Anti-Free Trade Demonstration.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, March 16.-The demon
stration to protest against the passage of the
Wood tariff bill, was a grand success. The
visiting delegations came into the city with
bands playing, flags flying, and by noon the
city presented very animated appearance.
Trade was generally suspended, and all bust
ness houses and many private dwellings were
profusely decorated. A procession formed
with Mayor Young as chief marshal,
and it was estimated there were $4,000
men in line, mostly iron workers,
with civil and military authorities,
fremen, lodges of all kinds, citizens on foot,
and tradesmen of every description, at work,
on wagons. Banners were almost without
number, and contained statements express
i've of the feelings of the communities to-
wards free trade in general. After the pro-
cession, speeches were made from four
stands by G. A. Grow, B. Markley, Boyer
Albright, Edward Harvey, Col. Vim. Nc
Michael and j. o. Wicksham. The speakers
were enthusiastically received.

A DAY or two ago the ST. Paul city de-
partment of the Pioneer Press contained
an item stating that St. Paul millers were
shipping flour direct to Europe. Minneap-
oils jumped upon the unlucky hermaphro-
dite newspaper because it gave St. Paul a
little puff, and this morning the Pioneer
Press, with due humility, has an elaborate
editorial apology saying of this direct Eu-
ropean trade:
1t is hardly necessary to add that the Mime
apols millers deserve the entire and exclusive
credit for this important movement. So far
as the local article in the st. Paul columns of
yesterdays Pioneer Press, seemed to imply that
any portion of the credit was due to st. Paul
or to assume for St. Paul any appreciable share
in the -four manufactures which are to be bene-
fitted by it, it is of course, absurdly untrue
and we need not say that any statement capa-
BILE of an inference so ridiculously contrary to
the facts, was wholly unauthorized.
We greatly mistake the temper of the pub
lie if the residents of either city have any
respect for such dedgrading trucking. Ger
tainly the people of St. Paul have no reason
to feel that they have any interest in such
a newspaper, and Minneapolis can but de-
spise the crawling sycophant, who SO alb
jectly obeys her behests.

Madame Reintz's female minstrels are
playing at Bush street theatre, San Fran

1t will include as principals Frank Nor
daunt, Edwin Varrey, Charles Stevenson,
Harry Phillips, Marion Clifton, Lillian Clark,
Louise Sylvester, Minnie Monk, and Lottie
Church.
Not long ago Mrs. Elizabeth Laurent,
alias Gisling, application a bill of divorce
against her husband, Henry Laurent, on the
ground of his adultery with Mrs. Alice Oates,
the opera-bouffe singer. These proceedings
have now been quashed by the voluntary
return of Mrs. Laurent to her husband. Up
to little within week ago she was mem

services were dispensed with when the troupe
left here for Philadelphia and the West.

been receiving money from her husband,
which she in all cases accepted, spite Of the

tain it is that she joined her husband at the
Imperial hotel in Washington.
An exciting incident occurred at the new
Academy of Music, Baltimore, Maryland,
during the engagement of Alice Oates OPP
era company:
'During the performance of 'Girofe- Giro
fa,' in that part where the punch-bowls are
set on fire, one of the girls in the chorus,
passing too near, her head-ribbons were ig-
nited by the flames, which swept to her wig,
and in an instant that too was ablaze. c..
N. Decker, with presence of mind that
cannot be too highly commended, caught the
girl in an embrace, and smothered the fire
with his cloak, while with his hand he pulled
the blazing wig from her head and threw it
behind the scenes. He then supported the
girl off the stage. The audience was tumul-
tuous in commendation of the act, and re-
peated efforts to go on with the performance
failed, until this bashful hero was brought
almost bodily to the foetlights to receive his
well-earned praise. The young girl was not
burned at all, while Mr.. Decker was SO Sc
verely injured as to prevent him from play
ing the rest of the week"

The telegraph reports that the Senate sub
committee on railroads have unanimously
reported to the main committee in favor of
the Mitchell bill extending the time for the
completion of the Northern Pacific. The
bill, as originally introduced by Senator
Mitchell, required change of line of the
road as agreed upon by the company, and
also the building of branch to the Union
Pacific, or the forfeiture of portion of
the company's land grant, and its bestowal
upon any other company that would build
the connecting link. To this the Northern
Pacific railroad strenuously objected, as a
matter of course, and the result was COM
promise whereby conflicting interests were
reconciled, and, which it appears, has re-
suited in unanimous report Of the sub
committee in favor of the extension of time

SATURNALIA OF CONTESTED ELEC.
IIONS--NEW ELECTION FRAUD.

1t would be cheaper, actually save large
sum of money; it would be the very best
economy, an act of public welfare, to submit
the new election law for incorporated cities
of over 10000 Inhabitants excepting the
Kings English and good grammar thereof.
to the Supreme Court. There
Is no doubt of the unconstitutionality of this
apparent humbug. We would be surprised,
if surprise was one of the elements of THE
GLOBE, that any lawyer could sit in the Leg
islature and see such bill passed.
The principle of this latest monstrosity of
reform, presumes that the secret
ballot is false. The secret ballot was
established to guard the voter. The
Constitution of Minnesota protects it..
The Constitution says: .'AI elections shall
be by ballot, except for such town officers as
may be directed by law to be otherwise
chosen There are no ''town officers in
incorporated cities of over 10000 in
habitants.
This monstrosity presumes another thing
that every voter is scoundrel, and the
judges the biggest thieves of all. Why? It
places sentinel, an armed soldier of party,
over free ballot. First, the voter is pre-
sumed to cheat; second, the judge
sworn, with his right hand uplifted, or on
the evangelists, to swear the voter, is pre-
sumed to swear himself and the voter to a
lie-a bare faced lie. Who was the immor-
tai Lycurgus, the author? Was it E1-Ald.
Fisher, the great impeached?
The sole purpose, and canting, sickly,
double-dealing, Shiny object. is to secure
"honest elections in incorporated cities
of over 10000 inhabitants, especially
St. Paul and Minneapolis. Say, immortal
Lycurgus, who elect and appoint the judges
of election? Do not the voters themselves?
Then, if the people of incorporated cities
of $4,000 Inhabitants let us be particular
about the language, are Republican or Dem
ocrat, or professedly so, with money enough,
can they not perpetuate forever their party,
by appointing their own judges. We doubt
whether in the time of Jeffreys such an out
rage was attempted or perpetrated as in this
unconstitutional scheme.

julius Caesar extended a fostering hand to
the press, and furthered his ambitious designs
by its agency. Suetonius, Roman writer,
says "Julius Caesar, as soon as he entered
his public Office, caused the proceedings of
the Senate to be circulated among the peo-
p]e.'' The Acta Dsurn0 thus became political
in character, but still contained news about
buildings, births, deaths, executions and
such like, thus resembling, in some degree!
our modern newspapers. That those ubiqui-
tous and indispensable servants of the pub
ic-reporters, were not unknown even then,
is set beyond doubt by Suetonius, when he
mentions 'The Notarii as having 'garbled'
the great speech of Caesar for Mettullus,'
The Notarii being the ancient prototype of
our modern stenographer. The Acta Diur,aa,
having no contemporaries, had monopoly
in the matter of advertising, which would
have gladdened the heart of struggling

WHAT WILL THE UNEMPLOYED Doe
The signs of the times are more favorable.
There are auspicious omers of a revival of
business, and every one seems to be expect
ing change in the tide of depression. The
winter, so far, has been exceptionally mild
and pleasant, and much of the suffering an
ticipated last November, avoided by this
generous gift of nature. Still unless there
is great and radical change, there will be
thousands of unemployed men and women,
and suffering must ensue. The resumption
of spring and summer work will test the
degree of prosperity.
The unemployed must have work. Dur
ing the past winter, the Eastern cities have
swarmed with idle people, idle because un-
able to find employment. This distressing
condition of affairs should be alleviated by
some means. 1t is not worth while to talk
to this class of people about coming West
or going into the country. These people are
without bread. They have no means
to move, no means to live and no means to
die. The national and State governments
and charitable institutions should interpose
to relieve society of the terrible burden, and
of future danger. We sincerely hope that
before another winter, relief will have come
in some form, and for the time at least,
people may be able to earn enough to keep
themselves and families from starvation.
