CITY HALL REPAIRS.
The Mayor SquareIy on Record as

The Mayor Squ8relY on Record as
IndOrsing the Same.
To the credit of Mayor Pilsbury let it be
be said that he does not now shirk response
bility in connection with the repairs made
on the city hall at an expense of nearly
S33, coo. but that whatever may have been
his views heretofore he now declares the
job to have been necessary and economic
ally done; that be also certifies to the in
tegrity of every alderman on the job, and
that there has been nothing wrong in con-
nection with it. He doubtless forgets how
he cOmplimented Aid. Haugan when the
latter called halt and the number Of per-
sons to whom he was Outspoken in con-
demning the extravaganza, and certifies that
he was blind to that which all others saw
and which all the papers have commented
upon. He does not know that the carpenter
work was done by Aid. Cutters foreman;
that the iron work was done by Aid.
Hashow's foreman; that the painting
was done by Aid. Slys foreman:
that minor work of various kinds was done
by the foremen of other aldermen. Of
course he doesn't know this, although every
one else around the building does, and were
he conversant with the fact he is too confid-
ing to suspect wrong or imagine that any
OF the foremen were ''stoOl pigeons" But
he does know and has repeatedly stated to
others that the work cost at least twice
what it should have cost, and he knows
that if this be true the people have been
swindled to the extent of over SIG. 900. but
sees nothing wrong in connection with it.
The people, however. more especially the
lower strata" keep their eyes open and
will not indorse those who ''having eyes
see not. and having ears hear not'-that ic
not when it isn't to their interest.

THE POSITION.

The facts as to the campaign are that
Mayor PILLsBURY repeatedly told Demo
Gratis that he would under no circumstan-
ces be a candidate" He also spared no
pains to so assure the Republicans. The
Democrats went on with their canvass be-
lieving he would do as he promised. Not
only that but it was expected the PILLS
BURY family would lie low in the hight,
and not tear their shirts for the Repub-
lcan candidate. Acting under this view Of
the case, and believing that the tide was
running strong in favor of Democracy since
it had the president the canvas was beg un
in good earnest. Now comes in the mayor.
accepts what he had before declined, puts
the Democrats to apparent disadvantage.
and begS Republicans for support. Can
Democrats do anything else but render their
best efforts for their candidate DR.. AMEs?
And can Republicans now supporG man
false to every promise and looking only to
his own gain?

THE SIXTH SOLID.
#. l.. Vandersen for Amcs--As is All
the DisafTected Msvemeut.

One of the staunchest and most con-
sistent supporters Of Aid. Matthew Walsh
in the Sixth ward is +. L. Vanderson. He
fought hard to secure the aldermanic nomi-
nation to Mr.. Walsh. and when he was de-
feated Mr.. VanderSon felt sorry and claimed
unfair dealings had brought about the re-
suit. While his feelings had been deeply
lacerated. he still held to the Democratic
ship, and is sanguine of victory. He is
working indefatigably for DIR. Ames. and
when he deserted Jacob Stoft for Louis
Fredrickson Tor alderman, he insisted that
every Frederickson ticket should be headed
by DR.. Ames for mayor. This proposition
met with full accord from Mr.. FredricksoR
and Is, 600 tickets have been so printed.
This only goes to show that what
ever local misunderstanding and
disaffections there may be in
the Sixth ward, the Democracy still stands
solidly for DR.. Ames, who will carry the
ward by rousing majority, despite the
immense amount of -four and groceries
that Pillsbury has distributed in the ward.
with the request that each recipient should
vote for him-Pillsbury.

Amdavits OF Men That They Were

S. c. Cutter, the Doodle alderman
of the Fifth, has assumed a pitiful air of
injured innocence. He undertakes to wash
his hands of the $4,000 city hall job. by
charging ID. ID, Smith with being intoxi-
Gated while in his (Cutter's) employ. on
the Tribune building. and by alleging that
his only connection with the Infamous job
was that of overseer. His efforts in this
direction are checkmated by afiidavits of
of the men who worked on the building.

all taken out. the paper having learned, in
the meantime, the utter falsity of the state
ments. The facts are that the tickets are
beng printed by Herman Dierek, on North
Washington avenue, and an investigation
by the secretary of the Typographical union
showed him TO be an honorary member of
the union, and in good standing with it.
This shows to what desperate straits the
Republican papers are driven. Here is one
which snatched up false rumor, and with

CHAs. A. PILLsBURY.
IL will be noticed that Mr.. Pillsbury's
letter contains no denial Of the material
facts, viz: That provisions and groceries
are being distributed TO procure work and
votes for MIR. PillSbury. The GLOBE knows
Mr.. G. A. Pillsbury TO be an honest and
honorable man, and his statements are en-
titled TO full credence. But the GLOBE
also believes the Republican city committee
is composed or men entirely too smart TO
allow anybody TO connect it with campaign
methods OF any kind.

AN APRIL FOOL.
A PilIsbury Donation That II cached
the Wrong Man,

On April 1 a colored man presented an
order on Wesley Neill & Co.. received a
half sack of flour and by paying a quarter
to an expressman had itcarried to his home.
The order came from the Republican CON-
mittee. but the man who got the -four will
through Dick Jackson and was given to
Charles A. Epps. Epps was reported to be
doubtful and jackson proceeded to make
him solid" They met on the Sidewalk in
front of the Republican headquarters and
Jackson used all his eloquence on his friend
concluding as follows: ''Stick by me and
you shall want for nothing" well"
said Epps, Il want some -four" Accord
ingly the order was given him and he got
the half sack. The philopena is that he is
an Ames man from base. The transaction
occurred on All Fools day.

What Mr.. PilIsbury Says--The Facts

The GLOBE of yesterday morning pub

otherwise than he. had gray hair and was
well-dressed," was going about the Sixth
ward distributing provisions and urging the
recipients to support and elect MIR. Pills

tribution come from Mr.. Pillsbury. or the
Republican city committee and Mr.. Peter
Noels, who was visited, did not say so. Mr..

as the GLOBE desires to be perfectly fair,
his letter is published:

wager that in case Dr.. Ames did not receive
5000 majority in the city, he should stand
on the corner Of Nic0llet avenue and WASH

and in case DR.. Ames actually got 5000
majority Priestu is to sell the red-hots.
The proposition was accepted, and a for

Who support PiIIsbury.

The Lower Strata" is what the Repub-
licans calls the workingmen who support
DR.. Ames. They consider themselves the
equal, at least, of the people who support
MavOr Pillsbury. Among the latter may
be classed Frank Shaw. the gambler, Bar
rett. the notorious ICON" man, the street
walkers who have been given unlimited
liberties. the owners of drug stores who
have been allowed to run blind pigs for two
wears without paying license or fine. and
even the advocacy of the lewd girls of First
street, who have not been fined monthly as
under Dr.. Ames' administration.

The Mayor Misauoted Him.

Mayor Pillsbury wilfully misquoted the
remarks Of DIR. Ames made i'm his Bloom
ington avenue speech. What the doctor
did say was that several of our aldermen,
meaning Republicans like Lawrence and Ed
johnson. were dreamers and impracticable
men-men who had not been in other cities
and did not know how other cities were
managed. Yet Mayor Pillsbury held him
up as saying they were incompetent and the
like. This is only another of the mayors
inaccuracies of statement and shows him to
be in his dotage

The Solidity of Berlin.

Berlin is solid city, for the Berlin
character is deep and substantial. 1t:
solidity is more manifest than its good
taste, though this is by no means always
lacking. Since Germany has en-.
deavored to compete with France in
the markets of the world she has at.
tempted to initiate French goods, even
those into which art largely enters, but
with imperfect success. German cloths
are not equal to those of either Eng.
land, France or Belgium. German
hosiery is invariably poor. German
jewelry is honest, but not as tasteful
as that made in Paris or in New York
and San Francisco. So with the inf
mite category of fancy goods. A shop
window on the Inter den Linden does
not compare favorably with one on the
Paris boulevards, either in respect to
quality of goods, elegance of pattern OF
taste of arrangement. Whether it is a
suit of clothes. night shirt, necktie.
or a set of toilet articles, the want of
skill in making an of taste in design
ing is seen at gSsce. On the other
hand, there is no >apparent effort to
make a thing seem better than it is.
On this point the purchaser is rarely
eceived.-COr. San Francisco ChrOni-

reminded the doctor of a promise
he had made to show me a foot race
between ostriches. We Immediately
went to broad, open space between
the ostrich pens and the house. One
of the keepers opened the door of one
of the pens, and in response to the
doctors call, two superb ostriches
came running to him. After caressing
the gentle creatures for few moments
he showed them handful of figs. of
which they are extremely fond. Two
of his men then restrained the birds by
placing nooses about their legs until
he and myself had walked away about
a quarter of mile. Then, at a'signal
from the doctor the birds were rel. esed
and the race began. 1t was a rare
sight. Ornithologists tell us that the
stride of the ostrich when feeding is
from 20 to % inches; when walking,
but not feeding, 26 inches; and when
terrified, from II! to IA feet. 1t seemed
to me that in this race for handful of
figs from their master, these gigantic
birds covered the last named distance
at every stride. Like the wind they
came, their great necks stretched for
ward and upward to their utmost
length, and their wings working.
They kept well abreast for nearly half
the distance and then one began to
forge ahead. He Increased his lead
until within a short distance of US,

that his competitor was considerably
