The Wild Hunter Row,

The Wild Hunters tavern was largely
represented in the municipal police court
yesterday morning, and for downright cuss-
edness the habitues of that caravansary
would easily discount the widest doings of
the bowling wilderness, or the more classical
iniquity of Calamity Jane in its palmiest
days of hourishing success. When three
men come together and agree to have row,
it generally happens that their inspiration is
directly drawn from the devil, as uncorked
from a bottle of fusil oil and birthstone
lightning. So it happened with Messrs.
Rogers, Sewall and Saunders, full account
/ of whose doings and arrest appeared
in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
In this instance the lightning played on the
devoted head of John Rogers. and it wasn't
sheet lightning either, as demonstrated in
the transmutation of that gentleman's
optics, which looked as if the colors had
been laid on by the business heel of mule.
AS he appeared before the court both blink
ers were yelled in black and blue Grape, the
result of vigorous bounce from the above
named hostlery, the mourning being artistic
ally given by Sewall and Saunders, who, if
reports are true, beat their companion IN
most villainous and shameless manner. The
case was called at 8 o'clock, draw
back being encountered by the
statement of Sewall and Saunders, who re-
quested continuance on the grounds that
they were not prepared for a trial. A CON
tinuance was granted until the 10Th inst,
bail being fixed at 800 each, and to the sur
prise of every one security was Immediately
furnished by the last named individuals,
while Rogers, who got the worst of it, was
committed in default of bail Several prom
inent citizens appeared as witnesses in be-
half of Rogers, not, however, until the case
had been disposed of as above stated, the in
oignation being high from the fact Of
Rogers being committed while his aggressors
we're out on security. It may be stated that

To the Editor of the Globe.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.-Allow me to re-
turn thanks in behalf of the children, par
ents and teachers of this city for the gener-
GUS manner in which you have published in
the columns of your paper the articles writ
ten by our citizens in behalf of our educa-
tional discussions. Perhaps facts set forth
in those articles did not bring about any
change in the opinion of the school board,
nevertheless you showed yourself philan-
thropic representative of the female sex,
which is more than we can say
of the editors of the would-be
leading journals published in this
city of St Paul. Yes, both the papers of
late have been feeding their readers on brag-
ardism about which had the greatest circu-
lation. Both, Imean the p. p. and Tribune,
refused space to articles, some of which
have been published in your paper. Query:
Can any one give the reasons, unless per
chance the stockholders we're waiting to see
whether it would be policy to advocate the
cause of children and teachers? From the
treatment of our lady teachers to-day on the
retrenchment scheme, il seems that the end
is not yet reached. We are certainly enter
prising citizens in the broadest sense of the
case. Thanking you again for past favors,
remain respectfully yours, CITIZEN.

A free coinage bill is demanded by the
business men of this country. The issue OF
gold and silver from the mints should only
be limited by the needs of the community.

premium upon efforts to- disturb the finan-
cial condition of the country. If the money
kings of Wall street seek to corner gold or
silver, there ought to be means by which
business men, who need it, can obtain it
without paying tribute to the rapacity of
these sharks. Free coinage and the placing
of both gold and silver upon the same stand
ard, will prevent speculation in money, and
abolish the business of those who delight to
profit by the endorsements of others.
The bill in question is not intended as a
measure of initiation. The law of supply and
demand will regulate the amount of silver
coinage just as the same law of trade regu-
lates the production of other commodities.
When the country has enough coin for the
transaction of its business, coinage will
cease. 1t is simply designed to enable all
wants of a legitimate nature to be supplied,
not to flood the country with currency
that might become deprecated through its
overabundance. 1t is based upon the idea
that any given quantity of currency cannot
be made to answer under all conditions OF
| business; that there must be fe1ibility in
our currency rs in everything else.

Republicans will vote against the measure

interests. If they wish to make
such record for themselves, they will have
to bear the consequences. ae @

Looking Il After the Bridye.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The many hundreds of our citizens who
daily CROSS and recross the Wabashaw street
bridge leading to the Sixth ward are pain
fully alive to the apparent insecurity of said
bridge for travel by the public. Signs are
now visible of decay and rot in the sidewalks
and railing, an undue pressure and oscilla-
ton of the wooden spans when crossed over
by loaded teams, all of which raises the pre-
sumption that the timbers beneath the car
riage way are decaying and require repair
ing, bolts tightened, and wedging up, etc.
A critical examination of the bridge should
be made at once by competent authority,
the necessary repairs made and the public
mind relieved. Gan ounce of prevention is
better than pound of cure.''
A very serious responsibility rests with
those whose duty it is to attend to this mat
ter, and the sooner the city council provide
for thorough examination, and make the
necessary repairs of the bridge, the better it
will be for the credit of the city and at the
same time prevent law suits and probably
the payment of heavy damages arising out
of and caused by the negligence of the city
in the premises. SIXTH WARD.

C1N Il POOR ACTOR SUE ii NEWS
P4RER FOR LIBEL:

Is. .sf. /
novel libel suit has been heard in a
Pittsburgh court. twas brought by young
man who bears the euphonious name of
Marion Ogden, who took the part of one of
the able seamen in Capt Corcoran's crew on
board "Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore.'' Be-
fore essaying the base role of a bass singer
in 'the queens navee" Ogden was reporter
on one of the Pittsburgh papers, and it was
natural that his brethren of the Faber ST. ould
have an interest in his success, and flock to
hear him in his new role. One of them gave
full description of his appearance, declar-
ing that 'shis hair was lighter than of golden
hue; his complexion was that of the tender
shades of the ripened peach;" and, further,
that susceptible to- a fault, he admired a
naive and frisky damsel who person
ated one of the cousins of Sir Joseph. This
damsel was no other than Hebe, to whom the
young man was engaged to be married, and
had taken the pains to inform all his COM
panions of the fact, besides making it con-
| spicuous upon the stage. To these few
glowing remarks Marion took exceptions,
and stralghtway brought suit for libel
against the paper that published them, de-
manding exemplary damages for the temer-
ity of public journal in making little game
of SO good an actor aud SO good singer as
he. The usual result has followed. Inspired
by the ludicrousness of the situation all the
newspapers in the city have been pokirg fun
at him without stint, and he has been mer-
oilessly nagged on every hand. The trial
was funny one, the lawyers seeming to
take in the situation and to enjoy Fostering
tho fellow keenly. Even his own attorney
could not refrain from joke or two at his
expense, and merely contented himself with
the claim that any publication calculated to
bring his client into ridicule and contompt
was libel and ought to be punished. The
court, however, took a different view, and
held that the remarks were in the nature of
a criticism, and it was within the province
of newspaper to criticise all such. 1t was,
in fact, duty the newspapers owed to the
public, else there would be no security
against being overrun with horde of bad
actors and worse singers such as the COM
plainant appeared by the testimony to be-.
He therefore dismissed the complaint, told
Marion to 60 and marry Hebe if she was
willing, and go to raising few cousins and
sisters and aunts on their own account, but
in no emergency to again venture on the
stage, or words to that effect.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.-Permit me to
thank you for your kindness in opening
your columns for a discussion of the gues-
ton of reducing teachers salaries. More
gratitude is due from the fact that you
make no pretentions of representing our
city. There are, however, two daily papers
| that claim to represent its every interest,
and both have utterly refused to publish
respectfully written communications on
the above named subject. Why they did
SO is probably known to themselves only.
| The p. p. makes loud professions of the
''equal voice" of the editors of each of the
two cities. What that means is shown by
the refusal of the st. Paul managers to pub
lish several communications relative to the
action of the board of education in re-
ducing the salaries of teachers. Only such
of those written or forwarded by the
Minneapolis editor, as please the St. Paul
end, ever got into type. Have not learned
that SO many were offered to the Tribune,
but those that were, never appeared, though
taken with q promise to that effect. While
We feel humbled that the columns of our
own city papers we're closed to our friends
who thought us unjustly dealt with, our
gratitude to the GLOBE for it's efforts in
our behalf, is thereby increased. I under
stand the board thia afternoon has ascer-
tanned that the lower grade teachers can live by
taking cheap board, and stand the five per
cent. tax, so that is their vote again.
Thanking you, am gratefully
