Fifteen Prisoners Escape from the Penf-
Eentisry-The Authorities Want the News
Withheld.
At late hour last night the GLOBE re.
ceived the following from its Saltwater
correspondent:
Special 10 the Globe.
SALTWATER, Oct. 15.-Fifteen prisoners are
reported missing from the peniteutiary this
evening. A double guard has been placed upon
the walls.
This was followed by later report as
follows:
Especial to the Globe.
sTILLwATER, Oct. Is. The report lie not as
stated. Warden Reed desires it withheld until
tomorrow when all the particulars Will be
given.
Both Geographic and telephone com
munication seemed to be closed when
the above intelligence reached the GLOBE,
perhaps by the order of Warden Reed.
The state prison authorities are evidently
impressed with the idea that their pris-
oners are somnambulists, and havee scaped
without knowing it themselves. Hence
they propose the brilliant strategy of sup
pressing the news. If the reported escape
is true, the soonsr it is announced, with
all particulars, the more likely are the con-
victs to be recaptured. The attempted
suppression ID unwise and foolish.

and comprehensively states the logic of
the conduct of the Republican party of
Ohio upon this subject that we reproduce
below what it says, commencing it to the
thoughtful reading of all men, Democrats,
Republicans, and Prohibitionists. There
is food for salutary reflection for them
all:
A great election has lust been decided in a
great state. The Republicans have been ex-
hausting their utmost resources in an effort to
retain state which for twenty-eight years has
given them almost uninterrupted majorltles va
rying from 5000 to 100000.
Years ago they appealed to Ohio, the home of
Joshua Reed Giddings, on the broad platform
of freedom for the slave. They stood forward
as the champions of human rights and the prln-
ciple5 of universal liberty and equality; as the
foes of oppression and tyranny in every form;
as the defenders of the union against the as
saults of the slave power. Their appeal rang
over the broad fields and along the beautiful
valleys, and the hearts of the people went out to
them.
Yesterday the Republicans appealed to Ohio
on the narrow platform of prohibition or semi
prohibition. Their principles have dwlndled
down to a purely local question of how the
liquor traffic shall be regulated. They stand
forward as the allies of fanatics who desire to
brand as criminal every man whe distils liquor
or brews beer and every man who insists on his
right to drink what he pleases.
To this complexion all the distinctive pr1nc1-
pies of the grand old party have come. There
are no slaves to enfranchise, no states torecon-
struct, no hard money to uphold, no specie pay
ment to bring about. So the Republicans de
sire to abolish freedom of action, to reconstruct
mems morals according to their own standard
and to say what they shall do with their m sney,
what they shall drink and how they shall amuse
themselves.
The old cries of Republicanism have lost their
poetry 1t lives now only TO toady to wealth,
to ape aristOcracy, to favor corporations, to de-
spise the common people, to covet money and
to aspire 70 oligarchical power. The party still
has voting strength with the aid of assess
1nents and contributions. But it is reaching
the end. When the temperance issue fails it
where can it look for another? The result is
great Republican deteat. If the "Grand Old
Party'' has to fight SO desperately for existence
in such state as Ohio its doom is sealed.

s4HED OFF THE LIMB.

The proposed Prohibition amendment
to the constitution of Ohio was defeated.
AS is we'll understood the state constitu-
ticn, now more thsn thirty years old, for
bids both license and prohibition. Two
years ago the Republican party pledged
itself to secure from the Legislature which
it controlled, the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment removing the existing
inhibition, leaving the whole subject to the
legislature, which might, as it saw fit, pro-
vide for either license or prohibition.
This pledge was written by John Sherman
and adopted by a state convention of
which he was the presiding officer. Instead
of keeping its pledge, made to al the peo-
pie of the state, the Republican legislature
allowed year to pass without taking &C.
ton. Last spring the legislature prepared
for submission two amendments, the first
permitting license, the second requiring
prohibition pure and simple. This treat
ment OF the subject by the legislature was
both cowardly and dishonest. What fol-
lowed? The first amendment was largely
denounced, and where not denounced, was
ignored, and effort made to adopt the sec.
ond-the neutrality-suspicious..
campaign was mapped out for prohibition
The preachers deserted their pulpits tc
stump for it. The Prohibition men and
women spent themselves to carry the
point. They failed. The Philadelphia
Times very tersely states the reason:
The Ohio Prohib;tionist seems to have sawed
off the limb on which he was sitting. 1t is not
particularly surprising.
Had the proposition to strike out from
the constitution the anti-license, anti pro
hibition clause been submitted, without
question it would have prevailed. The
honor of the Republican party wa
pledged by its highest authority to do tina
thing. The pledge was violated. TIL
hands OF tenn perance reform have beer
turned back fifty years by Republican
cowardice and dishonesty. For thirt.

The fashion of carrying pistols is be-

of New York man toward lady whom

The United States supreme court yester-
day decided that the civil rights law, en-
acted in 1875, is illegal and therefore void.
The law was partisan measure, designed
t bolster up partisan cause, and like all
such measures could not bear Judicial
scrutiny. Just as soon as such laws as this
and the enforcement law, passed under
stress of party necessity, are adjudicated
by impartial jurists, they are promptly
annulled. The result of the decision
should convey lesson to the Democratic
party, now about to step into power, to
sors have fallen, aud not endeavor to per-
petuate their power by resort to meus-
ures not sanctioned by the constitution.

BULL RUN BATTLE FIELD.

A number of survivors of the first and second

field, with the idea of refreshing their old COM
rades in regard to the positions of the different
commands during the engagement and to aid

where they took vehicles and spent this after
noon IN visiting points of interest The first
stop was made at Groveton, where the second
battle of Bull Run began Aug. %. 1852. and
| Gov. Fairchild gave short description of the
engagement, which he said he could not re-
| member with distinctness owing to the lapse of
| time and to the fact that he was somewhat
! frightened when it occurred. His
remarks were dryly witty and caused
much nirth. The position of Dudley's com
mand was identified by IN ancient chicken coon.
and this incident also caused hearty laugn.
Major Thornton then gave description of the
first days battle from the confederate stand
point. He said Hayes brigade, composed of
| but four regiments, was the only confederate
force opposed to the Union troops on the even
ing of Aug ust 2S, 'G2. Gov Fairchild states
that 60O out OF 1900 Union troops engaged were

curtain went up for the first time on the
parterre of beauty and loneliness. At
once, Col. J. II. Davidson advanced
to the front of the stage
and delivered the following eloquent Gedi-
catory address:
Citizens of st. Paul: Commodore Da-
wilson has delegated to me the pleasant
privilege of saying few words on his be-
half appropriate to this occasion. Ny re-
marks will necessarily be brief, as 'there is
music in the air.
Tonight he Epresents this beautiful tenn
pie to you and formally dedicates it to
music and the drama. 1t is poem which
needs no stammering tongue to give it

glance. When you have comprehended all
it's harmony of design, its blending of col
ors, its convenience of ingress and egress,
its symmetrical proportions, its solidity
and safety, its coziness and comfort, and
the completeness of all its parts, he hopes
you will be pleased with it and will accept
| it as token of his good will. He has
built this Opera house not for himself, not
for his own qualification. but for you and
| for your qualification.
This community for long time clam
ored for new theater commensurate
| with the growth and development Of the
queen city, the commercial center, the
metropolis of the new northwest. Nothing
stood in the way of score of wealthy citi-
zens combining together and supplying
the demand except apathy and indifer-
ence. He recognized the fact (as we ell
did, years ago that such house ought to
be built. Having himself borne the bur-
den, through long years Of financial de-
preston, of maintaining the old house,
some years at considerable pecuniary sac
rifce, ne waited hoping that public spirit
would come to the rescue and that younger
and ADLER men would inaugurate this great
undertaking, which ought to have been of
public rather than private enterprise. They
did not come to the front and SO at last he
reluctantly undertook the great enterprise
himself. 1t has been carried through and

Objections to MARRIAGE.

In ouropinion, girls are just as willing
to give up their extravagance in dress as
young men are-that is, when it is
nessary so to do. To the fact that men are
so unwilling to relinquish their pet vices
and luxuries is to be ascribed much of
the falling off of matrimony. Marriage
without adequate means of support is a
blunder that is almost a crime; but no
girl made of ordinary stuff will hesitate
to share the trials and sacrifices of the
man she loves, provided he has that
competence, however modest The
thousands of happy, smiling homes,
where true love constantly abides, in
spite of the senderness of the family
income, sufficiently attest the readiness
of the average women to surrender the
baubles of wealth and fashion in order
to become devoted wife and mother.
If the opposite sex were uniformly ami
mated by similar spirit, we venture
to assert that the number Of maids and
bachelors would rapidly diminish. The
truth is, there is too much love of dress
and pretentious display in both sexes
and women should not bear the blame
alone
