THE SON OF HIS DAD.
sDo You Know Who am? My Name i
Blaine"

"Do You Know Who am? My Name is
Blaine"
The following episode took place at the Opers
House on Wednesday evening as the curtain
was about to rise on McCullough's impersona-
tion of Shylock: Enter three gentlemen, who
pass down the central isle to the parquette. A
gentleman named Charles occupies seat
alongside of which there are two sittings un-
occupied.
The spokesman of the party approaches Mr..
Charles and requests that he vacates the seat.
The latter inquired if he could produce check
for the seat, when the tall young man with a
prominent nose becomes enraged and perempt-
torily orders Mr.. Charles to vacate.
Mr.. Charles politely intimates that he will not
give up the seat until check Is produced,
when ensues the following conversation:
"Do you know who am, sir? My name is
Blaine, and demand that you give up that
seat"
II don't give blank who you are, and fur
thermore you are no gentleman, ETC., ETC."
''You shall answer for this after the perform
ance,' was the reply. when the music Temporal
rily subsidized.
After the performance the parties met and
upon demanding satisfaction, Mr.. Blaine, who
is the son of his father Jim Blaine was inform
ed that he could have all the satisfaction he
wanted.
'Let us retire to the rear of the building"
was the reply, and they started for the alley
back of the express Office.
Just as the alley was reached, the tall young
man changed his mind, and suddenly vanished
and has not been heard from since.

A Singular Forgery.

An inexplicable piece of forgery was dis
covered yesterday in Gov. Pillsbury's Office. A
letter was forwarded from White Earth agency
to the Governor purporting to come from the
interior department at Washington, ordering
twelve Indian chiefs to report in person to
Secretary Schurz. The letter was directed to
the Catholic priest in charge of the mission at
the agency, and requesting him to confer with
the Indian agent relative to the Indians to be
sent flrward. Suspicion in some way attached
to the letter, and it was handed Gov. Pillsbury
for further communication with the depart
meut in reference to the matter.
The letter was detected to be
forgery at once, and the finger marks were
plain. 1t was not written on paper head SIN
terror Department, etc.," and the envelope
used supplied this deficiency by removing the
envelope stamp of the department from some
other envelope and FASTING it on the one used.
In addition the letter was signed E. j. Brooks,
assistant secretary, etc., when in fact his name
is J E. Brooks. Altogether the affair was very
ciumsily gotten up. Suspicion attaches to a
loafer about the agency, who occupies semi
quasi official position, and the papers, together
with the suspicious aroused, Will be forwarded
to Washington. The object Of the forger can
not be understood.

ADJUSTMENTS.
METROPOLITAN THEATER

Mr.. Murray reproduced his specially Grip Van
Wrinkle" last evening and pleased the audience pres
emit in the highest degree. This play is of the
strongest the company has yet produced and Mr..
Murray gives very strong impersonation of the title
role. Grace Garland as Gretchen, Rips wife, does
clever acting and presents correct interpreta-
ton of the much abused wife of the vagabond. This
evening the company will appear in the popular So
ciety play entitled Estranged in which the origin
al company, supporting John Murray and Grace
Garland, made their first appearance here. 1t is a
play Of more than ordinary interest, is superbly
mounted and must draw we'll.
JOHN M CULLoUGH.
At the Academy of Music last evening, the eminent
tragedian, John Mccullough was greeted by the
Minneapolis amusement public in a manner that
must have been atterng to that great artist. Sell
dom has larger, more fashionable or intelligent
dience assembled within the walls Of that structure,
and surely none more apprecative, judging from the
applause. OF the play nothing need be said, as it
has been outlined in the GLoBE before, and all are
familiar with it. AS to Mr.. Mccullough, it can be
said that his great impersonation of "Virglnius''
was never better executed, and those present were
fairly carried by storm. Tonight the company ap-
pear in the double bill of The Merchant of Venice
and "Katherine and Petruchio." Seats have been
selling lively and another packed house is assured.

repeat the performance In national cleo
ton, and to crafty personal spite, defeat
the party at large. We submit that this
avowal shows an exceedingly mean spirit that
betokens lack of honesty and an utter fam
inc of Democratic principles.
The essential principle of Democracy is
that the majority must be permitted to rule.
To deny this privilege is to deny cardinal
point of doctrine that has long been respect
ed by the party. If Mr.. Kelly should sue
coed in carrying his point at Cincinnati. he
would deem it unfair on the part of those
who differ from him if they should organize
a bolt and run an independent candidate.
In politics as we'll as in other things that
which is sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander.
The running of an independent candidate
for the Presidency would probably be of lit
tie account. The animus of the movement
would be perfectly understood, and the fact
that its inspiration came from Tammany
Hall would serve to divest it of its power to
harm the party at large. 1t is well known
that Tammany Hall is Democratic only so
long as it can control the party, and is ready
at any moment to ally itself with the adver-
saries of that party if thereby it can demon
strate its strength. 1t is essentially selfish
and self-seeking, possessing none of the ele-
ments of genuine Democracy. If it should
carry out its threat of placing an independ-
emit candidate in the field against Mr.. Tilden
or whoever else may be the nominee, it will
only the more quickly seal it's own doom.
The mass of the party are in no mood to
tolerate bolt at such critical juncture as
the present, and if it should be inaugurated
would meet with but cold reception from
the electors.

The Iowa Democrats have adopted SEN
sibIe course in declining to instruct their
delegates to the Cincinnati convention to
vote for any particular candidate, leaving this
question to the best judgment of the gentle
men selected. If the convention as body
is left thus free and untrammeled it will be
enabled to take advantage of whatever blum
ders the Republicans may make, and to
choose the bert and strongest candidates that
may be presented. It should be borne in
mind by all conventions that events may
transpire between the date of the appoint
ment of the delegates and the holding of
the national convention which may render it
an tact of supreme folly to nominate any
given person now named in connection
with the Office, and it is the part of wis.,
dom to allow delegates to choose for them
selves. If they are not capable of wise
choice, and honest enough to act for the
best interests of the party and the
country, they should not be sent to Gin
cinnati.

TAMMANY'S THREAT.

The New York Star asks itself the ques-
ton whether, in the event of Tilden's nomi-
nation by the Cincinnati convention, an in
dependent Democratic candidate for the
Presidency will be placed in the field, and
then proceeds to answer in the affirmative.
The Star is the organ and mouthpiece of Mr..
John Kelly, the disreputable chief of the
Tammany gang, who, finding that he could
not rule the Democratic party of New York,
determined to ruin it. With no possibility
of success, he placed himself in nomination
last fall for the governorship of New York
against the regular candidate of the party he
professed to belong to, and by that means
accomplished his defeat. We are given to
understand by his organ that he proposes to

There is no change In bank business, though plen-

Milwaukee markets. Our telegraphic reports show
that at the lake ports wheat opened weak and sold
down during the day about 1hc, rallying toward the
close A@1lc. In New York wheat was dull, heavy
and lower with 100000 bushels taken for export.
Evening cables from Liverpool reported wheat

in Chicago shared the prevailing tendency and closed
at slightly lower values than on the day preceding.

Finley Did Not Represent Titden.
Washington Special N. Y. SUM-

When the clerk had finished reading Finley
letter to Mr.. Springer, ripple of laughter ran
through the chamber. Finley is well-known
character here-a notorious dead beat and adj
yenturer. His game is to secure crumbs of en-
ployment by representing himself to be upon
intimate terms with certain prominent public
men. He has for long time performed in the
role of friend and servant of Gov. Tilden. In
fact he never had anything to do, directly or
Indirectly, with Mr.. Tilden. In the campaign of
1876 he induced a member of the Democratic
committee to send him to Indiana, but upon
the discovery of his trne character he
was Immediately discharged. Finley has been
in Washington for several months past. When
the Democratic committee met here to select a
place and time for holding the convention, he
represented himself as able to fix the place for
the convention in Chicago for money consid-
Grafton. Lately he has been observed in con-
versation repeatedly with Donnelly. He prob
ably convinced the contestant that he had all
the powerful influence of MIR. Tilden at his
back to fix Mr.. Springer in Donnelly's behalf.
That Mr.. Donnelly should have been gulled by
such an imposter does not speak well for the
cunning which the contestant is reputed to
possess. Mr.. Springer repudiated the idea that
Finley had any authority to speak for Mr.. Til
den.

RACKET OF THE REGENTS

Important Session Yesterday--Pro Camp
bells Resignation Accepted--A Part OF
the Faculty Elected--Sevsral Vacancies
Left for Future Action, as Also the Ques-
ton of salaries--The Barnard Bill Dis
Flowed.
The State board of regents of the university
assembled yesterday morning at $50 o'clock.

Ex-Gov. Marshall, Prof. Tousley, Prof. Fol.
we'll, and Greenleaf Clark, Esq.
THE PAY OF PROFESSORS.
Business was begun by the submission OF
three resolutions by Prof. Folwell, in sub.
stance:
l. That no professor of the university should
receive the final instalment of his annual pay,
until he had certified that his work for the year
was completed, as to all reports, etc., required
by his office. Adopted.
THE FUNDS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
2. That the executive committee is empower
ed to make an equitable distribution or appor-
tionment of the university income to the
several departments.
Prof. Folwell explained that heretofore that
some departments had been deprived of aid by
the hasty allotment of the income to some de-
partments, others being wholly ignored. As
for instance the library had an allowance of
81, 600 per year for two years, but had not got
ten it, because others first come, had been
first served" when the crying wants of the
other departments were equally imperative.
He thought if the executive committee would
schedule the wants of each department., and
apportion according, an equitable plan would
thus be adopted for the distribution of the
university revenue, which had at present at
tanned the handsome figures of $4,000 per
year. The resolution was adopted.
PLAYING SOLDIER.
8. That military science and drill be
continued in use at the university in accord
ance with the plan proposed by Lieut.. Lundeen,
when professor at the university.
Prof. Folwell in explanation stated that he
thought on application to the secretary of war
that an army officer might be detailed for such
service, and if so, it would be desirable to ad-
here to the programme introduced by Prof.
Lundeen, as one little conflicting with the
other requirements of the course of study.
Superintendent Burt wanted to know
whether ''drill'' was compulsory.
Prof. Folwell answered that it was compul-
sorry in the collegiate course, especially en-
joined upon the sub-Freshman and Freshman
classes. while system of drill was had
throughout the course.
The resolution was adopted, after which the
board went inte executive secret session.

Selling Postage Stamps Illegally.

Special Agent 8. P. Childs, of the postoffict
department, arrived in st. Paul last evening
having in custody a man named A, Bertram
postmaster at Adams, Mower county. The
latter is charged with making false returns OF
stamp collections, and also of having sold
postage stamps for merchandise and applying
the latter to his own emolument.
According to the information at hand, the
prisoner has been engaged in the nefarious
practice for two years. during which time he
is supposed to have converted large quantity
of stamps, his duplicity being concealed by
Justification of the returns of cancelled stamps.
The exact amount of the embezzlement is not
known. The examination will take place this
morning before Judge Cardozo.

Theodore Thomas, Brealx.

CINCINNATI, April S.-Theodore Thomas
closed ais services in connection with the Col
lege of Music tonight, by conducting the last
of the series of orchestra concerts given by the
college. The last number of the programme
was appropriately chosen. 1t was Hiszt's SYM
phony poem ''Tasso. Lamento TriOnfo." Mr..
Thomas goes to New York tomorrow, where he
will gather together about 100 members of an
orchestra for the coming May festival, and may
rehearse some of the music for that occasion.
He returns here in three weeks to complete pre-
iminary work for the May festival.
