y CHRISTM AS Dirty.

Come now TO my arms, little one,
It's time to jump out of your clothes
And little white wrapper slip on
From out which peeps roguish pink toes.
The rattle the blocks, and the toys
Must be gathered and all laid aside,
And down by the freight We'll sit,
And to Banbury Cross he shall ride.
He shall hear Of the wonderful Shoe
Where dwet the old woman of yore
With children all sizes--so wild
They puzzled her wits more and more;
Ofthe Mousie that ran up the clock,
The Cow that Jumped over the Moon,
OF the market where went the fat pig,
And pig fourth of roast meat got none.
He shall hear of the queer little Boy
Who lived all alone by himself,
Who laid up his bread, and his cheese
Away from the Rats. on the shelf;
OF that idle, that good for naught lad,
Who lay meath the hay-stack asleep
And let the Cows brcal, down the c, m,
While over the wall, jumped the sheep.
Mamma'll tell of Dame Hubbard's Dog
Busy Trot-of the soft, cunning Kittens
Whose mother allowed them to walk
Abroad. in their hoods and red mittens.
Does he know that the good Santa eau:
This very cold night is a coming
To look for the dearest of boys,
An surprise, it may be, with DrumGng).
Freddie's window, to clasp, we'll forget
For Santa's not used to unlocking
How can he, with arms full of toys9
But where shall | hang the red stocking?
All here is nice little hook
In the corner alone, and quite handy
kriss Kringle, the Santa will look
And stuff with his Nuts and his Candy.
Well darling, SO wistlul and earnest
Your eyes meet my own while you listen
Well let the fresh morning unravel
The charm, to make eyes brighter glisten.
Tell papa, dear papa, good night,
And frolicsome little brother,
Goodnight to "busy bee Grace,
And one more goodnight to mother.
Goodnight to Miss. Tabby and Frisk
To Dandy in bright yellow jacket.
He's hoped up aloft on his perch.
Why who will there be for a racket?
Adown in his nest goes Fredie
To romp with the witching fairies
In Dreamland's wonderful world
Where his innermost self now tarries.

Now, did Mr.. Pillsbury do this? Oh. no:
that is not claimed. Nor did he even enter
a verbal protest to the chamber of commerce
when the report was submitted for their con-
sideration. That was the place in which
Mr.. Pillsbury could have made his alleged
sympathy for honest labor heard and felt. Now
what did he do! Why, he told some one s'all on
the quiet,'' so it is alleged, that he would be
willing to pay his proportion of the loss be-
tween honest labor and Joliet prison work to
have it done here. 1t is said he did this
after he was waited upon by committee of
stonecutters, who protested against the award,
and whom he told ''it is too late now.'' The
time for Mr.. PiIsbury's sympathy for the
honest laboring man of our own city should
have been made manifest in the chamber of
commerce when the report of
honest and fair-minded laborer of
Minneapolis can read the report of the in
.vestigating committee and come to any con-
clusion other than it was a fiimsy, white
washing affair, founded upon unreliable
hear-sav evidence of what Mr.. Pillsbury said
in a private way to somebody. He could
have made telling speech or protest, or
minority report, when the convicts were
given the work, and the fact remains that he
did neither. If he were mayor and such an
issue should arise, would he tell the BOYS it
was too late? This convict labor business
will not stand whitewash-Neacs Letter.

BY the gracious act of Mr. Michael Lyons
in Withdrawing his candidacy for alderman
of the First ward upon the Democratic ticket
in favor of the present incumbent, John T.
Lee, who is a candidate for reelection, there
is no question but Mr. Lee will retain his
seat in the council where he has been a
faithful and efficient representative and al
ways on the right side with his vote upon
every measure under consideration. 1t is
superior in the council as he had
had sufficient experience as q councilman in
eastern cities before he took up his residence
here, and while here he has kept so thorough
ly acquainted with public affairs that he is
competent to act intelligently upon all mat
tiers conducive to the public welfare and act
fearlessly and Independently in opposing
any measure detrimental to the interests of
his constituents or the city in general.
The GLOBE has watched his career in the
city council and is happy to say that he has
always acted faithfully and conscien-
tiously to the best interests of the city
and has been always true to the trust reposed
in him by his constituents. The voters of
the First ward will show their recognition of
his past services by giving him an over
publican competitor. No better man can be
elected than John T. Lee, and his adversaries
cannot say one word in disparagement of
his merits either as a man, as a citizen or as
an alderman.

School Exhibits.

The committee on Minnesota exhibits for

yesterday al. the Nicollet house and outlined
a circular of exhibits which will be hereafter
published. The committee resolved upon
erecting temporary building at Madison
for the display of specimens from the hands
of Minnesota pupils and it is hoped
the friends of education in this
state, and especially in St. Paul and Mime
apolis, will contribute generously in aid OF
erecting a building sufficiently creditable
to the ''North Star State,'' which, though
young in years, has already made proud
record in education, not inferior to that of
older and more favored states

THE Democrats of the Third ward owe
Daniel Watt deep debt Of gratitude for
Withdrawing as a candidate for reelection,
in favor Of William McArdle, the Democratic
nominee, who was fairly and squarely nomi-
mated at the caucus, despite the unjust ale
cations of the p p. in reference to the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. McArdle, and the lying and
contemplate rumOrs set afOat by so-called
Democrats to injure him with the
voters Of the Third ward, together with
the influence brought to bear on Aid.
Watt to remain in the field to defeat McArdle
and thereby elect the Republican candidate,
the whole-souIed Democrat, Aid. Watt, in
order to promote harmony in the Democratic
ranks and to defeat the Vaccinations of the
enemy graciously withdrew from the contest.
This magnanimous act will not be forgotten,
and none viii appreciate it more highly than
Mr. McArdle for it has given complete
refutation to the slanGerOuS charge uttered
against him by the Republican and ille8ti-
mate Democrats. Everyone who attended
the caucus in the Third ward heard
Mr. McArdle say that he wanted no aid from
illegal voters nonresident in the ward; that
he besought all present to act squarely and
honorably and thus give the Republican fault
finders no cause for complaint regarding the
result of their voting. The writer was pres
ent and cheerfully accords Mr.. McArdle
credit for his honorable conduct on the oc-
casion. AS regards Mr.. McArdle's fitness for
alderman there is no doubt of
his competency. His political opponents ad-
nit the fact. He has been an old resi-
dent OF the ward and is a popular
citizen with all classes in the
community but especially with those in his
own ward who know him best. By electing
him on Monday his constituents will not
have cause for regret He is capable of rep
resenting them with ability and his ser
vices will be devoted with fidelity to the in
terests of the Third ward and the city at
large. He is gentleman of unlimited pri-
vatc character against whom no man can
truthfully speak a derogatory word. He is
well versed in municipal affairs, possesses
more than ordinary natural abilities and has
an excellent education, being a proficient in
other languages besides English. Take him
all in all he is the peer of any man who asks
the suffrages Of his fellow citizens on
Tuesday.

Pills6ury and Concict. Labor.

When it was announced that committee
had been selected to investigate Mr.. Pills
bury's responsibility with the prison LABOR
contract of the chamber of commerce, it was
hoped that the public would be given the
facts; but in this respect there has been gen
eral Disappointment. This is the case, and
we deny honest, Straightforward contradic-
ton. Mr.. Pillsbury was chairman of the COM
mittee that reported upon the bids and re-
commended the award to convict labor. He
is president of our city council, and ought to
know that if there is but one report from
a committee it is accepted by the body to whom
they report that it is an unanimous re-
port. If there is a member of that commit
tee who does not coincide with the report, it
is his privilege and duty to prepare and sub
NIT minority report, even though he be
the chairman of the committee. A school

him on this question. He considered $500
a fair compromise, and would so vote with

Republicans ArreStinO Republicans for
Fraudulent Re0iStrdtiol-- HAaf Mayor
ADtes Says.
One or more arrests have been made this
evening for alleged fraudulent registration.
1t Is said a man named French, from Anoka,
is one of the parties arrested, but
the sheriff refuses to tell how many are
arrested, who they are, or to let anybody
see them. There is u great howl over it by
Republicans who are sent through the city
crying it. This is all done to create public
opinion. Mayor Ames says, sit is an
eectioneering job in order to create
sentiment against me. 1 think the man
or men alleged to be arrested are
Republicans who are simply playing their
part in this desperate game of the Republi-
can bosses to regain possession of the city
for plundering purposes. You will find they
are dummies who are well paid for the part
they are acting"

ILLEGAL VOTING.

The Names of University Students from
abroad Whont the PIls5ary Strikers Er-
pect to Vote on Thursday---They are to
be Spotted and their Votes ChaUenged---
Il Little Game ChicI. the Republicans
Play Ecery Year.
It is the biggest rascals who shout the most
Justify, ''Stop thiefr' 1t is the party
that cries out loudest against lille
gal voting, ballot box stuffing, repeating, ETC.,
which prostitutes the ballot box. Their OBJ
ject in these protests is to coverup their own
frauds ''We all wear cloaks, is an es-
pecially appropriate aphorism used in speak
ing of that little portion of the ''grand old
Republican party which perpetrates its cleo
ton swindles in Minneapolis each campaign
Last fall the Democrats lost the municipal
judgship through such fraudulent voting.
The students Of the state university and the
stuc ents of Augsburg seminary. who
are not residents of Minneapolis,
deposited their votes last spring
for Judge Bailey at the instance of the Re
publican bosses. The statute is clear and
makes the offense punishable by imprison-
ment.
To avert recurrence of the fraud on Tues
day, the GLOBE has secured an authentic list
of the names of the students OF these educa-
tional Institutions, together with their re-
spective places of residence. The list OF the
state university is reproduced below, and
will be placed in the hands of the Demo
cratic ward committees, and in case
the students offer their ballots
at the polls on election day, they will be
promptly challenged, and if any of them
succeed in depositing the same, they will be
prosecuted to the extent of the law, which
prescribes that any person found guilty OF
the misdemeanor shall be imprisoned for
not less than one month nor more than six
months The statute holds that no man has
right to vote in any city, town or state
where he may be temporarily residing. The
courts have ruled that student does not be
come resident of any city merely by his at
tending school in that city. He must make
it his permanent residence. His permanent
residence is at the place of the residence of
his family This is a clear principle OF law,
which every reader will thoroughly compre-
bend.

residences of the university students who
are not qualified voters in MINNEAPOLIS:

School Suffrage.
To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
Women are interested in all matters per-
tanning to educational interests of the young
and as mothers they feel the necessity of the
political cooperation of the fathers and the
mothers of Minneapolis in the election of
such persons to fill the vacancies which oc-
cur on the school board this spring, as will
represent their opinions pertaining to the
moral and physical welfare of their child
rem.
We would not imply that gentlemen do
not have this interest, but, in view of the
fact that the young are dependent upon the
mothers influence more than any
other elements, therefore, the cooperative
influence of women is needed upon our
boards of education. The women Of Min
nesota were granted school suffrage in 1875.
At the Republican, Democratic, Prohibition
and Woman's joint nominating convention
held in Harrison hall, March %, B. F. Mel
son, Martha G. Ripley and Lydia P. VIII
iams were the unanimous choice of the
whole convention as candidates for the
spring vacancies on the school board.
Mrs. L. P. Williams is weIl-known in the
city.
Dr. N. G. Ripley is woman of executive
ability, a graduate of the Boston medical
university and has made sanitary measures
