their recommendations should be kept

them from merited criticism when they are

from all this secrecy. 1t does not hear OBJ

The Newspaper Assaults On e0
City's Reputation.
81 wish you newspaper fellows were all
brnon IT was a well-to-do citizen who
made the remark, one who isn't much OF a
nolitieian. and who doesn't care much about
narties. The person addressed was one Oh
those same newspaper fellows whose neckS
If was considered so desirable to have
stretched. Newspapers such as the one
that comes from Third street, do more harm
TO a city than forty newspapers can neutral
i've The credit and popularity OF city are
rs sensitive as the credit and popularity OF
q business establishment, and are as liable
TO be affected by any breath OF suspicion.
No one who knows the people whom II
charges with felony will believe the allega-
tionS. but newcomers and outsiders VINO
read the paper are liable to be affected by
il. The credit of st. Paul has stood up
wonderfully under the attacks which have
been made upon it, not only by newspapers
in a competing city but also by
one ostensibly published here. But
they can't help having their effect.
Just now. when the rivalry between the two
cities is at its most interesting stage, when
each is doing its utmost for itself, to have
an attack like that from home paper on
the government and finances of the city
why. it's more than disloyalty, its id
treachery. Talk about $40, 900! Why,
few such publications as that would lnlure
the city and its general interests more than
five times that amount. It's all very well
for you politicians to fight over the offices,
but when in that fight you stab at the clty's
credit. YOU do more damage than all your

DIR. DANA ON POLITICS.
He Hopes Every Voter will Care.
fully ScrutiniZe His Ballot.


Rev. DR.. Dana took for his theme last
evening selection from st. Luke, nine
teenth chapter, forty-irst verse, "When He
was come near He beheld the city and wept
over it, This referred to Jerusalem, which,
scorning its great advantages, persisted in
the wrong-doing which proved its down.
fall, and caused the Savior to weep. The
apostles made the cities, the great
centers, the first and foremost places
of their labor. The cities OF
the United States, from containing
one-twenty-fifth of the population in the
year 1900 had grown in 1880 to contain
three-fourths of the population. The char
aeter of nation comes from its cities and
the dangers which threaten q nation are
contained therein. 1t was there that COM
munism and socialism had their strong
holds, it was there it was that the great
gulf between poverty and riches existed, and
where crime, vice and all social evils are
rampant. Therefore they were the most
important localities for Christian and re-
form work.
The question was what can we do to
make the individual citizen responsive to
his civil duties. The large number who at
every election do not vote are Intelligent
men, property owners and business men who
cannot take the time or stand aloof.
1t was not the drayman, the laborer or the
mechanic, be it said to their honor, who
DEFAULTED AT THE POLLS,
but men who for this crime against good
government deserved to be exiled to where
there was no popular suffrage for the pain
and jeopardy they put national and munich
pal affairs in by so doing, when each vote
represents 5.74 persons in this country.
After making an argument in favor of
high license, DR.. Dana said it was not his
purpose to discuss either of the candidates,
but he asserted that the conscientious voter
would scrutinize each candidate if he did
his duty, with view of the possible result
which would accrue from his election.
There should be courageous action at the
polls in the endeavor, as far as possible, to
secure the men of character for officers,
which the city so much needed.

A CONSUL ON A BUST.
DIR. Metre Declares He Is a COnfeder-
ate and Wants to Clean Out
a Hotel.
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May DIR. Metre of
Colorado, who was yesterday appointed
consul at Nagasaki, Japan, was the central
figure in most unpleasant scene in the
lobby of the Ebbitt house few weeks ago.
Before the war Metre was an officer of the
marines, and in that service made the ac
uualntance of Commodore Truxton. When
the war broke out he went into the Confed-
crate service. One evening about six
weeks ago he got very drunk, and meeting
TrrlXton he tried to get into con-
versation with him. TruXton saw
how drunk he was and edged off,
whereat Metre became furious and
insulted Truxton, cursed him for not going
into the Confederate navy, yelled that he
was a Confederate and he was glad of it,
and created scene Of great confusion III
the lobby, and finally struck at the cOmmo-
dore. A policeman was called, who carried
him off, Metre, meanwhile, shouting that
he was Confederate, and that he would
kill Truxton. This little incident naturally
delayed Metres appointment. but his
friends represented that he was ordinarily
a very well conducted person; that the day
in question was his wedding anniversary,
and he had met great many old friends
from Maryland, his early home, and he had
Joined them, when they drank to his
good health and his wifes until he had got
a little ''oif." The state department ac-
cepted this explanation and forgave the
indiscrete Metre the more readily as his
wedding anniversary will occur only once a
year, and in Japan he will meet very few OF
his old friends whom he can treat OF who
will treat him. DR.. Metre is said to have
had more recommendations for appointment
than any other Western candidate for office,
and he is also said to have made most
agreeable impression ON Secretary Bayard
and Assistant Secretary Porter by his in
telligence and manners. He is not yet past
middle life.

POLITICAL POINTS.

By the way, nothing has been said as yet
as to Mr.. Merriam's attitude on the high
license question. 1t doesn't matter much
either, as he is not going to be mayor, but
some of his friends would like to know. At
that conference at the capitol some weeks
before he was nominated, he was put for
ward as the only high license candidate that
could be secured, and his record was pointed
out, particularly his signature to high
license call year or more ago. But with
in the last week he has been visiting saloon
keepers and brewers, saying he was just as
liberal as any man on the high license and
Sunday-closing questions. Peter Thauwald
is one of the saloonkeepers to whom this
remark was made.
eyes" said the incoming mayor, Rice,
the noblest old Roman of them all, as he
glanced over the river to the glimmering
lights in West st. Paul, last evening,
''those good people over there ought to have
that levee built this season, and if l am
elected it shall be done. Why, there are a
thousand houses over there that should be
protected against the ravageS of floods,
which are liable to come twice year; but
they are the homes Of the poor, who have
improved them in the full faith that the
city will see to it that that levee is built
1t is my especial ambition that my incom-
ing administration shall see to it that this
great work shall be promptly performed.
With me it is not a party measure, but an
act of simple justice to those people,"

pointed to wait upon Mr.. Rice and inform
him of the support which their class would
give him, have issued an address, the sub
stance of which is as follows:
At a mass meeting of colored citizens
resolutions were adopted indorsing Hon.
Edmund Rice for mayor, and committee
of seven was appointed to notify him of
this action.
Mr.. Rice replied satisfactorily and stated
that he was satisfied that the colored peo-
pie would give him their hearty support,
knowing his former attitude toward them.
We, the committee, cordially invite all our
colored brethren to support him to man,
knowing him to be the most fit and proper
gentleman to fill the position, and also that
he is the colored mans friend.

much opposition among the place-hunters
and their friends would, if carried into
effect, do more to protect all the members
of the administration who wish to be pro-
tected against making mistakes, than any
other yet made. This is to let the names
of all applicants to Office be made public at
once 1t would be more efficaciOus it it
went further and allowed the press access
to letters and petitions of recommendations.
The observers here know that there is moth
ing which the incompetent seeking office
hate more than to have it publicly
known that they are applicants. The
reason is plain. Once let this be known

New York Clipper, May 2: Apparently
frightened at the prospect of becoming in
volved in trouble with the authorities, the
party who arranged the glove fight between
John l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan last
week took back the money deposit placed
by him in the hands of Harry Hill, and for
which peculiarly-wOrded receipt was
given, and declared that he washed his
hands of the whole business. Upon being
informed of this action, Sullivan is repre-
scented as saying that while he was sorry
there would be no fight he did not blame
the person who got up the match, and that
now he should prepare for his invasion of
England. The lovers of sQuare-dealing
and opponents Of chicanery in P. R.matters
may well feel satisfied over the breaking off
of an affair which as originally planned by
the advertising SchemerS could never have
been brought to an issue on turf. Ryan
expresses regret that the match is at an end
especially as he has quit Chicago for good
and came East to train. He will remain
here for some time and hopes that arrange
ments may be made for him and Sullivan
to meet privately for purse, which he is
willing to do at any time.
