COME WEST,

Following up the argument advanced by
the GLOBE that the true solution of the
labor and social problem was to be found in
a policy that would check the tendency of
population to the large centers and turn
the tide toward the fertile plains of the
West, correspondent writing from the
Red river valley gives some important facts
in support of our theory. AS an illustra-
ton he mentions one section of country In
the Red river valley On the line of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway,
which can find its duplicate in many parts
of the West In 1880 there were only two
or three carloads of wheat shipped from
Northcote, and the lands lying around the
place were principally vacant lands. People
began to follow up the railroad and to
settle the lands. The next year
there were twenty carloads of wheat
shipped from that point. In 1888
there were sixty cars laden with
the golden grain of the fertile val
ley, and last year the shipments
amounted to 1870, 900 bushels. While five
years ago the land where the town now
stdIuS, dllu dpouI III, was uilpiokeH, tLiS
year it is estimated there are 5000 acres in
wheat and the estimated yield will be 16O,-
600 bushels. In the meantime this farming
industry has given birth to and has been the
support Of a thriving little town whose
property valuation is now $50, 900.
This is but one illustration of many that
could be cited to convince the workingmen
of the East that their wisest course would
be to abandon the precarious life of mill
work, and, organizing themselves into colo
nies, come out West, secure homesteads, and
at the end of five years they will find them
selves independent farmers with their FAM
lilies well provided for. and not subjected to
the caprices of the manufacturing indus
triac

Result of Skating Rink Intimacies.

Boston, June 11.-Four pretty and rosy
checked girls, all neatly and tastefully
dressed, sat in the municipal court this
morning. They were all between 16 and
II years of age. Apparently they were as
innocent as child 3 years old, and their
presence as prisoners in the dock excited
much comment among the habitues of the
court room. The testimony of the officer
who arrested them showed that the girls
were the victims of skatingrink intimacies.
Their names are Sadie Goldsmith, Maggie
Conley, Mary Mckay and Rose Clerty.
They have frequented the Argyle rink
all winter long, and officers have often
seen them roaming the streets with
men at midnight after the rink
had closed. They have also been
seen drinking liquor with young men, and
one of the party confessed to the officer
that she had occupied hotel room night
after night in company with three other
little girls and young man. The officers
testify that the language used by the girls
is shockingly offensive. They cried bitterly
in court to-day, and protested their inten-
ton to reform. Sadie Goldsmith, a brilliant
JeweSs, seems to be the worst of the four.
Judge Allen, who reserved his decision, will
probably send her to Sherburn and put the
others on probation.

is seriously

W. E. Seip, superintendent for the gas
company, contemplates resigning his posi-
ton and removing with his family from
Eau Claire to Bloomington, ILL.,, in the
near future. 1t is understood that MI.
Seip will engage in the same business in
Bloomington as he has been engaged in at
this city. The Free Press says that gay
party Of Eau Claire people left on Saturday
afternoon for Cumberland equipped with
accoutrements and supplies for camping out
near the place named for week or ten
days. The party consists Of William Pugh,
David Drummond, Frank Farr, j ohm Shute,
J. G. Churchill, Miss Cook, Mrs. Stouch,
Mrs. Pugh, Mrs. Shute and others. The
Scandinavian Lutheran cemetery was for
mally dedicated on Sunday morning. The
cemetery lies north of the main part Of the
city, but is within the municipal limits.
1t is about s0x2O rods, is tastefully laid out
and planted with shade trees. 1t is owned
by two Scandinavian Lutheran societies,
having been conveyed to them by the city
about four years, ago and has been used as a
cemetery about fifteen years.

only been a reflection on the good name of
the city, but they have held out to the dis
reputable classes an inducement to come to
st. Paul. because they have been informed
through that journal that wide-open
policy was to prevail under Democratic
administration. Yesterdays issue OF that
paper reads very much as if Mr.. Tom How
ARD was back on the tripod and that the
paper had sufficiently recovered from its
scare incident to the late grand jury inves-
LEGATIONS to recommence its dirt-throwing at
Mr.. RICE, The evening Republican journal,
which is usually fair and liberal in its views
and methods of dealing with public matters,
hits its more Extensively partisan morning
Republican contemporary some well-merited
rapS over the knuckleS. In referring to the
covert assaults daily indulged in by the
morning Republican paper the Dispatch
says:
These covert innuendoes are intended TO
destroy public confidence in Mayor RICE, TO
convey the impression that st. Paul is about
to be given over to q riot of debauchery, and
hence are calculated to injure the city's fair
name and fame. 1t will be remembered that
this same paper, just before election, made
shameless attack on Mayor RICE and other
prominent citizens, and that its charges were
investigated by the grand jury and pro-
nounced false. One of these charges was
that the gambler CHM had contributed
largely to the RICE campaign fund. The P.
p. subsequently, confessed that its only au-
thority for this and other charges was the
''veracious'' Tom HOWARD. Yet this morn
ing it has the indecency 10 virtually repeat
this charge in sneaking manner through its
news columns, thus:
As one sport put it yesterday, ''CHINN has come
to open his house again to get back the money
he put into the campaign fund"
And with characteristic fairness and
commendable truthfulneSS the Dispatch
says in addition that it does not believe
that Mayor RICE is under any pledge to Mr..
CHM on account of money contributed to
the campaign fund, or to anybody else.
And it furthermore says that it believes Mr..
RICE accepted the mayoralty free and I'M
tramneled and that he intends to admin
lister his Office to the best Of his Judgment
for the welfare of st. Paul" This manly
declaration of the evening Republican
paper is in happy contrast with the miser-
able attempt of its morning Re
publican contemporary to revive charges
which it had previously made and
subsequently confessed to be false, and for
which it made an abject apology in order to
escape a punishment that it richly de-
served. The people of st. Paul have no
fears but that the city will be governed well
and wisely under Mayor RlcE's administra-
ton. And so long as we are satisfied with
the existing state of affairs. why the neces-
sity to create the false impression abroad
that the city is overrun with disreputable
people and that it is to be the rendezvous
of gamblers and prostitutes? There is no
city of its size in the Union which is more
orderly and in more healthy moral condi-
ton than ST. Paul, the Pioneer Press to the
contrary notwithstanding.

A NEW ONE.

1t was not a very big fraud that Secre-
tary WHITNEY recently discovered in the
navy department, yet there were some big
people connected with it. 1t comes down
from the days of the aromatic robson,
who made a contract with the owner of a
process for preserving wood. The terms of
the contract were changed from time to
time. but the company received thous-
ands of dollars from the government for
treating timber used in naval construction
with its preservative chemicals Finally
toward the close of Mr.. CHANDLER's adj
ministration the government bought the
company's plant outright. AS the result of
all investigation set on foot by Secretary
WHITNEY it is discovered that the process
is of no practical value, and that its use has
cost the government over $150,0O0. The
virtuous Gen. B. F. BUTLER was associated
with Messrs. robson and CHANDLER in
the sWindle. Gen. BUTLER was Repub-
lican at the time he introduced the patent
process to Mr.. robson.

Special to the Globe.
GEN. MIDDLEToN's CAMP, Seventy
Miles Northeast of Fort Pitt, June g.
Middleton's command is now halting at the
edge of big and apparently impossible
muskeg, some four miles in width, across
which Big Bear has, however, passed, hav-
ing abandoned his carts and travelling with
Indian pack ponies. Scouts report him to
be debouching west, being doubtless after a
big cache of provisions stored by him at
Beaver river. If this is his intention he
will be badly left, as the flour has already
been captured by Gen. Strange and is now
in his possession. Gen. Strange and his
command are encamped near Cold lake, in
the neighborhood of Frog Lake. Middle
toms force, the composition of which I
have already telegraphed you, are bivou-
acked here. Tents and everything else
that can possibly be dispensed with have
been discarded, the great aim, of course,
being to overtake Big Bear and rescue the
prisoners. Middleton is using every effort
to accomplish this. All wagons will be
dropped and Bedson:s pack train utilized.
This is the only means of transport, and
even with this the probability is in favor of
the musleg being found impossible. Sup
plies were sent down the river to Pipestone
Creek yesterday, then up the country to-
wards Turtle Creek, to intercept Middle
ton. The Saskatchewan is rising rapidly.

BOBBING UP AGAIN.

Ever since Mr.. GLADSTONE was capti-
waited by the beauty of a celebrated Amer
ican actress he seems to have been fired
with dramatic spirit. Everything he has
done of late has had touch of the drama
about it. 1t was so when he thrilled par
lament with his great war speech a few
weeks ago. 1t was so few days ago when
he stood in the commons, pale and trembling,
and listened to the announcement of the
vote by which his government was defeated.
But the most dramatic feature of all is
about to be presented in his reported reap
pearance at the head of the government.
and after having formed all alliance with
the anti-coerciOniSts. Mr.. GLADSTONE was
known to have been opposed to the coercion
measure in the beginning. 1t has not been
long since he was in constant communica-
ton with Mr.. PARNELL and that gentleman
was relying upon the premier for support in
securing an Irish policy that would secure
tranquility to Ireland. What influences
Lord SPENCER brought to bear to cause
GLADSTONE to make d change of front
are not known. If he goes back
into the premiership through a COM
bnation with tile anti-coercionists it
will be remarkable victory for the PAR
NELL party. 1t will show that they hold
balance in the British parliament that will
serve them good purpose in the future.
English politics are very similar to politics
on this side of the water. A great many
strange things happen, and only few who
are inside the rings can explain the causes.
Mr.. GLADsToNE's temperance at the
head of the government will be severe
blow to his enemies, who felt confident
that they had the old man down and were
able to hold him.
