COUNTY COMMISSTOYERS.

There is no more important position in
the county than that of county commits
sioner, and the Democratic nominees
James King and Martin Bruggeman-
are admirably adapted for the positions
named. Mr.. Kings experience in public
affairs, his large property interests, his resi-
dence of twenty-five or thirty years in the
city, all make him especially qualified for the
place.
Martin Bruggeman is an old resident and
a very successful business man, proving by
the management Of his own affairs that he is
competent to look after the public
interests. With these gentlemen in
the county board no jobbery will ever
be thought of. They will be excellent CO
adjuters of Messrs. Hardenberg and Mitsch
and give the county a board of commits
sioners of which we may well be proud.

AyIMPORT4YT QUESTION.

At last the word ''dude" is likely to have a
legal definition which viii be a determining
status for the term IL 1t does not altogether
satisfy the irate Montreal gentleman named
Hamilton, who, believing himself previously
insulted when called dude" brought the
matter into court, resolved TO make the Of
Tending speaker smart for his rash use of
slang. The judge had 10 regard the word
from every point of view, and fix the limit
for It's adaptibility with safe pertinence. the
witnesses who were examined were not at
all satisfactory in explaining the meaning.
An over dressed guy, fop, or dandy, were
all described, and eventually the only find
ings were that II Mr.. Hamilton was liable to
be called a dude he should not feel the cpl
thet an indignity, while no man Of average
sense would seek redress at law for such a
paltry provocation.
Some years ago the then mayor Of New
port called Mr.. Davis, the proprietor Of the
Newport Neos, a "yillain,A The New
York World suggested to the mayor to fall
back upon the law lexieons, which simply
define villain TO be one OF the servile class.
A villain, as villain was most likely 70 be
poor, but be might be honest. He might be
''yillain in gross who was bound to the
person of the lord Of the manor. or q ''vil-
lain regardant'' who went with the manor.
The French law of the thirteenth century
recognized ''twenty-three sorts and manners
of villains" The word degenerated in the
scorn Of the feudal nobility for their in.
feriors.
The name then originally signided man
at least; but the dude is hard to describe any
way, and Mr.. Hamilton, Of Montreal, found
it an embarrassing definition in the law.
Perhaps If the learned judge had giver
vent TO the seorn of the law FOR such monde
script beings it would have been harder e
bear, and Mr.. Hamilton, not knowing posi-
lively the fun graUanel which may be Turk
ing In the insinuating name, has still little
margin Of self-respect to stand on

THE sECOND AND STxrH WARDS.

The legislative contest In these wards Is so
plain that the voters win have little trouble
10 render their decision. The Republicans
have nominated Geo. ". Lamson, who, though
a worthy citizen, has not the slightest
basis upon which TO vest HE claims
He is merely a boarder in the city, without a
dollars interest here, pays little or no taxes
(none on real estate) and has nothing what
ever at stake. The prosperity OF St Paul or
the reverse is a matter of no consequence
10 him as he could board in
some other town whenever St. Paul
ceased 10 be profitable or cOngenial to him.
sent TO the legislature would advocate the
issue Of large amount Of bonds TO increase
that institution, an act the public
do not want to see performed, as it is not
desirable TO turn the only park, worthy OF the
name, which the city possesses, into penal
colony. Not another dollar should be put
into that institution until arrangements are
made for its permanent location in some
suitable place. The Second ward, where Mr..
Lsmson sleeps Che takes his
meals in the Third ward) has no
especial demands for legislation more than
itseommon interest in the general welfare
Of the city. while the Sixth ward is in a
chrysalis state, and has most vital interests
TO be fOstered, protected and advanced.
Hon. Charles II. Lienau, the Democratic
nominee, is a gentleman Of state reputation.
He is the publisher of the Tolks Zdt,Sg, the
only daily German paper in the city, and an
old resident Of the city and state. His
business property and Office is in
the second ward and his residence
and large real estate interests in the Sixth
ward. The Sixth ward levee, the new bridge,
ward, and the general development Of that
portion Of the city, makes specific
legislation for that locality OF
vital importance. Mr.. Lienau has had large
legislative experience anG proved himself an
influential and valuable member. lie was
one Of the leading spirits in secur-
ing the legislation which has given
Minnesota good school text books at low
rates, and has demonstrated his ability as a
law maker, while he has property interests in
both wards and viii represent his entire con-
stituency, he is so situated as TO be especially
fitted to advance the interests of the Sixth
ward, and IL Is no exaggeration TO say that
the most vital interests of the entire city rest
upon the immediate and proper develop
ment Of that portion Of st. Paul. At least
three great trunk railroad lines to the east
viii center there during the next year, Il
friendly legislation is secured or hostile leg,
islstion prevented.
We are sure that the people Of this entire
district do not need TO be told that theii

TIE SHERTFFALTY.

1t has been matter of surprise to a great
many people that ex-Sheriff Richter should
allow himself to be again candidate. His
former term Of Office was one
continuous record of inefieiency
and jail breaks. The legal fraternity
were rejoiced when change was made. He
had for his leading deputy one of the most
disreputable men in the city and is pledged
to reinstate him if again elected. His only
plea for votes is that his former cam
paign cost him something. AS the
making it was matter of choice and not
compulsion this entities him to no sympathy.
The Democratic nominee, Geo. j. Mitsch,
is a young man OF sterling worth.
Honest, industrious, and capable, there
will be no repetition of the Richter
regime with him in the sheriff's Office. He
is a St. Paul boy, grown to manhood, and
has g reputation which might be the envy of
any young man in the community. There
should be no hesitation in choosing be-
tween these candidates.

THE FIFTH WARD.

The contest in this ward is largely gov
erned by geographical considerations. The
ward, in reality, should be divided, and the
Dayton bluff region set apart in a ward and
legislative district by itself. Mr..
j. II. Drake, the Republican nom
inee, being called away by the
illness of relative, lis opponents
are precluded from much criticism which
might otherwise be made. The GLOBE viii,
therefore, make no personal comment upon
Mr.. Drake in his absence. He lives and his
interests lie in what might be termed, by
comparison, the .ti'aiShed portion OF the
ward. The people on the bluff
and away out to the Harvestel
works for distance of two miles, have in
terests which demand attention and which
can only be properly attended to by one Of
their own residents
John j. Lemon, the Democratic nominee,
has been selected as the representative Of the
'GVilisled portion of that ward, and he has

SOME time ago the Indianapolis journal
commended the observation and foresight Of
Mr.. Alfred Harrison, the venerable banker,
in regard to Ferdinand Ward, late Of the
brilliant firm Of Grant & Ward, but now,
alas, Of Ludlow street jail, in New York.
Twelve years ago this erratic fnancier, was
employed in the Meridian National bank, of
indianapolis, when one day the venerable
banKer' discovered him-whistlingl 1t
made him suspicious, and he was not sur
prised day or two later on detecting furtive
cigarette smoke. Such sinister proofs made
him daily no longer with danger. He laid
the information before the bank and Ferdi
nand Ward was dismissed. The congener Of
Mr.. Alfred Harrison, the venerable banker, -
is the schoolmaster who told Pendennis that
boy who did not learn his Greek verbs
robbed his parents, and that boy who
robbed his parents was capable of commit
ting murder and ending his days on the
scaffold.

SUPPORTS ELAINE NO LONGER.

Rev. FATHER LUDDEN, Vicar General, Is
the principal editor Of the Albany Catholic
Telegraph, and his paper until Monday OF the
present week has supported Blaine,
owing 10 the charges against Cleveland
with reference TO the Freedom of
Worship bill. Several Catholic
clergymen and laymen investigated these
matters and found that Cleveland had acted
honorably in the one case and had nothing
to do with the other, and they resolved TO
give him their support. The Catholic Tide
graph accepted the result Of the conclusion
of its friends and ceased to support Blaine,
and in the issue of the paper on Monday last
the Vicar General editorially said:
''We believe that Mr.. Cleveland is an excel
lent chief executive, that be has been inGustri-
Gus, painstaking and considerations in the dis
charge of the duties OF his Office and since he
became a resident Of the executive mansion
his bearing and character demanded recognition
from all. lie became governor OF the state
OF New York two years ago by 4 majority
OF 100000 of its citizens, and to-day stands
forth a candidate for the presidency
OF the republic as the friend OF the foreign born
and stranger who sought the freedom and coun-
try on this side that were denied him AZ home q.
There is no reason why he should not be sup
ported by every freeman from end TO end of the
Union who believes in the political doctrine OF a
Tilden, Herman, Kelly, Bayard and 4
Thurman"
In honor Of the parade Of the Cleveland
Independent club, last Saturday evening,
the residence of the Vicar General was
grandly Illuminated, and he is now in line
working heartily for the Democratic nomi-
nee.

THE THIRD WARD.

The contest fer the Legislature in the
Third ward develops some pecullarities.
Mr.. r. L. German, the Democratic nominee,
is gentleman in the prime Of life, who has
resided in the ward for over thirty years. He
is large property owner, nearly al his
property being in that ward, aud Is thoroughly
familiar with what the public interests de-
mand. He served in the army for three
years, making an excellent record. The only
shadow Of objection that is urged against
him is that he is clerk Of the board Of public
works. That is a qualification instead OF a
detriment- That position has given him
familiarity with city affairs and will
make his services especially valuable
in the legislature. So far from being a rep
resentative of that body, the members Of the
board OF public works have especially and
publicly deprecated his candidacy, but the
people of his ward desire his services, and he
has simply acceded TO the popular demand.
They wish TO be represented by a man who
has interests in common with themselves,
who has both the ability and inclination 10
ably serve them.
Mr.. Lightner, the Republican nominee, is
young man who has been a resident Of the
city but three or four years. He does not
own foot of real estate in the city and has
no interests whatever in common with the
people he asks to vote for him. He has nc
basis TO ask support except his political pref
crences, and would be utterly
unfit and incompetent TO care
for the local interests Of the ward
or the city. So far as any advantage to the
tax payers of the Third ward is concerned
they might as well select any society man
from New York or Chicago as Mr.. Lightner
lie might represent the ward at fancy dress
ball, but as a member Of the legislature the
idea is supremely ridiculous.
If the people of the Third ward have any
regard for their interests they will make Mr.
Germans majority exceed one thousand.

THE FOURTH W4RD-FIRST AM
FOURTH PRECINCTS.


The Republicans of the first aud fourth
precincts Of the Fourth ward have placed in
nomination for the legislature VIM. Hend-
ricks. Mr.. Hendricks is good natured, but
not overly brilliant boy aud is much better
fitted for the part of clown alta masquerade
than a seat in the legislature. The only
brilliant thing he ever did was when he
swindled the city out of a park. The law
requires that when one wishes to lay out an
addition to the city he must dedicate
block OF land for public
park before the plat commission will permit
the addition to be recored. A few months ago
Mr.. Hendricks, who dabbles in real estate,
laid out an addition to the city and submitted
his plat to the commission, with the park
dedication, as required by law. The plat was
duly accepted by the city, but it appears that
he had previously mortgaged to a man in
Wisconsin the land which be had dedicated
as park. As soon as he got his plat
accepted the mortgage was re-
corded and the attorney for the Wisconsin
man proceeded to foreclose on the property.
Before the fraud was discovered lots had
been sold in the addition to innocent third
parties, and consequently the foreclosure
stood, while the city could not recall its &C
ceptance of the plat. AS the result Mr..
Hendricks got his addition On record and
defsuded the city out Of the park. And this
is the youth who employed a lot of bummers
TO nominate himcfor the legislature. just
what skullduggery he has in view
in the legislature is not very important to
consider, as he has no more opportunity Of
reaching that position than Blaine has of
becoming an honest man.
The Democrats have made such an excel
lent nomination in the person of Robert A.
Smith, vice president Of the Bank of Mime
sofa, that It would be an insult TO compare
the candidates. Mr.. Smith is president OF
the city council, has been 4 resident Of the
city and ward for over a quarter OF
a century, is a large property owner,
in that ward and in various other parts OF
the city, is able, intelligent and honorable,
against whose integrity not breath can be
uttered, and his overwhelming election i:
merely matter of counting the votes. II 1:
a great personal sacrifice that Mr. Smith has
consented 10 be q candidate, and the first and
fourth precincts of the Fourth ward, and the
entire city, are 70 be congratulated upon
being able to secure such excellent services

FOURTH WARD-SECOSD, THIRD and
FIFTH PRECINCTS.

This legislative district has good nomi-
nees by both parties, but the preponderanee
is largely In favor OF Amel 0ppenheim, the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. oppenheim is one
Of the live, energetic, business men Of
the city, and thoroughly informed
upon the public interests. 4 large property
owner and tax payer himself, be also has
under his control and management An i'm
mense amount Of property, and has every
interest, as well as inclination, TO serve
in the legislature with an eye
single 10 the public good.
He win labor for economy IN ali departments
Of the city, for low taxes and for such legis-
lation as the development Of the city de-
mands. It is rare that such excellent
services as be is capable Of giving can be
secured, and the people Of this dis
trict are TO be congratulated upon the
opportunity which they have 10 send such an
excellent, able, and competent gentleman to
represent them in the legislature. He has
made our city affairs constant study for
years and is thoroughly familiar with our
financial and business interests.
Mr.. Cornish did not really desire the nom
ination. He was selected during his absence
TO resent the interference Of little clique in
the Republican ranks, and it will be = per-
sonal qualification TO him 10 be defeated by
so competent a gentleman as his oppO-
nent. Having been thus placed in
the field he feels Il due to his
friends 10 make the race in good faith. But
for this fact he would, undoubtedly, with
draw in Mr.. oppenheim's favor. He has
not the time 70 devote which the place de-
mands, and the district and city win be
more efficiently served by the selection of
Mr.. oppenheim, who has done, and is still
doing an immense work in developing the
material interests OF ST. Paul.

WE read in a resume Of the leading events
OF Mr.. Wilbur f. Storey's career as a jour
nalist that "when the emancipation procla-
nation was issued the Times at once dropped
its support Of the war, and began TO con-
denim It, which called down volumes Of vi
tuperation on the head of its editor" Whyl
Because he was honest enough to say that
very few things Of the sort were done simply
because they were good and just. Even
Abraham Lincoln, notwithstanding popular
glamour on the subject, did not issue the
emancipation proclamation simply because
slavery was unjust and morally wrong. His
assigned object was TO weaken the rebellion,
and help his own forces in the field. And
yet, sentimental people believe it was just
first and foremost q great moral impulse.
The same soft heads proclaim the unre-
stricted purity and freedom Of the ballot
when peaceably conducted by score OF
United States marshals in the exalted Repub-
lican state Of Ohio. Mr.. Storey was an
honest man, and would not write his name
as his good old Yankee father gave it to him.
Wilberforce, he used TO say, was not very
consistent name for a man of his convic-
tons, and he changed it TO Wilbur f.
