VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Major Newson,s Backers.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In an article in the Pioneer Press of Sun
day last, setting forth what purported to be
the views of prominent Democrat, he is
made to say: ''The effort to secure the Cal
cutta consuship for Maj. Newson is COM
plimentary rather than strong and sincere.
[ am sure the major will not get it, for
Kelly and Doran do not intend that he
shall" Allow me to say that many friends
of Mai. Newson in this city conceived the
idea of procuring for him a small office OF
the general government in recognition OF
his services in the Northwest and his merit
as a man, and to that end appointed a COM
mittee to get up a petition and procure
signatures 60 it. was one
of that committee and it was my
duty and my pleasure to call on the
distinguished gentlemen whose names are
attached to this petition, and let me assure
YOUR readers that Gen. II. III. Sibley, Ed
mund Rice, Norman w. Kittson, Henry M.
Rice, Charles E. Flandreau, Charles s.
Willis, j. b. Brisbin, William P. Murray.
Col. William Crooks, Alex Ramsey, Will
lam r. Marshall, w. Wilkin, G. K. Davis,
L. F. Hubbard, John F. Norris, Q. D..
O'Brien, John S. Prince not only read the
petition presented to them, calmly and
literally, but commented upon it, signed
it readily and complimented it in the high
est degree. Maj. Newson himself and in an
earnest and sincere manner, expressed
warmly his hopes that the president would
give him the position. Not man hesi-
tated No eQuivocation, no excuses.
Eyes, will sign that most cheerfully," was
the.response of every one, and especially
considerate and anxious was that good old
Democratic Roman citizen, Gen. Sibley.
No one can question the sincerity OF these
gentlemen who signed Maj. Newsom's Pc
tition. Messrs. r. A. Smith, William Daw-
son, Albert Scheffer, Ansel Oppenheim and
III. P. Hall subsequently signed the same
document, and, | am well informed, ex-
pressed the same sincere and kindly wishes
for the majors success. Now, as to the
strength. No stronger document ever went
from Minnesota than that at present in the
hands of the president OF the United States
asking the appointment OF Maj. Newson.
Men grown gray in the service OF the Dem
oeratic party, and whose names are national;
men of irreproachable character; men of
brains. of thought, of discretion; men of
principle whose lives have been spent right
here. and whose deeds have gone to history
these are the names a so-called ''promi-
nent Democrat" fiippantly pronounces mot
strong" Heaven save me from the weak
AS regards Messrs. Kelly and Doran would
say, that the matter of submitting this
petition to them was talked over by each
gentleman. and while they thought it was
proper to do so, yet in case of their refusal
to sign it, they were decided in theil
expression ''send it direct to the president, y
which was done. If Messrs Kelly and
Doran can afford to ignore these gentlemen,
it is their funeral, not mine.

Youthful Marriages.

Boston, May 1S.-Judge Allen took oe-
casion to-day in the divorce court to roundiy
denounce the marriage of children, and
sharply criticise minister who united such
pair. The case in question was that of
Laura Sargent against her husband, Frank
l.. Laura is very pretty young lady and
was neatly attired as she modestly told her
story. She had only known Sargent three
weeks she said, when they were married,
on March II, 1879, when she was barely Is
years old They had a daughter born in
the December following and lived up to
Oct. "a, 1881, in Boston and Lowell. On
that day he deserted her and since then she
has not seen him. She said Frank had
treated her very cruelty. He had forced
herself and child to lie on the bare floor,
while he slept in the bed, and had not pro-
vided them with clothing. Every effort has
been made to find the husband but without
avail, although he is supposed to be at work
on some one of the roads leading into Bos-
ton, under the name of Hoffman or some
other alias.
Said Judge Allen to Laura:
How old were you when you were mar
ried?"
Laura-Fifteen years. had only known
him three weeks. My parents did not know
of it.
Judge Allen-Who performed the cere-
mony?
Laura-Rev. MI. George Huntington. a
Methodist Episcopal minister, at his house,
in Cambridgeport.
Judge-The minister ought to be indicted
and punished We have had too many
cases of that kind. People often wonder
why we have so many divorce cases. The
laws should be frightened, and ministers
who violate the law by marrying people
under eighteen years old without the con-
sent of their parents should be punished.
have known many unhappy marriages
from this cause in the court and some with
out. l think this case is a good one, but
shall hold it under consideration for few
weeks in hopes that the husband may be
found.

THEY WANTED A REST.
The Bard of the Bull PEN Adm0n-
ished to go SiOw--The Police
Court Docket.

And now the primrose blossoms on the lea,
And rare, red roses coyly tempt the bee
With honeyed dewdrops; and soon the flea
And clearinghouse mosquito will migrate
To genial summer haunts by wood and lake,
On fat, sleek guests their appetites to safe.
The bard of the bull pen was about to
wrestle with the muse again when the
rosy bailiff informed him that the court
room was nearly lunatic asylum already,
and that as no one was prepared to climb
the golden fume and do the harp act he had
better give them rest.
Then the ball of justice was set rolling
and chunks Of law were ground out as fol-
lows:
John and Thomas O'Brien were charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon.
These strong armed men laid in wait for
Mike Harmon with rock, and when Mike
appeared on the horizon they let him have
it for all they were worth. Their victim
has fractured skull, and the hearing was
continued to the 25th, the bail being fixed
at $500 each.
John Curtis, gem'man of color, was
charged with having been drunk and dis
orderly, and his case was continued to
the 22nd.
He belonged to the immortal Smith fam
lily, and he had been out painting the town
red, his inspiration being bug-juice. The
court had mercy on him, and he only re-
ceiyed ten days.
Mike Mcguire and another soft-handed
man were charged with vagrancy, and they
were sent to the city summer resort for
thirty days each.
Thomas Finnerty said he was all right
even if he did take an occasional pull at the
old stuff. He was roaring drunk on Sun
day, and he will languish for ten days.
Frank Bentough was charged with SINH
lar offense, and he was fined ten bills. He
paid the scrip. A couple of animated rem
dering establishments were run in for nui-
sance and they were sentenced to take a
bath and remain abated for five days.

STREET SAYINGS.

Sheriff S. G. McQuade of St. Louis
county lodged prisoner under sentence at
the Saltwater penitentiary yesterday. On
being informed at the state house that the
appropriations for sheriffs fees for landing
prisoners at the penitentiary had run out,
he replied that as he should hang his next
prisoner, he should not have to wait for
transportation fees on his account.

II am glad to hear of Mr.. Bassford's ap-
pOintment," said a prominent citizen yes
terday, land the beauty of it is that it
came unsolicited. Minneapolis architects
gave us the capitol building, which almost
fell down, and the union depot, which was
burned up, and we are in duty bound to
give them first-class government building,
just to show them what we can do"

An alley near the First National bank to
which no one seems to claim title having

its brink yesterday: mo fishing allowed

You have heard of newspapers edited
with a shovel. with file, with demijohn,
etc. The Minneapolis Evening Journal
yesterday was edited with ehisel: When
it came off the press, one OF it's splurge
head lines was startling. 1t said: ''Wash-
ngef Riticnch ue H." This information is
interesting and edifying too, but it had no
particular relevancy to the matter in hand,
and was calculated to disturb the feelings
of a large and influential portion of the
community. In consequence the managing
editor hustled down to the pressman, fire in
his eye, and in his hand a mallet and chisel.
When he had finished his work no trace of
the infammatory head was left. Its place
was blank,

An Exciting RunaMax.

A team of spirited horses, attached to a
wagon and belonging to Mr.. j. B. Powers,
became frightened at the head of Third
street about noon yesterday and ran away,
creating great excitement. They ran down
Third street at a terrific rate of speed, and
when opposite the Metropolitan hotel they
collided with a rig belonging to plumbing
establishment Mr.. Powers rig was upset
and the coachman thrown to the sidewalk,
but he fortunately sustained only a few
slight bruises. The horses were caught al
this point, and, strange to say, the damage
was light.

The Association Gives Advice to the
Incoming City Governments.

Incoming City Government.
The st. Paul taxpayers at their meeting.
at the chamber of commerce last evening
sat down on the proposed building of park
on West Third street, near the Touring
mill, which it was estimated would cost
500, 900 to buy, wall up and grade, and
recommended rather the purchase of Car
penter's lookout or site Oh Dayton's bluff,
for grand park view of the river.
The growing prevalence of crime in the
city came up for discussion and it was de-
cided that some action was needed on the
part, of the authorities to check and hold it
in subsection. The matter of greater econ
Omy in city government was also discussed
at length, and as a result of the airing
of both subjects, the following resolution
was unanimously passed with proviso that
it be handed by the secretary to the incom-
ing city government:
Resolved, That owing to the general
stringency of the times it is important that
the greatest economy should be observed in
all of our city expenditures, and we earnestly
request the mayor and city council to use
their best exertions to see that all ordinances
be faithfully carried out, that all licenses re-
quired by our ordinances be faithfully en-
forced in order to increase the income of the
treasury, and that a more efficient service be
demanded from our police force.
An alteration was made of the bylaws
providing that any member of the executive
committee absent for three successive meet
ings be deposed from Office and new men,
Der elected in his stead.
Adjourned for two weeks.

Big Business Established i'm Two
Years.

About two years ago Mr.. W. e. Gales
came to this city and opened an Office to
take orders for fine painting and granting.
His first work proved him to be thorough
master of his trade and in a very short time
he and his son, who is associated with him,
were overrun with business. The assist
ance of first-class workmen was secured
and to-day their record stands as monu-
ment to skill and industry. What they have
accomplished is simply marvellous. Among
the large jobs is the beautiful hardwood
finishing in the Wilder block, as well as
that of the store of Manufacturer Bros. and
the cherry work and other painting which
has been so praised in Dickinson's new
store. Mr.. Gales particularly prides him
self On the beautiful cherry imitation
which he makes and he may well do SO. st.

worker in her midst, and should call at 1875

MISS INGELow's Poems Of the Old
DAYS and the New" has not had the at
tention called toit in our critical journals
thatits merits deserve. The reason of
this we are at a loss to discover; for there
is no falling off in the quality Of the verse,
or the peculiar excellence Of the work
manship. Indeed, in some respects, we
think it is a marked advance upon the
volume which preceded it. In letter
Of Miss. Ingelow, which lies before us,
she says that some Of her English critics
were so severe upon her for her
"Story of Doom" as to discourage her
muse, and cause her for a period almost
to lay aside her poetic pen. Neverthe-
less, we aver that this same "Story Of
Doom" contains some Of the finest things
that Jean Ingelow has ever written.
