MOUNTAIN LORE.
By MRS. xARaARnr B. PrrxE.

How many robes, O mountains,
Do ye wear In single day?
Purple and blue and amethyst,
Bright golden and mystical grey -,
These are a part Of the colors
Ye choose for your gorgeous array. -
Under your sides Is there beating
heart that is moody rs ours
Glowing and happy in sunlight,
Dreamy and tender in showers?
Signing through tremulous branches
Or smiling in millions Of dowers?
Is it because ye remember
When first ty the sun ye were seen
That ye blush in the early morn,
Through the dazzling opaline sheen
That hangs DER your. face in q mist,
Like a veil on the brow Of q queen?
And when ye are wrapped in the folds
OF storm clouds a. black as the night
Are ye mourning DER griefs never told,
Locked deep In your bosom from sight?
Ie this Why the dew-drops, like tears,
Battle your feet in the morning light?
o mountainsl stand forth in your glory
Ut golden, or purple, or blue.
And show u1 your moods and changes
By constantly varying hue:
When everything earthly proves false
What a comfort to know ye are true!
Christian Union.

THE CITY TICKET.

The people of st. Paul are to be congrat.
ulated upon the excellent city ticket nom.
mated by the Democratic convention YES
terday. G. D. O'Brien. the nominee for
Mayor, is young man who has been res
ident of st. Paul from childhood. His
own growth has been part of the growth OF
the city whose chief executive officer he is
so soon to be.
Mr.. OBrien is a gentleman against whose
personal or professional character not one
word can be spoken. Substantially his en-.
tire life has been passed in our midst and
is an open book. When we state that he is
worthy representative of his father. the
late Dillon O'Brien, (than whom more
honorable m an never l1ved) we simply give
just praise. AS public prosecutor of tn
county he proved terror to evil doors
and faithful guardian of the public inter.
ests. 1t is safe to predict a similsr record
as Mayor.
Hon. w. Z. Murray was nominated fol
City Attorney, as matter of course. He
is the one man of all others for that posi-
ton and his retirement would be positive
public calamity. Fortunately no such con.
tlngency is liable to occur at present. Mr.
Murray might properly be said to be an in
tegral part of the legal organization of the
city, so closely has he been identified with
its charter and code of laws. Under his
able and watchful care the legal Interests
of st. Paul will always be fully maintained
John W. Roche, the nominee for CITY
Comptroller, has filled that position SC
faithfully and admirably that his worf
proves his highest encomium. He is sure
OF unanimous reelection. In fact it i:
quite possible that the Republican conven
ton to-day will endorse the entire ticket.
Of the minor, but still important portion
OF the ticket the GLOBE will speak in Ia
ter issue.

as newspaper essayist. After the death
of this lady, Mr.. Parton, then residing in
Massachusetts,, married his wife's daughter,
the offspring of her first marriage. After
the ceremony it was discovered that an old
law of the state forbade such marriage.
The parties went to New York, where
such legal inhibition does not exist, and
the ceremony was reperformed. In this
case public sentiment has not condoned
the disregard of the delicacy and pro-
priety that such an alliance involves, and
the parties have since suffered social os-
tracism, as well as being fugitives from
the state where their marriage contract
was first cemented.
In the other class of cases, however, the
moral sentiment of society, instead of be-
ing shocked, has quite approved the al
lance of man with his deceased wife's
sister. 1t is safe to assume that the SEN
sitiveness of society upon such matters is a
perfect safeguard, as it has no tolerance
where the suspicion of immortality is in
volved. Though the civil law in England
forbids such a marriage there, distln-
gulshed members of parliament, directed
by prevailing public opinion, are taking
steps to remove the legal prohibition and
to adopt the American civil standard.

MISS GABRIELLE GREELEY, the only sur
viVing daughter of Horace Greeley, has
commenced an amicable suit for the sale
of the celebrated Chappaqua farm, near
White Plains, N. Y. The interest of Mr..
Greeley was transferred to his wife. At
her death, by will she directed that the
farm be sold and the proceeds divided,
share and share alike between the two
daughters, and made her husband and
daughter Ida executor and executrix under
the will. Before the will was probated
Mr.. Greeley died. In 1882 Ida died, not
having sold the farm, and having in the
meantime married, leaving husband and
three children. Gabrielle, her sister, took
out letters of administration, but that
gave her no authority to sell the farm.
She has now brought suit against her sis
ter's husband and the three children for
the appointment of trustee to carry out
the provisions of her mothers will, regard
ing the sale of the real estate and the dis
tribution of the proceeds.

Sketches of the Nominees for the Leading
City Offices.
Hon. G. d. O'Brien, the nominee for
mayor on the Democratic ticket, was born
in Ireland thirty-four years ago and at the
age of four years came to this country.
He came to Minnesota in 1868 and began
the study of law with ex-Gov. Davis in May
1868. He was a most industrious as we'll
as ready student and was admitted to the
bar in Jan. 1870, passing one of the most
creditable legal examinations ever wit
messed in Ramey county. He showed such
aptitude for the profession, that within
two months after his admission to the bar
Gov. Davis, who was then U. S. district at
torney, appointed him as assistant q.
States District Attorney for Minnesota.
A year later, in March, 1871, he became a
partner with Gov. Davis, the firm being
Davis & O'Brien. In 1874, Henry A. Will
son was added to the firm, which bore the
name of Davis, O'Brien & Wilson until
1881, when the firm was separated, and
that of O'Brien & Wilson formed, which
still exists. In November, 1873, Mr..
O'Brien was elected County Attorney and
reelected two years later, holding the po-
sition for four years. 1t is no disparage-
ment to others to say that Ramsey county
never had his superior in that position.
He was married in 1871 to Miss
Slater, daughter of the late Rich
ard Slater, and enjoys one of
the happiest homes which the city affords.
His election to the Office of Mayor is sub
stantially foregone conclusion, and it is
safe to predict a continuance of his bril-.
liant record in the new position.
Hon. w. P. Murray, the nominee fol
City Attorney, is so old resident, and SO
generally known that he scarcely needs an
introduction at the hands of the GLOBE
He came to st. Paul in 1849, and has ever
since been engaged in the practice of law
in this city. He was a member of the con.
vention which framed the constitution fthe
State and has served in the Legislature
thirteen sessions. He also served in the
city council sixteen years, and for the last
seven years has been city attorney. He is
more familiar with the affairs of st. Paul

Distinguished men, Mr.. Murray is native
of Ohio, having been born in Butler county
IN 1927.
John w. Roche, Esq, the nominee fol-
City Comptroller, is also an old resident
of st. Paul. He occupied many positions
of trust in connection with banking and
mercantile houses prior to his election as
City Comptroller. In long term of ser
vice in his present position he has always
won plaudits for his fidelity to the public
interest.

M4RRIAGE LAWS

The civil law of England prohibits the
marriage Of a man with his deceased wife's
sister, but in this country there is no civil in
hlbition, though there has been recently
brought before the public case of ecclesi-
astical prohibition. Several years ago the
Rev. Mr.. Mcqueen, a clergyman of good
standing in the synod of North Carolina,
married his deceased wife's sister. His
presbytery brough him under discipline
and decided the case against him and he
was disbarred from the pulpit. He ap-
pealed to the general assembly, but
that body sustained the presbytery.
That decision produced much dis
satisfaction, and the case has been contin-
ually agitated since. Finally the question
reached the New Orleans Presbyterian
synod of the Mississippi Presbyterian
church at its session which was concluded
last Wednesday, the matter being sent
down from the General Assembly for &C.
ton. The subject was considered by a
committee composed of Rev. DR.. II. M.
Smith, Rev. DR.. Palmer, Hon. 81. N. Ogden
and others. The report of the committee
set forth that the marriage of a man with
the sister of his deceased wife was not for
hidden by divine law, that blood relation
ship continued, but marriage affinity lasted
only during life. The report of the COM
mittee called out an exhaustive and inter
esting discussion and at its conclusion the
report of the committee was adopted with
only one dissenting vote. The decision
thus rendered will remove from Rev. Mr..
Mcqueen the ban of censure under which
he has SO long rested. 1t may now be
concluded that the ecclesiastical law under
which the case arose goes hand-in hand
with the civil law, an attitude which public
opinion amply sanctions.
A few years ago ii may be remembered. Mr..
James Parton became the husband for her
third marriage OF the lady best known to the
public as Fanny Fern, who after the de-
cease of her first husband and her divorce
from her second husband, and before her
third marriage acquired considerable fame

Il BRUTAL MURDER md ITS 4POIf,-


Claim jumping murders are becoming
alarmingly frequent in the northwest.
Scarcely week is permitted to elapse
without the record of some deed of violence
perpetrated by those who are trying to
jump land claims or are defending the
lands they have settled upon and which
others are trying to jump. Perhaps the
most dastardly, and unprovoked of all these
murders is that of the Ward brothers. who
were killed near Creel City by unknown
parties, presumably in the employ of
Lieut. Creel, the founder of the alleged city
on the shores of DEVILS Lake. This
Lieut.. Creel is great man, at least in
his own estimation. At any rate he has sue
ceeded IN inaugurating a reign of terror in
the vicinity in which his town is located.
and his wish is apparently law to the law
less gang by whom he is surrounded. This
man made a confession to the Pioneer Press
yesterday in the form of an interview de-
signed to excuse the murder of the Wards.
which stamps him as an unprincipIed free
booter whose proper place is in the peni-
Tertiary. He says he liked the boys, and
out of friendship for them gave them go
acres of land in the TOWNSHIP of CreeIs-
burg. Now Creel has no more title to the
townsite of Creelsburg than the man in the
moon, and could not give the Ward boys or
any one else square inch Of ground. He
is simply claim jumper upon the public
domain.
1t Furthermore appears that the
Citizens Protective Association which
is charged with the murders, is simply a
gang of Creers employees, who do his bid
ding with alacrity on all occasions, and
are paid by him for pirating the public
domain.
There is, unhappily, but little prospect
that the murderers of the Wards will be
brought to justice in community of law
breakers ruled by man who publicly
apologies for murder. Yet it would be
gratifying if the wretches who regard
human life SO slightly could receive the
justice they so richly deserve.

THE "G1oBEv and THE PRINTERS

THE "GLOBE'' IND THE PRINTERS
As some of the papers have given incor.
rect statements of the difficulty between
the GLOBE and portion of the printers
formerly employed in this Office a brief
statement is due. There is no question as
to the price paid for composition. The
GLOBE pays 40 cents per 1000 ems, which
is cents higher than any other Office in
the state pays and 5 cents higher than
most of them.
A few days ago the compositors asked
the publishers of the GLOBE to require the
men who set the markets to pay bonus of
80 cents each per night to the other print
ers in the Office and the men who set the
advertising to give one-half of all they
may set beyond 10000 ems in one day to
the others who might happen to work on
the day the excess occurred. These
demands would not directly cost
the GLOBE anything except as it
might lead to Indifferent work, but they
were denied as matter of principle. The
GLOBE management replied that each and
every printer was at liberty, so far as it
was concerned, to give away any or all his
earnings, or to throw them in the river.
or make any other disposition they
might please of them, but no
man in the employ of this COM
pany would ever be dictated to by the
company as to the disposition he should
make of his money. This is too free
country for employers to compel employ
es to give away or otherwise dispose of
their earnings against their will. AS the
result of this stand against communism
the larger portion of the GLOBE compost
tors left their cases.

War on the Chfcaoo Boord.

CHICAGO, April 25.-The agents of the
principal steamboat lines plying between
this city, Buffalo and Erie, have joined
hands with the railroad companies in
making war against the Chicago board OF
trade, and it is asserted they will not again
appear on the floor until the pending dis
pute between the board and the roads is
settled. 1t was expected that members
would make shipments by water in order
to bring the roads to terms, but as the
principal lines Of steamers are owned by
railway companies they are subject to the
latter's control. The action of the agents
is stated to be by order of the railway
managers. This action naturally does
not include sailing vessels and few indie.
