, instead of for
Miolan-Carvolla, he could not have
made a more happy hit, for it is as
natural to her as if she had been born
singing it. Certainly a St. Paul audi
ence never heard her sing with more
ease, or with more brilliant effect, than
last night, and the audience was not at
all stinted in its expressions of de
light. The honors borne by Miss de
Lussan last evening were fairly shared
by Miss yon Januschowsky, who per
formed the marvelous feat of singing a
tenor role in the part of Rafael
with such complete success that
a straneer would never have
suspected "her of being the possessor of
a pure soprano voice. It was a triumph
in musical art that but few women
could achieve. In the last act of
"Queen Topaz" are two arias of un
excelled romantic sweetness, as warm
as the south wind, and every note as
delicately perfumed as the breezes
which blow from a bunch of violets.
One is the aria "All My Wishes Are
Now Fulfilled," sung by Miss De
Lussan, and the other, "O Dainty
Flower, Speak to Her for Me," sung by
Miss Yon Januschowsky. The comedy
work was carried in excellent style by
Miron and Baxter, who were heartily
i encored on their funny business in the
last act.
■"Faust" is the bill for the Thanks
giving matinee performance this after
noon, and "The Barber of Seville" will
be repeated this eueuing. The follow
ing is the cast of "Faust" for the mat
inee performance:
Faust Frank Baxter
Meflstofele W. H. Clark
Valentine... W. 11. Mortens
Wagner ;.;.S. H. Dudley
Margherita Georgiene yon Januschowsky
Siebel... -..-. Alalie Claire
Martha May Warren
-Manager Foster should give another
performance ■"" of "Queen Topaz" be- >
fore leaving the city.. The merits of the
opera were not known to our people
until last night, and it is something that
no one wants to miss. We do not want
to appear meddlesome, but we take the
liberty to suggest that it would be a
more acceptable performance than either
"Carmen" or "Faust," which are to be
repeated. * ;. - . '">

DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
6. A. R. Hen Admit That a Split Is In
evitable;^|^Bfl
DEMOCRATS ARE DISGUSTED.
Hoosier . Members of the Order Deny
That Trouble Will En
sue.
Special to the Globe.
New York, Nov. Grand Army
men in this city seem to recognize the
importance of the movement begun in
Indianapolis yesterday; and admit that
a split in the organization is inevitable.
Joseph A. Joel, editor of the Grand
Army Gazette, says tho movement will
be national in extent. He says the Dem
ocratic members have always been
treated as more or less interlopers in
the G. A. R. The order has always had
politics in it, and the Republicans have
always -' run it. The Democrats have .
been ostracised and treated as traitors,
even when they had been maimed in
battling for the Union . Other G. A. R.
men Indorse these statements and say
that the Democrats now propose to form
anon-political and charitable organiza
tion,, such as the G. A. R.
was originally intended to be. The
new order will be called by some such
name as "The Union Veteran associa
tion," and all Union . veterans will be
welcome. It is expected that many Re
publican ex-soldiers, who feel that the
G. A. R. has been run as a political ma
chine, will join the new organization.
MATSON NOT IN THK SWIM.
Washington, Nov. 28.— Referring to.
the published statement of Congress
man Matson, believed to be at the
head of the movement to organize a
Democratic G. A. R., that gentleman
says he knows nothing of it except
what he has read in the newspapers,
and consequently is not at the head, or
at any other part of the affair. The
other statement in the dispatch— that
his friends expect him to follow Gen.
Palmer's course and withdraw from the
G. A. : R— he says .is also without
foundation. He never was a member
of the organization and cannot with
draw. . .* ; : '
During the campaign Matson and
Myers regiments of veterans were
formed in every county in Indiana, and
it is probable that these organizations
form the basis of the new movement in
that state, but of this he cannot speak by
authority.
BOOSIEKS ARE HOT.
They Disclaim All Knowledge of
a Wholesale Break in the Ranks.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 28.— An ex
traordinary news item, under an Indian
apolis date, was given wide circulation
last night, stating that "about 1,200
Democratic veterans, members of the G.
A. R. posts scattered over the state,hcld
in the capital building last nigh
a secret meeting at which it was
resolved that every Democratic man-
of the G. A. R. should abandon the
order, and all present pledged them
selves to withdraw from their posts.
Adjutant Gen. Koontz presided. A
name and a constitution for the new
order proposed for the Democratic vet
erans .were adopted." That a full regi
! ment of veterans should have held such
: a meeting as alleged without the local
press discovering . their presence in the
city seemed incredible, and nowhere was
the publication a fresher news item than
right here at home. An investigation
to-day shows that less than sixty Demo
cratic veterans held a quiet meeting at
the rooms of the adjutant general last
night, and discussed the subject of
WITHDRAWING FROM .THE O. A. R.
on alleged political grounds. Col. J. N.
Walker, assistant adjutant general of
the G. A. R. department of Indiana and
the executive officer of the order in this
state, in an interview to-night with the
Associated Press reporter, requested
that a correction .of the publication
should be offered the press. He states
that no application for withdiawal
of membership, from the G. A. R.
has been made to him, and
that, he is the officer to whom
such applications must come. That so
far from the Indiana department de
creasing in membership, the applica
tions for permits for special musters to
initiate new members have doubled
within the past two weeks. That dur
ing the late campaign the membership
increased '100 in the very heat of the
contest, and that the roll just returned
for the last quarter shows a member
ship of over -25.000. If any disaffec
tion is threatened for- supposed
political or other causes, Col. Walker
says neither he nor Department Com
mander Gen. A. D. Vandosdol are'aware
of that fact. Members can withdraw
in good standing at any time by paying
tlieir dues and requesting a discharge.
Col. Walker admitted it was possible
Adjt.-Gen. Koontz and a small number
of other Democratic veterans
IMAGINED THEY HAD GRIEVANCE
but denied emphatically that the G. A.
R. had in any way been turned into a
political machine, and cited the reunion
of a regiment of veterans here during
the campaign where there was oue
Democratic member present, and out of
consideration for his political views,
the 300 others refrained from offering a
resolution to visit Gen. Harrison in
a body, and they consequently
called as citizens, not as veterans.
He further stated that he was in
receipt of a number ot letters to-day
from Democratic veterans, s ating that
they had no intention of withdrawing,,
that they had no complaints, political
or otherwise. Col. Walker and other
leading G. A. R. do not believe that
Col. Matson, the late Democratic candi
date for governor, is in any way coun
tenancing or aiding any move to divide
the veterans on political grounds.
A meeting was held to-night at the
Hendricks club rooms by some three
score Democratic G. A. R. veterans, at
which an organization was perfected,
known as the Democrat Soldiers' and
Sailors' Veteran association of Indiana.
This organization is the result of
what has been termed the revolt
against the G. A. R. The
object of the new association is
set forth in the following preamble to
their constitution and* by-laws: The
purpose of this association shall be to
inculcate the true principles of patriot
ism, love of country, and to foster and
maintain true Democratic principles
in the administration of the govern
ment, both state and national,
and secure a pure, simple, and ef
ficient administration of the i same and
to resist with all our might any .and
every encroachment upon the constitu
tional rights and liberties of the people.
To preserve and strengthen those kind
and fraternal feelings which should
bind together those who, as " sol
diers, sailors and marines united
to suppress the rebellion and to
perpetuate the memory and history of
the dead. To aid in every possible way
all persons who have been honorably
discharged from the military and naval
service of the United States. To secure
for them preferment and promotion
in the civil service, etc. After
the adoption of the constitution,
the .: . following officers were . elec
ted. President, '. R. A. Taylor; Secre
tary,W. C. , LarKington; treasurer, L.
C.Daniels: vice president, Samuel C.

Inspector Bonfield's Startling Testi
mony Denounced by the Wild-
Eyed Anarchist.
Special to the Globe.
CmcAGo. Nov. 28.— startling tes
timony of "Informer" Chleboun yester
day had the effect of attracting as big a
crowd to Judge Collins' court this morn-'
ing as the room would hold, Hronek
had changed a good deal since yester
day morning. He looked worried and
shifted about nervously in his seat, and
eagerly listened to every word of the
testimony. The first witness was
Officer Muchaski, one of Inspector
Bonfield's Bohemian detectives. The
officer told of an interview which
Hroneck had had in the jail office in tho
presence of himself. Inspector Bon
field, State's Attorney Longenecker, a
stenographer and Officer Nordrum.
Hronek said that the bombs in his pos
session had been made by one Schnei
der, who lived on Henry street. Hronek
declared that Schneider had made
BOMBS FOB LOUIS LINGO.
, Hronek told the - inspector that he had
120 eight-ounce sticks of dynamite hid
den in his own house. At the close of
Witness Muchaski's testimony, Inspect
or Bonfield was called to the witness
stand and testified that he had an inter
view with Informer Chleboun about the
middle of last July. From information
furnished by Chleboun, Bonfield set
officers to work on tho case
and two days . later took out
warrants for the arrest of Hronek
and another anarchist named Chapek,
who will be tried after the Hronek case
is disposed of. The inspector said that
ho went to Hronek's house and ' there
found hidden in the bed tick a large
dirk knife, a revolver, a dynamite bomb
and numerous pieces of iron, all of
which were then exhibited to the jury.
Alter arresting Hronek, the inspector
went to the place where Chleboun was
working, and took him home to his
room, where he found
EIGHT STICKS OP DYNAMITE
and an iron bomb similar to the one
found in Hronek's bed. The attorney
for the defense cross examined Bonfield
without changing the testimony. and
the state rested its case. , The prisoner,
Hronek, was then sworn in his own de
fense, and testified that he was not an
anarchist and never had been. He then
made a general denial of Informer
Chleboun's story. He never manufact
ured, or in any manner handled any dy
namite bombs. He acknowledged, how
ever, going with Chleboun to locate
Judge Grinnell's residence at the sug
gestion of the former, and then became
suspicious that Chleboun was conspir
ing against him (Hronek). He had
never said anything about revenge, and
never said he had intended to kill
President Cleveland, or that he would
throw bombs into the court room. An
adjournment was then taken till 10
o'clock Friday morning.

always been proud of his honest re
cord that he has always paid his way.

note giving his tools to a friend, who
will sell them and pay the $2.50.
