A Sammy Sabbath.

The delightful weather yesterday did not
seem materially to affect the churches, ex-
cept it was to increase their usually large
morning congregations. The service at St.
Marks was rendered particularly effective by
the choir which repeated the music which
was given at Easter. The Reformed Epis-
copal Christ church) was also we'll attended,
as were also the Centenary, Plymouth, First
Methodist, and several others into which
GLOBE man looked. The services at the
we'll attended, doubtless from the fact that
body to hear mass.
no service in the majority of the
churches, the roads and avenues leading out
to suburban resorts were lined with buggies
and other vehicles, which kept up one i'm
mense cloud of dust, rendering travel any
thing but agreeable. The dust, however,
was good for wayside ssbeer gardens "last
| chances" and half lf-way houses, and not good
for the reeling head and unsteady hand on
| the return trip. Lakes Harriet and Cal
houn, with their beautiful meandering
drives and pleasant dells, were peopled with
pleasure seekers, and Minnehaha had the
largest crowd which has gathered about its
deep glens and listened to the music of it's
purling waters this season.
Saloon keepers still continue to defy the
mayor and his proclamation, and yesterday
it was as easy to get glass of beer or wins
ky within the city limits as it is in st. Paul.
There are some half dozen saloon men who
strictly observe the law and close all day on
Sunday, and in Justice to those the ordinance
should either be enforced or repealed.

RHE Republicans have been in worse
situation than Japhet in search of father
in their endeavor to secure a candidate for
mayor. Gen. Averill happened to leave the
city on Saturday, on business, and they i'm
mediate]y announce that he is to be their
candidate OF course if he was at home be
would decline, and will do so when he re-
turns, if he should be nominated. They
played the same game few years ago, and
as no one who was at home to decline would
allow his name to be used Gen. Averill was
nominated. He promptly telegraphed his
declination and the whole ticket went to
pieces. 1t won't be worth tho generals
while to go to the expense of telegram this
time. The gang that are running the ma
chine are not worth it, and every one we'll
knows he will not accept such an empty
honor.

The determination of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul road to build their short line from
st. Paul to Minneapolis ola Meeker's land
ing crossing the river at that point, revives
the ancient memories of a St. Paul water
power. But for the opposition from Min
neapolis. there would have been fully de,
veloped water power at that point years ago.
1t would, in reality, have beon OF incalcula-
bic benefit to Minneapolis to have had the
proposed Meeker's dam built, but there was
gang, just as there is now, who prefer to
decline incidental advantage until it is abso-
lutte and entire in behalf of Minneapolis.
This bridge will do a good deal towards se-
curing the construction of that dam. In
fact it may be said to make it certain.

DE La MITYR'S HOBBY.

The bill introduced in the House on Sat-
urday by Mr.. De La Matyr proposing that
the government go into the printing and
loaning of an unlimited quantity of paper
money is not original with that distin.
guished statesman. At every session of
such scheme has managed to find it's way in
to one branch or the other and to consume
valuable time. It differs this time only in
degree from the other bills of like pur-
pose. It requires the secretary of the treas
ury to have prepared notes and obligations
of the United States to the aggregate of
81 ,OOO,O0O,O00, to be known as greenbacI1
currency, for general circulation in amounts
and form as the bill provides, which notes
or obligations shall constitute legal tender
States government dues. These notes shall
be issued in notes of SIS, $40, 800, 800,
$500, $1,000, and Sic, 1000, each in such rel
ative proportion as may be found necessary
to meet the requirements of the business
wants Of the country. The secretary of the
treasury is authorized to loan from such
greenback currency to corporations, provid-
ing they file their bonds payable fifty years
from said date; but at the expiration of five
years the bonds shall bear interest at three
per cent. per annum, legal tender money;
interest to be paid semi-annually.
Fortunately for the country, the majority
of our congressman are not idiotic enough
to approve of such hair-brained scheme as
this. It is useless to argue its absurdity, for
people who advocate, Or even entertain, such
propositions, are not open to reason. To say
nothing OF, the depreciation to the currency
by reason of flooding the country with such
a vast amount of treasury notes, the sugges-
ton that the government should so far exer-
else it's paternalistic province as to grant
these enormous loans to whoever should ap-
ply without interest is an absurdity on its
face. We opine that De La Matyr will find
but few supporters, even among the Green,
hackers in Congress Certainly no members
of any other party will be guilty of commit
ting political suicide by adopting such crazy
financial theories.

NECESSITY OF SELF PROTECTION.

NECESSITY OF SELF PROTECTION.
The recent action of the wheat buyers in
their convention at St. Paul is attracting
wide attention. The defnant attitude the
buyers assumed in absolutely declining to
use the sealed half bushel, has made deep
impression among producers. The general
admission that the brass kettle can be made
to swindle, coupled with the refusal to use
anything else, has set the farmers to reflect
ing.
The farmers have the power to help
themselves if they will. We are not
sanguine that they will do so even
though the way is plain and
simple. They are strong enough
numerically to elect their Governor and a
legislature. They seem to delight to stand
by the Republican party, even though it outs
their own throats. A member of the wheat
ring is in the Governors chair, and is talked
of for third term. The Republican can
didate for Congress in this district last fall
is member of the ring, and he, too, received
the majority of the votes cast. This fail, il
the Republicans make an entire State ticket
of members of the ring, of course the farm.
ers will give them their support. They al
ways do. They have not grit enough to in
duce them to vote for their own interests
and they come up smilingly anc
elect the ring candidates every
time. When the farmers have wi
enough to organize for self protection anG
make that organization sufficiently effective
to be felt at the polls, there will be no meet
ings of wheat buyers to hurl defiance at tn,
laws of the State. The farmers will deserve
the plundering they are receiving if they dc
not protect themselves. If they love tn
ring which oppresses them SO we'll that the,
continue them in power, the robbery the,
suffer will be self inflicted and deserved. I
romans entirely with the farmers to de
termine for themselves the kind of treatmen
they shall receive.

KATE CLAxTON's HUSBAND.
He Punches a HANS Head for Insulting
HIS Wife.
lAtchison Patriot

After the performance last night Kate
Claxton (or Mrs. Stevenson) returned to the
Garrison house, where she was stopping,
and retired to her room. Kate Claxton's
room is No. 42, and the ladies belonging to
the troupe roomed near her, the doors of their
rooms opening into the small hall. Directly
opposite room No. AZ is No. 43. This was
occupied by a man from Warrensburg, who
came in on the 1O:45 P. NJ. train. The la
dies were passing into each others rooms at
intervals, and meeting each other in the
hall, would chat and laugh over the events
of the evening, or those anticipated on the
morrow. Among those in the hall was Kate
Claxton.
The man from Warrensburg was evidently
a susceptible cuss, for he went out into the
hall and tried to make himself generally
agreeable without any formality. He walked
up and down the hall intermingling with
the ladies until he met Kate Claxton, with
whom he entered into conversation, in the
course of which he gave Miss Claxton very
pressing invitation to come into his room.
The insult was indignantly repelled by
the actress, who Immediately rang the bell,
and, when the bell-Doy appeared, told him
W LulOAAA Ao1 AuSOaAu, AAA' " a. Oe0NOIoOLA3
who was down stairs, that she wished to see
him Immediately. Mr.. Stevenson instantly
appeared in answer to the summons of his
wife, who informed him of the insult
she had received.
In short time the man from Warrens-
burgh was out into the hall, and Stevenson
sprang on him like an enraged tiger. He is
a young, powerful and athletic man, and he
gave the man from Warrensburg terrible
beating.
The noise of the afray drew other parties
to the scene, and the porter of the house
succeeded in extricating the man from War
rensburg from his perilous position, or to-
day there would have been funeral at War
rensburg.
The stranger was taken down stairs, ane
one of the proprietors of the garrison hand
ed him back the money he had paid, ane
told him to leave the house and not stane
upon the order of going, but go at once.

Blu Kings ASSAULT on Er-senator Ram
[st. Cloud Times.]

seq.
st. Cloud Times
Any person familiar with local matters in
st. Paul well knows that ex-senator Ram
sey is one of the largest owners of lots and
blocks in that city; they also know that he
absolutely does little or nothing in the way
OF improving his city property. OF
course, there are few others of like dis
position. The Pioneer Press of the 9th
closed an article on this class of do-nothings
with the following ungracious fling at "Bluf
Alec," ct al:
These people have been the curse of st.
Paul. 1t is safe to say but for them the pop
uiatlon of st. Paul would have been double
what it is to-day. Many important advant-
ages have been lost to it in times past, and are
jeopardized now by the inbecile avarice of this
extraordinary breed of human hogs. The people
OF st. Paul have been waiting in some cases
fifteen. twenty or twenty-five years for these
miserly old rascals to die off. But their grip
on life Is apparently as tenacious as their grip
| ON corner lots. And 1t is not hagfM to shoot
| the. What is to be done about it is the same
insolvab,e problem it has been for maay years,
and we can only trust that the good Lord in
his infinite mercy may deliver US soon from the
