sOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.


The Democracy of ST. Paul are justly
proud of their record in the government of
our municipal affairs. There is no city in
the Union which has more economic gov
ernment and makes better showing for
the expenditures of public money than ST.
Paul. So prominent has become this fact
that the credit of the city has been con-
stantly gaining strength until now its secur-
tiles are regarded as among the safest class
of investments in the whole country, and
are more eagerly sought after than perhaps
those of any city in the United States. Not
withstanding the continued and systematic
efforts of a band of spectators in our own
midst to reduce the bids on our bonds, in
order that they might buy them in at spec
Jlative prices, our Democratic city officials
had the qualification to see the $500, 600 5
per cent. bonds sold on yesterday at a
premium of over 51a per cent. This of
itself is a complete vindication of the
financial management of the city under
Democratic administration, and our city
Democracy have good cause for the
pride they feel in this matter. The people
of this city now have the fullest assurance
that the Democratic party has been faithful
to its trust in protecting and building up the
material interests of the city. With this
fact staring them in the face there can be
no possible hesitation on the part of the
people to continue Democratic rule, and not
to turn the municipal government over into
the hands of a ring who have no higher
object in view than to use public office for
speculative purposes. 1t cannot be charged
the result of Democratic manipulation, for
the whole amount was bid in by gentle
man who has been active in an attempt to
poison the public mind with the belief that
the Democratic party was not safe Gus
todian of the city's interests.

be satisfied and thus end that difficulty.
There is, however, more serious complica
ton, if rumors can be relied on, and if true
would be more valid ground for France be-
traying hostility to England. 1t is said that
in Mr.. GLADsToNE's negotiations with
Italy for an alliance against Russia, the quid
pro quo demanded by King HUMBERT was
that in the event of other European powers
being brought into collision with each other
England would allow HUMBERr to win
with his sword the Italian provinces which
France and Austria now hold. This is u
very generous stipulation on the part of
King HUNIBERT, and while he has a repu-
tation for chivalrous and generous char
acter, there is too much generosity about it
for even HUAIBERT.
The idea of an alliance between France
and Russia is absurd. There is nothing in
common between the two nations-not
even hatred of England, for the French
sentiment toward Great Britain is rather
jealousy than enmity. In no event could
an alliance with Russia be beneficial to
France, for it would etfeetually destroy the
only hope she now possesses for the integ-
rity of her frontier against the ambitious
designs of Germany

THE MARKETS.

The stock market showed lite more ac-
tivity yesterday, and business was better dis
tributed. Prices opened strong and soon be-
came heavy. but in the afternoon they be-
came strong again, and Mt the close showed
net gain of 1sG$s per cent. for the active
list. The European news was generally in
terpreted TO mean war between England and
Russia at an early day, and it is reported that
on the line from San Francisco to China ship
pers are withdrawing freight from English
bottoms and sending by steamers under the
American flag. The stocks that showed de-
clines were the Northern Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and St. Paul. Wheat was somewhat
stronger all around, though the difficulty be-
tween the Chicago board of trade and the
Western Union prevented full reports from
coming through. At st. Paul and Minneap-
Oils It advanced slightly, and at Duluth it
went 10 99c.

MIR. ROCKIES BUSINESS CAPACITY
From the Pioneer Press, Sept. IL, 1884.
st. Paul again owes surprisingly low tax
levy to the thrift, vigilance and business ca
pacity of Comptroller ROCHE. His scheme
for the lew of 1884 was presented to the
council last night and promptly accepted.
The new assessment of SCI, 600, 600 of
course made some reduction in the rate of
levy inevitable, but it is not without some
skill and effort that it has been cut down to
the singularly low figure of 16 mills
for all purposes. The city levy is III
mills, the county and state demanding the
rest There are few cities of the size of st.
Paul, and in its progressive condition, which
can show so low rate of taxation.

THE FIRST JOB OF THE RING,

A significant fact connected with the sale
Of the $780, 900 city bonds on yesterday was
that the whole lot was purchased by a gen
tleman who is an active member of the
Republican campaign committee. 1t is a
Well-lnOwn fact that the members of this
committee have made bitter and system
Rtic assault upon the credit of the city by
Rrraigning the Democratic administration
for incompetency in the management of the
financial affairs of the city and in attempts
20 create the impression that Democratic
officials were reducing the municipality to a
condition of insolvency. 1t turns out that
there was method in this unjust and uncalled
for position taken by the Republican COM
mittee. The GLOBE has all the time as
serted that the management of the Republi-
can campaign had fallen into the hands of a
ring who would sacrifice every interest that
the city had at stake in order to promote
their own selfish schemes. Yesterdays devel-
Opments go long ways toward confirm
ing the GLOBES position. The ISLANDERS
against the Democratic administration pro-
mulgated by the ring managers were in
tended to have more effect abroad than at
home. The bosses knew well enough at
the outset that there was no possible chance
TO elect Mr.. MERRIAM. They knew it was
an utter impossibility to elect Mr.. Nc
CARDY. At the same time they wanted to
be provided against contingencies, and in
the event of the impossible coming to pass
and the Republican ticket being elected
they wanted to be sure to have persons in
the principal offices of the city who would
be subservient to their purposes, so they
took the precautiOn to have their own men
Dn the ticket. But there was something
slse in sight. The sale of large amount
Of the city's bonds was to take place. They
knew that people abroad were seeking st.
Paul securities as safe investments. They
knew that st. Paul bonds had passed into
the hands of investors at premium of z
per cent. They saw chance to make
snap. The first thing to do was to frighten
away foreign bidders. The approaching
elections gave them the opportunity to
raise a hue and cry against extravaganza
and inc0mpetency, which they alleged to
exist in the Democratic administration
in order to raise this cry against the Demo-
cratic officials it was necessary for them to
capture the Republican organization, which
they did Then the false statements and
publications made against the present city

the Caucasus by the combined forces
of England and Turkey will liberate the
grim demon of rebellion which once aus
piciously loosed will sweep the Romanoffs
from Muscovy as effectually as were the
Bourbons driven from France at the end of
the last century. 1t seems to be equally
well understood that there has been secret
negotiation with the italian government by
which Italian troops will take the place OF
British soldiers at specified points in the
Soudan, provided the porte will consent to
the exchange, and there is no doubt of his
doing so. The splendid italian navy will
also be brought to the aid of the English
fleet.
So, taking it altogether, it is probable that
England was never in better shape for
war and English sentiment never more
unanimous in that direction than at the
present time. Russia has already evinced
her anxiety for a conflict by the impudence
with which she has advanced her troops
toward the Afghan frontier and the assault
her army has made upon the Afghan sol
diery. Looking at the situation in every
conceivable light war is the only logical out
come of it.

THEIR RECORDS.

The GLOBE publishes this morning the
official records of the two gentlemen who
are presented as candidates for the Office of
mayor. The office is an important one, and
is high public trust. The people of the
city have deep interest in the selection of
gentleman qualified to discharge the duties
of the responsible position in manner so
as to protect the public against the designs
of rim gs, who seek to raid the public treas
ury, and also to maintain the honor and
dignity of the city. Mr.. RICE has been
tried and found faithful and competent. So
fine record did he make in the Office Of
mayor that eulogiums of the highest char
acter were extorted from his political OppO-
nents. Friend and foe alike admitted that
he had made one of the finest executive
officers that the city had ever had. His
honesty, his zeal, and his efficiency received
the commendation Of all men. He is the same
Mr.. RICE to-day that he was then, and
when he is reelected to the mayoralty it
will be proud day for st. Paul.

REGISTER TODAY.

We hope that the large number of voters
whose names are not yet enrolled on the
registration list will not forget that to-day
and tomorrow will be the last days an Op
portunity will be given for registering,
which is d prerequisite to voting on next
Tuesday. 1t is important that every
citizen who is qualified voter and who has
the interest of the city at heart will take
the time to go to the appointed place and
register It is important to have full reg
istratiOn and full vote in order to deter
mine with some degree of accuracy the
population of the city at this time. To
vote is a duty every citizen owes himself
and the community i'll which he lives. Good
government is essential to the happiness
and prosperity of every citizen and none
should be Indifferent to its benefcence. In
the election next week there are important
interests at stake. An effort is being made
TO retire the Democratic party. which has
evinced its faithfulness by promoting the
city's prosperity and building its credit up
to a standard eXcelled by no other city in
the Union. In order to avert such calam-
itv it therefore becomes all the more i'm
Dortant that each voter shall consider lIim-
self a committee of one to see that he him
self is registered to-day or tomorrow, and
then to see that all of his neighbors do like

AN UNANswERABLE ARGUMENT

AN UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT.
For some days past the business men Of
the city have been besieged by a committee
representing the Republican candidates, who
claim that the business interests of the city
OF st. Paul demand change in the admin
iStration of our municipal government, and
have urged our citizens of wealth and enter
prise to contribute to their campaign fund.
The reason assigned for the necessity of an
immediate change i'll our municipal govern
ment was that the loose and unSystematic
business methods of the Democratic officials
were dragging the city down to condition
OF bankruptcy, destroying its credit, invOlv
ing the corporation hopelessly in debt and
all that sort of stuff. Prominent on this
committee, and one most actively engaged
in the kind of work we have described was
Mr.. UPHAM of the First National bank of
this city. That Mr.. UPHAM did not have
faith in his own work, and did not give
credence to the campaign arguments OF his
co-partisanS was most significantly illus
trated on yesterday.
AS all our people know, yesterday was
the day fixed for the sale Of 100000 FIVE
percent. bonds of the city of ST. Paul, is
sued under an act of the legislature and res
olutions of the common council, for the
purpose of extending the city water works
and for sewerage purposes. 1t is generally
understood that the financial standing of any
city is A 1 when its bonds can be sold at
par. The extraordinary pains taken by the
Republican campaign committee to injure
the credit of the city caused many of our
citizens to fear that the sale of our bonds
would be injured and their value deprecated.
Yet the whole amount of $500, 900 was bid
in by Mr.. UPHAM of the First National
bank at a premium of 5.53 per cent. This
action of Mr.. UPHAM was most thorough
and complete refutation to the ISLANDERS
which have been promulgated by his COM
mittee against the present Democratic adj
ministratiOn. 1t was full vindication of
the capable management of the city's
finances by our Democratic officials. 1t
was an argument i'll favor of continued
Democratic supremacy that is absolutely
unanSWerable.

TAKE A REST.

In recent lecture at Harvard college,
DR.. SARGENT, the instructor in physical
improvement, gave some useful hints in re-
gard to obtaining rest from OverwoTk. He
thinks that the bulk of diseases among men
is due to the strain of business which in
vites disease and depletes the nervous sys-
tenn. He regards recreation of some sort as
absolutely essential to restore the equilib-
rum of physical and mental force. He
says that good digestion is the first requisite
for recreation, and that good digestion is
physicians will recommend brisk walk as
the best form of exercise, but for persons
unaccustome0 to exercise this is not good,
because the brain being the only part of the
body that is kept in active exercise, forces
blood to the head and causes headache.
Men on whom walking produces such an
effect should take to passive exercise. Men
in mercantile pursuits get nearly enough
physical exercise and their recreation should
be mildly intellectual, such as is caused
by change of scene. Stock brokers and
bankers are advised to take the quietest
kind of exercise. Mechanics and clerks are
recommended to attend light entertain
ments or to play such games as. chess or
checkers, while mild gymnasium exercise
is recommended to nearly every person in
proportion to his ability to stand it.
These hints are very pertinent, for the
man who is in active business Of any kind
who neglects to take up some form of exer
else or recreation will find himself broken
down before he knows it, and his career
ended just when it ought to be in the ze-
NTH of prosperity and activity.

s'THE ST. PAUL GLOBE comedies that Mr.
WHTTELAw REID is supposed to be success
full editor and is the author of cookbook.
But continues the GLOBE, the book is no
good" This is harsh. an UNJUST criticism.
Mr.. Reds cookbook is considered a standard
work in all polite circles and an authority on
all matters pertaining to the cuisine. 1t is
true that the book is not above criticism-for
instance, we are 10th to Endorse its recipe for
the concOction of parsley omelet; others
have found fault with its recipe for Breakfast
mullins. But it would be unfair to condemn
the whole work simply because in two or three
isolated cases Mr.. REDS recipes differ from
those recipes we have been in the habit of u.s.
ing in our domestic circles. Shall we taboo
Mr.. Reds recipes for salads, batter-cakes,
charlotte russo, sy1abub, floating island,
angel food. cream puffs, potted veal, souse,
Goldfish balls, johnny cake, sliced tomatoes
etc., because Mr.. REID happens to miss our
taste with his parsley omelets and breakfast
mullins? This would be unfair, unjust-nay,
more-it would be a species of intolerance
bordering upon bigotry. Chicago News. 1t
was Mr.. Reds recipe for making waffles

PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE.
There comes from the East with its clouds of
wrongs
AhI keen as the lightning's dart
The shaft of pain that shall quiver long
In Christian England's heart:-
There come from the East on the burdened
breeze
Such voices Of woe and wall,
That beyond the bounds of the barrier-seas,
The face OF the world grows pale;-
Aye! pale with sympathy deep as tears,
And sorrow of bOdeful gloom,
For the splendid sum of HerO'S years
Death rounded in dark Khartoum;-
He carried the banner of England high
In the flush of the Orient skies,
And the fervor of antique chivalry,
Outhashed from his warrior eyes!
Twas Ceur de Lions hand once more
Which the Lion flag led on,
But the soul of the dauntless soldier bore
The chrism of pure St. John:
o! hand of iron, but heart as sweet
AS the roses spring time breath,
We deem that its pulses of pity beat
In the very grasp Of death!
And the outcast thousands for whom he
In the pauses of toll and strife,
Far, far, from the glitter of lance or sword
The waters of Love and Life
They are looking with moistened eyes, to-day,
On the streets his footsteps trod,-
!'Shall we meet him again?'' they softly say,
''In the wonderful City Of GOd?'
They left him to perish by steel or shoI
In the core of the savage lands,
And be thrust away in desert spot
Of the wild Soudanian sands:-
But the reckless at home, and the Traitor
abroad.
What matters it now to one
Who is resting at last in the peace of his Lord,
Above the stars and the sun?
Still, comes from the East with its stormy
wrong,
All! keen as the lightning's dart
The shaft of pain that shall quiver long,
In Christian England's heart! Il
Still, come from the East on the mournful
breeze,
Low voices of woe and wall,
And beyond the bounds of the barrier-seas,
The face of the world grows pale!

Serious Accident.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
while car of slabs was being backed for
use at the elevator to take out an empty, it
was found that the coupler of the one was
much higher than the other and the brake
man did not succeed in making the con-
nection. Robert Brewer, the engineer at
the elevator, came out to assist, but in some
way he got caught between the loaded car
and the brick wall and badly crushed. In
deed, he was so firmly wedged in that the
slabs had to be thrown off the car before he
could be released. He was able to walk to
the Office and Dr.. Millard was sent for, who
made partial examination, finding some
of his ribs broken and the breastbone caved
in. There were also some cuts on his head.
After time he was taken to his home on
the North hill and everything is being done
for his comfort, but the case is a very seri-
Gus one, as inflammation of the lungs may
take place.
