EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The two
only places as yet suggested for the new city
postofiice are both very Objectionable. The
reservation in front OF the Center market Is In
the flooded district, the building could have
no basement, so very necessary. IL would
shut off the view to the market, while the of.
iensive smells and surroundings would be
very offensive. II Is a noisy, filthy and dusty
place, and the market would shut out the cool
south breezes of our long hot summers, and,
lastly, when the market is burned down, as 1t
was once and Will be again, the postofice
wOuld also be burned. II is proposed TO make
the upper stories of the building a city hall
for the accommodation of the District offices.
But the above objections against the postoliice
would be the same against this, and when the
building is burned all the city records would
be destroyed. The proposition to extend the
south front OF the present city hall TO corre-
spond with the north front would accommo-
date all the city Offices while In this place the
city records would be in no danger from the
largest city conhagration. The other PROPOSE
tlon IA TO buy the land now covered with val
uablo buildings including the Washington
and Central banks, which would cost large
sum for location, and when the high build
south, including the st. Marc Hotel, are
burned the city pOstOtiiCe would also he burned.
Now, none of these objections apply to my
proposition. Build a sl,0OO0OO brick interior
department building twice the size of the pat
ent Office in the trceless space TO the north of
| the now museum in the Smithsonian grounds.
! When completed move the interior department
and patent Office In, and give the present de.
partfnent building 10 the postotlice depart
| mCnt, including all of the present building
except so much rs may be required for the
! city posoillce and move the city postoilice
| back 10 It's old location on + street. Both the
| posolicc department and the interior depart
| ment are now too small for their business,
| constantly increasing; the latter especially is
packed with books and papers In danger from
| fire, aud especially the land office and patCrlt
] OtllpD records If burned NOlll never hn -
placed, But If this building IL made twice rs
large in the Smithsonian grounds 1t would
greatly lessen the danger from internal fires,
while no great city confagration, even like
those of Chicago and Boston, could ever reach
! II, / published twelve articles in the city
papers against locating the new pension build
| Ing on the swamp reservation on Ohio avenue
between Tenth and Twelfth streets, but US thl,
| proposition is even more obvious than that il
Is hoped that'no more will be required.

Local society is Justly agitsted about
disRraceful occurrence which took place
at q fashionable gathering in this city
last week. The newspapers of this city
had early information concerning the
matter, but had, at the solicitation of
friends Of the lady who gave the enter
tainmont in question, consented to re-
frain from mentioning it. The local cor
spondent of New York journal, how
r, gave it publicity, and thus rendered
ep,-s we'll meant efforts to avoid giving
dissgresable notoriety to the matter un-
availing. Hence yesterdays editions
came out with flaming accounts of the
unseemly conduct of the drunken young
blood who was the rank offender There
is no lesson to be drawn from tho affair
other than the suggestion that tho morale
of society, not only here but elsewhere
would be improved if its leaders would
invite none but persons Of good character
to their entertainments. Money OF
position should not be suffered TO stand in
place of rigid inquiry into the moral
qualifications of persons seeking admis-
sion within the doors of their hospitabe
mansions.

At last the cowardly assassins. known
us dynamiters, have accomplished some
thing which startles the whole civilized
world. At last people have awakened to
full appreciation of the internal work
Of the O'Donovan Rosa type of agitators.
And at last it is seen what danger to law
and order, to life and property, and to our
whole system Of civilization there ia in
toieTating in our midst an organization
whose avowed purpose is wholesale mur.
der. Senator Edmundss bill comes none
too soon, for it is disgrace to our coun-
try that men have been allowed so long
10 make the United States a nesting
place for Matching inoendiarism and
assassination. Tho work of the dy-
Mantle gang is repudiated by
both native and natuTalized citizens. 1t
is blot upon the cause in the name OF
which it is undertaken. II will surely
lead to reprisals in which, as in tho
dastardly acts of the dynamite fiends,
the innocent will be the worst suf.
ferers, All Irshmen who have at heart
tho amelioration Of tho condition of
their race in Ireland will gladly join in
efforts to stamp out organizations which
have murder for their motto.
Aside from the adherence we have for
such deeds when perpetrated elsewhere
wa have a duty to ourselves to perform
Already in the city of Chicago at a
public meeting of socialists the use Of
dynamite as a redress for the grievances
IF labor was advocated with serious
ness that may well cause alarm.
Indeed it was only recently that the mad

lication in the attempt to destroy

THERE will be meeting of the special
joint committee on public buildings and
grounds to-day to consider the question
OF n site for o new postofiice building for
this city. THE REPUBLICAN was the Arst
TO call attention to the necessity for a
new postotIice, and has been persistent in
keeping that point in the foreground. 1t
is necessary that some plan should be
agreed upon by the committee to-day, II
ny action is to be taken by congress at
this session.. We bavo no choice as to
sh6g, but We are eIrnose-ip demanding
suitable postoflice accommodations for
our citizens and tho government. There
fore. gentlemen of the committee, if you
cannot agree upon site, arrange to leave
that matter to some commission to be
hereafter appointed, but do not neglect to
recommend an appropriation for its pur-
chase and the erection of the building to
occupy IL.

Shot at a Dance.

Special to the Globe
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, June ia
serious riot occurred in South Chippewa
yesterday morning, resulting in the fatal
shooting of NJ. SOper, resident of Apple
ton, where he follows the occupation of a
machinist. He leaves wife and two child
ren in that city. The circumstances were
these: A party of railroad boys
went to the South Side
for time and tried to get into private
dance in progress at the residence of Felix
Pelican. They were refused admission,
when they grew violent, broke in the door,
smashed the windows and stoned the build
ing. One of the guests and the manager of
the party stepped to the door and
fired several shots from a re-
volver, shooting high as they supposed.
but striking one of the party who stood on
the approach to the river, at quite an eleva-
vation. The ball entered the left side Of
his abdomen and passed clear through him.
The wounded man was taken to St. Luke's
hospital, where he died. The. man who did
the shooting was arrested and placed under
So, 900 bonds.

strikinxRailroadn Men.

New YORK, June 13.-The brakemen on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad are on gen.
eral strike. The trouble is not on account
of wages, but simply the result of the forces
on the freight trains. The general reduc-
tion was made by removing the front brake
man off every freight train drawn by Mogul
engines. Efforts were made to send out
trains with two brakemen. The brakemen
claim that the state law requires one man
for every ten cars. Mogul engines usually
draw thirty cars. When they saw two men
would be required to manage a train, re-
fusal was made to go out, and the trains
were kept at standStill. An attempt by
officials to send out train resulted in the
brakemen pulling the pins, cutting the train
in ten and twelve parts and threatening in
jury to persons. One official drew a re-
volver and threatened to shoot,
and for time it locked
as though q riot was imminent.
Two leaders of the strike were arrested
and placed in prison, but were soon re-
leased by advice of the cOmpany's attorney
for fear that their confinement would lead
to excitement and further t. .ouble. Conduc-
tors refused to 60 out without their regular
crews, and thus another obstacle was en-
countered, and a number of regular trains
held. Late in the night small train was
sent out. There are about three hundred
brakemen here and all are determined.

Thugs at Work.


ST.. PETER, June 13.-Since the encamp-
ment burglars and thugs have been getting
in their work at lively rate. Last even
ing Joseph Loop of Siam City was knocked
down and robbed of S11.75 and some arti-
cles he had on his person. Louis Miller
and Joseph Binders were arrested, charged
with doing the job. They were taken
before Justice Sackett for hearing this af-
ternoon, and both pleaded guilty and were
bound over until the fall term of court.
Bail was fixed at $500 each. Failing to
furnish the amount they were remanded to
Jail. James Randolph was also knocked
senseless and robbed OF $50 by crooks. Mr..
Karrack of Minneapolis was robbed of a
watch and S27 at the Nicollet house.
Sackett & Fay's Office was entered by
thieves and the safe blown open. They
failed to get anything, although there was
considerable money in the safe. The Ka-
sofa eating house was also entered and $50
taken from the money drawer. Burglars
visited John McCabe's residence and
prowled around some of the rooms of his
house, but only succeeded in getting a few
small articles. The Winona depot, James
Benefits residence and several other places
were entered also.
