COL. ALIENS LICENSE VIEWS.
He FavOrs High Restriction Instead
OF High Pecuniary License.

There having been a good many contra
dictorY reports relative to Col. Aliens posi-
ton on the license question, and morning
paper having stated that the opposition tc
him was because he favored $500 license, a
GLOBE representative called upon him at the
Merchants, last evening, and asked him to
specifically state his views on the license
question.
In reply the colonel said in substance: 81
am in favor of a decided revision of the Ii
cense law and important restrictions, but
think there is better plan to regulate the
liquor traffic than to make a high money
price as a license The experience OF
other cities shows that where it is
simply question of paying considerable
sum of money the very worst and most dis
reputable places pay the required sum and
get an unrestricted license. They can dc
this, for they rob customers and make money
in various disreputable and dishonest WAYS,
and can really better afford to pay high
license than those who conduct the business
in decent manner"
''What would be the plan you would
adopt" queried the reporter
81 would have licenses issued under such
restrictions that it would not follow that be-
cause man could raise specific sum of
money he could engage in the business
if he was unfit in other respects 1 would
make the license moderate and require the
person obtaining it to give bonds for
good behavior; that he would not sell to
minors of habitual drunkards, etc. would
require him to obtain the consent of occu-
pants of other buildings in his neighbor-
hood to his keeping bar or saloon, and in
the event of his violating the law or having
disturbances in his place, would fine him
double the amount of the fine that might
be assessed upon the disturber of the peace to
whom he had sold the liquor. Upon the
second offence I would revoke his license
without allowing any rebate, and allow no
revoked license to be re-issued with
in year after the revocation. I believe
with Gen. Cole. who spoke at the market
house, that it is best to enforce laws already
in existence and make such additional re-
strlctions that the payment of money will
not secure immunity for any kind of
place man may choose to open. If YOU
charge a license fee, even no higher than at
present, and make stringent regulations and
have the police enforce them you accom-
plish more than by simply making $500
license and granting one to any one who
has, or can beg, borrow or steal that amount.
Mayor Harrison says that in Chicago where
there is $500 license under the State law they
allow it to be paid in ouaterly installments

Mr.. Harder's Resignation.

In the issue Of the GLOBE on the 23d
instant appeared telegram from Winnipeg,
which, from its wording, made it appear that
Mr.. VIM. II. Harder, assistant traffic mana
ger of the Canada Pacific railroad, had re-
signed on account of there being very
large variation between his accounts and
those of the Dominion customs department,
in the matter of duties on coal. The facts
are as follows: During the winter the GUS
toms department at Ottawa asked from the
Canada Pacific railway statement of the
amount of money paid by them for duties,
when twas found that their account was far
in excess of the amount returned by the GUS
toms officers at Emerson. 1t appears that at
that point the customs officials had been
receiving the duties from Mr.. Harder's office
and destroying the manifesto, so that the
government could have no trace of such du-
ties ever having been paid, and in this man
ner they rolled the amount up to many
thousands Of dollars. The officials of the
Canada Pacific railway were unaware of this
state of affairs, and it was only found out by
the payments and receipts being compared.
Mr.. Harden had the manifesto for all charges
of duties, but the two belonging to the gov
eminent were destroyed in many cases. No
blame whatever can be charged justly to him
as no more careful and efficient railway as
sistant manager can be found on any road.
The telegram referred to was published as
received, and there was do intention of doing
an injustice to a worthy official.

A TOuph LOT.

Officer Bruso charged in on vile niger
dive on Washington street, near Chestnut,
late last evening, where he arrested a bullet
headed colored man named Sherman Peer
and two white women of questionable repu-
tation, named Eliza Fletcher and Mary Duffy,
and colored wench named Mary Allen, as
also the well known character Mrs Mary
Bradley, who was lying i'll on a miserable
cot. The patrol wagon being sent for,
all of them we're loaded into it and
taken to the city hall, the coon and the
women being locked up, while Mrs. Bradley,
who was on stretcher, was ordered by DR..
Auker to be Immediately conveyed to the
city hospital. She was refused admission at
her last appearance before the municipal
court to the House of the Good Shepard and
was therefor taken to the county jail, from
which she was discharged about a week ago,
and Peer claims to have bought her medicine
and taken care of her ever since that time.
1t is evident that she is very seriously i'll.
The house was pulled under the charge of
disorderly and the game bagged was what
can be appropriately termed hard lot.

CHISAGO COUNTY CONVENTION.
The Congressional Delegation to Vote
for Albert Scheffer.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

RUSH CITY, Mimi, April 25.-Tne Repub-
lican county convention was held at North
Branch to-day, and elected three sets of dele
gates:
To the Republican Congressional Conven-
tion-Messrs. W. X. Wynkoop, L. X. Stan
nard, o. Walmark and NJ. c. Tombler
To the State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. F. J.
Christensen, Albert Berg, Geo. w. Flanders
and L. K. Stannard.
To the District Convention-Oscar Roos,
F. s. Christensen, w. II. Wynkood and o.
Walmark
The strength of the Fletcher interest was
very manifest, and at the opening of the
convention it was thought delegates would
be selected favoring him, but great deal of
figuring was done, and finally square-toed
and-Fletcher delegation was secured, al
though several of them are very pronoun ced
in favor of Senator Sabin, and would to a
great extent be controlled by his wishes.
Senator Shaleen and E. @. Sugalts, who had
evidently promised the county to Fletcher,
were badly sat down upon. The choice of
the convention and of the delegation for
congressman is Hon. Albert Scheffer, OF St.

VANDERBILT-PORTER FIGHT.
Mr.. Vanderbilt Gives His Reasons for
Desiring the Latter's Retirement.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 25.-As the Rock Island
election approaches interest in the outcome
of the Vanderbilt-Porter fight increases.
That Mr.. Porter will be reelected is reason
bly, sure, but by materially reduced maiori-
ty. Vanderbilt is apparently securing a large
number of proxies, and his candidate will
make good showing. The present man
agement entertains no. fear as to the result
of the years election, but that the future
presents to them as sanguine an aspect is
doubtful.
VIM. II. Vanderbilt, in a recent interview.
expresses himself as follows The question
for the Rock Island stockholders to settle is
whether one of them shall be deprived of his
rights simply because he owns stock in an
other road. 1t would not be a bad plan for
them to inquire the reasons why I am not
satisfied with the present management.
They would find that have no confidence in
it. L have no personal quarrel with Mr. Por-
ter, but object to his representing me on
the board. The reason given in my pub
lished notice to the stockholders is sufficient
He was president of the Omaha road until the
Northwestern secured control of
1t. L want no man to
represent me who takes advantage of his
position to depreciate my property Mr.
Porter has done that. I have some respect
for 'bears" who make it business to attack
but have none for man like Porter, who
attempted, while president of the Omaha
company, to wreck all the railroads in the
northwest. l will not vote for such man
to represent me. Why, the Omaha company
has brought suit against him to recover
stock issued without consideration
right here in this ROOM I
have been offered 25 per cent of the claim
II would have the suit discontinued
have nothing to do with the action. The
company rejected the offer. 1t has good
counsel, and suppose has good grounds for
expecting to recover the whole amount. 1
understand the other affidavits of Mr.. Porter
and one or two of his associates in the suits
are the foundation of this one. The testi-
mony, l am told, is very strong. When Mr..
Depew and VIM. K Vanderbilt
asked for an explanation from
Mr.. Porter they were told that
was trying to influence the Rock Island
election. Was that proper reply to seri-
Gus business question? The Rock Island
stockholders must consider these matters, for
they concern the stockholders of that road,
and OF every other railroad in the country.
AS to the stock market have taken little in
terest in it lately. / am bull because own
stocks, believe that every one who holds
stock should protect his property. As to the
fluctuations from day to day in prices,
know nothing.

THE upper house of the Stats General of
Holland yesterday voted to authorize the gov
eminent to demonetize silver to the amount
Of 100000 forms, when the state of the
country will warrant such action. The vote
will serve as a reminder of the effort origi-
mating in Holland, of some thirty years.
ago, to demonetize gold, because, in the
opinion of the creditor capitalists of that
wealthy people, the California product of the
precious metal was so large that gold was
falling behind silver in its relative value.
The silver scare of this generation is perhaps
no better founded than was the Holland gold
scare of the last generation.

On a PrOlOeed Spree.

Floyd Roberts, New York dude, having
resolved to visit the country near the setting
sun, and having consumed three weeks ON
the journey to st. Paul, having on the way
had varied experiences with ticket scalpers,
losing his baggage, testing whisky, etc., was
found by an officer sitting on the bank of the
river late last night waiting forsst the arrival of
the steamer Great Eastern to give him
passage to Chicago, and amusing himself in
the meantime by telephoning over the saw
dust and water tender messages to imaginary
young lady friends in West st. Paul. As by
his own confession he had fell into the river
once since his arrival here, he was taken to
the city hall and placed in cell four for safe
keeping for the night

IT begins to look squally for the distin-
guished Mr.. Fletcher. Chisago county, which
he originally counted as one of the sure
things, held convention yesterday and
elected a full Scheffer delegation. In Ram
sey county last night the Republicans made
he point of selecting delegates at the
primaries who are especial friends of Mr..
scheffer, and at the same time favorable to
sending Senator Sabin as delegate
at large. The county convention
to-day will be of that complexion. The
result of the primary meetings in St. Paul
last night will be Sabin's election by accla-
nation as delegate at large to Chicago. If
Mr.. Scheffer proves one-half as successful
in securing delegates for himself as he has
for Senator Sabin he will down Fletcher
overwhelm ingly.

FIFTH DISTRICT.
Interviews Showing the Blunder
Of the Opposition Fac
tiOnists.
The Nelson Managers Jeopardize Their
FavOrite Son, Destroying all
Prospect of Harmony.
Regular Republican Contention.
Especial Telegram to The Globe.


MooRHEAD, April 26.-Owing to the
crowded condition of the telegraph wires
Thursday night only portion of my dis
patches descriptive of the work of the regular
Republican convention, under the call of
Chairman E. G. Holmes, were transmitted.
This convention met in rooms assigned for
the purpose at the Grand Pacific hotel, at II
a. m, and organized by the appointment of
E. G. Holmes, of Becker county, chairman,
and W. W. Hartley, of Grow Wing, secretary.
The convention at once proceeded to
the consideration of devising an honorable
method of adjusting the matters of difference
existing in the party in the Fifth district,
and with a view to secure harmonious action
in the future a committee of seven was ap-
pointed to act as a conference committee,
and to prepare an address to be submitted
to the opposition convention which had as
sembled under call issued by Hon. c. A.
Gilman, then in session at Bruins Opera
house. The committee appointed consisted
OF Messrs. Holmes, Garfield, johnson, Hart
ley, Buchanan, Listoe and Sharpleigh.
After preparing an address to
the opposition factionists, submitting
plan whereby enduring harmony was not on
" possible, but entirely practicable, the con-
vention took recess until 8 p. IN.
The address submitted by the regular
Republican convention was published by the
GLOBE in its issue of the 18th, together with
the action of the opposition factionists, who
rejected the proposition which proposed the
IUay for parfy- barrDonv in no Sic+riot
After the submission Of the address and
its rejection by the opposition faction acting
under the Gilman call, the regular Republic
can convention reassembled. The following
committees were appointed:
Credentials Douglass, of Crow
Wing, Rumery, of Becker, Wellman, of Otter
Tail, Webster, of Clay, Sharpleigh, of Polk.
Permanent organization-G. G. Hartley,
F. B. Chaplin, E. H. Law.
The committee on credentials reported no
contesting delegations from the counties of
the district, and on permanent organization
the continuance of the temporary organiza-
ton. Both reports were unanimously adopted
The convention then proceeded to the
choice of two delegates and two alternates
to the Chicago convention, resulting as
follows: Hon. J. " Brewer, of Todd county;
Col. Geo. II. Johnson, of Becker county;
Geo. 8, Garfield and J. G. Flynn, alternates.
The committee appointed earlier in the
day to prepare the address for harmony,
acting as committee on resolutions sub
mitted report, which was unanimously
adopted. THE resolutions were published
in the GLOBE of the 25th.
The concluding action of the convention
was the adoption of resolution advising the
regular Republican district committee to
call a convention at future date to nomi-
nate candidate for congress.

regular party organization. Mr.. Hartley ex-
pressed the fullest confidence that the deli
gates chosen by the regular conyen-
ton, Messrs Brewer and Johnson,
would be admitted to seats in the Chicago
convention. He said that number oil
those who participated in the opposition
convention came to him at Moorhead dep
recating the course taken in rejecting the
opportunity for harmony and expressing
the strongest feeling of concern at the bad
management and worse temper of the I'M
thin king men like Corliss, Scott, Baker and
the like who led the revolt against closing
the breach when it could have been without
.dishonor to any one. Mr.. Hartley said that
in due time the regular Republicans would
put their candidate for congress in the field,
and with every prospect of giving him lar
ger vote than that received by Mr.. Kindred
two years ago. The responsibility for the
political division in the Fifth was now so
clearly demonstrated as belonging solely TO
the opposition factionists that among all
thoughtful Republicans the course of that
faction was severely condemned.
COL. c. H. GRAVES.
Col. Graves left MoOrhead Thursday even
ing on the n. P. R. r. for st. Paul He was
in decidedly detected mood He had done
everything he could to promote the securing
of Harmony in the party, but his endeavors
had been overruled, and a proposition that
ought to have resulted in an adjustment had
miserably failed. The colonel spoke with
some asperity of the treatment he had re-
ceived as candidate for delegate to Chicago.
He thought his county and the city of
Duluth were entitled to a different
policy of recognition than was ac-
corded by the convention of which he was
a member He had been called in the past
to bear heavy party burdens and his time
and purse had always been freely at the
service of the party, and this was the exhibit of
gratitude and appreciation that was accorded
in return. He expected continued calls
would be made upon him in the future, but
did not say what policy he should pursue in
spending and being spent hereafter. He
thought the future would disclose the gravity
of the blunder in rejecting harmony when
it was possible and so desirable

REGULAR TICKET.


Sanders and Lanberg was on both tickets.
Hon. E. P. Wade, (coloreD was the only
man elected on the contesting ticket (save
the two ramed on both) aud he will have to
''knock out" either III. P. Upham or John
Nelson, who each received the same and
lowest number of votes on the regular ticket.

served recognition though it is painful to
think that it is done at the expense of
knocking out distinguished white brother.
In the Second precinct of the Fourth ward
there were two tickets as starter. One was
composed of w. A. Nichols, George c.
Squires, E. N. Bacon and J. w. White and
the other of W. B. Dean, w. H. Sanborn, NJ.
D. Flower and j. P. Griffen. H. H. Young
and Sam Nichols were chosen judges and the
voting began. Friends of both tickets de-
clared that each ticket was in favor of Sabin
as delegate at large and Stanford Newell as
district delegate to Chicago. By the time
some two hundred votes had been cast, this
had been reiterated so often that the ques-
ton arose why there should be two tickets for
the same object, and the result was talk
over and decision to take two from each
ticket and call it 90. The new and sue
cessful ticket thus made was W. B. Dean, NJ
D. Flower, w. A. Nichols, E. n Bacon.
This ticket was declared elected and the
polls were closed.

were two tickets and the whole delegation
