MAYOR D.IWSON,S MESSAGE.

The message of Mayor Dawson, which was
sent to the council yesterday afternoon, is
practical, business like document. It sets
forth what a Democratic administration has
accomplished in St. Paul, bringing our taxes
down and our credit up. Mayor Dawson
very truthfully says that ''our financial
credit is above any city of our size in the
West, and nearly equal to any city in the
nation.''
The review of our railroad and other i'm
provements draws only moderate picture
of what is being done in St. Paul the pres
ent season. 1t is an official announcement
of our progress Which goes farther with the
country at large than the statements of pri-
vate citizens. While it is cheerful pre-
sentation, it has the merit, too, of being an
under rather than an over statement
| The message is to be commended for its
brevity, as it gives review of the city at
fairs without unnecessary verbiage, and
after saying what was essential it stops. II

prepared, it would be great Improvement

-D.ITID DAT.IS.

The ponderous Senator from Illinois is
looming up as Presidential probability in
1880. He has one earnest newspaper advo-
cate, the Chicago Times, and a good many
other journals regard him as being unob
jectionable and would support him in pre-
ference to any save their own first choice for
the position. Senator Davis is fortunate in
another thing, too, in having awakened the
violent abuse of many of the stalwart Or
CANS because of his course in connection
with the army appropriation bill. He was
elected to the Senate as an independent can
didate, with slight leanings towards the
Democrats and grangers, just as Senator
Booth was elected with the opposite inclina-
ton. While Mr.. Booth early cast his lot
with the Republican party, Judge Davis for
two years held aloof from all party COM
plications. He was strictly judicial
in his consideration of all cues
tions that were presented, now
voting with the Republicans and
anon with the Democrats. But aa emer-
gency has recently arisen in which there can
be no middle ground-when he that is not
emphatically in favor of the rights of the
people is against them. In this emergency
Judge Davis has acted fearlessly yet consid-
erately. He has, we presume, followed his
natural bent to some extent, but has not done
SO blindly, but only after the most careful
consideration. That he has found himself
finally. as result of that consideration, in
the Democratic ranks is not to be wondered
at, for person of his turn of mind coula
not bring up anywhere else. He has taker
the decisive step, and cannot go backward.
We do not wish to be reckoned as among
the especial admirers of Judge Davis, nor a

advocating his nomination for the Presi-
dency, for while we recognize his strength,
we must also acknowledge his weak
ness. He would secure the support
of a large fraction of the in
dependent voters of the country, while he
would meet the opposition of many old and
consistent Democrats, though the majority
of the party, for expediencys sake, might be
ine.uced to accept him and give him their
hearty support. OF the sincerity of his con-
victions at the present time we have no
doubt. We believe he is in hearty accord
with the views of the Democratic party in
all questions of Importance, and he has un-
questionably the fairness to labor for his
convictions, and to sustain his party with
all the energy he possesses. 1t is too early
as yet to bring him forward as a candidate
for the Presidency. Tilden, Thurman,
Bayard, Hancock and Hendricks each have
superior claims for the nomination, and it is
only in the event of disagreement as to a
choice between those that Judge Davis
claims would be seriously considered. But
such all event is not improbable. Each of
the candidates named have ardent support
ers, who will give in their adhesion to either
of the others only on compulsion. AS a
compromise candidate, therefore, he may
cut something of figure in the next con-
vention. If he should be chosen he would
make good run, for he is a man of supe-
rior mental capacity, a statesman of enlarged
views, and an incorruptible public man, su-
perior to any temptation to swerve from a
fixed line of duty. It is not only possible
but extremely probable, that the name OF
David Davis will figure prominently in the
next Presidential campaign.

The New York tStuats-Zeltung, the lead
ing German paper of the country. and the
editor of which was Tilden elector in 1876,
has pronounced against the sage of Gramercy
square. It says:
Tilden's reform glory has passed away long
since, and it cannot be thought of his ever
developing the strength af 1874 to 1876 again.
The sympathy extended him as a victim of
fraud does not prevent his being taken for a
fraud himself and the latest developments in
our local politics cannot fail to give proper re-
lief to that view.
This declaration is supposed to be indica-
tive either of the fact that Tilden has lost
his hold on the German vote, or is a bid for a
portion of the contents of the old mans
"bar'l.'' It is very evident, however, both
from this and other similar declarations, that
Iilden will have a hard row to hoe.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
[Atlanta constitutional

ATLANTA constitutional
Yesterday morning a Constitution
reporter observing quite crowd around
a negro boy in the car shed, approach
ed and inquired the cause of the ex-
element. He discovered that the boy
was q musical prodigy on very
unique scale. BY placing his right
hand over his right ear and partially
opening his mouth this boy gave the
exact imitation of the musical bag pipes,
playing many airs with perfect &C.
from the inside of the boys head,
and many people were attracted to the
spot, thinking that the bag-pipes were
giving forth their rich, wild melody.
The boy was very accommodating, and
played many airs, gliding with ease
from the gay to the grave. For in
stance, he played "Dixie' with great
spirit and rapidity, and then in the
slowest and most mournful cadences
gave tsStreams of Mercy Never Ceas-
ing" His name is Alonzo Barnes,
and he halls from Eastman. He Is
only eighteen years of age, and says
that he found out by accident, about
three years ago, that his head was full
of bag-pipes, and has been practicing
upon them ever since. He said that
he could play any tune that was whis-
tied, whereupon some one In the
crowd suggested that he give some
| thing from "Pinafore." He had never
heard of the piece, he said, but called
upon man after man, but not one
seemed equal to the task. All ad-
mitted that they had once heard It,,
but so long ago that it was difficult to
recall. The boy holds nothing what
ever in his mouth, simply places his
right hand over his right ear and with
out the slightest effort starts his bag
pipes.
