The Vocal Society.

The new music which the Vocal society has
been expecting for some time has now arrived,
and on next Thursday evening the rehearsals
will commence in real earnest. The music is
of a high order of merit having been selected
from The works of the best masters, and still is
not difficult the intention Of the director of
the society being to rehearse only such music
as is within the capacity of the members of the
society to learn, having but little musical edu-
cation, but who will by practice constantly i'm
prove until more difficult works can be taken
up. 1t IS the intention that this society shall
be permanent one, not merely to live through
the winter months and die with the opening of
spring. and that it shall be credit to our
city. We earnestly hope that all who wish to
join the society, will be present on this even
ing, at the rooms of the St. Paul Conservatory
OF Music. No. ia West Third street, at 1880 P
M Let none stay away because they cannot
read music readily, for there are already not a
few, among its hundred members, who as yet
know nothing of reading music at sight, but
who will doubt become in time expert
readers, through the excellent practice which
they will obtain at the meetings of the So

THE BOOM Project.
Shall it be Success or FaiIure-What D.
the Citizens of ST. Paul Say?

Shall it be a Success or FaiIure-What Do
the Citizens of st. Paul Say?
1t ought to be well understood by every
man in st. Paul that the boom will be lost I'M
less st. Paul walks up this week and takes
stock enough to start the building of the boom
this month. Log men cannot and will not
cut logs for the boom unless they are assured
in time that it will be built.
Minneapolis meu have already subscribed
over S., 600 on few hours work by the com
mittee at that point and assure cur commit
tee they can make it 80 900 or BE, 900 if St.
Paul desires to give the controlling stock to
Minneapolis. The committee inform us that
only $4,000 or 1915. 900 need be paid in during
this winter to build portion of the boom suffi
Gent to hold 50.N00OO0 feet of logs. This
amount will run the boom for two years.
Now the question for St. Paul men to settle,
and settle it this week, is whether we shall
lose this great improvement promising to be
the nursery of saw mills, grlst mills, planning
mills and other manufactures sufficient to give
employment to hundreds of men and build up
manufacturers of lumber and flour equal to
those of Minneapolis. Shall this opportunity
be lost for want of few hours work in solicit
ing the stock? They should not wait to be
called on. but go at once to the committee, and
by Saturday night enable them to report the
stock all taken and the boom secured.
Iue CO1ulnlItee 10 SOllClG SLOCk are zen. San
bern, Peter Berkey D. NcCaine, T. J. Barney
and John Matheis. We shall interview these
gentlemen to-day and hope to be able to report
tomorrow that the stock is being rapidly Ia
ken, and by Sunday morning that all is taken.
The boom at Saltwater and her saw mills
have built up that prosperous city. The stock
there it is claimed, pays directly percentage
far better than bank stock or any other.
Our citizens haze plenty of money in mortgages
drawing 10 and IL per cent. for it, and in bank
stock, which will pay them far better invested
in this enterprise. It will pay them directly a
greater percentage, and indirectly an hundred
fold in the value of their real estate in the i'm
provement of their business, and the general
up-building of the city.
Every merchant, wholesale or retail, can
make his business better by taking stock in
this enterprise. The city now is in need of all
her capital for fighting purposes. We
may we'll unlock our Golfers
and every man put his capital where it will
help st. Paul to fight the battle for the SUI
premacy aud the metropolitan destiny for
which all her natural advantages have fitted
her.
Natural advantages count nothing unless util-
lied. The men of city fix her destiny by
moulding those advantages and shaping them
to useful ends. Let St. Paul men be worthy
of the great city they live in, and we are all
right.

in the city Of Minneapolis full thousand

in the city of Minneapolis a full thousand
democrats remained away from the polls
rather than vote contrary to their
convictions and run the risk
OF mourning the displeasure of their en-
ployers and being dismissed from service.
In Philadelphia the same state of affairs ex-
listed, bat on a larger scale, and in all the
other large cities instances of similar ma
ture were of frequent occurrence.
While it may be true that every man at
the South did not vote as he wished, it is
equally true that men at the North we're sim
liarly deferred from exercising the franchise
unimpeded. We hold to the theory that all
such cases should be brought to the atten-
ton of Congress, and those who were guilty
of thus violating the laws should be properly
punished. But no cr parte inquiry should
be had. Violations of the law at the North
should be punished as vigorously
as at the South, and no investigation which is
not impartial, non-sectional and non partisan
will meet the sanction of the people. A man
who bulldozes his servant into voting the Re
publican ticket is as clearly deserving of
punishment as he who forces his servant to
vote the Democratic ticket. 1t is the duty
of the Democrats in Congress to see that an
impartial inquiry is had which shall result
in the punishment of all who have been
guilty. They should not impede the inves-
tigation proposed by Mr.. Blaine, but carry
the war into Africa; expose the many out
RACES perpetrated at the North by Repub-
lican employers, Republican supervisors of
election, and Republican candidates. This
system of warfare will result in putting a
stop to the many baseless charges that are
being Illuminated against the Democratic
party at the South. It is we'll known fact
that whenever the Democratic party is in a
majority the elections are purer and freer
from abuse than where the Republicans are
in the ascendency, and this fact will no doubt
be brought into prominence before the pend
ing inquiry shall have come to close. The
Democrats owe it as duty to themselves
a duty they should not hesitate to faithfully

THE RAILROAD CONTROVERSY.

THE RAILROAD CONTROVERSY.
There was little else the topic of CONVEX
sation yesterday among our business men
save the complications existing between the
Milwaukee d St. Paul and the St. Paul g.
Sioux City railroad companies. The senti-
ments of the GLOBE were very generally en-
dorsed, the feeling being that no railroad
should be allowed to make any movement
hostile to the material interests of the city,
The Milwaukee & st. Paul managers
were emphatic in disclaiming any hos
tility to ST. Paul, or any desire to inter
fere with the location of the Sioux City
shops, iterating and reiterating that their
only desire was to build short line to Min
neapolis
There are many conjectures, but as yet no
satisfactory explanation has been given the
public as to the cause of the midnight move
ment. If the work had been delayed for six
hours and begun at seasonable hour of the
day, comparatively little friction would have
been produced so far as the public was con-
cerned. AS it was, apprehensions were
aroused which are not easily allayed, and
suspicious created which, while perhaps
grossly unjust, nevertheless place the onus
of explanation upon the Milwaukee & St.
Paul company. The people of St. Paul de-
sire and prefer friendly relations with all
the railroads centering here. They will
not seek hostilities, but we are hap
Ply to say that they have at last
become aroused to the importance of de-
handing and securing their rights. The
private assurances of the Milwaukee & St.
Paul road are satisfactory. Their actions,
which speak louder than words, were not
satisfactory, and created the suspicious
which only subsequent developments of good
faith can allay. Mr.. Merrill will reach the
city to-day, and with his presence and the
aid of the courts, we look for a speedy
adjustment of the controversy.
Meantime there is a general feeling that
there is an undeveloped something
in this whole matter. While a
short line of railroad is desirable,
and will be welcomed by every citi-
zen of ST. Paul, the startling emergency re-
curing the commencement of work at mid
night is not apparent. Especially when the
proposed line has been in contemplation and
matter of public notoriety for two years
past. Is it possible that St. Paul was IN
danger of securing third outlet to the East
which would not be in the pool that now has
its grip upon the city? Is it possible that
such line was in danger Of reaching us
over the territory on which operations were
so hastily begun? Can it be that such danger
is what the Milwaukee & St. Paul people ap-
prehend, or are they solely actuated by an
intense desireto reach Minneapolis in twenty
minutes?

members elect to the next Congress has been
called at Washington for the 22d of Febru-
airy. The object is to discover exactly what
strength they can surely count upon, and
determine whether to form party distinct
from the other two, or unite with the De-
mocracy. A very respectable majority of
selves as favorable to the latter course, for
they realize the hopelessness of an attempt
to dictate a policy alone, while by uniting
with the Democracy they could very materi-
ally advance their views.

CARRY THEWAR INTO AFRICA.

Boston special to the New York World
gress who are now talking so loudly ABOUT
investigating the intimidation practicea at
the South at the recent election to few oc-
curences that took place in that model CITY.
Several colored men have made affidavit
that they were compelled to vote as their
employers dictated or lose their situations.
A card is also published from well known
colored citiz5n, who says that he has voted
the Republican ticket for fourteen years, and
that he served in the late war; that at the
last election he voted for Butler, and that
since then he has been prosecuted and pro-
scribed by his former Republican friends.
He says: 81 find this very Republican
party has not acted in faith, and only wanted
to free us from slavery at the South so that
we might be greater slaves to the Republican
party at the North.''
These are by no means exceptional in
stances. In almost every city at the North
the same plan has been pursued by Republi-
can employers towards their servants, white
as we'll as black. In New York, Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, Chicago and Minneapolis, this
form of bulldozing was especially promi-
nent. Employers stood at the polls on cleo
ton day, and as their workmen came to cast
their votes placed tickets in their hands with
instructions to vote them straight,accompan-
led with an easily understood intimation
that if they failed to do SO they need not
expect to retain employment. What we're the
men to do? Most of them had families who
were dependent upon their earnings for food
and clothing. They had no recourse but to
obey, even if by so doing they did violence
to their political belief. By that means
large Republican majorities were rolled up
in many sections, and men chosen to Con-
gress who did not represent the wishes of
the mass of the people. It is notorious that

THE army lobby has already commenced &
crusade against the bill recognizing the
army, and the members of the committee
express the belief that it will be impossible
to force the measure through at this season
as an independent act. They will probably,
therefore, attach it to the army appropriation
bill, and base the appropriations upon the
provisions of the proposed reorganization,
leaving out all allowances for the staff corps
and other useless departments. An attempt
will probably be made to compromise, but
the committee are firmly convinced of the
wisdom of their course, and will not be apt
to listen to any such propositions.

Blodgett, of the United States district court
of Chicago, seems likely to fall throu gh,
many influential members of the bar having
espoused his cause and appealed to the Con-

the Judiciary from the scandal of an i'm

which would be the greatest scandal to the

on the bench, or to depose him by legal
process?

REPREsENTATIyE PAGE, of California, has
distinguished himself by offering bill in
the House to reduce Southern representation
by enforcing the fourteenth amendment. It
applies only to South Carolina. It proposes
to reduce the delegation from that State to
two members, which, he assumes, is all they
would be entitled to upon the basis of white
population. In the preamble to the enact
'ment proposed he makes the astounding
statement ''that Ale, 900 inhabitants of said
State belonging to one political party were,
by law enacted by the legislature of said
State, and by concerted system of terror
ism and fraud, denied the rights secured
to them under the constitution Mr.. Page
in this states what he knows to be unquali-
fedly false. At the Presidential election in
1876, when the full vote was out, and Hamp-
ton was elected governor by but eleven hun
dred majority, the vote of the State was but
1888. At the recent election, when it is
claimed the negroes were disfran chised, the
total vote was a little over $4,000. This
increase in the vote could not have occurred if
any considerable portion of the negroes were
disfranchised. The fact simply proves that
the negroes voted with the whites for the
Democratic candidates, and future events
will demonstrate the wisdom of their course.
