THIS MUST BE A LIE--Let Justice

issued'by the companies Of this re-
sion, says:
Here is candid admission that the
shippers Of that region have again been at
their OLE trick OF melting the miners In
this region to a strike, for the avowed
purpose OF giving them an advantage in
the market with their coal Three times
have their emissaries invaded this regisn,
and succeeded in prrsusding our miners
to strike. with voluminous promises OF as
sistancs in the strike for their demand I;
and three times have they secured the
orders in this reg on for Their own, which
they could have gotten in no other, and
left our miners to fight 1t out by them
selves. until they were compelled to go to
work on the best terms they could get
from their employers Tor the want OF the
aid that had besn promised them from that
region,
Our companies admit no such thing
either candidly or otherwise. This
charge against them of having three
times gone among the miners of
competing region to incite trouble is
not maintained BY single occurrence
nor intimation of disposition in that
direction. In the present instance
the lower price of mining in Clear
field is cited as a moving cause OF re-
duction here. That is all. ANY pur-
pore Of influencing our miners to per-
suade Clearfsld to strike does not, ID
the paper or out of it, amount to
even the shadow of = HAT.

In all disputes both parties are
msa,urably right and wrong. The
existing one il no exception to the rule.
There is this difference however.
The vast majority Of papers, repre-

that the miners are in the wrong.

A VIRGINIA Yarn.

This very thrilling legend is connect
ed with one of the fashionable springs In
Virginia: Once upon a time family by
the name of Louis went from France
during troublous times to Ireland, where
they bought property and became Lew
ises. One OF the name, John Lewis, had
a beautiful wife, Margaret Linn, who
came from Loeb Linn, Scotland. A
neighboring earl admired beautiful Mar
garet, and one day in his cups addressed
her some words which she told her hus-
band. Riding over the place with some
companions one day to get look at the
beautiful Margaret, the husband went
cation the earl fired and the shot struck
brother of Lewis, who was lying i'll IL
the house. He fired in turn, struck the
earl and fled to America. Here he Sc
cured from the crown large grant of
land in Virginia. He started out for
Staunton to prospect and locatei it in COM
pany with two men, Clendennin and Nc
Ilhenny by name. Being pursued by
Indians, they separated, and John Lewis,
to hide his trail, sought water-course
This valley was then swamp in the
midst of forest. John Lewis plunged
into the morass upt his neck, and chilled
with the cool, frosty air of the fall night,
was delighted to find himself grow more
and more comfortable. Here he stayed
all night, and to his surprise in the morn
ing found that the deafness with which
he had been afflicted was all gone. The
Indians now being gone, he started again.
The three men met and followed the val
ley down. A few miles further they
crept under huge shelving rock, still
offering shelter for the night. In the
morning they found they were snowedin.
Here they stayed all winter, subsisting
on the abundant game in the valley. In
the spring they returned to Staunton to
learn their posthumous virtues, having
been thought killed by the Indians.
John Lewis did not forget the miracu-
lous waters, but returned and built the
log cabin which was still standing thirty
years ago, and marked the location OF
his grant

The Bread Returns

A Number of months ago man stopped
in Pittsburg, Pa, on his way to the
mines and borrowed 81, 400 from friend,
telling him at the same time that he as
s1med some risk IN giving him the
money, as he wanted to- invest in mines,
which might turn out we'll and might
not. His friend had faith and he got the
money. A few days ago the Pittsburg
man received by express a gold brick
worth ST., 900. A letter accompanying
it informed him that it was from the man
to whom chad loaned the 81, 400, and he
was urged toacceptit. not as payment OF
the loan, which would be settled a little
later, but as token of friendship and
good feeling.

CHRIST AND THE POOR.

Have you heard the legend told
Of the monk in convent old,
Who at the quiet eventide,
AS he bent in silent bliss,
Tear-stained, golden cross to kiss,
Saw the Saviour by his side I?
In his cold and narrow cell
Streamed the light ineffable,
AS the vision brighter grewl
Haloed brow and smiling face,
Arms held forth to him embrace,
Twas the Son of God. he knew.
Harkl that moment pealed the bell
Could he longer raptured dwell
On the sight that moved his soul?
&c Mol " the good monk softly saio;
. must feed the poor instead,
They are waiting for their dole"
But one sparkling tear-drop fell,
AS he left the quiet cell;
For the touch of Christ he yearnedl
In the light of setting sun,
All his humble duty done.
Blessed and glad he then returned.
Lo! with added glory smiled
He, the b ply, undefled,
Who had fingered fondly there;
Then were sweetest odors shed
Round the old monks silvered head:
From his lips sprang fervent prayer.
And the Master gently said:
"Had'st thou staid l must have fed"
And He touched him with His palm;
While, outside, the parting throng
He had fed burst into song,
And one star rose white and calm.

DUNNELL FOR PRESIDENT.

The tariff speech of Hon. nj. III. Dunnell
of this State, has attracted wide atten-
ton throughout the country. 1t IS the
more noticeable because, while he comes
from State and district overwhelmingly
Republican. he antagonHes the dominant
faction of his own party and
maps out an independent policy. A
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Times notes the prominence this
speech has given Mr.. Dunnell and quotes
prominent politician as proposing him
for the presidency. This suggestion
is made upon the basis of there
being reorganization of parties. with
the tariff as the leading issue.
Minnesota is a prolific State and there
seems to be no good reason why she
should not supply a President. The

farce, because it had no basis upon
which to rest. 1t was a little side
show gotten up to defeat Blaine and if
served the purpose. Mr.. Dunnell's can

In this State of rings within rings and
general political debauchery he has kept
aloof and has generally encountered the
opposition of the rings in his cam
paigns. He has repeatedly ap-
called from the small beer newspaper
and politician to the people, and they
have invariably sustained him. He is
not always discreet in his political move
ments, but he displays an indie
pendence of party trammels which
is commendable. He is a la
borious worker, a close student, and
has developed great deal since he first
entered Congress. If he should be nomi
mated for President there would be no
occasion to ''sound Jones' upon the
matter. He could count upon all the

ing that these meetings are fairly
and properly conducted. 1t must
be understood also that nomina-
tions at Democratic primarysmeetings in
st. Paul are only equivalent to an cleo
ton when proper candidates are named.
Candidates folsted on the party by the
tricks of the primaries or the rabble
which may chance to attend, must
be defeated at the polls. 1t
is time for the Democrats of
st. Paul to repudiate at the polls any
local candidates who are unfit for the po-
sltions to which they aspire. So long, as
political bummers think they can secure
the party support by capturing the pri.
maries, so long will it be almost i'm
possible to rid the primaries
of that element. They must
understand that instead of success, defeat
at the polls is positively inevitable. A
few lessons of this kind will have a
purifying effect upon the party. We
should not be surprised if there should be
opportunity to put this doctrine into
force this spring.

"Hasey Kirke.r

The peculiarly touching and healthful
comedy drama of "Hazel Kirke," though pre-
sented number of times in all the leading
cities of the United States, and altogether
more than thousand times in this country,
seems to possess the same charm and attrac-
ton Immediately following it's first produc-
ton. The story was again told to larger
and thoroughly enraptured ST. Paul audience
at the Opera house last evening, by the Madi-
son Square company. The company in the
main is like the play, excellent, aud the pres
entation last evening was in many respects
the best ever given in the city. Miss Belle
Archer made most lovable "Hazel Kirke,"
dressing, looking and acting all the differ
ent phases Of her part cred.
itably, and at times splendidly,
She appeared to especially good advantage in
the third act, both in her interview with Lord
Travers, her husband CIr. Herbert Archer),
and later with Lady Travers, and also in the
fourth and last acts. Mr.. Chas. Wheatleigh's
Dunstan Ki1ke was strangely defined char
acter, and Miss Ada Wright as Lady Travers,
and Mr.. Herbert Archer's Lord Travers, were
well rendered, while the Plttacus Green OF
Mr.. Joseph Frankan, was decidedly the best
ever seen in st. Paul, in fact, the entire cast
was good. Not the least pleasant feature was
the stage setting. nearly all the scenery used
being especially preparation the piece, and
carried by the company. ''Hazel Kirke'' will
be repeated this evening.

Mp. Baies,vin's Concert.

The farewell concert of Mr.. s. A. Baldwin,
at the House of Hope church, last evening,
was an exceedingly pleasant occasion, and
the numbers present must have been very
agreeable indeed to the gentleman for whose
benefit the entertainment was given, The
programme consisted of ten selections, which
covered wide range of music of rather seri-
GUS character, some of whichwas full of great
difficulties. The principal parsonage in the con-
cert and the one ia whom the audience was
mostly interested, was Mr.. Baldwin. There is
something so persistent, Industrious, consci-
entious, and successful withal, in the efforts
OF the young man to reach q high position in
the art and science of music, that the whole
audience, and it was large one too, showed
very deep interest every time that he approached
the noble instrument he handles with SO much
skill. 1t is not saying too much to assert
that he gave the four solos that were set down
for him on The programme with great skill,
delicacy, and expression. Mr.. Baldwin will
be accompanied abroad with the best wishes
of host of friends who will watch his pro-
gress with much interest and we'll
grounded hopes and expectations. The
members of the House of Hope
and Plymouth church choirs, that assisted in
the concerts are well known to the readers of
the GLOBE, land are so often heard by..them that
special mention of each individual member is
not necessary, The two choirs rendered very
effective service in aiding in rendering the
concert pleasing: The church is not accep-
ted as very suitable place for much applause
still the temptation to applaud last evening
was very great and there was good deal OF
it The only response to an encore was
that of Miss May and Miss Nellie Thurston,
who could not very well avoid responding, as
the audience was very determined that they
should. Miss Burbank gave the Ave Maria
with much taste and skill, and the audience
insisted upon her return, but unsuccessfully.
Prof. Leib, in the absence of Miss Kountz,
gave charming song. He seemed to be in
excellent voice, and sang it with bis accus-
toned good taste. The whole concert was a
very excellent one indeed, and wholly satisfac-
tory. -.

The official notification given by AS
sistant Postmaster General Hatton to
ward bummers of the country that they
can serve with perfect impunity the gov
eminent and the political machine at
the same time, will at least serve the
purpose of forcing that prince of political
frauds, George William Curtis, to show
his hand on the civil service reform
issue. This notice, coming as it does
from an official holding such close polit-
ical relations with the President,
squelches most effectively the civil SER
vice reform movement so far as Arthur's
administration is concerned. 1t remains
now to be seen whether or not the great
mogul of the movement will continue TO
cat dirt and support the present anti-civil
service reform administration, or come
out boldly on the Democratic platform
for honesty, competency and economy in
the administration Of the government.

The editor of the Chicago Tribune is
not, in all probability, statesman, but
he is very accurate observer and, at
times, an impartial critic of passing
events. Like all men of large and
varied experience in public affairs, Mr..
Medill has succeeded in developing into
presentable proportions, the bump of
egotism. When Long John Wentworth
stated in his Chicago lecture, some time
since, that what John Adams did
not know about the theory and workings
of our government, he Long John did,
the ire of the Nestor of Chicago journal
ism was noticed to be perceptibly stirred
to It's very source, and Long John was at
once, through the medium of Tribune
paragraph, relegated to his proper sphere
by being nominated for position in the
Chicago board of aldermen. But the
connecting link between the era of states
manship in which John Adams was a
prominent actor, and the present era
of political upstairs and pretenders, de-
clined the proffered honor with what the
result of the recent election in that city
has demonstrated to be that rare iudg-
ment and discretion characteristic of the
carly days of his public career.
