The Cyclop sdIa of History.

The series of Worlds Cyclopedias of
knowledge, Literature aud La ngusge," pro
jected by the Useful knowledge Publishing
company, of New York, is unique in It's plan
and il carried out as announced, will place
within the reach of the masses a library I'M
rivaled in magni tude, comprehensiveness and
scholarship. The historical portion of the
series illustrates the general scheme. Instead
OF being made up of brief sketches by un.
known authors, as are commonly the histor-
ical features of cyclopedias, the series viii
CONAN, unabridged the great standard works of
such authors as Green, Macaulay, Grote,
Carlyle, Guizot, Gibbot, Mommsen, and 9th
ers, with such additions by minor authors as
will make the work universal and complete,
as regards country and time. A comprehen-
siye index, covering the entire series, will
make consultation upon any topic convenient,
and will group together such wealth of
knowledge and interest, as Will surprise the
ordinary reader, and delight the profound
student. Green's larger history of the Eng
lish People, which forms The hrst volume of
the Cyclopedia of History, is just issued, COM
plete in itself; and is sold separately to those
who desire it, at the marvellously low price
of 81, for the cloth, and Sl.25 for the half
Russia binding. Other volumes will follow
quickly. Catalogues and descriptive circulars
may be had from the publishers or from their
agents in this city.

The Report Of the Progress Made n This
Branch of Education.
The high school board created by au act OF
the last legislature held its first meeting and
organized July1 The board has completed
its report, which has been filed with the sn-
perintendent of public instructions, and is as
follows:
The reports of visitors were submitted and
accepted. These reports, with very few
exceptions, represented the schools as in
very promising condition, and the officers
having control as determined to establish
schools of higher grade. In some instances
there was not sufficient room for the proper
accommodation Of the high school depart
ments. In some also the standard for en-
trance was so low that the scholarship under
the course pursued was not good. In others
again, there was an evident lack of ambition
and enthusiasm in the branches of a higher
education. These conditions are considered
Incidental to the work of fostering an interest
in liberal education, and under good direction
will soon disappear.
The term reports showed the schools to be
well attended, with a good percentage of
now resident pupils.
TIE report of the examiner showed ex-
cellent work done by some OF the schools
in the large number of examinations were

PUBLIC PLUMBER.

The passage of the River and Harbor
bill over the Presidents veto simply de-
monstrates the cohesive power of public
plumber. Though the bill had meritori-
GUS provisions which were used as a
cloak, it was the steals which it
embraced which gave it its strength.
On its legitimate merits the veto could
not have been overridden, because the
merits were sadly in the minority of the
steals. All of the members
were interested in the CHAINS, -
and though the bill was profit
gate, and VIGOROUSLY so. heltempta-
for public plumber was too great for sue
cessful resistance.
1t is probable that no more shameful
legislation has been enacted for years.
The demand for public improvement has
nOtgrown so great as to require an addition
of nine millions of dollars over any previ-
Gus year or an addition of nearly eleven
millions over two years ago. 1t was a
fat job, so fat as to make congress COM
munity of plumbers.
The people, however, who are not inter-
ested in the grab, will agree that no exc
utive ever performed more cIeditable act
than President Arthur In the use of what
power he possessed, to stay the swelling
tide of thievery.

About 200 OF the delegates TO the recent
Catholic Temperance union OF America, con.
vention at st. Paul, visited Minnetonka yester.
day, arriving at Wayzata on the $40 morning
train. The steamer Belle of Minnetonka was
unanimously selected as the one on
which the tour OF the lake
should be made and the nartv
started for the Hotel Lafayette, where 1t was
intended to spend the day. The run across
the lake was beguiled with music by the band
on the saloon deck, and some delightful vocal
selections by some OF the fair silver voiced
delegates who gathered around the piano In
the cabin. 1t was proposed to spend the day at
the Hotel Lafayette, but they were so charmed
with their accommodations on the big boat
that on the arrival at Lafayette only few dis
embarked, the msjority prefsrriug To continue
the trip to the upper lake. Those stopping at
the Lafayette filled up the day boating, f.h.
ing, etc., taking the boat again for Wayzata
at 3 O'Clock. The party remaining on the
Belle passed very Pleasant day. Steward
LYDIA served them very satisfactory dinner
and received many compliments for his skill
and kind attentions. On the return trip an
impromptu court was organized on the deck
OF the steamer, and T. ". Daily tried on a
charge OF an attempt to commit blgamy, with
Johanna Smith--real name unknown.
Mr., MeClary was chosen Judge, Misses
Campbell and Kiegon appeared for
the defense and Messrs. KeeIy
and o. seavey for the prosecution. Delegate
Holland OF Brooklyn, was elected sheriff for
the occasion. A jury was impsneled and the
trial proceeded, affording much merriment.
Some short personal hits were brought out by
the dissemination. The prisoner was
found to be not guilty and the complainant,
y. u. Fenberry, guilty of perjury, and fined
the cigars for the crowd.
The party arrived at Wayzata and took the
train for ST. Paul at 4:50, returning well
pleased with the trip.

the lower part of Hills old warehouse, and
walked him clear TO the other end of it. When
they reached the end of the warehouse the two
men pointed to pair of rickety old stairs, and

Il MOOrED QUESTION SETTLED.

A Minneapolis morning paper, printed
in this city, succeeded few days ago in
creating some alarm by grossly exag-
gerated statement of the health of the
city, alleging that there was an
alarming presence of scarlet fever
and diphtheria. The statement was
evidently designed to make it appear
that st. Paul is unhealthy because other
localities, not far distant, have been
sadly afflicted.
The statement published in yesterdays
GLOBE from the Oakland Cemetery associ.
alton effectually sets at rest the malicious
report of this hostile newspaper, which
evidently expects to secure outside pat
ronage in return for its Sian der. If
disease is so prevalent it is pretty sure
the victims must be buried somewhere.
The statements of the cemeteries show
that in the entire city during the month
of July there were but seven deaths from
diphtheria, two from scarlet fever and
three from typhoid fever. Three of the
interments from diphtheria were brought
from outside the city, leaving total
of only nine deaths from
the three alleged epidemic
diseases in the entire month of July.
For city of $4,000 inhabitants this
cannot be considered an alarming rec
ord.
The casual reader should bear
in mind that, while the COM
munication in question, giving these
valuable statistics, emanated from
the Oakland Cemetery association, it GOV.
cred the official report of interments
from FIVE cemeteries--all that there are
in the city. There never was
more complete and satisfactory
answer made to slanderous statement
assailing the health of the city, and the
thanks of the public are due to the Oak
land officials, for their prompt and en-
phatic extinguisher.
1t ought to show the public the charac-
ter of the Minneapolis sheet, which as
matter of mechanical convenience is
printed in st. Paul, but which never
loses an opportunity. to administer stab.

HOW TO SMASH THE SLATE.

The GLOBE does not assume to pre-
dict what action the Democratic conven-
ton in the First District will take when
it assemblies at Winona on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER, but it has no hesitation in stating
what it believes would be
good and shrewd political
policy. The contest in the First district
is not, in reality, upon the member of the
house, but relative to who shall succeed
Mr.. Window in the United States senate.
The election Of Milo White will prove a
great boom for the Window ma
chine and every Democrat and anti-ring
Republican ought to be willing to labor
for Whites overthrow.
Whatever protestations may be made
for effect, there is one so destitute of
common sense as not to appreciate that a
Democratic nominee cannot defeat Mr..
White.
Neither can any one, with common
sense, claim that it would be any sacrifice
of principle for the Democrats to decline
to make nomination and leave a clear
field for Mr.. Dunnell.
The effort to fire the Democratic heart
by claiming that the Democracy should
not take up defeated Republicans, or
endorse politicians of an opposite party,
is mere bosh and empty clap
trap. No one proposes or asks
to have the Democrats endorse Mr..
Dunnell. No .one, on the other hand,
asks or expects Mr.. Dunnell to abdicate
his party affiliations. 1t is simply pro-
posed to take the lesser of the two evils
and give an element of the Republican
party an opportunity to revolt against
the Window dynasty. The Democrats
do not stultify themselves by giving the
Republicans an opportunity to enjoy a
free fight.
There is no installing the popular
sentiment in the First District. Mr..
Dunnell against Mr.. White alone would
sweep the district by at least
five thousand, and with his
success the Window legislative
tickets would be hopelessly buried and
their places filled with Democrats anc

The st. Cloud Times, the "off1cial

District, publishes the following in the
report of the proceedings of the Fifth
District Democratic committee meeting
held at Brainerd:
Mr.. Macdonald moved that Mr.. Simmons be

the circumstances, it might have been admissi-

reservIng that right the motion was made. 1t
was adopted unanimously.
1t would be very mean to inquire
whether Mr.. Macdonald was impelled to
make this motion by any desire to make
Democratic precedent to be quoted by
the Nelson Republicans as authority for
their attempt to ignore at Detroit the
selection of the Republican state central
committee. AS 1t is impossible for the

week by the arrest of criminal and bis
rescue and the murder of the jailer, Capt.
Sam Scott, by gang Of the Sandsmen, Is not
yet settled. Monday night the Sandsmen en-.
camped on Pell creek, nine miles from
Muscogee, In command of a not.d
desperate named Dick Glass. Chief Scott, of
the Creek nation, was In camp eighteen miles
distant with $50 men, and citizens were still
coming to his aid. When his command
reaches 500 he will arrest the twelve slayers of
Capt Scott. The Sandsmen called on Agent
Tufts, at Mnscogee, who advised them
to surrender the men wanted by the
authorities as the only means OF
preventing bloodshed. This they emphati-
cally refused to 90 and reiterated their inten-
ton to stand by their comrades to the bitter
end. Great excitement prevails over the
nation. As matters now stand the Glass gang
must either disperse and let Captain Scott's
murderers take their chances with the officers
or bIOodshed will follow.
