CAPT. WM. RHODES.

Seldom has this community been more
shocked than yesterday forenoon when
the word went around the business por-
ton of the city that Capt. VIM. Rhodes
was dead. He had so recently been upon
the street and at his office attending to
business, that very few knew of his ill
ness and the announcement of his death
came with shocking suddenness. Capt.
Rhodes belonged to the class of citizens
we can Ill afford to lose. Enterprising
and public spirited, scrupulous in his in
tegrity, he filled a place in the commu-
nifty which cannot be readilyitaken by an
other. He was respected by everyone
who knew him and his counsels in all
public matters carried great weight. His
death is a public loss and the city shares
in the affection with his immediate
friends and relatives.

THE LEGISLATURE.
TWO SESSIONS OFTHE SENATE HELD
YESTERDAY.
Quite Number of Important Bills Of
aWest st. Paul Levee-The County Asses
sOrs and Tree Bounty Bills Defeated
The House Not in Session.
SENATE.

Two sessions of the Senate were held
yesterday. A few bills were Introduces
at the morning session, but none of espe-
cial Importance, but in the afternoon
Col. Crooks introduced bill authorizing
the city of st. Paul to issue $1,000 in
bonds to protect the Sixth ward from
overflow. Senator Powers presented his
protest against the pending measures for
the adjustment Of the Minnesota State
railroad bonds, and number Of unim-
pOrtant Senate and House bills were
passed. Both morning and afternoon
were essentially talking sessions, the
measures calling out the most discussion
being Senator Wilson's bill creating the
office of county assessor, and Senator
Peterson's bill to encourage timber Gull
ture on the western prairies by appropri-
ating modest little quarter-mill tax
amounting to $4,000 for that purpose,
both of which were set down upon. No
proposition has yet been made to clear
and grub the land in the eastern part of
the State for farms A new feature was
introduced in debate by two Senators
reading their speeches or essays, and the
new departure did not appear to be popu-
lar, judging from the numbers of pairs of
boots that went up on the desks and the
number of copies of the DAILY GLOBE
which obscured Senator's faces during
their delivery.

chairs, and shoddyites will demand that
new arts and sciences be taught to their
children 1t is so nice to have sons and
daughters excel in all that is teachable,
when the fond papa can make his car
penter and his mason and his washer
woman foot the bill! Certain branches
can easily, and should be added
to the present curriculum. There is the
harmony of motion, dancing, far more
useful than Greek, and far more genteel
than German. There is the latest Partisan
etiquette, so serviceable to Miss Shoddy
at the next governors reception. l am
not rOmancing; we must fit out the
youth of the land for their social duties,
and dancing and Partisan etiquette are in
order under this heading Indeed a
course of law and medicine should be add
as well have it. The laborer and the me-
chanic can pay the bill. aWhenever money
is wanted apply for a special levy, in the
name of education. 1t is not the first
time that great wrongs are perpetrated
under the cover of good names.
could say much more on this subject
1t is fertile one. Normal schools and
universities are all in the same boat, and
I would like to show by facts and fig
ures what fearful imposition
such so-called public institutions are
upon the people. But do not wish to
be too long 1 merely write to stimulate
public discussion, and thus contribute my
mite towards the liberation of the people

them and as unjust as landlord rents are
in Ireland. A change must come.

State at large. Then, too, the political
complexion of the district, with Wash
ington and Dakota counties thrown in to
make up the required population, would
be too uncertain to suit the majority of
the Republicans, who are determined to so
gerrymander the State as to leave no
chance for the election of Democrat to
Congress for the next ten years.
The Scandinavian question threatens to
create rumpus Though this element
is only about half as numerous as the
Democrats, it can command greater con-
sideration if its representatives shall so
elect. BY changing front the scandina-
VANS can easily change the political com
plexion of the State. They are extreme
ly clanish, and follow their leaders as a
flock of sheep follows the bellwether. If
it were possible all the settlements where
Swedes and Norwegians most do congre-
gate would be grouped in one Congress
sional district and left to work out their
own salvation-or the reverse. This, how
ever, is out of the question by reason of
the fact that Scandinavian settlements
are widely scattered over the length and
breadth of the State, and in two or three
of the districts they will inevitably be a
source of discomfort and quarreling.
If they are not properly recognized in one
Congressional district, they will transfer
their quarrels to another, and thus keep
the party to which they belong in con-
tinual hot water How to arrange the
districts, therefore, so as to keep the
Scandinavians in the background in all,
is puzzle that even the most astute
manipulation has as yet been unable to
solve.
There will yet be a very pretty fight
over the matter before adjournment, and
if some bad blood is not shown we
shall .be mistaken The Democrats
are powerless, and must be content to
submit to disfranchisement, though
thinking themselves entitled to at least
one Representative from the State. The
Scandinavians, however, can hold a rod
in terrorem over the Republican party,
and if their demands are not acceded to
can raise a lively rumpus. Yet it is
doubtful if all their threaten
ings will avail them anything.
They have threatened in the past, but
when the time has come for action they
have subsequently fallen into line and
done the dirty work for the party On all
occasions. The managers of the party
are confident that they will do the same
thing in the FIXTURE, and it is not probable

Sheriff Bray and the Sibley County Paupe

Sheriff Bray and the Sibley County Pauper.
1t was intimated in yesterdays issue of
the GLOBE that Sheriff Bray, of Sibley
county, had arrived in St. Paul, having in
charge an old and INDECENT woman named
Christine Oleson, the intention being to
place her on the Ramsey county poor farm.
Now it is wellknown that any attempt to
foist paupers or crazy persons from out
side districts on the charity loving COM
munity of St. Paul is looked upon with
disfavor by the authorities of this county.
So it came to pass that when the minion
of law swOoped down on Ramsey county
with the impecunlous old lady, there
was great CONSERVATION among the good
and true who conserve the interests of
this city. Somebody looked up the statute
and law was found under ordinance AZ
making it a punishable offense to land
paupers in this city.
This made the brethren feel happy,
and straightway it was resolved to make
the interloper suffer the stripes of the
law. Yesterday morning when Sheriff
Patrick Bray was resting under the de-
luded belief that he had bamboozled the
great law makers of Ramsey, the old lady
was put on the train and sent back to
Sibley county. Gen. Shields, the doughty
little pound master, was summoned and
given warrant for the arrest of Sheriff
Bray. The latter was found at his hotel
taking his dinner. On seeing the war
rant he said 1t was good joke; but the
general swore by the living tomcats that
he would have to impound him. There
being no other alternative he accompa-
MED the general to court, when he was
discharged, the witnesses not being pres
emit Sheriff Bray vows that he will sue
the city for damages.
