Mr.. McLeOd's Defamation.

Archie Mcleod sent in his declination as
candidate for alderman to the high license
committee last Monday night, but that body
has heretofore declined to make it public.
The letter was as follows:
St. PAUL, Mimi, April -, 1SS4.-Hon.
George l.. Becker, Chairman High License
Committee, ETC.: Sir-I am informed that
your committee has seen fit to place my name
in nomination for the position of alderman
of the first precinct of the Second ward, and
desire to say that deem it an honor that
your committee should consider that I am
possessed of any qualifications for so respon-
sible position. L need hardly say that as
citizen and tax payer l am in full accord with
the reform movement you are engaged in.
The right of a community to regulate and
control the sale of Intoxicating liquors is well
established and any legitimate measure
looking to the maintenance of that right and
demanded by the people has my hearty sup
port. If elected to the position you have
connected my name with, the performance
of the duties attendant, l would certainly be
guided by your wishes as far as high Ii
cense as would be best conducive to the peace
and good order of free people and prosper
GUS community. However, in declining the
honor of your nomination, [ would most
respectfully say that 1 have neither the
time nor the inclination to enter into the
political contest its acceptance would neces-
state.
Again thanking you for your honorable
consideration of my name, L am yours, most
respectfully, A. D. MCLEOD.

PALACE OF PLEASURABLE PAIN.
A Reporter with the To0thache Finds
a New Aesthetic Sensation.

A representative of the GLOBE had occa-
sion last week to visit dentist, and after in
curing of several people he decided to call
upon the Patterson Bros, at the corner of
Seventh and WacOuta streets, in Habighorst's
block. He was prepared to fine a place
affording as much comfort and attractive ap-
pearance as any place of that sort could be
expected to present to the sufferer who breads
the very idea of dentist, but how great was
his surprise to find himself ushered into one
of the most elegant and ornate drawing
rooms he had ever entered. The
spacious reception room was a perfect
bower of artistic beauty Pleasure took the
place of pain when the proposed victim en-
tered. Here was delightfully."- proportioned
room, light, airy and elegant, with rich, soft
Administer carpets, the perfection of decora-
tons on wall and ceiling. The colors were
harmonious throughout, the elaborate furni-
ture, in its heavy plush, and the woodwork
with its fine dark polish carrying out the true
artistic idea. The apartment contained a
wealth of beautiful small embellishments,
many being the gifts of appreciative friends
of the talented brothers. A fine piano
showed that the proprietors were determined
to spare no expense to satisfy their patrons.
The first impression made upon this
visitor was so good that he
decided to make the acquaintance of the
proprietors and find out more about the es-
Enlistment. 1t appears that Mr.. r. H. Pat
terson has, although still young man, been
in the business thirteen years. He has as
ISOLATED with him his brother Mr.. H. S. Pat
terson and they constantly employ three
other operators. The senior partner oversees
all work and does some of the finest and
most particular operations himself.
Beside the apartment spoken of are three
operating rooms, toilet rooms, workshop and
laboratory where artificial sets are artistic
ally made, an experienced jeweler being in
charge of the gold work. The laboratory is
supplied with every improved mechanical
appliance and the work produced is and
must be absolutely perfect. 1t seems as if
nothing was omitted, and after the visitor.
who gratefully writes this notice, came, from
an almost painless operation to the pretty
salon, and gazed upon the deliberately hand
painted mantel lambrequins, the raw silk
curtains concealed beneath rich lace. with
elegant Japanese sash shades to make the
light more grateful, and wealth of beauti-
full blossoms in pots, and jardinieres emit
ting delightful fragrance, he thought what a
delightful retreat it was, and was surprised
to find that not only the rich were received
but that the poorest were swarded the most
courteous attention. The day we went
through this palace of pleasurable pain, there
had been eighty sufferers ahead of us and
more coming.

4 Valuable Work.

The city treasurer is at work indexing the
names of all property owners in the city and
has finished the First, Second, Third and
Sixth wards; parts of the Fourth and Fifth
wards are still unfinished, but will be gotten
into shape rapidly and completed as soon as
possible. The book shows any property
owners name at once, and where his prop
erty is to be found, with his address. The
letters are arranged according to Graves
Patent Index, and give very easy reference.
What the book viii be worth to the indiyidu-
al taxpayer may be inferred from the fact
that out OF several hundred pieces of proper
ty sold Tor delinquent assessment of taxes
two years ago, and upon which the time of
redemption expired lately, only three deeds
were issued by the city, the balance of the
property having all been reached and re-
deemed. The work is certainly very credit
able TO Mr.. Refs

God. We may call ourselves Christian or
infdel, it will not effect the final results.
Why should the repression of our bad
selfish passions make us unhappy? True we
cannot steal or lie; we cannot cheat or
swindle, or indulge in profanity or obscenity !;
we cannot be mean or tight-fsted; we can
not disgrace ourselves; but we can have and
enjoy all that belongs to the broadcast and
fullest development of mind and heart
Christ bore the cross for us, che hath borne
our griefs and carried our sorrows."
The better men understand the spirit of
Christianity, the more they feel how natural
and becoming praise and thanksgiving are
for its disciples. In the days of semi-bar-
barism fanatics inundated themselves upon
pillars and in caves; they trod barefoot upon
rough stones and burning iron; they scourged
and lacerated their bodies, for what. To
bear cross of their own folly, ignorant that
Christ's cross was sufficient for all needs.
He came to give rest to the weary; to bring
''good tidings of great joy" The sorrow and
tears were His; joy, gladness are ours. His
the cross, ours the crown. Thus wrote
modern thinker. "The escape from low
life to a higher one, the refuge from sin
found in the Rifted Rock, and in forgivnesss.
the new loYe toward all manking and
toward God, the better reading of life's sig
nifcance, and the perpetual looking to
heaven from amid all the sorrows Of this
shore, should not be confessed cross for
bowed down shoulders, but rather, joy
fTI1 crown for tho temn1eS !;

RAMSEY County Renublicans.

The Ramsey county Republicans have not
followed the illustrious example of Mr..
Fletcher in Hennepin county. They have
called county convention for II a. m,
April Goth, at Turner hall, said convention to
send delegates to the state convention May l,
and to the district convention on the Goth.
The primary meetings are called for the 25th.
The district convention to which county
delegates are to be sent is to select two del
egates to Chicago. The Ramsey county Re
publicans very properly leave the selection
of delegates to the district convention
to nominate a candidate for Congress, to
another county convention and do not at
tempt to forestall and mix things, as Fletch-
er is doing wherever he has control.
The Republicans hold their city cOnven-
ton on the 2Sth, and their city primaries on
the 26th. The call in full is given else
where.

PRITATE RIGHTS SUBORDINATE TO
PUBLIC INTERESTS.

One of the events of the week past has
been the beginning of an injunction suit to
prevent the bridging Of the railroad tracks
on lower Third street. The suit is brought
by property owners who claim that their
property will be damaged by the
construction of the bridge. With
out discussing the business of this
claim it is sufficient to say that great public
interests demand the improvement, and pri-
The personal security of several thousand
people is jeopardized in going to and from
their homes at present, and many lives have
already been lost owing to the crossing being
at grade.
Private interests are entitled to protection
and fair compensation but they must not be
allowed to defeat great public necessities.
When the elevated railways were projected in
New York; when the La Sale and Washing
ton street tunnels under the river
in Chicago were inaugurated, there
was a vigorous protest from prop
erty owners but these great
public Improvements were not impeded. The
Chicago tunnels present almost a parallel
ease, as they narrow the streets where they
are located, but public interests demanded
the improvement and the tunnels were con-
structed. At the time of the great fire their
existence saved thousands of lives and thus
especially proved their Importance.
The property owners on lower Third street
have pursued the wrong course in endeay-
oring to absolutely prevent the construction
of the bridge. Their proper policy would be
to ask for such damages as can be shown to
accrue from the structure. By this attempt
ed obstruction they are likely to
lose their opportunity for damages
and not prevent the building of the bridge.
The public Importance of the work is so
manifest as to require no argument There
is positively no means of reaching Dayton
bluff from the business portion of the city
with any safety to life and limb without
fiye-mile circuit to the plow works and back.
The injunction suit is a mistake an d will not
stop the bridge.

The first mass rehearsal Of Handels grandest
composition-the Oratorio of ''the Messiah
will be held at College hall, corner Of Wabashaw
and West Third streets entrance on Wabashaw),
on Monday evening at O'Clock sharp. 1t is the
earnest wish of the society to enroll as full
membership for its performance next month az
possible, and to that end the initiatory fec is
waived in the hope that local if not personal in
terest VIII prompt the musical talent which our
city embodies to come forward without farther
solicitation and cooperate with us. We want
not less than 200 voices to give due expression to
the wonderful sublimity of its choice passages,
and UdRt them at once. All vocal parties who
are qualified to read comparatively well are most
cordially invited to respond to this requisitlon,
