DIDS'r LIKE TIT would be hard

sections Of our wonderful old State were
agreed and 1t would De still harder to
find a public exhibition that pleased
everybody. Perhaps it will do no harm
to diversity the common praise of the
late State Fair, by a few quotations
showing opinions contrarlwiSe, and re-
versical. Col. r II. l. writes the IN
son Times:
Saw one man-an ex-M. C.-who
had been to the Raleigh Fair, and he
said it was a .fasco, a flzzle. a failure.
That's what he said, but he used an ex
pletive by way of emphasis. commencing

COMMENT

Reports have missed the mark
The stock exhibit was superior to any
since the war;, and the races were held
in the back ground because for many
the grand chorus Of complaint has been
that the Fair was converted into a race
course. 1t should be remembered that
the Fair is a State Fair, not a Raleigh
Fair, and if the State does not choose
to make the fair a good OF e. whose
is the fault?
This year there were large premiums
IN cash, and free transportation on the
railroads. What more could be asked.
OF course there was room for criticism ;
but let the critic first ask. Did | do
anything to assist in making a good
fair?

this city attended the last sad rites.
The particulars relating to the snicide OF G.
n. Sargent, whose death was noticed in the
GLOBE of yesterday, are as follows: Friday
evening he purchased at Weber's drug store
one ounce of laudanum, and going home re-
tired as usual. Saturday morning, on his not
arising for breakfast, his mother called him,
and as he did not answer, she went into his
chamber and found him in spasms. Medical
aid was summoned 1.-THE empty vial telling its
own story) and restoratives were quickly ad-
ministered, but the poison had left the stomach
and entered the system. He revived, however,
sufficiently to state that he had been hit on the
head with a club and his pocket-book taken
from him. His wallet is missing, and a large
black and blue spot on his head attest to the
authenticity of his story. Hopes were enter
tanned that he would survive, but while every
thing was done known to medical science, he
sank away, and the spark of life had fled
almost before they were aware of it. The
poison was, in all probability, in his stomach
twelve hours before it was known. Mr.. Sar-
gent is IS years old, and as he has been out of
employment for some time, had been morose
and Respondent. We are told he has rheu-
matism, and when in acute pain has been in
the habit of taking laudanum to deaden the
sensibiities. That being fact, his detection,
combined with the blow, no doubt caused him
to do this rash act.

TOO MUCH THEORY.
The Local argument the Strong Point for a
High School.

The Local argument the Strong Point for a
High School.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Allow me to express my qualification with
your editorial on the High school question in
yesterdays paper. AS contrasted with the
long-winded effusion of Citizens decoy duck,
Rev. Mr.. McLean's paper, it is refreshing
The only answer the latter requires is to be
found in the fact that every prominent city in
California has a High school. And SO these
theorists go on with their augmentation
against this institution, and every municipal
ity of any enterprise proceeds to establish and
foster it. The whole question for st. Paul
voters is practically settled by what you said.
The school exists here, and is by law an in
tegral part of our city school system. To deny
it proper and healtful housing now, would be
piece of meanness on the part of St. Paul,
that would bring upon it lasting stigma oil
shame and contempt. 1t will irrenarably dam
age our city to do aught else than erect the
long-needed building.
AS you we'll put it, the local argyll
ment, is reason enough for the cordial sup
port of the High school bill. The good name.
and educational standing of the city is now at
take, and such theorists as whack away about
taxation, and against the High school system,
are really counseling what YOU wisely op-
pose, viz: taking ga step backward" Gin the
race for supremacy" St. Paul needs COM
modious, tasteful High school building as
much as it needs water works, railroad shops,
sewers, bridges, ETC., etc. The tax for the one
is as defensible as for the others, and the pub
lie advantages accruing from the one are just
as great as those resulting from other material
improvements. Let all citizens, OF every par.
ty and faith, stand together as supporters OF
the High school bill because of its local i'm
portance and as local measure. *x*

would Hit Him Over the Head.

A portion of one days proceedings IN the
Riley case at Austin was delayed in transmits
sion until too late to be of any service. There
is one point, however, which will bear preser-
walton. Frank Riley, brother of the prisoner,
testified as follows:
When Judge Page said in court at the time
of my alleged assault upon him that if some
one was to hold up pocket book and ask who
had lost it, Frank Riley would be the first one to
claim it, | went forward with the intention OF
claiming the protection of the court, and before
got far The whole house were on their feet
and they were pulling me about every way; had
no malicious intentions upon Judge Page at
that time; have no feelings of hostility towards
him, may first feel hostile towards him Will
he is abusing me, but do not continue to
hold it.
On the cross examination the following evil
dence was given by the same witness:
Do not feel more hostile to Judge Page than
he does to me.
How does he feel towards you?
Answer-He would hit me over the head
with club if he could.
1t is refreshing to know that honors were
easy and that while the witness had "no i'll
will" towards Page he simply reciprocated and
would hit him over the head with a club if he

The Municipal j udgeship.
To the Ed tor of the Globe.


Referring to an article in your Mon
days issue exposing the present con-
dition of the municipal court, the
writer is satisfied that no one can cOntrO-
vert the facts therein stated, except the
statement fixing the election this spring,
which is the only mistake contained in
said article. The election of municipal
Judge under the law, and it cannot be sue
cessfully denied, was last spring, running
four years from that time. An action was
recently brought to determine the consti-
tutionality Of the law under which Judge
Flint received his office, but the matter
was slipped over in peculiar and some
what unaccountable manner, without
going into the merits of the case. The
law referred to was passed March /, 1876,
which was entirely local in its nature,
providing simply for the election
of one Judge without pro-
vision for future election, and if said
law had been of any legal force it in no
way authorized the election of Mr.. Burr,
utilities, and any attempted legalization
of Burr's election Is without any force,
the consequence beng that the municipal
court of St. Paul is to-day without a
qualified Judge, the acting judge being
incapacitated to perform any official du-
ties, and under the circumstances no one
is bound by his decisions. 1t may be I'M
fortunate that such state of things ex-
lists. Yet nevertheless, it is fact, and
it would undoubtedly be duty for some
citizen to enjoin the city and thus prevent
it from paying salary to bogus judge.

Off for the Blue Grass Regions.

At noon to day Mr.. Norman W. Kittson, &C.
companied by Mr.. Dan. Woodmansee, leaves
for the blue grass regions of Kentucky and
Tennessee, for the purpose of looking over the
fine horse flesh there to be seen, and of max
ing several important purchases, if he finds
what lie wants-a trOtting bred and thorough
bred stallion being special object of the visit.
The gentlemen first go to Cincinnati, thence to
Kentucky and Tennessee, to be absent two Or
three weeks. While nothing is known posi-
lively of Mr.. Kittson's intentions in the selec-
ton of stations for his stud, as to particular
animals, style of breeding, etc., the intelli-
gence and sound Judgment shown by him in
the purchases thus far made, for his breeding
farm, is guarantee that whatever purchases
he may make will bear the test of purity OF
blood, perfection of form, and active and es-
tablished power to transmit their good quail
ties to their progeny. When the purchases
are made, as they will undoubtedly be before
Mr.. KitIson's return to st. Paul, the GLOBE
will tell it readers all about the animals.
