HOOdlumS Punished.

William Scully, Thomas Nash and
William Hedman were before Judge
O'Brien yesterday morning, charged with
inaugurating most disgraceful row in
Haiter's saloon near the City mills
Night before last the trio started out for
bender, and from liberal treating they a
became jolly drunk, then ugly and quar-
relsome. They brought up at the saloon
named about II o'clock and were suffi-
GENTLY primed with bad booze for row.
They commenced by insulting the pro-
prietor, and when eXpostulated with
kicked over the stove. Then the riot
commenced in real earnest Hedman
picked up plate and threw it at the bar
tender, hitting the dispenser of Jersey
lightning in the head while the chairs
and furniture flew in all directions. Final
ly they were elected, in time enough to
fall into the embraces of Officers Bros
seau and Nygard. From the testimony
it appeared that Hedman had been the
ringleader and Nash had carried out his
dictates, while the defendant, Scully, had
been roped into the party by accident and
had not taken an active part in the pro-
ceedings The court sentenced Hedman
to twenty-five and Nash to twenty days
in the cooler. Defendant Scully was dis
charged with the warning to never again
be found in such bad company.

THE CANADA P1CIFIC.

The Dominion agitation over the Pa
cific railroad is matter which is viewed
with especial interest in this section of the
country. st. Paul has vital interests in
this matter as it practically gives this city
the terminus of a second Pacific railway
In our news department we give some
authentic outlines of the proposed com
pany and contract which more fully show
the material interests of this CITY and
State in the great enterprise.
A great contest is now in progress in
the Dominion parliament at Ottawa, rel
alive to the ratification of the contract
and the passage of an act granting a
special charter to the proposed Canada
Pacific company. The votes and senti-
ment thus far render it certain that the
government will be sustained and the
programme, as laid down, executed. II
is, therefore, but a question of time
when the great work will be
under way, with St. Paula the base OF
operations and supplies.
The Montreal Herald INDUCES in this
very just criticism:
1t is pity that its advantages should be
married by the absurd obstinacy which insists
on the immediate construction of the eastern
section from Nipissing to Kaministiuuia
Some assistance to road to the Slult Ste
Marie would not only have opened up an enor
nous tract of land on the American side fol-
our own seaports, but it would
have enabled us to dispense fOl
many years, until the Prairie Pro
vinces become large exporters, with an enor
nous outlay of capital. From the Sault to
kaministiquia steamboat service would have
provided for everything at all likely to be re-
quired for many years in the traffic between
those prairie provinces and old Canada, and
we have heard of no one yet sanguine enough
to believe that the Eastern section will fur
nish any Independent local traffic.
1t is to be hoped that this "absurd OBJ
stinacy" will not be adhered to and il
will be strange if the populous portion of
the Dominion does not awake to the fact
that they cannot force trade
and travel into an unnatural
channel by simply laying iron rails. The
true and natural route for the Canadians
to reach their Pacific railway is via Chi
cago and St. Paul. A glance at the mar
demonstrates this, and if they are so fool
ish as to waste their money on the eastern
section, they can not change the inevitable
Freight and passengers will both seek
the cheapest and most expeditions route
of communication, and THAT route is viz

The Abbott Opera Season.

The Emma Abbott Opera company is
playing very successful engagement at
st. Louis this week, the theater being
crowded nightly by the most fashionable
people Of the city. The artists are all
spoken of in the highest terms by the pa
pers of that city, and are said to especial
ly excel in the three most prominent
operas which they will present in this
city next week-E'The Bride of Hammer
moor mariana and martha" Miss
Abbott is laboring hard to take the fore
most rank as an exponent of English
opera, and with the aid of her excellent
company she will achieve even greater
honors than in previous seasons. He1
audiences this year are larger than ever
before
The sale of reserved seats for the season
will begin at the Opera house box office
at O'Clock this morning. In order to
avoid the rush it will be necessary to APP

THE New York Herald publishes an
elaborate review.of the Senatorial contest
i'll Minnesota, which is elsewere repro
duced in the GLOBE. Though it appears
without st. Paul date or even as CORE
spondence, it was evidently the work OF
some imaginative genius located at this
center of political deviltry The perfect
abandon with which the writer trans
forms the so-called candidates into ssgreat
men, is highly amusing here, where the
subjects of the ridiculous laudations are
known. But after all we can't have the
heart to blame the correspondent. He
essayed the task of showing that the
Republican party of Minnesota had some
great men in its ranks, and how else
could he make out his case save by mag
NATIVE lying? We forgive him. 1t was
a case of necessity.

n DISPATCH to the Chicago Tribune says
that Gen. Grant, in abiding to the Nor
gan resolution relative to the electoral
count, that he believed the Democrats had
more serious purpose than they .avowed
in pressing the concurrent rule for the
electoral count. He says their eagerness
is incompatible with being satisfied with
the result of the election. Men generally
judge of the motives of others by self
introspection. 1t is just to assume, there
fore, that if Grant and his party were in
the place of the Democrats, the plan
limited at by Grant would be their govern
ing impulse
