The Pioneer Press is evidently appre-
hensive that G. D. O'Brien will be the next
mayor of st. Paul and seeks to injure him
by mplimentary allusion to his candi-
dacy. Mr.. O'Brien is making an active and
vigorous canvass for the Democratic NOM
ination, as it is his right and privilege to
do, and he should not be
handicapped by assumed friendliness in
that quarter-such assumption being
purely malicious-the p. P. having learned
from experience that its opposition is to
be courted and its support Stunned. Thus
far the only other avowed candidate is Col
Allen, president of the council. Col Allen
is absent from the city, and is making no
personal effort. In fact, he has distinctly
announced that he is in the hands of his
friends, and while he will not work fol-
delegates to the convention he will accept a
nomination if rendered him. Other names
are mentioned, among them VIM. Dawson
Geo. L. Becker, P. r. L. Hardenburg, P. H
Kelly, Robert A. Smith, John Grace, VIM
Lee, and @. E. Flandrau, though we are
not advised that any of them would &C
cept. It is evident that there is no lack of
material for good mayor, and the con-
vention on the 25th will have no trouble
in naming the coming man.

4 PUBLIC CALAMITY.

In the death of Leonard B. Hodges the
city and the state suffer loss which it
will be difficult to replace. He was not an
ostentatious or conspicuous man in
public affairs, but he was a man who has
made the world vastly better for his hav-
ing been in it. Of his religious tenets
we know nothing but that he was certainly a
most practical christian. He was the soul of
honor in all business transaction, and
when like thousands he met with reverses
owing to the failure of crops and his eff
forts to help others, he declined all prof
fered compromises and manfully proceed
ed to settle with every creditor, principal
and interest. No man lives who can say he
was ever wronged farthing by Mr. Hodges.
On the contrary there are thousands who
cherish tender recollections of his open
hearted kindness and generosity. The
knowledge that a human being was in dis
tress was a sufficient appeal to reach Mr..
Hodges heart. His life was
practically given to the public
and the pioneers, especially of Minnesota
and Dakota,have every reason to bless his
memory. He engaged in the work of tree
planting, not as source of profit but as a
public duty and the work of the last years
of his life has forever demonstrated the
practicaoility of forest culture. Modest
and retiring in his disposition, the world
at large knew comparatively little of the
great good of his life work, but the multi
titude with whom he came in personal con-
tact will carry with them through
life, love, esteem and gratitude
for Leonard B. Hodges. We
stand by his open grave lamenting that
his life mission has ended, but thankful
that so good and noble man was permit
ted by precept and example to demons

And departing, leave behind US

THE BOON IN MANIrOBA STOCK.

It appears that the books do not close in
the st. Paul and Manitoba stock deal until
next Friday, the Goth, and hence those who
desire to secure the bond privilege" still
have an opportunity to do so. A New
York paper of Friday thus explains the
deal:
The directors of the St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway company, at their meeting
to-day, decided to give the stockholders of rec
ord on May the privilege of acquiring CONSOLE
dated mortgage per cent. fifty year gold bonds
OF the company, OF a new issue, to the amount
of so per cent. of their holdings at the price of
10 per cent. of the par value thereof, payable
May L, when scrip receipts viii be issued ex-
changeable on and after July for the bonds.
This course was determined upon with the view
of ''reimbursing to and dividing among the
stockholders the cost and value to the extent of
S9,OOO,OOO of large and valuable properties and
lines of railway recently acquired by the COM
pany and not covered by existing mortgages,
and of extensive Improvements and additions to
its other properties The usual quarterly div
ldend of per cent. was also declared, payable
in cash on May L. The transfer books will be
closed on the Goth inst, and reopened May 5.

to advance the candidacy of Senator Har-
rison of his state. Nothing could have
been more foolish than this conclusion. If
Senator Ben. was ever in danger of Presi-
Dental lightning he was Immediately re-
moved to a place of safety the moment
Gresham's name was officially mentioned.
The inside fact is that the gift of a cabinet
place to Indiana has inhamed the fractional
jealousy among the great men of the state.
and Harrison, New, Dudley, Gov. Porter,
and others, gentlemen who have fought
the battles of the Republican party, and
sat at the fountain of power, and Jared
sumptuously upon the spoils, realize that
their eminence has been shattered, and
they do not relish their future allotment
of crumbs which will fall to them from the
rich mans table of power. The machinery
is badly deranged by Arthur's choice for
his cabinet vacancy, and the prospect of
Republican ability to carry Indiana in
1884 immensely diminished.
1t is also weakly claimed that Gresham is
representative Western man, and some
importance is placed upon this feature OF
his local habitation, but to old politicians
it is the merest froth. Turn the man
around and over, look at him on all sides
and from all sorts of stand points, he has
just one virtue-he is a new man. Itmay
transpire that the war of factions and dis
cord within the Republican party may
for time impart to him the glamour
of availability, but should he
in the whirligig and ups and downs pro
ceeding from this condition be accorded
the nomination it will be developed thai
he does not possess the elements of force
and popularity to make a vigorous, win
ming campaign. He is identified with g
faction of the Republican party, and there
is no healing balm in him. If the Re
publicans desire to fold their tents and
lay down their arms, Gresham is theil
man. Of fame he has none, and his name
will not inspire the courage and hope
without which the battle is sure to be lost
From the desperation of the last ditcf
comes the suggestion of the provincial
son of Indiana for presidential honors.

hlllng professional engagements at Troy
and Albany, only casual visitor to her
husbands home upon the Hudson.
Strange and eventful as his career has
been, George Hoffman, broken in spirit,
and with the lingering disease gnawing at
his life, was suddenly stricken with para
lysls, and on Jan. 20, 1873, he died at Hyde
park, alone, except attended by the SER
wants, and before any of his family could
reachlhim.
The story OF his marriage had been al
ready told by him to those at the village
hotel, where he had at times resided while
his fathers house had been closed, and the
young wife reached her husbands bedside
but few moments after his death, and be-
fore his mother reached the deathbed of
her son.
The scene between the widow and the
mother was one over which careless eyes
may well draw the veil of sanctity. Mrs.
Holman, sending for the mourner by her
sons corpse, asked the simple question:
"Are you Georges wife?" The reply
came simply, in another question:
Are you Georges mother?" and when
the answer was given, trembling, and with
mothers tears, the newly found daughter
was acknowledged.
The heart history of the dead son came
slowly to the mothers heart, and it was
received with kindness. There was not
word of reproach, of censure. nor sem
blance of doubt.
After the death of George and the
funeral from his fathers residence. in
Fifth avenue, the widow resided for some
months with her husbands parents. and
only left the mansion to occupy the house
of fried, in an adjacent street, during
the absence of the owner in Europe. Dur
ing last summer she resided at Hyde park
with her sister-in-law, Mr.. Hofman's
daughter, with whom, as with all of her
late husbands family, she was favorite
as an "angel of goodness" as her mother
in-law expresses it, in the family.
Welded to her profession, and still en-
ioying her great popularity as danseuse,
at her own desire, Mrs. Hotfmen's late en-
gagement in New York, and her present
one in st. Paul have brought her again be-
fore the public as a dancer.
It is due alike to Mile. Bonfanti. and to
those with whom she is connected, to state
that, in Withholding the acknowledgment
OF her marriage with George j. Hoffman
| until after his death she acted in obedience
to her husbands wishes, and the best test
OF her purity of mind and purpose and the
secret OF her romantic marriage and its
| result are shown in her avowal made to
Mrs. Hoffman on the day of her sons
funeral: II loved George as 1 loved my
life; he was true to me, and had learned
| that his mother and father would not have
acknowledged me, the secret of my mar
rage should have died when poor George

In view of the probable election of
Samuel j. Tilden to the presidency in 1884,
it would be we'll to consider whether there
would be any objection to his reelection
in 1888 on the ground of the 'third term.''
The Democracy are on record in opposi-
ton to the "third term" but while 1885
would be Mr.. Tilden's third election it
would scarcely be called his
''third terna," as a man by the name of
Hayes acted as president during
the period for which Mr.. Tilden was first
chosen. Ii will therefore be eminently
safe, as well as retributive justice, to give
Mr.. Tilden second election in 1884, and
if he serves as satisfactorily as there is
every reason to believe he will, there is not
likely to be any serious objection to his
third endorsement in 1888.

MINNIE HAUK Is an accomplished artistic. She
is also an accomplished kicker. Not after the
fashion of Solderre, Oates and Minnie Palmer
but right down, eighteen karet kicking, of the
protesting type. When Minnie condsscended
to appear at Minneapolis and st. Paul, it was
under contract which provided that she was to
sing twice in each city. A supplementary con-
tract was entered into between herself and the
st. Paul management for her appearance at the
matinee last Saturday afternoon. In considera-
ton of this she was to received stipulated
amount, and was paid that amount. But nc
sooner had her percentage of the proceeds of the
performance been delivered than she
began to 'skick' in manner that
was dangerous to all who came
within sound of her voice. This was precipita-
ted by refusal of the management to pay her
$3.50 In addition to what she had contracted to
appear for and received. When the refusal
was communicated to Minnie, she made her
apartments at the Merchants one scene
of rude commotion. Her voeiferous decla-
nations were addressed against the
city, the public, the management, and her
agent, particularly the latter. He is a man of
diminutive proportion and limited muscle, and
is known to be SO completely under her control
as TO preclude all possible hope of resistance or
escape. He was accordingly compelled to SUBJ
NIT to the trying ordeal of lecture, at the cen
clusion of which he was left in frame of mind
simply desperate, and otherwise deplorable. In
a condition in short, in comparison with which
ship without sail, shirt without the usual ex-
tensions are blessings. This is not the first
time Minnie has erected row during her pro-
fessional career. In Chicago, four years ago, a
dressing room into which Marie Roze uncon-
sciously strayed, provoked ruction, and at DIFF
ferent times and places since she has demon
strated her waspishness. 1t may be all right,
and doubtless is as far she is concerned, but
Minnie viii come to a clear convic-
ton of the fact, that Others can and will kick,
and that, too, with force that will prove ire
sistible.
