TIE STOCK BREEDERS.

The Board of Directors Meeting Called Yes
terday Il Failure For Want of Il Quorum
Indications of a Little UnpIeasantness.'
There is something wrong somewhere in
the Stock Breeders Association. For some
time past the reporters have been kept on
the qui vive for a prospective meeting of the
board Of directors, before which would come
several matters of moment to the associa-
ton. BY some means each of the several
newspapers announced different date for
the meeting. To remove the uncertainty
thus occasioned, Hon. VIM. S. King, presi-
dent of the association, called at the GLOBE
Office and wrote out a correction. appointing
the meeting for O'Clock yesterday after
noon, at the Metropolitan hotel. At the
hour named the GLOBE representative was at
the designated place. So was Col.
King, president of the asso-
citation; Dan Woodmansee, secretary, and
director: Hon. VIM. Fowler, Washington,
and w. G, Hendrickson, Ramsey, directors:
r. Barden, treasurer; r. G. Judson, member
and secretary of the State agricultural soci-
ETY.: Lyman G. Dayton and E. A. Parker.
Here was goodly number of worthy gen
tlemen, but only three of them happened to

Hendrickson and workmanship these
three not being majority of the board of
directors, which is composed of seven per-
sons, a meeting could not be held, and a
further postponement was had to early in
June, date not fixed. In the side talk that
ensued it leaked out that, although the gath
ering was to be exclusively directors meet
ing, less than the number of direc-
tors requisite to make a quorum
had been notified, and that there seemed to
be disposition on the part of some to in
definitely postpone such meeting. 1t also
appeared from statements made that there
were good reasons for such meeting. among
which are the following: The adoption of the
rules to govern the association, the fixing
and execution of bonds for the financial Of
fcers, and the completion Of the contract for
the exhibition of the association this fall.
There are other matters requiring attention,
it is said, but these are the most important,
and some of the members take the ground
| that they have even now been delayed too
long. The GLOBE knows nothing of the
"true inwardness' of this matter, and in the
above only gives what is the current talk in
the certain quarters June is not far off

HOW THE PRECEDENT WAs ESTAB-
LIhHED.

Ten years ago Bill Washburn was candi-
date for Congress. His rival was Ignatius
Donnelly. The St. Paul Press was then an
ardent Washburn organ. Capt. Russell
Blakeley. Ex-Governor Marshall, Gen. r. N.
McLaren, Geo. w. Moore. ETC., were also
Missionaries, and manipulated the wires.
At that time Ramsey and Dakota counties
were known to be strongly favorable to Don
nelly, while Hennepin, as usual, was
for Washburn, on local grounds.
By referring to the call of that year We find
that Hennepin was given twelve delegates in
the convention, while Ramsey and Dakota
counties had but six each. The dispropor-
ton Of "a to - is no more than - to 6, yet
in 1868 we did not hear the Republicans who
now howl over Fletcher's game, entering any
protest. On the contrary, the men who now
shrek, were the manipulators of the - to
game. They had a game to play then which
made them willing to exalt Hennepin county
and debase Ramsey.
Without entering into the consideration Of
the merits or demerits Of the present con-
troyersy in the ranks of our Republican
friends, it is evident that Fletcher has, here
IN, eminent precedent for his two to one
game. The Republicans who now hold up
their hands in horror because Hennepin
county has double the representation of
Ramsey: deliberately sold out the political
prestige of this county in the Republican or
ganization ten years ago. They should not
murmur now that they are hoist by their
own petard.
The virtuous indignation of the Pioneer
Press at the present time is amusing to those
familiar with the tergiversations of that CON
Germ. No more unfair, INSCRIPTIONS or dis
honest sheet in political affairs ever existed
anywhere, and that Fletcher and Washburn
should be able to shock its sense of proprie-
ty is joke worthy of Puck and Punch com
bined.
Or course the game of the committee on
Thursday was in the interest of Washburn
and against Stewart. It was unfair and un-
just to Stewart, but there is no occasion for
Republican excitement on the question. It
was the same game which has been repeated
ly played by the committees of that party.
and the men who denounce it to-day have
been the endorsers Of the same trickery pre-
viously. Possibly next time the tables will
be reversed and Fletcher, Washburn, ct al.
may find their OK gore6

A Card from Hon. L. Fletcher.
To the Editor Of the Globe.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
If the interview given in your paper with
Gov. Marshall yesterday morning is correctly
stated, there are several errors wish to cor
rect. The Governor says:
when it came to the matter of apportionment
asked Fletcher it he had made any calcula-
ton upon the difference Of the vote in 1876 and
1877, and he said he had not. I supposed at
that time I could believe him and so I con-
cluded to make no point on it. When 1 learned
how it stood protested against it.
Whether Gov. Marshall believes me or
not, it is true that had made no compute
ton or comparison of the vote of 1876 and
1877. and no member of the committee made
any objection to the basis of representation,

say that they wish the fullest investigation

R4ILROAD TINE CHANGES.
Important Changes Made by Different Rail-
roads in Running of Trains---Time Re-
duced and New Connections.

Important Changes Made by Different Rail-
roads in Running of Trains---Time Re-
duced and New Connections.
The columns of the GLOBE this morning
contain the announcement of important
changes in the running time of several of
the railroad lines centering in this city.
MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL.
By the new time card on this road, which
goes into effect this evening, the running
time between St. Paul and Chicago via the
new route, has been shortened very materi-
ally. No change has been made in the de-
parture of trains, but the morning express
will arrive hereafter at SAT instead of 6:1O
as heretofore, and the afternoon express at
1:54. one hour and six minutes earlier than
before.
The changes on the Iowa & Minnesota
division are important, embracing as they
do, an additional through St. Louis and
Kansas City express, making two trains dali
ly, and also & change in the time of arrival
of the morning train from those points.
Trains for these points will hereafter depart
at 6:l0 A. Nj. and S:25 P. NJ, and arrive at
6:27 P. NJ. and $50 A. NJ. The through Chi
cago express leaves as before at G:10 A. NJ,
and arrives at 6:27. The Owatonna passen-
ger will leave at 5:15 instead of 4:5O, as be-
fore, and arrive at 1925 instead Of 1850.
Between st. Paul and Minneapolis trains
will lun as follows: Leave St. Paul 600.
1928, 1905. and 11:55 A. NJ, and 200 and
$50 P. NJ. Arrive ST. Paul $50, 500 and
11:15 A. NJ. and 2:35 4:l5, 6:27, 1885 and
$3.50 p. Il. Leave Minneapolis for

neapolis, 600, $40 and 1850 4. ID, and 1910.
2:45, and 6:l5 P. NJ.
ST. PAUL g. SIOUX CITY.
This road makes very Important an
nouncement, giving through Kansas City
express train, mentioned at length elsewhere
in these columns. Under the new arrange
ment the through express will leave at 2:45
p H., and arrive at lao P. NJ. The hour for
the departure of the Worthington accommo-
dation has been made a little earlier, 1908 A.
NJ, the arrival being as heretofore, G:30 P. NJ.
MINNEAPOLIS ts ST. LOUIS.
This road also announces some chances
Of interest to the travelling community, es-
pecially the fact Of a reduction of its run
ming time to and from st. Louis. The
through express will leave Minneapolis
at 4:1O P. IL. and arrive at 1:2O P. NJ.
and the through mail and express at G:5C
A. III. and arrive at IL A. NJ. Passengers
from St. Paul to connect with the 40 p. NJ
train take the 2:45 p. NJ, train on the st

CLERG4MEN in England are now waging
one of their periodical disputes about the
propriety of their going to the theater. At
ter all, discuss this and discuss that, there is
one safe rule for the ministers of Gods
word:-"Judge this rather, that no man put
stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in
his brothers way" The GLOBE, with re-
spect to the clergy who believe otherwise,
thinks that the stage is moral agent; but it
is certain that any clergyman who has any
doubt about the matter, will be on the safe
side, as far as he is concerned, by staying
away from the theater and not putting HIM
self in position to have wicked thoughts
injected into his head, or setting what he
may deem an unhealthy example by his
presence.

TURKISH TEOMEN.

During the time that has elapsed since
the Russian army crossed the river Pruth.
about one year ago, there has been great
increase of knowledge in America concern
ing the manners and customs of the Turks.
The busy pens of "war correspondents"
when not occupied in narrating dreadful in
cidents of the battlefield, have frequently
been turned to descriptions of the ways in
which the subjects of the Sultan live and
move and have their being in ordinary
times of peace. Still the general idea en-
tertained by most Americans about the So
cial life of Turkey, is gathered rather from
reading the Arabian Night Tales than from
any modern recital.
Some time ago, however, translation was
made of book written by Edmond de Me-
dicis, an extremely learned italian traveller
in European Moslem countries. If we may
believe Medicis, the well-to-do Turkish
woman has peculiarly enviable lot in life.
The male Turk treats her with knightly
courtesy entirely unknown among the East
ern Franks. No Turkish soldier dare lift
public streets, and, although assaults of that
kiud are not common in America, they are
frequent enough in England. The husband
invariably treats his wife with ceremonious
respect. The mother is the object of pecu-
liar Difference.
When divorce is ordered, and that is
very seldom, the chances are that it is the
woman who seeks the separation. little
ill-treatment, or something that will pass
for ill-treatment, will under any Vizier give
a woman the right to divorce.
We have been used to thinking of the
Turkish women as cooped up in houses
with barred windows; but it seems from
Mr.. de Medicis' story that the quickest girl
in a Yankee town is not nearly SO much of a
iirt as these dark-eyed, full-lipped hanums
who stroll through the streets of Stamboul
with their gauzy wells drawn over their eyes.
The American wanderer in Turkish streets
may be taken sail aback'' by the stare of a
pair of black eyes, and he
may think that he has made
conquest; but never was he more mistaken.
The bright-eyed, red-cheeked Circassian who
has thrown her glances on him, had done so
in the same spirit as little child who was
looking for candies. Sometimes even a
Turkish lady will 60 SO far as to drop flow
Ell from her carriage window when good
looking Frank is passing: and in this way
many fatuous traveller is ensnared.
Polygamy, in fact, is not at all in favor in
Turkey. Blue Beard belongs to another
nation. You may have more than one wife
in Turkey, but, SO far from that being con-
sidered point in your favor, the law of
Mo hamet teaches that you are indulging in
an unnecessary luxury. Signor de Alnicis
afirms that four ffths of the Turks in Con
stantinople are against polygamy. In his
| judgment the reformation of Turkey de-
ponds upon the gradual abolition of polyga-
my. He thinks the time is ripe, and with
the moral assistance of Christian Europe
and America, he has no doubt that the
change will be effected in few years.

Mr.. Murphy came to this city in 1860 from
Chicago to work at his trade for John Hart,
of the former firm of Hart & Kenkel, and,
with the exception of the three years he
served in the war, he has continued in St.
Paul since his advent. On June 2l, 1868,
the ssold'' cigar-makers' union, since dis
banded and more recent one formed, was
organized, the deceased being one Of the
original members, and always very active
