The CnncefE.

The benefit concert given last evening
by Seibert's orchestra at Turner hall was a
a splendid one, and very suitable closing
up of grand season. These concerts have
been well patronized all winter, by Ameri-
cans, as well as by Germans, and the grade
of music furnished has been better, both
In quality and rendition, than ever before.
The orchestra has been larger, more talent
has been called into requisition, and this
has enabled Mr.. Seibert to attempt more
elaborate works than ever before. This
Is, however, mere earnest
of what may be expected
in the future. When the concerts are rem
dered as they will be next fall, still further
improvements and additions will be made.
This Is the very purpose and object of
them.
The programme last night was grand
one, and nearly all the selections were
loudly applauded, the leading and princi-
pal one being the piano concerto by Miss
Geist, with orchestral accompani-
ment. This is an elaborate and
difficult composition by Mendelssohn
and received very scholarly
careful, anu intelligent Interpretation, by
this lady. All parts of it, especially the
rapid runs, were brought out with remark.
able distinctness, and in a manner to show
that an artist of the first order was engaged
in setting forth the musical ideas of the
great German composer. Miss Geist has
recently come to ST. Paul, and has beer
best known as cello artist, but last even
ing she showed that she was quite as &C
complished on the piano. This lady
has recently opened conservatory
of music on Third street, above
the Metropolitan, in the rooms formerly
occupied by Prof Menner, and will withou

pared to respond, as the concert is long
but after little delay she repeated the las

gave pleasant vocal solo and was en-

ever given in that hall was the violin duet
by Mr.. Muehlenbruch and Mr.. Stevenin
with orchestral Accomplishments. Mr.
Holdt furnished very pleasing cello solo
which was encored. The orchestral work
throughout, and there was good deal Of

The following card indicates what the
GLOBE of yesterday foreshadowed, that
there will be no serious contention for al
derman in the Second precinct OF the
First ward:
ST. PAUL, April 81, 1888
To my friends in the First ward, Second pre-
cinct, that insist upon my being a candidate for
alderman, desire to say thank them for their
kind wishes, but must respectfully decline for
the reason that am going to start business for
my own account, and 1 want to devote all my
time to it. Also for the reason that it is a very
close ward and 1 do not want to create any dis
sension in the Democratic party. Respectfully,
WIN. MCTEAGUE.
This straightforward and manly card of
MIR. McTeague effectually ends whatever
opposition existed to Aid. Dowlan's return
in his own party, and it would not be sur
prising if he had no Republican opponent
at the polls.

SENATOR HARRISON and Judge Gresham,
of Indiana, have been bad friends for a
long time. When the judge was asked by
his friend Col. Foster if he would accept
the postmaster generalship, he telegraphed
his consent as follows: 'Will accept tie
position, but suggest that the official mott
ication of my appointment be sent me
through Senator Harrison To oblige the
president, Harrison telegraphed Gresham
that his commission had been made out
Thus Gresham humbled his rival, and
Harrison is now more bitter against him
than before, and their relations will con-
time of the most superficial character
Gresham's relations with the public men
OF Indiana of the Republican persuasion
are no more cordial than the attitude be-
tween himself and Harrison. Foster, who
has been banished to Spain, and who is
reported to have more influence with
Arthur than all the rest of Indiana, is the
only friend of consequence that the p. M
G. can rely on. Every day develops the
weakness of Gresham's appointment from
the political standpoint on the Republican
side, and in making it Arthur perpetrated
a blunder of the first class. In so far as il
may strengthen the Democracy, it will
however, prove beneficial to the country.

AFTER submitting two constitutional
amendments, one for prohibition, and one
leaving the liquor traffic subject to legis-
lative control, the Ohio legislature has
passed what is called the Scott law, DIR.
Scott, of Warren being its author. This
law provides for tax (icense) of 5000
where spirituous liquors are sold, and 500
where wine and beer only are sold, and re-
peals in the cities of the first class the
Smith Sunday law. The legislature passed
similar law year ago, which the Su-
preme Court decided unconstitutional on
the ground that the Constitution forbids
license in any form, and the use of the
word "tax" was held to be mere evasion
of the constitutional inhibition. A special
from the State capital says that it is the
opinion of the best legal minds of the gen.
eral assembly that the Scott law does not
seem counter to any constitutional inhibi-
ton. 1t is also said Gov. Foster comedies
with the view taken by the members of the
Legislature. All this, read between the
lines, means that during the year the resig-
nation Of Judge Longworth and the death
of Judge White has enabled the governor
to pack the court with the judges, who
will take different view of the constitu-
ton and find way to pronounce license
(tax) law constitutional. The passage of
the Scott law of course destroys all posi-
bility of the adoption of constitutional
amendment, as its author, no doubt, in
tended. The two-thirds Republican ma
iority of the legislature have made a fine
middle of the whole subject.

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.

The decision of the supreme court OF
Iowa touching the prohibitory amendment
othe constitution of that stateIadopted
presumably adopted-at the last general
election, settles for the time being, and
probably for many years, the whole ques-
ton of prohibition in Iowa. Even since
Its organization the state has had a law
practically similar to the Maine law, which
prohibited the sale of alcoholic stimulants
except at wholesale. It was of no bind
ing effect, save in the smaller towns where
the "the moral sense" of the community
was opposed to liquor-selling. In all the
cities Of the state it was easy enough to
purchase whisky Shy the quantity" drink
what was wanted, and return the remainder
to the saloon-keeper, paying only for the
proportion of the quantity" consumed.
The attempt to enforce absolute absti-
hence was step too far. At the election
upon which the question was decided the
liquor interest manifested but little con-
Germ, as they did not regard the PROPOSE
ton as at all likely to carry. But they
reckoned without their host. The pro-
hibitionists were out in force, and carried
the day. Had it not been for the kindly
interference of the supreme court the
liquor dealers would have found their occu
patton gone. Another time they will no
doubt see to it that their cause is not i'm
perillei through their own inertia.

of the stones that fell lodged
on the big sign, where they now remain.
Fortunately no one happened to be on the
sidewalk where the stones fell, and conse-
quently no one was injured. Had they
fallen on week day when the street was
crowded, as it usually is, some one would
in all probability have been killed. The
work of removing all projecting stones
should be continued till all danger in this
respect has been removed.

SPEAKING of the Ohio Scott liquor license
law, the Chicago Tribune says editorially
''Gov. Fostor approves of the law and will
sign it." The Tribune needs to be in
formed that the governor of Ohio does not
'sign'' the laws passed by the Legislature.
In his capacity as citizen he may approve
or otherwise, but officially he has no voice.
He signs commissions for justices of the
peace, and when he has performed that
duty he can go fishing the balance OF the
wear.

AMONG the floating gossip Of the day
comes the story that Dorsey and Brady
intend to sue the New York Times for
100000 for malicious libel. The Times
had special grievance against Dorsey
which takes off the flavor of purity in its
harsh assaults upon him in connection
with the star route matters. In the cam
paign Of 1880 Dorsey ordered many
thousand copies of the New York Tribune
for general circulation, and Indiana was
flooded with that publication. Not COPY
of the Times was ordered or paid for by
Dorsey's committee. This sent the iron
into the soul of the publisher of the Times.
Garfield, Arthur, Jewell and some others
agreed that the Times should be thus
ignored, and Dorsey merely carried out
their views. The venal journal chose to
pass these men by with cold
contempt and made Dorsey the
object of its particular wrath.
intending to strike at Garfield if he did
ANYTHING to prevent an examination into
the charged star route crookedness. From
this beginning, of itself corrupt and venal,
has come the whole nauseous spectacle of
the star route trials. If the Times had
been recognized Or subsidized by the Re-
publican committee it would have been
dumb as to the accusations it has brought
against Dorsey and Brady. Whether these
two men will ever prosecute the Times is
doubtful, but that paper is entitled to no
measure of public confdenca or rasDao+
for single word it has said from the be-
ginning to the ending of the star route
cases.
