The chairman of the Republican state.committee ofNew York has the record of de-

claring thai Blalnc cannot car.y that state.

To tin averment of the New York Tribunethai Logan speaks French and Spanish, theRichmond Dispatch exclaims: "Is that whatyoucall it1 We luid thought it was an at-tempt to speak English."

The Augusta (Ga.,) Chronicle is struck withthe ludicrousne&s of the formation of the Re-publican ticket and "the growing convictionthrough the North th.it Logan Is too big for

Brother Blame has caused itto be an-nounced that he will make his campaignheadquarters at Augusta, "only runningdown to his summer cottage at Bar Harborwhen he is tired and needs rest." After thesummer is over Brother Blame willhave allthe time to "rest" in, and itis hoped he willnot get too "tired" to make itinteresting be-fore the early part ofNovember.

The Portland, Maine, Advertiser gives thefollowing crumb of information regardingthe antecedents ofßlaine'6head Whooper-up.The Advertiser says "Steve Elkin's father is astaunch Democrat and an out-and-out Thur-man man, but he seems to have permittedhis son to worship the Golden Calf of spoilsRepublicanism." Many a worthy father isbrought to sorrow by a wayward son.

Itappears that the good Deacon Nettletonattended the game of base ball at WhiteBear on Sunday and made a report of it forhis Sabbath-breaking Monday morning issue.Since he swore to the assessor that the Tri-bune was worth only $12,000 and askedNimmocks $250,000 the good Deacon hasgrown reckless. Itis time that the Congrega-tional club took him in hand and spankedhim.

MeHenderson who as chairman ofthe Re-publican national convention went toMaineto report the proceedings to Mr. Blame ex-presses his disappointment about the Blamefeeling inthe East. He found noenthusiasm,and nothing like the heartiness tnat appearsto exist westward. The fact is "down East"the public knows the man, and that know-lege is an absolute barrier to enthusiasm. Itoperates like a mill-stone.

Mr. Wm. C. Wiiitsey, formerly corpora-tion counsel of the city of New York, wherehe resides, and who is also the son-in-law ofHon. Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, is a delegateto the Democratic national convention. Toa fellow Harvard Law School graduate he re-marked on Saturday: "It's all bosh aboutCleveland; he's only an air-bubble on thepolitical surface. But don't be afraid

—who-

ever -we nominate is going to win." So saywe, all of us.

The question is being discussed whetheror not Minister Lowell should be pensioned.He is clearly disabled, and the causes of hisdisability have arisen during his period in

the government service. Under such cir-cumstances he seems to he wholly eligible.The Government ha6no right to require aman to occupy a position where his dutiesconsist ofeating fine dinnore, and drinkingnice wines, and when he gets the gout, turnhim adrift. The pension should be liberal.

The Prohibitionists continually runagainstsnags. At Saline, Kansas, six saloon keep-ers were convicted under the new prohibi-tion constitutional amendment, and sen-tenced to fine and imprisonment. Anappealwas taken to the Governor of the state, andthe showing made that the Prosecuting At-torney packed the juries that convicted the

men. Upon this basis the Chief Magistratefound it to be his duty to pardon the con-victed men, as dishonest prosecution is apersecution not contemplated by the law.

The Baltimore American professes to haveacquired inside information to the effect that

Postmaster General Grusham willnot returnto the bench, as he expects to retain his pres-ent Cabinet position under Blame's adminis-tration. How is that for cheek. SupposeBlame should have an "administration"(which he won't) think of seeing an oldpump like Grusham in it. Mulligan Jimwants the Steve Elkins kind of men when hehe has occasion to use any. Brother Grushammay as well order his tin office "shingle"painted, he willneed by the time the paintgets dry.

Minnesota is to be especially honorednext week by the assembling at Faribault ofthe fifth annual conference of principals andsuperintendents of the institutions for theDeaf and Dumb in the United States andCanada. Prof. Noyes, superintendent of the

Minnesota institution, extended the invita-tion for the conference which was promptlyaccepted. Itis expected that there willbefrom seventy-five to one hundred institutionsrepresented having the oare of from eight toten thousand of the afflicted. The sessionwill begin on the evening of the 9th andcontinue three days. Itwill be one of themost notable conferences ever held in thestate. .

The Boston papers are yearning to be in-

formed "who Jones is, anyhowl" and someof the Pennsylvania papers seem Inclined tofurnish the information. For instance, thePhiladelphia Times expresses the opinionthat, "Benjamin F. Jones willmake &highlyrespectable and solid chairman ofthe Repub-lican national committee, with great abilityin drawing and commanding checks for thecommittee's exchequer; and Elkins, Newand Chaffee will make a jingo executivecommittee toput the money where itwilldothe most good and run the campaign ongeneral high jinks methods." The Harris-burg Patriot takes the same view, as itsays"there is one obvious advantage in givingthe chairmanship ofthe Republican nationalcommittee to Mr.B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg.Elklne, Chaffee and New can hold a carnivalof corruption about him and he'd never finditout."

________AV AVVEALFOR HARMONY.

The Fourth district Republican committeeis to meet at Minneapolis to-morrow to takeinto consideration what shall be done inref-erence to Mr. Barker's nomination of J. B.Gilfillan forcongress. Mr.Gilfillandoes notrepresent the Republican party; he does notrepresent any principle. He was not nomi-nated by the Republican party and the Re-publican party is not bound tosupport him.He represents the distinguished Barker andBarker only, by whom he was nominated.

Under such circumstances it is fitting thatthe District committee, together with thewisest and best men of the party, should as-semble and counsel together. The Globetrusts that wisdom and moderation willchar-acterize the meeting to-morrow. It will re-quire wise action to prevent disaster at thepolls. Mr. Fletcher could lead the party tovictory inNovember, while Mr.Gilfillan willlead it to certain defeat.Under such circumstances, ifMr.Gilfillanis

the patriotic and loyal Republican, the Globeestimates him to be, he will place the crownwhich Barker gave him in the hands of theRepublican committee and request themcither to nominate Mr. Fletcher themselvesor call a new convention with that object inview. Mr. Barker could nominatebut he cannot elect Mr.Gilfillan. Disfran-chised Washington county, like Banquos'ghost, willnot down, and Mr.GHtillan owes

|it tohis party, as a patriotic duty,to step aside. from the illegal and unenviable position ini which Mr. Barker has placed him, and loin

\u25a0 with the Globe and the Minneapolis Tribune!and Minneapolis Journal in giving Mr.

Fletcher the candidacy which he fairly andjustly merits.

The Globe appeals to Mr. Gilfillanin theinterest of harmony to make this sacrifice tosave the party. The claims of the Republi-can party upon Mr.Gilfillan are surely greaterthan those ofof Mr.Barker, and the Globeimplores him to take this manly and patrioticaction before itis too late. He is young.oily and vigorous, and ifboth he and Barkerlive,as they doubtless will, other opportu-nities willarise to do them honor.

The Pitmen- Prat and Dispatch are actuatedsolely by their small local prejudices in urg-ingMr. GLliiilan to run, simply because hewas the means of defeating, for the time, theman who was opposed to their local candi-!date. The Globe rises above such narrow|local prejudices and cannot, therefore, ap-

prove the illegal candidacy of Mr.Gllfillau.Itis not in the interest of Mr. Fletcher thatthe Globe approves the meeting ofthis committee but in the interest ofharmony and justice. The Fourth district isRepublican if the party can be united. Mr.Gilfillan can, probably, unite Mr. Barker,but he cannot unite the party. By the lovehe bears the organization which has so fre-quently honored him, he should step asideand permit Major Camp to declare Mr.Fletcher the only and rightful nominee of

the Republican convention of the Fourthdistrict. That would be manly and just andwould avert the disaster, which every goodRepublican can not but view with horror,of a Democrat representing this district inCongress.Itis rare that the Globe feels 60 deeply

and keenly the importance of preservingthe integrity ofthe Republican party, but onthis occasion personal preferences should besubordinated to the public and party welfare,and on our bended knees, or even all fours,(so to speak) the Globe joins the Tribuneand Journal inurging Mr. Gilfillan to savethe party by gracefully placing the Barkercrown in Major Camp's historic hat at thecommittee meeting to-morrow. Doitand

—Blessings be thine, loyalGil,ever more.

Mb. Blame is applying the slave-driverslash to such members of the Republican partyas itis possible for him to terrorize and forceinto his support. The Washington correspon-dent of the New York Sun makes the state-ment that immediately ou his return to Wash-ington from a visit to his father, Mr. WalkerBlame spent two days in going through thedepartments, especially the Treasury and In-terior. He inquired ifthere were any per-sons in the departments who were disposedtokick, boltor be lukewarm, and he was toldthat there did not seem to be any very greatenthusiasm. When Mr.Blame asked for thenames ofthe more prominent officers in thedepartments who were disaffected he was un-able to get them from the chiefs of bureaus.However, by dilligent inquiry he was able tomake quite a list. Those men will eitherhave to change their tactics and simulatean enthusiasm they do not feel or they willhave to go next March, ifMr.Blame iselected.

President Arthur states that he reappoint-ed Murray, Governor of Utah for the reason"that he is the most offensive man to theMormons that the country contains

—not ex-

cepting Edmunds." This is a singular con-clusion for the Executive to arrive at, for ev-erybody knows that under the Murray-Ed-munds dispensation Mormonism has flour-ished as never before in the same space oftime. The Mormon missionaries have beensuccessful as never before, in this country,and abroad, and Mormonism is stronger to-day than ever before. But suppose it be truethat Murray is the most offensive man to theMormons the country contains, is that acreditable motive on which to base Executiveaction1 Is it not contemptible trifling withgrave and important duty i The truth is Ar-thur's only desire in the matter is to getalong withitin the easiest way possible, andto continue Murray, was, so far as he is con-cerned, the smoothest thing to do, and fromforce of sheer indolence he did it. The Mor-mons won't disturb his fishing excursionsthis summer.

Tite religious statistics of the United States,looked at from four different points inthe courseof the present century, presents some very in-teresting and instructive features. Inthe year1800 the total population was 5,305,925. Ofthese there were Protestant, 1,277,052; EomanCatholic, 100,000; unclassified, 3,928,873. In1850, out of a total population of 23,191,876,there were Protestants, 12,723,158; RomanCatholics, 1,614,000; unclassified, 8,854,718,In1870, out of a population of 38,538,371, theProtestants numbered 24,041,486 ;Roman Catho-lics, 4,600,000; not classified, 9,916,885. Andin the year 1880, out of a total population whichhad swelled to 50,152,860, there were 36,031,974Protestants, 6,367,000 Roman Catholics; notclassified, 7,753,893.

It will be a gratification, if nothingmore, to observe how these languages willfareunder the elective sygtem, and how many stu-dents willavail themselves of the privilege toelect not to bother with the dead languages.

Tr the Natchez Democrat is correctly informedItis no great hardship to have a life sentence tothe penitentiary of Mississippi, located at Jack-eon. That paper says that this class ofprisoners have the freedom of the city, and"That some of them are seen day after day incitizens' clothes going about the streets of Jack-son, and they cannot be distinguished from thecitizens of the town." From this it might beinferred that the citizens of Jackson, generally,are life convicts, and are having their board andlodging at the expense of the state.

Joaquis Milleris an advocate of teachingpractical mechanics in the public schools. Hewas lately called into court and was disgustedwith a lawyer who asked a witness to tell thejurywhat kind of a tool a jack-plane is. Hethinks that if the lawyer who asked the questionhad been taught something of mechanics atschool he would have learned enough not to haveasked so simple a question. To the putting ofthat question is attributed the fact that the law-yer lost his case.

Herman Smith was tried by a jury in thedistrict court yesterday for forging anorder for $5 and was promptly convicted. Hewas asked several times to write the name ofthe party forged and did itto correspond withhis aitempt in the order in question so ex-actly as to leave no question of his guilt.

F.M. Burlison and M. McDermott, forstealing satin from Smith's drygoods store,on Seventh street, both plead guilty to thelarceny and took a twin sentence of twoyears in the penitentiary each, where theywilladopt striped goods for apparel.

Inthe case of Geo. Brown and Carl Fink-beiner, who were indicted by the grand jury

for assault with dangerous weapons uponHenry Blom,on the sidewalk^after the break-ing up of the baker's ball on west Seventhstreet, on the evening of Aprii27. Gebhard\u25a0Woolrich, Esq., appeared for the accused,and Brown being tried first was acquitted bythe jury without leaving their seats. Thisaction also acquitted Finkbeiner, whomCounty Attorney Egan held to be the leastlikely to be convicted on the indictment.Blom, itwillbe remembered, was found, af-ter the ball, bleeding fearfully from woundsinflicted with a knife.

The last case taken up was that of Chas.Schleif for bastardy, the prosecuting witnessbeing Margaret Fuchs. The case was orig-inally tried inHose township, where the par-ties are resident, before Justice Hoyt, whobound over the prisoner to this court. W.C. Goforth, Esq., appeared for the defendantand moved the court for dismissal ou theground that bastardy was a civil case .andnot a criminal one, citing 37 Moine forauthority, "that ifany action forbastardy is

tried in a criminal court the trial will bevoid." The motion was overuled by Judge

Brillon the ground that the district court ofRamsey "had jurisdiction in both civil andcriminal actions." The impanneling of ajury was proceeded with, to three of whomthe criminal oath was administered and to theother nine the civil oath. Goforth at thispoint objected to the three jurors who hadbeen sworn on the criminal oath, whereuponthe court excused them. Goforth then raised

the objection against their places being filledon tbe ground a jury had already been em-paneled in the case and was overrruled. Thestate placed its first witness on the stand,when itwas developed thut the original com-plaint had been sworn out before a notarypublic instead of a justice of the peace, thestatute making the swearing out of a com-plaint compulsory on a justice. Goforth ob-jected to any further testimony being takenin the case on thegronnd the court had nojurisdiction, which objection was sustainedby the court, the juryperemptorily dismissed,and the court adjourned. Sehleif having re-gained his freedom thus suddenly madetracks for liberty, while the poor girland herparents immediately took out a new warrautfor his arrest, and seemed very much ag-grieved at the curious turn the law had taken.

Lost His Pocket Book.J. B. Robbins, who does business at No.

137 East Seventh street, complained at thecity hall last night that he had had his pocket

picked Of apocket book containing either$691 or $791, he could not tell which. Hesaid he had itin his pocket when he and hiswife went out to take the showcase in, and when he got back intothe store the pocket book withthe money was gone. Two men were ar-rested on suspicion, and simply because Mr.

Robbins saw two men in front of ths store

when he went out there. He could not iden-tify the two men that were arrested as beingthe ones he saw, while his wifo did not thinkthey were the ones that were there. Theywere accordingly discharged.

IT '9 FOUND.After the above was written the officers

went down to Robbins' house and found thepocket book in the back yard. The case is a

very peculiar one, and it is rendered stillmore so from the fact that when OfficerWalsh questioned Mr. Robbins as to whatbank he drew the money from he refused totell, and claimed that he was not obliged totell where he got the money, though he pre-viously stated that he drew itout of a bnnk

to pay abill wiih. It seems very strange

that he should have asserted that the pocketbook was taken from his pocket, when it wasin fact in his back yard. The officers werevery indignant about the transaction.

At1o'clock at the same place an inquestwas held by Dr. Horst on the body of tbe ladDennis McCarty, drowned above the upperlevee while bathing on Saturday afternoonand the same verdict was rendered. Itcame out at the hearing that Jerry

McCarthy, a brother of the deceased, and

two other boys, one of whom is a wild rovingcharacter, named Edmunds, were all bath-ing together. They all could swim but Den-nis, and the Edmunds boy took him out be-yond his depth where he sank. Jerry, hisbrother, tried to rescue him and had hold ofhim when he came to the surface and sank

the second time, but was not strong enoughto brine him ashore and was forced to aban-don him.

The body of the boy found drowned at

DEATH OF BARTLETT PRESLEY.

One ofthe Oldest Settlers of St. PaulAnd in Business Here

Since 1849.

Captain and Chief in the Volunteer Fire De-partment-Public Spirited and

KindHearted.

Death From Blood Poisoning, lei-suiting1 ioinHeart Disease.

Aconsiderable part of the community wassurprised yesterday afternon to learn thatBartlett Presley was dead. Ho has been hereso long, was so wellknown, and was alwaysabout so hearty and well that it neverseemed to occur to any one thut he was like-ly to die. But itseems that his health wasfar less rugged than itwas supposed to be,and at 2:30 yesterday afternoon he expiredat his residence on the corner of Summitand Dayton avenues.

The immediate cause of his death washeart failure. That is to say, his heartceased to operate, owing to his blood beingthin and in poor condition. It is wellknown that about two years ugo, Mr. Presley,while out riding, was thrown from a carriageand had one of his legs broken below theknee. From this accident he fully recov-ered, and was as well as ever, apparently.For many years Mr. Presley has been in thehabit of going south to spend the winter, re-turning in May or June. Last fall, as usual,he migrated to the south. Some time duringthe winter one of his legs, that had troubledhim some herein St. Paul, began to give seri-ous cause for alarm. This was not the leg,however, that was broken, as many have er-roneously supposed, but it was the other.The first indications of trouDle were producedby the appearance of a hard lump on the legabove the knee. Though somewhatpainful it was not sufficiently so to arrestimmediate attentiou, and the deceased didnot allow ittointerfere with the ordinary en-joyments to be found in the south during thewinter months. As time wore along thelump assumed larger proportions until it be-came necessary to do something. The limbby this time had swelled to nearly twice theordinary si*.. He consulted eminent phy-siciaqs but they could do nothing for him.He then went to Chicago and submitted thelimb to the inspection of specialists. Noneof them helped him. Most of them did notknow what to make of it, and putting a lit-tle iodine on the swelled part of the limb thespecialist sent him away saying that the swell-ing would come down. It did- not decreasebutkept growing worse. He then went toSt. Louis where the iodine remedy was againrecommended and applied with no better re-sults than at Chicago. The deceased thenwent to the Hot springs which proved as use-less as all other efforts. He then, thinkingthat possibly itmight be a cancer, went toRome, New York, where he was examinedwith care, and was informed that the troublewas not cancer but something else. Gettingi)O assistance from any quarter, andespecially none from specialists, and thespring time coming on the deceased re-turned toSt. Paul about the Ist ofMay. Thelimb at this time was very much swollen andhad been forseveral weeks. Doctors Murphyand Hand were called in anda very thorough examination wasmade, and the conclusion was arrived atthat there was a gathering of matter beneaththe surface. An incision was made and alarge quantity of matter was removed. Afterthis the swelling went down a good deal andMr.Presley appeared to improve. Sundayhe was up and yesterday morning he was ap-parently better and lay down on the lounge.About noon he began to failand died at 2:30Inthe afternoon, of what is called bloodpoisoning.

PERSONAL DESCRIPTION.

The following description of the deceasedwas prepared and published by Mr. T. M.Newson, in his "Pen Pictures," in theGlobe of March 16, 1884:

"That short, chunky man, talking slowly,is the gentleman whose name heads this par-agraph. He is a little different from the or-dinary cut of men; has a solid, lymphaticcharacteristic, but a pensiveness which marksthe man of thought and the man of business.He was born in Germany in the year 1823;was raised in St. Louis; married in 1843;moved to Galena in 1849, and from thencecame to St. Paul the same year. He com-menced withnothing forty years ago, dealingiv fruits, etc., and from this he drifted intothe retail and wholesale grocery business,but of late years he has made fruits hisspecialty, dealing largely in them, and buy-ing directly from the points where they arcraised, eastern California and other places.He was the original fruit dealer in this city,and to-day is by far the heaviest merchant inthis line. Mr. Presley was a member of thecommon council three continuous years,and chief engineer of our fire department forthree years. He purchased the first steamfire engine brought to St. Paul. He took theposition of chief engineer at a time when thedepartment was inbad odor, and left itin anelevated and efficient condition. What isremarkable, he is the only merchant in St.Paul, or in the state, who has been continu-ously in business forty years. He is a livingillustration of a fact, that a legitimate busi-ness closely adhered to for a series of years,willprove triumphant in the end. InpersonMr. Presley represents the German type ofman, with heavy features and a slow andcautious movement. He speaks a littlebroken and somewhat thick, owing to athroat difficulty, yet expresses himself inaclear and terse manner. He is never idle;never has been. Always attends to his ownbusiness and plods on day after day withrenewed determination to add somethingmore to his financial gains. When chiefof the fire department, who does notremember tbe kindly acts of his departedwife, who, in the coldest of weather, whenthe jaded firemen were almost ready to giveout, she replenished them with hot coffee,not once but many times; of her presenta-tion of flags to the gallant boys ;of her con-stant efforts to encourage and sustain them ?And who was kinder to the firemen than ]}.

Presley? Many a once yonng man, nowgrowing gray, will remember these kindlyacts

—these sweet memories of a by-gone day.

Mr.Presley erected yearsago, various tenementhouses on Eighth street, and among thenumber was one known a3 the Clubhouse.Only a few years ago he built an elegant bus-iness block on the site of his old stand, andto-day he is estimated to be worth $200, (#>o.Quiet, unobtrusive,industrious,soiid, yet pub-lic spirited and enterprising, Mr. Presleyought tobe satisfied with bis success, andfrom what we know of the man, we guesshe is."

HIS FAMILY. *Mr.Presley was twice married. His first

wife died about three years ago. Subse-quently he was married to Mrs. Wingfield,the daughter of Capt. John Martin, who sur-vives him.

SWEETS OF JUSTICE,

A Bad Quill—A Wholesome Chronom-eter.

He Shot Cock Kol>ln—Results of Whoop-injiItUp,Etc.

Itwas a tame morning at the municipalcourt yesterday, although it was the hottestof the season atmospherically. J. Quill, a

young desperado who had just finished aterm of five days at the workhouse for drunk-enness, was arraigned for drawing a revol-ver on a Uniyersity avenue man six monthsago, and was given a chance to go out toraise $20 fine with no officer in eight, inhopes that he would feather out of town, itbeing considered the cheapest w»y to be quit

of him.W. Wilson, the JY.ckson street young

mulatto nigqt shooter, said he was guilty ofplanting a laden pill in the leg of }ne Cum-mings, and was sent to the county jailtoawait the action of the next grand jury.

Kate Filbert concluded she wouldn't haveher case cracked open in the court on acharge of street promenading at unseemlyhours and forfeited her ?15 bail.

E Anderson, who got on a terrible benderand whooped itup in the tunnel on Sabbathafternoon, paid ina $10 fine and registereda vow that ifhe ever got in a budge againhe would find a place todo it in where thecontingent expenses were not so ilat-footed,

P. Poison and N. 'Goslin, a pair of twindrunks, were so melted with the heat thatthey couldn't crush a fly, were given fivedays each, while F. Johnson on being dis-missedforthe same offence on account ofthe patrol wagon's failing to back up itscomplaint for bringing him in from Iglehartstreet the night before, shuffled out the doorin high glee at his escape from the coppers.

Arthur Hoffman was arraigned and com-mitted to the county jail for a hearing forlarceny to-day. Arthur's troubles had all oc-curred on acconnt of a watch belonging toanother fellow mysteriously getting into hispocket, for the life ofhim how he could nottell. Truly we liveindangerous times whentickers thus assume to themselves arms andlegs.

Caught on the Wing.Gov. Ordway of Dakota, soon to be ex-

Gov. Ordway, came in from Yankton yester-day noon and took the afternoon train for

Bismarck. He was captured by a Globerepresentative during bis brief stay. Thegovernor was found to be bigbly pleasedwith the quashing of the "indictmentsagainst him and also happy over the factthat he had secured orders fromWashington for an investigationboth of himself and Attorney GeneralCampbell. He seemed to think that the in-vestigation would show tho malice and false-hood of his accuser. In relation to appoint-ment ofbis successor Gov. Ordway expressedhimself very cordially. Mr.Pierce was aman whom he knew very well,a very goodman, highly educated and well qualified forthe place. He presumed itmight be someweeks before he turned over the office, usGov. Pierce had considerable toattend to be-fore assuming the position.

Petition for a Receiver.Itwill be remembered that some time

since the firm of Mayo &Clark, dealers in

iron and hardware, became financially em-barrassed, and one of the members wenteast to arrange for some relief to their busi-ness. What the result of the trip was is notknown, but itis presumed that the easementsought was not forthcoming, as yesterdayMessrs. Nichols & Dean and Averill, Russell& Carpenter filed papers in the district courtasking thatlhcy be adjudged insolvent andthat a receiver be appointed. The petition-ers sold and delivered goods to Mayo ttChirk, and took their notes for the amountsdue. The petition will l.m heard in specialterm at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.

Unlijrhted Streets.On Sunday evening the moon went down

at 11:30, at midnight the electric lights wereextinguished, and the skies being cloudythe streets of the city were left iv inky dark-ness, not a single gas light being visible.Last night the siinie state of things existedat midnight, with the exception of a solitarygas lightburning on the corner of Third andWabushaw streets. It would seem that *olarge a city as this should be lighted withstreet lamps at night when there is no moon-light, not only a matter of public con-venience but of public: necessity for peaceand safety.

ATalk WithHon. P. B. Smallcy.The Globe met Hon. P. B. Smalley, of

Vermont, yesterday, who was on his way toDakota. ,Mr. Smalely. has for eight yearsbeen the Vermont member of the Demo-cratic National committee, and has beenselected by his fiiate convention forthe next four years. Mr. Sraalleyexpress great conficence in Democratic suc-cess the coming campaign but does notchampion any particular candidate. He is abeliever in the ability of the Democratic con-vention to harmonize upon a strong andacceptable candidate and the Vermont del-egation willfavor that man.

Let us do what we shouldhave done in1880. By the grace of theRuler of the universe the opportunity is stillours.

The Hutuof the Hour.To the Editor of the Globe :

One set of men are anxious that the Dem-ocrats would blunder bo that the Republicans

would have an assured victory. And thereare men who care less for party than forgen-eral safety, and who therefore wouldlike Re-publicans and Democrats alike to put upgood men, so that in any event the countrywould

' be well served. Inthe interest of the Democraticparty the leaders should hesitate to expressipreferences or condemn men in advance.

No man can foretell the action of a conven-tion, and the delegates that willremain alikeunpledged and unbiased willbe the delegatesthat willbe most valuable to tbelr constitu-ents and- the country. Minnesota, inpartic-ular, being a Republican state should hesi-tate to commit itself to any man, but rather

should be ready to cheer on by voiceand vote the action of the Democraticstates that will elect a candidateof that party, if one is to succeed. A goodthing would be for the delegates to keep theirminds to themselves, and give the Inter-viewer and the gossips a cold shoulder. Thebest men should be selected, but the statesthat willelect ought to be heard from beforeour people willselect their man.

SETTLING DIFFERENCES.July 7th, tho Date Set For The Re*

storation ofThe Spring TariffonThe Upper Mississippi.

[Special Telegram to the Globe. |Chicago, June 30.—The freightmanagers

of the lines interested in the upper Mississi- \u25a0

ppi river traffic met at Commissioner Car-man's office to-day, and after a long sessionagreed to restore all rates July 7, to thebasis of the spring tariff. Itwas also decided to allow the boat lines theold differentials. This dispose! of one moretroublesome disturbance In the North-western. Had matters not been fixed up atto-day's meeting a lively fostlade would havebeen inaugurated, which would have severe-ly tested the bulwarks of the Northwesternpool. The Illinois Central and St. Paulfavored the Northwestern a week1 :iir> withtheir ultimatum, which was to openly cutrates to all common points with the North-western should the latter not come to timebefore July 1. The Northwestern people weresatisfied that their competitors meant busi-ness, and they were more than ready tocome to terms.

At the conclusion of the conference properthe members engaged iv an informaldiscussion of Central lowa mat-ters that business haviug beenmore or less demoralized since the collapseof the Central lowa Traffic association. Theresult of the convention was gratifying inthat itwas decided to call a meeting looktnjtoward the re-establishment ol the Centra.lowa Traffic association, tobe held at Com-mi.-sioner Carman's office to-day. The pros-pect of an early settlement of the Dcs Moinesdifferences, the only remaining unpleasant-ness in tbe northwest, is good.
